Reckoning Girl

Reduces cellulite, well, which woman will not be interested in it (unless you are one of the many lucky girls who does not have cellulite. If you don't, I am jealous!). So, I tried it and I love it. My cellulite on my thighs definitely did reduce, not a lot but they no longer look as patchy.

Also, while I was testing the scrub, I had mild eczema on my left elbow. I scrubbed on it and the affected area feels less itchy and less rough after every use (day and night). By the 3rd day, my eczema was gone.

Best part, my skin was not dry at all even when I used it as a daily soap.

The results were so amazing that the scent does not matter to me.

AROMATHERAPY SLEEPING BEAUTY BODY OIL

I have never really tried a body oil so, when I receive this, I had no clue what to do with it.

Sadly, even after checking them out on their website, I still do not have a clue on how to use it. I only found out that they are the perfect body oil to relax the body by releasing physical and emotional tension.

Aromatherapy Spa: Sleeping Beauty Body Oil: NA

Nevertheless, I randomly place the oil on the sides of my forehead, the back of my neck and other areas where they were sore from exercising or stress. There's a slight tingling sensation to the treated areas and I believe that is because of the peppermint. The scent is minty with a slight trace of herbs. The formula is not concentrated, therefore allowing the skin to absorb it in a jiffy. What I like about it is that after applying it on areas where my body feels sore, my body feels at ease.

NaturaFUN has showered me with lots of other products of theirs, sadly I have not tried all of them but nevertheless, the first 2 that I have tried has already won my heart over.

Be it the face or the body, for centuries, silky-smooth skin is every girl's ultimate goal. A well-hydrated skin is not enough to be classified as a silky-smooth skin due to the hair that runs through the body. In order to achieve praises and jaw-dropping stares, every strand of hair on the face and body must go because body hair signifies masculine rather than feminine.

Though being hair-free on every part of the body is still a debate, there are certain body parts that a girl has to be hairless in order to avoid awkward stares and judgment. Yes, you guessed it right, it is the underarms.

No doubt, there are numerous ways to achieve hair-free body since it has been more than a century-long practice. Where the commonly used and cheap methods are such as shaving, waxing, and cream removal. These methods are just temporary aids that DO NOT make the underarms look any softer or smoother. In fact, the majority of these methods will only make the treated area worst when it is used for long-term. Issues arise, to name a few, would be a rough surface, dry skin, burned marks, black spots, ingrown hair that makes us one-step further from achieving silky-smooth skin. Thankfully, we live in the 21st century, where there's the existence of semi-permanent hair removal that lasts up to 2-5years such as Intensed Pulse Light (IPL).

And because it is the 21st century, IPL isn't the only semi-permanent hair removal that exists in the market. There's SCC and there's Sumuzu Hair Removal (aka KooLite).

In short, Sumuzu is not similar to IPL. The treatment is a lot faster, safer and to top it off, it tightens and whitens the skin and removes body odour.

I got the chance to test them out for 3 sessions and here's the result!

PRE-TRIAL

Aftermath of shaving and countless of waxing

Before the trial, I was informed to shave my underarms and not wax it before coming by which is different from IPL.

FIRST TRIAL

Cooling Gel is applied before treatment begins

On the 1st trial, a consultation will take place to ensure that all customers are not having any sort of skin condition that prevents them from undergoing the treatment. After that, I was brought into the treatment room where they explain the steps and procedures to the treatment. Next, they apply a cooling gel on my underarm and then comes the machine! Shockingly, it hurts. Though it was bearable but the pain was unexpected as I went in with my mindset that I would not feel a single thing. The consultant decreased the intensity and assured me that it is normal to feel a little pain during the first trial due to the melanins on my skin and it should be all better at the next session. In less than 5 minutes, the treatment was over. When I got off the treatment bed and look at the mirror, damn...my underarm was striking a tomato red skin (didn't snapped a picture because I was too darn worried) and honestly, I was really worried that I might be experiencing side effects that they have not encounter but the consultant was really calm about it. She informed me that the redness should go away in an hour of two and if it does not, all I need to do was apply cold towel on it. Thankfully, after a day of discomfort, the redness subside and it was all good.

After the treatment, I only shaved my underarm twice for the whole month and I was good to go. The results were extremely fast as there was less hair growth. Best part, I no longer need to put on a deodorant.

SECOND TRIAL

The procedure is the same except for consultation as it's only needed for the first trial. I was extremely scared of having to go through the same discomfort again. It doesn't hurt as bad as waxing but the discomfort lingers for a long time. Shockingly, it didn't hurt and neither did I experience the same redness that I had on the first trial.


Sumuzu treatment has a few levels of intensity. 6 - strong to 9 - mild depending on the customer's skin sensitivity. They will start with level 7 and only reduces the intensity if the customer is not able to bear with the discomfort and increases it gradually on the next visit as the higher the intensity, the better the results.

After 2nd session

After the 2nd trial, I only shaved once and that was right before the next session.

AFTER THIRD TRIAL

The pain was non-existent and my underarm was as fair as I never thought I could achieve. I was truly delighted by the fact that I no longer need to shave or wax and I generally don't need to use deodorants anymore. It has been two months since my 3rd trial. The hair has become a lot finer.

After 3rd session

I am truly satisfied with the results and I am extremely happy for the fact that I can wear sleeveless clothes throughout the entire month without the need to schedule for my next wax session or shave it while having visible black dots from afar.

VERDICT

This is highly recommended for those who is looking for a fast and least commitment required treatment to achieve a hairless and fair underarm, or any other parts of your body. The number of sessions required is subjective thus, it is advisable to get in touch with them and head in for a consultation before starting the treatment.

PRICE

RM300 (per session) for underarm

RM300 - RM900 (per session) for other parts of the body. Do get in touch with them for the exact pricing or any other promotions.

Within a week, a medium-sized parcel arrived at my doorstep. As I open the brown box, a beautifully designed box with its label, REALASH on it. Within the box, the products were properly wrapped with a dark blue wrapper and ribbon that scream luscious in my mind due to the color while the product box comes in a white and mint-green design.


EYELASH ENHANCER

It comes in a white non-transparent lipgloss-like tube with green mint stripes. The Eyelash Enhancer claims to add length to your natural eyelashes up to 83%, volume by 79% and strengthens the lashes by accelerating the natural growth and preventing them from falling off easily within 30 days. In the time frame of 14 days, the consistent user would be able to see the results of stronger and conditioned lashes. It's innovative formula that is enriched by natural flax and marigold extract is said to be safe with dermatologically and opthalmologically approve. In other words, the product is perfect for delicate and sensitive skin users, like me!


How to use
To apply, use it daily during the evening right after removing the makeup and before cleansing your face. The instruction says to apply the formula like how you would apply an eyeliner. If you are a tight-liner kind of person, don't do it as how you would apply an eyeliner because if the product gets into your eyes, you will get a burning sensation instead, apply it in between the eyelashes roots by sweeping the brush through them. Additional application on the same day would not add the end-results, so one swipe is all you need. For hygiene purposes, do not share.

I love the fact that the brush is thin making it really easy to glide the formula through my top eyelashes. Another thing about it is that upon application, you will definitely experience the wet sensation over the eyelid that will dry up in less than a minute.

Aside from the eyelashes enhancer, REALASH sent in an extra product dedicated for the eyebrows.

BROW CONDITIONER
Similar to its sister product, the brow conditioner is said to result in a fuller, thicker and healthier looking brows though this product isn't as heavily marketed as the eyelash enhancer. The results would be visible after 8 to 12 weeks of daily application.

How to use
This is a lot simpler than the eyelash enhance. All you need to do is glide the formula on a clean and dry eyebrows.

This is my favorite as all I need to do is glide the angled brush along my eyebrows in one sweep and that's it! The wetness of the formula will also go away in less than a minute!

PRICE
Eyelash Enhancer: RM190
Brow Conditioner: RM170

At first, I was skeptical about trying it as there were little to almost no information that I can find about it via online except from the horses mouth itself. I often turn down unknown brands as I do not want to damage my skin or introduce a bad brand to my readers. However, after being part of a entrepreneur program for the past two years due to my job in the video production line, I have seen many creative and innovative ideas from our very own local entrepreneurs in their products that have to offer. To show my support in local made products, I decided to review this product. But fret not, all opinions are purely personal and was not in any way persuaded to write a positive opinion.

3BSKIN WATER SPLASH: HYDRATING JELLY MASK

Now, for the past few weeks, my face was in dire need of hydration as I ran out of moisturizer and was awaiting for my moisturizer from Korea to arrive at my doorstep because purchasing the moisturizer in Malaysia is just way more expensive than me purchasing it online. As Essence was way too mild in hydrating concentration even though I was using a 24 hour Hydrating Essence which I will be sharing with you guys in a later post, my face was really dry to the extend that it was rough and flaky.

PACKAGE APPEARANCE

The packaging is one of the type where would make me ignore it as it is definitely not anywhere near the slick, cool, luxurious or cute type like many product designs available out in shopping malls. Most products that comes in a tub design (often seen in mask and moisturizers) would provide a double cover to prevent the product from spillage. And often times, the inner lid will have a pin-like tab to assist in opening the second cover but 3Bskin Water Splash does not have them which makes opening the second lid a little harder if you have really short nails.

TEXTURE & SCENT
At first look, the texture looks like men's hair gel as it's light blue in color with bubbles trapped within makes it looks really cool. The scent of the product is really mild as I have to take a closer and deeper sniff on it before I get this plastic-like smell. Upon application by dotting the product on my face before spreading, there is this uber cooling sensation and as I spread my face literally feels calm due to the cooling properties and the product glides on my skin easily. The texture literally felt like how sometimes you use water to splash onto the face to cool down a face heat.


VERDICT
Despite the let down on the packaging, I would definitely recommend people to give this product a try and do not let the design negate you away from it! 3Bskin's Water Splash is my new favorite hydrating mask now as the texture is nowhere near sticky and it absorbs into the skin really quick, literally like water. The mask also does shows amazing results as it did make my skin look revitalize, refine and less appearance of wrinkles (tried it on my mom for wrinkle lines) on the next morning. Even though, the product is recommended to oily and blemish prone skin, it still does hydrates my skin well (dry skin due to the lack of moisturizer). Unfortunately, I can't say much for people with oily skin due to my skin type but one thing for sure is that you can try and opt to leave the mask on for only 15-30 minutes and rinse it off and achieve the same results of a healthy and brighter looking skin.


WHERE CAN YOU GET IT
If you are interested to give this product a try, you can make your purchases at their official website or on their FB page. I actually have a promo code just for you! Sadly, it's not generated yet...but once it is out and ready, I will update you peeps IMMEDIATELY! =) So, as for now, be patient and let's wait.

Malaysians being Malaysians, most of us would skip applying sun protection products on a daily basis even though we lived in a country where summer is like an eternity. I can't per say for the Koreans or the Americans and the other countries, but I am darn sure that majority of the Malaysians don't bother patting a single drop of sun protection products onto their skin.

Personally, I am guilty of it as well as I often skip the whole idea of making sunscreen as my daily skincare ritual because:

1. I hated the smell of sunscreen and more so when I perspire as it would eminent the scent stronger.
2. I dislike the fact that it feels sticky and greasy on the skin.
3. It also tend to make the face feels taut which often results in the appearance of pimple (due to pore clogging).

Nevertheless, I still do scout and try on various sunscreen available in the market in hopes of having one that does not cause stickiness, greasy, clogging and awful scent.

The most recent sunblock brand that I've bought, tried and liked was Sunplay's UV Body Mist Sunblock SPF80 PA++ due to its' easy application. However, I do not use it on a daily basis mostly because it contains high level of SPF (higher level of SPF that passes SPF50+ is unnecessary) and the scent has the typical conventional sunscreen smell but worst. Yet, I still like it and was going to grab another can of it because the texture was non-sticky and non-greasy upon application.

Before I could make my next purchase on the Sunplay's UV Body Mist Sunblock SPF80 PA++, Sunplay releases a new sunscreen range calling it the Sunplay Skin Aqua Sarafit UV SPF 50+ in the form of Essence and Mist. The selling point of this product is it's Double Silky Smooth Technology where it claims to provide a silky matte finishing while providing hydration and replenishes moisture to the skin. The Sunplay Skin Aqua Sarafit's gentle and mild formula is designed to be ultra-lightweight, fast absorbing, and sweat resistant. Aside from that, this product also comes with a floral scent.



SUMMARY

I definitely love the fact that the new range of Sunplay's Skin Aqua comes with a floral scent as most conventional sunscreen's smells really bad. I also like the fact that both the Essence and Mist are non-greasy and non-sticky. The ultra-lightweight and fast absorbing formula of the products has definitely scored another few brownie points as it really feels weightless upon application.

If I gotta pick one between these two, I personally favor the Sunplay Skin Aqua Sarafit UV Mist SPF50+ more than the Sunplay Skin Aqua Sarafit UV Essence SPF50+ because of the convenience of application, especially for the hard to reach body parts. In addition, the sunscreen can be applied onto the scalp with the Mist and it's easy to be washed off. Aside from that, the formula is so gentle and mild that it does not clog the pores.

The Sarafit is highly recommended to those who's looking for a sunscreen that is ultra-lightweight, non-sticky, non-greasy, and has a nice scent to it. If you're planning to use it on the face, do bear in mind that the Mist should not be sprayed directly onto the face but rather spray it into your palms and apply it. On the other hand, I would not recommend for those with oily skin to use the Essence onto the face as the mild moisture may cause the face to be a little more oily than usual. However, the Mist does not contribute to the same concern.

Sunplay Skin Aqua Sarafit UV Essence and Mist is available at any leading local pharmacies and supermarket.

PRICE

Sarafit UV Essence is available at RM40.00

Sarafit UV Mist is available at RM42.30

Moisturizing Bomb, was described as a 'comforting' moisturizing cream that provides the skin with intense and soothing hydration. It has also been clinically tested to be able to provide the skin up to 26 hours of moisture thus, this product is highly recommended for users that has a dry skin type.

Classic Essence Increment, aside from the moisturizing bomb, this product has also been clinically tested to provide up to 26 hours of moisture while providing the skin with essential nutrients and vitamins to improve skin conditions that are dry and depleted complexion. Without a doubt, this is definitely suitable for normal to dry skin types.

Anti-Aging Essence, Acai berries are well-known in combating against early signs of skin aging, and with the combination of Calendula, which is a ultra-moisturizing ingredient, to users who's looking for a product that is able to provide abundance of moisture and nutrients that prevents the skin from aging, you should give this product a try.

My Thoughts

Belif's packaging and names are really simple yet eye-catching. I really fancy the Mask range's packaging due to the packaging's color and its names. Though most of the products' packaging looks extremely similar (except for the mask range) and the only way one can tell the difference would be the product's name, yet there's just something about its simplicity that attracts me to the brand by a lot. Also, with the exclusion of using any synthetic fragrances, bare in mind that the products will not contain any fruity or pleasant scent as most of it would have a really strong herb scent. Well, unless you love the scent of herbs, of course. Also, the store's design somehow reminds me of Khiel's and due to the familiar intuitive, I was really tempted to grab one of the products home to try them out.

So, do head on over to their store and be fascinated with the various kinds of products they have because I know I did.
