Did you know, I actually didn't start with waxing and shaving but IPL. It all started when I was attracted to a coupon website where they offer a first trial of IPL at a small fraction of the normal price. I was sold at once and immediately bought it to try how it was like! My experience? It was pretty painful to be honest and I thought to myself, do we really need to endure such pain for the sake of beauty? The answer is no. Beauty does not have to come with pain!


So much thanks to Hairy Mary, Thor Light Laser for painless permanent hair removal treatment is now available as an option! If you have been following me on instagram, you would have noticed that I have just made my second visit to Hairy Mary and OMG, I can't help but squeal with happiness inside me after every visit. It is not only painless but it just feels so good! More on that later on.


•So, what is Thor Light Laser?•
When there's Thor Light Laser, it's time to say goodbye to IPL! Thor Light Laser Treatment is one of the most amazing technology in medical innovations which makes life so much more beautiful and convenient without having to go trough painful trauma!

"No more painful waxing, shaving, plucking and conventional IPL which might lead to ingrown hair and skin irritation."


Freezing Thor combine the light laser energy with cool freeze system to bring the temperature down to -5 to -10 degree Celsius. It allows an even distribution of continuous energy in a moving motion, delivering adequate amount of energy to the hair follicles and effectively destroy it permanently. The energy delivered pinpoint directly to the hair follicle, hence does not affect nor damage the surrounding tissues, giving you a painless and hassle free treatment.

Thor technology is very precise, which is why it is suitable for any area of the body – face, underarms, legs – for males and females of all skin types.

"It is Safe, Efficient & Pain Free!"


•IPL vs Thor Light Laser,•
If there was a choice to choose between IPL and Thor Light Laser, my answer will always be the latter. No question asked. Answer is obvious with the comparison below;
Beam:
IPL - scattered beam which might miss the hair patch and also affects surrounding tissues.
THOR - very targeted beam which only hair very precisely without affecting surrounding tissues.
Hair Type & Skin Tone:
IPL - not very effective on coarse hair hence take a much longer time to be effective and only works for fair skin.
THOR - effective on all hair type and skin tone.
Efficiency:
IPL - usually takes more than 10 sessions to show hairless result.
THOR - usually takes only about 6 sessions to show hairless result.
Pain level:
IPL - could be average to quite painful especially for area with dark skin and thick hair.
THOR - little to no pain.
Affordability:
IPL - much more costly than waxing and shaving but saves a lot of time after treatment and worth it.
THOR - higher price than IPL per session but total cost is quite similar if compared to total price to reach hairless result.






•Thor Laser Light Treatment Procedure•
1. On 1st visit, the staff will explain all about Thor Light Laser and how it works before we are ushered into the treatment room.  
2. In the room, we will be required to change into a gown for more comfort and prevent any inconvenience.
3. My current treatment course is the Full Leg Thor Light Laser treatment. The targeted area was  examined and then gently shaved. Then, a layer of cooling gel will be applied before the Thor Light Laser Beam is rolled along the skin surface. Every surface will be repeated a few times.
4. Once done, the cooling gel will be wiped off and a soothing lotion will be applied.

Pictures below show a comparison and result of before 1st treatment and 1 month later; (shy)

•Personal Experience• 
When I first heard about Thor Light Laser, I was skeptical about the no pain because it sounds a little too real to be true! Until I personally tried it for the Full Leg Part, am I truly awed at how comfortable this treatment feels. I bet you would not believe me too when I told you that I did not feel anything at all besides the movement of the machine roller of the . This could be because I have a strong tolerance but fret not, even for low pain tolerance, there might only be a slight tingling sensation. The level of comfort is absolutely incomparable with IPL treatment. The whole session felt so comfortable that it was really relaxing for me, like a spa session. Also thanks to the experienced staff for the caring and gentle touch, it was truly an enjoyable session for me. My best description, I could literally fall asleep. 😪💤 I wonder if I'm the only one.

Zero level pain :)

After the first session, there was no down time at all and I do not feel any sensitivity like what I would usually feel after waxing which are redness and bumps on pores. Hair growth have also reduced by quite a lot; there were some patches with hair and some without but overall, the hair were getting fine. I do feel that it takes less treatments to achieve a hair free condition compared to the usual IPL treatment. Therefore, I would definitely recommend Thor Light Laser for everyone who is thinking of signing up for a permanent hair removal package! Totally effective and paint free!

KISS, Keep It Simple and SafeDon’t we all girls wish it wouldn’t hurt to be pretty? The fact is, we all probably learn how to be pretty with our first purchase of conventional make up products. Well, it was hard to resist with all the pretty advertorials and what not, packaging and affordable price! Who would have thought so deeply about the harmful makeup ingredients contain inside!


How I wish we were all more educated about safe make up products back then but now is still not too late! Some might think that since it is applied on the skin layer which is outside, it is probably not absorbed into the body and hence does no harm! Unknowingly, that thought is killing us slowly with all the toxicity that our body is absorbing from the harmful synthetic makeup ingredients which we applied on our skin so frequently.

This is going to be one long educational post on picking the best make up products for your skin. If you’re care enough for your own well-being, skin and health, read on. If not, you can probably skip and come back the next time synthetic makeup cause problem to your skin!

Again, it is always not too late to discover and stop using what is harmful to our body. With this, I’m really glad to have gained a deeper knowledge about Mineral Makeup and learn to dismiss many of the commercial mineral makeup products which might provide insincere and vague claims. I have came across enough to learnt that brand marketing nowadays love playing around with words which might cause confusion to consumers like us. Did you know that there’s a difference between makeup products with 100% mineral and 100% pure premium minerals makeup? 😸


Thanks to the recent introduction to KISS Mineral, an Australia Made 100% Pure Mineral Makeup brand, I learnt what is best for my skin and have the opportunity to try out one of the very beneficial makeup product for my skin! Not just any mineral makeup product in the market, KISS Mineral makeup line of products is actually something that aesthetic and medical doctors would actually approve and encourage their patients to apply for beauty post treatment and also approved to be left on the face without removing!

To begin with, we should understand what’s inside the makeup products range available in the market;

  • Conventional makeup – the most common products we can find in the market, they may contain little to none actual mineral, may contain heavy metals, use mostly harmful chemicals, synthetic colouring and fragrances.
  • Mineral Makeup – due to increase of consumer awareness towards makeup products made from synthetic and harmful ingredients, this line of makeup is currently being introduced to the market, claiming to be 100% mineral or 100% natural mineral but in actual fact, the whole product might only consist of 20% to 40% minerals, mixed with other synthetic ingredients which could still be harmful ingredients.
  •  100% Pure Mineral Makeup – probably one of the purest and best pure mineral makeup product line you can find in the market. They consist fully of 100% actual pure and natural minerals, with no fillers and no synthetic ingredients.
  
"KISS Mineral makeup products are indeed proud to announce that they fall under the category of 100% Pure Mineral Makeup."



While developing their makeup products, KISS Mineral stood by the 7 Nos in mind, avoiding harmful ingredients at all cost;

  • No Heavy Metals – such as lead, mercury or any other heavy metal which could stay and build up in our body and eventually passed through the placenta barrier to an unborn causing damage to the child’s central nervous system, kidneys and reproductive system which could also be fatal.
  • No Petroleum – mineral oil which is ‘occlusive agents’ which seals off the skin barrier air, water or anything at all from getting in or out hence could cause hormonal imbalance and lead to cancer.
  • No Toxins – such as methylisothiazolinone which is normally used as preservatives actually has a 10% allergic reaction rate to cause rashes, lumps, blisters, itchy eyes and facial swelling.
  • No Gluten – glutens usually found in grains used as binders, known to possibly cause skin condition such as dermatitis herprtiformis, leading to extremely painful rash skin.
  • No Parabens – preservatives used in most makeup products which could cause breast cells to be abnormal and lead to cancer, especially when used over a long period of time.
  • No Synthetic Colours – synthetic ingredients which contains toxins and chemicals, increasing skin sensitivity and irritation. Also known to block pores and increase breakouts. Some colours could even be cancer causing agents if used for long term.
  • No Harmful Ingredients – ingredients which are not natural and can cause allergy, skin sensitive reaction and be fatal in the long run.

Besides, KISS Mineral also stood by a few rules of thumb during the creation of their makeup products;

  • Chemical-free ingredients that feel light on the skin
  • Non-comedogenic ingredients that will not clog pores
  • Recommendations by medical experts
  • Natural, vegan friendly and cruelty free
  • 100% Pure and Natural Mineral ingredients that naturally screens you from the sun while soothing and calming your skin.
  • Long lasting and winter resistant makeup that’s great for work out.
  • Looking flawless and naturally fabulous all day long!


Personally, I‘m quite sold by the thoughtfulness put into the creation of KISS Mineral makeup products. In this post, I will be highlight two main products which I feel is probably one of the few makeup items I can’t live without!  

Introducing; 100% Pure Premium Mineral Foundation & 100% Pure Premium Mineral Setting Powder.

100% Pure Premium Mineral Foundation - Ingredients used are premium-grade minerals which promotes soothing and calming, so you can say bye bye to irritated skin, clogged pores and breakouts.
- Gentle on all skin types
- Minimal re-touching needed
- Water & sweat proof
- Protect your skin from the sun
- Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
- No more clogged pores

100% Pure Premium Mineral Setting Powder - Ingredients used are light-weight, helps to regulate skin’s PH balance for more radiant skin and superior matte finish.
- Suitable for all skin types
- No clogged pores
- Great oil control
- Even out your skin tone
- Get a longer lasting radiant effect
- Reduce fine lines and wrinkles


Method of application:

  1. Turn the cover of the mineral foundation to exposure the little openings and pour out a tiny bit at a time ( don't be too greedy and put out a lot!) onto the black cover.
  2. Press the foundation brush against the cover and twist onto the cover as if tightening a screw.
  3. Lift up and repeat step 2  for a few times until the mineral powder stick evenly onto brush.
  4. Apply by moving the brush in circular motion onto skin with some pressure so that the mineral powder will successfully apply on the pores as well. 
  5. For a higher coverage, repeat the steps above for about 3 more times (total 4 layer coverage). Do not attempt to pour a lot of mineral powder and apply them at once for a thick coverage because it might cause uneven application.

The foundation powder can also be used as concealer and here's how:

  1. To use as concealer, it is important to apply using the concealer brush.
  2. Dispense some mineral foundation onto the cover.
  3. Pick up the mineral foundation by sweeping across the powder with the brush.
  4. Sweep across the area that needs concealing and repeat for a few times to thicken coverage.
  5. Repeat step 3 & 4 to apply more coverage layer,.
  6. You will notice that it does magically creates a thick layer which gives a pretty high coverage on dark spots and acne. (Yes, acne. Read on to know what it will do to your acne!)

Alas, repeat the similar steps of 1 to 4 used for mineral foundation application to apply the mineral setting powder as the last step. However, for a person who has oily skin, the setting powder can also be used as the first and the last step as well. Feel free to experiment the step arrangement on when to apply the mineral foundation and mineral setting powder. Sometimes, only we know whats's best for ourselves.

Sharing my personal thoughts and experience;
I have first tried it on my hands, followed by application on my face for a day out and I have to say that they are really worth sharing! Before trying it out, I  do have my share of doubts on the product performance such as coverage, dryness and comfort.

To be honest, I am pretty amazed with the coverage with it being a mineral makeup. KISS Mineral Foundation are made up of powder form fine minerals and judging by common sense, I would think that the foundation will only be able to give a light sheer coverage or concealing but with the right technique and brush, it actually gives a pretty high coverage!  Don't believe me, a picture paints a thousand words. Just scroll down and see for yourself. 😃



Secondly, my concern is on the texture of application. Makeup wise, the products I use are usually liquid form and I would avoid powder form products due to the dryness it causes. The deep lines and wrinkles never fail to show up if I use powder form makeup products. Yup, that's one of my reason to avoid powder application at all cost! KISS Mineral foundation somehow proves me wrong! Not all makeup product in powder form performs the same. Application of KISS Mineral foundation  was actually quite feather light and it didn't feel like I had any layer on top, feeling so breathable. Importantly, it only shows my laughing line lightly without magnify it nor show obvious texture of dry skin cracks and pores. 

  
It also makes me happy knowing that the application of KISS Mineral Foundation and Setting Powder provides benefits to my skin instead of causing hazard. I have sensitive skin type and at times of acne attacks, I frown upon makeup. because it is guaranteed to make my condition worse. When I tried out the foundation and setting powder, I notice that the redness and flaring on my acne has reduced. After all, KISS Mineral does promote anti-inflammation and anti-bacteria. 💕


I often experience skin irritation daily from dryness and oil secretion on my skin surface but it felt different with KISS Mineral foundation and setting powder on my face. On observation day, I had both the foundation and setting powder from 10am till 11pm, when I finally removed it when I got home after my work day. During the time between, I did not experience greasiness on my skin like I usually do on most of my face but only slightly on the corner of my nose and forehead. My skin felt so comfortable I don't get my usual urge to give it a scratch. After my night cleansing routine, I felt that there was no residue left stuck on my pores. I am super delighted about this because clean pores = happy me! 😉 

I know I'm listing so many benefits you might think I'm trying to hard sell this product. You are not wrong, I do want to hard sell this product because KISS Mineral really does what it says it does and that makes me so happy! I am honestly sharing my honest experience here and I wish this will be able to benefit a lot of people especially people with sensitive skin.


Honestly, do give it a try! If you are still deliberating whether to try or not, here's another reason why you should give it a try now! I'm really happy share my discount code so that you can get it for a more affordable price.

Exciting news for Jason Mraz fans in Asia!

Multiple GRAMMY® Award winner JASON MRAZ will be bringing his Good Vibes Tour to Malaysia at Axiata Areana! So you better block your calendar (more info right below) to catch him live on stage!

Are you one of them who caught Jason Mraz shooting to fame with his debut album Waiting For My Rocket To Come  in 2002? Since then Jason Mraz has amassed a diverse fan-base around the globe, bringing his positive message and folk-pop sound to rapt audiences through his vibrant recordings, humorous live performances, and philanthropic efforts. I have never been to any of Jason Mraz's live but have been amazed by his live stage recording since my friend introduced them to me. Jason Mraz's live performances will blow you away and you won't believe how it is much more amazing than listening to his recordings!

Jason Mraz earned numerous platinum and awards for his various releases, made pop history with his record-breaking singles, “I’m Yours” and “I Won’t Give Up”, won two Grammy Awards, received the prestigious Songwriter Hall of Fame Hal David Award, and sold out amphitheaters and arenas across the globe (including sell-outs at The Hollywood Bowl, Madison Square Garden, and London’s O2 Arena).



Jason Mraz first performed in Malaysia in 2009, followed by Tour Is A Four Letter Word in 2012. On playing for his Asian fans, did you know that Jason Mraz once said: “I enjoy travelling to and performing for listeners in Asia. I feel a sense of gratitude and enthusiasm unlike anywhere else in the world, which makes a performance feel more like an event than a recital. The audience participation in Asia is harmonic and supersonic. I am thrilled to return, reconnect and re-experience the joy.”

The Good Vibes Tour announcement follows the release of Jason’s sixth studio album KNOW. on August 10th 2018, becoming his fifth consecutive studio album to debut in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200.

Know. was produced by Andrew Wells, who brings an organic and groovy feel to the album’s classic, acoustic rock sound. “I see it as a sonic evolution from my last album, YES! ”Mraz says. “It’s just got a bit more caffeine, whereas my last album was a bit more herbal tea.” Know. reteams Mraz with his longtime collaborators, Raining Jane. “We thought it’d be fun to make ‘No’ as the follow -up to YES!, but instead of ‘N-O,’ the negative, it’d be the positive, 'K-N-O-W.' 


Are you ready for Jason Mraz?

The Good Vibes Tour started in North America last summer and continues in Asia where Jason Mraz will perform in Manila, Singapore, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Bangkok and Taipei in May 2019.
