REVIEW: Dear, Klairs Supple Preparation Unscented Toner


Klairs' new product has launched and this is suitable for those who sensitive with scent. We called it as Version II, it is the non-irritating toner that rejuvenates and restores the skin.



Made in Korea
180 mL
USD 21.99 | RM 128.00


FEATURES


The deepest soothing hydration.
The Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Toner balances the skin's pH level and improves the effectiveness of the entire skin regime. With various plant extracts and soothing ingredients blended together, Klairs toner is calming, non-irritating, hydrating for all skin even for the most sensitive.

Fast absorption and full moisture.
The skin glows brighter with high moisture retention. Prescribed with an upgraded moisturizer, it rapidly absorbs into the skin while prolonging hydration by more than 20% than conventional toners with hyaluronic acid and beta-glucan.

PACKAGING


It is actually made from a same material like previous version but the only things that changed are the ingredients and the bottle itself.




As you can see from the photo above, Version II's bottle is in purple and the cap is silver. One thing that amazed me is when I can see the content of the toner inside. They have small cute bubbles and I wondered if Version I had a same thing too lol.





TEXTURE


Left: Version I Scented Toner
Right: Version II Unscented Toner




It's pretty much feel the same if you put it on your hand. But the texture is actually has a slight different. Version I is "thicker' than Version II and I personally think that someone with oily skin is more suitable with Version II.






When you applied it on your face, it feels "lighter" than Version I (Scented) and I really like it. When they claimed it to be unscented, I actually doubt it because I can still smell it. Well, probably not as strong as Version I but there is still "scent".

Those with green fonts are not available for Version II Unscented Toner. Those are the essential oil in case you are wondering.


THOUGHTS


I actually like Version I more since I have zero problem with the scents. I think the scent is very calming. Since I have two versions of these babies, I used the scented during Night and Unscented during days. This is because the texture for Version II is lighter than Version I and my face is more comfortable wearing "thin" layered texture.

The unscented toner which excluded all essential oil is recommended to people who are sensitive to scent and also suitable more to someone with oily skin because of the texture.

The original toner, Version I, the scented one is recommended to people who like the natural oil scent and thats me.

In term of hydrating, dont worry. It is very moisturizing and easy to apply on your face. The most important thing? This didnt break me out.


PROS AND CONS


Pros:
Lightweight.
Good ingredients.
Unscented.
Deep moisturizing.

Cons:
Probably not suitable for dry skin.

#4 Wondermilk Made Me Go Real "Wonder"



Yesterday, I had an appointment with my dentist, Dr. Fauziah nearest Publika and all went well. I recently had my wisdom tooth removed and it was a very painful yet satisfying process because now I won't longer will tolerate with pain.

But, that's not the real reason of this post.

As you can read from the title, I went to this one cute cafe called WONDERMILK after the appointment ended. I heard and well-aware that this store is famous for its cakes! Unfortunately, I'm not into cakes. I was googling on "Publika Cafe" and WONDERMILK was one of the suggestions. I should give it a try, don't you think?

To be honest, I was looking for Switch Cafe but I couldnt find the cafe. They didnt provide much information about it. 

Anyways. as soon as I entered the cafe, it was cute. Tons of cute cupcakes displayed in front of me.

Now, the major turned off I encountered was when I sat on the table and there was no menu. Yes, you should go order at the counter but that's so annoying. It is obviously not anxiety-friendly kinda place. For someone with panic attack like me, this place is terrible. We have to stand still at the counter, reading all the menu while other customers waiting patiently behind. For me, they should at least provide menu on the table and as soon as we made our mind of what to eat, then we can hurry go to the counter and say the food's name. That's gotta save a lot of time.

I decided to take their recommendations because as a first timer, we should at least eat what they recommend lol.



Bing Bong Burger: RM 14.90
Sir Alfredo Pasta: RM 19.90
Hot Caffee Latte: RM 8.50


The pasta presentation was flop. There was no veggies, just plain pasta and the turkey. The burger, on the other hand, was really appetizing. For the pasta, it tasted blend and creamy. It is made with house cream sauce with turkey rasher. You can choose beef rasher too. My opinion, I didnt like it. It tasted awful and the fact that no veggies? Major NO. At least steam some broccoli or carrots aside, make it more presentable and colorful.

My sister's burger, fortunately, tasted wonderful. The bun was soft, the meat was 100% homemade patty! Juicy, savory and party in my mouth. 

For the drinks, I gotta try their coffee and I chose hot Caffee Latte. Well, not as good as other cafes but I still approved.




For the cupcakes, I forgot the full name but from left to right were salted caramel, unicorn and egg eclair. I think the price was RM 4+ something. Maybe more for the egg eclair. (I'm sorry!). The small glass bottle behind was WONDERMILK's Butterscotch drink. That, my friends, taste awesome!

So, WONDERMILK really made me go wonder because of their food. The price might be overprice for some of you but unfortunately I had a bad experience with this cafe. The food was not as good as their cakes but I'll give them a second chance next time lol. Especially the pasta. Maybe I will something else.

Here are the menu for yeah ... maybe for your future reference.

REVIEW: 3CE Milk Cream | Brightens Dull Skin???

This wonderful cream was received last year and I had't have a good opportunity to write a review about it. Now that I feel slightly better and back on my work space, I could finally write my honest thoughts about this product.

3CE is a high-end makeup from Korea and you can easily spot this brand in any Sephora stores. I received this from PUTIHTALK for winning their giveaway contest long ago and I still am using this product.


PACKAGING



Price: RM 152.00 | $35 USD
Directions: Use as the last step in your skincare routine.



Korean never fail to impress me with their cute ass packaging. It's in white color (my favorite) with cute milk box image in the middle.






When you opened it, you can see the pure white cream and if you bring it closer and smell it, gosh, it smells like milk and i really obsessed!



TEXTURE




Thick cream, but when you apply it on your skin it smoothly glides against and i like the smell of this product as well.

The purpose of this product is to brighten the dull skin as a one-step solution for clear, milky skin. target blemishes for pure complexion with this moisturizing milky cream by 3CE.

Milky Finish With Extra Pureness

HOW TO USE


They did provide the guideline on how to use this product but just let me;

Makeup: Basic skin care routine > 3CE White Milk Cream > Sunblock > Foundation

Skin Care: Basic skin care routine > 3CE White Milk Cream

Just make sure to apply the cream at the last step of your skin care routine, okay?



THOUGHTS


When I used this for a first time, I could smell the light milk scented and I kinda like it. The texture is what they called 'melting texture' is just like the other ordinary creams out there. The texture is thick and it can feel heavy on some people. 

Please be careful and make sure not to scoop this product too much. A little dots can already brighten your skin.

I usually used this on-the-go when I'm in hurry which means I dont have time to put any makeup on because it really does help brighten my skin tone a little. In other words, if you feel lazy you can just use this instead because I personally think this has a same effect as CC Cream.

If I have to wear makeup during the day, I'll skip this step because it can feel quite heavy on you. So, for those who are busy working, maybe you can try this during weekends. You can try experiment with it since our skin's condition is different.







Can you see the crazy different? I was shook. So, what is the status of this cream exactly? Is it a skincare or is it a makeup product? 

3CE White Milk Cream is a dermatological tested skin care product. You may use it at the last step of your skin care routine or after a moisturizing cream. It really does brighten my skin tone right away and helps me to achieve younger look as an anti-wrinkle function (crazy!).

You can use it anytime you want but for me, i prefer used this during day. If you wanna wear this during night, you can leave it overnight without the need of cleansing.

Overall, I really like how it brightens my skin tone immediately but after a few long hours, you can see the oiliness. Since I have a combination skin, this might be a problem but it wont be a huge problem after you covered it up with powder. I also found out that you can use this in other body areas like knees, arms, elbows or other parts you want to bright up. So far, I only used this on my face!

It does give moisturizing to my skin because i dont feel dry when wearing this and there is no makeup (foundation) patches everywhere.

The only problem encounter for this is it might not be suitable for someone who has darker skin because when you apply this, it will make your skin turns ashy. Bummer!


PROS AND CONS


Pros:
Smells like milk (i love it).
Brightens your skin tone.
Also a good moisturizing product.
Can be apply to other body parts.

Cons:
Not suitable for darker skin.
Oiliness after more than three hours.
Might feel greasy for oily skin.
Not travel friendly.
