Banila co. - CLEAN IT ZERO

Banila co. "Contemporary Beautyware"

I got to know this Korea brand during my first trip to Seoul. My bff recommended their signature product to me. I'm happy that Banila co. officially come in to Malaysia Market and we no longer need to stock up through online buying.

28th May is the grand opening for The Garden branch, 15% for all items. It's good deal. I stock up few items. Let me introduce below.

Signature Product - CLEAN IT ZERO
light weight sorbet-like textured makeup removing cleansing balm that whisks away pore-clogging impurities.
why CLEAN IT ZERO?

• Convenient, no-dripping balm texture
• Perfectly remove even tough make up
• Whisks away pore-clogging impurities
• Refreshingly dissolves all traces of make up

How to Use: Scoop a small amount on dry hand and massage over the face until make up is dissolved. Rinse with water.

180ml Ultra Size

Very worth on price, 80ml extra than the normal size and it come with the set - One travel size cleansing form. I love travel size as very comfortable I could bring around for short trip and no need to check in for luggage.

Show other items on my next post. Stay tuned!

New experience with Innisfree Makeup Cushion

All the while, I am using full coverage cream foundation. Advertisement really stands as a powerful tool, it makes me really want to give a try to Innisfree Cushion after viewing the advertisement through youtube.
Quick check out to one of the store in Malaysia - Pavilion Shopping Mall. The sales associate really helpful, explained all types of cushion and recommended which suit my skin concerns.

4 types of cushions for different of skin concerns
- Long Wear Cushion - Summer Strong
- Water Glow Cushion - Daily Use
- Ampoule Intense Cushion - Winter Strong
- Ampoule Intense Cushion (cover) - Winter Strong & Effective Coverage

During the conversation, the sales associate listen to my needs and checked on my skin condition. She recommended Long Wear Cushion. That's 4 stars coverage, SPF50+/PA+++,Sebum control & Sweat proof. Use for oily skin types, blurred & pore less skin look, makeup fixing.

Once decided the type of cushion, second step is choosing the colour code. Mine colour code is no.23. It looks natural after putting onto my face.

The next day, I was replacing my makeup foundation with Innisfree Make up Cushion. The texture very smooth, easy to blend into skin with sponge provided. Skin tone looks more shine. Oil control very good after long hours. Easy to carry too as can put into the make up pouch, do not need to bring separate brush. 

Let me show the result, selfie time as usual. Definitely will recommend to all my friends. 

If you are BB cushion lover, I would recommend you give a try to Innisfree brand.

Solo Trip - Nara, Japan - 故事1

入住奈良是在行程的第二天，由大阪乘坐高铁去奈良大概需要一个小时多。 丑事发生了，本小姐搭错火车。在日本，火车有分很多种。我只买了最普通的车票但就搭了特快的航线，半途查票姐姐叫我下车等普通航线。那一刻，真的很想找洞钻。

只好下车等下班车， 第一课上了。一个小时多过去了，终于来到奈良站。整个路程不敢刷手机，怕误了站。 另一个丑事接着发生， 从出口处， 我看到长楼梯。我提着大行李箱， 18公斤，要怎么完成任务？ 只有硬着头，一级一级向上爬。 那时真后悔，为什么带将多服饰。 爬了四五级，一位大叔摇着头来帮我。感谢天啊。第二天，我才发现其实可以找到升降机。在那时我应该思考。 难不成，带重物件或残障人士就不能出入自如吗？大乡里啊！

从车站去宾馆需要三十分钟的行程，用走的。 刚才的严重运动量已经够折磨了。 本小姐决定叫计程车，坐进计程车，鸡同鸭讲。幸好我把所有资料储存在Samsung Galaxy Tab A 。特地为了这个旅程而花费的。

十分钟过去，终于找到了宾馆。下车了，天啊！长楼梯再出现了，很明显没有升降机，全是石楼梯。我看着司机大叔装出可怜的样子， 好心的大叔终于出手相助。今天真是出入遇大叔贵人。

 以上分享了一些宾馆的相片和资料。 对我来说，除了那石楼梯以外，我会打九分给这宾馆。干净，整齐，宽敞，有家的感觉。很多外国人入住。柜台服务人员能用英语沟通，很棒！我和两位英国和一位中国美女同房。 基本上大家只是闲聊了一会就各自刷手机。难道现在的人都不说话吗？入住的时候已经接近旁晚，只是出去买些简单的晚餐和吃了第一支巨峰冰淇淋。紫色是我的挚爱。

之前做了一些资料收集，过了旁晚别到处走。入黑之后看不清路面情况，会跟鹿儿们相撞。还是乖乖地待在宾馆，准备明天的行程。养足精神。

第二天，收拾行李准备去观光。看到了本小姐暂时不会做的事情。那两个英国美女，她们把衣服翻过来穿， 将一件衣服就能穿两次，减少行李的重量。 这就是背包客的秘诀吧。看着自己的行李箱，我觉得要成为一位背包客，我还需要很多的磨炼。努力吧。成功率应该很低吧。一个将爱美的我。 哈哈。

挑战自己=面对自己

人究竟有多认识自己? 认识我的朋友都会怎样形容我呢?
每个人都希望被挂上所有好的，正面的形容词。
这一次我做了一个决定，一个人的旅行。用一点时间去探讨自己，挑战，调整自己。

在这个过程中也许会发掘比较负面的东西，但我觉得是应该面对自己。人在没压力的时候更能表现出最真实的内心。

除此之外，也可以探讨自己的适应能力，解决问题的能力。一个人的旅行出状况是最多。还要在沟通上有阻碍的地方-日本。这个过程一定非常有趣。

旅程刚开始，还算顺利。但已经发掘有些事情可以改进。不错不错。

我本人蛮鼓励女生给自己一个单独的旅行。当然不是每个国家都适合。在挑选地方的同时也为自己带来新的看法。在搜查资料的过程也为自己带来很多新知识。

下一篇在探讨旅程的趣事。

Afternoon Tea with My Bestie @ Sunway Resort & Spa

Afternoon Tea is always favourite for my girls. Create a theme, plan what to wear, dress up beautifully on that day. Photo taking and selfie are the activities we are looking forward. Food is that the matter? hahaha. I think is not the most important thing. The most important thing is we capture the happy moments when we still CAN!

This time we choose a place which bring a lots of memories - Sunway Resort & Spa. I believed everyone came here few times before this gathering. The place is a bit quiet, basically like we own the place. Atmosphere is nice, full of privacy. We snap photos, talk and laugh loudly. Great times to catch up with everyone.

Floral themed Afternoon Tea

Afternoon Tea set come with your favourite teas (English Breakfast, Earl Grey, Chamomile and Peppermint)

Even though food is not the main thing, but I still would like to give a recommendation to the delicious snacks and cakes. Taste really good. 

I love the Salmon Sandwiches.

Fruit Tart got most recommendation from the girls. Fruits on top are fresh and the tart very crispy. 

Traditional sandwich with cucumber, cheese and vegetable is just so nice. Original always taste good!

A cup of my favourite tea (Peppermint) make me feel so relax. Let's Chill!

Wherever we are, it is our friends make our world!

First experience with Tom Ford

Get to know Tom Ford beauty through my bestie. From there I started to do google search, follow their Instagram. Found the lips product is so attractive. Unfortunately Tom Ford is not available in Malaysia. The nearest stores are located in Thailand and Singapore.

My girl's dream is to own a Tom Ford lipstick. My dream came true during my birthday trip to Bangkok. I found it at Siam Paragon Shopping Mall. Price range considered very high for a lipstick, only can invest one. 

COLOR CRIMSON NOIR

Colour chosen is Crimson Noir. This is the colour recommended by the beauty consultant. She was providing a very nice experience to me. She explained which colour suit my skin tone more. Even she put it on my lips. That's really make me feel more confident with the product and colour chosen.

Do some touch up by myself. Pretending to professional. 

Review for the lipstick, feel creamy and comfortable, the colour Crimson Noir brighten up my skin tone. 

During my trip to Singapore, the beauty consultant inform new colour series will be launched on winter season. Maybe that's my next beauty investment. 

High Tea at W Singapore Sentosa Cove
