Best deal from Elianto

When it comes to cosmetic product it is always important to choose a product that not only benefits y0ur skin but does not in the other way harm or sensitive your skin. Many of us the bright consumer learn/ know that 1 of the way to choose a suitable facial product is go by its name, formula, or PRICE( the more expensive means the better as it has better formula).

Elianto is not something stranger to Malaysian beauty anymore as it has been in Malaysia over 4 years, and now everywhere it can be seen.

Elianto is a korean-malaysian based beauty company that its products range from head to toe such as eye shadow, mascara, lipgloss, body lotion- you name it they have it. Most importantly most of the products are made in KOREA as we know that koreans are renowned for their skin fairness and flawlessness and same to the reason why korean beauty products gain popularity in Asia recently, such as Arab Saudi, India, UAE, Philippine, Indonesia.

What caught my attention is that not only Elianto is a product from Korea it is reasonably affordable and suitable for malaysian society. The price of the product ranges from RM10-50.

Recently i just bought a makeup remover (Cystal bright, with minerals and hydrating) which is only RM49, lip liner RM10,

Crystal bright by Elianto used for face, lip, eye remover

One of the reason i bought the makeup remover is that not only it removes the makeup on the face but also the eye, and lip. The sale person told me that it even can be used to remove dirt on our face- that can saves lotta time in removing make up after work + its price is economical, compared to cleansing oils like Shu Eumura. Besdes, it has a nice scent too.

First time use on the remover: its oil-based and it can significantly remove water-proof makeup, naming mascara and it also helps to hydrate my skin, making me feel fresh. I can feel the immediate relief on my skin once the makeup is being removed, no tight-skin-pulling feeling. However, this thing is greasy and felt as though your skin has been coated with a layer of oil. Thus, immediate cleansing with your regular cleanser is needed after use.

The lip liner is just ordinary, not something to brag about. But whats important is that it blends well with my lip color- of cos this varies with different skin texture and color. Unfortunately Elianto does not have a variety of color to choose, which is something they should look into. Maybe because they are made in Korea where people of their country are fairer. The lip liner comes in: pitch pink, sand pink, deep red, purple, oak brown, nude.

BB cream craze - Dr. G or BRTC?

Gosh, i had been busy working over time, my skin condition is at it’s worst! Skin is dry, dehydrated, dull and fine lines appearing!!! Got me thinking of trying out BB (Blemish Balm) creams that are oh-so-hot now. And since my Lancome neuroshield sun block is finishing, I’m considering whether should I get a sun block by itself + a separate BB cream for light coverage, or to get a BB cream with SPF properties.

Hmm… So what’s in my mind? Due to the Korean craze of BB cream that had infected Malaysian, we were introduced with so many brands/types of BB cream. Naming the famous ones, Dr. G, BRTC, Dr. Jart Silver, Skin Food, The Face Shop, Ettude House, Skin79, L’egere and the list goes on. After some intensive research, friend’s recommendation, intensive survey plus cruel elimination, I’ve came down to only Dr. G and BRTC to choose from.

Dr. G Brigthening Balm SPF 30 PA++ (BB cream)

Size = 60ml
Price = RM95
Available at = Sasa outlets

From the net “contains hydrophilic and lipophilic ingredients, each of these unique formulations works on a cellular level to help face skin achieve and maintain a clearer, healthier look. It contains Sun Protection Filter 30 PA++, ideal as a daily makeup base or sun block. Used alone or as a makeup base before foundation.”

Due to unavailability of samples, I went all the way to Sasa, Midvalley at 10am with my bare face to try out Dr. G BB cream. Colour wise, it looked grayish, slightly darker than other tinted sunblock. However, after applying it on my face, patiently waited for 5 minutes, the cream fully sinks into my skin, amazingly blended well with my skin tone giving me a natural look. My gal friend who has very fair skin tone, tried it on as well, but the colour was a lil dark for her. Not too good for very fair girls.

Coverage wise, its only medium, slightly better than tinted moisturizer. Acne scars / blemishes are slightly difficult to hide with this cream, managed to cover it after 3^rd layer of application, and then it started to look cakey. To counter this problem, stick with one thin layer of BB cream, followed by adding on some concealer on needed area. Poof! I looked radiant and fresh! After the BB cream, I dabbed on my Ettusais Day Amulet loose powder to control shine. I went shopping the whole day with my gal friend, had coffee at dome (outdoor), and my face still looks dewy and fresh. Oil control is goodie-good! There’s less shine on my T-zone area compared to if I’m using my usual sunblock + foundation. I’m thrilled!

Until evening, I only had to blot my face with tissue paper, reapply a thin layer of Dr. G BB cream + loose powder, and off I go again. I guess I’ve found myself a substitute to my liquid foundation :) Reached home, did my routine double cleansing (both Clinique), and I don’t find any pore-clogging issue. To proof that, I had a good night sleep, woke up, eagerly checking my face, and found no-spots, no eeky pimple popping up. YAY, I’ve found my Mr. right!!

Sunday, 23-Aug-09

To complete my mission, I woke up early and off I go again, this time, to 1 Utama with my lazy boyfriend. He was dragged out of the bed this morning, grumbled the whole morning, but in the end, still accompanied me there. *muaks* Ok, back to business, I head towards Watsons’s to hunt for:

BRTC Protect Multiplex Balm SPF 20 PA++ BB Cream

Size = 50ml
Price = RM 130.90
Available at = Watsons

This BB cream claims to be for all skin type. How does it feel / look? Texture wise, it’s like a thick paste, thicker than Dr. G’s. Colour wise, grayish, similar to Dr. G but with pink undertone, looks dark, but lighter than Dr. G. It absorbs quickly into my skin, but it left a pinkish tone which didnt look so natural on my skin. Though thick and pasty, surprisingly this cream gave me a more radiant look compared to Dr. G, most possibly due to the pink undertone. It should be a nice colour on not-so-yellow-skin.

Disregarding its thick texture, it gave fantastic oil control! It’s great news to girls out there with acne-prone skin. And what’s more, no clogging of pores, no pimple out-break when the cream was applied or after the cream was removed.

So what’s my justice???
The things I do not like about this BRTC Protect Multiplex Balm SPF 20 PA++ BB Cream:

1. It’s slightly-too-thick-texture. Too creamy I felt.


2. colour oxidizes into a darker colour which it did not happen when I was using Dr. G’s BB cream.


3. SPF indicator (20++) is lower than Dr. G’s (30++)


4. Price wise, not such a big issue, but good to point out that BRTC (RM130.90) is more expensive to Dr. G (RM95)


5. BRTC's pink undertone brough radiance but look fake on me :(

What’s my conclusion then??? Definitely going for Dr. G Brightening Balm SPF 30 PA++ BB Cream!!! I’m sorry BRTC, I know you have great products like the super-famous Whitening & Wrinkle Repair Cream. Just that it doesn’t contain SPF protection… Since I’m hunting for cream with sunblock properties, I did not put BRTC Whitening & Wrinkle Repair Cream into consideration. Might blog about it some day…

My best choice for my youth skin

Aging, a mechanism that everyone will never escape it. The least we can do is to slow down the progress mainly by applying serum solution. There are plenty of serum available in the market and each of them claim to be the best out of the rest. Here, I would like to share with you my experience with the serum solution.

Recently i was doing shopping for serum solution with my best friend at XXX. We were introduced by different beauticians for different facial serums for the following skin condition

1) Dehydration skin due to prolonged air-conditioner exposure

2) Skin pigmentation, sign of aging

3) Combination skin

The facial serum products introduced are:

1) Biotherm- Age fitness power 2- RM 163




2) Clarins-HydraQuench intensive serum bi-phase (50mL)RM 250




3) Estee Lauder- Advanced night repair (50mL) RM290



After deep consideration plus the survey that my best friend has done prior to the shopping, i have choosen Esteen Lauder out of the rest simply of the following reason:

Biotherm-Age fitness power 2

Advantage:Formulated to prevent or reduce sign of aging eg. wrinkles and fine line only.
Weakness:Does not combat dehydration but mild moisturization as it presents in lotion form
Bottom line: If you are looking for something to fight the sign of aging, this is product shall be 1 of your options

Clarins-HydraQuench intensive serum bi-phase

Advantage: Specially made to revitalize dry skin and intensively repair skin damage due to environmental stress. Can be used with other product
Weakness: Not-so-attractive appearance.

Estee Lauder- Advanced night repair

Advantage: Special formulation to combat aging skin by deep penetration to repair and to prevent damage skin cell. It also helps to moisturize skin and prevent further dehydration
Weakness: Can not be used with other product by different brand
Bottom line: If you think serum solution is expensive the you should get this, as you'll get what you pay for. Trust me coz' i like it very much

Estee Lauder Mascara - Review & for Sale

Estee Lauder MagnaScopic Maximum Volume Mascara. Bought this during Estee Lauder Staff Sale and I’m maniac enough to rush to the counter, try it on, and write a review about it. It comes in a lovely chucky plush tube in royal blue colour with fancy gold finishing that oozes out style and class. The size is just right where it sits in your hand well giving you the feel of quality & luxury. Definitely an eye-catching item when you gracefully fling it out from your purse. Looking inside, the wand is small, with spiral brushes that seemed widespread, not clogging up. So far so good.

On application, it glides over lashes smoothly with minimal clumping. The effect I saw: Thick, voluminous and longer lashes. It managed to separate my lashes, define them better and create the lengthy sexy lashes. My advice, one coating is enough to keep it subtle for normal days/ office look.

TIP #1: If you wish to add more drama, you MUST wait for the first layer to dry off before applying the 2^nd layer. By doing that, you’ll avoiding clumping the lashes making them look messy and trashy. I was wearing glasses that day when I tried this mascara out. Even through my thick glasses, my eyes stood out with the lashes nicely defined. The effect is better than Estee Lauder’s Illusionist mascara which I’m now using.

TIP #2: To make sure you turn heads for a night outing, use a lash primer, using quick strokes in zig-zag motion from the base of your lashes and work your way up, outwards. Then apply the MagnaScopic Maxium Volume Mascara to create the lash extension look without actually wearing a falsey :-D

The mascara stayed on without smearing for at least 8 hours. After that, it started to smear a little. Removal of the mascara was not a problem too since I’m using Shu Eumura’s super cleansing oil. :) Definitely recommend it. Click here if you wanna know more.

Retail price is RM 85, i'm letting mine go (unopened, with box) at the price of RM 47

Same old style, leave me a message in my email beautyguruguru@gmail.com if you wanna order.

Estee Lauder anti-cellulite gel on SALE

Who would like to see dimpled-skin, orange-like skin on our pretty little perky butts??? Sad to say, cellulite appears on places like buttocks and thighs REGARDLESS of age or body size. Even skinny model gets cellulite. That's why we need those precious anti-cellulite gel. Here i introduce this anti-cellulite gel from Estee Lauder -- which has clinical data showing a significant visible slimming effect around the thighs of up to 1 inch in just four weeks (click here).

Got this anti-cellulite gel from the same EL staff sale, which the price tag is still attached (see below picture). Since, i'm still using clarins's anti-cellulite gel, i'm letting this go at the

Price at RM 80 (retail price is RM 150 each).

Reviewed by the Total Beauty editorial team = 7.5

"This blue gel does a pretty good job of reducing the look of cellulite. The caffeine-rich Brazilian guarana seeds and Chinese black tea did seem to release "trapped fluid" (thighs looked tighter within an hour after application). It gets points for fat-burning conjugated linoleic acid and collagen-boosting peptides -- both can offer cumulative effects. But apply twice daily? Not with that medicinal smell. Oh, and the "thermogenic" cooling effect is great on a hot day but killer during cold winters."

Well what's your review? Guess you've gotta try this out. and RM 80 is darn cheap!!! Contact me through email at beautyguruguru@gmail.com ya, awaiting to hear from you :)
