Chien's Holy Grail List of 2013

So because 2013 has just ended, I thought of compiling a list of my HG selections from the products I've used from last year.

Take note that some products is already reviewed while others are not. I will try to blog more despite this busy schedule of mine. I am so glad that most of the products I have added in my HG list are accessible and affordable.I am still slowly building my HG list, and I am still on the lookout for facial scrubs, moisturizer, lotion etc.

Okay before we take off, what is HG?

HG means Holy Grail -It pertains to any product that you will always come back to because you cannot find anything better. A product you will buy again and again. A product you will not let yourself run out of. 

On me: Fashion 21 two-way cake foundie (Shade #2), Etude House Fresh Cherry tint in Peach, Sparkle Lens in Black

MAKE UP
Best powder foundation for any skin day! Yes it does not matter if it is a good or bad skin day, I just love this foundation. Shade 1 and 2 is lighter than my face but perfect as it makes you picture-ready, while shade 3 is good for oh-so-normal days of mine (school, OJT...) and shade 4 might my sister. She has a slightly darker skin tone than mine, but overall if I would look it, Fashion 21 doesn't really offer a dark shade. Their darkest shade can still be considered as natural.
  • LA Colors Mascara
No clumps, no fall outs and lengthens lashes. Need I say more?

HAIR CARE
  • Avon's Advance Techniques Frizz Control Lotus Shield Anti-Frizz Treatment
Tames my frizz in an instant. Sometimes it can make my hair oily if I by any chance I applied more than what I need.

SKIN CARE
  • BL Cream
This is not a beauty product but hey! This is something worth repurchasing. It clears my occasional pimple breakouts and skin allergies. Not good for long term use because again, it is not really considered as a beauty product.
  • Kojie san Dream White Soap 
After  my misfortune with a whitening soap, Kojie san comes to the rescue. This soap does not just whiten but can also correct any dark spots left by skin allergies and bug bites.
Definitely my favorite body scrub because it does not just exfoliates, it can also whiten! I've proven this to work within just a week. This spells LOVE.
 I am never going back to plucking and shaving. Contrary to what out other sissies have tend to believe in, using cold wax to remove hair involves less pain (even pain free if you are used to it).
 The most affordable acne gel I came across with. Awesome breakout buddy, coz meeeen~ it works!
Cleans as it moisturizes skin. Hoping to try its facial scrub and moisturizer counterpart soon.

A local product that simply works. Squeaky clean face any time, every time. :)

I am still looking forward for more beauty products to try this 2014!~ (I am so AFNSGMHMHMW, excited!) Dear sissies, I hope you can also share your HG list with me! :)

Review: Yoko Yogurt Spa Milk Salt


Summer is ending too soon.Why oh why?~
We will all be saying hello to more traffic jams on the opening of the classes. LOL. Anyway since there is nothing we can do to stop the time, let's just enjoy the days left before school days!

Today I want to share with you one of the products I consider HG in my beauty regimen. I am not a big fan of body scrubs before but I already use face towel/ bath cloth and soap to exfoliate, yeah the traditional way of scrubbing. :)

Did you know? "Exfoliating your entire body can help prevent body acne in many places below your neck, such as the chest, back and arms. It also might help you avoid ingrown hairs by preventing dead skin cells from plugging up follicles where you've shaved or waxed. And it can help even out skin tone and keep your skin hydrated and soft." Read more: HERE.

Now it is really important to do a body scrub once or twice a week. So while shopping in Watsons I came across this scrub. Packaging and promised benefits is quite similar to Abonne salt scrub but I chose Yoko  instead.

What Yoko Yogurt Spa Milk Salt promises?
Yogurt Spa Milk Salt is for skin whitening, enriched Vitamin E, natural salt benefits, protein from milk and yogurt. It provides nourishment to your skin with Milk and Yogurt. It also removes dirt deposit and dead skin cells from your body, giving you a new and radiant skin.
It is manufactured by: Siam Yoko Co.LTD, made in Thailand!
 Ingredients: Sodium sesquicarbonate, sodium chloride (NaCI), milk, Vitamin E, Glycerine, Olive Oil,Yogurt extract, Vitamin B3, Collagen


My Experience:

Yoko Spa Milk Salt is my very first salt scrub. I am fond of taking long baths so using a scrub does not make much difference in my bathing time. I tried the Pink Yogurt variant and it smells like candy for me. The salt is pink and quite grainy. Sometimes I hurt myself if I make a mistake of scrubbing harder than usual or if there are sharp bits of salt which is usual.

I had scars on my arms from chicken pox and I thought that since this is a whitening scrub it can help in diminishing those scars. I really don't know what exactly I was thinking before but I use it on my arms on 7 consecutive days. On the 7th day I realized that the chicken pox scars is about 95% gone. Definitely not magic but it worked! I was surprised and since then I included this in my HGs. I didn't use moisturizing lotions or soaps during those 7 days. I am not really recommending my method since it does hurt and dries skin but it's something I did that gave results. Although Yoko Yogurt Spa Salt is drying it will still give you fresh, soft and smooth skin every after use. Nowadays I already use lotion to add in moisture.


How I use it: I lather my triple whitening soap then I apply the Yoko Spa Salt scrubbing gently in circular motion. I let the salt sit on my skin for about 5 minutes then I rinse it off.

How much: P68 in Watsons and P36 in Divisoria and Unitop for 300 grams. I can swear it's the same product despite the price difference. :)

What I love:
  • The candy scent
  • It simply delivers its promise!
  • Affordable and effective

What I don't:
  • The packaging because the zip lock doesn't work on spa salts. It won't close properly so I use clothes pin (sipit) instead! haha :)

Will I buy again?
Yoko Spa Salt is in my HG list. I am going to try their other variants as well. I am finished with cucumber and milk and both were as good as the yogurt although of course yogurt will still be my favorite.

Yeorebun (everyone) what product are you using as body scrub? Let me know in your comments! :)

September Watsons Haul

"Wingardium Leviosa~"
I love Harry Potter the movie and this is my favorite spell. Haha. :)


I dropped by in Watsons last Wednesday and got a few necessities for my 'Me time'. Haha :)


1.  Yoko Cucumber Spa Salt -the green variant of my favorite Yoko salt scrub. It smells sweeter than the yogurt variant, it smells more like candy.
2. Golden Fabulous Coconut Milk Shampoo and Conditioner -a repurchase, I noticed that both are more watery now and scent was a whole lot different than before it was pulled out from Watsons. I guess they reformulated or they have done cost-cutting. Too bad for a really good product.
3. Purbasari Lulur Mandi Putih -another scrub similar to Asian Secrets Lulur Whitening Body Scrub. It has a really strong smell.
4. Shower Cap -My first Watsons shower cap. I just bought a hair spa tub and I definitely need this.
5. Pair of Scrub Gloves -I think I'm becoming obsessed with scrubbing, but this is handy if I use a moisturizing soap.

To my lovely readers, don't hesitate to comment if you want any of this reviewed. :D
See you on my next post!
