Niu Er Bionic Range

Ever heard of Niu Er products?

I've been using these products for quite sometime now and I think its about time I review them a little bit.

This is the handsome young man behind this brand.


"Skin specialist" Niu Er (牛爾)

He has his own website too > *click*

One of his range of product called "Bionic" was really satisfying for me. You can see more here.

Bionic is a short name for Lactobionic, chinese called 乳糖酸. Here's some data from google:

• Ideal for post procedural care and acne recovery
• Provides softness and a velvety smoothness to the skin
  
• AHA anti-aging properties and cell turnover benefits
• Exfoliates, plumps and soothes skin
• Provides intense moisturization to minimize the visible signs of aging.

and more interesting....

• Has been in medical applications including as an ingredient in preservation solutions for human organs for transplantation!!

From Niu Er's Bionic range, I only picked two out of the three of them.

There are also other brands who uses lactobionic acid such as Neostrata and Nuskin. And of coz, they were incomparable with Niu Er's range because of its price factor. :P

The packaging of these range were in white and it looks a little "too simple" with its design.



(1) Bionic serum 10 (Serum)


The benefits from this bottle of serum from the website were tightening of pores, whitening & hydrating benefits.

Main ingredients were Lactobionic acid, glycerin, Vit A, E and C.

How it looks like?

Crystal clear liquid...

Price: NT550 for 30ML (approximate RM60+)

Overall Review:
It absorbs to the skin almost instantly after applied. It is quite watery and it contains very very minimal fragrance in it. I love this a lot because it does shows tightening of pores (on me). I recommend this for those who have oily or combi skin. It does feel a little drying for those who had dry skin.

My rating for this :

(2) Bionic 8 (Moisturizer)

How it looks like?


After application....


Price: NT500 for 50ml (approx RM55+)

Overall Review: This lightweight moisturizer absorbs into the skin fairly quick. However, it absorbs a little slower than its other cousin called Q10 rejuvenation emultion. The consistency of Bionic 8 is also a little watery but after application onto the skin, it feels quite moisturizing. Best of it ,the moisturizer does not feel oily(or shiny) nor sticky too.

After almost a year of owning this, I did not break out at all.

One side note, this moisturizer and serum works better if they are paired together.

My review for this:


Here's my before and after pics (sorry for the bad lighting!)
Before: Cleansed face without anything on
After: Bionic Serum 10 & Bionic Moisturizer 8

MAC Blonde, Brunette and Redhead Collection Haul + My say

Woo hoo! I got my BBR stuff!

BBR as in Blonde, Brunette, Redhead collection from MAC.

*credits to bjooti*







Nice right? But I only got two items from the BBR collection. :P

My Blonde MSF and MAC 226 brush!

The Awful Damage:
MAC 226 - RM105
Blonde MSF - RM103

I didn't buy Redhead / Brunette MSF as I do quite like the peachy-yellow/gold shimmers from Redhead and Brunette is a little to heavy for me. Blonde was great as a blusher for me as it is super-pigmented after I swiped them twice (lightly) on my cheeks. Definitely you should check them out instead of waiting for Hello Kitty's collection. BTW, they had launch BBR in Penang on Feb-20, so you should still be able to get them before they ran out of stock for these MSFs. Cream Team is out too @ Penang's MAC!

Some swatches that I have tried..
From BBR's lip colors.


And Cream Team's lip colors. Their lipglass packaging is very elegant looking!I like the name "lickable" which I think it is a sexy name.. hahaha.. But I didn't bought any of them. -_-"


Here's my review of the Blonde's MSF..



I am loving it! Seriously, this round's MSF texture was superb. Fine and smooth, and very pigmented! If I got to know Blonde MSF first, I wouldn't sell myself off for MAC's over-rated Petticoat MSF. This is way much better than that in terms of its texture wise.

Just look at how powdery it is. Just a swipe on my fan brush!


The awesome ingredients of MSF:



As for the MAC 226...


I haven't really use the MAC 226 brush but it sure does help me in blending (As I had a very small cease). The brush is soft too! It does shed a little when I wash them. In fact, I think most MAC brushes do shed a little though. Just like my 187 still shed after using it for 4 years. LOL! :)

The carrot-like-head..:P




The only brush that I have that has the same shape as this was from Coastal Scents Italian badger round cease brush..

It is not a dupe for MAC's 226 , mind you. Why? Because CS's bristles are more compact, short and dense whereas MAC's one were more fluffy and less compact.

See how it picks up the color by just one swipe?


It really does its blending job well too! :) I *heart* it.

Overall, the MSFs are the ones that really gets alot of love this round. Definitely should check them out when you still had the chance to!
