Recently I become the big fan of aromatherapy, especially to the natural essential oil. I hear the natural essential oil have a lot of benefit to our body and mind. Nowadays, the Bath & Body Works Stores in Malaysia have sold a lot of aromatherapy products. I bought the Bath & Body Works, Sleep – Lavender & Cedarwood Essential Oil Rollerball (8 ml); Bath & Body Works, Focus – Eucalyptus & Tea Essential Oil Rollerball (8 ml); Bath & Body Works, Happiness – Bergamot & Mandarin Essential Oil Rollerball (8 ml); and Bath & Body Works, Energy – Orange & Ginger Essential Oil Rollerball (8 ml). The normal price is RM 70.00 each. 

All the essential oil I bought from Bath & Body Works Store is helping change my mood, mind and soothe body while I using it. It is also easy to carry around and small, especially when I go traveling. I also not have the problem to carry it on the plane if I put it in my handbag. The best part when I take breathes deeply after I put it on my wrists. Mostly I like the Sleep – Lavender & Cedarwood Essential Oil Rollerball. It really helps me deeply sleep all the night after me using it when I needed to. Maybe this price is expensive for essential oil but since it works well for me, then I never mind to spend a little bit on my self-care. I would like to give 4.5 stars out of 5 stars for these products. 

In this a few years, I using a lot of the skincare products from Innisfree's brand; which is from Jeju Island, Korea. Recently, I using the Innisfree Green Tea Balancing Cleansing Oil (150 ml) with the normal price is RM 85.00 from the Innisfree Store in Malaysia. My skin type is a combination and oily skin, but it is depending on the weather too and it does can be changed. 

The Innisfree Green Tea Balancing Cleansing Oil is smooth and hydrating cleansing oil containing freshly squeezed Jeju green tea. The fresh green tea water squeezed out from organically grown fresh green tea leaves is rich in amino acids and minerals that moisturize and brighten skin that's become dehydrated by cleansing. The cleansing oil is gently rolled on the skin to cleanse the face and leaves rich moisture on the face. 

It is simple to use this product, which is smoothly and evenly apply oil onto facial skin that has not been dumped yet. Then, add water as you massage with your fingertips to remove makeup. Based on skin type, rinse with lukewarm water or use the cleansing form for the further cleansing step. I highly recommend doing the double cleansing to get the better result for your skin. 

In my experience using this product, I like the way it is work. I can see my face clean without any makeup or oil left after I using this product. I also like the green tea scent when I wash my face, it makes me feel so relax. I would like to give the 4 stars out of 5 stars to this product. I will repurchase it when I running out of skincare stock.

Another review about the Innisfree product and this time, I would like to make a review about the Innisfree Apple Seed Lip & Eye Remover (100 ml) with the normal price is RM 26.00 in any Innisfree Store in Malaysia. This is my first time using this product, since me running out the product of makeup remover in my beauty stock.

The Apple Seed Lip & Eye Remover is a double-layered make-up remover that gently removes point make-up thoroughly. It is a refreshing make-up remover without leaving skin feeling greasy and formulated with apple seed oil. The apple seed oil is very moisturizing and nourishing, it protects sensitive skin from skin irritation due to make-up removal. It also has a 5-free system formula; which is free from mineral oil, synthetic pigments, animal ingredients, sulfate, and fragrances. 

It is easy to use. Just shake well to mix the oil and water, then pour adequate amount onto cotton pad and place over eye or lip area to dissolve and remove makeup. It works well and all my makeup is removing well from my face before I wash my face using the double cleansing method on my daily basis. I not sure this feeling after using this product, actually I feel a little bit oily after using it and it also makes my eye stings sometimes. I don't like that but I will continue using it until the finish. I would like to give the 3 stars out of 5 stars to this product. I will not repurchase this product.

On 1 month ago, I bought some kinds of stuff of Korean skincare thru the Style Korean and it includes the Klavuu Green Pearlsation Tea Tree Care Body Spray (100 ml). The normal price is RM 58.50 but I got a discount and after discount is RM 47.00. This is my first time using the brand of Klavuu from Korea. I never know about this brand before until I took some product that related to green tea for the body. It is because sometimes my back has some acne, especially in hot weather. I a little bit worried about that until I found the product thru Hermo and since Hermo has the partnership with Style Korean so it makes me easy to make the order just thru Hermo.

The Klavuu Green Pearlsation Tea Tree Care Body Spray is a spritz away body acne and irritation with this super fine mist. The formulated with tea tree oil and salicylic acid. This cooling mist is an easy way to fight breakouts on the chest, back, and any area that deserves extra attention. It is also formulated with pearl and algae extracts, this mist brightens skin and soothes irritation while instantly refreshing skin.

A natural body spray without artificial scents or colors provides the calming effect and instant hydration. The infused with the extract from Korean Pearl and Green Light Complex, it soothes sensitive and irritated skin, leaving the skin becomes youthful; and healthy as before. The Green Light Complex is the Giant Kelp Extract and Seaweed Extract. The giant kelp extract is for pore tightening and the seaweed extract is for calming and smoothing troubled skin. 

It is easy to use it, just spray it on breakouts on the body but avoiding the face. Then, leave it to dry or gently pat the skin to absorption. I using it on the daily basis when my body needed or I saw have some acne on my body. So far, I like this product and I can see the improvement in my body after using it and my body acne is slowly gone now. I would like to give the 4 stars out of 5 stars to this product. I will repurchase it too. 

On 16th July 2018 ago, I got the special voucher from Grab Malaysia, which is the 30% discount of Crabtree & Evelyn London from the total amount and the free gift of the travel kit from Crabtree & Evelyn London – just redeem this voucher by Grab points I collected while I using the Grab in daily basis. Honestly, I not familiar with this brand but I would like to try it. I did redeem this voucher at the Crabtree & Evelyn London Store in Pavilion Kuala Lumpur.

The special gift voucher I got a travel kit of Crabtree & Evelyn London Pear & Pink Magnolia Body Lotion (50ml) and Crabtree & Evelyn London Pear & Pink Magnolia Body Wash (50ml). Is it great? Another special voucher 30% off, I used it while I buy the Crabtree & Evelyn London Evelyn Rose Body Lotion (250ml) with the normal price is RM 134.00 and after discount is RM 93.80. I like the scent of the roses. 

Then, on that moment the Crabtree & Evelyn London Store made the promotion of the Travel Kit Mix & Match with 4 items 50 ml and it also get free of the Spring'14 Traveller Bag too with promo price is RM 80.00. I choose the Crabtree & Evelyn London Pear & Pink Magnolia Body Lotion (50ml), Crabtree & Evelyn London Goat Milk & Oat Body Lotion (50ml), Crabtree & Evelyn London Evelyn Rose Body Lotion (50ml), and Crabtree & Evelyn London La Source Body Lotion (50ml). Yes, I only take the body lotion because of most of the times while me going to traveling I need the body lotion rather than body wash. I'm excited to try this product soon after I finish used my current products. Soon, I will update the review some these products in here. Stay tuned…

The Son & Park is my first Korean brand; I would like to try in this year. I'm familiar with this brand but I never get chance to try any products from the Son & Park until I gone to Seoul, Korea again. On last year, I bought a lot of Korean beauty skincare product from Seoul, Korea and I also bought the Son & Park Ultimate Cover Cushion (#23 Natural Beige with SPF50+/PA+++) (15g) with the price is KRW 33,900 or around RM 128.82. The Son & Park Ultimate Cover Cushion has two shades of color; which are #21 Light Beautiful Beige and #23 Natural Beige. Normally, my skin tone will be the last shade of colors. 

The Son & Park Ultimate Cover Cushion is the very first cushion of Son & Park making the perfect skin with super covering. It has triple functional cosmetic; which are whitening, and wrinkle, and UV protection SPF50+/PA+++ with include the refill product too. The covering powder helps to even out skin tone, conceal imperfections and leaves skin refreshed and luminous. It is non-sticky, satiny texture glides easily and comfortably onto the skin. A lightweight, hydrating formula gives a buildable full-coverage and refreshing hydration that lasts. It is also blended with herbal extracts to protect the skin against external irritants. 

The special ingredients of Ultimate Cover Cushion are Hippophae Rhamnoides Extract and Greeno. The Hippophae Rhamnoides Extract is the vitamin tree, an ingredient of the hippophar rhamnoides makes it clear and transparent. The Greeno is the six patented herbal ingredients (lavender, peppermint, rosemary, chamomile, freesia, and bergamot), protect and calm from harmful environment. 

Once I apply this cushion is given medium coverage and it covers light redness. For me, this cushion is doing okay. It's good for who's have a combination or oily skin types and live in a relatively humid place like in here. Its can stand over 5 – 6 hours without cakey-feeling. Maybe on my T-zone area, I just cover or touch-up with the oil-control film. 

Sometimes, this product reminds me of the Heimish Artless Prefect Cushion and Moonshot Face Perfection Balm Cushion because it's almost working as the same feeling after using it. But the only thing, I dislike about this product is the tone color. It makes my skin look bright after I apply it on my face and neck, maybe this tone color not matches with my skin tone. So far, everything is okay with me at all. 

The package of this cushion is simple, minimal, modern, and chic. It's gorgeous and I like it. It never fails to make it look beautiful with a simple black color. It is also easy to put in my handbag and carry around with me. Overall, I would like to gives the 3 stars out of 5 stars to this product.

The first area where we will observe the fine lines and wrinkles is around the eyes areas; therefore it's important to use the moisturizer around your eyes. My current eye cream is the Innisfree Orchid Eye Cream (30 ml). This is not my first time using the product and I bought it while I'm traveling to Seoul last year. The normal price is RM 104.50 in the Innisfree Store in Malaysia.

The meticulously extracted active ingredient from Jeju orchids delivers exceptional sleekness to dry skin with its outstanding antioxidants. An anti-aging cream formulated with the vitality of Jeju orchids to tone and smooth the thin and sensitive eye areas. The Precious Orchid Elixir is a superior antioxidant ingredient extracted from Jeju orchids makes skin glowing and radiant while strengthening. The plentiful nutrition makes the skin texture healthier by reducing wrinkles, increasing elasticity, and improving the skin tone.

The Innisfree Orchid Eye Cream has a thick cream formula with a floral scent but it does not feel sticky and I feel lightweight once I apply and patted around my eyes and lips area too. The tackiness disappears after some moments as well and leaves the skin with a more nourishing, firm, and elastic touch. 

I was using it on daily basis from morning and night for a few months. In my experience, the skin around my eyes and lips now feels much better than it did before. It's also this eye cream provides enough nourishment and moisture to the lines less visible. The skin is more elastic and also smooth after applying the cream. I can see my skin improved slowly and I also look younger rather than my actual age. The product is suitable for ladies around 25 until 40 years. I would like to give the 4 stars out of 5 stars to this product. I will repurchase this product again. 

On 15th July 2018 ago, I decided to go to the Play Up Advance Store (Beauty Store) in Fahrenheit 88, Kuala Lumpur. This store is located in the Bukit Bintang area and just beside the Star Hill Mall and also nearby Pavilion Kuala Lumpur Mall. This is the first time, the Cosrx getting thru the Malaysia market store even it's also still available thru the Hermo (Online beauty site in Malaysia). 

Most of Cosrx products now in the Play Up Advance Store but sadly I saw it out of stock too. Since this brand is famous in Malaysia too after the launching of this brand. I never miss buying some of Cosrx product in the Play Up Advance Store. The product I bought is Cosrx Low pH PHA Barrier Mist (75 ml) with the normal price is RM 69.80, and the Cosrx Two in One Poreless Power Liquid (100 ml) with the normal price is RM 75.50. I also got the Cosrx stickers after I bought the Cosrx product during the promotion season. I'm excited to try this product soon after I finish used my current products. Soon, I will update the review some these products in here. Stay tuned…

Another review about the sheet mask of the Innisfree My Real Squeeze Masks (20 ml) and this kind of sheet mask has 17 variety types. But I only try a few of the My Real Squeeze Mask, which are Manuka Honey, Green Tea, Cucumber, Bamboo, Rose, and Rice. The normal price is RM 4.50 each. 

Among the Innisfree My Real Squeeze Masks types (all types) are:

Honestly, I use this sheet mask in 1 to 2 times in weeks during I do the 10-steps of night routine but it depends on my skin concerns too. This kind of sheet mask gives my skin moisture. After I remove the sheet mask around 15 – 20 minutes, I do dab the remaining ingredients on my skin but its make my skin a little bit oily after a few hours and normally I will wipe it a little bit. Since my skin type is combination and oily so I hate the oily feeling on my skin. I will try to reduce is as much as I can. Most of this sheet masks, I got as a free gift when I bought the k-beauty in South Korea because of that some of the packages is different. I would like to give the 3 stars out of 5 stars to this product.

Honestly, I do not remember how many I do the review about the Innisfree's product before this? Recently, I do love using the Innisfree's products since this brand already in Malaysia market. It makes me easy to buy it in the stores rather I bought it thru online after I running out of stock. In this post, I would like to make a review about the Innisfree Canola Honey Lip Balm – Deep Moisture (3.5g). The normal price is RM 27.00. I do have the dry lips, especially when I stay long in the air-condition moments in the office so I do need to always apply the lip balm on my lips. 

The Innisfree Canola Honey Lip Balm – Deep Moisture is a lip balm that provides intensive nourishment for delicate lips. It contains Jeju canola honey extract and canola seed oil. Just gently apply the balm and allow it to melt into the lips to add nutrients. The sweet almond and jojoba oil create a layer that prevents dry lips. 

My lips can easily dry even in the office with the air-condition situation. Not yet to say when I traveling in cold weathers. Yes, my lips are easy to dry without I notice how's fast to dry after I apply the lip balm. Normally, I have to apply the lip balm before I apply the lipstick but it's can't stay long because it dries so fast until I use the Innisfree Canola Honey Lip Balm – Deep Moisture. It moisturizes my lips and it will never get dry easily that what I love about it. I just apply frequently to my dry lips when I needed only. 

Another part I like about this lip balm is the lipstick form and it makes me easy to apply on my lips without to retouch with my hand on my lips. I hate to touch the lip balm with my hand when I need to apply it so I try to look at the package in the lipstick form rather in the tube or small tin container. The problem of lip balm the tube form is when I in the plane, this lip balm will blow up as many as it can after I open it. That the reason I more prefers the lip balm in the lipstick form. I would like to give the 4.8 stars out of the 5 stars to this product and I will repurchase again. The price is also reasonable for me. 

This year, I got the gift of hotel voucher from Copthorne Orchid Hotel Penang for 3 Days 2 Nights during my Japan Travel Agent Company Annual Dinner on last February 2018. In the hotel voucher, I'm entitled to complimentary 3 Days 2 Nights, stay in the Junior Suite Tower with buffet breakfast for two persons.


My mom just says it, that she wants to go to Penang City for a short holiday before I got this voucher. Maybe we're lucky, then I plan to go there after 2 weeks Hari Raya so I can visit some my late dad's village in Taiping, Perak on the way to go Penang City. This road trip is on 30th June 2018 (Saturday) until 2nd July 2018 (Monday). Oh yeah! I take almost 1 month to complete this travelogue. It is because I have many things to do so it's really taking my time to complete it.


The journey by car from Kuala Lumpur to Penang is taken around 5 hours to 6 hours drive thru highway PLUS (north-south). The toll fee for one way is around RM 45.00. This long road journey is making me feel so tired; even we're passing by my aunt and uncle house in Taiping, Perak. We're safely arriving at the Copthorne Orchid Hotel Penang around 3:30 pm. After we're done the check-in room, we take rest before going out for dinner since all of my family members are tired.




It's not my first time going on holiday to Penang City, my last trip to Penang is on 5th July 2013 until 7th July 2013 with my late dad and my mom. Its take after 5 years, I'd come back to Penang City with my mom, sister, and brother. Just four of us take this short trip. (P/S: I didn't know why I do not update the travelogue about the Penang City in July 2013. Maybe at that time, I just start making the blog and I do not take it seriously until a few years ago.)





For me, it's nothing much changing about Penang City, except road in the town and the new modern buildings around the city. The journey from Pulau Pinang Bright to the Copthorne Orchid Hotel Penang is around 14KM, which is located at the Tanjung Bungah, Pulau Pinang but the journey is taken almost 40 minutes to 50 minutes to arrive there. It's because the traffic was crazy on that day. Sometimes I feel like in Kuala Lumpur City when I arrive at the Penang City. The traffic of these two cities is almost the same conditions.






We're not having the special activity to do on the first day we're arriving at Penang City. We're taking our dinner at the hotel since the hotel makes the promotion of the buffet dinner with the price is RM 42.00/pax and it's just open on Saturday only. It's on the reasonable price for me and my family. After dinner, we take rest at room and excited for the next day tour.




On next morning, after breakfast my mom decides to take the private charter car for one day tour because she thinks it's can save our time, since we're don't know the road around Penang City even we're can search by thru the Waze application in the phone. This private charter's company just located at the hotel lobby. The fee is RM 140.00 for 4 hours and RM 35.00 for every extra hour we're taken. The total hours we're taken are 8 hours and the cost is RM 280.00 with our own choice places that we want to go for one day and we can spend time as long as we want. The drive will wait for us until we call him for pick up us and moving to next places.






The first place we're going is The Tropical Fruit Farm. This Tropical Fruit Farm is located at Jalan Teluk Bahang, 11000 Pulau Pinang, Malaysia. The journey from the hotel is taken around 40 minutes to arrive at the Tropical Fruit Farm. The entrance fee of Farm Tour with the guide is RM 40 for adult and RM 30 for the child. It's including the fruit plate and fruit juice at the restaurant. For Malaysian citizen, the entrance fee is RM 30 for adult and you need to show your IC to them before making the payment.






The Tropical Fruit Farm was built to preserve the green heritage. As a contribution to the future generations of Malaysia, they have planted all types of local fruits as well as fruits from around the world. The farm wants to play its positive role towards agriculture despite the intensive development in our country's rural area.






Here on the 25-acre Tropical Fruit Farm, they have more than 250 types of tropical and sub-tropical fruits. Some of which will tantalize your taste buds. Not only are they delectable, they are also rich in natural vitamins, minerals, and fibers too. I've learned a lot on this farm and at the same time, I'd enjoy too. Its make me remember the moments I stay at my late grandmother's house in the village when I was a child. I miss so much that moments and I hope I can return back in time to that moments.





The second place is the Entopia by Penang Butterfly Farm. It's the funny part, I don't know the entrance fee is RM 45.00 for adult and it's expensive for us just to look the butterfly even this place is the new park in Penang City. So we're deciding to move to the next places after we're taken the photo at the outside of the Entopia.


Then, we're moving to the Georgetown for taken late lunch. The journey from Batu Ferringhi to Georgetown is taken almost 50 minutes to 1 hour. It's depending on the traffic condition on that day. Before we're going to lunch, we're passing by to the Local Chocolate Shop and Local Coffee Shop. My mom is always good in shopping part. She buys some of the local chocolate and coffee for souvenirs to family and friends. These two shops are close by for each other so we're just walk to going next shop.



After that, we decide to eat one of the famous foods in Penang, which is Pasembur. The drive brings us to the famous location of the Pasembur that is located at the Padang Kota Lama, Penang. It's late lunch because the time is shown at 3:30 pm on that day. My sister knew which shop is famous and delicious in that food court area so we're straight going to that shop.



I don't know that payment part because it's done by my mom and my sister since I just seat on the table we're choosy. My mom orders the Penang Pasembur, Sotong Kangkung, and Sotong Bakar with ABC and ice lime tea with the total cost is RM 90.00. As you can see, it's full table and it's so delicious too. I recommend tasting one of the famous foods in Penang City when you come to Penang.











After late lunch, we're moving to the next place which is the Street Art Wall. It's also one of the attractive tourist spots in Penang City. We're never missing to find this spot. It's fun for walking around the heritage shops in this area. It's located at the 316, Beach St. Georgetown, 10300 George Town, Penang. 



If you watching the KBS Battle Trip Show, one of the married artist couples have come to Penang and they are going to this place too. I give little hints here, just walk the entire little road in this areas because on every little road have the beautiful Street Art Wall that great to take the photos.






The last places we're going are The Thai Buddhist Temple (Wat Chaiyamangalaran). This place is located at the Lorong Burma just outside George Town's historic heritage zone. It is directly opposite the Dhammikarama Burmese Temple making it convenient for tourists to cover both temples in a single visit. The Thai Buddhist Temple was open on daily basis from 6 am until 5:30 pm.






We're just lucky when we're arriving there before 5:30 pm before they are close this place. I get the chance to take some photos around this places. I have never been going to Thailand yet but it has in my travel list. I hope in the future I get the chance to visit Thailand.

Then, we're straight going back to the hotel for rest before we're going out again to go to the Batu Ferringhi Night Market just for window shopping and take dinner in that area. For me is nothing special at the Batu Ferringhi Night Market. That's all the full day tour around the Penang City. My mom wishes to go there again in the future. It's so fun activities with my family.





On last day, we're going back to Kuala Lumpur after breakfast since we're working on the next day. It's a long journey from Penang to Kuala Lumpur by car. We're safely arriving at home after 6 hours journey. It's so tiring but its fun too for me even it's just a short road trip. It's great to release stress from works. That's my entire story about the Road Trip to Penang City, Malaysia in June 2018 with my family. I hope you're enjoying reading about it.
