Innisfree Beauty Picnic with Jeju Sparkling Mineral Line

I had an amazing time at Innisfree Beauty Picnic a while ago in Organica Lifestyle in Bangsar! Wanted to write about it earlier but was really busy so here I am finally posting this up! A few days before the event, I was told to wear my picnic outfit. Honestly I never been to a real picnic in Malaysia because weather is so damn hot and feel a bit insecure with our security. So I put on my self-imagine picnic #ootd to go to the event, wearing something casual and a hat thinking we will be having picnic under the sun! Ahh... thank god I arrived at the venue and it's fully air-conditioned!

Can you agree with me that this place was decorated perfectly to fit to the event theme? Lots of flowers, green grass, picnic basket.... ah for a moment  I thought I was in Jeju having a picnic! 

Love  the details in the decorations that they put up.. Good job guys!

Before we start with our beauty picnic with Innisfree, Johnny Nam, Brand Manager of Innisfree shared his short welcome note with us. He shared that Innisfree is often aspires to inspire consumers in ways to celebrate natural beauty while keeping it green. A beauty picnic is a form of inspiration of beauty lovers to meet and dedicate their time to appreciate the wonders of earth's produce.

Ms Purple Tap is Innisfree Assistant Training Manager shared that Innisfree products are made from Jeju Island, Korea natural resources. 

Ms Purple shared that in the olden days, Jeju pure sparkling mineral water is known as Gumyeongsu (life saving water), as it cured illness and saves lives. Its goodness has been told from generation to generation. 

Jeju sparkling mineral water is unique that it feels cold at the first touch as its temperature is lower than the body temperature. With the high carbonic content, it stimulates blood circulation and giving the skin a warm feeling. 

This new Innisfree new range is a daily hydration skincare range that uses sparkling mineral water as its main element. It promises your skin clear and moist from within while giving you an everyday hot spring spa-like sensation. 

Jeju Sparkling Mineral is made from Sanbangsan Mountain's hot spring water in Jeju Island. We were told that this is not just normal water as this pure sparkling mineral water was formed 800,000 years ago and is drawn from the aquifer 535 meters deep underground.

A very interesting fact that we were told is that this hot spring has an average temperature if 31 celcius and it's lower than general hot spring and this actually helps the carbon content of the water high. Carbonic acid from the hot spring has the ability to penetrate effortlessly into the skin due to its highly soluble state which increases the oxygen absorption ability of blood, muscles and skin. Innisfree Jeju Sparkling Mineral contains 3 types of carbonic acid and 13 types of hot spring minerals which convey active ingredients to the skin.

I have been to hot spring no wonder my skin was always soft and moist after soaking, probably due to the carbonic acid. Interesting to see Innisfree is using hot spring water mineral to make into a skincare range cos I never seen any brands has use this ingredients.

Innisfree Jeju Sparkling Mineral has a total of 6 products that ranges from cleansing powder, toner, essence, lotion, moisturiser (cream and lotion type) and mist. 

I wore my cute Innisfree headband and I'm ready to try out the products and share a little bit more on each range. So are you ready? Let's go!

Innisfree Jeju Sparkling Mineral Powder (RM8.00/30g)

This is a cleansing powder with Jeju sparkling mineral water. Revitalize skin with this easy-to-use  carbonic acid powder pack that clears and moisturises skin, giving skin relaxing spa-like treatment with carbonic acid hot spring water at the comfort of home. The fizzy bubbles form as the sparkling mineral powder dissolves into water, providing a sparkling massage effect.

It also contains Jeju tangerine peel extract that cleanses away any dirt left inside our pores, giving instant brightening effect after washing the face. 

How to use : Get a big bowl that can fit your face. Fill in the bowl with water with about 1.5 to 2 liter of water. Add in Sachet 1 (blue pack) ad wait until it dissolves. Add sachet 2 (white pack) and stir in the water to make fizzy bubbles. 

Soak your face into the water for 2-3 minutes or wash your face using both hands to feel the effect of sparkling massage. Rinse off your face with lukewarm water. 




Watch a short video I posted in my Instagram @jessyings on how I do this. It's so addictive... haha... and I just bought a new pack again to enjoy the sparkling massage effect. 

First time trying cleansing powder in this way, would say totally unique experience. I felt my skin is refreshing and softer after soaking into this. And really fun to do! 

Note : If your skin turn red or flushing after soaking don't be alarmed because your skin is having blood circulation.  It will calm down after a while.

Innisfree The Green Tea Seed Serum (RM90/80ml)

One of their best seller of all time, I have been wanting to try this! This water-like texture, the serum  is made of 100% fresh green tea instead of water, and able to boast a five-times-better moisturising power after use and increases the moisture content inside the skin up to 66% while decreasing the amount of dead skin cells by 76% - keeping your face effortlessly crystal; clean. The light green tea scent is really pleasant.

You have realised that I have put on serum first on my 2nd step of skincare instead of lotion. This is recommended by Innisfree because Green Tea Seed Serum will act as a booster. It will help to allow deep penetration and absorption of other skincare products into your skin.

Innisfree Jeju Sparkling Mineral Skin (RM79/200ml)

A deep hydration skin toner loaded with 88% sparkling mineral water that provides a powerful boosting effect. The ethanol-free toner (yay it's alcohol free!) is penetrated fast into the skin to smoothen the skin texture and to enhance the absorption of skincare products in the following steps. The acid balanced formula helps maintain a healthy skin by restoring the imbalanced pH after face wash. 

You can either use cotton to apply this or just use your hand to apply this. I prefer the latter method and to pat all goodness from the Mineral Skin onto my skin directly. As there is no alcohol in the product, it's really gentle to the skin. The texture is extremely light and it's water. And the faint tangerine scent is really refreshing. My skin feel soft but not sticky!

Innisfree Jeju Sparkling Mineral Essence (RM110/70g)

This contains 73.6% of sparkling mineral water. With the help of Micro Sparkling Technology, micro-sized carbonic acid bubbles that are smaller than pores are formulated to best fit onto the skin while facilitating penetration of active ingredients, making skin clean, clear and moist. Just like spa therapy, this delivers 5-in-1 intensive moisturising effect that helps with 5 skin concerns such as skin texture, balance uneven skin tone, keep skin firmness, strengthened the skin barrier and promotes blood circulation through massage.
This is the first time I see serum in foam texture but it still absorb nicely onto the skin when I apply it on my skin. Love how my skin feel soft and supple!

Innisfree Jeju Sparkling Mineral Cream (RM110/50g)

This Sparkling Mineral Cream is infused with 69.9% sparkling mineral water. The lightweight translucent fluid texture absorbs fast into the skin to form double moisture layer that remains all day long. The skin-friendly ceramide is stabilized in a fluid form, building a protective film to strengthen the moisture barrier on skin.

To those who has oily or combination skin, you can use Mineral Lotion instead which is lighter than the cream. Personally I felt the cream texture is really light and easy to absorb.

Innisfree Sparkling Mineral Mist (RM52/80ml)

To those who are looking for instant and intense hydration, you can try Sparkling Mineral Mist which has 90% sparkling mineral water. It resolves dryness while supplying minerals to keep skin moisturized anytime and anywhere. 

Love how the mist texture is really fine and absorb onto the skin nicely providing a quick moisturising boost. Although this mist has oil extracted from coconut as one of the ingredients to help to retain moisture on skin, it does not leave the skin oily after spraying the mist.

Tips of spraying mist, make sure you spray at 20cm away from the skin while keeping your eyes  and mouth close..haha see I forgot to close mine and tasted some of the mist.. 

Innisfree Long Wear Cushion SPF50+/PA+++ (RM80/15g) . Refill selling at RM45

Innisfree Long Wear Cushion SPF50+/PA+++ helps to reduce the appearance of pores, discolorations, and imperfections and ensures a perfectly flawless complexion every time. The Long-wear Complex containing Jeju volcanic powder delivers flawless coverage with this long-wearing effect. Whether oily, dry or combination, "Sebum control" Jeju volcanic powder will intuitively adjust to meet and address your skin concerns for makeup that wears better, longer, and true. 

Side by side comparison

I love how Innisfree Long Wear Cushion instantly enhanced my skin complexion with the effect of reducing the appearance of pores, discolorations, and imperfections.

Shopee Mobile Shopping App makes buying and selling online EASY & SAFE!

Ops I shop again!

There is no secret that I love shopping and most of you here love shopping too right! Haha how I wish shopping is our full time job… haha .. so with that much of money we have on hands, we need to be a smart shopper to hunt down the best deal, so that to make worth of every ringgit spend. 

Although I love going around to shop, to physically touch and try it sometimes I felt it’s not economical. Because we have to spend on petrol, toll and parking before we even buy something! And sometimes we didn’t even buy anything but already spend RM50 just to travel to the mall. 

So online shopping is definitely one of the smarter way to shop! Do you agree that it offers :-

1) Better Prices 
If you don’t know usually online stores offer prices that are much lower than what you will find at a physical store. There is always better deals and promotion on online. 

2) Convenience (Save time = Save money) 
I do not need to dress and drive out to do shopping. Save the hassle of stuck in the jam, finding parking and queuing to pay. The beauty of online shopping is I could shop it anywhere and anytime with my mobile or laptop. 

3) Variety 
Shopping online allows you to find many products that you wouldn’t be able to find in a physical store. And you never need to worry products will run out of stock cos they are plenty!

And as a self-proclaimed smart shopper, I always in the hunt for the best shopping sites! And recently I discovered Shopee! To be honest, I have actually heard about Shopee a while ago and just last week I could not resist my curiosity and I went to download the Shopee mobile app from my Google Play Store. Hahaha… and there is no turning back cos I’m hooked on it!


So what is Shopee? 

Shopee is a mobile marketplace designed for both buyers and sellers to enjoy fast, smooth and safe transactions. With their in-app functions, you can easily turn your clutter into cash and share the fun with your friends! Plus, Shopee Guarantee ensures that the seller ships only after the buyer has paid, and the buyer’s payment is transferred to the seller only after receiving the product. They aim to create a simple and secure mobile marketplace for everyone to buy and sell, anytime, anywhere. Sounds pretty straight forward right?

Shopee mobile app is pretty straight forward to use as I can see all the product categories once I opened the app. There are 15 categories that you can choose to pick to browse. 

In case you don’t know, Shopee also have a web mall which is the mirror of the Shopee mobile app and it's perfect to those who prefer to browse through the large screen on their laptop! 

Me being me I went straight to the beauty category lol, under Beauty there are many more sub categories. I love how their product categorisation idea as it is really easy to navigate around the app to discover the products I wanted to find. 

Within the next 10 minutes, I’m already done with my shopping!!

So what did I get from Shopee?

 Innisfree no-sebum Mineral Pact from Wako Beauty 

You know that usually after lunch the face is sweaty and oily so instead of oil blotting paper I read somewhere that it’s better to use this because it leave the skin soft, matte and fresh all day long. Also it contains Jeju minerals and mint control skin oil and moisture to keep skin healthy without feeling drying. Got this at RM34.40 instead of their actual selling price at store for about RM50.

 Innisfree It's real squeeze mask-kiwi and Skin clinic mask - BHA sheet mask from Wako Beauty

I love masks so since I haven’t really tried their sheet mask I picked some try. It’s only about RM3.60 at Shopee while in store it’s about RM9 which is 3 times more expensive. I picked the kiwi one because it is stated that it’s real squeeze mask made from kiwi! Never try a kiwi mask before so I asked myself, why not? And I took out the mask and try out last week! Wow feel really nice lah... the essence was really thick and smells really nice too! Love how it leave my skin feeling so soft, smooth and refreshing! Good buy! I haven’t use the other BHA mask yet probably would try it over the weekend! 

 Last item I bought was Chica Y Tota – S 3.0 from 91 Loading Enterprise 

I picked up this item because recently I had some acne on the my face recently which I think it’s due to my stress or maybe it's my once a month hormonal changes thingy before my menses. It’s bothering me and I really want to make it disappear.. haha… so when I read that this product has the fast acne clearing formula I decided to give this a try! Normal price was about RM110 but it’s only RM72 on Shopee! I haven’t open it to try … shall update you guys soon if this really clear off acne really fast. 

Honestly I was really happy with my purchase because I think I get pretty good deal! It’s really simple to order and delivery of the product was a breeze! And I can see the reviews from other buyers about the seller! The better the rating the better credibility :D Plus the products above are all authentic items just like you those in stores around malls.

Do you know not only you can shop in Shopee but you can also SELL in Shopee too! I have a lot of unwanted stuffs and I haven’t got time to sort them out to sell. I have tried selling Facebook before but it’s not secure because sometimes I have send out the item but the buyer just disappeared and did not transfer the money as promise … 

And with Shopee Guarantee feature the seller ships only after the buyer has paid, and the buyer’s payment is transferred to the seller only after receiving the product. So it’s a win win situation for buyer and seller creating a safe and secure marketplace for all of us! This is the first time I heard about this feature and I totally think this is a good idea cos neither the buyer nor seller would be worried that they will get cheated by each other.

So I have this Lewre leather yellow pump which I have not been wearing since I bought them. Wore them once and the size is wrong for my feet, so I want to try to sell it off via Shopee. I filled up all the required details in template including the price, the number of stocks, shopping fee and shipping fulfillment date within minutes.

Tadaa it’s done and my product is live now in Shopee, hopefully my lovely yellow pump shoes can find her new owner soon!

I will be uploading more stuffs later on, so don’t forget to check out my Shopee store at www.shopee.com.my/jessyings


 Ah before I forgot to mention, I actually like this feature in Shopee very much because I can have private messaging chat with the owner to find out more about the product before I buy! 

Honestly I prefer to shop in Shopee than in Carousel, ebay or other sites because it’s really easy to buy and sell. Prices seems to be cheaper, products are authentic and feeling so safe to buy here with their Shopee Guarantee feature!

Here I have something special for Jessying reader!

Stay Hydrated and Stylish with Aquabook!

I always like to carry small bag because it's easy to carry and looks stylish with any of my outfit. But one thing I realised is that I could not carry my water bottle with me to quench my thirst. Hence sometimes I have to forgo carrying my favourite bag so that I could carry my conventional round water bottle. As I was wondering wh do all the bottles look the same, I stumbled on Aquabook. 

Aquabook was created by two young entrepreneurs from Germany, Felix Durst and David Ziegler who believe that education is the most powerful weapon in tackling the problems modern societies are facing today. Staying hydrated is crucial to maintaining brain activity. Studies show that drinking water can make your brain work faster. They realised that the global consumption of disposable water bottles increases by 10% every year and most of the bottled water in the U.S. is taken from municipal water sources, a.k.a. tap water, and then sold back to consumers at up to 10.000 times the cost of tap water. That explains why I do not like to buy disposable water bottle all the time and always prefer to bring my own bottle.

With disposable water bottles of plastic bottles simply being littered by consumers today it has caused serious environment issue globally. Felix and David believe that they have created Aquabook to be the last bottle of your live.

Aquabook is carefully design flat water bottle designed to fit any kind of purse or bag.

From the first sight, Aquabook does look like a book as it is flat and rectangular in size like an A5 paper. It fits perfectly nice on our purse and handbag without taking too much space, plus it's really stylish to carry! 

Not only it's stylish for women to carry, even men can carry Aquabook in their briefcase.

I like how Aquabook is customizable, convenient and reusable. It’s designed for people who want to carry their water bottle on the go. 

It is made with TRITAN® (Eastman Chemicals), a synthetic that is BPS and BPA free and recyclable, in a polymer specialized manufacture. The technology of this provides temperature resistance, which means we are also able to fill our Aquabook with our favourite hot and cold drinks!

 The Aquabook comes in five different colors and the special Gold Edition with different colour cap for you to match. There will be more colours to be introduced later on.

One very unique feature of Aquabook that I like is that the cover is customisable to the way you like it by using an advanced UV digital printing technology. The labeling is not only affordable but also obtains permanent high-quality results. So basically you can print your favourite picture, pattern or statement making it your very own Aquabook, so awesome right! 

This would made Aquabook an ideal gift for your friends, or a good merchandise article for companies or clubs during birthday or Christmas! 

In case you are wondering how to clean Aquabook, they have cleaning solutions accessories made in Germany to help you to do the cleaning.
So if you like this Aquabook geniusly designed water drinking bottle that is customizable in a genuine A5 format that combines convenience, design and sustainability, do bring Aqualife design to life by contributing to their crowdfunding campaign at Kickstarter

GO for GOLD! 

Get this exclusive eye-catching special Gold Aquabook edition when you pledge a their crowdfunding campaign which runs on Kickstarter!

I really like this Gold edition because it looks super classy and more importantly by using Aquabook instead of single use bottles, we be a part to save our Mother Nature from a lot of plastic waste.
