Mu Touch Shower Cream and Body Lotion


Hello everybody,

this is Mu Touch, and I happen to be given some of their products, from the shower creams in several variants to their body lotion.

The variant are unique and some smells so good, my favorite is their honey series.

-*-


Secret anti-aging and longevity. Green Tea plays an important role for Japanese women to look younger and have a long life.
The benefits of Green Tea extract :
  • Very rich in antioxidants
  • Protect the body from free radicals which damage body and skin
  • Prevent the skin of aging
  • Naturally healthy

-*-


Each ingredients emphasize on the key feature, for me, since it's a shower cream, I don't really gain the full benefits from the key ingredients, so it's pretty much just bonus or added elements to the clean skin feeling and the non drying formula.

They are pretty much similar one to another, in terms of lathers and cleaning the skin but still feels comfortable. So the differences are mostly in the color of the creams and the scent of each variant.

-*-



The details are listed on the packaging, whether it's pouch or pump bottle.

-*-


Concealed secret moisturiser with anti-aging formula which Egyptian women have proved its usefulness for more than 1000 years ago.
The benefits of Royal Jelly & Honey:
  • Contains 134 nutrients, including minerals amino acids, Vitamin B1, B2, B5, B6, C and Folic Acid.
  • Amino acid in Royal Jelly is the basis of Collagen, the essence of which keep the skin firm and away from wrinkle
  • Prevent pigmentation
  • Good moisturizer for harsh environment

-*-


Royal jelly and Honey has the most sweet and fragrant that me and my family love, it's just perfect. The creamy gel lathers on easily on the skin and cleans well, and like said, it's the scent that we love the most, seems like it is also the highlight of the product.

-*-


Aside from the shower creams, one lotion is given to me in English Lavender and Rosemary variant.

-*-


Among all kinds of Lavender, English Lavender is the best. English Lavender thrives at elevations above 3000 feet.
Blend of English Lavender & Rosemary flowers produce luxurious and tempting aromas that will take you to a moment of relaxation that soothes. The delicate aroma will make you always fresh.
Blend of English Lavender & Rosemary flowers are good anti-oxidants and refreshing

-*-


The lotion is white and creamy, it appears thick but it was actually so smooth and a bit runny, my husband really like the texture and using it daily. I don't really like the scent, I guess, it was a make or break for me. As scent can be quite personal, the texture itself is a pleaser. Perhaps, if I was trying their Royal Jelly and Honey collection, I'll love the lotion even more.

-*-


Last but not least, back to their shower cream collection.

-*-


A blend of mulberry fruit and pearls will make the skin look healthy and youthful. Benefits of mulberry fruit fused with pearl powder:
  • Brightening skin, make the skin look radiant
  • Anti-aging
  • Sun protection
  • Relaxing
  • Improving blood circulation
-*-


The scent is rather fruity and a bit exotic, it's unique and a bit oriental. This is a shower gel that I can use on daily basis, while the Royal Jelly and Honey for special occasion and as a mood booster. Their scent doesn't last long, but they definitely make my bath time more enjoyable.

Thank you so much Mu Touch for the lovely products that me and my family enjoy everyday. The shower creams lathers beautifully and cleans the skin with soft and silky effect. The body lotion is my husband favorite and for sure, I'll try the Royal Jelly and Honey Body Lotion soon.

Lush Shower Jellies


Hello lovelies,

Christmas is literally around the corner and I just can't wait for those moments. It's a mixed between moments of holiday, taking a break and best of all, family time and really just enjoying those moments with your love ones.

-*-



And as weird as they sound, somehow for me, Christmas has that specific scent, it's a bit sweet like berries but warm too, with a bit of vanilla and cinnamon, or perhaps something that a mix of all, it reminds me of a good ol' days. It reminds me of home and being together.

Lush, once again, in their seasonal products are here with the Shower Jellies, Santa's Belly and Snowman to be exact and Refresher, which is a family favorite all year long for it's super citrus scent.

Now, let's meet them one by one.

-*-


Snow, snow good
Wibble and wobble this snowman-shaped shower jelly all over your body. He's made with a refreshing and sweet scent, and we've added buchu, bergamot and Sicilian lemon oils for an extra mood boost. Seaweed and glycerin help this glide over your skin, leaving it soft, clean and smelling as fresh as a sunny winter's day.

Crush a small bit of jelly into a shower pouf to create a rich lather, or rub it right onto your body. Rinse clean and enjoy your soft, scented skin.
Do you smell carrots?: We've included carrot infusion for its lovely cleansing and nourishing properties.
Self-preserving: This jelly's made without any synthetic preservatives like the rest of our Christmas range.
Gift the fun: This one's the perfect uplifter for anyone who's feeling blue.

-*-




First of all, it's the longest bunch from these three. The rest are just simply in a similar form. Not really the same but similar, as the white one is much bigger. And yes, I put them on plate on the image above as they are so slippery and wet. There's no way I can hold them without jiggling :D

Each has their own characteristic, like so lemony fresh, white as snow and big, or golden berries like santa's outfit.

-*-


Crisp apple jelly
This deep red jelly is full of Christmas magic. Star anise infusion, and fresh apple and grape juices are blended into the soft seaweed base to brighten and cleanse skin, and for their sweet, fruity scents. Biodegradable golden stars are sprinkled throughout for a dash of happiness. Keep the whole jar in the freezer, then bring it into a hot shower for a stimulating and refreshing apple-scented lather!

Freeze! We suggest keeping your jelly in the freezer and taking it out when you're ready for a stimulating, refreshing shower.
So White: Santa's Belly shares its fresh apply fragrance with So White Bath Bomb.
No worries: The glittery golden stars are completely biodegradable.

Oh this one, it's no end in loving shower jellies isn't it. They smells super fresh, irresistible texture that made me want to hold them all day long, like playing but also cleaning at the same time. If I took a while taking a shower, it must be the shower jellies, and having a bunch of them is like bringing joy whenever we took a shower haha!

The whole bathroom smells so good and holiday mood is in the air. It is indeed so much fun.


-*-




Get in a lemony lather
When it's nice weather for ducks outside, head straight for the shower with this lemony jelly. Inside, an explosion of fresh organic lemon infusion, lemon oil and organic lemon myrtle will blow the blues away. To get your skin really going, leave your jelly in the fridge and take it out only when it's time to shower. The rush of cold will send blood pumping to the surface, delivering a super-refreshed feeling.

Crush it into a shower pouf to create a rich lather or rub directly on your body. Try freezing (or chilling) first for an especially cool, refreshing shower or bath experience. Shower jellies also make great shampoos and add lots of softness and shine to hair.

Get ready for this jelly: Put it in the fridge for a refreshing jolt any time of the day.
Lemon, lemon, lemon: We've packed tons of lemon into this one for a truly invigorating zing!
Sea what? Carrageenan seaweed extract helps give this gel (and your skin) a super-soft feel.


-*-

Just look at the ingredients, the texture, and I wish I can send you the aroma, it smells really good, any of them smells ultra delicious. The natural ingredients cleans the skin and hair too with the utmost lovely scent possible that lingers. And they never made my skin dry. So it's perfect for winter too.

-*-




One thing for sure, in terms of safekeeping, it is always best to keep them inside the tub so they stay as wobbly jelly as long as possible.

What more can  I say, I love them to the max!

Anna Sui Eye and Face Color

Hello lovelies,

these are Anna Sui's newest collection of eyeshadows where it has many varieties and finishing, from matt, shimmery, sparkly, to pure sprinkle of glitters.

-*-


I happen to have some from Anna Sui and has been playing with it for a while.

As the product is not just classified as eyeshadow, it is an eye and face color, so I can use them as contour, highlights, blush on, or when mixed with a bit of water or petroleum jelly, it could be for painting the face, it was wonderful.

-*-


I have 6 from the angel heart collection, the colors are so pretty and I could never say no to pastel.

-*-



And the collection also include one collection with balmy texture, it can be used for the cheeks and lips too.

-*-


Below is the swatches from the image above.

-*-



If unicorn owns a few eyeshadows, these must be it.

-*-



And here are some of the mixed collection from their iridescence, duff, to glistening and balm texture.

-*-


And I've tried using them from daily natural look, nude, glamour to a bit of autumn mood.

-*-


The colors are fun to be played with, they do have some fallout a bit but it doesn't stop me as when mixed, it somehow create a new color.

Plus, the one that was said for the lip and cheeks can also be used on the eyes too, it add dimension to the whole look.

-*-


And the packaging of the pallet? Super duper pretty.

-*-

Here are some of the look I made using the 12 monos.

I've used them as blush instead of eyeshadows too.

-*-



One shade that I think need to be really careful when used is the black one, it is so intense and every grain could create a total mess.  Always use the softest brush for that one.

-*-




From romantic, playful to dramatic, the shades works together and just irresistible.

-*-



And since the palette is magnetic, I simply mix and match them for every trip, so it's definitely the one thing I have to carry during traveling.

-*-




I love how soft and delicate the powder is, but at the same time, can be quite intense.

-*-



Thank you so much Anna Sui Indonesia, they are beautiful.

Neutrogen deep clean hydrating Cleansing oil to foam


Hello lovelies,

especially you makeup addicts, who have to wear makeup on daily basis because you simply love makeup.

As many makeup are made to be waterproof nowadays, cleansing oil has been one particular product that just got to be available in my bathroom, it just has to be there.

Since I'm using it on daily basis, I began to search for more products that speaks cleansing oil as it cleans without fail. One brand caught my attention with their product, it's Neutrogena.

-*-



Like any cleansing oil, use some on a dry 'dirty' skin filled with makeup, gently spread and massage the skin with the 'oil' like texture.

The product will be apart from the skin almost immediately.

-*-

Add a bit of water, and this is where the magic happen. Unlike most cleansing oil that turns milky, it turns into foam like cleansing foam.

-*-


Massage the skin with the cleansing foam just like when done with the cleansing oil and rinse everything off. The skin will become clean and not at all slippery like using cleansing oil, it will be like after using a cleansing foam. Clean but not drying, that's one of the best part of the product as well, it doesn't make my skin squeaky dry like a floor.

-*-


This is the perfect product for those who are looking for a clean skin from makeup like cleansing oil and the fresh liberating sensation from foaming facial wash. Either way, it is a win win situation.

But I do still recommend you to use a eye and lip makeup remover for a super waterproof product that usually made for the eyes and lips. Plus their formula are made for those sensitive areas as well.

-*-



The product is available in three variant, mine is hydrating, there's brightening (in pink) and fresh for oily skin (in blue).

I got mine from hubby's recent trip to Singapore and I don't think it's available here in Indonesia.

-*-


Thanks for reading my post.

Pixy Lasting Matte Lipstick


Hello everyone,

I'm back with a review for Pixy, this is their Lasting Matte Lipstick.

-*-



The packaging, container, even the shade of the lippies are pink this time. It's very girlie and shiny too. But the product is said to be matte.

-*-


The shade for this one is Cherry Cherry. It's like a bright coral pink hue.

-*-


Seen from the swatch the product is not highly pigmented, the texture is rather light and suitable for those who are looking for a natural sheer lippies with a demi matte finish.

-*-


The product doesn't have a good long hours of staying power, hence constant reapplying is needed, and every layer of reapplying also add the intensity of the color.

Since the lipstick is easily transfer, do be careful when using and it bleeds a little to.

-*-


Still, if you're looking for a budget friendly lippies that feels comfortable on daily basis, this natural looking lippies might be for you.

The shade option is not that wide, but popular shade selection is here.

-*-



Thank you Pixy for sending me this lippie.
