After an insomnia night, I always find my dark circle extend to my chin. lol I believe some people suffer this as well. For some other cases, they are real dark circle, which can be recovered after few weeks of proper rest; on the other hand, there are people who have dark circle no matter how well they sleep, how long rest they take, how many bottles of eye essence they put on their undereye, their dark circle still there! And I'm one of them. I always sleep about 7-8 hours every day, and put on eye gel or eye cream for these 4 years. In return, I still couldn't get my dark circle lighten. 

WHY?

As you can see, there are 2 hollow located under my eyes and upper my cheeks. I didn't expect aging would hit me before my quarter life. No matter how much concealer I cover it with, the hollows are still there. And only 1 thing can save me - dermal filler. 

As you can tell, my dark eye circles lighten in a bit from left to right. (All are non-edit and colours varied because of lighting.) Doctor advised me not to put too much of filler as it will go unnatural and it's not necessary. However, I was quite satisfied with the outcome. Ok, I know you are curious about the process.

Injection. Many of you maybe afraid. But trust me, it is not as scary as you think. Firstly, doctor will open a mini hole (sound creepy but it doesn't) at my lower cheek to ensure the fluid can reach my under eyes and fill in the hollows. During the process, I felt there was something running under my skin layer, pain can only be felt before the filler being injected into my skin which was when doctor wanted to create a mini hole. I was told that this is an updated method as it would not encourage bruise around the wound (hole). And you can tell from my picture, you can't see where my wound exactly is right? The process is calm and you just have to trust the doctor. =)

Touch: On day 2, I touched it gently using finger, it was a little hard thingy laid under my skin. 

After Care: I was told not to avoid facial for 2 weeks. And I just gently touch that area when I am washing my face. Oh ya! The filler takes several days to settle down. So make sure to sleep at flay lay position the whole night for minimum 1 week.

Fyi, injectable filler is a soft tissue filler injected into the skin to help fill in facial wrinkles and restores a smoother appearance. Most of these wrinkle fillers are temporary because they will eventually be absorbed by the body. As we age, our skin loses hyaluronic acid and proteins as well as subcutaneous tissue decreases which results losing facial volume. Day by day, the filler made up of tissue and hyaluronic acid will be gone.

Minimum 9 months. Up to 2 years. Result varies from each individual. It cost RM 1,900 per syringe. I can say this price is pretty reasonable, as I've been researched over the price, other clinic may charge you at RM2,500 per syringe!

Let's talk about my second problem. Yes, it's freckle. Freckle is a small patch of light brown colour on the skin, people who have dry skin are most likely to have freckle. It will become more pronounced through exposure to the sun. I have only few freckles, but some of them become bigger and pigmented as time flied, and make it harder to be covered by 1 layer of concealer. 

I like the clinic setting very much! Everything is so minimalistic and the beauticians are so friendly which made me feel cozy while waiting there. They offer a lot of treatments for skin problems. Do check them out!

1. Ensure jar is closed properly with the inner lid.

2. Due to the O2 bubble formulation, it is natural to expect some "cheese holes" appear in the product.

3. It is important to use the included spatula to avoid any foreign substance added to the product which may affect its quality.

4. Don't use your fingers to scoop the mask out of the jar as that could cause it to bubble up.

This mask is different from the traditional mask. For your information, a bio-cellulose mask is obtained by natural fermentation of coconut jelly. It has high adherence to skin to ease the job of providing a pleasant cooling effect. Proven results stated after 2 hours of single use, skin hydration level increased by 15.6% while after 4 hours of single use, skin hydration level increased by 16.1%. The more you use, the better the result.

*Results based on an independent clinical study, individual may vary

By comparing to traditional mask, nano bio-cellulose mask is much thicker and gives more adherence to the skin. Using a traditional mask may makes your face a little saggy if you are not lying down at the time you are using a mask. I've tested it out and I finally found a mask which can be applied while doing my daily cores. 

This is the theory behind why I said your face will become saggy if you did not lie down properly and let the traditional mask resting on your face at its suitable position. The H2O, water evaporated faster from a traditional mask as the mask sheet did not lock the H2O tight to the skin. So, your mask dries sooner after 10 minutes. On the contrary, nano bio-cellulose mask locks in plenty of H2O to your skin because of the bio-cellulose fiber is smaller than your skin granule.

Sooth your skin by allowing the power of flowers to bless your skin with a calming touch. Concocted from organic immortelle flower extract endowed with wonderful restorative properties, this soothing mask effectively helps in repairing and rejuvenating your skin.

Your devices need a reboot frequently, same for your skin. Refresh your skin with an instant infusion of moisture and revitalizing nutrients. This hydrate away mask is made up of organic spirulina, a kind of blue-green algae from deep sea, power packed with minerals and amino acids to hydrate, repair and clarify skin.

There is time you wish to turn back the clock and look younger. Who doesn't want to look younger? Age eraser is made from a unique formulation of Multipeptide, helps keeping skin looking firm, reduces the appearance of fine line and wrinkles while preventing premature skin aging.

This mask is a time savor. If you just want to have a quick skin pampering session, this mask is just right for you. It only requires 5-10 minutes. Sometimes, I'm done with 5 minutes as the bubble foams form quicker than you can imagine. Every time I use this mask, I am amazed by the magic on my face. I saw a quick brightening result after washing off. Remember to keep it close and store it in a very cool place as it oxidizes every time you open the bottle.

I super highly recommend this mask. When I first got it on hand, I was like, what? How can a sheet mask be so thick. After knowing all the theories behind and experiencing it, I am truly impressed by the technology. This nano bio-cellulose mask is specifically tailored to compensate the weakness of traditional mask sheet. And the price you pay is for their technology. Each piece of mask comes with two sides of protective sheets, they protect the mask entirely. You have to remove them from both sides. I can rest assure doing my daily cores like blogging and editing my video without worrying the mask to not adhere to my skin or fall down after few minutes. After 20 minutes, the mask was still firmly resting on my face. If your skin experiences inflammation, pop this on and you will find its cooling effect would perfectly heal the flame. *Gotta save money to purchase it when I run out of it.* Give it a try girls! You will obsess with it like me!

Firstly, congratulation Sugao for launching in Malaysia! Those who are obsessed with Japanese makeup may heard about the brand, Sugao. I assume that most of you do not hear about Sugao including myself as I personally am a K-beauty addict who do not much explore myself to Japanese brand. Let me do a brief induction.

Being crowned as a Sugao Hero Product, this CC Creams comes in a light souffle-like texture which provides an amazingly light skin feel that spreads smoothly and evenly on the skin when applied, which also my most favourite products among them. Formulated with Root Patented Air-Fit Technology, this CC cream covers pores and evenly touches up dull area softly with only a thin layer of 0.01mm. No kiddingly, it absorbs excess sebum on the surface of skin effectively, wearing it for a whole day long shouldn't be a problem. Matte foundation usually comes with pore clogging, but this CC cream leaves skin breathable with an airy, beautiful finish while at the same time brightens up the skin tone. It claims itself as 4-in-1 CC cream which contains SPF23 PA+++, free from fragrance and alcohol and acts as a makeup base.

My Verdict: My most favourite product among these 4 items. The Smooth Air Fit CC cream creates a perfect layer on my skin yet I do not feel my skin drying. I'm impressed with how it smoothens my skin surface and makes me pore-less whole day.

Combining lippie and cheek blush into a little bottle, it's available in 3 colours (Natural Red, Active Orange & Brilliant Pink). This mousse gives me a lightweight satin smooth texture, perfect for a daily day out. 

My Verdict: Putting on the cheek, I feel smooth and non-drying. On my lips, it helps smoothen my lip wrinkles and creates a matte lip. The pigmentation is kind of less, put your favourite lipstick as base would be perfect. Oh, you can also purely wear it onto your lips to have a sweet daily lippie.

This fluffy finely granted powder gives me a feeling of lightness and transparency by gently wrapping  on my skin. Like wearing a chiffon veil, it absorbs sebum effectively and reduces oil on the surface of skin, keeping my skin fresh all day long. In addition, it helps brighten the skin as it balances uneven skin tone. 

My Verdict: However, I pretty recommend you to top this chiffon powder on a dewy foundation surface. As it matte out all the makeup upon application.

Available in three different colours, which are Juicy Red, Sweet Pink, Apricot Pink. It comes in water-like texture and gives a plump finish upon application.

My Verdict:Swatching on my hand is totally different from putting onto my lips. It gives adequate pigmentation as a lip tint, and an extra minty cooling effect to soothe my lips. It doesn't transfer when I drink. 

It's been long time I didn't review any cafe or talk about food. This gonna be a casual blogpost. I just simply wanna share this place with you guys. This little corner was so cozy, made a loner feels warm like sitting at his own home. I like how minimalistic the design be. Zǎo has its kitchen set at outside of the cafe which I found so unique. If you are a breakfast lover, you may fall in love with this simple little space.
