1st cosmetic product review: Clinique Anti-Blemish Liquid Foundation

I have never done a review on any cosmetic product previously, but recently I found that it will be quite interesting and meaningful to share with all of you what I found to be able to work for me. I must admit I'm not a girl who is very good or research a lot in make up or skin care, but I do follow my beauty regime (cleanse, tone, hydrate, and add on function according to you need), and I do put on make up sometimes or occasionally :p

Recently I just purchase a new foundation as the one that I'm using (Dior Snow series) is finishing, and I would like to try on a new one :) So I went to the departmental store to have a look and survey. At the end of the day, I purchase this Clinique Anti-Blemish Liquid foundation because I do have blemishes and acne (especially at the jawlines.....). And I'm also looking for a product that does not cause my skin to look oily and cakey at the end of the day. This product claimed to be oil-free, and helps to conceal and control breakout at the same time. How exciting right?!

Packaging

The bottle of the foundation itself is plastic container, and it is a squeeze and pour type instead of a bottle with pump. Let's see what I mean from the picture below.

Bottle with pump may seem more hygienic, but I think it should not be a problem for Clinique as you must remember to close the lid every time after you used it. And this design of bottle also allow you to used up until the last drop of your foundation as you can tilt it upside down and squeeze out the last drop!!!



Price

This bottle of 30ml liquid foundation has cost me RM125 which is a burn in pocket to be honest. You could probably get a Loreal or Maybelline brand foundation at about RM50 in Watson :) But if you compare to counter brand like Kanabo or Estee Lauder or Dior (if not mistaken should be RM160), Clinique price range will not be the highest. And hope it worth the money I spend also~~

SPF Protection

Clinique Anti Blemish liquid foundation does not provide any sunscreen protection. However, I do put on sunscreen after beauty regime and before make up regardless if the moisturizer or foundation claim to have certain level of SPF. I still will use the sunblock with SPF50, PA+++ as I'm living in Malaysia. So no worries at my side but if you are relying on foundation to provide the sunscreen protection then you may need to reconsider.

How it feels on skin and coverage

I apply the foundation using the complimentary brush given through this purchase of product. It feels smooth on the skin and it does provide coverage to the blemishes I have on my skin, and on the same time my skin also appear to be less red and does not look irritated. However, the coverage on blemishes and acne scar is to moderate, and if you need more coverage you need to use concealer as well. And the most importantly at the end of the day under hot sun, it does not melt or feels very sticky ^.^ I think I will continue to use this product and to observe if it has any effect on blemishes control, as it will not appear to be very obvious with only one use.

Suitable for skin type: Oily, blemish, easily irritated skin
Value for money: 3.5 out of 5.0
Overall rating: 4.0 out of 5.0

Langkawi Seafood: 同心圆 GLK TONG SHAM YUN Seafood Restaurant

Langkawi Day 1: Dinner   We have chosen Tong Sham Yun Seafood as our first night dinner. Read a few review about Wonderland and Tong Sham Yun which is located side by side in Kuah town, I decided to go to Tong Sham Yun as the review is better in term of service and charge.   And we can see that Wonderland is full of foreigners that dine in there, while Tong Sham Yun have more of local or Malaysian tourist. The atmosphere is nice, located just beside a river and the dining is open aired. The owner is nice and friendly, recommended a few dishes which I think is definitely recommended!!! First on the list, the santan prawn 椰汁虾 (RM 27). Nice and sweet, with the aroma of santan and some spice such as curry, the combination is very nice and it taste surprise to me. I have never taste prawn which is cook in this manner and it is good : ) Definitely thumbs up for this!   The steam fish, freshly catch (not the frozen type). Cost us RM 8 per 100g (RM 48 in total), the owner has ch

Where to eat in Langkawi: Chinese coffee shop

  Saw a lot of post complaint about there is no Chinese food in Langkawi, so here I am to share where did I find Chinese food in Langkawi during my trip.   Besides the seafood restaurant Tong Sham Yun Seafood  which you could read about the review following the link above, I'm gonna share about the lunch that we had after island hooping.   This is the kind of coffee shop that we could find around Malaysia, however I did not see much in Langkawi. We found it on our way back to hotel in the afternoon, located at the end of the same street where Hotel Bahagia located. Sorry for not remember the name of the shop, but it is easy to spot if you can find Hotel Bahagia, or follow the coordination I shared below.   There is not much variety or stall in the shop, and we saw most of the customer are from local and many of them are having Pan Mee. So we follow and ordered dried Pan Mee which cost RM 5.00. Quite reasonable in fact, knowing we are tourist : ) All of us feel satisfy with th
