Crabtree & Evelyn La Source Revitalizing Peel Off Mask

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Crabtree & Evelyn La Source Revitalizing Peel Off Mask

I decided to try out Crabtree & Evelyn La Source Revitalizing Peel Off Mask yesterday. My sis got this mask last year for £1, original price was more than £3. It’s in my cupboard for more than a year ;p I’m not sure it expired already or not since I couldn’t find the manufacture and expiry date. I tried to find reviews or more details of this mask but couldn’t find any. Even couldn’t find it in their own website.


I opened up the sachet, and poured some out to test. This one sachet is too much for me and I only poured out about a quarter or less of it and it’s enough to cover my whole face and neck. I still have leftover stored in airtight container ;p

This is how the content looked like and I don’t really like the smell. It smells like heavily scented powder and made me sneeze quite a bit. I’m not sure this is normal or not hahaha… As I mentioned just now, it’s bought at discounted price more than a year ago.

I didn’t follow the instructions fully as I’m just using a little bit. I added warm water and stirred vigorously for more than 30 seconds. I added the water bit by bit just to make sure it’s diluted enough for applying to my face.

In fact I was pretty worry because I’m not sure whether the content is still good or not. There was even black pieces in there that I have no idea what they were. I assume that they are meant to be part of the mask ;p

It’s not easy to apply and it’s very messy. You see those granules on my face? Those are the black stuffs I found in the mask that couldn’t be diluted. I was expecting that the mask would be something rubbery when it dried but to my surprise, it’s not rubbery at all and could not remove like a normal peel off mask. Removing it was EXTREMELY difficult and messy. Imagine clay that has been expose to the air and dried up except it’s not that heavy for this case.

The problem was that I couldn’t just wash it off at the sink as it would clog the sink(that’s what the packet there stated). I took quite a while to remove the “clay” and I ended up with lots of dried “clay” on the floor. I had to sweep my room after that. There were still some on my face and I went to take shower for the second time just to remove them thoroughly from my neck and face.

Good thing, there wasn’t any redness or discomfort on my face. Geee… I wonder is it expired that’s why it’s like that or that’s what it’s supposed to be. What to do? I can’t find any details online about it and it’s not sold and not available in its official website. Hmmm…

I did notice some differences to the skin. My skin seemed to have more moisture, soft and smooth to touch.

I didn’t apply to the whole face as you can see in the photo because I didn’t dare as I’m not sure the product was still good or already went bad ;p It was not easy to spread on the face also. Not only that, I started off at the neck and noticed how it dried up, that’s why I didn’t want to spread all over the face because it will be even more difficult to remove.

So? I really don’t know… Is this product expired already or it’s meant to be like this? *shrug*

Blackout Again!

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Blackout Again!

For so many years, I think I experienced the most blackouts in my entire life this year. Last time, at least once or twice a year. Then this year, I lost count already.

The moon tonight is so bright. It’s rare opportunity to bask under the moonlight. It’s a blessing in disguise. However, really worry about my poor laptop, desktop, and modem as they’ve been suffering so much lately with so many power outages.

I’m going random today because is busy with my revision and some distractions here and there ;p Exam will be coming soon in December. After that, there’ll be another exam again right after Christmas. Then we will be heading into 2010.

Achieved anything? Well… So far for me, I discover a lot about myself, learning to look at life at a different angle, and joining a contest that I thought I will never be joining. Let’s see…

  • There is no point to hate people because it will only hurt yourself. People will not care that you hate them, they are still doing whatever they please. Therefore there is not point to hurt yourself like that, they don’t care what’s more when they are total strangers that you just don’t like the way they look. Why don’t you do yourself a favour and be happy rather than hating this and that which do no good to your health. Just ask yourself some questions, “What do I get by being unhappy about the person? Will it do me any good? Will that person care?”. If all the answer are negatives, then you will be happier and think to yourself that it’s just silly to make yourself suffer when they don’t even bother about you being unhappy of them. It’s hard to switch our thinking but after several attempts you will get used to it.
  • Be selfish. YES! In certain situation, you just have to do this. Sometimes caring too much will do no good but it will be an extra burden to you. Analyze the situation, ask yourself some questions, “Why do I need to care so much? What happen if I don’t care? What do I get from caring so much when the person doesn’t even bother/care about it?”
  • There are so many to discover in life, it’s just a matter of whether you allow yourself to step out of your comfort zone or not. I’m still trying, it takes courage and lots of baby steps before I can take the huge leap. You’ll learn along the way and you’ll be surprised that there are so many out there to discover. It’s not easy but take it slow and easy, pushing too hard will only do harm to yourself.
  • Depending on yourself is better than depending on others. You’ll never know when the person will let you down. Backup plan is very important. I learned it the hard way.
  • Try to be happy and be positive most of the time, it’s good for health as stress will only cause sickness either physically or mentally. You are allowed to be sad or negative which is normal reaction that a human will have when they encounter something bad but don’t stay in there too long. Life still goes on, the sun will come up and down like no body business. They’re all part of life and it’s normal. I’m still learning…

Basically that’s all I can think of. I’m sure those who know me for ages will not be believing what I had just mentioned hahaha… Suddenly I have so many life theories *LOL* Oh well… Let’s just say all those falls make you wiser and it’s just a matter of whether you want to embrace it or not.

Actually I listed it down here as a reminder to myself as there were times when I forget about them. Since I’m determined to treat myself better, I have to write it down somewhere and practice them until they assimilate into my life. In fact, I understand what I want better after attended The Law of Attraction workshop few weeks back. I’m so glad that I made the right decision to join the workshop. Do you want to join? There’s one coming up in December. Let me know if you are interested.

Back to revision.

Tourism & Health Talk

Posted on By sweet surrender 1 Comment on Tourism & Health Talk

We attended 2 talks yesterday night at UCSI.


First talk was about tourism by ex-CEO of Sarawak Tourism Board, Gracie Geike, at the UCSI’s Coffee Bar and Bistro. The smell of coffee was so good but I don’t drink coffee *LOL* I just love the smell. It was a great session and we got better ideas now about the tourism industry. Not to forget, UCSI offers related course if you are interested.



Who will be the ambassador for tHe Spring(minus the guy in black in the last photo ;p) next year? Hehehe… I’m not in there, I’m behind the camera. I didn’t take any photo of myself with my camera, it’s all in others’ cameras and none of them are free to send the photos of me yet, so you don’t see me in this post. The other girl is not in the photo too as she was busy with work stuffs around the the place.

Since I don’t drink coffee, I had tea.

After the talk about tourism, we headed to the classroom for another talk about health by two representatives from NewLife.

Left: Snowie Tan told us about what’s good and bad for health.
Right: Sam handled the Q&A session. It was such a noisy and fun session but we did learn a lot. Guess what?!?! He is younger than me and most of us(mind you, I’m the oldest of all the finalists), so you can imagine how young he is. Impressive! His height was very impressive too besides his look and knowledge*LOL*

At around 9pm, we called it a night.
