I was selected as one of the few bloggers to guest review Natio Clay and Plant Face Mask Purifier, courtesy of Sasa.

Natio is an Australian beauty brand which was founded in 1993. In Latin, Natio means 'creation', 'birth', 'birthplace' and also the ancient name for the Goddess of Nature. It symbolises the pure and natural, plant-based origins of Natio's range.

It's my first time using clay mask and I used to remember when I was little, my mom put on this muddish, almost black clay mask and it had this really unpleasant smell. But for Natio, I was quite surprised that the smell was light, earthy and had a natural scent from the plants used to make the clay mask! The beige white texture of the clay mask is creamy and easy to apply on :D

Natio Clay & Plant Face Mask Purifier is suitable for all skin types. I concentrated on my T-Zone as I have combination skin which are prone to breakouts. After cleansing the face, apply the clay mask and wait for about 10 to 15 minutes. I love that the clay mask dries pretty fast when applied on and I felt a tingling and tightening sensation.

It is recommended to wash the face with lukewarm water, then followed up with toner and moisturizer. After using Natio for the first time, I was satisfied with the results as my skin appeared smoother and refreshed. My pores at the T-Zone have always been a problem but it has appeared to be smaller after a couple of time using Natio's Clay & Plant Face Mask Purifier.

I'm glad that my skin is gradually improving after using Natio's Clay & Plant Face Mask Purifier. Although it has not solved the breakouts on my chin area, but I'm glad that it has been slowly improving.

My verdict: Natio's Clay & Plant Face Mask Purifier is a definite MUST try! I love the subtle texture and the effectiveness of this product. The redness on my T-Zone is decreasing and I hope it would be better after using it more often. Recommended usage about 1 to 2 times a week.

Happy Chinese New Year!

Headed back to Ipoh to spring clean the house 2 weeks back for the upcoming CNY.  

The first stop was lunch at a restaurant in Ipoh Garden if I'm not mistaken for Lei Cha. 

 My favourite soya bean shop in Ipoh. During the holidays, it can be pack with cars and people queuing up as Funny Mountain has a drive through concept but you can get faster service if you queue up at the stall instead :)

 Another popular destination in Ipoh, Lou Wong which serves ipoh sar hor fun, bean sprouts and chicken. The curry mee is yummy too :D

Walked around the streets after dinner and spotted a nice lantern. Too bad it had to be pre ordered for a week, so we bought another one.

Had dim sum for breakfast the next morning at Ming Court :)

 nyam nyam~

 Peranakan style food at Restaurant Yum Yum for dinner (will do a seperate post for this!)

 Managed to catch the Thaipusm procession which was happening on the streets.

Tiramsu java blend at Folie-Folie.

 Breakfast at KarPin. The teh ais is a must try :D

Rojak and desserts at the food court located at the Ipoh Stadium before heading back to KL :)

Stall 36 and 38!

Brought along Amelia, Sharmayne and her bf this time for lunch few weeks back to catch up as we were busy with our own activities. The macaroons this round were not that yummy somehow :(

Tomato soup with cheese that Amelia ordered.

Seafood Aglio Olio.

Berries Tart with chocolate mousse on the bottom :D

Durian cheesecake. Sharmayne loved it but it didn't sit well with my taste buds...

The loving couple :)

With the girls :)

Few weeks back, Glow came down to KL and a few of us blogger met up with her at Pavilion. Was late due to the slow KTM but managed to meet most of the bloggers like Shah and Doris who left early due to work.

Suresh, Shah, Glow, Me and Xing sans Tikkos and Dorris
Had lunch at Carls Jr. and it was fun chatting with them.

We moved on to Snowflakes for dessert.

Suresh's cake.

CNY decorations were plastered at every corner at Pavilion and we decided to take the opportunity to take pictures. It would be a waste not to with those lovely decorations...

It was a great day with many stories shared!

Next gathering with the bloggers will be this coming Friday for Lou Sang :D
