Hello, friends!

Today I am going to share a quick first impression review of a local cosmetics brand that I've finally tried out recently called the Sofwanah Cosmetics. Albeit being aware of the brand's existing since the beginning of their launch and eyeing on their products, wanting to try them out; I managed to stop myself because let's be real:

Annyeong, friends! 

How familiar are you with skincare terms like AHA, BHA and PHA? If you are a beauty junkie like me, you should notice that these terms have been used more often in many newly released products these days. My earliest recollection of how AHA and BHA fad started was when Paula's Choice products with the same ingredients started to get really known among skincare lovers for their effectiveness on Reddit. Soon after, the K-beauty brand COSRX started to boom internationally as they started to be known as the more affordable dupe of  Paula's Choice products. I know this from early on because my brother is actually a really long-time COSRX fan, around the time when their international fanbase was a small group of people in Reddit, and the packaging was still totally basic. At that time, only God knows how hard it was to purchase K-beauty products in Malaysia too. Now, after a good four (or five) years, there are so many AHA BHA-based products out there available for consumers at different price tags. With the PHA joining the trend this year, I'm sure they are making some of us scratch our heads trying to find out their use of them. But no worries, here I am to make your life easier! 

Hello, friends!

In today's blog post, I am going to introduce you to another new brand called Formula 10.0.6. Some of you might have never heard of this brand before as it is fairly new in Malaysia but Formula 10.0.6 has actually been around since 1933 in the US! Pronounced as Formula 'Ten-O-Six', this brand's main focus is on addressing skin care concerns, especially for trouble-prone young skin. Their US website showcases a wide product range including both skincare and body care but so far, Formula 10.0.6 Malaysia has brought 12 products in and just released another four new masks this month.

As a makeup and skincare enthusiast, quite a few people have asked me what is that one versatile product that I need to have on my vanity? 😎To be honest, my answer varies from time to time but in a lot of cases, I often mentioned that an aloe vera gel is one of the must have beauty item by everyone. Why? It's a multi purpose product with a fairly simple ingredients list (less complicated)that is affordable and most importantly; works like wonder. In the recent years, this fact has been proven even truer when the aloe very gels started to turn into a total craze, especially among K-Beauty lovers. 💕
