Naruko Narcissus Total Defense Mousse Facial Wash with love!

As you may know, I used quite a bit of Niu Er's product. From Skincology range and now I'm using Naruko, but not the full range of his product.

One of the product I really like is the mousse foaming cleanser.
In Chinese, it's called 水仙全效禦護潔顏泡.

And this is my first mousse cleanser that really amazed me compared to my other cleansers.

Mousse-y cleanser!


Up close.


Product Size: 150ml
Product Price: 249NT Online Price(Quoted from Naruko's website) I bought around RM32 from a local blogshop.

My thoughts:
I'm loving it as I just have to pump 1 or 2 times to get it on my palm and voila! I can just cleanse it straight away without having the need to foam the cleanser. And it feels uber-soft and gentle on my skin! The smell of the cleanser is also very calming and light. Also, it does NOT dry up my skin nor I felt tight after washing my face.

On the negative point, the cleanser does not last for long as it sure does finish by 3 months of continuous usage (day and night). =(

Will I repurchase? Yes! especially it does save my time on cleansing without the need to foam the cleanser up. Good for lazy people! (hee hee :P)

Here's the ingredients in case you need them.


Oh btw, the box can be recycled too! To a pencil box! How cool is that? :D


That's all and I'm done with cleanser. Gotta use my new Apple-Juicy one (*hint Korean *hint) :P

My Old Lover : ZA Deep Cleansing Oil

I haven't talked about this cleansing oil before as I have other alternatives now and then. However, when Jusco was kind of having a "clearance sale", I quickly grabbed them without even think twice because...

It was cheap okay!! 100 ml for RM15 = 15 cents per ml. =P

I've double & triple checked and these were manufactured somewhere on Oct / Nov 2010. So, it's still new! If I'm not mistaken, the local drugstore sells them around RM23.90 to RM30? I'll update again on the price for this.

So yeah, let me introduce you to my old lover, ZA Deep Cleansing oil.


Came in the little size of 100ml.


The description on the bottle.


Directions for you to use them.


The consistency wise of this cleansing oil...


My thoughts:
As you can see, the texture and consistency of this cleansing oil is runny and not thick. This is one of the reasons why I love it. For me, it works great and it is very easy to emulsify the cleansing oil when water came in contact with it. As for whether it works on waterproof make up or not (ie. mascara), I only uses eye makeup remover instead of cleansing oil, hence I'm not able to tell you whether this works or not.

On a downside, because of its runny texture, I sometimes do pump more than I used to compared to my other cleansing oil. Also, it has quite a strong fragrance (that smells something like rose (i think) to it. Other than that, I'm liking the product as it does its job.

One side note:
Please use this with dry hands on dry face!

Also, after slowly (and lightly!) massage the cleansing oil onto the face, DO NOT splash water onto your face (I know the description on ZA says a "splash of water" liquefies the Cleansing Oil). Instead, wet both hands with water and then slowly massage again on your face to emulsify the cleansing oil. Repeat 2 to 3 times (or more) until you don't see the "milky" water on your face/hands anymore. Then you are good to go with another follow up with a normal cleanser to double cleanse your face. Trust me, if you do this steps correctly, you won't even feel the "oily-ness" (or have anymore cleansing oil) on your skin.

Overall, I'm glad I did grabbed the two bottles that cost only RM15 (each!). It does bring back my old memories and reminds me how much I was "attached" to it in the past (and in the future now). =)

Yes to Carrots Lip Butter, yum!

"Erm.. wassup doc?" there goes my favourite childhood cartoon character - bugs bunny, when I first saw the YTC brand name around.

Doesn't the name sounds yummy? xD


I got this balm some time ago end of last year when I was "shopping" around in ebay. I got some lip smackers (back then when Malaysia doesn't have this!) and picked up this balm as well since the seller also has them. :D

Out of the carrots, melon, etc flavour options, I picked up the "Mint" flavour since I always love the "minty" sensation on my lips. :D

Also, it's stated 95% organic, au-naturale~

Hydrate. Conditions. Soothes.... does it? hmm....

Length in check!

Lip Butter "swatch"!

From Yes To Carrots

A beautiful smile will brighten your face, but what brightens a beautiful smile? Your lips - soft, smooth and shining! Yes To Carrots USDA Organic Lip Butters conditions, invigorates, and revitalizes your lips, moisturizing to keep them the smoothest and softest they can be. With this purchase, you get all 5 flavors: carrot, berry, citrus, melon and mint. Now you'll never be without smooth, soft lips!

• All Natural Ingredients
• No Animal Testing
• Paraben, Petroleum & Phthalate Free

Size: 0.15oz / 4.25g

Price: I got it around $3+ (it's less than $4) on ebay since Malaysia doesn't have it (I think?)

Made In: USA

My thoughts:
Not bad! I quite like the mint flavour on this one. It stays on quite awhile compared to my other balms.It glides on very smoothly, and it is also very buttery (hence the name!). Consistency wise, it is also much thicker than most of my other balms. Moisture wise, it is still consider okay (for me). It has a very slight sheen (see swatch above) and note it does not give any "moisture-look" like what I have experienced with MLS.

Overall, the lip butter does stay quite a while on my lips (probably 2-3 hours - under air-con room). It doesn't wear-off easily and it really does keep the lips soft and buttery smooth. If you have dry lips, probably can have a try on this one as it does keep my flacky dry lips off the bay for a while. :)

Would I repurchase this? May be not for now (since I prefer MLS which gives me a more moisture feel :D)

The ingredients that you may want to know....

That's all for my short review. I wish everyone a very good weekend ahead! :)

Two O Wan Wan... Here I come!

Happy New Year! (I know I'm always late, keke!)

Time sure flies! Looking back to 2010, I haven't been blogging that much.

Total Blogpost: 56 (2010) vs 60 (2009). WTH! lol!

But still, I absolutely love my 2010.

Had many many changes, including my job, my life, my family. And also, a huge 4 digit credit card debt that I never expect to hit on! hehe. So, let's hope a better financial planning this year! *crossing my fingers*

Out of the 12 months, December was one of my favourite month where I :-

• Travel to Seoul with my family
• Experienced Kimchi!
• Brought back extra 8kg of stuff.....

........ xoxo.... :D 1 bag go, 3 bags back.... 



















And went crazy shopping with my mom (final countdown of shopping!)

this was only partial of our haul though ... keke...

I'm definitely am happy with my 2010 and would expect my 2011 to be merrier!
And YES, more blog post too, I hope! xD
