SOME BY MI Snail Truecica Miracle Repair Serum Review on ACNE SKIN

Hello peeps.

I haven't posted reviews for the longest time here. Procrastination takes over, or am I just losing the motivation to restart my makeup & skincare reviews? Anyhow, I'm just gonna share my review of Somebymi Snail Truecica here. 

Disclaimer: All of my reviews are unpaid & unsponsored unless stated (unlikely lol).

I bought the SOME BY MI Snail Truecica Miracle Repair Serum because of one advertisement from Youtube (I am sure you guys have watched it too) and to be honest, I was pretty skeptical about the product. The ad shows a set of progress pictures of a young woman with serious dented/textured/box scars on her face during the course of using SOME BY MI Snail Truecica Miracle Repair Serum.

As far as I am concerned, we really can't fix dented scars with topical products but I tried it anyway lmao.

Claims: 

So the product claims to help skin regeneration and repair skin damage with Black Snail Extract and soothes/repair skin barrier with Truecica. And of course, scar removal. It also has Niacinamide & Centella Asiatica Extract as their ingredients, which are proven to be good for acne-prone skin.

Ingredients:

Below is the link for full ingredient list from Skincarisma;

Texture:

It has a light & creamy texture that does not feel heavy when used with my skincare routine. It also smells like a medicated ointment and reminds me of Apieu Madecassoside cream. 

Verdict:

So, I have been using the serum for three months and I have taken a quite liking to it because I see good results on my acne-prone skin. It does soothe my skin & clear my hormonal breakout. However, I could not say the same to my deep acne scars. Although the dented scars are still prominent on my skin, I can see that my overall texture has improved greatly for just over a month! 

You can see the progress below & I'll be sure to update once I've finished the whole bottle, (since they claim it can repair your scars with one bottle) til then, goodbye!

Catrice Illuminating Serum Primer Review

These are my honest thoughts of Catrice Illuminating Serum Primer.

So today I tried to use this primer under my Loreal Infallible 24hr foundation & I was hoping that it would work like a miracle albeit it's too good to be true considering that the price is dirt cheap. However, I was actually disappointed by the fact that my skin couldn't take it. What did I expect anyway? Not even after 5 minutes. Sad.

It is true- well, what people said about how your face will glow and shine and all because mine actually did- at a price. At first I felt itchy around my nose area and it was getting bad that I had to wash off my makeup less than an hour later. Sad.

Not to mention that it smells really bad like a bug (dalam bahasa melayu orang panggil kumbang tahi but in all seriousness I don't know if the bug is called kumbang tahi lol). Do you know that there's a flying bug that releases a horrible smell once it decided to rest on you? Or your stuff? That's. The. Exact. Smell. Sad. Again.

I'll pass. I believe that this is a good primer to some but definitely it's not for me. Sorry.

Maybelline FIT ME MATTE + PORELESS Foundation REVIEW

FIT ME MATTE + PORELESS Foundation.

I've always wanted to try this and then when I saw Malaysian drugstores started to put it on their shelves I couldn't be more estatic! The reason why I didn't buy this online is because I don't really want to spend extra USD18+++ to ship out flammable/ORM-D item. I have no idea why most of Maybelline or Loreal stuff are flammable- even their mascara.

I bought mine in the shade 235 which is a little darker than my normal foundation shades. I've also been told that 230 is the perfect shade for NC35 but that particular shade wasn't available at my local drugstores at that time. I tried to swatch 220 but it looked.. off.

Guardian has it on sales for RM44+ instead of RM49.

My thoughts on the foundation:

1. Scent: No noticable scent or weird smell. Just your normal, average foundation smell.

2. Consistency - The texture is thick, BUT really smooth & lightweight. It really doesn't feel like I'm wearing any foundation at all.

3. Coverage - The foundation is matte, blendable, and it gives a buildable medium-to-full coverage that is perfect for daily use.

4. Verdict - I am really impressed with this foundation after using it for a few days. I wasn't expecting much but it does exceed my expectation! 10 points to Maybelline! It provides a little to no oxidation (although I am not sure if it will on your skin but it didn't on mine, different skin = different reaction) It also hides my imperfection really well. It does not accentuate my dry patches or give me a very 'matte' or powdery look despite the matte formula. I still can powder my face without worrying that I would look overly mattified. It also does a great job in hiding my fine lines & pigmentation- although I still have to dab a concealer to cover some of them but I see 'less texture' on my face. Yes. Betul. I had some outdoor errands to run few days ago and the foundation stayed on around 7 hours despite the heat. Not bad. The only thing that I hate is the shade. 235 buat i nampak merah. 😂

I really recommend this foundation if you have oily skin. ;) #maybellinefitmemalaysia
