GOODAL SUPERSEED OIL PLUS SKIN MIST REVIEW

(148ml)

Clio, who is endorsed by Kpop Queen, Lee Hyori – has launched a sub-brand called ‘Goodal - a product line that focuses on a clean ingredient list and naturalism.  Recently, I attended the SAMPLESTORE event and bought the retail size Superseed oil plus skin mist as I was really impressed when I first discover the product from the consultants. 

The Superseed oil plus skin mist is made up of oil and water layer and advised to shake for more moisturising and brightening effects. 

Contents of the Superseed oil plus skin mist are being produced after taking 720 hours of fermentation from 7 kinds of raw seeds. Since seed are fermented from natural seeds directly, product is naturally made and not artificial. 

Unique Selling point

This product includes fermenting raw seed from natural seeds.

Seed oil ingredients:
Argan oil - responsible for firming care.

Olive Oil - calming and soothing to skin

Macadamia Oil - Supplying nutrition

Sunflower seed Oil- Supplying skin energy 

Jojoba oil - strengthen moisturising

Cameillia Oil - retains hydration 

Green Tea Seed oil - Brightening care. 

This amazing product contains toner, brightening whitening agent, serum and Essential Oil all-in-1 and hence it is really functional and nutritive for skin. At the same time it leaves skin feeling refreshed after usage. It is also convenient since we can save time and cost for the awesome combination of all 3 products into one product. 

My verdict:

 After using it for 6 days since I bought it from the Samplestore event, I was really amazed by the effectiveness of this product as I could see my skin condition improving. My skin becomes brighter and skin tone more even. Personally I prefer natural/organic product and hence I am really pleased with this product! Highly recommended and I will continue to purchase after I am finished with this current bottle. Definitely gentle to skin! P.S: I use this product after cleansing my face.

Malaysia - Kuala Lumpur Franchise

Personally, I have been to the full house restaurant in Kuala Lumpur back in 2011. Based on my memory, I remembered that the restaurant was themed in white and it even have a corner that retails several products. The menu was really extensive as it includes appetiser, main course, dessert and drinks. They were also presented in pretty crockeries and cutleries. The twin towers were also visible from a distance away, it was really perfect! Even till today I still have memories of going there. Food was really awesome I remember ordering fruit juice and it was served in a really big jar. The chicken chop was really 'finger licking good' (Delicious). Scrumptious spread of delights and enjoying it with family, how great it was! Highly recommended.

REVIEW OF BIORE MAKEUP REMOVER - MICELLAR CLEANSING WATER (SAMPLESTORE)

With makeup

(with BBcream, concealer, lipstick, eyebrow pencil)

After cleansing:

My verdict:

Really lightweight to skin, refreshing after usage. One of my favourites for sure! Personally I prefer cleansing water to cleansing oil as I don't like the oily residue left after cleansing my face. Based my opinion, I think it's contradicting to have an oily face after cleansing. At the same time, I really like how refreshed it is and its effectiveness in removing traces of makeup. I am able to effectively clean my face for  about 1-2 wipes (cotton pads) and everything comes off easily. Personally I am really pleased with this cleanser since it is functioning well like what a cleansing water should do.  Take note: Certain makeup products such as long lasting mascara/eyeliner, might require a separate remover and hence can be further improved. I also liked the idea of the stopper since I am able to bring it overseas to use without leakage. Pump allows easy control of amount and product remains hygienic.  Overall, I highly recommended this product as I am a light makeup user and it is Made in Taiwan!

Thank you Samplestore for letting me discover this pretty pink bottle of goodness ^.^

The founder of Din Tai Fung was a man called Bingyi Yang. Born 1927 in China Shaxi Province and move to Taiwan in search of better prospects. His first job was a deliveryman in Heng Tai Fung, due to his great impression of hard work, he was promoted to take charge of the company's account within 2 years of service. Due to business loss, Bingyi was left unemployed. 

Bingyi decided to open his own oil shop and eventually start selling dumpling. It's unique taste of dumpling was the kickstart to this recognised international brand.
