Serywn travel kit- for everyone and anyone (plus giveaways!)

Skincare are just so expensive these days!
And sometimes, brands do not have a smaller bottle to sample so we have no choice but to buy the full sized product only to find out later that it's not suitable for our skin ='(
Hundreds and hundreds of bucks are wasted just to try out the products and ended up wasting 3/4 of the solution because of skin allergies etc

Introducing Serywn skincare which is not only at the same level with brands like SK II, La Mer, Estee Lauder etc, but with a fraction of price AND you can try out their travel kit to first test whether it's suitable for your skin.

This handy travel kit is so convenient for travel and it comes with a beautiful pouch so you can just grab n' go!

Serywn tackles 7 major skin problems mainly:

a) Dry skin
b) Pores
c) Skin dullness
d) Fine lines
e) Uneven Skin Tone
f) Sensitive Skin
g) Speckle

Serywn is made in Taiwan and is made of deep sea minerals so be sure to know that it's FREE from:
-Preservatives
-Paraffin Oil
-Alcohol

The main ingredients of Serywn products are:

 a) Deep sea water(extracted from 600m below ocean level) 
-Extracted from deep ocean water at 600m below ocean surface which is pure and uncontaminated. Deep Ocean is rich in natural sea minerals and trace elements, containing magnesium, calcium and potassium.

b) Maifanite Stone Extract(commonly known as healing stone) 
-Maifanite stone is very porous and contain high micro nutrient elements. That makes it readily absorb impurities contained in the water and able to balance the radical ions. It regulates skin metabolism effectively and improves skin moisture

c) Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract
-It has the inhibitory effect on the activity of Tyrosine which causes the black pigmentation in skin

d) Humulus Lupulus Extract
-This ancient herbal plant contains high natural preservative qualities and gives optimum moisturising effect for a radiant complexion

The travel kit comes with 5 bottles of skincare together with a mask.

Let's go through step by step on how to use Serywn skincare travel kit:

Firstly is of course to deep cleanse our skin with the Moisturising Cleansing Gel, 20ml

What I love about Serywn is not only the effectiveness but also the little things.
They specially made a small tube to cover the opening so that the solution doesn't pour when you travel and it is intact in the bottle!

It is a transparent liquid which lathers into a soft creamy foam to effectively deep cleanse pores inside-out removing dirt and other impurities.

Gently lather an appropriate amount of cleanser on moistened palm and apply on damp face and neck.
After cleansing and massaging face, it leaves skin moist, clean and fresh!

The Advanced Hydrating Toner, 20ml is important in our skincare daily routine.

Just drop some onto palm and...

...dab onto face so that it penetrates into skin immediately.
This advanced hydrating toner effectively keeps the skin soothed, calmed and balances the skin's moisture level. It also prepares skin for better absorption of the benefits of the other Serywn products.

Next is Advanced Activating Concentrate, 6ml
This is a concentrated essence that penetrates quickly and deeply to build the skin's resistance by filling it with moisture and to brighten skin leaving skin brighter and luminous.

It contains 2-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid which is Vitamin C derivative, and can penetrate into skin more effectively and metabolised into ascorbic acid(Vitamin C), which is an antioxidant to increase the synthesis of collagen. 

Apply over cleansed and toned face and neck using light, upward movement.

Now, my favourite!
This Moisturising Hydrating Cream is so suitable for my oily skin and the humid climate.

Just press some onto palm...

...and dab it all over the face to refresh and soothe face leaving skin feeling soft and elastic! This moisturiser seals the retains moisture in the upper layers of the skin (epidermis layer). It creates a barrier on your skin that keeps oils from escaping and outside harmful elements from entering that causes skin dryness and irritation.

The Advanced Protective Cream, 6gm acts as a sunblock and designed specially for sensitive skin

The left side was applied with the Advanced Protective Cream while the right is bare.
As you can see, it gives skin a moisturised luminous glow while guarding skin against UVA and UVB radiation.

Lastly, the best seller and most recommended Serywn product!
This mask is as good as an SKII mask. Trust me, I have tried both before.

This hydrating firming mask improves dry and rough skin in just 15 minutes! It is enriched with repairing essences to leave skin supple, moisturised and have that 'boink' 'boink' skin elasticity hehe 

Pampering time!
This mask is the ultimate 'magic' solution for me.

Close up.
Before Serywn skincare and the mask, my skin was dull and rough.
After cleansing, toning and masking, in just half an hour, my skin immediately became brighter and glowing ^_^
I absolutely love this mask and a great shoutout to Serywn mask because you MUST absolutely try it for yourself =)

The only downside- the travel kit is too small for me haha...I had to repurchase in full sized products especially the mask!!

This skincare kit is of the most natural, harmless and non toxic skincare set I have used as it has no harmful chemical contents. Serywn is produced from ingredients of high permeability that can easily penetrate the skin lining into the inner layers. This gives skin better repairing results. 

With Noxious-Ingredients-Free (NIF) technique of production, Serywn pampers you with a soft, healthier and more radiant skin. It also reduces the chances of allergic reaction to skin and provide a superb skincare solution. Using this biotechnology technique, natural plant extracts undergo natural decomposition to produce the high-tech preservative, which contain no harmful toxics like chemical preservative(patrabens), DEHP, paraffin oil, alcohol or heavy metal elements. It rebuilds epidermis layers, rejuvenates and provides a perfect skin protection system.

Don't take my word for it. Just see it for yourself:

This user, Sean Choi used Serywn for 1 month or so and the results speak for itself. His acne prone skin has cleared up and his skin no longer have bad breakouts. If you see him in real life, you'll agree when I say he radiates because he does! Serywn really cleared up his skin and everyone around him are just impressed with the results ^_^

Another user, Felicia Tan had very visible acnes, scars and skin discolouration before this. But after constant usage of Serywn products for a year, just look at her 'After' pictures. Her skin cleared up, her skin tone is more even, and no more visible scarring. Amazing right?

Her testimonial:

"I have very sensitive skin ever since I was young, combined with an active and outdoor lifestyle, I always grew up with constant pimples and acne problems on my face. Have tried many pharmacy brands and even salon brands but the results are only temporary and when that time of the month comes, I would still have to suffer acne breakouts. I tried Serywn for at least 6 months consistently and saw proper results and safe to say that after 1 year, my skin complexion is totally different. My pimples and acnes have drastically reduced and scars and skin discolouration is now barely visible. Also, my pores are much smaller. Now, I don't have to use such heavy concealer to conceal any imperfections."

All individual product in the travel kit are also sold individually in their own full sized product. If you feel your skin connects more to one product better than the other, you can always re-purchase your favourite product in full size. Serywn has a wide range of products for different purposes and in fact they have in total 11 different types of skincare products, but for starters, this travel kit is highly recommended for first users!

Want to get beautiful glowing skin as well?

Food hopping!

This is food hopping for July edition hehe

Let me trace back the restaurants I have visited last month, some of which are below:

I frequent this Japanese restaurant at SS15 Subang these past few months and rather more frequent in July. It's cozy and we know the chef so it's easy to just hold after working hours meetings here.
Jyu Raku,
13, Jalan SS15/5A, 47500 Subang Jaya

We usually order a lot and sometimes when the food comes, we immediately dig in because the sashimis are just SOOOO freshh!! Hence, why although I frequent this restaurant, but I hardly have any pictures from here LOL

Yes, you can hardly get any fresher than this!

Before this, I was not usually a fan of sashimi because it's too raw for me but after Jyu Raku, I'm a convert. I love their sashimis especially the salmon belly and their Jyuraku sushi roll are a must try!

Next, I was craving for pies the other day so where else to go than A Pie Thing, Sunway.

Pies for lunch. Love the mash potato and gravy top.

And nothing beats a dessert smores pie with a scoop of rich vanilla ice cream on top.
Yums! I totally almost finished the whole pie myself haha

I have been wanting to try Oh Scooter Cafe, USJ 21 for quite some time but never seem to have the time. Finally managed to squeeze some for supper haha

Their famous cotton candy coffee is their most unique feature.
But I actually find that I don't know how to eat them together LOL. Am I supposed to dip the cotton candy somewhere? Because if I dip inside the coffee, it'll just melt. Or am I supposed to eat it separate and drink my coffee? Food for thought haha

Their oreo cheesecake is not quite bad as well. Overall, a very decent cafe.

Next up, Restaurant Yan Yan, Old Klang Road.
If you find that at 12 midnight you're craving for crabs, this is the place to go because it opens 24 hours and the food is just delicious!! Don't ask me why we were eating dishes at 12 midnight, but it's one of those YOLO moments haha

Salted Egg with crab.
I could eat this all day! The meat was juicy, the crabs were fresh and cooked to perfection and when it's midnight and you're hungry, this could be the best meal of the day haha

Seafood platter. It consists of prawns, la- la, squid, clams. 
This is another yummy dish and we literally finished it till the last scoop haha

If you're around Kepong and have no where to go, you can drop by Beam Cafe, Bandar Sri Damansara

Their signature nasi lemak is not bad but I felt that the sambal could improve.

Their chicken aglio olio is good however some may not like the amount of garlic in it.
Overall, nice ambience and they have a fusion of western and local dishes and their own hand brewed coffee.

Thai Tuk Tuk, Publika has a very 'Thailand' feel with the restaurant decorated in Thai style.
However, I must say that their food does not taste authentic Thai.

The Pad Thai was a bit too orangey for me. I don't know if it's colouring but it tasted good to me.

Their breakfast eggs can also be served all day long.
I love the runny eggs with sausages and crab sticks. It's probably the best dish there and it's not even Thai food LOL

Mango sticky rice.

Pink Milk Tea which is essentially strawberry milk tea lol
Quite disappointed with their food and the prices are quite expensive. 

Just last week, we went all the way to Banting, which is quite 'ulu' and far from my workplace for a meeting.

Ended up just trying cendol from this Restoran Cendol Ibrahim, Banting, I don't know why is it so famous but most blogs wrote to stop by here for cendol if in Banting so we did haha. It tasted like normal cendol and the ice shavings were quite rough and not smooth but it just costs RM1.50. So cheap!

Last but not least, finally got to try P.S Tokyo's soft serve ice cream at SS2.

Hojicha and Matcha soft serve.
It's very rich and it's RM9.90 for a regular cup which is quite reasonable considering it's very rich in taste. This is one of the best soft serve I have ever tasted by far.

That's all for now! More food and travels to come in the month of September =)

Bioderma Hydrabio Perfecteur SPF 30 PA+++

Thanks to BFFsays.com, I received this Bioderma Hydrabio Perfecteur for review.



Pollution, stress, and UV rays contribute to skin dehydration and premature skin aging on a daily basis. When the skin becomes dehydrated, the epidermis breaks down, forms fine lines and feels tight. Consequently, the complexion loses its colour and becomes dull. Luckily Bioderma innovates and creates a new generation physiological moisturisation. Thanks to an emulsion inspired by the structure of the epidermis, the active ingredients act in a more targeted and effective manner to reactivate the natural moisturising process and boost water circulation within the cells.

Enriched with soft focus and light reflecting agents, Hydrabio Perfecteur immediately soothes the skin texture, brightens the complexion and enhances natural radiance. Thanks to its anti UVA-UVB filters, it provides high protection against the harmful effects of UV rays and prevents premature skin ageing.

The best part is that it has this pump and not the normal squeeze tube.
It's so easy to use and you only need one and a half pump at most.

Initially when I saw that it is written for sensitive dehydrated skin, I was skeptical whether this product will be suitable for my skin because mine is oily/combination skin.

Fortunately, this cream has a velvety feeling and not those oily and thick cream which will definitely be bad for my skin. It is also slightly pinkish in colour to give the skin an extra radiant boost =)

Also, it is a 2 in 1. It can be used as a moisturiser as well as suncare since it has SPF30 PA+++
Good for travel because it comes in handy and I'm bringing this everywhere I go now!

Apply onto face and neck in the morning after cleansing. It is excellent for make up base.
The skin texture looks immediately smoother and the complexion is visibly unified, bright and radiant.

The benefits are as follows:
- Conceals blemishes and micro-wrinkle
- Durably smooths skin texture and immediately enlightens the complexion
- Prevents skin ageing & protects from UV rays
- Intensely and durably hydrates

After application, it does feel like second skin and it lastingly moisturises and protects the skin for skin to regain radiance, softness and plumpness.

RM135.00 for 40ml

You can get it from BFFsays.com

Pink Passion E Light Derm Lift (plus discount voucher!)

After my Eyelash Extension at Pink Passion, I am back here again for facial rejuvenation treatment once again thanks to The Butterfly Project!

The easily spotted pink salon in Sunway Mas Commercial Centre is definitely an eye attraction.


What's even more attractive is their cozy room with pink curtains and quilt and Christmas-y lightings. Very beautiful and girly and I must say the quilt is super fluffy and comfy!


Changed into my robe and I'm ready for my facial!

My beautician checked my face and told me she will be doing a skin rejuvenation facial which includes the E-light Derm Lift treatment for me.

So, my skin was cleansed and scrubbed and then the painful extraction came ='( My skin's biggest problem is blackheads. Because I have oily/combination skin, my pores tend to clog and blackheads are often seen resulting in large pores and acne. My beautician extracted most of the stubborn blackheads and my skin is now clean!

Thereafter, a cooling mask is applied to soothe my skin after extraction and to prep my skin for the E Light Derm Lift treatment.

This machine is used for the E-Light Derm Lift treatment where it mainly works based on technologies with bi-polar radio frequency + IPL + contact cooling. Using IPL + RF technologies for hair removal, skin is also rejuvenated where wrinkle improves, skin is lifted, acne and pigmentation removed, and vascular or capillary lesions improved.

It uses light pulse, with high pulse repetition rates. It feels like shots of laser heat on the skin. The beautician will check with you whether the heat is bearable for you and if okay, she will proceed. It was more like ant bites and because there's cooling gel on your skin, sometimes you can't feel the laser heat at all. The treatment is quick, safe and harmless.

It's a 2 in 1 machine where:

IPL(Intensive pulsed light) which targets tissues with high IPL absorbability such as hair follicles, surface red capillary and collagen. If those places have been exposed to higher IPL engery, it will be destroyed in the process of heat.

That's where RF comes in where with the support of RF, even under lower IPL energy, it can reach and heat up target tissue protecting skin from getting burned by the high IPL energy but achieve better results. The heating caused by interaction of RF energy and dermal resistance can be transmitted to dermal layer to stimulate the collagen fibres to regenerate. Plus, with the cooling gel applied, it protects the epidermis making treatment safe to undergo.

The beautician did half part of my face first to show the results so I could see a before and after. The machine really worked wonders because I could see my pores shrunk and my skin slightly lifted in just 15 minutes of treatment.

After that, masking time: 


The whole facial took 2 hours to complete. No complicated surgery, no downtime, nothing.

A bit of redness due to extraction but overall skin is definitely rejuvenated and glowing!

I was told that for oily/combination skin, acne/pimples may come out after 2-3 days of treatment but will clear away in 7 days because all the excess sebum and dirt will be flushed out after the treatment for clearer skin later. True enough, I had some breakout within 2-3 days after the facial but it cleared up within a week and my skin look so much clearer and radiant!

I could feel that the treatment did control the excretion of excess oil because my skin felt less oily the week after. 

And special thanks to Pink Passion, my readers get to enjoy the same facial treatment for only RM88! Normal price is RM498 and they are so generous to give an 82% discount just for you! If I were you, I would quickly book my appointment with them today. Definitely no regrets and it's so worth the whole 2 hour facial treatment to rejuvenate skin =)

Just print this voucher and let them know you will be using it when booking for appointment.
This voucher expires on 30th September 2016.
Terms and conditions apply.
