Beautylicious Review: Klairs Gentle Black Sugar Polish

There are many types of sugar in market which came in different colours, sizes and benefits. Each and every type came with its own specialty either in cooking or beauty usage.

Black sugar is a common ingredient in Asian cooking. Black sugar is healthier and more tasty than white processed sugar; brown sugar has a few of the benefits of black sugar, but really isn't as good. 

It can look quite similar to brown sugar, but black sugar is even darker - almost black. Black sugar is popular in Taiwan. Compared to processed sugar, which has a very flat, characterless taste, black sugar is 'round', with a lot more flavor.  Unlike processed sugar, black sugar contains molasses, plus potassium, iron, calcium and other minerals.


Thus if you are bumped into the Klairs Black Sugar Polish, then you are the lucky ones. I received mine about few months ago from Natta De Cosme and was unable to share my review back then due to my face condition. Due to some whitening product that I came across with, I suffered massive breakouts and thus causing me to have difficulties to show my naked face picture especially in public.

However, thanks to Klairs Gentle Black Sugar Polish because now my massive breakouts is now reduced and in fact it getting better. Also thanks to its Black Sugar formula, this product not only meant for cleanse, but it also brighten up my complexion. 

Description about the product

This sugar scrub for face contains an abundance of black sugar. Black sugar aids in the removal of dead skin cells and blackheads. It exfoliates of dry skin with ease and adds a glossy smooth look to the skin. When the seasons change, the skin tends to become a bit uneven with dry patches. These dry patches and cause makeup to apply unevenly and look “caked”. By using the Klairs Gentle Black Sugar Scrub for Face once a week, you can achieve smooth soft skin that is perfect for makeup application. If you use Klairs gentle black sugar scrub with a cleansing oil, you can see even better results!

Main Ingredients

The Klairs Gentle Black Sugar Polish contains few main ingredients that would resulting to few benefits as follows:-



Features

This product suitable for all skin type and is recommended for every skincare routine. As a result you would feel the instant moisture on the skin. The skin appears more flexible. Not only that, it contain Anti-aging treatment which one of the great element to keep us to look young and freeeee.

For those who are having any skin problem such as eczema, rashes, acne or pimples, this product would relief you from minor dermatologist problems. This product would exfoliate and remove the dead skin cells. Not only that, it will also remove blackheads and whiteheads while preventing new ones. This product would also remove and treat flaking dry skin. Its a great news for me who is having a very dry skin condition.

Product Texture & Scent

The first time I feel the texture, it filled with granule of sugar (in bright brown colour). The combination of shea butter content makes it bit greasy but its thick and non dry. Upon swatched it to the back of my hand, I can feel the granule of the sugar ran through my skin and I love how it exfoliate just right and its not too harsh to the skin.  

When I smell it for the first time, it scented like a herbal. Its a combination of turmeric and other spices which I cant tell. Nevertheless, thank god the scent is bearable.

How to apply it?

The diagram below would show you step by step how to use the product:-


The above is the recommended way of how you can apply the product to the skin. However, at my case, the way how I apply the product is as follows:-

1. After I cleanse my face, I just applied the right amount of the Klairs Gentle Black Sugar Polish to selected part of my face. My concern part would be my nose area (due to whiteheads and blackheads), cheek, forehead, chin and other area (due to the dead skin cells). 

2. After apply some of the product, I started to massage my skin in circular motion. With the sugar granule assistance, it helps to exfoliate and triggered the face muscle and the face cells. This would enhance the blood capillary movement and thus the cell reproduction process is much faster and resulting your skins more tighter. 

3. Whilst applying the product, I did not apply any water because the sugar granule itself melted after a while (I believe this due to our hot humid and body heat). Hence, it did not cause any harsh to the skin.

4. It is best to cleanse it with warm water to ensure all the product remnant is fully remove from the face. The result, I feel more fresh, more clean, the my face complexion is much brighter and of course younger!!!

5. Then I proceed with Essence, Serum and Moisturiser to complete my facial care routine. 

My Verdict

I love this product! When comes to scrub product I always go with a slight bigger granule and sandy type and hence, Klairs Gentle Black Sugar Polish is just perfect for all.

Price and where to purchase?

You may get further details of the product at Natta De Cosme website. Normal Price is RM98.00. But now Natta De Cosme is having a massive discount at their website and the Klairs Gentle Black Sugar Polish can be purchased at RM78.00.

Since that the product is still in stock, you better hurry before it out of stock!! Until we meet again in my next post. xoxo

“HAVE BOLD TASTE AND INTENSE CHARACTER with Make It BLACK and Johnnie Walker


JOHNNIE WALKER® BLACK LABEL® unveiled the exciting new campaign with international artist, Mattia Biagi, as part of the JOHNNIE WALKER® CHARACTER series. This fresh direction celebrates the individual taste and personality profiles of the different JOHNNIE WALKER® variants.


Mattia Biagi, famed for his powerful black artworks, partnered with JOHNNIE WALKER® to find the perfect expression of the character of BLACK LABEL and show the powerful beauty of black. The scene is of dramatic transformation, as items symbolising classical luxury are turned strikingly black and intense with the use of paint and fire, and consumers are inspired to “HAVE BOLD TASTE AND INTENSE CHARACTER”. 



JOHNNIE WALKER® BLACK LABEL® launches MAKE IT BLACK, a series of events designed to bring to life the boldness and intensity of the new campaign for fans to enjoy. Following two successful club level events, JOHNNIE WALKER® is taking MAKE IT BLACK to a new level, hosting the largest and most exciting event the campaign has seen this 31st October in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. By invitation only, so as to ensure it is the biggest fans of the brand who are seeing the beauty of black come to life, this event sets to redefine how whisky is perceived. 

The MAKE IT BLACK campaign serves as a significant milestone for the brand as it evolves away from the classic image of JOHNNIE WALKER® BLACK LABEL® into an edgier, more vibrant personality. Inspired by Generation Y, the young, independent risk-takers, MAKE IT BLACK aims to inspire consumers to leave lasting impressions through making bold decisions.



“MAKE IT BLACK is a very literal celebration of the incredible drink that has brought us all together today,” said Natalie Harley, Senior Brand Manager of JOHNNIE WALKER® Malaysia. “However, expect the unexpected this Halloween, as we have a lineup that is going to blow everyone away. We have been working with numerous local talents, people who have mastered their craft and share the same passion and creativity that we do, to create a showcase performance. We wanted to bring something new and exciting to fans of JOHNNIE WALKER® BLACK LABEL® and hope they join us on the 31st October as we set the night on fire!”

“Fans know the instantly recognisable smoky, complex yet balanced flavours of JOHNNIE WALKER® BLACK LABEL® but some have forgotten the progressive and inspirational spirit that John Walker bottled when he created this iconic whisky. We hope to re-ignite their passion and inspire our fans to start thinking differently about JOHNNIE WALKER® BLACK LABEL®. We’re taking a huge risk with the elements in this performance but we wanted to honour our core ethos. We hope that guests leaving MAKE IT BLACK, 31ST October, see that making bold statements and having courage in your convictions leads to amazing results and go on to feel inspired to express their individuality with their own bold statements,” she added.



Join me for the Make It Black Event at the following:-

Date: 31 Oct 2014
Venue: One City, SkyPark USJ, 
Time: 8PM

Lot S213A, 2nd Floor, 
1 Utama Shopping Centre, 
Bandar Utama, 47800 Petaling Jaya, Selangor
We were briefed and demonstrate the function of its special "compartments" at certain types of the bags displayed by the CEO, Mr. Liew. He is very friendly and willing to share with us the secret compartments of each and every bags created. From the demonstration, I noticed that all the bags by Terminus® designed with full of thought. Each and every type of the bags comes with its own function and this would really cater its user needs.

Mr. Liew demonstrate the Backpack with Trolley


The Trolley is hidden. - like a magic
For example, the Bagpack With Trolley. This bags is great to use for holiday outing (perhaps for 1 - 2 days). The trolley is automatically hidden when u keep the handle, so that you can wear it as a normal backpack.

5 in 1 Transformers

The 5 in 1 Transformers is design to cater for businessman who is on a business trip. The bags is divided into 3 compartments. Most front to fill with trip documents (i.e. passport, wallet, camera etc), middle to put the files documents/laptop, and the back compartment for clothing (also comes with toiletries bag!). 

A compartment to keep the hot water
This bag also comes with diaper mat! how cool is that?

The Pillow Laptop Bag. Its huggable
OMG there are so many bags with it's own story to tell. I am so attracted to this Laptop/tablet bags that can also can be used as a pillow. Mr. Liew told us a story how this bags save his laptop from being stolen from his car. He kept his laptop in the bag and store it at the back seat. Somehow, the bags were not taken because who can expect to have a laptop in the pillow right?

So which bag I choose to complete my life? I totally love this black backpack. It is design for a light traveler like me. What I love about this bag? 

I choose for this city light backpack!!
1. The material used is a leather like. I feel its so soft and hug-gable.

Came in two colours and I choose the black one. Easier to match with any outfit.

The zip is located beneath the handle. Safety and security from pickpockets 
3. I love how the zip was store at the inner side of the bag. It give more security to the bag. Feel less worry for a pickpockets especially if you travel in a crowded place.

I think this bag quite spacious despite of its cute apperance
4. More compartment inside. I can put my laptop, my camera, etc

My Samsung NX Mini my best Selfie Companion!!


I’ve been using this camera for almost four months now. To be honest this camera is my everyday companion. As a blogger, you need to find a perfect camera which you can use for macro shots. To capture moments, special effect, events and products! name it!

I just love how NX Mini change my selfie life completely!
Well, when you attend any beauty event one more favorite things you like to do is wefie with your beloved friends!

In regards to any events that I attended, my Samsung NX Mini is a must! Not only that, I also have tonnes of selfies taken with this owhsome Samsung NX Mini. If you check in my previous post <here> you would noticed that I have highlighted on few main features on this cute Samsung NX Mini. Not only that, I also elaborate one of the Selfie feature <here> which you may not find in other compact camera. 

Samsung NX Mini perfect as a #Selfie Camera because it was created to fulfill their customer’s satisfaction in capturing a #Selfie Perfect! When the display is rotated you would find that there are about three selections of mood for selfies for you to choose from.

Though this device have 3 selfies moods, however, you may capture your selfies in 5 ways!! Hows that?!! Sshhhh... let me tell you the secret.... hushhhhhhh...

1. Self Timer Shot
2. Smile Shot
3. Wink Shot
4. Self- Press the button and shot
5. Touch the screen and it auto shot

Three types of Selfie shots to choose from.

From the 5 ways selection above, my most favorite mood is the "Smile Shot". This mood made my selfies life easier!

How it works?

Its too easy!!

1. Flip the display. Once the display flipped. the camera will switch on by itself!
2. The camera is ready for a selfie mood.
3. Choose your desired mood - in this case "smile mood"
4. Then find your right angel and don't forget to say "cheeeeseeee"
5. The NX mini will automatically shot your selfie!! You dont have to press the button because the NX Mini does the job for you!

Wefie with beloved friends even better with NX Mini! - great way to share the moment together!

Taking Selfie while kayaking even better with smile shot. As long as you smile widely - this NX Mini definitely will take the awesome shots for you! 
After that of course you need to transfer the photos right? Selfie is not complete until you upload it to your Facebook or Instagram with hashtag #selfie!

You can also choose few ways to transfer the photos from the camera to your phone or tab device. With the WIFI technology, touch and transfer, it made my life even more easier!

Let me show you how easy it is. There are many ways to download the photos or video taken by NX Mini to the phone or laptop. In this post I am going to show you how I normally download the pictures and video from My Samsung NX Mini to my Samsung Note 8.0.



1.  From the mode setting, choose WIFI connection
2.  Then click at Mobile Link icon
3. Then select files from smartphone. This selection enable you to choose your desired pictures to be transferred browsed through phone. I feel more comfortable to choose my pictures through my Samsung Note 8.0 because of its bigger screen - better views for selection.
4. At the same time, don't forget to download the samsung smart camera apps from google play or iphone store. This apps would enable you to connect to your NX mini instantly.

Another faster way to connect your NX mini with your device is through Direct Link.


Direct Link button would enable instant connection from the NX Mini and connected devise. Once it connected, any photos or videos taken by NX Mini would automatically transferred to your device. This way would save more time and hence you have no more hassle to browse through and select your photos each at one time.

Both ways, the photos would then transferred to the devise and available at the gallery for views

Parties and Indoor Shot
Night Shot
I have something to share with you. Its a recap on what happened on the first day when us 30 Manoah Bloggers were just got to tasted and feeeeel the beloved My Samsung NX Mini!! It is up in the You Tube now!!!




For about 3 months of using My Samsung NX Mini, I would say that this is my best camera companion so far. It completes my life and I managed to capture every moment I experience without fail. I feel so sad because the moment with NX Mini going to end soon. Wish I don't have to say goodbye with it.
