I know a lot of people who say that they cannot wear makeup because if they wear makeup, they will get acne, blackhead, zits. The more makeup they use, the more zits they get. And they blame makeup for that.

I just want to clarify one thing, the one who you should blame for is not makeup, but yourself. You don't use fake makeup products, or you use high end makeup products, or you have tons of skincare, but you cannot get rid the acne, and you still don't understand why, here I give you the answer..

YES! Its about cleaning your face!

You wear a lot of makeup, so you will spend a lot of time to remove it. Some people are lazy to remove their makeup at night, some people think they have cleaned their face clearly, but actually they haven't. If you neglect your face, no wonder zits will come out.

I always spend much time to remove makeup and clean my face. Because I have to make sure that my face is absolutely clean, not just looks clean. I also have so so many steps to clean my face, beside my skin care routine..

After I got back home, I will clean my hands first, because I don't want to touch my face with dirty hands/fingers. Then, I will use wet facial tissue to clean my whole face, except the eyes area. After that, I use cotton and facial cleanser, again to clean my whole face except the eyes area that the wet facial tissue can't reach. About the eyes area, I'm using makeup remover to remove the makeup. I will wash my face with facial wash with lukewarm water, and pat (not rub) my face with towel. And before I do my skin care routine, I also use milk and toner to clean my face, to make sure there's no makeup left on my face, then I can continue to do my skin care routine.

A lot of things to do, so much time to spend, but really worth that you don't have to feel uneasy about zits that usually come up the next day you wear makeup (beside if you're in period, because that is hormonal that acne will come up). I hope this post helps you to stop wondering why you cannot use makeup. And lets play with makeup more! :)

Have a great weekend!

Let's talk again soon!

It's my new baby schnauzer, Muffin!

Look how adorable she is! She's s small and yappy, I love her!

At first I thought 'WOW!!' I was really excited and bought it right away, even though I wasn't thinking to change my facial cleanser at that time, maybe I could swap my facial cleanser with this one only when I have makeup on and lazy or too tired to clean up my face, so I wouldn't use this facial wash every single day, thats what I thought. Because I didn't know whether this cleanser suitable for all skin types or not, I didn't want to change my current facial cleanser (I'm using The Body Shop), but still I was really curious to try it.

The packaging is just a plastic bottle with a flip cap on the top of the bottle. The consistency is liquid, as you can see on the picture above, please do not mind hair on my hand hahaha. It creates pretty much foam, and it has no scent at all.

I washed my face the same day I bought this product, because I was overly excited to try it. But somehow, I didn't find this facial wash working. I had bb cream, powder, blush, eyeshadow, mascara, eyeliner, lipgloss, just usual makeup for usual day.

Suddenly, I realized that I had some problems with the facial cleanser to begin with:

It does a pretty cool job with cleaning eyeshadow, eyeliner, powder, lip products and blush, but not bb cream and foundation. It is a makeup remover, can clean particular areas that I don't want it to touch, but cannot clean other areas that I want it to clean.

So I never try to use this makeup remover again after that, and also it leaves kind of tight feeling on my face, I'm afraid if I use it every single day, it will give me breakouts :(.

Right now, I'm using it as a makeup brush cleanser, at least this facial wash has a job to do.

The packaging is hard cardboard, you have to flip the cover to open, its easy to be inadvertently opened so I wouldn't say that its travel friendly. And inside it, there's small mirror which is not enough for me, but its better than nothing and two applicators. Even though the applicators are useless, I won't complain because the price of the palette is only about $22.00!!!

There are 25 colors inside the palette, 23 of them is shimmer eyeshadows and the last 2 are cream shadows. You can play with the colors, there are so many different gorgeous colors. Of course they're all gorgeous, they're 25 best choice colors of asian women!!! The colors are pigmented, but some are more opaque than the others.
