Review: YOKO Milk Shower Essential Kit

I heard the door bell rang and someone honking right outside of my house, was thinking that it might be Poslaju with my parcel so I asked my mom to pick it up since I was doing something upstairs. But when I got downstairs ...



A Big SURPRISE!






And everything's so cuteeeeeeeeeeeeee! 


YOKO Milk Shower Essential Kit! 


And what's inside the cute little envelope with the moo moo seal sticker?


How-to-use cards, how thoughtful!



Okay, let's start with product #1!


Hair spa, yay! Am so looking forward to this since my hair has been so frizzy these days, not sure why. Maybe from all the damage done during the days where I dyed my hair frequently.



I love how the products are sealed nicely for hygiene purposes.


The product smells really good, like some lotion scent. It claims to be a unique blended treatment with triple benefits from Milk protein, Coconut oil, and Argan oil that boosts the beauty and shine of your hair.


Texture is thick and gooey, very much like conditioner. Speaking of which, it can be used as a replacement product for your conditioner except that you'll have to leave it for about 10 minutes before rinsing it off. So I went and wash my hair and happily put on the product on every strand without getting it on my scalp as I don't want to end up with oily hair since my scalp is pretty sensitive.


Instead of wrapping up using a towel as suggested, I lazily bun it up and continued with whatever I was doing. 

After about 10 minutes, I rinsed it off during my shower and to my surprise, it came off easily and your hair instantly feels soft and clean. As I have used hair spa products from other brands before, I notice that most of them are pretty hard to rinse off, they will take ages and you will feel as though there's still product in your hair and it's oily. But with this, I don't find it a hassle to rinse off, in fact, I am in love with it! My hair feels soft and I don't even need a comb for it. Just let it air dry and then comb it using my fingers and I'm ready to go out. Plus, it smells so good! AWESOMENESS!

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

Product #2! 


When I saw milk salt, was wondering how it'll look and smell like. 
It's stated for exfoliating and removing dirt deposits and dead skin cells from your body, giving you a new radiant skin after shower while nourishing the skin with Vitamin E, Milk protein, with natural salt benefits.


Okay, very fine salt granules, unlike those shower salt I've used before and it smells like some milky buttery cookie! So the yummy! 


So, like most shower salt, you'll have to massage it in circular motion on wet skin. But there's an extra step for this product, that is to leave it for 3 minutes before rinsing it off. Not sure why is that but I think it has something to do with letting the product absorbs into the skin (probably the milk!).


Wet your skin, put on some product and start massaging!


This is how it looks like on wet skin.


And this is after the 3 minutes. Salt granules on your skin.

My verdict?
The skin feels very soft after shower, like it's nourished from the milk in the product. And again, it smells so good! And since it's fine salt, it felt as though you have scrubbed every dead cell off the skin to reveal a new layer! Okay, that probably sound a little dramatic but your skin will definitely feel cleaner and healthier!

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~


After getting out from my shower, can't wait to try on product #3!





The packaging for this one is just too cute! A moo cow milk bottle?  !!!

I'm a sucker for adorable stuffs!

Claimed to be a non-greasy formula which enriches your skin with Milk protein and Vitamin B3 for nourishing and moisturizing purposes while the Vitamin E and Licorice extract leaves your skin smoother, lighter, more supple and healthier looking.

It has the lotion scent, very much similar to the hair spa's scent. Very nice one, indeed. Texture wise, it's very watery and light, absorbs quickly into the skin and not oily at all. People say that it's always good to apply lotion to your skin after your shower as it would absorb better and you can keep your skin nourished and protected. Usually I won't want to do that since I hate the sticky feeling but I think I will make that a habit with this product now. But since it's watery, you'll tend to use more compared to those creamy type.

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~


The last and product #4?


A rich and exclusive cream consists of Milk protein, Aloe vera extract and Chamomile extract which absorbs fast and acts as a key to retain skin moisture to prevent wrinkles, brighten your skin and improve its condition for smoother and softer skin. 


The texture is heavier, thicker and creamier than the body lotion. Smell wise is the same. It's a little greasy compared to the lotion but in a manageable level. Recommended especially for those who are always in air-conditioned room as I think it's good in keeping your skin moisturized!

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~




Overall, I really love the products in every way; its packaging, smell and efficiency.
I would definitely recommend and purchase this set in the future as a happy user. And if you enjoyed reading this review and would like to try them out, here's good news for you!

Review: De Beauty Reborn Collagen Plus



As a lady in this modernized world, I guess what most of us are looking for is a all-in-one beauty beverage that can truly indulge your skin to get the “moisturized”, “whitening”, “firming”, “delicate” and “beautifying” effect! That's why I was so looking forward to review one of the most raved on beauty beverage in the market, De Beauty's Reborn Collagen Plus and thank you HiShop for the opportunity.




Produced as a 5 in 1 Perfect Beauty Product, it resolves your skin problems with its main ingredients such as ...

Marine Collagen Peptide - Skin firming, reduces dark circles and eyebags
Hyaluronic Acid - Improve dry and rough skin while moisturizing
Soy Isoflavones - Smoothness of skin and anti-ageing
Pueraria Mirifica  - Breasts enhancement and regulates hormones
L-Glutathlone - Whitening effect, improves uneven skin tone and texture




As you can see, it's formulated in Japan and has certified by many such as having the food safety approval, good manufacturing practice, certified halal, 100% natural and etc. All those are considered as important information to me since it's a consume product and I want to make sure that it wouldn't harm my health in anyway.




Now I'm sure most of you would be wondering how it tastes like because that's what sparked my biggest curiosity as some beauty product might be very efficient but not very appealing in taste wise.


How to prepare this beauty beverage?
Only a couple of simple steps..
1. Take one sachet and mix with 150ml water.
2. Stir well and it's ready to serve. 





It's pink-ish colored powder with very fragrant berry-like smell. My guess of the taste would either be sour or sweet but I'm betting on it being sweet.




And I was right, it indeed tasted sweet and has a fragrant berry taste, very yummy and easy to consume. I wouldn't mind drinking this daily since it tasted good and it's all good for my beauty! 


Before taking the product selfie!

So my main concerns are my dark circles and appearing eyebags, visible pores and uneven skin tone. Even if you are using your skin care products on a daily basis, you still can't 100% control how your skin behaves as it also depends on your daily life routines such as your sleeping hours and eating  habits.

And my verdict?


After consuming this product for 7 days continuously, I would say that there's improvements on the appearance of the pores and also skin texture and skin tone. As you will see in the "after" photo, my dark circles and eyebags still remain visible, I'm assuming maybe you will need to consume a longer period for you to be able to see the results. As for breasts enhancement, I do not see visible results either. But overall, I would say it's worth a try since you can already see some results in just a week's time even though they are not very visible. But I guess that's how most beauty products work, it takes time and effort.
