Review : Skinz UV White

2012-01-01T13:59:00.004+08:00

On 26th December, I went to Ipoh with my aunt and cousins, and I wanted to buy a Hada Labo skincare set. When I inquired about Hada Labo, the Cantonese promoter introduced Skinz UV White to me instead, claiming that it is better suited for Asian skin as it is formulated in Japan and made in Malaysia. When I asked which product was better, she indirectly told me that Skinz is better, so I ended up buying the Skinz UV White set, which includes a Purifying Facial Foam, a Clarifying Toner and an Intensive Night Moisturiser.

SKINZ UV White Purifying Facial Foam

(50g RM8.50), (100g RM14.90)

99% plant-based foaming cleanser

gently cleanses and removes impurities

while retaining your skin’s natural moisture balance.

SKINZ UV White Clarifying Toner
(100ml RM16.90)

A balancing toner that deeply tones and purifies.
Enhanced with Aloe Vera and Licorice active
to soothe and calm your skin to prepare it
for optimum absorption of skin whitening therapy.

SKINZ UV White Intensive Night Moisturiser

(40g RM 33.90)

An intensive night cream enhanced with Alpha-Arbutin
that penetrates deeper to boost the skin’s whitening process as you sleep.

This potent complex provides you with 3 levels of deeper whitening by inhibiting the effects of melanin, creating a lighter skin tone. It then diffuses deeper into the heart of skin cells to protect DNA from UV damage, reducing hyper pigmentation and dark spots. And finally, it provides you with double UVA/UVB filter coverage to protect your skin from further sun damage.

Activate your inner radiance now and see visibly radiant,
glowing luminosity in just 2 weeks*.
*visible results within 2 weeks with regular application of complete range.

Review

I've been using these products for 5 days, and though there aren't any visible results yet, but overall I'm satisfied with the products. The SKINZ UV White Purifying Facial Foam's cleansing properties are strong and the oil on the surface of my skin is removed completely. This comes with a disadvantage, though: it cleanses too well and dries up my skin.

The SKINZ UV White Clarifying Toner is a transparent liquid which has a cool feeling to it. According to the description, this product contains Aloe Vera and Licorice active which restores your skin’s optimum pH balance for a hydrated, fresh sensation. And true to its words, it really gives me a fresh feel after applying a small amount on my skin.

My favourite product in this set would be the SKINZ UV White Intensive Night Moisturiser. This product has a smooth texture and does not leave any oily residue as most moisturisers. Instead, it is absorbed by the skin almost instantly, leaving my skin soft to the touch.

I'll be using this skincare range for a longer period of time and observe its function. Let's see if my skin becomes radiant and glowing in 2 weeks time, as mentioned in the website!

2011 Recap

2011-12-31T13:29:00.004+08:00

2011 has been an eventful year, as it is my last year in high school and also the year I partake the feared-by-many SPM exam. There are a few important things to highlight in this year, and I'm really grateful that I, despite having a serious snotty disease, am still alive and kicking. I'm sorry that you had to sit next to me this whole year and see me wrapping up disgusting wantans, King Mei (금매).

In the blink of an eye, my secondary school life is over. I kind of felt sorry for myself for not doing something crazy in high school that can be reminisced when I'm older. For example, climb up the bleeding tree (yes, it does bleed!) at the edge of the school field, make a prank on a fellow classmate on April Fool's, try to throw a spear, organize a picnic to Teluk Batik - anything to make me feel a little rebellious. Well, I haven't done any of the above, and it's already over. Now I can start to weep pathetically over my lost school life.

Over with the mourning, now comes the happy part.

1. I've been sitting next to my BFF, King Mei for, what - four years? in school.

(Come to think of it, we haven't really had a good picture together. This is the best one I can find.)

2. Our group emerged as one of the State level winners in the Star NIE - Pizza Hut Magazine Contest! (Sorry, I forgot its official name.)

From left to right: Jessie Ong, Rachel Ching, Aik Chien, Moses Ching, LeiWen Pang

Me, King Mei and Lei Wen had laughed like maniacs in Pizza Hut. It was like getting rich all of a sudden. But we spent our wealth in one hour, stuffing our bellies full with Pizza Hut treats.

3. Graduation Day

4. Bomba Farewell Party @ KFC

We spent a whooping RM 300 that night, but considering how our club members enjoyed the meal, it was worth the money.

4. Class party at Ms. Tan's home

Hey, how can he be whiter than me??? Not fair!!! *Stares enviously*

5. Prefect's Farewell

The pretty girls. From left to right: Geraldine, Pik Lin, Me, Sok Sien, Zi Xian, Ting Hui.

Secondary school life is an amazing journey in life that enables us to meet with friends who, no matter what happens, will still remain as an indispensable piece of puzzle that makes our lives joyful and interesting. Though we may, at one time, be at odds with one another, the sincerity of friendship that bonds us together will help us to overcome these misunderstandings and mistrusts. I hope each and everyone of my friends will find the courage to pursue their greatest dreams and attain happiness in the future.

“There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

Accounting Test Today!

2011-12-05T22:12:00.003+08:00

Today is the Accounting test in SPM.

Which is also the first time I actually got one of my accounts balanced! So damn excited! I still remember the tallying number: RM 234 650 :)

It's time to prepare myself for the next battle! The Chinese paper, which is on 7th December, is the hardest to score. Only 4 people in Malaysia get an A+ last year! Which is about 0.02 percent of all the candidates who took Chinese. Can you imagine it? No, we are not stupid, it's just that the binomial graph for Chinese is steeper than the other subjects. You have to get 90 and above to score an A+ in Chinese. Do you know how hard is that? One question is entitled at least 3-4 marks, and if you get three wrong, then you're goner. The essay is also challenging; tough, I would say. I admit I'm not that good in essay writing. I'm far behind if compared to students in China of my age. However, I will try my best and hope for the best.

An A is good enough for me. God, can you hear my prayers?
