I’ve never been a fan of organic products because well, let’s face it, going green today is sort of a luxury. Don’t get me wrong, I’d still love to try one if only the price was within my budget, so I decided to surf Dealmates and surprise, surprise, they had a whole page dedicated to going green this April. So, why not? : )

For RM27.50 (normal price RM55), I chose the Soap & Scent’s Goat Milk series combo which includes 2 soap bars (the mandarin chocolate and honey), 1 loofah and 1 rice husk soap tray. If you didn’t know them already, read about the brand here and about their scented success.

The mandarin chocolate flavor is my favourite between the two. While most handmade soaps have an overwhelming scent which sends almost everyone around you into an intoxicated state, this one doesn’t. It still smells divine and lathers richly, leaving behind a soft, delicate scent that still lingers after your shower. This product is also gentle on the skin which was a great plus considering the fact that I have sensitive skin.

* Remember to always test any beauty product you purchase on a small area on the skin.

One extraordinary thing about the loofah is that it’s actually made up of natural herbal soap chunks, including olive fruit oil, vitamin E, essential oils, fragrance oils and herbs! Now that’s what I call an absolute skin-pampering bath session.

If this flavor isn’t your cup of tea, you should check out the brand’s website for more. From apple cinnamon to seaweed and also the classic lavender, there really isn’t any reason you shouldn’t try this natural handmade soap. Here’s to going green! : )

What is going on at our office? Oh nothing really….just the regular. A grown man with an underwear on his head. What’s new? Haha. Enjoy this

Everyone loves pampering sessions at spas or beauty salons but unfortunately career girls don’t often find the time to make a spa appointment. Never forget though, that even if you’re busy, there’s no reason why you should ignore your skin’s needs! We girls often forget how important it is to keep our skin moisturised, especially if you’re in an air-conditioned environment most of the time (at home, in the car and in the office) – that really dries up your skin, causing it to be more sensitive and prone to wrinkles.

Okay – enough of the beauty lecture, and let’s go on to the little gem I found on Dealmates the other day:

10 pieces of Korean face masks for only RM35! Now, we all know face masks don’t come cheap, so this deal was an absolute steal I just couldn’t resist! With ingredients that can be used for any skin type, the Dermal Korean face masks came in different varieties and purposes. I got:

1. Pearl mask
2. Cucumber mask
3. Red wine collagen essence mask
4. Vitamin mask
5. Q10 collagen essence mask
6. Platinum collagen essence mask
7. Pomegranate collagen essence mask
8. Charcoal collagen essence mask
9. White collagen essence mask
10. Hyaluronate collagen essence mask

My first try was the Pomegranate mask to firm and moisturise my skin. It’s really easy to use, and compared to some other masks that I’ve tried before, this Dermal one sticks to my face very well and doesn’t slip off. There are also explanations and a user guide at the back in both English and Korean (don’t you just hate it when you buy imported things and its manual only comes in the foreign language?!)

I just love the cold and refreshing feeling of a mask on my face! I didn’t take any vanity shots this time because I honestly looked like that guy from ‘Silence of the Lambs’. Yeah this one:

It was a highly unattractive sight, so I shall spare you of the image ;P

Anyway, I’d really recommend getting face masks to all career girls out there. It’s a very easy and quick beauty fix you should do weekly to keep your skin hydrated. You can apply it while watching TV, reading a book, or even while you’re doing some light household chores.

What beauty fixes do you do at home? Feel free to share with me and other fans of Dealmates!

Love, light & skincare,

Elfie Jane.
