Skin Food Milk Shake Make-Up Remover

I finally found a new favourite make up remover! I discover this when i was in Seoul. I have been using the Botanics soothing eyes make-up remover for the longest time, so it's really time to try something new. I have probably used up at least 6 bottles of Botanics remover and i think i have another 2 more in my cabinet.
The reason i love this new remover is because it removes my eye make up as effective as oil based make up remover but it does not leave an oily residue behind. It has a milky texture.
There are 2 separate layers of  liquid, you have to shake everything up before using it as you would normally do with oil based eye remover.

Once you shake it up, it really looks like milk shake which was really fun hahaha. You can use this for both eyes and lip.
Shake shake baby!!
Verdict : I extremely love this. Removes the toughest mascara and eye liners like a breeze leaving the skin around the eyes really comfortable
Price : RM 39.90 (160ml)

Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins

 

L-R : Face cream, Serum and Toner
I was suffering from sensitive skin and was breaking out like mad 5 months ago. I was having redness on my cheeks and also pimples popping out randomly. I decided to try a sensitive skincare range. I got to know about this range from origins on accident. I was in seoul and shopping at Shila and was looking for a natural skin care. While I was at origins counter getting my Modern Friction, the SA recommended me this range. I decided to buy the whole range (almost the whole range to be exact). Having said that, not everything was in full size.

The serum works really well for me. Within 3 weeks, the redness and the dryness has reduced, but not the pimples, I treated that with another product which I will tell you all about it soon :).

I am not so keen about the smell of the products. For some strange reason it smells “medicinal”, which is probably contributed by the all-natural products I assume. Having said that, I have a friend who uses this range and she described the scent as “therapeutic”. So I guess it really depends on individual when it comes to scents.

White color - Face Cream
Brown - Serum
The serum absorbs fairly quickly and the face cream complements the serum very well, the only down side is that I find the cream too heavy for morning use. I used the toner, serum and face cream during the day and night for 3 consecutive weeks. Then after that, I only use them at night.

Verdict : Based on personal experience, this range does work to calm the skin. It takes at least 3 weeks to see the result and I think that the time frame needed for any skin care. The only concern I have is the face cream being too heavy for morning use. Either than that, it did help to calm my skin when I needed that the most. I have finish using everything by now and I may repurchase this range when I get sensitive skin again.

Price : N/A – I can’t remember how much I paid in Seoul for these.
