Beauty Product Review: Daiso Make up Brush Cleaner

Assalamualaikum and hi everyone. 

This gonna be a very short and quick review okay. Who said a CHEAP and UNPOPULAR make up brush cleaner is not worth it?? U guys better check that again. Yesterday, I came across this make up brush cleaner. Guess where it come from. Yes ! DAISO. One of the cheapest store that sells everything for RM5.30 per pc inc GST. haha

So, when I went back to my hostel after a long day, I wanted to try this make up brush cleaner. I want to see how good it is. Actually, I buy it without reading any reviews. This is the item as shown below. I think this make up brush cleaner is available at all Daiso store. Since I can found it in Kota Kinabalu which is sometimes it is very hard to get some product that is available in West Malaysia. 

Picture from Google

It is 150ml and only cost u RM5.30 inc GST. Cheap isn't it?? Even the drugstore product cost more than this. So, as a student, this is quite convenient. hehe I tested this on my dirty Marshmallow Puff by Too Cool For School. I used this blender to blend my foundation. Here is the photo of the test I did yesterday. 

The above picture shows how dirty my blender was. The bottom picture is after I cleaned it using Daiso Make up Brush Cleaner. It really cleans my blender so well. Since my new make up brushes are still not arrive, so I can't test it yet. Soon insha-Allah. 

Instruction: 

1. Damp ur blender / sponge with water. 

2. Put few drops of Daiso Make up Brush Cleaner onto ur blender / sponge. 

3. Gently massage and rub ur blender / sponge with both of ur hand. 

4. Rinse ur blender / sponge thoroughly. Squeeze ur blender / sponge few times to make sure there is no more cleaner. 

5. Pat ur blender / sponge with towel and let it dry.

Skincare Review: Safi Balqis White Trilogy

Assalammualaikum and hi everyone. Currently I'm busy with my internship. Thank God  I will finish my internship in 2 weeks time. Okay, today i would like to give my personally opinion and review on 'my-used-to-be' skincare products. So, we gonna talk about Safi White Trilogy !

First of all, u guys must understand that i don't simply buy skincare product. I will do hours of researches and read reviews. Sometimes, it takes me 2 weeks to consider that 1 particular product. Yes, I'm that kind of lady. 

The reviews is all good and positive and encouraging I must say.So, after I did my research and all. I decided to buy it. Lucky me, that time Guardian 1Borneo was having a sale. Most of the skincare product was  15-20% less. So, I bought Safi Balqis White Trilogy 2 in 1 Cleanser & Toner and Safi Balqis White Trilogy Day Cream. I think I got 15% off for both items.

Safi Balqis White Trilogy 2 in 1 Cleanser & Toner  

Safi Balqis White Trilogy Day Cream

These are the 2 items i bought. Btw, the other reason i bought these products is because it is budget friendly. Especially for student like me. I have a normal skin type. Rarely have acne except when I'm super stress. U guys can notice the pimple on my face at the end of semester (due date for project is approaching !). Yes, I am blessed with less problem skin. But, my skin can gets dull and dry if i don't use appropriate skincare. 

The functions of the cleanser & toner and the moisturizer:

• Opens up pores
• Cleanses from within
• Protects from UV rays
• Lightens skin
• Lightens pigmentation
• Evens out skin tone
• Retains moisture
• Softens skin
• Smoothens skin
• Skin appears flawless

At the first week I used the 2 in 1 cleanser and toner, I'm loving it. That product really save a lot of my time. I don't need to apply the toner after I cleanse my face. I just need to apply the day cream. The cleanse & toner have a gel consistency with micro beads. After I wash my face with this cleanser, my face feel fresh, clean and tight. Then I apply the day cream. The day cream have a heavy cream consistency. It feels a bit sticky after i applied it on my face. As for the functions mention above, I didn't see any changes it makes to my skin. Just make my face become drier. 

I personally don't like sticky feeling on my skin. Even for body lotion. It just make me feel uncomfortable. But I keep using this day cream and cleanser+toner for 3 months. As day pass by, these 2 product makes my skin dry. I mean super dry okay. My skin become flaky and I can peel off the skin. Can u imagine it??! My skin hardly become dry whenever I try other skincare. 

I keep using the cleanser+toner until its finish. I would definitely will not trying / buying these skincare anymore. This skincare just not suitable for my skin. Other people will have different opinion and result. This is just my humble review and result.

Food Review: Pasta Pasta @ Gaya Street, Kota Kinabalu

           Assalamualaikum and hi. I know i have been neglected my blog for so long. Yes, it is my fault. I'm so sorry about that. I will try to update regularly as possible. I'm writing in English because i want to improve my English. It's not like my Bahasa Melayu is already perfect, i just want both of this language equally perfect. Hope u guys can support me. 

          Okay, this is my FIRST food review EVER !! *shoking face* I choose to review this restaurant in Kota Kinabalu because i spend almost 3 years now here. ( I'm studying in UMS laa). Insha-Allah, i will be graduating soon. Back to our topic. This restaurant is call Pasta Pasta located at Gaya Street in middle of Kota Kinabalu town. It serve only PASTA ( as it says on its name). 

        Since it is located at Gaya Street, its quite hard to find parking space in daylight. But its easy in night. Its open from 11am until 9 pm, 7 days a week. When you are in Gaya Street look for a black signboard written Pasta Pasta that have 3 circles with the colours of Italy flag. This restaurant is in the same row with HSBC bank. So, if its so hard for you to find the signboard, just look for HSBC bank.

        I would say this restaurant is like a fast food franchises, the only different is its serve pasta only. haha pretty lame. yeah2, I know. You won't find any other Italian cuisine. Trust me. This restaurant does not serve any PORK or ALCOHOL. 1 thing you need to know about restaurants in Sabah is if the restaurant display 'SERVE NO PORK OR ALCHOHOL' that's mean many muslim sabahan will eat there. Insha-Allah, it is HALAL. 

It's a small restaurant

        The pasta only cost *drum rolls* RM6.50 !!! Super cheap for pasta dish. There is not GST (Malaysian is so sensitive about GST now). When we went there today, there is no customer. Maybe because it is in evening (around 4.30pm). The restaurant use paper bowl to serve pasta (fast food concept). 

CJ's choice.

          Upon entering the restaurant, you will see a big menu board with pasta, sauce and topping columns. Yes, we can choose how we want our pasta. So, this will make many possibilities outcome. I had Linguine Pesto with meatball, meanwhile CJ had the 'normal' Spaghetti with Tomato Sauce with Beef Bacon and Mushroom. We have to order it at the counter. Btw, they only have canned drink and instant coffee. After few minutes, the pasta is ready and have to self collect. Yes, it is SELF SERVICE. You have to take your pasta, cutlery and drink just like any other fast food restaurant. 

My pasta choice.

         Actually, this is my first time eating pasta with pesto. I like it ! I like its taste. I can taste the herbs but not too overpower the dish. The meatballs is SUPER tender. The only thing I don't like is the pasta a bit oily. I also tried CJ's pasta. Surprisingly, I don't hate it. Yes, I hate pasta with tomato sauce because some places will have a very sour taste. The portion is quite okay. Not too little and not too many. 

        I really recommend this place to everyone who is in Kota Kinabalu or visiting Kota Kinabalu soon. Its very convenient for those who in hurry to grab lunch or dinner. You can Google more about this place.
