MURAD Nutrient-Charged Water Gel and the new Outsmart Blemish Clarifying Treatment Review

My skin condition changes based on the environment and hormones. If you are following my instagram , I do posted some of the skin care updates;  favorite products and routine , time to time. 

My current skin condition is T-combination dry. Acne always pop up nowhere without warning and at any condition. Therefore, choosing the right skin care is important to achieve glass flawless skin. Acne  probably because of the hormones. Since I live in Malaysia, a tropical weather year around with  high humidity due to proximity to water, I definitely need moisturiser for my skin after one whole day torturing exposed to sunlight.  

MURAD Nutrient-Charged Water Gel
It is claimed as Intensely hydrating oil-free water gel contains revolutionary Cumulative Hydration-Release Technology that instantly locks moisture to skin and increases retention for up to 5 days*. A nutrient-charged blend of peptides, vitamins and minerals strengthens the skin’s barrier for plump, smooth skin

It is one of the high raved product among the insta-influencers, youtubers and bloggers. It is also included as "insta-worthy" products for insta-influencers, and I know many of us are keep questioning whether if they are actually worth the hype or just aesthetically pleasing on the feed.  

Before we move on, let's be clear that , this is not a sponsored post yet the items were sent to me for honest review. Opinions are fully my own, but please bear in your mind, the products might work differently on different people. 
I've been using this MURAD Nutrient- Charged Gel for couple of weeks now and the level of satisfaction is 10/10!  My skin drank it up without breakout! (Awesome! I'm giving an A++ for that. This is because most of moisturiser would make my skin breakout) . It is now become my skin's favorite drinks, a part of the rose water. This moisturizer  has decent scent , which makes me feel good using it.  It absorbs VERY QUICKLY onto the skin without feeling greasy ; that means I use every day and night.  Based on my experience, It's very hydrating and makes my skin plumpier . If you are asking me whether is it worth the hype? Absoultely YES! The gel doesn't stress on my skin and didn't cause any break out. 

MURAD Outsmart Blemish Clarifying Treatment

It stated as "Medicated lightweight gel serum is clinically proven to reduce overall acne in just 1 week. Salicylic acid combines with lysophosphatidic, hydroxydecanoic, sebacic and glycolic acids in Penta-Acid Technology to clear skin of acne-causing bacteria, oiliness and blackheads while minimizing dryness and irritation". 

I'm going to list down the important points or Obvious differences:

1) Pores are smaller, less blackhead

2) It helps to stop pimple from forming. - which is so awesome!! 

3) I haven't seen any pimples since using this product

Does it worth the hype? YES YES YES!! 

I believe this is a total  new product and it is not been known in the

The only concern I had in my mind is to re-purchase the product once its empty cause now I feel I couldn't live without it! This is one of the skin care products with high efficacy come with a higher price tag. In contrast, it's worth to splurge.

HOW I GET RID MY ACNE? Blemish Control 30-Day Kit Review (Malaysia)

Some people would have mild acne with  few blemishes. They may have whiteheads, blackheads, papules, and/or pustules (aka pimples). Many people can treat mild acne with products that you can buy without a prescription. A product containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid often clears the skin.Yet, for a bigger problem is ACNE PRONE. 
For moderate to severe acne, you may need oral antibiotics to reduce bacteria and fight inflammation. People would normally buy any Benzoyl Peroxide products to reduce the size of acne. If you have minor acne, it might works for you, but how if a city of pimple turn up on the skin? It is very painful plus emotional disaster! 

I was known with flawless face, or local normally called dahi licin. I normally would get acne once a month during the women monthly period. Right after the session ends, my face would clear up left nothing behind. However, hormone does changed. 

I've tried few products and some work great on me. Recently, right before the wedding, my face was almost full with acne. They just turned up without any greetings and happily stayed about a month or longer. It's kinda frustrated because the hormone changes and I had no idea how to clear them up! The big day is nearing, my face is still full of acne, and bunch of things need to be done! What should I do? 

Luckily , there are few things I've been given opportunity to try. Thanks to some sponsors specifically Hermo, for understanding my situation. I didn't request any from them but with their concern, they sent me a thoughtful package a month right before the wedding. 

What I have done  to reduce acne? 

ETUDE HOUSE Play 101 Pencil Review and swatches.

MY TOP 15 MAC EYESHADOWS

I am kind of addicted to MAC eyeshadow. Started with New York Trip. MAC eyeshadow in NY is pretty reasonable. Each of the refill pan only costs RM 33 each (10USD) and the palette itself with insert (the shape) only RM 33 / 10USD. Incredibly cheap! My MAC eyeshadow starter kit was only started by buying  Mulch, All that glitters, soft brown, expensive pink , satin taupe and Sable (6 eyeshadows) and  a 15-slot palette. Total 70 USD excluding tax. Meanwhile in Malaysia, one empty palette with the insert costs RM 200++, and each of refill eyeshadow costs RM 50. Imagine if I buy 6 eyeshadow plus one palette, that would cost me RM 500++!!! Phewww~ READ MORE

ETUDE HOUSE HAUL! RM 5 only!

Hi ladies,  FEEL LIKE BUYING SOMETHING ESPECIALLY MAKEUP BUT HAVE NO MONEY? I just found an interesting sale happening in Etude House Sunway Pyramid. I am not sure with other outlets.  I know many of us are broke in this month due to Raya festival plus GST! Seriously, I am also effected! I changed my punctured tire and it costs me RM 200 inclusive GST (spent roughly RM 15 just for GST ) Argh!! Anyway,lets back to the track. I haven't spend anything for myself this month since I've invested and paid all of my billssssssss! But as a woman, my hands are itchy and wanted to buy something! Something here meaning MAKEUP babes. haha. Makeup addicts are just born as a shopper!  I just walked into Etude House Sunway Pyramid and did my "window shopping activity" cause they are having BUY ONE FREE ONE ITEM sale.  but my eyes caught to one special "clearance items" corner and I immediately asked the salesgirl, how much is the blusher and eyeshadows cost? Surprisingly, she said: SALESGIRL: Blusher is RM 10, eyeshadow is only RM 5. 
ME: Are they discontinued products?
SALESGIRL: yes, and they are slow selling items too because they are too pigmented!
ME: Really? (I was thinking, it is true, most of Malaysian doesn't like pigmented eyeshadow, they enjoyed subtle, light-kind of eye makeup look. ala-ala korean gitu)
SALESGIRL: Some are manufactured in year 2015 and some are 2012. 
ME: Not bad. It's time for me to experiment Korean makeup!  So I grabbed all of three eyeshadows and one blusher. All cost me RM 25! Visit Sunway Pyramid outlet if you are interested to buy these cheap eyeshadows and blusher.  SHORT REVIEW EYESHADOW (RM 5) Glitter light pink ( Shining Pink Tiara)   Great for highlighting part, but the glitter sometimes could be annoying!  Glitter Orange (Glittering Tangerine Pendant) Very subtle pigmentation, great for those who want to create Korean eyelook. Very glittery and shimmery. It also could be annoying and need to use finger for application to avoid fall out.  Matte Brown ( Cafe Latte) The most worth eyeshadow! Great for blending, matte, very pigmented and a dupe for MAC soft brown. Everyone need to get this!  BLUSHER (RM 10) Raspberry Tarte A soft barbie doll pink cheek color. It's kinda doll-kawaii pink color. Suits for fair complexion.
