[HEALTH] Betadine® Daily Feminine Wash Turns Pink in October

Betadine Femanine Wash

[WARNING: LADIES CONTENT] Good morning guys!! Im starting my morning today by sharing with you a recent find that I just discovered, and I'll warn you that the topic today may be a little too intimate for you to read about. Frequently going for a Brazilian wax, I have always been told to not shower with warm water, and to also never use feminine wash for the first week after a fresh wax session. And I always wondered on how do I keep my 'V' clean when I'm not allowed to wash? I found out that some feminine wash may not be too good to be used all the time as it tends to dry out your 'V', but luckily for Betadine Daily Feminine Wash, its suitable for daily usage, and its also a feminine wash that is suitable even when you're on your periods! Whats even better would be that in the month of October they're having this Pink October campaign which really means a lot to me.

REVIEW TIME

Betadine Femanine Wash suitable for Daily Use

Before I go into detail on the campaign, let me just share with you a little write up on my thoughts about the Betadine Daily Feminine Wash. It has been out in the market for a while now, and to be honest I've been using this for the past 3 months, its just that I decided to do a write up on this just recently because I thought the campaign that they're running sounds like a great reason to share it out with you guys. To me, my principles are always to prioritise health first in no matter what I do, but what some people don't realise would be that staying healthy isn't just about what you eat and how you live ; its also about making sure your personal hygiene stays in tiptop shape.

Foam dispenser

The vagina is home to healthy bacteria known as Lactobacillus, and these are essential to protect our intimate area's micro-environment. This good bacteria would help maintain optimal pH balance while preventing unfriendly organism from thriving. We all know that probiotics (contains in yogurt, vitagen, cheese and etc.) are good for digestive system but did you also know that its also beneficial for the intimate area as well? When it comes to women's personal hygiene, probiotics help in protecting against feminine discomfort due to pH imbalance.

Suitable pH level for your Vagina

Foamy texture, with a pleasant scent

Ideally, the female intimate area should have a pH level of 3.8-4.2 which means that most body soaps (pH levels of 9-10) that we use everyday can disrupt pH balance of the intimate area which can result in infections caused by thriving unfriendly organisms. With the Betadine Tri-Care Daily Feminine Wash Foam, it has been designed with the benefits of probiotics to provide protection and maintenance of the pH balance of your intimate area, thanks to its natural ingredients of Immortelle, Deoplex and Syricalm.

Immortelle – a natural anti-oxidant that helps to improve skin’s natural moisture levels

Deoplex – a natural extract that provides effective odour neutralisation

Syricalm – a natural active ingredient that soothes skin, reduces redness and alleviates irritation.

Conclusion

Keep your V clean to maintain a hygienic lifestyle

Available in a convenient and luxurious foam format in a 100ml/150ml bottle. Betadine® Tri-Care™ Daily Feminine Wash Foam is soap-, paraben- and colourant-free, hypoallergenic and dermatologically-tested, so you won't have to worry about harmful chemicals being in contact with your v-jayjay. The gentle formulation also makes it perfect for daily use, including when you're on your periods! Whats there really not to love about the Betadine Daily Feminine Wash? If you're seeking for a feminine wash that is gentle enough to gently cleanse your intimate area, this would be it! Highly recommended by me without a doubt, and if youre wondering, it also has a pleasant scent too.

[REVIEW] Nivea Protect & Care Deodorant

Nivea Protect & Care Deodorant

Having an active lifestyle can be rather challenging, especially in times when you start to stink halfway through the day. And that is why, getting the right deodorant is important to ensure that you smell good and feel confident while you complete your daily routines. Other than deodorant making you smell good, have you ever heard of a deodorant that has been developed to protect & care? Deodorant is usually applied around the underarms, and its important to care for your underarms as the area has a thinner layer of skin and is prone to dryness. With the Nivea Protect & Care Deodorant, you can leave it to Nivea to Protect & Care for your underarms throughout the day.

With 48 hours of gentle care

Personally speaking, i would usually be concerned as some deodorants would cause irritation and dryness. So, when i heard about the new Nivea Protect & Care Deodorants, i immediately took the time to do some research on the product. The Nivea Protect & Care Deodorants is enriched with the essence of Nivea creme, that offers long-lasting protection of up to 48 hours and at the same time, the innovative and skin-friendly formula gently cares for your skin. 

PROTECT & CARE

Spray Bottle Nicea Protect & Care | 150ml | RM17.50

You might be wondering why the range is called Protect & Care, and if youre reading this, i have the answer to that! In our busy lifestyle, we tend to overlook the little things in life such as the skin damage caused by waxing, shaving and tweezing. I usually avoid using deodorants especially after waxing cause it would usually leave my skin feeling irritated, but Nivea took the effort to give a little extra attention with its formulation and wallah, formulation that care for your underarm skin.

Nivea Roll On Protect & Care | 50ml | RM11.30

Details of the Nivea Spray Bottle Protect & Care Deodorant

COMFORT LEVEL

Definitely in my daily routine after i shower each day

I dont know about you guys, but some deodorants to me are a huge no no, especially when it makes my underarm feels too dry or too sticky, both making me feel uncomfortable. I've been using the  Nivea Protect & Care range, and surprisingly the results are satisfying! With the existance of Nivea Protect & Care Deodorants, i wont have to worry about feeling uncomfortable as it actually keeps my underarm feeling fresh and free from stinkiness! An easy descrption to describe it would be that its like cream in a form of deodorant. 

I dont think its entirely impossible for me to do a 48 hour test without showering for 2 days, but i would have to say that the deodorant keeps up with me really well with my busy schedule. After showering in the morning, i would apply a sufficient amount of deodorant and i'll head off to work. After work, i would usually either go to the gym or to ballet class, and surprisingly, without showering, i would have to say that despite all the sweat, i still smell good enough to go out for dinner. Hehe. Deodorants to me which can last after all the sweat i produce, its impressive in terms of long lasting and comfort. The Nivea Protect & Care would definitely be highly recomended by me. 

VERDICT 

And here is what i have to say about the Nivea Protect & Care Deodorants

As a verdict, i would have to say that the Nivea Protect & Care is by far the most impressive formulation that i've tested from this very day. Even my sister is using Nivea Protect & Care after she found out that im using is (not bias). Hehe. Between the roll-on and spray bottle, a little comment that i would share would be that the bottle spray is more convenient for light daily routines, but if you want an extra boost of freshness to last you longer, i would use the roll-on bottle. If you're wondering if i would repurchase, i would say its a YES! The Nivea Protect & Care is available in a 50ml roll-on bottle at RM11.30 and a 150ml Spray Bottle at RM17.50. Get yours today at all leading stores and pharmacies nationwide! xx

Avon's latest Perfume launch || Femme Exclusive and Homme Exclusive

Avon's Latest Perfume | Femme Exclusive and Homme Exclusive

This is just in guys! If you haven't heard, Avon has recently launched a pair of exclusive perfume for him and for her making it a perfect gift for couples, a perfect gift for your girlfriend or boyfriend, or even for anyone in your life that you think deserves a touch of exclusiveness. I've pretty much grown with Avon where I still remember the days that I brought the Avon booklet with me to get teachers and my friend's parents to buy stuff and the small commission would always be rewarded to me by my mom at the age of 8. HAHA, memories. Avon has practically grew up till i hit puberty!

Presenting the Homme Exclusive and Femme Exclusive

So here's the real deal. You might be wondering what makes these perfumes a must have? Since I have it in my hands, this post would tell you all about what you need to know. Introducing to you the two exclusive fragrances by Avon, Avon Femme Exclusive, and Avon Homme Exclusive. I personally believe that perfumes play a big role in setting the right mood and I'm happy to say that the Avon Exclusive range is surprisingly versatile, making it suitable for different occasions.

Avon Femme Exclusive

Femme Exclusive | RM89.00WM and RM102.40EM

Even the bottle looks really exclusive

A little review on the Avon Femme Exclusive features a mesmerizing oriental scent with a special touch of pear, jasmine, and vanilla. I would personally have to say that the combination of pear and jasmine unexpectedly compliments each other really well and I love the fact that the fragrance of vanilla later lingers after. The fragrance has a light pastel purple shade with a soft mysterious scent that would guarantee to make any women feel fresh, sexy, gentle and seductive (or at least, that would be the character I would describe).

Price: RM89.00 (WM) & RM102.40 (EM)

Fragrance Category: Feminine, Sweet, Fruity, Floral and Fresh.

Content: 50ml

Avon Homme Exclusive

Homme Exclusive | RM89.00WM and RM102.40EM

Doesnt it give you a mysterios James Bond feel?

Next would be a review on the Avon Homme Exclusive which features a woody scent with grapefruit and spices you leave any man feeling luxurious and powerful. I'm not too sure on how to describe the perfume on a men perspective, but from a female side of it, I actually find the scent rather attractive as its very masculine. Despite the scent being labeled as woody aromatic, the scent actually moves towards a fresh fragrance to bring out the confidence of a man to last throughout the day. I would imagine this scent to be on James bond if you ask me. Hehe.

Price: RM89.00 (WM) & RM102.40 (EM)

Fragrance Category: Masculine, Woody, Spicy.

Content: 50ml

VERDICT

My thoughts on the Homme and Femme Exclusive?

My overall thoughts on the new range would be that I love it! Both fragrances compliment each other really well, and to have this in a pair makes it the perfect power fragrance to flaunt your confidence, the feel of luxury, glamour, and class. I would highly recommend these scents to be as a night out fragrance, but really, I also find it suitable to be used on a casual day or on a red carpet night. Fragrances that can be used during the day and night are a plus point to me, and if you're looking for a scent that would be versatile enough to last you throughout the day, you should really get a sniff of this. For the retail price, I would say that this would be an 'exclusive' deal to be scoring a bottle of the Femme and Homme Exclusive fragrance for less than RM105 per bottle.

My Rating: 4.5/5

Thank you so reading my humble review and if you would like to find out more about the new fragrance, you can always leave me a comment below OR head on over to your nearest Avon store today. Live a glamorous life with a glamorous fragrance to start your day fresh with a hint of class. Psst, it's currently my everyday perfume and I'm loving how strong yet subtle the scent is. A spray of this would be an instant solution to boost confidence. Hehe. Well, that's all for now folks, till my next post. xx

[REVIEW] Furley FemMist | Feminine Mist

Reviewing the Furley FemMist

WARNING: Ladies content. So if you're reading this, and you consider yourself a guy, it's best you skip this blog and head off to another blog post. HAHA. Or if you're here looking for a solution for feminine issues, then sit back and read on my review. In today's post, I'll be sharing you those embarrassing moments when your feminine private parts start creating issues, such as releasing odor and discharge causing you to feel uncomfortable. Thankfully, I found a solution that kept my Miss V happy all day long thanks to the Furley FemMist Feminine Mist.

FemMist your solution to intimate issues

Some list of ingredients in case youre wondering

The Feminine Mist is a Malaysian home grown brand (Malaysia Boleh gais!), and am proud to share with you how amazing this product is. And no, if you think im being all bias, trust me, i wouldnt take the time to write this out if it doesnt work. Talking about Miss V, im pretty sure we ocassionally dont realize that we're not giving enough love and attention to our Miss V when 'she' needs our attention the most. How do i know? Well, Miss V would usually start seeking for attention when it starts causing itchiness, releasing odour and discharge which most of us would usually just wonder why? *facepalm* To keep it simple, i believe that discomfort can cause lack of confidence, cause whatever goes under your clothes determines how confident you are on the inside and out. Right?

Comes in a spray bottle

Introducing to you the Furley FemMist Feminine Mist which has been created to save the day! With the Furley FemMist Feminine Mist, you can say goodbye to itching, odour, discharge and discomfort. What attracted me the most the minute I got this was the fact that it contains no harsh chemicals, and its all made out of the goodness of mother nature. BONUS POINTS! And believe me, with this bottle of wonders, it can keep you and your miss V feeling fresh, confident and poised all day long. Some fun facts on Furley FemMist Feminine Mist are that it's made out of mangosteen extracts! Cool!

HOW TO

Spray and wait for 1 minute, then wash clean

It comes in a spray type bottle, and it can hold up to 35ml of content. I believe that the size is ideal to bring around with you no matter where you are. Now, to use, all you need to do is spray the Furley FemMist Feminine Mist on your intimate area, leave it on for about 1 minute, then rinse the private area well. And that's it! The directions of usage are super easy and I believe that its gentle enough for your intimate area as its completely water based!

VERDICT

Be more confident with Furley FemMist

As a verdict, i would say that this would be a natural solution to keep your Miss V instantly refreshed. With the Furley FemMist Feminine Mist, they have made feminine hygiene easy to maintain as you spray and walk away at work, at home or even when you're traveling! It has been designed to suit all skin types and are most definitely PH friendly. It's rather unusual to find a product that the ingredients have been extracted from mangosteens too!

Unboxing CubeCrate; January 2017 Box

Unboxing CubeCrate January 2017

And just in time to celebrate New Year, my CubeCrate January Box has made its way to my house just before Chinese New Year. The year started pretty messed up for me, but thankfully that I subscribed to a CubeCrate box to cheer me up each month. To greet the new years, I'm pretty sure CubeCrate has some exciting things featured in this months box, and if you're as curious as i am, lets find out what's inside!

Do you feel the Chinese New Year vibes?!

Brands featured in this months box!

Upon unboxing, i can already sense the Chinese New Year spirit! What's there not to love? Being in malaysia, I absolutely love the culture that we have here, and to be a part of such a massive celebration really means a lot to me. Thank you CubeCrate or giving me a feel of the Chinese New Year spirit! Hehe. So from the list of brands featured in this month's box would be from J&E Botanicals, Potsie Pottie, The Tea Republic and Feather Gifts Shop.

Sugar Scrub in Candy Cane *My item of the month!

Sugary scrub goodness! 

First up would be something from J&E Botanicals, where i got myself a candy cane sugar scrub! Just in time to scrub away my dead skin from my body. Teehee. Got to try this out and it smells just heavenly. I sensed a very strong scent of peppermint and i really can't wait to scrub myself with this candy cane sugar scrub. Extra points for its lovely glass packaging, it would look like a decorative item when put it on my bathroom shelves.

Earring from Potsie Pottie

How cure are these earrings?!

Next thing i got would be an earring from Potsie Pottie. I remember getting a few earrings from Potsie Pottie months back, and surprisingly i still have it with me still in perfect condition. Looks like I'll be adding another item to the collection that i have from Potsie Pottie. Being a versatile pair of earrings, i absolutely can't wait to see what kind of look i can create with these earrings. YAS

Some Tea from the Tea Republic anyone?

Looks so good! A sucker for tea's like these.

The aroma really relaxes me.

And guess whats next in the list? I got myself a tea sample by The Tea Republic. This actually gave me a nostalgic memory of my last visit in China where tea is really an important tradition in the chinese culture as back in the olden times if im not mistaken, it resembles wealth. So without hesitating, I decided to boil hot water and instantly try the tea out! The tea flavor that I received was actually a blend of lemongrass and ginger (Way too obvious), and despite not being a fan of ginger in my tea, this tea somehow tasted pleasant. Since I liked it, I decided to head over to The Tea Republic's website just to be amazed at the variety they had. So better check it out and see if any of their collection got you craving for tea. hehe

A decorative item and a magnet from feather gifts shop. 

Its now on my fridge! 

Last but not least would be something from the Feather Gifts Shop. The Feather Gifts Shop mainly sells Chinese cultural and educational related gift, but in this months CubeCrate box, i got myself a decorative item in a shape of a money bag, and a fridge magnet that resembles so much of antiquity. I'm hoping that the money bag i received is actually a symbolic gift that I'll have a wealthy year this year. Hehe.

Whats in my January 2017 CubeCrate box

So, i guess that's all for now. Thank you so much for reading my blog post. If you happen to want to subscribe to CubeCrate's subscription plan, be sure to head on over to Cube Crate Malaysia's website to see what plan they offer. In case you're wondering, eachCubeCrate box is priced at RM35, but for the past 1 year that I've been receiving their parcels, i guarantee that each box is usually worth more than the price you pay for. What are you waiting for? Subscribe today already! *wink.

Also, enjoy this video below of my sister reviewing my box for this months CubeCrate. It's her first video and im actually proud of her random acts. LOL.

Unboxing CubeCrate; December 2016 Box

Unboxing CubeCrate December 2016 Box

Received this CubeCrate Box just in time for Christmas, and honestly speaking, I was actually looking forward to the parcel! Being a Christmas season, I'm pretty sure that CubeCrate will have tons of surprises to celebrate the gifting season. So if you're here with me in discovering what's in my December box, scroll away as I unbox my December 2016 box!

Upon unboxing, here are some the things that i see

Brands featured in this months box

Here are some sneak peaks on what's inside. And really it looks like its almost full! If you've been following me on my unboxing post, you would notice that its pretty much of a habit to me to check out the list of the brands of this months box first before going through whats inside. So in this month's box, we have 7 featured brands namely, Oishi Green Tea, J&E Botanicals, Stick With Me, Taratats, Beyond Beauty, Fraîche Designer Delectables, and Candle Nuts.

Oh lookie, a little gift from Cubecrate! THANK YOU!

Upon unboxing the box, I think it's pretty obvious that there's a really cute calendar in it to welcome twenty seventeen by CubeCrate, thanks to @moodoodles. Way too pretty, giving me the excitement to start my year fresh with this handle calendar. (Thanks, CubeCrate ) I also got a cute Christmas ornament attached too, and boy it was like the center piece to my Christmas tree for 2016.

One of my favourite bottled drinks at the moment

First up in my box would be the Oishi Green Tea in honey lemon flavor. I'm loving the fact that I get to enjoy a drink while I'm writing this blog post right now and let me hand it to ya, it super refreshing! It's actually green tea with honey lemon and even on regular days, I would grab this for myself from a 7Eleven store nearby my place. Mmmhmm.

Room & Body Spray in Christmas Spirit

Next in my box would be the J&E Botanicals aromatherapy room and body spray in Christmas Spirit in 10ml. Checked out their site, and I'm actually surprised that the full-size Christmas Spirit (60ml) is only priced at RM20! Got this in a very Christmassy scent which kind of smelled like gingerbread actually, but when I referred to their site, its actually a blend of warm, sweet & Spicy scents of orange, cinnamon, and spruce. Mmmm. Perfect for the christmas season! One thing I respect about J&E Botanicals, is that their products are handcrafted and born out of the belief for a better and natural lifestyle, sans toxic and synthetic chemicals.

Look, i got myself a candy cane from Stickwitme

Highquality, once sticked considered permanent

Oh, lookie here! I received something from StickWitMe  I think I received one of their products during Halloween and I'm loving how long lasting it sticks with me (literally). LOL. But yes, it's not your usual sticker cause its made out of PU leather, making it the perfect sticker to stick almost anywhere! Since my phone needed a little makeover to suit the season, I decided to stick my candy cane form StickWitMe on my phone cover. Don't you think it adds the perfect touch to my phone? MAJOR LOVE!  Looks like I won't need to worry about buying a new cover. Hehe

Taratats anyone?

Decided to cut a piece

And viola, is it a ring? A sticker? No! It's a temporary tattoo!

I also received something from Taratats, and they actually feature modern temporary tattoo making it the perfect accessory for almost any occasion. In my case, I decided to cut it out and apply a string of the temporary tattoo onto my middle finger, making it look like an illusion that im wearing a ring. Pretty cool ey? I also managed to show this to my sister, and she hasn't taken her eyes off it as she's begging me to let her use some of the star temporary tattoos's on Christmas day.

Oh lookie, something from Beyond Beauty

Hmm, this may be a tough decision

But honestly, this might be my favorite item of all! I got myself a Beyond Beauty voucher to reimburse for a beauty treatment. With this voucher, I can either pick to go for an Alpha Skin Hydrating Facial (worth RM200), RF Fat Erase treatment (worth RM480) or for a Relaxing Swedish Massage (worth RM200). UGH, much needed treatment before i end my year really. THANK YOU CUBECRATE FOR THE TREAT! I might have thought twice if I knew that I had to pay RM200 for a facial treatment, but with your voucher, looks like all expenses for my facial is on you. YAY!

Snackables anyone?

Apparently a sister project by Fraîche Designer Delectables

Oh look, I even got myself a snack from Fraîche Designer Delectables Granola! The Snackables are actually a new sister project by Fraîche Designer Delectables that features a wide range of guilt-free snacks & desserts. So if you're interested in checking them out, you can head on over to their Instagram for more snackable at Snackablesfdd. And here in my box features one of their Granola in Christmas Fruitcake which is a combination of walnuts, pumpkin seeds, apricots and all spices which are 100% natural & homemade. Got a few bites of it, and let me tell you that these snacks are pretty filling.

CandleNuts by Nadia

My room now smells like pink lemonande!

Last but not least would be a candle from Candle Nuts by Nadia. Received a sample size item from my last month's box, and now I'm super stoked that I received a full-size candle in pink lemonade from Candle Nuts by Nadia. These candles by "Nadia" are apparently the first hand poured candle in Malaysia that uses palm wax making it a kind of its own. The full-size candle can burn up to 40-45 hours and its priced at RM25.90.

All these and its only RM35 for a box!

So, I guess that about it for my unboxing review of Cubecrate's December 2016 box. As a conclusion, I personally feel like it's Christmas already with this box of wonders being in my room right now. I got myself a facial treat, a candle that makes my room smells like pink lemonade, a drink and snacks, and more! These are literally worth more than what I paid for a box I would say. So if you like to receive one of these boxes for yourself, head on over to www.cubecrate.com.my and subscribe! Do it pronto as I wouldn't want you to miss out on amazing themed goodies from CubeCrate.
