November Favourites 2019 | 3 New Beauty Products To Upgrade Your November



My November Favourites




1. Highlight

Recently, I got to try out few new products from Cezanne, a Japan cosmetic brand and 
I love one of their new launch, Cezanne Pearl Glow Highlight #01 Champagne Beige 
which is one of the raved product in Japan! It gives a natural glow to complexion. 
Smooth and adheres firmly on skin just like it shines from the inside!




2. Lipstick

 Also, one of the new launch of Cezanne. This new shade of Cezanne Lasting Gloss Lip 
comes in a chic, classy gold container and a glass-like lipstick case with diamond cut on top. 
I like their #101 Brown that provides a tint texture which is more long-lasting with a smooth 
and creamy sensation. It has a little plumping effect with an oil-like shine, making it 
look healthy and moisturized which is also great for dry or chapped lips.




3. Body Care

Pamper my skin lately with a local Malaysian brand, Nurigins's natural goodness. I have been 
 using their Aloe Vera Hydrating Body Care Shower Cream for some time now and I like its 
 moisturizing texture. Their body care range also includes Argan Oil, Lavender and Rice Milk, all 
 infused with natural ingredients and essential oils to deeply cleanse while providing hydration and 
 nourishment to skin. Not to mention, they are thoughtful enough to have recyclable bottle packaging!

DR. WU Ageversal Anti-Aging Range Review | Dr. Wu Intensive Repairing Serum With Squalene & Ageversal Multi-Peptides Anti-Aging Ampoules


Experts agree that skin starts to age around 20 years old, and recommend that we
should all start the road to prevention early and start incorporating anti-aging
skincare products in our 20s and 30s, when our skin slowly starts to lose collagen.
Aging is inevitable, but you can help delay its outward signs with a great anti-aging serum.


Lately, I got to try out Dr. Wu's newly revamped anti-aging range, called the
Ageversal consisting of Dr. Wu's Intensive Repairing Serum with Squalene
and Dr. Wu's Ageversal Multi-Peptides Anti-Aging Ampoules.




 Dr. Wu's Intensive Repairing Serum with Squalene



Dr. Wu's Ageversal Multi-Peptides Anti-Aging Ampoules


A little intro about Dr. Wu, one of the leading medical skincare brand in Taiwan
that creates a technologically-advanced skincare line of high potency products for the
sensitive skin, aiming to bring about non-surgical solutions in enhancing one's beauty
and wellness, to enjoy skincare just like having a doctor perform medical treatments
at home, maintaining a perfect complexion through the simplest yet effective ways.

According to renowned dermatologist Ying-Chin Wu of National Taiwan University Hospital,
"Oil is the key to maintaining young skin." Thus, Dr. Wu has led a new trend of skincare,
using oil-based solutions to address common skin problems.



Dr. Wu's Intensive Repairing Serum with Squalene



Formulated with latest anti-aging technologies which can effectively restore skin barrier, fortify
 skin’s natural repair process and protect skin from environmental toxins. Its key ingredient,
 plant-derived Squalene helps to regenerate skin cells, retain moisture and refine signs of aging.




 This serum has a distinctive oily texture which can be quickly absorbed to the skin,
providing great moisturizing effect with no stickiness or greasiness which is surprising!



I like that it's light and applied so smoothly just like liquid silk, and absorbed nicely!
Apply small amount to face and neck using circular movements from the central
T-zone of the face towards the outer edges. You may use it daily, day and night.




It's also a multi-purpose essence oil where it can be used to mix with your moisturizer
for better skincare effect. You can also use it when applying makeup, just add one drop
to the liquid foundation for more long-lasting makeup. Other than that, you can also use
it to any dry and rough skin zone like peeling skin, finger edge to quickly restore softness.



Dr. Wu's Ageversal Multi-Peptides Anti-Aging Ampoules



Formulated with 10% high concentration of 10 types of multi peptides, a non-invasive skin firming,
  in-home ampoule which mimics aesthetic treatment for skin rejuvenation. It helps to reduce
 wrinkles, facial lines and improve skin firmness, revealing younger and firmer looking skin.





The texture of this ampoule is quite thin and quick absorbing with no sticky or greasy feel.



Just apply appropriate amount to face and neck after toner or essence and before serum.
It is recommended to finish immediately after open to achieve the best performance of
the product. If you cannot finish it at once, recommended to finish it in the same day.

Use daily for 7 days for optimal results.



I have been incorporating both of these serum and ampoule in my daily skincare routine and
I like how it enhances my skin texture, improving the dryness and roughness and makes
skin softer where I can actually feel the difference the next day. I love how it helps to firm
and refine skin and enhance skin radiance while providing enough moisture, creating softer
and smoother skin. Most importantly, it provides the support to keep premature aging at bay!



It's never too early to start using anti-aging skincare!


Now available at Sasa Malaysia!
