Bouncy, Brighter, Baby Skin with 3Bskin


I think its every girls dream to achieve bouncier, brighter, baby skin, and 3Bskin has the solution to it.   And to make it more exciting, 3Bskin is currently searching for a 3Bskin Brand Ambassador. For the past few months, they have been getting participants nationwide and the final selection is scheduled to kick off between the 15th of December to the 31st of December 2015.

3Bskin is found and owned by June Hee, who is currently 25 years old and she pursues her passion in contributing to the health and beauty industry. Since they havent had an official launch yet, they have expected to have a soft launch in Jan 2016, so be sure to keep your dates checked. 

What is 3B Skin?


3B skin offers premium yet affordable price skincare which are made from high quality & fine ingredients tailor for asian skin especially for the youth. HOORAH! Not only that, its also suitable to be used for Men and Women from all ages. And guess what? I was given a sample of 3Bskin to test out, and im loving the results! Since i have oily combination skin, i was given to tryout the Enzyme Scrub Mask and the Green Detox Mask.

REVIEW

So, i was given a really cute sample to tryout how good 3Bskin is. From a first impression, the packaging doesnt look like much, but i always tell myself not to judge a book by its cover. hehe. The portion is good enough for about 2 times of use, and usually mask are to be worn at least once a week.

Before applying the mask from 3Bskin, i gave my face a wash with my usual cleanser for optimum results.

STEP 1


First up in my review would be the Enzyme Scrub Mask. I decided to give it a swipe on my hand first, and i realised that it had a small amount of granules. The enzyme scrub mask contains gentle purifying granules which helps exfoliate skin and effectively lifts away pore-clogging impurities, such as dead skin cells, and oil which results to a smoother, healthier skin.



Upon application, the texture feels really smooth and gentle on my skin. Please also note that it smells very fruity too. I applied it in a circular motion massaging it for a good 2 minute to really scrub all the dead skin off. The key benefits of this mask is that it removes dead skin, detoxifies, moisturises and brightens the skin.


I left it on my face for about 15 minutes before rinsing it off with warm water. After rinsing my face, i would say that my face does look brighter instantly! Wouldnt you agree? Not to forget, my skin feels really fresh and soft even though i've only been using it for the first time.

STEP 2


The second step would be to apply the Green Detox Mask. The description says that its perfect for Oily and combination skin which helps improve moisture balance and oil control. Upon swiping it on my hand, the texture is creamy and smoother compared to the Enzyme Scrub Mask.



Application was applied the same way around the face, and i left it on for about 15 minutes before rinsing it off. It wasnt as easy to wash it off, so i would highly advice you to use a sponge to wipe the mask off. After rinsing it off, i realised that it refines my pores and it really lifts away my clogged pores!


VERDICT

Personally, i would say that it doest look like much, but once you apply it on your face, it really does wonders. I love how its suitable and gentle on asian skin making it a suitable product for people in Malaysia. But to complete the mask application takes a while since it takes about 30 minutes of your time to fully complete each session of application. Im not too sure if its normal but my skin is feeling a slight irritation after about 10 minutes of washing it off. But after that, my skin feels a-ok.


Enzyme Scrub Mask Benefits :
+ Removes Dead Skin
+ Detoxifies and Refines
+ Moisturise and Softens
+ Brightens and shines


Green Detox Mask:
+ Great oil control
+ Pore Refining
+ Removes Dead Skin and Brightens
+ Anti Acne

Spicy Challenge X Mamee Cool Tea

The coolest drink in Malaysia!
Guess what? Something cool and exciting just came and I cant wait to share it with you! Ever had those days where you feel the sun burning through your soul and youre just craving for a drink that cools you down from head to toe? Well, GOOD NEWS! Cause I have the answer to that. I present to you Cool Tea by Mamee.

Mandatory shot.
Spicy Chilli vs. Cool Tea.
So apparently, I was invited to take on the challenge to challenge myself to taste the spiciest dish I’ve ever tasted with a few other influencers thanks to Nuffnang. I don’t think anyone predicted what we were we up for, but OMG, the heat was REAL! We started the event with a warm up with a signature chili drink from Chili Rush, which had a tangy spicy taste, and I have to say that it didn’t taste that bad.

Chilli Rush's signature Chilli Drink
Level 10 ; ChickentWings
It was at Chilli Rush in Jaya One, and if you don’t know, its famous for their spicy chicken wing challenge which varies from level 1 to level 10. With high hopes of thinking that we would be challenge with level 5, the attendees were all challenged with level 10 at our first go.  Each round had 5 participants to give it their best shot, provided with a drink from Mamee Cool Tea.

My heart was racing.
My first bite, and my last. 
As the challenge begins, names were being called for the challenge, and basically we were to finish as much chicken wings in less than 60 seconds to qualify to the finals. Also do note that within the 60 seconds, we were not allowed to drink. From my expression, I think you can pretty much tell how spicy it was. I wasn’t expecting it to be burning, but from my first bite, my mouth was already crying.

Anis, couldnt handle the heat! but thanks to Cool Tea, we managed to cool down.
Of course I was crying my heart out cause the spicy was REALLY REALLY spicy. I had Jessy  The KL Chic with me in the challenge, and we were both in tears, while we were hunting for more water. Thank god for Cool Tea, it did washed away the heat from our tongue (but of course, since I don’t tolerate too well with chili, it took me about 3 bottles to really wash the heat away) hehe.

Tears of spicy pain.
Overall, I must say that it’s a really fun challenge to do at home. With so many challenges trending lately, I think its about time you challenge yourself too, no? hehe. Previously I had a fear of challenging myself with chili, but with Cool Tea, it’s a relieve that their existence has a purpose.

From Left: Cool Tea Chrysanthemum, Cool Tea Green Tea and Cool Tea Original
If youre wondering, Cool Tea by Mamee comes in 3 exciting flavours, Original, Green Tea and Chrysanthemum. Personally I love the original the best, but Green Tea and Chrysanthemum gives an exciting different taste to the drink.

Comes in a bottle (380ml) or a can (330ml)
Containing 8 natural herbal extracts, from Mesona Chinesis, Liquorice Root, Lotus Leaf, Honeysuckle Flower, Chrysanthemum Flower, Mulberry Leaf, Selfheal and Grosvenor Momordica, which im aware that are particularly well known to release body heat. Also, available in two different sizes based on your preference.

PC: Mamee Cool Tea
So there you have it! Start your spicy challenge and challenge your friends and family! Do try Cool Tea whenever you pass by any 7-Eleven, Aeon, Tesco, The Store, Giant, Aeon Big, Econsave, KK Mart, Shall or Mydin, and you'll see what i mean. Be sure to stock up on your Cool Tea for a cooling sensation after every spicy challenge, or it could also just quench your thirst after a long hot day.

Freeport A'Famosa Outlet X Style on a Shoe String

Presenting the Freeport A'Famosa Outlet.
About 2 weeks ago, I managed to check out Freeport A’Famosa Outlet. And to make it more exciting, me and 40 other bloggers were to compete and take the ‘Style on a Shoe String’ challenge. Just when its already exciting to know that theres a new outlet launched, I have reasons to shop and find trendy outfits! YAY!

Our styler speakers of the day sharing tips.
The event launched with a short chat with celebrity bloggers, where they were sharing tips on how to look trendy. I think most of the bloggers present were really in for exclusive tips on how to look more presentable and basically creating a statement. So before proceeding to the challenge, we went to have lunch, and we were also briefed that we were given 2 hours to style ourselves without spending more than RM350.

The crowd.
I have to admit that when I was browsing through Freeport A’Famosa Outlet, it literally felt like it was a shoppers heaven with all the SALE sign boards up everywhere. It was crazy! Even the crowd couldn’t stop me.



But of course, im sure youre here reading to find out what do they have at the Freeport A’Famosa Outlet and if its worth the journey if youre coming all the way from different states. I can guarantee that you’ll be more excited to know that they have, Cotton On, G2000, Forever 21, Brooks, Nike, Puma, Sacoor Brothers and more! So since I managed to check out the place. Here are some photos of the Freeport A’Famosa Outlet :

NIKE OUTLET



As you can see, Nike happens to be one of the most attractive outlets to shop to. Its crazy when you can get shoes at less than RM100, Jerseys at RM29 and above. Looking for sports shoes, head over to Nike to get yourself a pair or two ;)

PUMA OUTLET




Puma was pretty crazy with people too. With an Arsenal Jersey available at on RM129, how can anybody resist? I know i was tempted to get myself a jersey, but i gotta stay focus since my category of styling myself was to look 'stylish'. Boohoo. Guess i'll have to come over again next time.

FOREVER 21 OUTLET


I was really rooting for Forever 21 to have what i want. But after almost an hour of wasting my time hunting for treasures, i found a jacket and a top which i like. Not to say that its VERY cheap, but just imagine normal price, with a promotion of Buy 2 Get 1 Free. So, ladies, dont put your hopes too high in this chain.

OTHER OUTLETS

Levi's Outlet Store
Clarks
Vero Moda
G2000
Sacoor Brothers
I personally couldnt resist myself upon checking out Sacoor Brothers. Imagine seeing a cashmere sweater priced at RM380++ being marked down to RM88?! I managed to grab myself 2 sweaters because im a sucker for sweaters. It was too irresistible! 

Partially still under construction, to complete before 2016
If you’re planning to go very soon, do expect that there will always be a crowd during the weekends. So I would suggest you to go on a weekday to avoid the crowd. But if you enjoy joining the crowd, then be my guest! Also, let me warn you that parking may be an issue upon reaching. Do expect parking more than 1km distance during the weekend. Hehe.

THE 'STYLISH' LOOK

The final look!
The final look achieved, I grabbed myself a jacket (RM90) and a bring red orange top (RM85) from Forever 21, my jeans (RM45) and Shades (RM6) from Cotton On! Thats a total of RM220 to achieve this entire look! Not to shabby ey? hehe. What do you think? ;)

TRANSPORT

Transportation alternative.
Wondering how to get there? You can always take a bus, or drive from Kuala Lumpur, which would take you about 50 minutes to reach if theres no jam. But of course, if its jam, it may take you about 2 hours to reach. So be sure to plan your day ahead.

The iconic windmill
Managed to take a shot with the iconic windmill! :D

Bazaar: Markets 17 Christmas Bazaar

Market's 5th Anniversary
If you made it to the 17th Markets in Jaya One, im sure you brought tons of goodies back at some pretty steal prices. But if you missed out on the event, here's a recap on what was there! And not to worry, cause all these stores present are also available online. With tons novelties,  beauty products, food and fashionable pieces, this is the ideal bazaar that everyone would usually rave about.

Registration & directory
The tradition on registration still goes on, where when visitors drop by and register, they will instantly get a goodie bag (*limited)! And i love that the bazaar ended the year with one of the biggest bazaar's that i've ever been to with pretty good vendors up and ready for the christmas season and new year. Major love!

Have you done it? 
Thats me picking out my items to sell to a buyer. WOHOO!
And in the 17th Markets, they have something new which went on during the weekend called the "have you done it?". What is it? I managed to give myself a go with the game, and i have to admit that it was interesting! Basically its a game for 2 individuals, where 1 will be randomly selected as a seller to sell the chosen products given, and the other has to pump air into a balloon to win the 'cash' and basically be the buyer. Both participants will then be directed to the box to start a conversation where the seller has to sell the highest price and the buyer has to buy it at the lowest price. I do hope they have this again in the next Markets! So fingers crossed to that.

Markets Makan-Makan

Free samples with specific times.
How can you say no to free samples?
One of the highlights of the day would be the free samples by the food vendors, which will be given out at specific times. And since its Malaysia, who would ever say no to free food?! A great way to meet the chefs themselves and go all master chef to determine which food vendor was the best. HAHA. But if you ask me, these food vendors were well handpicked by markets that each of the booth had different things to offer, thus the food was practically incomparable.

Christmas desserts
More desserts by Wie's little kitchen
Big Bang Bao was a hit
With their signature fried ice cream in the making
From light meals, heavy meals, to desserts, your tastebuds will be guaranteed with satisfaction after browsing through the food section. Most of the crowd were fascinated to find new ways to enjoy the classic desserts and meals. They even had fresh fried ice cream, and it even got me drooling!

T Juice Cold Pressed
S Juicer Cafe 
The golden gracie was delicious! 
But as for me, i decided to go for a healthier option with Jessy the KL Chic. T Juice cold pressed and S Juicer Cafe would be the highlight from my visit. The T Juice Cold Pressed comes in a glass bottle with freshly squeezed fruits, a refreshing way to quench your thirst from the bazaar. S Juicer Cafe caught my attention when they introduced to me their Golden Gracie which contains healthy  traditional ingredients, and it comes it small bite sizes! Yum. If you missed your chance on trying this yummy healthy dessert, keep your fingers crossed for the next bazaar ;)

CRNailz
Featuring spa products from Smeeka
You can even get your nails done while youre there, featuring products from Smeeka! I managed to bring back home some products which i cant wait to give them a write up for their mani bombs and scrub. Hehe. Their Mani bombs are pretty high in demand according to the owner, so be sure to not be left out on this.

Bazaar Fashion Beauty Street

Presenting I Cant Sew's booth
Fourjei with their full on leather products.
Other products by Fourjei
Leihusky had some interesting collections too.

Can you believe these are soap by Wunderbath
Clearance by Noteworthie
Dirty Benefits featuring a christmas edition scrub.
Potheads, presenting really cute catus in a designers pot.
Denley with their handmade soaps on promotion.
Visitors would be spoilt with choices without a doubt. I knew i was clueless on what to buy, cause there was just too many things too look at. From my favourite stores to new beauty products at the markets bazaar, i took the time to browse through every booth while i still could. Shopaholic problems. haha.

Peep Boutique, with the trendies outfits
A gorgeous dress at Peep Boutique
Temporary Tattoo's anyone?
Peep boutique had really nice pieces and temporary tattoo. The pieces from Peep boutique were my kind of style, and i cant wait to show off my ootd from Peep Boutique. hehe. If youre into tribal, bohemian pieces, be sure to also check out their online store.

Cubecrate is a newcomer to the bazaar.
Featuring random mysterious items in a box.
And for every purchase from the booth, you get a free flower from Happy Bunch
I've been eyeing on CubeCrate for a while now, and i was so excited to find out that they were there at the bazaar too! Finally got a better understanding on how it works. I also think that its super cute that they had a christmassy packaging. To get a box of mysterious items, all you need to do is pay RM25 for a box, and its all yours. I'll be reviewing my box that i've gotten, so do stay tuned for that ;)

Awesome Powsome with some treats.
Anything for your furry friend?
And not to forget the cute poodle present too. hehe
Markets Bazaar has constantly surprised me in so many ways, and guess what?! They had something for your furry friends as well, presenting Awesome Pawsome. And present at the booth, was their poodle ambassador. They had tons of varieties to spoilt your pet, and the ingredients used to make these treats are by only the best quality.

Honda Car Boots Booth

Presenting Doc Lab

There were also Car Boot Booths up and it was so exciting that they were running a competition where you could with a goodie bag from Jaya One when you share your favourite car boot booth on instagram. Too bad i missed out on this, but since we're sharing opinions now, i personally love Josh Lee's and Claire's boot. Why? Because these boots really made it felt like it was chrsitmas!

Shopee's booth!
Free Cotton Candy anyone? 
We also had Shopee supporting the bazaar, and they were giving out free cotton candy! YUMS! If you didnt notice, some of the booths had a shopee board, where you will get a 20% off when you purchase anything through the app. hehe.

Overall, i would say that this may be one of the best bazaars which has continuously improved each time they have their bazaars. Be sure to follow Market's Facebook page to keep yourself updated with the next bazaar coming up in 2016. Cant wait till the next bazaar, but as for now, if you want to know more about my purchases, be sure to keep up with my blog for product reviews and more! Thanks for taking your time to scroll through my humble blog.

With love,
