November 2016 favorites!

Hello!
With all the revising I almost forgot to make this blog post. Sorry! It's basically the end of the year already, how scary. November have been so good to me. I'm so relieved that everything for my practicum next year is sorted. In case you didn't know, I'm pursuing to be an Early Childhood professional and I'll start my practicum in January ( working with children ages 3-6 years old). I'm thinking of making a personal blog post " about me" type of thing when I know that there are more of you reading my blog.

Speaking of personal , this month's favorite is mainly personal items instead of beauty favorites. But I hope it's still interesting to read!


1. Bella Rozaini eyelashes

My best friend Bella, kindly gave these lashes to me as a gift. I've been running out of lashes for a few months now because I don't have lashes from Indonesia anymore. They are super soft and easy to put on. It has a thin band that I love but it is durable. They look so pretty yet natural. It's not over dramatic. These lashes are affordable as well. Yes when you purchase them it comes with this beautiful box as well.

You can buy them here https://www.instagram.com/p/BM1Nw6Jjmw2/?taken-by=bellarozaini_perfectnose

They are only RM 8 !

2. Duo eyelash glue (black)

I'm not sure if I've talk about this eyelash glue before in a blog post or not but this is a must favorite this month. I started wearing lashes again and honestly my one suggestion on starting of wearing lashes is get an amazing glue. This glue oh my god. Before I'd use an eyelash glue from Indonesia I'm not sure of the brand, it was alright I guess. But this glue even when I sneeze hard, my eyelash was perfectly fine. It did not budge at all.  I sneeze a lot so this is important. I sneeze a lot because I'm allergic to house dust, how weird? I know. I'm not sponsored by Duo eyelash glue but if they want to, please do !

 Okay I'm too scared to show my duo eyelash glue cause its nasty looking. But this is what it looks like.

Price: less than RM30?


3. Coach Sierra satchel in crossgrain leather 

If you know me you'll know that I'm obsessed with bags. I've been looking for a dome shape bag ever since I saw the Gucci mini dome leather bag in black. But gurl, Gucci is pricy. So I had to look for an alternative and fell in love with this one! It's so pretty and structured? I feel like even after a few years the shape will still be this way. I love the crossgrain  leather on it so I don't have to worry about scratching it. It's a bag that's more mature than most of the bags that I have right now.

Sad thing is, it was a bit difficult for me to find this bag. I went to the Coach outlet in Sunway Pyramid and they told me that because it was last year's item they don't have it anymore in the outlet but I manage to find them online. I was thinking of getting the mini or the ' normal' size sierra satchel but decided to get the normal size instead. I figure that the mini would be too small for me. Let me know if you would like to see an updated what's in my bag blog post.


4. Tony Moly - Banana lip balm

How cute is this packaging? Yeah I bought it for the packaging. But, this lip balm is actually so creamy and it smells so good. If you like banana milk though. I love the applicator on it. I don't have to use my finger or put too much product on my lip. I'll just put enough of it and blend it. Tony Moly is always on point with their packaging.

Price: RM 25


I hope November was good to you as it did for me. Are you excited for December and new years? Don't forget the end of year sales! if you have any question feel free to ask me @blogpostsbyrf on Instragam.

Review on Heimish All Clean balm + What's double cleansing?

Hello! For this blog post I'll be reviewing the Heimish all clean balm and give you an understanding of what double cleansing is and how amazing it is. From being in the AB (Asian Beauty) community I was able to learn so much about skin care . I can finally say that double cleansing (properly ) is a game changer for my skin. I've been wanting to do this blog post mainly for my friends to introduce to them the double cleansing method. This is gonna be a long blog post but please bear with me !

So what's double cleansing? They way I see it is basically having two cleansers. One to breakdown your makeup and another one to clean your face thoroughly. You would want an oil based cleanser as your first cleanser to not only your makeup but also oil-based impurities, including sebum and sunscreen. While your second cleanser can be water based. Whether it's a foam cleanser or a gel cleanser. 

Putting oil all over my face to remove makeup? uhh.. 
Yes! Using good oils for your skin to remove the bad dirty oil. You can get either a liquid one or a balm type of oil cleanser but it is so important to have an oil cleanser in your makeup routine especially if you wear makeup often. I used to have closed comedones all over my face and was wondering why and how come with any skin care it's not going away? Not until I started double cleansing properly a few months ago. This is because I was not removing my makeup, dirt and all that properly and it was all over my skin within layers and layers. 

My first cleanser: Heimish All clean balm
My second cleanser: Neutrogena oil free acne wash 

Now that I've briefly explain what double cleansing is, lets get on with the review!

This is the first balm cleanser that I've ever tried. I'm loving it. I know for sure that I will repurchase this product. This product works similarly to cleansing oils. The way I use it is to put the balm all over my face and then massage it in. You will be able to see that your makeup just melt right off. Whether it's waterproof mascara or foundation they just melt right off. Mix it with water to lather it even more and then wash it all off. 

The first time of using this product I can feel my face being so clean and soft. I would use a micellar water before using this balm cleanser to remove my makeup and I'd feel as though my face is still not clean even after cleaning it with my foam cleanser. That's probably the cause of my closed comedones. Although I've tried an oil cleanser before I'd prefer using this cleansing balm over a cleansing oil by Hada Labo. I heard that this cleansing balm is better than the famous Banila Co clean it zero. I can't compare to it because I've never tried it myself. 

I've been using it for a month and I'm just going through it half way. But! I wear makeup and use this almost everyday. If you are looking for a cleansing balm or an oil cleanser to try. Give this one a try! 

Price: RM59
