Health: Care for Your Oral Hygiene with IBKEEO Mouthwash

It is important for us to take care of our dental health from a young age. I'm sure most of you know that brushing alone is not enough to properly clean your teeth and mouth. Mouthwashes should be part of your oral healthcare routine. But, do you know how to choose a suitable and safe one for yourself? There are a wide range of mouthwashes out in the market, but I've recently tried IBKEEO, a Korean premium brand of mouthwash which thoroughly cleanses and keeps your breath fresh throughout the day. 

IBKEEO Premium Oral Hygiene Mouthwash contains quality ginseng extract, white peony (has antibacterial properties), tea tree (works to remove protein particles and eliminate bad breath) and licorice (activates salivary glands to prevent dry mouth). 

This product kills approximately 99.9% Oral Bacteria in 30 seconds. It's also very simple to use. All you need to do is pour about 1/3 of the bottle cap into your mouth and gargle up to 30 seconds.

Notice the light brown colour of the mouthwash BEFORE gargling.

Spit it out and you'll be able to see all the protein leftovers which tends to get stuck between your teeth and gums.

Basically, this is a shot taken AFTER gargling the mouthwash for 30 seconds. 

Compared to other mouthwashes, with IBKEEO, you can actually see the particles which is visible to the naked eye. It removes oral germs and prevent tooth decay if you use it for long term. It is recommended to gargle every morning or night for best result.

I actually like the taste of IBKEEO because it is not extremely minty or strong. In fact, it's mild, does not contain alcohol and has a very calming ginseng odour. This product is also safe for elderly, children (6 years and older) and people with braces. It is approved by the Health Ministry of Malaysia and authorised by Korea's Safety & Health Division.

By the way, for those who don't fancy ginseng, there will be a new flavour coming up, so be sure to keep up to date on IBKEEO Facebook. You can purchase this item via their Facebook or website.

Beauty: Peripera Airy Ink Velvet Lip Tint (Latest Korean Rave Product)

I just recently return from my trip to Korea, the land of beauty, makeup and skincare! There were so many products in the beauty stores of different brands there and I was so tempted to buy all of them. Before heading to Korea, I had a shopping list of makeup items to purchase and lip tints are one of them. I am a big fan of lip tints, because of their long staying power and beautiful shades. Plus, lip tints are usually not sticky like lip sticks after applying.

While in Korea, I noticed that there is a new lip tint in the market from famous brand, Peripera. I have heard of the brand numerous times and have seen it in the shelves here in Malaysia as well. I heard that this is one of the best lip tints, but they are so pricey.

Anyway, there was a promotion for their latest and newly launched product, Peripera Airy Ink Velvet which haven't even landed in Malaysian shores yet. Since it was only 7,200 won (about RM 28), I was really excited to get one of it and try it out.

I chose the #3 Sold Out Red because I find that reddish tones look great with my skin colour. Light pinks never work on me somehow haha.

I liked the small and cute bottle it comes in. 

Packaging wise was great and you can just pop it into your makeup bag for touch up anywhere.

The brush applicator was soft and gentle on the lips. It's angled in a way for easier application.

As you can see, this is the box it came in and the shade I chose was #3 Sold Out Red.

Pros

- Easy application

- Lasts long, from morning till evening (even after food, as long as you don't purposely use tissue to wipe it away)

- Subtle fragrance

Cons

- A little thick on the first few application

This was how it looked like on my lips. I applied it on my inner bottom lips and just smacked it on to the top. 

Ta-da! I really like the end results, it was a very sweet red that helped brighten up my complexion greatly ;)

Beauty: Onsaemeein Velvet Moist Lip Tint Review

So, I've been a little late in exploring this Korean beauty trend of gradation lips and lip tints. I always love the lips they do on K-pop stars which looks so natural and sweet. I tried to achieve the gradation look a few times with my lipsticks, but somehow it doesn't feel right. 

Actually, I have been to a few pharmacies in Malaysia to find these lip tints but they are always so pricey. 

So, I decided to try out some of the lip tints available on Althea website and I chose this particular one, Onsaemeein Velvet Moist Lip Tint because the pictures and description was rather convincing haha. Plus, it's on offer at the moment, only RM 22.00!

So after much consideration, I got the one in #02 Berry Red because I prefer something in the between of pink and red for that sweet, girl next door look.

So, I took a few shot of what the product looks like:

It comes in a cute bottle, nothing fancy and the size is perfect to toss into my everyday makeup bag.

I like the colour, its very pretty and highly pigmented as well. It's very striking and similar to what I expected it to be.

The no fuss brush applicator is perfect as you just need to dab the tint at the inside of your lips.

I applied it to the whole lips for this because I wanted to show you guys how pretty the colour is. I will be trying out the gradation lips technique with this soon enough, once I've mastered it.

All in all, I really like this product. Perhaps, its because its the first lip tint I've purchased so far. 

I've decided to list out some pros and cons of this lip tint.

Pros

1. Vivid colour with just 1 application

2. Lasts quite long (it doesn't go away when I eat unlike my other lipsticks)

3. Don't really need to re-apply

4. Non-sticky

Cons

None at the moment
