Assalamualaikum korang~
So My family and I went to have our breakfast this morning at one of the kopitiam nearby the pasar at Batu Pahat, Johor. This is a small, corner lot kopitiam that is always, always packed with people. I've never seen the kopitiam without customers and empty tables can hardly be seen too!
I always wanted to bring my mom here for breakfast but since my mom's working on Sundays, so there's no time for us to go there as I usually spend only 1 night at my hometown everytime I went back except on holidays. (yeah, I work half day on Saturdays...)
Tapi kedai pulak tutup masa cuti. pfft.... (or we ols yang ada plan lain bhahahahah!)
Assalamualaikum everyone!
So, make up remover.
I love to use micellar water as it doesn't irritate my skin and HERE's my favorite micellar water review from Simple. I find micellar water to be gentler on my skin compared to the usual make up remover / wipes. And price wise, yes, I do use micellar water on a daily basis since it's more affordable and since I don't put on heavy makeup.
1. Original (Pink, for all skin tpe)
2. Revitalising (Mint Green, for oily and combination skin)
3. Purifying (Purple, for sensitive skin)
4. Nourishing (Yellow, for dry skin)
Here's what I can tell you about this balm :
🎕 Texture - sherbet that changes to oil when applied to shin, then changes to milky type when added water while massaging your face
🎕 Scent- it's scented but lightly. Each color smells different, the pink + blue more to baby balm scent, while mint and yellow smells flowery.
🎕 Color - the color slightly differs, based on the formula used. For pink and blue bottle, it's more to white-colored balm, while balm for mint and yellow bottle is a bit yellowish.
I really love this cleansing balm as it's easier to use and carry instead of liquid type makeup cleanser, and I don't need to worry about it being spilled. It's also really gentle and removes makeup efficiently!
Here's how to use a cleansing balm :
1. Apply the balm on your dry face, I usually put a little bit and add more while massaging my face if I feel like it's not enough
2. Massage your face with your fingers and make sure the balm is evenly separated on your face
3. Wet your hands and face a bit and continue massaging with fingers, especially eye areas. Adding water will turn the oil to a milky texture.
4. Rinse with water
5. Proceed with your normal cleansing routine (cleansing foam/ cream cleanser/ water based cleanser)
Some people wipe the balm off their face with muslin cloth soaked in warm water but I skip that step as it's kind of leceh hahaha. You can do that too but I find it easier to just rinse my face with water.
🎕 Gentle to skin
🎕 Removes make up effectively but doesn't irritate skin
🎕 Removes even most waterproof makeup
🎕 Skin feels smooth and not dry after usage
🎕 Can be used daily
🎕 Very light scent
🎕 Contains NO alcohol, parabens, artificial coloring and no mineral oils
🎕 Suitable for every skin type as there are various types to choose from
🎕 Doesn't drip, because of it's balm texture
🎕 Easy to carry
🎕 Doesn't sting my skin
🎕 Affordable and cute packaging too!
🎕 Buy full sized and it come with spoon
🎕 Packaging so cute I kept the trial-sized bottle so that I can store skincare when travelling!
Cons :
🎕 Even though the balm is lightly scented, I dislike floral scent so i don't really like mint and yellow bottle ones haha!
Will I repurchase this?
Yes, definitely! (already did)
Will I recommend this to my friends?Yes, YES!
Where to buy?
Wako (click) - I bought it here!
Till then,
Thank you for reading this entry!hani shubie
So, make up remover.
I love to use micellar water as it doesn't irritate my skin and HERE's my favorite micellar water review from Simple. I find micellar water to be gentler on my skin compared to the usual make up remover / wipes. And price wise, yes, I do use micellar water on a daily basis since it's more affordable and since I don't put on heavy makeup.
I was really curious about cleansing balm as I've heard of how great they work. I mean, balm? seriously? So like usual, I grab the sample sized products to see if it's as good as what I heard.
|| CLEANSING BALM
Cleansing balm is a creamy, thick balm, with an oily texture that does what make up removers do, but better!
Cleansing balm usually have the sherbet texture that changes to smooth oil when applied to your skin. It removes makeup without drying your skin, and doesn't strip off your skin's natural oils and moisture. It works like cleansing oil does, but it doesn't drip off and is easier to use.
As great as it is, please choose the ones that suites your skin types, as I still see some people choose skincare or makeup based on the review without considering their skin types. Lepastu complain review orang tak betul padahal korang guna product untuk oily skin sedangkan kulit korang dry. Babap kang! hahaha
|| BANILA CO. CLEAN IT ZERO
There are 4 types of Clean It Zero cleansing balm, namely:1. Original (Pink, for all skin tpe)
2. Revitalising (Mint Green, for oily and combination skin)
3. Purifying (Purple, for sensitive skin)
4. Nourishing (Yellow, for dry skin)
These balms are made up of natural ingredients and it does not contain parabens, mineral oils, artificial coloring and alcohol.
Here's what I can tell you about this balm :
🎕 Texture - sherbet that changes to oil when applied to shin, then changes to milky type when added water while massaging your face
🎕 Scent- it's scented but lightly. Each color smells different, the pink + blue more to baby balm scent, while mint and yellow smells flowery.
🎕 Color - the color slightly differs, based on the formula used. For pink and blue bottle, it's more to white-colored balm, while balm for mint and yellow bottle is a bit yellowish.
After using this balm, I really don't see any eye makeup falling off of my eyes after I wash my face as it's really damn clean! No emo eyes look after washing too as it really took away all of the makeups. And the best thing- at least one of my eyelashes usually fall off when I remove mascara using make up wipes/ remover, but this doesn't happen with the balm!
|| HOW TO USE
Bear in mind that this cleansing balm is used as a first step in your double cleansing routine.Here's how to use a cleansing balm :
1. Apply the balm on your dry face, I usually put a little bit and add more while massaging my face if I feel like it's not enough
2. Massage your face with your fingers and make sure the balm is evenly separated on your face
3. Wet your hands and face a bit and continue massaging with fingers, especially eye areas. Adding water will turn the oil to a milky texture.
4. Rinse with water
5. Proceed with your normal cleansing routine (cleansing foam/ cream cleanser/ water based cleanser)

Assalamualaikum korang!
Bak kata my husband, honeymoon yang tak boleh solat jamak. hahaha!
My husband and I went for our short "honeymoon" at Puteri Harbour, Johor Bahru. It's just... less than 30 mins from my MIL's home hahah! But since we got discount from Airbnb, and it was my husband's birthday few days before that, so why not?
Assalamualaikum, hi everyone!
So, as promised, here's a separate review on Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Asiatica Ampoule!
It took me quite some time because I really wanna test and see the result and shoot new photos because I don't want the same photo being used as thumbnail for my new post 😂😂😂 Cerewet much.

Assalamualaikum and hello again!
So last Monday was Public Holiday and we decided to bring mom to eat some dessert~ I saw Mykori cafe last month (baru tahu ada kat BP) and wanted to treat mom for her birthday but since we were hungry, we ate at somewhere else hehe.
So here we are, a month later!
|| MYKORI DESSERT CAFE
Mykori is a cafe based on Japanese desserts which includes kakigori and taiyaki. There are other menus as well but all of them are desserts, which explains why my family and I went to other restaurant at first since we were all super hungry. haha!
Mykori is a really famous dessert cafe since they serve really cute shaved ice and the cafe itself is cute gila and perfect for instagram. I thought that the outlet at Batu Pahat is just a small outlet (it was full house when we came), but turned out it's a two storey outlet. Besar gila bahagian atas tau!
|| MENU
You can click HERE for their updated menu on their website but here's what they serve :
The price is still the same when we went last week but for updated menus and prices, click HERE yaw.
|| THE AMBIENCE
I really love the interior of this cafe. It's clean and the concept is simple. Plus, Batu Pahat outlet here is a 2 storey cafe so you don't have to worry for the crowd because there's so much space upstairs too.

|| HONEST REVIEW
Okay, time for an honest review. As much as I love the interior and service (staffs here are friendly!), the kakigori is so-so je. It doesn't even reach my expectation, and in fact, it's wayyyy below my expectation. I've had shaved ice from a few places and it's sad to say this one is, average sangat.
 |
| We ordered Mango Cheesecake Kakigori, Melon Kakigori, Red bean Taiyaki and Chicken Slice & Cheese Taiyaki. |
⭐ 3.0 overall
⭐ Staff is friendly! Love them and the cafe is soooo clean and insta friendly.
⭐ the ambience is cute and clean
⭐ Melon Kakigori is okay- underneath melon kakigori is tembikai susu shaved ice and nata de coco.
⭐ Mango Cheese cake kakigori is "meh". The shaved ice is milk-flavored, which is so bland (tawar okeh), and the cheesecake inside the kakigori is sooo little. And that's it for RM 22 😐
⭐ The taiyake filling is not bad, but the croissant is just a bit too thin. Yes, the fish is made from Croissant ya, not batter. (even the name is croissant taiyake haha)
⭐ Plain water is available, self service.
⭐ I know kfry served bingsoo, which is a korean shaved ice dessert (Mykori is based on Japanese dessert), but I still prefer to add a few bucks and go to k-fry because the shaved ice is better and more loaded.
 |
| our Taiyaki, hahaha |
No.
Will I recommend it to my friends?
If you wanna take cute shaved ice & café pictures- yeah. But to eat tasty shaved ice- no.
.
I'm sorry Mykori. This is just my personal review (and I paid the bill, not sponsored by kfry too haha). Unless the taste has been upgraded according to the price, I stick to my review- Especially the milk shaved ice of the mango kakigori. It's bland, and doesn't taste creamy. Macam bubuh banyak sangat air dalam mixture susu tu. And the cheesecake inside the shaved ice pon kecik, the mango is the yellow topping only. Sorry.
But they do offer loyalty card. spend certain amount and collect stamp behind the loyalty card and you can redeem 1 free kakigori.
That's it for now!
Till then,
Thank you for reading this entry!
