On last a few months ago, I bought a lot of the Korean skincare and cosmetic products by shopping online thru the Hermo website. I also already posted this topic on the Korean Beauty Haul of the month, August 2017. I did the review of the Klairs Mochi BB Cushion and Heimish All Clean Balm on my blog based on my experience using it.

Recently, I did try all products of the COSRX that I bought it before. On this post, I would like to make the review about it based on my experiences using it. But before that, I would like to inform my skin type is combination skin with oily at the T-zone area. Sometimes, it's become sensitive skin and also dry skin too. It does depend on some situations and also the weathers. Among the products of COSRX I try are COSRX AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner (150 ml), COSRX Low PH Good Morning Gel Cleanser (150 ml), COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patch (24 patches), and COSRX One Step Pimple Clear Pads (70 Pads).

Maybe some of you already know about this brand ‘COSRX' or maybe some of you didn't know about it. Actually, this brand is new to me too but it's quite popular in South Korea, especially who is has acne and sensitive skin. COSRX is already in Malaysia but it's only available thru online shopping thru the Hermo website. I did not see yet this brand in the stores but I hope someday it's available in the stores. 

Let's me make the first review about the COSRX Low PH Good Morning Gel Cleanser. As a name of Low PH Good Morning Gel Cleanser, it's weak of acid with PH 5.0 ~ 6.0.  It's an ideal for sensitive and acne skin but it's also good for normal skin and dry skin too. It does contain with tea oil, which is good for controls oils and tightens pore. It's clear gel type, which is the low irritation. Thanks to the soft gel. Even its name call a Good Morning Gel Cleanser but it can use the night time too – like I do on every day. Normally, I will do the double cleansing on the night time if I wear a makeup. It can help my skin look fresh without any makeup left over on my skin. In my opinion, I like gel type cleanser rather than oil type cleanser. Maybe because my skin type is the combination so I don't like the product will make my skin look so oily, especially with I try to use the product is based on oil type. 

The second review about the COSRX AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner. The AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner is made with mineral water to rejuvenate for healthier skin. It also features to prevent, balance, and maintain. The AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner prevents whiteheads, blackheads, and blemishes with the perfect blend of all-natural ingredients and mineral water to rejuvenate and replenish the skin. Based on my experience after the first week I use it, my skin is the breakout. I don't know why it's happened but I still continue using it until today and my skin getting better. No more breakout or acne on my skin. Yes, I like it.

The third review is about the COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patch (24 patches). What do can I say? Among the COSRX products I have been tried it, this is the more product I love it so much. The Acne Pimple Master Patch is a hydrocolloid patch that prevents secondary infections while healing. The light and thin skin protectant patch allow intensive care for the smallest problematic areas while protecting the skin from external pollutants. It protects areas so makeup application is possible while managing intensive care for the problematic area. It is easy to use and the effect is quite fast too. I use it during the night time, I just stick it on the acne area then on next morning my acne become smallest (if the acne is big) or sometimes it's just gone (if the acne is small). It's useful to me, especially during traveling. It is fine to put on makeup when you go out.

The last review is about COSRX One Step Pimple Clear Pads (70 Pads). Easy to use, anywhere and everywhere, the One step Pimple Clear Pads are designed for on-the-go emergencies and made with all-natural ingredients to reduce the irritations while deeply penetrating the pores to clear unwanted gunk to transform the skin into the beautiful and flawless. Basically, it's designed One Step Pimple Clear Pad is a toner, but it can be used as a cleansing tissue (makeup) but it's better to do double cleansing after that for a beautiful skin. I like it. It exfoliates really well and it's isn't harsh on the skin. 

I would like to give the stars out of 4 stars over 5 stars overall for all the COSRX products that I have been tried it. I'm sure I'll buy these products while I going to Seoul, Korea soon.  That all of my honest opinion about it. Soon, I will post the new reviews about another Korean Brand. 

Let's begin my travelogue on the sixth day or the last day I have been in Taiwan. Since our flight on 08:50 am so we just have a breakfast box from the Sinjhuang Chateau de Chine Hotel. We're standby at the lobby around 06:00 am. Then, we're held to the Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport. The journey by bus is taken around 30 minutes from the hotel. 

My Taiwan Trip's Group is ready to going back home. The right is our tour guide, Ms Wendy and the left is our driver bus.

We're straight check-in our luggage at the China Airlines counter when we've arrived at the Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport – Depart Gate. Since we're booking air ticket by the group so the China Airlines staff is already print our boarding pass before we've arrived there. Its make us easy to proceed our check-in luggage. 

After we're received our boarding pass, we need to go the X-Ray Luggage Counter and it's located at the end of the check-in luggage counter. I can see my luggage's x-ray and slowly go inside. I do not face any problem about my luggage, and then we're starting queue for the immigration and checking part area. 

TIP – Don't forget to wait for your luggage until pass the x-ray counter before you start the queue for immigration and checking part area. Then, who are booking flight ticket by AirAsia – you need to have arrived at the airport early because it has the long queue at the check-in luggage. 

We say goodbye to our tour guide – Ms. Wendy. I will be missing her. I don't know, its Taiwan people like traveling or its have many morning flights? The queue for immigration and checking area is quite long. But it's taken around 40 minutes, maybe. I remember that I just left a few minutes before I get on the plane. So I don't have much time for the look around at the free duty.

The duration journey from Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) is around 4 hours 40 minutes. This plane is quite big too. The seating arrangement is 3 – 4 – 3 for economy class but if for the premium economy class is 2 – 4 – 2. Our flight no. is CI 0721 (TPE/KUL). 

The things from China Airlines that we're got on the plane are the pillow, blanket, and earphone for entertainment. That is standard things in the plane since our journey is least than 5 hours. It's same like I flight from Kuala Lumpur to Taipei.  Even this is the China Airlines; they still can provide the Halal Meals for Muslim customers. Just remember to tick the Halal Meals during when you make the booking of the flight ticket.

The cabin crews are nice to me. They give the snack to customers after 1 hour on air, like the mixed snack and apple juice.  Then they give our lunch, which is Halal meal – chicken curry with rice and apple juice before 2 hours we're landing.

We're safely landing at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport on 13:00 pm. Actually, we've quite fast arrived at the Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia rather than we expected landing at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia is around 13:30 pm. Just 30 minutes early. 

I take chance to shopping at the Free Duty Shops. I was bought the YSL Lipstick Rouge Voluptѐ Shine Oil-in-Stick [Color No. 6] (RM 133.00) & YSL Lipstick Voluptѐ Tint-in-Balm [Color No. 10] (RM 140.00); and the Jo Malone perfume (Both – English Pear & Freesia Cologne) 30 ml (RM 250.00) and 100 ml (RM 486.00). Yes, it's a little bit cheaper bought at the Free Duty Shops. 

Did you feel curious it's this time I did send the postcard too from Taiwan? The answer is yes, I did send the postcard from Taiwan to Malaysia. The stamp of the postcard price is NT$ 13 per postcard (RM 1.86) by Air Mail. The duration it's delivered to my house is taken around 7 days working days. Before I forget, I did received the postcard from Perth, Australia. It's the gift from my sister that she holiday to Perth, Australia with her friends, which is the same duration I going holiday to Taiwan with Mama. By the way, thank you sister even this postcard didn't have cop on it. Hihihi  

That's all my Taiwan trip stories for 6 days 5 nights with my lovely Mama. I can't wait for my next trip in this year again. Soon I will fly again. I hope these stories will give some information about traveling to Taiwan. Enjoy your reading. 

Here, the link to the continued stories about the Explore Taiwan, the Heart of Asia on September 2017 – Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, and Day 5.

Let's begin my travelogue on the fifth day I have been in Taiwan. We take breakfast at Sinjhuang Chateau de Chine Hotel, around 07:15 am. This day is the last day that I can explore Taiwan before I going back home on next day. I feel like 6 days is not enough to me for exploring Taiwan. I hope someday I will go back Taiwan and I get the chance to explore another place. 

The first place we're going in this morning is fruit market. As the tour group request to go cheap fruit market, even it's not having in our itinerary. Yes, our bus driver and also tour guide is so kind-hearted. They try to fulfill our bucket list in Taiwan. It's quite amazing; I can see the daily local market in Taiwan. Since it's local market so most of them can't speak English. 

Then, we are going to the Taipei Grand Mosque. The Taipei Grand Mosque is the largest and most famous mosque in Taiwan with a total area of 2,747 square meters. It is located in the Da'an District of Taipei City. It is Taiwan's most important Islamic structure and it was registered as a historic landmark on 29 June 1999 by the Taipei City Government.

We take our lunch at the Taj Indian Restaurant. This time our meal is Indian Cuisine. I was chosen to eat naan with lamb curry. The price this meal per pax is NT$ 350 (RM 50.00). I feel like I going to India when I lunch in this place.

After lunch, we're headed to the Yehliu Geopark. The journey from Taipei City to Yehliu Geopark is taken around 1 hour. The Yehliu (野柳) is a cape in Wanli District, New Taipei, Taiwan. The cape is a known by geologists as the Yehliu Promontory, forms part of the Daliao Miocene Formation. It stretches approximately 1,700 meters into the ocean and it was formed as geological forces pushed the Datun Mountains out of the sea. The entrance fee for the Yehliu Geopark is NT$ 80 – adult (RM 11.50).

A distinctive feature of the cape is the hoodoo stones that dot its surface. These shapes can be viewed at the Yehliu Geopark operated by the North Coast and Guanyinshan National Scenic Area Administration. A number of rock formations have been given imaginative names based on their shapes. The best known is the "Queen's Head" (女王頭), an iconic image in Taiwan and an unofficial emblem for the town of Wanli. Other formations include the "Fairly Shoe", the "Beehive", the "Ginger Rocks", and the "Sea Candles".

Yes, this place is so beautiful but it's so hot at that moment. I try my best to take the beautiful photos as much as I try in the hot weather. 

Then, we're going to the Jiufen Old Street. The Jiufen (九份) is a mountain area in Ruifang District, New Taipei City, Taiwan. During the first years of the Qing Dynasty, the isolated village housed nine families, thus the village would request "nine portions" every time shipments arrived from town. Later Kau-hun (meaning "nine portions" in Hokkien) would become the name of the village.

This place is so packed with tourist; especially from Japan and Korea. So it's hard to me to take the beautiful photo of me at that place. The stairs are quite many and it's making me so tired climb-up the higher level of the Jiufen. By the way, this place is beautiful. 

This day made me super tired rather than the previous day I have been in Taiwan. We're back again to Taipei City. We're held to the Yunus Halal Restaurant. The most of our meals is a Chinese and Malay meal's concept like our previous restaurant. The price for per pax is NT$ 400 (RM 57.20). 

As you can see, all my meal in Taiwan is average price around RM 50.00. So for Muslim tourist, budget your meal well in Taiwan because the Halal meal in Taiwan is quite expensive than another food.

Tonight I need packing all my stuff and take rest as well. I also need to wake up early on tomorrow, since my flight by China Airlines from Taipei, Taiwan to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia is on 08:50 am. So we're needed to be at the airport on 06:50 am. In conclusion, I need to wake up around 04:30 am in the morning. 

That's all about the travelogue in Taiwan. Actually, on the sixth day is only about my experience back to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I hope you guys enjoy my stories.
