Dove Deep Pure Facial Wash

Dove has never been my beauty essential list, given that their hair shampoo wrecked me and my sisters’ hair, I really don’t want to touch it again. I did use their body wash and find it okay though…

So yeah, my initial experience with Dove’s hair shampoo/ conditioner isn’t really great, but ksuan from belle demoiselle said it worked really well and I had to try something new (actually I just wanted to buy something to satisfy a weird shopping urge), that I pop by the nearest Watson and bought it.

Now this cleanser is pretty confused about it’s identity. Is this a scrub or is it not? To me, no matter what the description says (refer to picture above), it doesn’t qualify as a scrub. At least texture wise. No scrubby bits but it lathers into a thick, dense creamy foam that’s really a delight to use! If you have used before Shiseido Perfect Whip Foam, well that’s the kind of foam you are looking at. Maybe a touch silkier and denser.

It has this really nice soothing scent which reminds me of clean morning breeze. And after cleaning my face with this, you’ll feel refreshed. I think the scent is playing with my mind.

Goodbye My Love: Etude House Happy Teatime Peach Tea Cleansing Foam

Dear Etude House Happy Teatime Peach Tea Cleansing Foam,

When I just got to know you, my first impression was “Why is your name is such a mouthful?” As the day goes by and we got to know each other better, we both agreed to just call you Peach Tea, since this is my favourite drink for hot humid days.

You always smell so amazing, with a lovely peach scent (duh, of course!). Just by sniffing you already make my dullest and gloomiest day seem so much better. And not to forget I smile every so often just by sniffing you.

You are such a delight to use because you foam up easily and you clean my face well. I love the squeaky clean feeling although at times you do leave my skin feeling a little tight. But that’s alright, a moisturizer will fix things immediately.

A Creamy Cleanser: Antipodes Hallelujah Lime & Patchouli Cleanser

Posted on June 15, 2011 by plue

I’ve got oily skin, so I like my cleansers to give my skin a fresh, clean feel. Of course, not overly fresh till my skin is dry and flaky Over the years of using different cleansers from various brands, I have come to love foamy bubbly cleansers that smells good and cleanses my face well.

How does this one fare? It’s certainly not foamy nor bubbly, it’s just creamy. And it’s of the lush creamy sort. It comes in a heavy sturdy glass bottle, which I don’t mind leaving it in the bathroom, but for travelling, nay, it might break and spill. There’s no lock or anything on the pump itself, so this is a big no no for travelling!

A creamy, exotically fragrant cleanser that’s the perfect preparation for your skin.

A base of avocado oil gently removes impurities while carrot seed oil promotes skin that glows with good health. Highest quality essential oils of lime and patchouli work wonderfully to cleanse, freshen and uplift.
