Znique: Bye Bye Bump

Although I don't have a full face of acne, I recently had quite a bit of huge, ugly bumps (with pus) on my face due to the wrong use of a facial product. Annoyingly, the pus didn't grew smaller with the days. My facial couldn't really do much to it either because my therapist strongly advised against squeezing them.

I was quite affected by these huge pimples because although I never had fully clear skin, I never had such visible blemishes for long-term either. For a while, I avoided taking photos/ selfies because I didn't really wanted these moments immortalised.

When Znique sent over their anti-acne serum, I was like "why not". There was really nothing to lose. First of all, I really need to gush about the cute bag it came in and the cosmetics mirror. Really love the peachy pink colour. Am currently using it as a pouch to store my miscellaneous stuff.

The instructions specicfid using it 2-3 times a day. I only use it once before bedtime every night. The serum is rather gel-like and smells quite herbal. It is made up of natural ingredients so it is kinda of light on the skin. Most importantly, I find it quite effective for me.

Znique managed to reduce the redness. The bumps have grown smaller, but are the still there at the moment. However, I no longer have to shun close-up photos because it is not that visible. I mean if you zoom in etc., you probably can see it. I am quite satisfied with the product and will be using it until my bumps are gone.

If you are keen, it is now on sale at its website for $26. The usual price is $29.90. For friends with acne, I think I finally know how it feels like. My confidence did pummel a bit because of 2 big dots. I really hope Znique works for you. Cheers!

Feeling fresh with Jomingo

If life has taught me anything, it seems that as I age, I try to be more environmentally conscious and I seem to gear towards natural products. I came across Jomingo (a local brand) and wanted to share with you guys about this natural deodorant that keep your underarm fresh and stench-free.

To share a bit more, this is actually the first time I am using an organic deodorant. For green friends, you would be happy to know that all ingredients used are natural and ethically sourced. The packaging is also biodegradable. Comparatively, the product may seem a bit more premative. You merely press the side to push the product up (it doesn't have the twist and turn system like our lipsticks) but it doesn't affect the experience.

We reviewed both the Grapefruit and Lisea Cubea scent from Jomingo. If you really love a grapefruit, you will be pleased to know that the grapefruit deodorant smells like the actual fruit. Lisea Cubea is made out of a mixture of aroma scents. Although the ingredients are not specifically listed, I can smell the lemongrass in it. Good for outdoor activities to keep the mosquitoes at bay. 

Generally, I find the deodorants sticks quite easy to use. You merely have to swipe it twice under your armpit and you are good to go. The application is not very even and you may need to flick away the bigger pieces but I don't really find it much of a turn-off. It doesn't keep your pit totally dry, but even when I sweat, I still feel fresh and smells good <3 Honestly, I don't see myself going back to chemical products, given that the organic products work well for me. I am sure some of you may have more questions, so feel free to send them over :D

Little Miss Dainty with Yuna_Mis

"Never too many", that's what I would proclaim when it comes to earrings. I am bringing dainty, girly pieces back into my collection. FYI, I now have an earrings storage organiser and with more storage space, I can now increase my collection of danglies on my ears. Hehe.

When I received my package from Yuna_Mis, I had quite a bit of X'mas vibes from the flakes packaging. The little girl inside me squealed silently at the cute sakura flowers and pink wrapping. It has been a while since I felt so dainty. Maybe my style is evolving again...hehe.

1. Little Silver Crane ($8.90)

Am pretty thrilled by this piece because it got my hub's approval. Although I do think I am a strong independent woman and need no man agree with my shopping buys, his acknowledgement of my good taste made me felt good. In his words, "this piece is quite unique" and he fiddled with it a bit.

I do think although it is quite an interesting piece on its own, it may be a bit harder to draw attention to it on my ears because it is quite a tiny, intricate piece. Am thinking of tying my hair up when I show it to the world...hehe. Am quite pleased with this piece cos I am totally imagine dressing up or down with it. 

2.  Baby's Breath Crystal ($8.90)

Tada...presenting my favourite piece. This piece surpass my expectations with the intricacy of the flowers. Initially, I was a little worried it might be too heavy for my ears. I have quite a few pieces that made my ears hurt when I wear them too long. When I realise how light they were on my ears, I immediately upgraded this to be in my top 10 all-time favourites. 

I have shifted out of the dainty look for a while, simply because I am not a very demure lady. But I feel this piece has character and I think still reflect my personality in it. Yes, I wear my heart on my ears...not my sleeves. Saving this for CNY or wedding dinners. <3

3. Little Red Riding Hood ($13.90)

The last piece in the collection was an asymmetrical piece. This was initially my most anticipated piece. I feel a little bad for it, because it is placed last simply because the other 2 were too outstanding. Nonetheless, I still like the design. But it is definitely not a challenging piece if you intend to pair it with formal wear. 

Although I am not much of a sweetheart, the pieces of Yuna_Mis has definitely scored a place in my heart. And they are so thoughtful to provide complimentary alcohol wipes, spare back stoppers and polishing cloth. The polishing cloth is really handy even for my other jewelry. I have nothing but praises for Yuna_Mis, totally worth our support <3
