Travel to Korea

Senin, 14 November 2016

As a travel blogger, I always search skincare products that can nourish my skin as I always get sun exposure throughout the day when I travel. Currently, I using Botanical Effect® product from Mary Kay for about 3 weeks. Now I want to share these great products with you after I have used it. Mary Kay has just launched these products on 1^st of November. As you know Mary Kay is renowned for its beauty products and I was satisfied with these new products.

This Mary Kay Botanical Effect®consists of 2 main ingredients which are my favourite. First, is the Dragon fruit. Dragon fruit, the ultimate super fruit contains fatty acids and several B-complex vitamins, including the often-called “anti-stress vitamin” B1(thiamine), plus B2(riboflavin) and B3 (niacin). Furthermore, dragon fruit is full of minerals like iron, calcium and phosphorus. The dragon fruit extract in the Botanical Effect® Skin Care is rich in antioxidants to help fight damaging free radical. Thus, it suits for those who always work in the air conditioned room. The second ingredient is the Aloe Vera which is the most nutritious plants in the world as it contains more than 75 nutrients, including 20 minerals and 12 vitamins. Aloe Vera not only helps to maintain the skin moisture barrier and has high vitamin E content(a popular antioxidant in skin care products), but also promote healthy skin and cell turnover. The aloe extract in the Botanical Effect® Skin Care gives your skin an added boost of antioxidants.

Before that, I let you know my skin condition is Dry and Sensitive as a reference.

Let me introduce their 5-series products which are suitable for All Skin Types.

üoil and fragrance-free

üNon-comedogenic

üSuitable for sensitive skin (dermatologist tested)

üClinical tested for skin irritancy

1. Botanical Effects Gel Cleanser 127g (RM75): Cleans deeply and effectively, and even dissolves all traces of oil.

Step: Dampen face, neck, and hands. Apply a small amount of cleanser into hands and work into a lather. Massage lather onto face and around your neck. Rinse thoroughly. Recommendation: For a better cleansing, I suggest you to use their cleansing brush to wash your face which allows the skincare products to absorb better and more quickly. Even makeup applies more easily and evenly.

After use: Although it is less foam than the foaming cleanser, but I feel my face quite clean and soothing at the same time. If you have a dry or acne skin, you should try out this gel cleanser.

2. Botanical Effects Exfoliating Scrub 88ml (RM75): Exfoliates to remove dead and dull skin , leaving pores feeling deeply cleaned

Step: Dampen face, neck, and hands. Apply a small amount of scrub into hands and gently massage onto face and neck in a circular motion, avoiding the eye area. Rinse thoroughly.

After use: My skin looks brighter and cleaner. Recommend to use it morning or night after the Gel cleanser 2-3 times a week.

3. Botanical Effects Toner 147ml (RM75): Traces of dirt are wiped away – as are complexion-dulling dead skin cells- for a complete clean.

Steps: After cleaning the skin, apply a small portion to a cotton ball or pad, and smooth over the face and neck, avoiding the eye area.

After use: I don’t have the sticky feel after using it. It brings the soothing effects to my skin. It is easily absorbed by my skin and I like the scent of the toner at the same time.

4. Botanical Effects Moisturizer 85g (RM85): Quick-absorbing gel does not feel greasy, yet it moisture for 12 hours.

Step: Apply to clean neck and face upward strokes

After use: I have the cooling and soothing feel after apply on my face. I’m personally like this gel moisturizer, even smell so good after a day. Seriously, I love this so much.

Do you hear about Tottori? Tottori is home to a range of natural wonders like the sand dunes of Sanin Kaigan Geopark and the towering Mt. Daisen. Another special thing worth to mention is the home of Manga where the born of Kitaro and Detective Conan. Each prefecture will have their own famous food and I will share about Tottori food.

Today I will focus on the Tottori Food Fair that I went on 11th November! There is a lot of Japanese food you can search there.

First, I want to mention about the most famous crab in the town >>>Matsubagani Ryouri the "snow crab.” It has super long arms and is super tasty. You need to try it!! It’s super juicy. There are 2 types of Matsuba crab at the Tottori Food Fair which is Pine Needle Crab and Red Queen Crab. The crab caught in the morning are boiled but not frozen before being sent directly to you so you can still taste the freshness of the crab.

If you feel want to drink the soup, they also provide Kanijuu in a powder form which is the crab soup using the snow crab. It was selling fast at Tottori food fair. It's a hot-selling product! The Matsuba crab is Tottori's winter delicacy. Enjoy a crab dish with a local sake is a perfect way to spend a winter evening. It can be cooked in a different way like boiled, baked, raw and others.

You can try their Kani Sushi made from the raw snow crab.

Another famous food is their pear and persimmon! There are Shinko pear and Oushu Pear selling in the Tottori Food Fair. They are juicy and crunchy.

Besides that, they also sell non-alcoholic plum wine. I do like their plum wine. You can try it before you buy.

Fresh yam and white leek are the local product from Tottori. Dune length potato boasts skin is clean, and the long straight. Since the moderate tenacity, it is a silky, available in a variety of dishes as well as a strip cut or grated yam, okonomiyaki, and fried. White leek from Tottori is one the biggest provider of leeks in Western Japan.

My favourite ice cream!! I bought a Matcha Green Tea Ice Cream.It's taste awesome!! You should try it! Another popular flavour is the 20th Century Pear Ice Sherbet! It has a juicy taste!

When I have my gathering with friends, I choose tom yum and chicken soup base. I like both of the soup base especially chicken soup. Another signature food worth to be mentioned is their meat slices!!! I’m a meat lover so I will concern about what type of meat they will provide.

Pak John has claimed that they served more than 100 varieties such as vegetables, meat, seafood and all kinds of quality food. They had a clear section for each type food. From vegetable section to dessert section, all you can eat without limit your time.

Besides this, you also look out their hot food and their dim sum too. At the same section, you may see a row of sauces from spicy to sweet which is homemade by them. I like the super-hot chili sauces most.

If you want to have some snack, you may try their waffle and kaya balls. My friends and I try to DIY the waffle with our own favourite ice cream as toppings. It tastes quite nice! They also served some light food such as steam corn and porridge. You may try it after you have your BBQ food. If you feel thirsty, there is a wide range of drinks for you to choose from soft drinks, coffee and also fruit juices. Don’t forget to have some fruits before you go back home. They are cut and chill in the fridge.
