FRUIT OF EARTH COCOA BUTTER with aloe and vit E

ola....and hi again, today i would like to review on one of the fruit of earth product, the cocoa butter enriched with aloe adn vitamin E skin care cream..
i got mine almost two month ago at Urban Fresh in Setia City Mall when i was doing my internship there. i was looking for a moisturizer actually when i bumped into this.
so here is what it looks like:

 basically it is a multipurpose cream to relief dry skin which if you live in air-cond you will know what i mean. it was around RM 14-Rm 15 when i bought it and it contains 113g of product. its a cruelty free product which is a plus. it also can be used as a after sun moisturizing cream.

here are the ingredients list of it and a lot of the ingredients are good for moisturizing and for your skin.. it is somehow in thick consistency but not as rich as a body balm or body butter.. it has a buttery sweet smell and it is quite strong but once you put it on your skin, the smell will fade away.. i will not advice to use it as face moisturizer because it will leave that heavy feel and if you have a dry patches on your face, use a little amount of it and just targeting on the dry patches. i use it for the after sun treatment and it helps a lot in soothes and calm my skin down..i use it as a body moisturizer and it works amazingly.
i also use this at the ends of my hair as a hair mask sometimes and it does help to moisturize it.
overall, this is a must have if you are living in hot, or dry or cold conditions especially if your day is filled with air-conditioner. your skin will thanks you after this.
bye-bye...see you soon with another review.....

NYX stay matte but not flat liquid foundation review

hi.....yeah...im quite Missing in action for a while.....so now im back....im going to give my thoughts on the foundation i mention in the title....
i've been using this foundation for few months before giving my own review on it, as i wanted to test the foundation for its long time effects. i know some foundation kinda change and started to make you oily, dry, looking caked-up after a few usage.
so, here is how the foundation looks like...
it has 1.18 fl.oz or 35ml, slightly more than typical foundation amount and it retails for RM 30 at my local sephora. Only sephora carries this brand here in Malaysia, can't find any in drugstores anywhere. im in the shade soft beige, SMF50.. it was kinda hard for me to pick a shade because im kinda in the between of this shade and caramel shade..but this one matches me better than the caramel which make me looked darker than i am.

this foundation in particular, has no SPF, claimed to be oil free,water based, full coverage with a matte finish.
first time applying it, it was quite thin, thinner than revlon's foundation with a slight smell, nothing too intense.
it is not full coverage, i'll say it has slight to medium coverage, you can build it up but not too much or else you'll be looking quite caked-up. it is quite dewy on its own but after you set it with powder its matte. if you have oily skin, make sure to prime your skin and apply a oil absorbing powder as you will get quite shiny through out the day. it is not a long wear foundation for me, its not transfer proof and it tend to rub off. and it will also crease and settle into your fine line after 3-4 hours of wearing.
its a good foundation for everyday baseas it gives a natural look but i dont advice it for events or parties.
overall: go for it if you want affordable, and a matte foundation for everyday's natural look. a little goes a long way, literally i just use a bean size only. dont go for it if you love full coverage look, a long lasting foundation or if you looking for a fancy one
how the foundation looks on me, no highlight, no bronzer and no concealer, just foundation and powder
