Johnson's Body Wash

I always feel that Johnson's is one of the most trustable brand. Have always been using their bodywash back home in Malaysia, so when I come Melbourne to study I still look for Johnson's. And its cheap!

My boyfriend start to buy this extra-rich moisturiser bodywash because it was on discount. It's about $3 a bottle.


I think my shower dramatically change. The bodywash is so thick! It's as thick as lotion but not oily or anything. It feel so good on the skin and because its so rich, often I skip putting on lotion after that.


We often try to stock up when there discount because the original price is about $5.99 a bottle which is rather pricey compare to other Johnson's bodywash.


Can't wait to try this Oat Milk and Almond one!

1,2,3 skincare

I went wandering in David Jones, Myer and Priceline in the city today.

David Jones and Myer are full of the make up I want - NARS, Becca, MAC, Bobbi Brown, Too Faced and many more. While Priceline have more affordable stuff like Covergirl, Max Factor, Bourjois, Rimmel and Ecotools! I think I have extre resistance today since I didn't but anything.

No make up to talk about, we shall talk bout skin care. Not like I know jack shit about it haha.


I have been using this 3 for a while. I know I am already breaking the skincare rule, using one same range. I uses different range and brand.



I actually start using the whole Clinelle range first recommended by my dermatologist before. I find the cleanser is the best among the 3, so that the only thing I keep using. It cleanse well and lather nicely.

After Clinelle reformulate, I change the toner to The Body Shop and I love the Tea Tree Oil Toner which I wrote about here before. However the weather in Melbourne is a little dry, now I'm worried it might be too drying for me. I feel that if give me less pimple.



I started with Clinelle moisturiser which is not moisturising enough for my skin leaving my cheek and lip area really dry. So I tried Biotherm and damn it is good! Not oily and yet moisturising enough. It absorb quickly too and don't leave any filmy oily-ness. However its a lil pricy...

Thats it I guess, I still have pimple, white heads and black heads. How do people get flawless skin?

The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Facial Toner

I don't think I ever had great skin. Especially during stressful occasion, tiny pimples keep coming.

I was previously using Clinelle Facial Toner. They change their formula and honestly I don't really like their new formula. I don't know its me or what, the toner feel sticky after I applied compare to the old formula. I also felt that I start breaking out more.

So I went hunting. The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil range caught my eyes.


and this toner was awesome! Ok I know its scary green colour.

It stings a little when I first use it, now it don't and I think my skin is much better or so I hope. It give me the refreshing feel and yes, it does have a lil tea tree oil smell. Doesn't really bother me. The price was alright too since Clinelle toner is about RM30 bucks too.

Now if only there are ways to get rid of white heads...

Lanolin Cream

I think I am starting to get addicted blogging about makeup as much as stalking makeup blog. It's fun ranting and trying and taking picture of it especially I have more time now, waiting for school to start.

I was buying some supplies for home yesterday and saw this.


Lanolin Cream, once my bf's mum give my one tub and it was pretty good for my skin. My skin especially my leg area is horrible, I got rashes and eczema like nobody business. I have also tried many time of lotion and my skin will itch or I will feel oily and uneasy. I have finished the first tub and never get to buy one since Lanolin cream is mostly available in Aussie or NZ.


Since its only $2.90 aud, I can help but get it and try it out. The tub is extremely huge too!

The cream is very thick in general. However it its not too oily, which is good since I hate putting on cream and feel like I have slather some butter on myself. Have been using it for two night so far, will see if its any good as the old one.




Beside that, now I'm in Melbourne, I could finally try out Covergirl and Max Factor. Woohoo. Time to eat less and save money.
