Today, i will be revealing one of my beauty secrets. As obvios and as simple as written as my title OATS.
Some of you may have heard the benefit of Oats and how it changes you with the benefit it brings to you. Some may still be on the edge whether or not to give it a go, some may think “ewwww. that’s food! gross!”
I am proud to say, i love oats has changed me alot, given me benefits as well as gotten me hooked on to it till this very day.

Everyday we wake up to a marvellous day to something new. The first thing i’ll do is to cleanse my face with oats. YES! Oats is a life-saver cleanser, whether or not you are oily, dry combination, acne prone skin, oats is the cleanser for you. Now you might be thinking HOW is it possible that one ingredient can do so many things and save so many things, then why are they so many other cleansers and skincare routine out there? (trust me. i’ve thought of it too). Well, If you were to extract or put oats as an “ingredient” into your cleanser or if companies would have put oats in their product, the purpose wouldn’t be the same already because they would have used chemicals and other preservance which would have spoilt what is needed.

Oats is best used by ITSELF. (with warm water). And logically thinking if a beauty company were to just get a pretty packaging jar and sell oats, what’s the purpose right?? We must well go buy Oats from the supermarket right? Well, that’s what i’ve been doing now. The oats i’m talking about isn’t some specific brand or form some high end makeup counter, it’s from the supermarket, the oats your mom feeds you when you were a baby (i use to hate it. I will pour my bowl into my sister’s and my brothers before they come down OR when my parents turn around. LOL)

So today, my beauty secret isn’t about how oats can change your healh and diet, BUT how oats can change your skin as well. From the inside oats are excellent source of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, thiamine, iron, beta-glucan (which may help regulate blood sugar) and the antioxidants known as avenanthramides (which may help promote healthy circulation). Oatmeal is also believed to help reduce harmful cholesterol levels and it may boost the immune system.
Breaking down of the ingrediants of Oats.
Polysaccharides
Oatmeal contains polysaccharides, a type of complex carbohydrate. When polysaccharides mix with water, a gel forms. This gel softens and nourishes the skin. It also protects skin from drying out even after you’ve washed the oatmeal away.

 

Adding Moisture

 

Oatmeal contains healthy fats. When they come into contact with your skin, these fats help to add moisture to soften and repair your skin.

 

Natural Barrier

 

Your skin is your body’s first line of defense against pollutants. Oatmeal helps to strengthen your skin’s defenses so it can do a better job.

 

 

Gentle Cleansing

 

The saponins in oats help to remove dirt from your pores. This effect, combined with oatmeal’s moisture-adding properties, gives your skin that soft glow after an oatmeal cleanse.

 

 

Inside Out

 

Oatmeal isn’t just good for your skin as a topical treatment. It also helps promote healthy skin as part of your diet. The fiber in oatmeal helps to control the release of insulin and the uptake of glucose, and good insulin regulation helps keep your skin taut and healthy.
All you need is this

Ingredients:

– Oats (quick oats or instant oats)

– Warm Water

Directions For Face Cleansing

– Put a handful of oatmeal in a bowl and add warm water to make a paste

– Apple it to your face avoiding eye area and gently scrub (you will feel amazing and how smooth your skin will be)

– Wash it off with warm water then splash some cold water

– Dry your face and your skin will feel softer, cleaner and amazing.
Directions for Body Bath

– Put three handsful of oats into a meshbag

– Run warm water and fill up your bath tub

– Drop the meshbag of oats into the tub and let it soak in for five minutes

– Enjoy your bath, use the mshbag to scurb your body.

– After your bath, you don’t need soap, just rinse your body with clean water and dry off.
Directions for Pore Mask

– First, grind it up in a blender. Make sure it is ground up finely.

– Add hot/warm water and stir until it thickens into a paste then let it sit for a while.

– Apply it to your face all over or the trouble spots and large pores.

– Let it dry completely and rinse off with warm water.
If you are using a standing shower, you can use the meshbag as a body scrub. Take caution that if you have a bad drainage it would not be adviseable to let the oats clog up your drainage.
Next time i will be talking about the different type of oats.

Chanel has launched a whole new product recently in Australia and its the Le Rouge Crayon De Couveur. 

It comes in 11 new shades and it is a twist up lipstick in a chubby stick form. Good thing about this? No need sharpening and making a mess or losing thay damn sharpener and not knowing where you have placed it. Or worst? If you’ve gotta pay extra for it.

 

What do they say??

I’ve always loved Chanels lipstick, they’re plots are pigmented and lovely shades. The downside to it is that they aren’t as long-lasting as other brands, so that means you might end up with patchy, smeared or bare lips. The good side about it is, it doesn’t stain and there isn’t any permanent pigments that would go deep down into your lips.

Description of the product

LE ROUGE CRAYON DE COULEUR by CHANEL simplifies makeup rules. Its easy-to-carry, jumbo on-the-go format allows you to have fun and apply colour in a single stroke at any time. Its retractable tip twists easily to reveal bright, satiny and ultra-intense colours. A long-lasting, comfortable formula that lasts for over 4 hrs* after the first application. May the art of colour become a playing field.

How to use

• Twist to reveal the retractable tip and apply colour in a single stroke.
• Use the tip of the pencil to trace the lip contour, then colour in the lips with the flat part.
• For more ways to play, use LE ROUGE CRAYON DE COULEUR on the cheeks as blush. 

Most Crayon lippies or chubby sticks that we know usually has a matte finish, it glides on easily and stays on forever. But as for Chanels Crayon lippies, they last for about 4 hours and it’s touch up time.

As a lippie junkie I would definitely get my hands on all colors cause they’re amazing!!

Have you tried them? Which would be your favourite color?

Carol Oh Carol.. Someone who is my sister, my best friend, my pillar and my support. Someone who knows me in and out. What I liked and disliked. And i believe everyone here would agree with me that she is the best person you will ever meet, even though at times she has a face that can just scare you to death, she has that funny side of her that is beyond control.

Carol is not just only any sister. She’s the best I would say. She would do anything for me, her one and only little sister. Even though she hates it, she would still tolerate and take it in for me. And mostly protect me.

And then there’s Ben. I don’t even know where to start with him. But one thing I can say now is that I’m got a one heck of a handsome brother in law to show off. 😂

The first day I met Ben, we clicked, we laughed and throughout the days, months and year. We became so much closer that the day Ben told me he was going to propose to Carol, I was in tears.

Ben, you have been there for me, even before being officially my brother in law. You were there when I was down, you became my support, you were someone who listened to me and help me to be a better me. And thank you for loving my sister and thank you for letting me be part of your family as well.

So to Ben and Carol, no matter where am I, I will always be your tua liap.

Face mask is something that I use once every two days. That is almost 3-4 times per week. It’s just a quick and easy way to re-hydrate and rejuvenate my skin the quick, easy and efficient way. This would also mean that I’ve gone through a whole lot of different brands of face mask and there’s bound to have good and bad ones.

Recently, I’ve been loving a brand called Dr. Morita.

My all time favourite would be the Hyaluronic Acid Essence Mask (The Blue One). This goes into my #monthlyFavourites as well as #HolyGrail

Dr Morita also has a starter pack that comes with

• Narcissus Whitening Essence Ultra Slim Facial Mask
• Hyaluronic Acid Moisture Essence Mask
• Collagen Repair Essence Mask.

1. Cotton sheets are too dry/Face Mask dries up and stiffens after 15 minutes.
2. Face Mask are either too dry or too “drenched” and ends up either NOTHING being absorbed onto the skin or essenve/water dripping everywhere
3. Face mask sliding down my face or not fitting well.

but with Dr. Morita face mask, not only it’s drenched with the right amount, it doesn’t leave essence dripping down my chin or face. The face mask is quite a good size fitting without it sliding down my face as well. Not only that, after 15-20 minutes, it’s not dry and I can still easily remove and put it on my neck/hands and leg for a hand-me-down mini pampering mask session.

Right before this, I’ve been having de-hydrated dry sensitive with rosecea flaring up which can be quite annoying. Moisturisers, Face Oils and Serums were not enough to re-hydrate my skin.

Kononnya, It’s the number 1 Best Selling Facial Sheet mask in Hong Kong & Taiwan. And as of right now, there are 13 series of facial sheet mask & 2 watery cream (sleeping mask) in Malaysia & it’s exclusively in Guardian nationwide.

If your’e looking for face mask, need a quick fix or you’re travelling. Or even just going to Guardian, Grab yourself a box and try it out! They are available in Guardian Malaysia Nationwide (only exclusive in Guardian).

Dr Morita’s face sheet mask are only RM22.90 for a box and the Dr Morita Watery Cream is RM39.90.

Let me know if you’ve tried them and how it has changed your skin!

Most of us who suffers from dandruff, be it oily or dry scalp always would need to be in a dilemma to pick between a dandruff shampoo or a shampoo that repairs your hair. Many of the dandruff shampoo out there such as selsun blue, head&shoulders, or clear or any other, contains ingredients such as selenium sulfide, salicylic acid, coal tar, zinc or anti-fungal agents which are high in chemicals. They are even products that contains menthol for anti-itch leaving you with a nice cool feeling. But all these are temporary relief that doesn’t fix your problem.

Many people including me suffer from the itch and the unglam white flakes be it oily scalp or dry scalp. It can be embarrassing! Imagine going out on a first date and the guy sees you with dandruff. How unattractive that can be! #pointsminus for you. LOL

So when Phyto approach me which their new range of anti-dandruff shampoo, I was a little skeptical at first thinking “Real or not want!”

BUT! I decided to give it a try because they claimed to use botanical essence, being paraben-free, fragrance-free and all that.

SO? Let’s see…

* * *

Phytosquam – A unique formula that no longer requires to choose between anti-dandruff effectiveness and beautiful hair. This is a range which removes dandruff while providing beauty and vitality to the hair.

Anyone who knows me would know how much I love watches. Downside about it is that, sometimes, I really love a particular design, but feel that it’s not worth to buy it because of the mechanics/how it’s made and the whole package. ANOTHER reason why, it’s too common. You’re bound to bump into a friend or even a stranger with the same watch. Well, I don’t mind if it’s a good watch, that means someone knows the quality and have the same liking as me. Nothing wrong with that.

But what if, you had a ONE-OF-A-KIND watch? Everybody loves limited edition – a unique, one in a million kind.

I stumbled upon instagram on a brand called EONIQ – a start up fashion brand started by three friends in Hong Kong led by Quinn Lai.

I knew immediately, this was the perfect gift.

It was pretty easy to work on.

You can create your watch on your laptop/desktop, tablet or even your mobile phone. BUT of course if you want to upload a file for engraving, best to do it on laptop/desktop.

When I first saw this, I was a little skeptical tbh. I know everyone would.

When it finally arrived, I couldn’t be any happier. I was really satisfied with the finishing, how it turned out to me, the rose gold rims and the brown leather strap.
