November Favourites

I don't remember blogging about any monthly favourites or have I?. I'm getting quite forgetful these day.It must be the age, it's catching up.
But there's always a first time for everything..Yes?
Okay,for November favourites.....



1) Sephora's Mango Scented Mosturizing Body Lotion :I'm not exactly a lotion lover,but seriously after using the lotion, I'm a beliver..Hallelujah!! I bought the scent mango because I love  Mango. Extremely moisturizing after a bath. It's half empty by the way..Will I repurchase???Why of course (After I finish others 1st..:})

2) Gorgeous (Mist) by Victoria's Secret : I carry this everywhere. Love the clean fresh sweet scent and it's not overpowering aswell.The next time,I'll purchase the perfume instead.

3) So Argan by Bisoubonbon : I've use this on my lil one's head (dry skin) and Tadah no more dry skin. This is my 2nd bottle and it's for myself. There are days when I do not use conditioner, I'll apply two drops on me palm, rub it and apply.My hair feels super smooth. Quite a bestseller I must say (I bought 2 just incase it runs out again)...

Oh you can buy handmade soaps n other handmade items.I'm a sucker for handmade items.If you're in Publika, visit Kaleidoscope to get your Bisou products.

4) Murad Hydrating Toner : I got this from a beautybox.It's refreshing and it doesn't give that burning sensation.One spray and it gets the job done.Simply fab

5) PhytoVolume Shampoo ( For fine hair) : I got this sample from The Lilac Box and I must say this brand rox. My hair feels smoother and less hairfall. I know some brands out there promise you fuller hair,so far Phyto works. I'm currently using The Bodyshop shampoo. Yes! less hairfall but after washing, I can feel the dryness.Your hair is suppose to be your crowning glory,so I don't mind spending a little for something good. My husband uses Phyto dry and frizzy balm and he loves it.

Ha, done with my November fav's...Let's see what's installed for December...

Till then..Cheerios

OMG It's The Lilac Box

Somone is going to flip this Christmas (Hopefully)
One box for me and another for.................. (I've yet to decide).
The Lilac Box is just Amazing....
How Amazing?...



 Gone a great deal to stamp the ribbon with wax. Simple black box.Totally reusable.

 I couldn't be botherd reading the note. I just want to see the items.Love the black shiny tissue.Very Chic and Elegant.

OMG!!!!GooeDis..Goodies...GOODIES


I was thrilled to see such marvelous goodies.The only item which I won't be using is the Aveda HairSpray. I do not use Sprays,Gels,Mousse,Clay e.t.c. basically styling products. I don't want to end up looking like


1) Calvin Klein's Down Town Shower Gel : Very sophisticated feminine scent. No Perfume Vial? Awwwww was hoping for a sample...

2)  Guerlain's Abeille Royale Youth Serum : Another new elixir of youth? Ensuring your skin doesn't look like a wrinkled up prune.


 3) Aveda's Control Force Firm Hold Hair Spray : I am not a fan of hair styling products, so I will give it to me mum.

4) Aveda's Damage Remedy Intensive Restructuring Treatment & Daily Hair Repair : I have the same sample sized one which I apply daily. Although I don't have damaged hair, i'll still apply for prevention.

5) acedemie's Micellar Cleansing Water : Never heard of it.

6) Laura Mercier's Foundation Primer & Tinted Moisturiser : It's high time I learn step by step on how to Apply Makeup. I've never put ICI on my face before,but it's nice to learn NO?

7) Alqvimia's Body Sculptor, Anti-Cellulite Body Oil & Reductor : I want to have a hot body like theirs....Uhuh


and not......but really, does it actually work?


I love November's box. Although there are products I might not use,but I'm willing to give it a try (Cept the hairspray).
I rate the box 9/10.

Clair Organics - Review

Never heard of Clair Organics? neither have I. I came to know of this brand through MIVVA, a beauty box which I subscribe Annually.


 I've yet to use the soaps as I've some old products to clear.I love the natural scent (Snifffff).
I'm a sucker for handmade items. There's just something about handmade items which makes me go weak in the knees.It's all the effort,the hardwork,the passion and of course the LOVE which makes Handmade items Unique.

Clair Organics is founded by Louise Chu, a mother,an artisan who started out making skincare products using breast milk for her baby girl named 'Norra Claire", hence the name Claire Organics is born.

I bought my 1st Clair Organics products at Markets@JayaOne.


1) Calendula Soap (Anti Eczema,Baby Care) : This soap caught my eyes.I knew there were others but what drew me to purchase the soap were the key pointers "Anti Eczema and Baby Care. My lil Boo has dry skin on his scalp creating this massive snowstorm each time I dry his hair.Seriously who likes snowflakes falling from their head.


Scent : It is not heavily scented like commercial soaps. Smells like Cussons Imperial Leather.
Texture : Hard just like any other regular soap. It lathers well.Texture changes when you use the soap with water. It's much more softer with all the essential oils.Very moisturising.You can definetly tell the difference.Commercial Soaps can be harsh and drying.
Verdict : After using this soap I notice the dry skin on my Lil Boo's head begin to slowly disappear.Constant baths in the evenings (He loves his bathtime) the flakes soon vanished.Now he's flake free and his hair smells really good. This is his everyday bath soap .It's not only for his head,but also for his body (specially areas prone to rash like under the neck and works pretty well on the bum).Make sure to place soap on a dry surface for longer lasting usage.
Will I repurchase? : Definitely. This soap is Amazing.
Price: RM 15.00


2) BUG OFF : (Keeping bugs from little ones. Reduce itchiness and soothe insect bites)
I wanted to buy a baby friendly mozzy repelent since Grandma takes Lil Boo for her evening walks. I know Mosi-Guard is popular,but I'm afraid Lil Boo might get an allergy. I wanted a baby/kid friendly repellent,hence I bought BUG OFF
 Scent : The whiff of Sesame Oil and Lemongrass,two strong scents which caught my sense of smell.I love the smell of Lemongrass and the Sesame Oil makes me want to lick the balm.
Yep! according to mummy,sesame oil repels mozzies.   
Texture :  I was hoping for a softer texture but it's pretty hard. I had to run my fingers a couple of times to apply.
Verdict : I've seen mozzies trying to get close to Lil Boo,but they seem to fly off once they get close.So far so good,but If  the mozzies want to get aggressive, I'm sure they'll bite.Anyways, you can even use the balm as a soother for insects bites...Urgh insects,nasty nasty!!!
Will I repurchase? : If the texture was easier to apply why not:}
Price : RM 15.00

Tealight Candle : Free

Winning the Lucky Draw (For purchasing the goodies above)

 OMG,you don't know how thrilled I was.

 Package

The Prize
A Lip Balm 
+
Herbal Balm (Of your choice)

I Picked........


1) Happy Bum : (The Happy Bum Baby Balm is a great 2-in-1 for preventing and soothing nappy rash,healing sore bottoms)
I wanted to buy The Healing Balm for my Lil Boo's nappy rash, but they were all sold out at Markets. Since it says Healing Balm,automatically thought it will do the trick. Thank goodness I consulted Louise before I picked the balm.She recommended me Happy Bum for babies as The Healing Balm may not be suitable for babies.Thanks So Much:}.
 Scent : Its got a lovely Tea Tree scent.
Texture : Very easy to apply. The texture is soft so it's easy to swatch and apply.
Verdict : It works,It works. I use this only during the day (Poops and pee's the most)
 Problem with certain Nappy rash creams is the thick white mixture which kinda reminds me of Gypsum plaster. This cream works wonders.Lil Boo's bum is not red and blistery anymore.
I've got Pureen Nappy Cream to finish,but to be used only at nights.
Will I repurchase? : I've found awesomeness in a lil container:}.
Price : RM 15.00


2) SHEA BUTTER (Lip Balm with Organic Raw Honey)
Scent : Whiff of Menthol?
Texture : Soft.Easy to apply.
Verdict : The sides of my lips crack at times.I could be suffering from Angular Cheiltis
( inflammation of one or both the corners of the mouth) if not plain old chapped lips. So far nothing works. I've tried Nivea,Banana Boat,Neutrogena,even I can't remember.They don't do justice. Few hours or so it dries up and I have to reapply. I don't mind paying more for a good chap stick,but if it does no justice what am I suppose to do with it...
 Anyways, my mother In Law travels to and fro to UK. The only thing I ask her to buy for me is chap sticks or balms for my lips.Currently, I'm using Vaseline Lip Therapy with Rose and Almond Oil.So far, the ones bought overseas works better then the ones sold at our drugstore....Then along came....
Clair's Organics Shea Butter Lip Balm (Lucky Draw).I thought I'll give it a try.I applied before going to bed and the next morning I can still feel the waxy-ness on my lips (Some dry up in Air Conditioned rooms).A Lip Balm which can leave my lips feeling moisturize gets a thumbs up.
Will I Repurchase? : Yes
RM : 12.00

I can't wait for her Christmas Soaps (Lovely Presents). 15% of their sales will be donated to help less fortunate kids. Now don't you want to be charitable during Xmas Time?.Sharing is Caring People...
Do check her websites out.Plenty of Handmade Goodies to Purchase..Ole Ye Natural...

I've enjoyed every surprise Bag Of Love has to offer.Their bags are just too cute....\
Verdict : 8/10

WonderBox October's Edition...
  Due to some issues back in September (No September Box), the team at Wonderbox decided to throw in a full item for October's box.Hmm why can't they just carry forward next year.
 



1) Neutrogena : Full Sized Item : I think this is the full size item which they promise.Hmm Just One???

2) Bio-Essence - Nourishing Foamy Cleanser with ATP & Royal Jelly
                         - Radiant Youth Essence with ATP & Royal Jelly
                         - Face Lifting Cream with ATP & Royal Jelly
I like Bio Essence products. It's actually very affordable and relatively good.

3) RA8 Renewal Skin ( Beauty Secrets from the Sea): The packaging looks rather dingy.If I'm not mistaken, it's local...(hence the dingy packaging)...

4) bloop Amazing Nail Strips : Finally,I know how to use these nail strips..Yeah!!

Am I amazed at October's wonderbox?...I'll give it a 6/10 just because it has Neutrogena and Bio-Essence..
