Skin79 Oriental Gold BB Cream PLUS Review



SO! i've tried the sample of Skin79 Oriental Gold Plus BBcream already. Sorry for being so quiet btw. I was gonna review this one last Sunday when i was going out to my friend's engagement. BUT i used it too much, it went pale on me. So, i had to wash it off and put on my other BB Cream instead because i was such in a rush. anyway, i put the BB cream inside this little container.


i think you can use this up for like 5 times, or more. or less.


swatches


btw, both picture supposed to say "ORIENTAL GOLD PLUS". not "ORIENTAL GOLD". its two different things :)


here is my before and after picture



my before picture : i have many scars from acne and cat scratches =.= no edits
my after picture : just a natural finish. 

OVERALL
  • the color is lighter than VIP Gold. 
  • it is thicker than VIP Gold
  • a little REALLY goes a long way for this one. the first time i used it, i put on the same amount as i usually would with my other BB creams. but, it turned out really pale on me(grey cast). so yeah, remember to start off with little amount first. 
  • natural finish
  • doesnt really conceal my imperfections that well
  • perfect for those who have flawless skin to begin with
i wonder if the Oriental Gold(purple) is the same as this one. i was going to buy it, but if it works like the plus one.. i'd skip it :/ i am pretty happy with my BRTC, but i feel like i need a new BB cream. i'd probably compare this again with the Oriental Gold once i got it ^^ oh yeah... i'd probably be on hiatus for 2 weeks. because my parents will be going off and they'll be bringing the camera. so yeah, i dont really want to do a post without pictures. :)

before i go, here's a contest that Skin79 Brunei is holding. you people might be interested in it :3


8 more days! :)

IPool & Vivigo Contact Lens Washer *Compare*

hey just a quick short review about these contact lens washers. i did reviewed this before on my previous blog, but since i deleted it, i'm gonna review this again to my new readers :)) 

do you own a lot of contact lenses?
do you know how to properly clean your contact lenses?
or are you just one of those people who are just... plain lazy? :p 
if you answered yes to one or all of these questions, then i highly recommend you to get yourself an automatic contact lens washer!! :3

honestly, i DO own a lot of contacts. i DONT know how to properly clean my contact lenses. and I AM LAZY :P i've owned more than 5 contacts now and i think 3 of them expired already lol. i used to have this craze over contact lenses. but not so much now. nothing really happened btw. ANYWAY, i never know how to properly clean contact lenses. i checked my solution's booklet instructions but it never really helped me? cause i dont know how to 'RUB' the lenses. so i was always unsure if my contacts are really clean or not after i did as the instruction said. then, as i went shopping on Q4GEO, i spotted iPool Contact Lenses Auto Cleaner. (btw, i dont think they provide this anymore)



so cute! this costs me around B$29, i think. yes, it was rather expensive T.T anyway, i started using this and it really made a difference. all i have to do is pour my solution into the lens case given and put in my lens there and just press the orange button. thats it! it will vibrate and you stop it after 3-5mins. when i use my lens, my eyes felt really refreshed. i just know that the cleaner really cleaned my lens! 


you were only given one casing for this cleaner. BUT i just found out that the animal casing can fit in too! you just have to force it in :p dont worry, it wont break. if you have animal casings, then this will be beneficial for you.

Look What I Got!

i ordered BRTC Blemish Serum on Sunday from Rizqussalam. I banked in my money and paid for $5 Fedex for delivery method. Since it was an instock item, i got my stuff earlier than usual ;D my sis ordered 2 5gm of the famous Egyptian Magic Cream. The seller actually sent out my items to Fedex on Monday and i should be getting it on the later afternoon. but due to floods here in Tutong, my package arrived late than it should be :( it came in the mail just yesterday, Wednesday afternoon. boo you Fedex =.= haha. i should just use the normal post. anyway, i was suprised when i opened my package! :P so pretty the box! i felt like im getting my christmas present :p lol. 



see how pretty it is?! haha. but this is not what she usually send in the items with(gift box). normally just a regular looking box, but she said she ran out of box, thats why she used this one. she even apologized for it. lol. dont be sorry! its so prettyyy!!! :D so here it is:


2 jar of Egyptian Magic Cream 5g. it is really small :O and its $8 each! so this two little babies costs my sister $16 total. haha. i think the price is quite expensive for this little thing. so small o.o the 20g will cost you $28 and 118ml full size will cost you $60! i think its a rather money-wasting if you buy the 5g one. seriously, so small! i'd rather option out for another product. but if you have big pockets and doesnt mind this ridiculous price, then go ahead ;D but then again, this cream received a lot of good responses worldwide. thats why its rather expensive. and it is used for many things too! lets just hope it'll work well on my sister :P



i bought BRTC Blemish Serum 30ml for $30. actually, it costs $33, but i didnt realised that i banked in $30 o.o i realised only when the package came and read the resit. but funny thing, the seller didnt even tell me that i didnt paid full :( but yeah no worries, i will for sure buy from her again and add in the remaining money ^^  i've been meaning to try this one for a really long time! i've been having a lot of breakouts lately :( blame PMS. haha. but yeah, i did tried it lastnight. nothing really changes, but we'll see :) i'll give it a week or two!

not only that, the seller gave me free samples too! :D


Dr Jart Black Mini BB cream in 5g AND samples of the SKIN79 Oriental Collection Gold!





so pretty T.T i got samples of Skin79's The Oriental BB Cream Plus and The Oriental Shining Pearl BB Cream Plus!! THANK YOU! this definitely made my day even better, cause before that, i got myself a guitar!!!!!! :D :D :D

also, i got myself this condenser mic from The Mall Gadong's expo thingy for B$20. this is the only condenser mic i've ever seen here in Brunei. if you guys know any more, please let me know!!! :) i want a reallly goooood one.


TADAAAA~ my first acoustic guitar! bought it at the Tungku one. they're having a huge sale there on the guitars!! my budget was B$300 and good thing that i went there when they were having their sales! I was actually aiming for a guitar like this....


cool right? T.T i was aiming for a color like this one!!! but at their stores, there's only one color of acoustic guitar like this available :( and it sucks :( arghh. BUT there's a lot of classical guitar with colors like thise there!! omggggg. so pretty :'( but its B$360+ from B$490+ if im not mistaken :'( omg. i was actually trying to negotiate the price to B$300 haha! but i know they wouldnt :( i cant stop thinking about it! the perfect guitar! the perfect size and all. but too bad its classical. i want the acoustic one. people said can change strings, but i read up that its not recommended. hmmm. 

anyway, i got myself this one instead. its Eko brand, pretty much most of the guitars there are Eko brand. hey, i cant afford Ibanez one okay :( actually, this is the only choice i have. i want a light color one. and this is the only one available under B$300. others are B$500+ wtf =.= anyway, since they're having sales, i got mine for B$230. normal price is B$290. 




no i dont know how to play it yet hehe. but i am learning! :D oh yeah, i realised that this one is too big for my size :( :( :( its kind of funny when i hold it. its like the guitar is bigger than me ;( i forgot to check the size when i shopped there!! :( ughh. but yeah, i am thankful and i finally got a guitar ;D if i mastered it, i'll get my DREAM GUITAR!!!!! >:)

as you may noticed, i skipped editing the pictures this time. im so lazy :( usually i'd just contrast and watermark my pictures here, but for today, i skipped. been busy lately since its the holidays! SO MANY THINGS TO DO, SO LITTLE TIME!

and omg, i almost forgot! i claimed my B$100 voucher already from Skin79! THANK YOU :3

SkinFood Rice Mask Wash Off Review


so i tried Face Q Grape Seed mask last week. there's really not much to say actually :/ when i removed the mask from the package, it kind of smells like superglue? but no worries, the smell is gone when i put it on. it fits well, except the nose part :p Beauty Diary's Lily Mask fits more well. my face refreshed and glowed after application (: i like the Lily Mask more though. now there's two mask to go! i'll try the other faceQ tomorrow! :) but i dont think i'll be saying much. there's really nothing to say :s


see how the nose part doesnt fit well? :p

SKINFOOD RICE MASK WASH OFF



i bought this long time ago. cant remember how much it cost. im sure not more than B$25. actually, there's not really that much good reviews online. i thought i'd give it a try, maybe it'll work on me. but no i was wrong :( i got breakouts whenever i use this, even the first time. i gave it a secondchance though, but still... breakouts! :s i dont know why, but this really doesnt work on me. even the brightening effect was useless T.T i had high expectation on this. oh well~ 

have any of you tried this? does this work on you? :) if you have, please comment! 

this doesnt mean i hate SkinFood! :D here's what im deciding to get :


SkinFood Omija Whitening Teabag Toner!
This brightening toner contains Omija extracts and skin-lightening ingredients. Freshly brewed by using a biodegradable tea bag for infusion.

SKIN79 Brunei Contest WINNERS!

I've been a fan of Skin79 for such a long time already. Been using their products for more than a year already! When they opened up a branch here, its a DREAM COME TRUE. I was actually in disbelief! I found out through facebook though! saw their advert there x) dont worry Skin79, you're doing good here in Brunei xP us people LOVE your products<3


It was not long time ago when Skin79 introduced the "BLOG ABOUT SKIN79 BRUNEI" contest. Many had joined the contest and as you all know, i am one of them xp i was really excited to join, it took me many hours to finish up my post. i was being as honest as possible! :)
 if you havent read my post entry, just CLICK HERE.

I went to school yesterday. LAST DAY OF SCHOOL x) mum and dad picked me up around 12noon and we had our lunch at Escapade. We dine with Pusat Ehsan's staff. I think we finished eating around 2pm. We, then went to Akira's. then to this car workshop thingy. it was suchhhhh a long day and a hot day too!! :( i didnt even wear any SPF that time. anywayyy, basically i had a rough day, esp at school! i wasnt promoted T.T huhuuuu. embarassing :( hhmmm. sorry mum and dad, i'll make you proud someday! (: 

went home around 3 or 4pm. then not later than that, Skin79 Brunei announced that the contest had ended. i was hyped because they were going to announce the winner! i actually waited, lol. but since i was sooo tired, i fell asleeeep =.= but it was just a short nap :p 


when i woke up, i logged in my facebook and Skin79 Brunei had already announced the THIRD WINNER


congrats for winning the third place!!!! :D she's really pretty and she has a really fair skin too! o.o i want fair skin lol. great post!!! :) her post won her B$50 cash voucher!!! 

my heart went knock-knock, waiting for their next announcement! 


I WON SECOND PLACE!! :) heheeheheh. i was so happy, i ran up to my little brother and told him i won second place. eventhough he doesnt really care xp i emailed skin79 right away to claim my blog. i won a gift voucher worth B$100! :D so, thank you Skin79 for this! you have no idea how much this means to me 0=) 

so guess who won the first place? 


not suprisingly, ORCHID ROW! i knew she was going to win this, i cant compete with her xp her post is really good and very detailed! and she has a cool siteeee! :D she won B$200 cash voucher. how awesome is thatttt?? so yeah, congratulations!! :D 

Orchid Row actually suggested us three to go to Skin79 together. but i was already planning to go there on the 5th Dec :( if you girls can go there on the 5th, then that'd be great xp but its okay if you girls decided to come on an earlier/later date. cause i'll be meeting my friends on the 5th and its easier for me to drop by there and since im barely an adult, i cant really go out that often :( i can, but... i live in Tutong, so yeah, if only i have my driving license x( i'd be great though if we come together!! xD 

check out the other blog entry!!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE! AND HAPPY DECEMBER! :) ENJOY YOUR LAST MONTH IN 2010!
