Yadah Collagen Ampoule Review

Sponsored Post

Anyeong~

I have been using Yadah Collagen Ampoule for about 3 months. As I posted in the earlier post Yadah brand is well known for using natural products and parabean free, which is very good. 

30ml in bottle packing

Yadah Collagen Ampoule cost around RM65.00 (30ml). Last about 3 months, depends on how much and how often you use. I use it twice daily after toner. You can buy this from yadahskincare.com

Description and ingredients stated on the packing

Included with dropper, the serum is in clear color

The scent of this collagen ampoule is really refreshing and relaxing, I don't know how to describe it but it is really soothing. The consistency of the serum is not too thick nor too thin, just nice and easily absorb by skin. Before using this, I have visible fine lines between my eyebrows and also laugh lines. After using this ampoule, it is still there but less visible and my skin also slightly firmer. Mainly I use this product to prevent skin aging, as they says prevention is better than cure. 

What I like about this product:

• Nice scent
• Natural ingredients
• Fine lines less visible
• Firmer skin
• Not oily, easily absorb by skin
• Prevent skin aging

What I don't like about this product:

• None at the moment

Overall this is a good aging prevention serum, I rate this item 5/5. This is one of my 2013 favorites. 

Yadah Anti Trouble Bubble Cleanser Review

Sponsored Post

Anyeong guys...

I am back, here is a review on Yadah Anti Trouble Cleanser. 

If you don't already know Yadah is a skin care brand from Korea. I am very excited because this is another brand that:

• FREE of artificial coloring
• FREE of mineral oil
• FREE of Parabean
• FREE of animal material

You will see a cute girl character on their branding named Yadah and his alien pet. Basically this brand is specially formulated for teenagers and young adults - no harsh chemical used, their products basically based on natural plants extract - a mixture of organic, natural and ecocert. By the way if you are way over young adults age, you still can use this product as it was mentioned in their website that it is also suitable for all ages and all skin types. 

Their best seller is the bubble cleanser. They have two bubble cleanser, one is for normal skin type and another for trouble skin. Even though I do not have a trouble skin, I opted for this anti trouble bubble cleanser because my skin prone to acne during my period time which is normal for most people, just so to minimize the periodic acne.

Ingredients and direction on the box packing

Rich bubble lather

I have been using this cleanser for one and a half month and it is already almost finish, I think this 150ml can last for approximately 2 months. I really like the light refreshing scent and rich lather, unlike other cleanser that you need to rub and lather up by yourself, you just need to pump the ready lather up cleanser and gently massage on your face. My skin feels squeaky clean after used, but it does not dry my skin, skin feels moist, supple and soft. This is by far the second cleanser that I am satisfied in and very happy with the result. If you ask me about whether this cleanser able to treat pimples or not, I am not very sure as myself do not have trouble skin but I did found that my skin was having less pimple (only one or two acne) during my period, the previous month before using this cleanser the acne was more.

The price for this anti trouble bubble cleanser is RM69.00 (150ml) quite affordable and at a reasonable price.     

What I like about this product:

• Skin feels squeaky clean after used
• Skin feels moist, supple and soft after used
• Affordable 
• Rich lather, no need to lather it up by rubbing your palm on it like other cleanser
• Nice refreshing scent
• Based on natural ingredients, gentle with no harsh chemical, suitable for sensitive skin
• Parabean free, mineral oil free etc.

What I don't like about this product:

• The only complain I have is this cleanser finish quick, by one and a half month I already almost used them up.

Overall, I really like this cleanser and recommend this highly, I rate this item 5 stars - Excellent :). You can buy this products in Sasa outlet or visit this website http://www.yadahskincare.com

This is another 2013 favorite people! :)

I will write more reviews soon, anyeong! :)

Avene Cleanance Gel Review (Soapless Cleanser)

Anyeong~

I am excited to introduce my first ever must have beauty item. This is the cleanser that I used to  use during my teenage year however I stopped due to my limited budget. It is a great cleanser. I recently use this product again and voila I think I won't be changing cleanser again anytime soon, I have tried many but this is the best cleanser ever. If you haven't try this product you are missing out something superb. 

I got mine from Sasa outlet during promotion for RM50.45  (200ml) normal price RM56.05 at Sasa.

This cleanser also known as soap-less cleanser. The brand Avene is from France and their products is well known to specialize in sensitive skin. I think their most famous product would be the face mist which I reviewed before here. 

Clear plastic bottle packing 200ml

Ingredients

To close and open twist to left / right 

What I like about this cleanser:

• Skin feels clean and supple 
• Skin immediately looks brighter and smooth 
• Value for money - great quality

What I don't like about this cleanser:

• Pump dispenser would be more convenient, but I really like this product, I can't complain because what matter is the cleanser does great to my skin  

You must try this product if you haven't. This cleanser is officially my "Holy Grail". 

Officially my must have beauty item

O'slee Clear Spa Sleeping Mask Review

Anyeong ~

This is another review of my favorite item. It's from O'slee range called Clear Spa Sleeping Mask. At first I did not like this mask because the mask stick on my pillow case, but later on I found a way to solve this, keep on reading to find out. I purchased this item from Guardian RM50.90 for 50ml, okay it's exclusively available at Guardian outlet, also available online at sasa and oslee website. 

Description on the packing

Aqua, Rosehip extract, Allantoin, 1,3–Butanediol, Glycerin, Lubrajel LG, Proteasyl, VB5 Vitamin E, C-940 Licorice extract, Humecto Am-20, Triethanolamine, Germall plus, Perfume

I almost finish this mask

The mask is gel like but not runny, it's lightly sticky kind of consistency, oil free and have a scent of rose hip, similar scent like the rest of their products, the color is aqua blue marine like. 

My thoughts:

At first when I use this mask I don't like it, basically you need to apply this mask on your face before bed, the mask actually stick on my pillow and it's a mess and sticky - very uncomfortable. After a while I didn't use it, one day I decided to re-use this but apply it at night time for few hours while watching TV and doing my things, then wash it off. And it really hydrates my skin. I use it that way thereafter. 

What I like about this products:

• Skin feels moisturized, supple and smooth after used.
• Oil free

What I don't like about products:

• I don't like using it as overnight mask because of the stickiness, mess and uncomfortable
• I finish this mask fairly quick because I applied them quite thick on my face, I wish the content were more.

Overall I really like this mask because it really hydrates my skin. I recommend this mask for those who wanted to hydrates their skin. I rate this mask a full 5/5 stars, it's one of my favorite item of the year. 

I award this item my favorite item of the year :)
