{Butterfly Project School} Bag of Lice



It's Halloween!!! and I gt a spooky surprise this year!
Mamasan of the Butterfly Project Malaysia gave us a Caterpillars 1-Day Shocked.
25 caterpillars were choose to review the Halloween-themed Bag of Love Lice.

Love to make notes before I do any blog post to avoid missing any details.

For those who are new to this new concept of beauty box:
A beauty box is a beauty subscription where subscribers will get a new mystery box with deluxe sample-sized beauty products after their subscription. 

Remember my post about Bag of Love special edition
I told u how much I like Bag of Love than the others beauty box as they DOES NOT COME IN A BOX!!!
Instead, it comes in a beautiful, customised and unique bags each month. 
I am not only looking forward to those products in it but also the Bag itself. 
It can be my stationary bag, toiletry bag, cosmetic pouch.... etc. 
Women will never have enough pouch. (Or maybe only me?  *shy shy) 

Bag of Love always bring us surprises such as including a BOOK in their Bag of Love in August to cultivate/promote reading habits and share their book of interest. 
For monthly subscription fee of RM39.90, I am sure that we always get something more than that. 
Also, each subscription will contribute RM1 to Bag of Love which spread all our love to those who are needed (for charity). 

 After I received the email from Mamasan that informing for being chosen for the Caterpillars 1-Day shocked, I had been waiting the spooky bag to reach me.
Finally I received my Bag of Lice yesterday!

 I think I do after unwrapping is uploaded this pic to Instagram to inform the Butterflies and Mimi from Bag of Love that I received it. 

Mimi sent us Bag of Lice in witch costume!

I like this! Say Boo!
Clearly list down every item in the bag and direction of application. 
We got 3 FULL-SIZED items this time!


Splassh Mini glow in the Dark Nail Polish. Full-Sized, worth RM3.90
Don't be scared if you see flying nails in the dark :p

Highly raved Definite Smudger Brush, Full-Sized, worth RM69
They actually given out two types of brush (the other one is a Eye Blender Brush) randomly.
 Don't worry if you see mine is different from yours. 

Nanowhite Infinity Color Correction (CC cream) SPF50/PA+++, Full-Sized, worth RM49.90
My first CC cream! 

SP Smoothen Shampoo, 30ml (worth RM72 for a full-sized of 250ml)
SP Color Save Mask, 30ml (worth RM109 for a full-sized of 200ml)
I got my special favoritism towards hair product. 
I think I care for my hair more than my face. 
Love to have this especially for travelling.

Collistar Biorevitalizing Anti-Cellulite Concentrate, 30ml (worth RM185 for a full-sized of 200ml)
A famous brand but new product to me. 
This is the wonder of beauty bag, isn't it?

Beside the items in the list, we got a voucher for Lovely Chocolate Spa Treatment. 
We can enjoy chocolate body scrub, shower, aromatherapy massage, aroma eye pillow treatment, and ginger tea in 75 mins  at RM99++ per pax (min 2 pax)

Here come the pouch! This time we got a drawstring pouch. 
For me, it is best to be used as a toiletry bag or cable bag. 
Its large-sized will be enough for me to fit all the different cable and chargers in. 

My favorite product:

I was so amazed of it when I first try it. 

It is a milky white cream initially. When I blend it, I transform to fit my skin tone. (Like Magic!)
As you can see in pic no.5, my skin tone was even out. 
and I don't feel any greasiness. 
Love my first CC cream by Nanowhite, introduced by Bag of Love Lice.

He tried his best to solve the problems after few emails and calls. 
They helped me to add the delivery address manually. 
Thumbs up for their quick response and help! 

当晚,就赶紧发了个电邮向他们求助。第二天一早Ian Chua就回复我了哦~~~

She believed in the power of social media, by sharing, we can gather more people to contribute their ideas.
This is important as we have the power to improve the our quality of living in Malaysia or even the whole Asia Pacific.

This contest in held internationally with Thailand, Indonesia,Singapore, Malaysia
Philips hopes to cooperate with individuals, communities and the public to make meaningful innovation come true in helping us live healthier, safer.
They are gathering ideas for healthier home and safer cities.
These are the best shelters for us and our families. Everyone deserves to stay in a safe environment that free from man-made threats such as road accidents, theft, robbery and etc.
Meanwhile, when people become busier in their daily lives, most people neglected their health.

{Review} All-time favorite SebaMed Lip Defense Lip Balm (SPF30)

Girls always have some necessities to bring along when going out.
As for me, I pack all my Must-have items in my small little pouch.
From left to right
1. The pouch
2. Sanitary pad and waste paper
3. Tissue pouch
4. Permen (Woods' peppermint lozengs extra strong)
5. Hansaplast (Useful especially wearing new ballerinas)
6. Sebamed Lip Defence (Big <3- check it out below)

Product of the day:

The one and only lip balm I ever finish it and keep returning to it. (I am on my third tube, and bought my fourth!)


It provides the best defense to against the irritating, drying effects of environmental influences. 
Its feature to provide triple protection:
 - Regenerates dry & chapped lips quickly and effectively, alleviating irritation and inflammation with vitamin      E and bisabolol (camomile extract)
 - Nurtures sensitive lips with the intensive treatment properties of the essential plant extracts jojoba and rice    bran. Protecting lips from dehydration. 
 - Defends the tender lip tissue with UVA and UVB filters against sun burn and its consequnces. 
It's ideal for dry, chapped lips. 

[Ingredients]:
Caprylic/Capric/succinic Triglyceride, Cera alba, Isoamyl p-Methoxycinnamate, Ricinus communis seed oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Tocopheryl Acetate, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Oryza sativa bran wax, Simmondsia chinensis seed oil, Glyceryl Ricinoleate, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Bisabolol, Parfum. 

Simple and plain packaging. It's fragrance-free and colorless. It's a little greasy but I like it gives me the intensive care of my lips. My lips easily get dry and chapped till I can easily peel of the dead skin but this will make my lips pigmented. This lip balm provides me all protection and care I need. 
It works to support & protect the natural barrier function of the skin's acid mantle without perservative. 

Pros: 

Fragrance-free, colorless, moist, provide SPF protection.


Cons:

NONE!

Verdict:

Go get 1 and share your love!

I get mine in Guardian at RM10.03 (promotional price).

{Butterfly Project School Chapter 1: Natta Cosme}: Review of Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel Alcohol-free Toner

This post finally up. I wanna share my review of Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel Alcohol-free Toner.
For those who miss my unwrapping experience, check it out in my previous post.

And once again, thanks to Butterfly Project Malaysia and Natta Cosme for their collaboration which benefits us as a new learning process in blogging and experience such a impressive product.

Natta Cosme was founded by 2011. They have a actual store in Seremban. For babes in Seremban, find their address in here, and go for shopping!!  For those who is much further from there, no worries, we can always access their fabulous selections of products through www.nattacosme.com . They sell the hottest product from Japan, Taiwan and Korea. For those nature-lovers, they also resell those organic products from US and UK too.

Product of the Day: 

Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel Alcohol-free Toner



Thayers blended rose petal water with Witch Hazel extract (certified organic Aloe Vera) and Vitaminin E in this amazing toner. This combination (especially Witch Hazel) did excellent in pore tightening, smoothing and beautifying skin without drying it. 
P/S: Thayers are the only Witch Hazel products made of non-distilled extract fro the Witch Hazel Shrub which maintain the highest levels of therapeutic tannins.

What it comes for: 

-Moisturizes
-Cleanse

What is it special for:

- Alcohol-free
-Paraben-free
-Propylene Glycol-free
-Un-distilled Witch Hazel

[Ingredients]:
Purified water, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (Certified organic filet of Aloe Vera), Glycerin (Vegetable), Fragrance (Natural rose), Hamamelis Virginiane (Thayers proprietary un-distilled certified organic Witch Hazel) extract, Rosa Centifolia (Rose) flower water, Citric acid, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) seed extract, Tocopheryl (Vitamin E) Acetate.
IT's ORGANIC.

My personal experience of trying:

First impression: It's huge!
It is 355ml. 
Just to show you how is it different in size compared to a medium-sized toner. 
Last longer for those who do not like to change their toner frequently. 


As you can see, it's so clear. This transparent toner which allows me to read the introduction about it. 
Pleasant rosy smell I like. 
Personally don't like artificial, man-made smell. 
Hardly found rosy smell that I like and this is one of my favorite

Normal outlet.
I think is relatively small. I need to pour for few seconds. 
Yet, it's still convenient and not causing any trouble.

To apply toner, my personal habit is by using cotton pad. What do you think.
[Right: Lily Bell Lilian Puff from Natta Cosme]
The cotton pad remain in shape after wiping my whole round face.
[Left: Wxxtson's brand cotton pad]
A bit out of shape. The toner spread widely. I need to drench it with more toner. 

Impurities and dirt from my face (in the red round circle) eventhough I did double cleansing using makeup remover and cleanser foam. :(

Pros:

Scent: Big love. Natural rosy smell. Pleasant & soothing. 
Texture: Light and pure light water. Highly recommended for those who dislike sticky feel from toner. 
Function: Excellent in removing impurities without drying my skin. Good for any other product used after it to penetrate my skin. Moist & clean face brighten my days. 

Cons:

It give my warm, sting fell on my very first try of using it. (Probably because of my slightly sensitive skin but it doesn't happen anymore <3)

Verdict: 

I love it!!! I use it now for my days and nights skincare regime. Excellent scent, texture, function. 
Highly recommended for babes with all skin types especially normal to dry skin types. 

You can get it from Natta Cosme at only RM45 instead of RM55 (n.p)

{Butterfly Project School Chapter 1: Natta Cosme}: Unwrapping

(photo retrieved from Butterfly Project Malaysia FB)

Butterfly Project School offered their first intake of blogging in collaboration with Natta Cosme around mid September. I joined and so lucky!I was selected!!! It's the best learning opportunity especially for newbies like me. 

Yesterday, just before I step out of my house before heading to music school, I got my package from Natta Cosme. While waiting for our homework instruction for reviewing the product, just let you have a peep on the cute package I received. 
Pretty lacy box~~~ not a light one

Like having a red bomb ^.^

Sincere thanks deep down from heart.

Everything is protected.

Altogether, colorful and pleasant.

Thanks to Natta Cosme
We got surprise in the checkers envelope. 
Reveal it when I blog about the review :p

Opps! Capsule for beauty treatment !

Here come the main character. 
Perfectly armed and protected. 

Another surprise here. 
A huge bottle of Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera Toner. (335 ml) 

One of the surprises. 
Egyptian Magic All Purpose Skin Cream that created huge rave and being the secret of beauty of celebrities. 

Perfectly sealed toner. Not a single drop leaked. 
(I love how the ribbon match with the bottle, didn't take it off even after I unsealed it) 

Another protection seal. 
Silly me keep trying to pour the toner out on my first try  :( 

This is cute. 
There are some story about Thayers Alcohol-free Rose Petal Witch Hazeel Toner.
It's so clear that we can capture picture on it. 

Straightaway after I unwrap this package, I started to use it. 
Please bear with me for around one week time of trying.
