Breena Beauty VelvetCreme Review and Swatch | Are these liquid lipsticks worth buying?

0

Breena VelvetCreme, yes! VelvetCream, not Velvetines, read it right ya because I’ve been struggling to say them right as well…haha
Breena Beauty, a solely Malaysian Beauty Brand, very recently launched their liquid lipsticks in the market. The packaging gives me a hint of Dose Of Colors liquid lipsticks somehow but with their sleek gold accent design and all, it’s a cool one. After all, no amount of liquid lipstick is enough and these are very much of a budget friendly option. Where you might think of Colour Pop Ultra Mattes with a similar price but if you’re a fan of less drying ones then Breena VelvetCremes wins that term.

 

Breena VelvetCreme Ingredient List:

Isododecanei, Dimethicone, Microctystalline Wax, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Methyl Methacrylate,Crosspolymer, Phenoxyethanol, Titanium Dioxide, Red 28 Lake (CI 45410), Yellow 5 Lake.

Breena VelvetCreme Liquid Lipstick Shades:Breena VelvetCreme Liquid Lipstick Swatch

There are 9 shades in the Breena VelverCream range now.

  1. Ccoclatte – Described as a warm brown, Swatches the same but turns a bill cooler on my lips.
  2. Teddy – Described as a beige-peach. Such a pretty color and my favorite of all.
  3. Peachcake – Describes as a nude peach. It looks more pinky nude on my lip.
  4. Frosting – Describes as a pink mauve. However, it totally looks like a pastel pink on my lip.
  5. Macaroon – Described as a beige pink.
  6. Kindness – Brown berry, appears on my lip just the same. Love this shade.
  7. Catlady – Described as a mid-tone berry. This is a very interesting shade. with bright light, it gives a hot-pink vibe.
  8. Lady Boss – A bright red with a warm undertone. The shade almost feels neon.
  9. Courage – Describes as a deep Maroon. I’ll say, it’s a blood-red shade.

 

Swatch of the shades on my lips:

I swatched them all with same makeup and well cleaned my lips before each swatch. For a note, my original lip color is nothing pinky or so, it’s quite on the dark side. Lip-swatch here you see not when the lipstick was dry but just after application.

My thoughts on Breena VelvetCreme:Breena VelvetCreme Liquid Lipstick

I simply love the outer packaging of Breena VelvetCreme. Each lipstick tube contains a 7ml of product. They smell slightly vanilla-ish when I open the tube but while I apply them the scent goes away and I can only sense something chemical. Reminds me of LA Splash Lip Couture fragrance-wise slightly but fortunately, these aren’t that strong.

Breena VelvetCreme claims to be highly pigmented, they are yet all of the nine shades aren’t consistent, texturewise. Frosting and Lady Boss gives me hard time to get an even surface of color (I applied 3/4 coats here in the swatch). Where the shade Peachcake acts same as well but a tad better than those two. However, rest of the shades are excellent, they apply smooth and evenly. Once coat gives a light color opacity and a second coat is enough for the full opacity.

 

Breena VelvetCreme Liquid Lipstick

Breena VelvetCreams dries completely matte and takes a minute or so to dry completely. Good thing is, they aren’t much drying on the lip and they don’t flake, these are the fact I love the most about them. Their lasting powder depends, though. If you eat any oily food while wearing them, they wear off from the middle of your lips creating an empty circle. That’s not really a matter to me if I look at the price. Only a couple of my high-end lipstick brand can fight and win with oily food, for e.g. KatVonD Liquid lipsticks.

Another fact that I love that these doesn’t give me hard time taking them off either. My cleansing wipes do the work, sometimes I just need a bit of cleansing oil or balm, that it!

 

Overall, I’m quite happy with Breena VelvetCreme liquid Lipsticks. My favorite shades are Teddy, Cocolatte, kindness and Catlady. Macaroon and Courage is my 2nd favorite. I highly recommend them if you’re looking for a budget friendly good matte lipstick. Rest are in my non-fav list because of their consistency, I hate to struggle when applying lipstick.

Sleek Makeup Highlighter Palette, Solstice | drugstore highlighter with high-end quality

30

If you read me regularly and are following me on my social media then you already know that Sleek MakeUP is now available in Malaysia since earlier this year. Thus, I got a few new Sleek Product [Courtesy of Sleek MakeUP, Malaysia] and been trying them out for quite a while now. This Sleek Makeup Highlighter Palette – Solstice is one of them and, of course, today I want to spread my thought about it to you all.

The packaging of it is GOLD… a big YASS for all gold lover, no? Yet it’s nothing fancy actually except the magnetic closer, which makes it super convenient. The palette contains total 9g of product which I think quite a lot to finish in one life haha. And yes, The brush it comes with is cheap and useless, trash it first if you want the best outcome from this palette.

Ingredients:

Mica, Talc, Dimethicone, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Ozokerite, Magnesium Stearate, Isononyl Isononanoate, Nylon 12, Caprylyl Methicone, Paraffinum Liquidum, Polybutene, Magnesium Aluminium Silicate, Methylparaben, Propylparaben. May Contain +/- Titanium Dioxide (Ci 77891), Red Iron Oxide (Ci 77491), Yellow Iron Oxide (Ci 77492), Black Iron Oxide (Ci 77499), Ferric Ferrocyanide (Ci 77510).

Sleek Solstice Highlighting Palette | A Drugstore Gem or Not?

4 shades of Sleek Solstice palette are: [from top left]

  • Ecliptic – a dusty pink, sometimes feels an off-champagne shade and a cream highlighter. intensity is buildable and has a very smooth finish.
  • Hemisphere – a lilac pink and this one is the most popping shade of this palette.
  • Subsolar – a pastel yellow shade. This is a perfect shade for anyone who wants to glow in the dark :p The finish of this one feels a bit more packed and smoother than other two powder shade.
  • Equinox – a champagne shade, very must suitable for tan skin like mine but buildable to any opacity.

 

Swatch of Sleek Solstice palette on my hand:

Sleek Solstice Highlighting Palette | A Drugstore Gem or Not?

My Experience with Sleek Highlighter Palette solstice:

First of all, I just love that it has color variation along with 2 different finish. The shade selection so amazing that, literally, everyone with any skin tone will find palette useful. Wear time of these highlighters are great as well. I find the cream shade, Ecliptic, last on my skin until the end. However, I’m not a cream highlight lover so I tend to reach for this shade the least.

Equinox has quickly become my go-to shade because it’s the most suitable one for my tan skin and the most subtl the one in finish. Sometimes I mix it with the shade Subsolar or Hemisphere to create variation.

Each of them is fine and smooth in texture, glides/blends easily without leaving any chunkiness. Nonetheless, I wouldn’t compare them with the smoothness of a high-end highlighter. Yet, only the cream shade, Ecliptic, feels and applies better on my skin than Benefit Watt’s Up.

A less dense brush works better with these highlighters because they’re seriously metallic. If you go a tad overboard they’ll be way too much. I love to use my Sigma Strobing Fan brush[F42] or High Cheekbone[F03] to work with powder highlighters here. For the cream one, I prefer my Beauty Blender mini.

 

In the picture below I’m wearing Subsolar from Sleek highlighter palette solstice

Sleek Solstice Highlighting Palette Swatch

Overall, Among all the drugstore highlighters I’ve tried so far this palette turns out to be the best. In fact, I must mention, the highlighter comes with sleek contour kit or face form is nothing even close to this one. I wasn’t sure before trying out this palette why people rave about it so much but now I totally know the fact.

If you’re looking for the best highlighter within a pocket-friendly price then, without any doubt, Sleek Solstice Highlighting Palette is the one to grab.

 

Let me know what is your most favorite drugstore highlighter till date in the comment box below… I always love to grab new gems!

6

Don’t fight aging (because we will age eventually) but activate your youth – that’s how Murad says it. Impressive right? Last week Murad Skincare introduced their new and reinvented Retinol Serum. Murad retinol serum claims to have a breakthrough formula, powered by Retinol Tri-Active Technology to quickly target the visible sign of aging.

[/color-box]

 

Murad Retinol Serum Launch Event in Malaysia

At the launch, Mr. David Whyte, Pacific Global Educator of Murad Skincare, enlighten us about Murad Skincare and the new retinol serum. He said that Murad doesn’t talk about anti-aging but youth building. Which is what we can actually do by incorporating this New Retinol Youth Renewal Serum.

“Retinol is well-known as the gold standard anti-aging ingredient; that’s why my patients ask for it frequently,” said Dr. Howard Murad, founder of Murad. “However, I saw a significant need for a new product that worked more quickly and didn’t cause irritation and dryness. After years of research and development, I’m proud to say we have finally perfected the science of retinol with this revolutionary serum.”

Many retinol products rely on a single form of retinol and can take ages to become noticeable. Murad’s unique combination of three retinol technology delivers fast and visible results.

 

About Murad Retinol Serum:

Murad Retinol Serum

The Retinol Tri-Active Technology works in three ways:

  • Fast-Acting Retinoid: Accelerates results by quickly boosting cellular turnover.
  • Time-Released Retinol: Encapsulated in a lipid shell that slowly melts onto the skin. It delivers consistent, sustained levels of retinol over time.
  • Retinol Booster: Enhances efficacy by acting like a magnet to help enhance skin’s receptivity to retinol’s benefits.

The Serum contains Swertia Flower Extract too. This ingredient is recognized for its ability to aid in the regeneration of skin cells after a burn. Swertia Flower Extract paired with other active ingredients, reduces irritation and gently soothes the skin. Retinol Youth Renewal Serum also features Hyaluronic Acid Spheres to hydrate and immediately plump and smooth skin.

In a Murad-sponsored study [individual result may vary], 93 percent of users saw a reduction in lines and wrinkles and 98 percent noticed smoother skin after just two weeks of use. If your concern is fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone and less firmness, then the Murad Retinol Serum is for you. Retinol Youth Renewal Serum claims to deliver sustained results by boosting efficacy.

Cure Water Treatment Skin Cream | Japan’s No.1 Skincare & My experience

24

Hopefully, you’ve already read my previous post about Cure Water Treatment Skin Cream when they launched here in Malaysia. If you haven’t, give that a read because I’ve already given all initial info this Japanese product and a bit about the brand. It’s been quite a while now and time to share my own experience with Cure Water Treatment Skin Cream.

I won’t do much blabbering but will straight get to my thought on how the cream worked for me.

Ingredients:
Ingredients: Water, Cyclopentasiloxane, glycerin, Butylene, Glycol, Dimethicone, Dimethicone/PEG-10/15 Crosspolymer, Sodium Chloride, Methylparabem, Sodium Citrate, Glycosyl Trehalose, Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate.

My Experience with Cure Water Treatment Skin Cream:

Cure Water Treatment Skin Cream

Cure Water treatment skin cream claims to be a combination of toning water (moisturizer) and lotion (oil effect) in one to deliver a splash of water. And it is true to its claim, once I spread it on the skin, it forms water (activated hydrogen water) droplets. Which instantly gives the most refreshing feeling ever. After a few moments of massage on the skin, the product completely absorbs into the skin.

I love the fast absorption rate and my skin feels super smooth, hydrated but 100% non-greasy afterword.

The cream claims to be specially formulated to battle against the dry skin. However, my skin (combination) gets thirsty after 2/3 hours and I need to reuse it. Another hand, if I use it as an emulsion before my regular moisturizer, it works better. However, contained silicon (cosmetic grade) and its layer to lock the moisture on the skin make me confused if this one lets my regular moisturizer work into my skin.

After using it for a couple of weeks I didn’t find any negative side of this cream, neither any extra benefit. So I started using it directly for my hands & body. This seems to works fantastic for the body parts than my face.

A little goes a long way but the lightweight formula and refreshing feeling it gives, make me use it pretty often. Thus 100g tube doesn’t seem to last me long. I appreciate the no color, no fragrance, non-greasy, lightweight formula and simple packaging.

Overall, In my opinion, I will say it’s just a nice moisturizer that feels really nice on the skin. I think it’s a perfect product for sensitive and young skin. But for my skin, It’s not any All-In-One moisturizer. If you want to splurge on a Japanese moisturizer you can give this one a try.

Magnetic Empty Palette Comparison | Make Up For Ever, Tarte & Z-Palette

8

Are you an eyeshadow junkie? I’ve become a serious one, don’t know when or how! All my shadow palette lies in peace in the darkness of my Alex Drawer. I like to state at my drawer sometimes, I do rotate them in my use as well. When I started buying single pans of Makeup Geek eyeshadow then I first felt the need of an empty palette to house those single pans. I opted for an eBay $6 magnetic palette first. That palette wasn’t anything good and my eyeshadows were growing in numbers. So I opted for my first MUFE empty palette. From then, till today I’ve got quite a few empty palette in my collection. So today thought to do a comparison post on them.

Make Up For Ever Metal Empty Palette | XL and L

MUFE Empty Palette | Extra large and Large | Magnetic Empty Palette Comparison

My first empty palette was the Make Up For Ever XL empty palette. The have quite a few variety of sizes but I opt for the biggest one first, I needed something to house all my Makeup Geek Shadows. This MUFE XL size was reasonably cheap than other ones available on the market. Needless to mention, I fell in love with the quality as well.

MUFE Empty Palette | Extra large and Large | Magnetic Empty Palette Comparison

Later I bought the L size one because the XL one is quite big and heavy.
MUFE empty palette has a solid base of magnetic thing inside which is the main reason for its heavyweight. It also comes with a foamy sheet to put it over your shadows so when you’re traveling the palette will protect your shadows from any unfortunate situation. The closer of these palettes is old style pencil box closer like, So they’re quite secure. There was also a plastic sheet over the magnet sheet (i guess to catch the dust) I always trash that, anyway!

MUFE Empty Palette | Extra large | Magnetic Empty Palette Comparison

Make Up For Ever Xl palette can house 45 standard (e.g. Makeup Geek, MAC) shadow pans and the size L can house 32 shadow pans. The smaller one is definitely lightweight than the XL one, I use L size one for my daily shadows and keep the big one inside the drawer with stock shadows.

I use to travel with the L size palette as well but again, it felt a bit heavy and less convenient, always.

MUFE Empty Palette | Large | Magnetic Empty Palette Comparison

Z Palette – Large

MUFE and Z Palette | Magnetic Empty Palette Comparison

The size of it is pretty much similar to the MUFE L size palette (picture above) but it can hold only 28 shadow pans. Because the proportion is somehow not even to house more shadow. I got the Large Z-Palette to ease traveling issue. Z-palette is made out of plain cardboard box, the window is plain transparent plastic and closer is magnetic as well. I found the magnetic base of the Z Palette quite flimsy and not so reliable.

Z Palette | Magnetic Empty Palette Comparison

I’ve never been courageous enough to travel with this palette. I always feel something in my luggage will poke the plastic window and that will ruin everything. I’m currently in the middle of depot-ing all my Sleek Eye Shadow palettes and keeping this Z-Palette only for them. Sleek eyeshadow pans are half of the size of a usual shadow pan so I guess I can house 4/5 of my sleek palette easily in this large Z-Palette.

I like the fact that Z palette is super lightweight but wish it was a bit strong.

Tarte Magnetic Empty Palette

Tarte Empty Palette | Magnetic Empty Palette ComparisonTarte Empty Palette | Magnetic Empty Palette Comparison

This Tarte empty palette is a new addition to my empty palette collection.

I’ve been using my Makeup Geek MannyMUA palette for traveling purpose. If you have that palette then you know you can poke out the shadow pans from there and put on something else you like. That palette is made of paperboard so after a year of use, it went so nasty looking. I needed to replace that. Just at this very moment, I noticed this Tarte palette on Sephora website.I

I haven’t had much expectation from it, bought it because I needed one. But when I got this on hand it impressed me. The palette is so freaking well made. Yes, it is a cardboard palette as well but it is thick and strong.

Tarte empty palette is square in shape and can house 30 shadow pans. It has a big mirror on the opener flap and the magnetic base is as strong as the MUFE palettes are. Moreover, it is comparatively lightweight than the MUFE large palette. Without any doubt, this is palette I was looking for to travel with. I can, in fact, house my contour/blush pans along with shadows when traveling.

Overall, I guess you can say which I love the most. For the price and the quality surely MUFE wins it all. However, if you want a travel-friendly palette, get the Tarte one.

[color-box]

Shopping Info:

Make Up For Ever Metal Empty Palette – XL | RM100
Make Up For Ever Metal Empty Palette – L | RM75
Z Palette – Large | $20 [approx RM89 without shipping]
Tarte Magnetic Empty Palette | RM67

  • MUFE empty palettes are available exclusively at MUFE boutiques here in Malaysia. Z-palettes aren’t available, But you can get them from Makeup Geek Website if you want. Bought the Tarte palette from Sephora Malaysia online. Sadly they went out of stock within a few days. I really hope they’ll stock up soon. [I want to get another piece of this]

iherb Haul February’17 | Some Beauty stuff & Two Important Organic Product

13

Just a while ago I made some purchase from iherb so though to share with you guys what I got. After all, it’s been long since the last time I shared my iherb haul, no? Usually, I opt for iherb only when I need something and something that are easy to get from iherb rather relying on eBay/Amazon and when my purchase amount will be more that $40. Mainly because I prefer the DHL shipping from them after my first experience with iherb normal shipping option. And if you’re familiar with iherb then you already know, for some organic product iherb is the best source.

And if you’re familiar with iherb then you already know, for organic products iherb is the best source.

[wp_ad_camp_3][/wp_ad_camp_3]

So let me tell you what I got in my recent iherb haul…

Elf Lip Scrub and Powder Brush

I’ve been wanting to try the ELF powder brush since 2012! can you believe? For some these or that reason never been able to get my hand on that. But finally, this time I bought off the powder brush along with the ELF Lp Scrub from iherb.

The Lip Scrub was $3 and the brush was $4.

 

I love the Real Techniques buffing brush that comes with their Core Collection. I’ve used that more than 2 years and then it wasn’t capable of serving me more. I got myself the RT Expert Face Brush later but that doesn’t work the same way the Buffing Brush does. So I wanted to repurchase RT Buffing brush. However, I didn’t want to purchase the whole Core Collection again. When I saw this Berlin limited edition set on iherb (and in a sale price) I couldn’t resist. I had to buy it. This limited edition RT berlin set comes with five customer favorite (actually their best five) brushes.

The Real Techniques Berlin set cost me $22.45 after discount.

 

French Green Clay Powder

Now, this is one of the two main product I was planned to get, French Green Clay. Green Clay, also known as Sea Clay, works great as a detoxifying and brightening face mask which is more suitable for sensitive skin compared to other clays. I’m kinda tired nowadays of readymade mask thus I wanted to add something pure and natural in my skincare routine.

Found this Rainbow Research Green Clay powder at iherb with a great price ($5.51 for 8oz) so it was a must buy. I’ll post up my Green Clay Mask Recipe and How I use it soon, so stay connected if you’re interested.

 

Frontier Hibiscus Flower | iherb Haul

A second important product, that I’ve been literally struggling to get, is Hibiscus Flower. I religiously use Dry Hibiscus Flower with my hair oil since last year to manage my hair fall and to recover the damage I do with all that hair coloring and styling. Last time I collected Hibiscus from my trip to Cameron Highland, after that it got impossible to gather the amount of flowers I need. And I was running out my hair oil.

Luckily, found dry, cut and sifted Hibiscus Flower by the brand Frontier at iherb. Cost me $9.89 for 16oz, which is a lot! I’m sure you are aware of the ani-oxidant benefits of Hibiscus Tea. You guessed it right, I’m in the process of adding Hibiscus Tea in my food habit as well.

I do have a hair oil recipe for healthy hair that I use to use back in Bangladesh. But since I’m here in Malaysia those ingredients are hard to find, therefore I had to upgrade my hair oil recipe with new ingredients like Hibiscus Flower. Let me know if you’re interested to know about my recent hair oil secret. I will be happy to share :p

New Veet Hair Removal Device | For Women On The Go

6

Yesterday it was a happening dinner date with Veet Malaysia as the latest buzz on painless, gentle and precise hair removal been unveiled! More importantly, this new Veet Hair Removal Device is focused on the sensitive and most important parts of beauty; like eyebrows!

When it comes to hair removal and trimming, it is always a bit tricky, no? Mainly those sensitive parts of our body e.g. bikini lines, underarms, and eyebrows require skill and care. Our available tools like razor and tweezer can’t fully provide the gentle yet precise trimming result we need for those delicate areas. Understanding women’s need for an easier solution, the world famous depilatory brand, Veet just recently introduced a new beauty gadget that makes hair trimming a breeze.

Veet Hair Removal Device | For Women On The Go

The new Veet Sensitive Touch is quite a game changing device. It comes with various detachable heads to facilitate accurate and gentle hair trimming for eyebrows, underarms and bikini lines. The cutting blades are specially designed to never touch the skin during usage, hence no risk of cuts.

Moreover, the Veet hair removal device is as small as an electric toothbrush so it can be carried in a handbag and you’ll find handy in any sudden hairy-situation.

Currently, we all often shape eyebrows by tweezing or threading, as well as use a razor for hair removal at bikini line and underarms. Tiffany Tang, Marketing Director of RB Malaysia & Singapore, said in her speech during the launch, “Research has shown that unfortunately, the market doesn’t cater to the method that treats each sensitive area with the precision, gentleness, and convenience it needs.” She also explained it how Veet takes on the challenge with this new innovative device.

Veet Hair Removal Device | For Women On The Go

 

Veet Hair Removal Device, Sensitive Touch [RM119] comes with:

  • Two sided Trimming head – 16mm and 6mm
  • One sided Trimming Head (20mm)
  • 2 comb attachment (2mm & 4mm) to uniform hair length
  • Styler cap
  • Cleaning brush
  • Beauty pouch to take it with you anywhere
  • 1 x AA Battery

 

***Available at major pharmacies nationwide and at online retailers as well.

[wp_ad_camp_3][/wp_ad_camp_3]

 

Veet Hair Removal Device | For Women On The Go

After a delicious dinner and trying out the product we got to meet two celebrity persona. Amber Chia, Malaysia Supermodel and Actress and Steven Sunny, the makeup maestro. Ambe Chia shared with us her personal experience with Veet Sensitive touch and Steven Sunny, of course, showed us how he use the device on his models.

Amber Chia for Veet Hair Removal Device | For Women On The Go

It truly tempted me when Amber said that she was blown away by Veet’s bullet-fast and painless trimming device.”Just a few quick swipes and my brows are just the way I like them” enthused Amber Chia.

“Just a few quick swipes and my brows are just the way I like them. I’ll be honest – I often dread styling my brows because it is so painful and time consuming with a tweezer. I now carry this gadget in my handbag” enthused Amber Chia.

Steven Sunny for Veet Hair Removal Device | For Women On The GoSteven Sunny for Veet Hair Removal Device | For Women On The Go

I myself totally agree with Stevens words that your eyebrows speak before you do. You can convey boldness and confidence, free spirit or feminism just with the shape of your brows. And obviously, in our busy life, we don’t have much time to do eyebrows using a tweezer or thread or run for the salon every week or so. But maintaining a well-shaped brow is just as important in a woman’s beauty regime as skincare. This is where a nice electric brow trimmer, that is fast and safe, comes handy.

 

Now I’m eagerly waiting to try out the Veet hair removal device, Sensitive Touch on myself. It’s just the wait until my eyebrow grows out. You guys must stay connected you’re keen to know my own personal experience. Hope to review it soon.

Meanwhile, you can share your experience, if you already a user, in the comment box below. And also let me know what is your current favorite brow shaping tool and hair trimmer right now.

*** Press Release.

 

Update:
My user experience/review is up here on the blog. Read out how the new Veet Trimming Device worked for me.

Valentines Day Idea For Him | Make The Day Extra Special

8

I and Husband just came back from a short holiday and I feel I’m still living those moments. This time it was somewhat extra special not judging by the place or activities but by the moments we actually lived with each other. Remembering those amazing moments, I want to get a bit intimate and personal today for the sake of love and passion. After all, it’s February, the month that has a dedicated day for love, The Valentines Day!

We all lovers around the world look for the best of the best Valentines Day Ideas to please, to surprise, to express our love to our partner, no?

What is the most common Valentines Day scenario you notice if I ask you?

Dinner? A staycation?

You’ll see all us beauty bloggers/vloggers showing you some makeup tutorials emphasizing on pink/reds for your dinner date. Sometimes the makeup tutorial shown by us is even pulled off to that extent where your partner might get destructed rather feeling your love and passion towards him. Might sound harsh, might sound silly but it’s the truth. Ask 10 guys (including your husband/partner) and calculate how many of them actually prefer a pretty face with a shit load of makeup or some nice and passionate time to celebrate valentines day.

I feel, sometimes we do forget the values of love, we do forget that a relationship demands some intimate time. A warm hug, kiss, sitting together somewhere alone, maybe only 30 minutes of talking/gazing at each other/remembering some sweet memories are more meaningful than going for a dressy dinner or buying a pricey gift.

Let’s put our ordinary ideas aside, make this coming valentines day a really special and absolutely romantic one. How? Let me share my one personal idea and I bet you and your partner both will truly love it.

You’ve Aloe Vera gel at home, right? If you don’t then get a jar of that (I’m using Jayeon 98% Aloe Vera Gel), it’s not pricey at all and a super-multi purpose product to always have in your home. Learn some massage techniques such as Facial Massage or Hand Massage. Don’t worry these techniques aren’t any hard thing to learn.

Plan the day ahead so in the very moment it’s only you guys and your feeling you’re thinking about. It doesn’t matter how the place is! Maybe it’s in the park after you guys finished jogging, can be just after you guys are done working out and preparing to jump into the pool. Can be by the side of the beach, when your beach-play is done and your skin needs some soothing treatment. If you guys plan to stay at home then that is indeed a best and intimate place ever (wink)! A simple and comforting touch of your hand surely can pronounce the word how much love you hold for him. Do not stop there but ask him to give you a message as well. So you both can indulge in the feeling of love!

Jayeon means “nature” and “kind” in Korean. The jar contains 300ml of product and consists 98% of Aloe vera along with Rosemary, Green Tea, Mulberry etc rich ingredients. Contains no paraben, no alcohol, no mineral or animal oil. I love the fact that it is completely non-sticky. This Aloe Vera Gel is suitable for all skin type and can be used as a toner, moisturizer, to soothe sunburn or to nourish hair.
