Simbae Pet Care Range

Sabrina Tajudin March 31, 2015 8 comments

Today will be a little different because today I will be featuring a pet care range for you little ones at home! Hey they need some beauty pampering too right. Recently I discovered an awesome pet care range from a brand called Simbae. Simbae is the bae to my cats! haha! Simbae have a lot of pet care range that is targeted to any animal lover and pet owner that love to pamper their furry friend at home. Remember, having pets is not about just the cuddling and feed time, it also about taking care of their hygiene and health. Here I got to try 3 different products from them, first let's have a look of the scent that they carry in their products. *Scent description by them.

Country Grove is a flowery aroma of Lavender, Geranium Neroli, and Green Leaves blended with Lemon, Apple and Mango, built on warm notes of Patchouli and Sandalwood. A refreshing floral concoction that is cosy and comfortable.

Spring Garden is an intermingling of floral aromas Lavender, Jasmine, Lily of the Valley and Violets - balanced with a Milky Powder. This collection collection of fragrant blossoms is the embodiment of love, care and generosity.

Lemon Orchard has refreshing qualities of Eucalyptus, Lemon, and Lime gilded with Rose and Apple scents on Amber and Mimosa notes. An invigorating scent that is cheerful, frisky and spirited.

Any of these fragrance does not contain any Phthalates, Nitromusk and any of their derivative compounds due to their known carcinogenic properties. They are all naturally derived ingredients and definitely safe for your pets. They are certified halal and they does not contain harmful chemical that would not be safe for your pets if they tend to lick/bath them self.

A product specializing for you too. When your pets roaming round the house of course they will leave unwanted germs around your house. The Simbae's Pet Territory Sanitiser (RM34) helps to disinfect your pet’s favourite spot. It has an anti bacteria properties that helps to removes germs without that medical scent to your furniture or home space.. It is simple to use and very convenient. It is recommend to be use around your kitchen, eating area, around toiletry or bathroom. What I do it I usually spray this on my bed and sofa, because there is where my cats love to hang out and where I use to sit around too. Comes in 3 different scent which are Country Grove, Spring Garden, Lemon Orchard. I got mine in Country Grove. It leaves my house smelling fresh too! Love it!

Direction of use : Spray onto surface and leave to penetrate for up to 2 minutes before wiping down with a dry cloth for long lasting sanitising protection. Suitable for all surfaces.

Do you experience when walking in pet shop? If you are not really use to a other pets environment you will smell this uncomfortable "animal scent". LOL. I can't even describe it properly, I hope you understand. Well great news, Simbae Pet Air Freshener (RM35) emits a full bodied fragrance to overcome any smells, this alcohol-free formula can be used to quickly neutralise the air in your pet’s favourite spot or in any space within your home. Comes in 2 awesome scent Country Grove & Spring Garden. It really leaves my room smelling clean and fresh. So now I wont have to worry about friends coming over with that crazy cat lady home smelling kinda thing. Haha.

Direction of use : Best use in Pet Room, near the Litter Box, in your bedroom, on the carpet, or on on their favourite chair. Just simply spray in the air around the room. Let the air freshener penetrate into your pet’s bedding and spray directly into the litter box for ultimate odour control.

Of all three this is by far my favourite one. It is so easy to use and it gives my cats instant care and grooming. This is the Fabulous Fur Conditioner. Simbae’s Leave-on Fabulous Fur Conditioner (RM36) is easy to use, and you don’t need water. It has a natural soothing and conditioning elements of Aloe Vera, Vitamin E and Vitamin B5 prevent itching,nourish the skin and leave your cats or dogs feeling fabulous. I got mine in the scent called Spring Garden. I love it, it has a nice powdery scent. My cats smells like babies now. Haha. You can also choose the one in Country Garden

Direction of use : You can either apply on wet or dry coat, lightly spray and gently brush through the fur while avoiding face and eye areas. This will extend time between baths and with regular use will bring beautiful natural lustre to any coat. But in my case, especially Tubbie, he is afraid of "spray" stuff, so I need to spray it at least 30-40cm away or I just spray it on the comb and then use it on my cats. I love how it keeps my cats hair tame and well combed long hours.

Overall I really love these pet care range. Something that I rarely find in pet store. It helps to keep my cats feeling fabulous, healthy and clean. These pet care range are suitable for any furry friends. Do check them out for more info. Link as below!

How to Reduce Menstrual Cramps.

Sabrina Tajudin March 17, 2015 17 comments

This feeling. Raise your hand if this problem is basically a problem you would face every month! Yes. Menstrual Cramps. A girl thing. From that sweet innocent of us that turns into a Godzilla for a moment. Truly understand. High Five!. I had this problem for years I tell you. YEARS. I knew I'm gonna get it and I knew I am going to go through the pain. Tried everything. From using warm cloth to stretching. It just won't go away. The worst part is when it happen during important days such as meeting people or having an event. Your mood swings and you feel like rolling on the floor. That is what I think. Haha. Some of my friends suggest me to take the "pain-relief" menstrual pills. Which I really don't want to take because I am very skeptical on these kind of pills. I afraid that it will give bad side effect to my body in the long term. So that is why this has been my problem for years. Usually I will just hold on to the pain till it goes away. I have a great solution for you that I am very excited to share.

The Solution to Menstrual Cramp? To my new discovery. The AMMELTZ YOKO YOKO Heat Patch. It helps to reduce menstrual pain by a non-medicinal heat therapy. It will provide stable and safe temperature (40°C) up to 8 hours. It also helps improve blood circulation and effective in pain relief. The heat is activated when it is exposed to air/the sticker is pulled out. It is odorless

Each pack comes with 2 patch. The patch has an approx of 14cm(H) x 7cm(W) in size. The AMMELTZ YOKO YOKO Heat Patch is really convenient for me. What I do is I always prepare 1 pack in my makeup bag just in case on the day I got my menstrual cramp or even get it ready for my friends who have that problem. It is really easy to use too! And messy free.

Direction of use. All you have to do is to make sure the surface of your lower tummy is dry. Open up the silver sachet and take out the patch. The patch it self is made out of a soft adhesive cotton with 2 parts of stickers. Peel off the sticker and paste it on your lower tunny where cramps are usually happen/indicate/where the pain are. Then, you are off to go! Since it is a 8 hours relief patch, I think it is perfect to be worn before going to work (relief during the day) and before to sleep (8 hours of sleeping). Do remember that don't use these patch more than 8 hours.

How it really works? When you put it on your lower tummy (the skin) it start to "heat up". The heat therapy targets pain at its root cause as it helps improve blood circulation. It will warms up on the affected area and then the volume of blood flow increases and it produces vasodilation. Vasodilation increases the supply of oxygen and removal of metabolic waste, which leads to better healing and reduced pain.

Above graphic shows result of the performance test that they run. After performance test, 80% of users said it was effective to relieve menstrual pain symptom and 76% said it was better than their current treatment to treat menstrual pain symptoms.

This is how it looks after 8 hours of usage. The "mixture" (Ingredients: Iron Powder, Water, Activated Carbon, vermiculite, salt, super absorbent polymer) inside the patch actually hardens. Taking it off is not a problem, The adhesive does not pull out my skin aggressively.

Overall & Thoughts. So far, this is my best discovery for my monthly problem. The cramps. I never found a product like this before and I can see that this is a product that I would repurchase every month. A new addition to my "Emergency Bag" where I usually bring an extra pad, underwear, and of course this patch together with me during period days. My feel very comfortable when wearing this patch. It really reduce my period cramp and I love how it gives me this nice warm feeling under my tummy. It is very relaxing. I like to press it against my tummy, and it gives me this "more" warm effect which is really nice. Another great point for this product is that it does not have any herbal-ly scent. Which is a very good thing because I usually put heating balm around my tummy trying to get rid off the paid but it did not which the worse part is that it smells and greasy. This AMMELTZ YOKO YOKO Heat Patch for Menstrual Pain is just the perfect fit for my problem. Easy to use, affordable, no weird scent, effective. Another thing that I recommend is to be careful when using this on days you are wearing dress/jubah. Make sure to properly dry your tummy area first before pasting it on. Or else the glue won't stick nicely. Overall, Recommend!

Medik 8 poreCleansel Gel Review

Sabrina Tajudin March 16, 2015 19 comments

Hello everyone! Trying new products have never stops for me. After completely finish my previous cleanser I am opt for a new one. This time around I am looking for a cleanser that helps on deep cleaning my pores. Since it’s getting more humid here in Malaysia. My pores has been bugging me. So I got a chance to try a cleanser from a professional skincare like Medik 8. Last year I have tried their eye serum which you can read it here - Medik 8 PRETOX Eyelift . Today I am trying their cleanser that is target to help removes oil, dirt and bacteria, provide me with a deep-pore cleansing with a daily gentle exfoliation properties.

This cleanser claims to be a cleanser that works effectively to manage the main concerns of oily skin while providing anti-ageing benefits, with both AHA and BHA acids. poreCleanse Gel contains L-Mandelic Acid, which has been shown to offer similar exfoliation properties to glycolic acid, but without the same level of stinging or irritation which can ultimately lead to superior results and a more comfortable experience.

When it comes to skincare, I love the look of a product that looks “medical” or “lab stuff”. If you know what I mean. Haha. Skincare has to be something that concentrated and targeted to help make skin healthier. So medical look like packaging something convince me. Weird perceptions of me. I love cleanser that comes in squeeze tube too. This cleanser is 150ml. Still got a lot even tho I use it every day since I got it. After years of discovery I find gel cleanser works on me best. I have a combination skin. It is between oily and dry. Gel works best! This cleanser is formulated with no Sulphates, Parabens, & Soap.

This cleanser has a gel to liquid consistency. Although that it is not formulated with soap, this lathers pretty nicely. It has a fresh scent too. I am going to talk about what special about this cleanser that I love. The ingredient it has is amazing. It has this anti-bacterial properties that also helps to reduce the chances of acne. It is from the ingredient called L-Mandelic Acid. Along with that with a simple cleansing routine, I also gets exfoliation benefits from its Salicylic acid that helps to deeply cleanse my pores from dirt every day without stripping my natural skin moisture. Some fun ingredients like Yogurt Extract, Mangosteen Peel Extract & Raspberry Fruit Extract that is reach in vitamins, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and many more!

This is a before and after picture exactly right when I tested it. The before is my “I woke up like this” face. A bit oily and open pores. After cleanse my face looks clean and my pores is blurred out. It is not too dry and I feel my skin is really refreshed. Been using this for weeks now and it compliment with my other skincare stuff. Really works great! Do check out others product from Medik 8 for more professional skincare line. All links are listed below!

Hey guys. What up! I know again and again. No post for a week. Sorry. Super busy as I am about to reveal something soon. Oh my God. I can't wait. The stress I have to face juggling many things in one time just to make sure every thing is in plan. Except for my blogpost. I promise, after this I may post daily. In shaa Allah. Still drafting a few product review in my blog. But today i am going to post something different. Just a casual post that I want to talk for a very long time. As you know I am a big big big fan of IKEA. Literally the only company I want for my home furniture. Just the best! As I drive around town to Tebrau Johor, I saw this building.

This building was build and kindly like "attach" from the Jusco Tebrau City. From what I hears, IKEA is going to open its 2nd outlet around Jusco Tebrau City - source. It has been in the news (around blogs and website) about Ikea is going to open in Johor. Which is GREAT news to me since I already moved to Johor. Is this building could be a good sign? Is it nearly to the real opening? Hm... But the building looks like a parking lot to me. Maybe its too early to judge. According to Vyrec too, that it is not a rumor and it is about to happen. Eeek! I'm so happy! Glad all of these awesome shopping mall open when i already have job. It means I have my own money to spend. Haha! Oh well, just hope for the best! I really want Ikea to be here in Johor. It I happen to have my own home in shaa Allah in the future, I have a nearby Ikea to visit! Oh, meatballs for dinner too! Yums!

***Updated info : Turns out the building is now a Jusco Tebrau City extra parking lot. Not ikea.. :( *Cries*

How to shop & get the best price for gadgets/tech products

Sabrina Tajudin March 4, 2015 10 comments

Be in the internet world and blog about beauty stuff does not stop me from not obsession for gadgets too. I love all sorts for gadgets and all things “machine”. I always in the search for a good camera for blogging photos, a good ram for processor, best price for a new phone in the market or even a good computer with good graphic card to keep my The Sims from lagging. But there is one problem. I seriously don’t know how much the standard price for all these products is. Right now I am looking for a good monitor + desktop computer. As what I already told in my resolution. There is too many desktop computer out there. From monitors to the desktop to each of its features. Sometimes I give up. They mostly wont display it in the web!

So I have a solution for you guys who have the same problem as me. Especially us girls or even boys here reading my post now. Going to each shop and ask for the price will be a hassle. Also most of them won’t layan you one, been there!). Also to avoid get cheated from these seller. Or as I like and prefer to shop online and could not find an online store that sells these. How to? Here is how you can get the best price / compare which product to get. I am going to give an example, "iPhone 5 latest Price".

So when shop for gadgets and all these tech products, the price can really be different from each store you go. It's very hard to compare and sort out. Thanks to my new discovery, PricePanda save me from all of the hassle. So by checking sites like PricePanda or other comparison platforms, can be quite useful to find cheaper prices. Let me show you how you can utilize this site for a better shopping experience. For example, the news feed have been folding with iPhone 6. But I still wanna know how much iPhone 5s is in the market now. The price may vary so here's how to ease your finding.

Easy as how it looks! On top of that, you can also discover shops that offers these offers worry free. All shops that are partner with Price Panda are absolutely legit. You can compare price, what they are offering easily. Compare prices from popular brands such as Apple, Samsung, BlackBerry, Acer, Canon and Nikon, all PC brands too such as HP and Asus. What makes the shopping experience more reliable, is that you are not alone dealing with them, PricePanda will also help you.

Another great features is that some people prefer to have a look forts of what they buy, so PricePanda also extended their coverage to offline stores. So you can compare it first at home and go offline to the products and price ranges they offer.

I hope this post will help as a shopping guide for you! Make sure you purchase the one that you really need, have that knowledge before buying items especially gadget and many more products that in the market. Regret Free, Worry Free! ;) Now I am going to search for my desktop computer, My Sims need it, I mean I need it for work. haha.

Gula Co. Yummy Lip Scrub All Flavours Review

Sabrina Tajudin March 3, 2015 19 comments

Hello everyone! I got an exciting post today. I say that in every post did I? I think every post is exciting. Bare with me! Todaaay! I am going to influence you to shop more. Haha. Oh well. Yes, why? Check out these cute lip scrub! No introduction hey. Gula Co is a brand from Indonesia and now its available to be purchase here in Malaysia from Lipsandcolours. They all sorts of product from Gula Co such as these lip scrub and many more products such as Wet & Wild, Nyx, EOS, Sleek, Golden Rose and many more.

Introduction.

GulaCo. is a brand that carries homemade skincare made with natural, and fresh ingredients. It is safe for all ages and all skin types. No side effect because it doesn't contains artificial colorants, preservatives and harmful chemicals.Yummy Lip Scrub is useful to repair lips' condition and it's also edible. These Yummy Lip Scrub comes in 5 different flavours. Coffee, Ocha, Cocoa, Strawberry & Honey. It last about 2-3 months or until it turns weird (smells something wrong). Make sure you pick up these lip scub wih your hands clean to keep it last longer.

What I like about it. It's different from other lip scrub that I tried. First of all, I love the packaging. The size is so cute. It comes in a 2 layer plastic jar with different flavour design on top. I thin its pretty cute. My favourite gotta be Strawberry. It smells so good and its yummy! Taste like cotton candy! Another thing that I like to highlight are the texture. It's different from any other lip scrub I tried. It is grainy but soft. Its like a powder but not too soft in a way its hard to scrub in. I find that this is more gentle to be use than the one with sugary texture. Writing about this makes me think about eating it! Serious sedap! Price wise, oh come on. Its RM12 each! believe me you are gonna love it. The jar is pretty cute. Looks so nice in my Lip Care drawer. Love it!

What I don't like about it. I think none! I love this stuff. It's affordable, cute, great for collecting, easy to use. What else can I say.

Overall & Recommendation. I recommend you to try these. Try one flavour as a start. Choose Strawberry or Honey if you love sweet flavour like cotton candy. A bit of bitter sweet choose the cocoa & coffee. Love green tea? Try Ocha. When you first got this lip scrub, it will be hard to scoop out as the top part is firmly pack with the scrub. so try scooping it with a small spoon. It's more hygienic too. Cover down your chin with a tissue and rub off this lip scrub on to your lips to avoid messy situation. After that actually I recommend not to lick your lips. Haha. Saliva can cause dryness to your lips. Wipe off with damp tissue or wet wipes then apply lip balm. Now kissy2 that pouty lips. Check out Lipsandcolours for more products info and order.

Smashbox Lippies | Long Wear Lip Lacquer in Knockout & Always Sharp Lip Liner in Fuchsia

Sabrina Tajudin March 1, 2015 21 comments

Well hello there everyone. Let's welcome a new month with a new post! Welcome Chapter 3 of 2015. I hope everything is good! Today I am going to review 2 lip products from a brand call Smashbox. Smashbox is available at Sephora and they offer you lots of different type of makeup. One of their bestsellers are the primer. i bet you have heard about it. Today I am going to review their Be Legendary Lip Lacquer and Always Sharp Lip Liner.

I am into all these liquid lipstick and lip lacquer trend going on. I like a lip product with awesome color payoff in a liquid form. The lip lacquer that I am going to talk abut today is this sexy hot pink shade lippie right here. It is describe as — the new boundary-pushing formula that delivers maximum high-lacquered color with major comfort all day long. Goes on as a lacquer, then uniquely adjusts to a stain for 8 hours of long-lasting color.

It has a vibrant staining pigments, with a glossy-finish pearls. It is very moisturize, all thanks to the conditioning vitamin E ingredient it has in it. For me it is one of the most highly pigmented lip gloss ever. It finishes as a very glossy texture that very long wearing but since it is glossy. It does transfer easily. But! After a few hours, the glossy finish does disappear but it stain my lip beautifully. I love the sharp rectangular bottle it have. I think it looks neat. The applicator are also easy to be use upon application. Look at how gorgeous this Lip Laquer is!

I went to their website and found out this. I love how they have all these different skintone women wearing this particular shade. This way you can actually see wheather it fitrs your skintone or not. Cool kan! This Be Legendary Lip lacquer comes in 20 different shades and available at any Sephora outlets for RM85.00.

The second lip product that I am going to show you is this really cool sharpening concept lip liner. One thing about lip liner is that it is a versatile lip product. You can use it to line your lip or simple Use it as a full lip application product. They usually have a matte finish and I find have higher staying power. But the only thing is that with a small tip, full application is pretty hard.

It is describe as a long-wearing, water-resistant lip liner that self-sharpens every time you twist the cap off. That is why I say it is unique! Out on the cap back, twist it ad it will sharpen the tip itself. A sharp lip liner is a must. So this is very convenient. I got to agree on the fact that it said that this lip liner won’t smudge, feather or bleed. It has this "stick-hold-grabbing" texture to my lip. It really stays perfectly. These lip liner comes in 16 different shades. Retails at RM82 at any Sephora outlets.
