DIY White Fungus Serum/ Mask

Hey guys, training is over for me. yippie. And now I'm just slacking around at home lol. Hence, I decided to try doing this DIY white fungus serum/ mask/ exfoliator that I saw the other day.


 I always do DIY toners, scrub, bla bla bla but this is the first time my attempt on DIY serum lol.I was actually inspired by Queenie to do this. 

White fungus is said to have the functions of brightening, hydrating and it has healing properties that could calm acne prone skin. If your skin is quite sensitive, I suggest you to try at the back of your hands first before doing this :)

Lets begin:

I couldn't really find a big petals white fungus, so I bought the one which are already cut. Do buy the ones which are yellow in color as the white ones are bleached and is really bad for the skin.

Put it in a warm water for about 30minutes to clear out the impurities. Squeeze and  keep changing the water until water becomes clear.

no no to yellow water

clear water means clean.yay

Separate the fungus from the hard base.

You should have something like this.

Prepare a pot and add water in it.

 I prefer having more of its benefits in the water hence I put the fungus to cook in 1/3 pot of water. Cook till the fungus in the water is boiled then let it simmer for about an hour.

Next, separate the fungus and the water 

The water is our precious serum!! :)

Let it cooled down for a bit.

At the meantime, the base that we have we can use it as a natural exfoliator. 

BEWARE!!! 

What you are about to see is yours truly naked face. LOL

Buff the base around the face like so, around your cheek, your forehead,chin and don't forget your nose. Its good for acneprone skin as it could combats irritation. Wash off and pat dry.

The leftover of base could be also used to scrub your body and you can pop it back into the fridge and it should have a lifespan of a week.

Back to the cooled down serum. We should prepare some clean containers to put our serum. 

Also, prepare a dropper for easier transfer of the serum. You could use spoon or any other tools as well, but I think using droppers will make it less messy :)

There we have it!! Our own homemade natural serum!! 

Remember to put them in the fridge as it has no preservatives. This will also have a life span of a week

It also could be use as a mask. 

For Face Mask

Just pop a paper mask into the serum

Haha pardon my stupid face. nyek

For Eye mask

Cut half of a cotton pad

Cut into a half crescent moon shape

Tada! Red Riding Mask muahahahhaa

For Lip Mask 

Sorry kinda scary I know lol

Beauty comes from inside out. The leftover? Just pop in some brown sugar and you are ready to get a healthy white fungus soup. Its full with collagen and consuming it for the long run could reduce fine lines and also wrinkles.

nom nom nnom

Well, that's it. After posting so many ugly pictures of mine, I shall post a more cuter and nicer picture to end this post bleh. 

Have a nice day 

Love,

Jess

Urban Decay Naked Pallete

My friend help me to picked up something in Sephora Singapore the other day, the naked pallete.awwww I'm beginning to fall in love with this. The color is of neutral color and this is so my type. You can do almost any look with this.Awesome.

left handside

right handside

However, they did not produce the eyeliner in this pallete anymore as it is very time consuming. It comes with a brush which looks like this

I still haven't use this yet and I guess I will do a review and swatches of this when I had free time. Hectic work style is condemning me. Haha. But I guess this is quite old stuff where everybody should already seen the color or probably had already own one of this. 


They keep out of stock in Singapore so I couldn't have a hand on it for quite some time and I was overjoyed when Sephora Sg posted that it has this arrive the other day. lol


Do stay tune for the next review and swatches. Until next time

Lipgloss fans

Saw something really tempting a few days back...

Sooo my theme lol

Guess I'm gonna picked this up soon *wink wink*

Review: Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream

To be honest, I don't really like to wear bb cream because it gives too much promises in just a bottle. I'm a person where I think every product should work individually. Just like shampoo and conditioner in a bottle, which I really hate, as one will works well and the other will not. The same things goes to bb cream where moisturizers,concealers,foundations,sunscreen all is being lump-sum together. I know its really convenient and all, but to me, I don't like it and I'm very skeptical with what bb cream could do.

However, I heard alot of people raved on the Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream so the other day when my sister went to Korea, she picked up one for me to try. It comes with only two shades which are number 21 light beige and number 23 which is the natural beige. Hence, I chooses 23 as I am more to a natural color. The Missha BBcream is said to heal visible wrinkles and blemishes and prevents skin aging through effective whitening and anti-wrinkle properties. It has spf 42 pa+++ which I think its the highest spf level that I found in a bb cream. 

Coverage: It is kinda thick consistency but it has very good coverage and could easily blend into the skin. Half a pump is already sufficient for the whole face. The only thing about this bb cream is that it has scent to it so people who are haters for scented bb cream should probably avoid this.


My opinion: To me, I don't think this does its job. Plus, it oxides on me like crazy. I look super dark in the afternoon with this product. Also, my t zone tends to get really oily too. I try to set it with a translucent powder, but it is still the same. 

Packaging: For the 50ml tube, it has like a pump to it which I think its really convenient as you just pump out the amount that you need and you could travel with this easily without worrying you would pump out the product as the pump is secured by a cap.

I'm not sure about the price though but I guess its roughly about MYR 80. I'm not really sure why people love this so much but I personally dislike this. Although it could easily absorb but I still feels there is something on my face which I really hate this feeling.lol But as I said, every individuals is different and this is a totally missed for me.

Review: Vitacreme B12

I had finally hit pan on the Hydrationist which is a marvelous moisturizer but then I decided to try on the Vitacreme B12 Regenerative Cream instead.  I got mine in 50ml which is the 1.76fl.Oz.

The ingredients.sorry my camera failed me.

They claimed that this helps to prevent premature wrinkles and soothes damaged and stressed skin. Plus, it also helps to relieves the burning's sensation after a prolonged exposure to the sun and helps accelerates the normalization of the skin. Could be use as a day&night cream as well as a makeup base.

It comes in like a very old school tube and which you have to pierce it open with back of the cover. And it kind of reminds me of the toothpaste where you have to squueze out the product every time you use it.lol

The cream is in pink in color and it has like a really light floral scent to it and I have to say I love the smell. It is very soothing.


 I am really amazed with this cream. You only need a little bit of it and just massage until the product is fully absorbed into the skin. I uses this cream for abt 3weeks now and it really leaves the skin feels remarkably soft. Plus, my skin feels really plump and hydrated.I read from other reviews and they claimed that this cream helps to reduce scar and also minimizes pores as well. I can't really see mine now as maybe I just uses it for like 3 weeks. But I am really excited to see the results in the near future, if any.


I don't think I will change this after hitting pan on it as I guess I just found my HG moisturizer. Will definitely repurchase it.
