Best body whitening product!

Greetings!

Ever searched all over the net for reviews on body whitening? Tried all sorts of whitening products but don't see the effect? Wasted so much money and get nothing in return?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, I may just be able to help you.

I didn't do any of the above things if you were wondering.

I stumbled upon this by chance and many of my friends were asking what's your secret to having fair skin.

I would be lying if I said that I was born fair.

I wasn't! I most certainly was not fair!

I was the brown, tanned baby and then I became the brown kid. I wasn't exactly brown but people described me as that. Even when I was in high school, no one ever said I was fair. I repeat, NO ONE!

But then life changes and when I entered college, everyone said I was fair. Guess what? Even my parents said I've become so much fairer!

Sorry for my very lengthy story and all. Let's proceed, shall we?

The product that I most certainly swear by its whitening effects is

Beauty Shower Foam!
I always purchase the ORANGE PEEL



As I mentioned earlier, it was never an intentional decision for fairer skin. I just always use this because I love the smell!


I don't even know when the effects will kick in for you, but it certainly did make me fairer. I started using this after high school and before college started. Probably in like 6 months. But I think the effect was clear after a month or so. Then again, effects are different for everyone. But I'm just sharing my secret.

Let me reveal how cheap this is:

Pack Size & Price

Pack Size West M'sia East M'sia 250 ml (Bottle pack) RM 5.90 RM 5.90 600 ml (Refill pack) RM 8.70 RM 8.90 700 ml (Bottle pack) RM 14.90 RM 14.90

Reminder: I only use this for my body! Face whitening product shall be revealed on my upcoming post! Stay tune!

Thayers' Alcohol Free Toner: Rose petal witch hazel with ALOE VERA formula

Greetings!

Hope you don't mind the long title ok?

What I'm about to review now is the effectiveness and the awesomeness of this toner!

Seriously, I've not used many toners, probably because of the ineffectiveness and so on but this toner here changed my mind!

Why?

I'M OFFICIALLY FREE OF BLACKHEADS!


You might not think much of blackheads. You probably think so what? Well, let me tell you about my blackheads. These recent years, I have developed stubborn, like excessively stubborn blackheads on my nose. There was no solution to it. My nose looked like a strawberry, an ugly one! I tried so MANY methods.

Previous methods:

• Biore pore strip ( which works wonders on many but not me!)
• SexyLook Blackhead Remover Set ( claimed to work better than the Biore for many but again, not for me!)
• Steaming face then apply blackhead remover mask
• Steam face then squeeze the blackheads out

None of the above worked for me/ :(

Reason I bought Thayers:  I read about Thayers, but I didn't buy it for blackhead purpose though. I bought it coz I read reviews that it was a darn good TONER!

So, yea. I purchased 2 bottles of the rose petal ones and the only regret I have is not buying more!

Experience:

Day one:

Skin felt absolutely fresh after applying. Didn't feel the need for moisturiser anymore.

Day 2:

Blackheads were greatly diminished, I couldn't believe my eyes!

Day 3:

Blackheads were completely GONE!

Conclusion:

Blackheads are gone for GOOD!
Moisturiser is not needed anymore!


P.S. I have dry skin, but after using this, my skin has changed to normal and I no longer need any moisturiser!


I am so very very happy with this!

Pictures of the toner will be uploaded soon!

Autograph by Danny Choo

Greetings!

I just attended the Culture Japan Night Penang 2013!

Main reason why I went was to meet Danny Choo! I read his blog and I watch his show Culture Japan which I really really love! 

I got my wish! 2013 is certainly a good year!

I got to meet Danny Choo, get his autograph & even took a picture with him.

Here's the awesome autographed card!

I had my mom in line with me just so I can have another autograph!

I got so extremely nervous when I met him! He shook my hand and I became so nervous and so very very happy! Like seriously, I couldn't even smile properly!

Bought some stuff but that would be under another post!

Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay

Greetings!

Update: it is now available in malaysia. Just head over to http://www.facebook.com/pages/Aztec-Secret-Indian-Healing-Clay-Malaysia/617873748227758

My review on this can be found here!

As everyone else probably knows, this aztec clay is not available in Malaysia. I mean, even if it is, you can probably get it only through the online option. No other option really. Ebay and amazon sellers for this clay do not ship to Malaysia. Even if they do, the shipping cost probably kills.

So.....

How did I manage to get it?

My sis is currently residing in Beijing, China which is like THE place for everything! Absolutely anything and everything can be found!

So, I asked her to get one for me. She got me the 2lbs one for RMB141 including shipping to her place. Thing is, I haven't actually seen this thing in real life but I did ask my sis to take pics of it. She did! And so, feel free to look at the pics below:

Best part? They gave some free gifts. My sis couldn't actually describe what the free gifts were which was why she sent me these pics above!

I have no clue what the thing in the blue pack is but I can certainly tell that one of the free gift is a spoon. Awesome! Just what I need since I read reviews and all bout this clay and one very important rule is that you should never mix this clay using metal utensils which again is kinda a problem since all my spoons at home are metal. Thanks to this free gift, I no longer need to purchase a spoon. 

the catch bout this is that I'll have to wait till my sis gets back for me to actually use this clay! No worries as she's coming back real soon. And there, I saved on shipping!

Will definitely do a review on this once I get it and actually use it.

Plot

Set during the Shilla Dynasty, "King's Dream" follows Kim Choon-Choo & Kim Yoo-Shin, who destroyed Baekje and brought about the golden age of national culture in the Shilla Dynasty.

Kim Choon-Choo played by Choi Su Jong.

Honestly,I didnt like the part where they use this actor to portray as a 20 something year old in the beginning. I mean, the real actor is born in like 1962 and he does look good but only as an adult of his age. He looks really old when playing as a 20 year old. My bro said it's probably coz of budget. They couldn't pay too many actors since the show itself already has like so many actors & actresses. No other complaints regarding this actor. I do love his acting. It's good!

Young Kim Choon-Choo played by Chae Sang-Woo.

I liked this kid's acting. I love the part where he always wanna help out Yusin. I just love shows bout best friends who won't betray each other and remain loyal and such. 

Kim Yoo-Shin played by Kim Yu-Seok.

I absolutely lovc his part whenever he always runs to Choon-choo's rescue. He's always there when Choon-choo needs him. Seriously, I love their friendship. No other friendship can be potrayed better than theirs!

 

Kim Yoo-Shin played by No Young-Hak

I fell in love with his character when I watch this actor act. He is so into the character, I don't really know how to describe but he makes you wanna watch his acting. You keep wanting to watch his parts. Too bad the childhood part was so short. Didn't get to see more of him. :(

Queen Sundeok played by Hong Eun-Hee ( currently still princess, not queen yet) 

One word! Pretty!

Omg like seriously! She's so pretty. Why didn't they cast her earlier? Did you know that her part wasn't played by her before ep 19? Her part was played by Park Joo mi before this but she got into an accident and hasn't fully recovered so they found Hong Eun Hee as a replacement. I'm so glad they did! She totally fit the character!

Queen Seungman played by Lee Young-Ah

Omg! She played her part so well that I hate her so much! I mean, I hate her character. She's so good! She acted in Baker Kim Tak Goo previously and she didn't really showed much of her acting skills there but this show, she really proved herself as a darn good actress!

Queen Moonmyung played by Lina   ( currently still just Munhui, not Queen yet )
She's really pretty! I'm surprised that this is her first time acting. She plays her part really really well for a first time actress. Her character is Yusin's younger sister. Her love for Choon choo is just so overwhelming. I didn't like her at first for ruining the relationship of choon choo and his first wife but as the story progresses, you just can't not love her. She took care of Choon choo's first wife's daughter as if she was her very own even when she already has her own son with Choon choo. Her character was also the main reason why Choon choo came back even after going through all the injustice in the royal court.



UPDATE: I have watched up till episode 36. Can't wait for ep 37! Would like to share a lil spoiler. From ep 33 onwards, Choon choo's kids are all grown up! I was a lil disappointed that his first son Beopmin isn't handsome. I mean, they cast such a gorgeous actress to play his mom, so why is the son like that? I don't really remember which episode but there's a character much more hateable than the Queen has appeared! He's Bidam. The WORST!!! Watch this drama to find out more about how despicable he can be. Also, from ep 20 something, the Queen was exiled, so yea, no news about her anymore.



Yeonhwa played by Hong Soo Ah & child Yeonhwa ( i don't know this actress' name, SORRY!)
Most people probably don't know Hong Soo Ah but if you watched a variety show named "Heroes" you'll definitely know her. Anyhow, she was a cute and innocent kid. But when she grew up, she became a very revengeful young woman. She swears that she will have revenge on Bidam & also Choon choo & Yusin. She wants to avenge her birth mom, the Queen & also Bihyeong but I actually don't get her. She's in love with Beopmin.


Bidam
Remember how I was saying Bidam was so hate-able? Well, this guy here is Bidam. He's so power crazy that he would endanger his country rather than lose his power and rank. My god, he was Choon choo's mistake. If only Choon choo didn't ask for his help to get rid of the Queen. It's like bringing a tiger to kill a wolf and then that tiger subsequently betrays you and eat you up. Yup! That's this guy's story. He wants Yeonhwa! Hates Choon choo like hell!


Beopmin
This is Beopmin. Yeonhwa's lover, Choon choo's son. He's pretty much liked by everyone except his younger brother. He acts rashly all the time. Great fighter though. He used to be so cute! Btw, can't find the child actor's pic, so, i can't show you guys how cute he is.

That's pretty much what I feel like typing anyways. Seriously, there are so many characters that I feel too lazy to type about. For more info, visit http://asianwiki.com/King's_Dream

Will continue to edit this post from time to time about the other characters!
