My Beauty emotion : Besides smelling like a fresh oven baked cookies  ^_^ (due to the natural sweet fragrance from honey and milk), It's a fairly good body lotion. It's not sticky and it keeps my skin hydrated even if I am in a gym workout. It also helps ease my dad's eczema problem.

March to Mauve and Fever

As we are well aware that Korea is well known for producing top quality skin care products labels such as Laneige, Skin Food, Nature Republic and many more.. Well usually they are not only good in quality but also adorable in design (yes...those that make you wanna buy even though you don't use them) hahaha...

In the recent Motherhood Expo, I was introduce to Mauve & Fever. A new Korean Natural Baby Skin Care. To me its like a skin care/ cosmetic skin care for children age 3 - 12 years old. I wonder why would a child that age need to use skin care (well..i guess korean starts their skin care lesson as young as that age. that's why they are so pretty). Anyway it was pretty interesting to know..

We have heard of many good things about drinking wheatgrass as a supplement in our daily diet. As they contains nutrients such as amino acid, calcium, chlorophyll and magnesium. It also contains several vitamins, namely vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E. It helps in lowering blood pressure, restoring grey hair and also reduce skin sagging.

Can drink wheat grass due to its greenie smell..?? No worries, you can try use them on your daily bathing rituals.

Introducing the Wheatgrass Essence Moisturizing Body Shampoo or Wheatgrass Essence 2 In 1 Hair Shampoo. Both are proud products of Clovers.

Wheatgrass Essence Moisturizing Body Shampoo is specially formulated with wheatgrass extract, blister oats extract and plant based lecithin to cleanses, hydrate and whiten skin naturally. Rich in vitamin source such as vitamin A, B, D, E and protein for complete nourishment while cleansing your skin. Its free of SLS (Sodium Laurel Sulfate. A type of foaming agent found in many detergents)  


The ingredients that are found in the product..

C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate crosspolymer - A film forming agent that creates a flexible and cohesive protective film over the skin/hair for long periods of time, thus helping to retain moisture.  It also works to control the thickness and stability of a solution. Can be found in many products such as facial moisturizer, sunscreen, cleanser, baby lotions, anti-aging treatment, eye cream, hair dye and hair styling gel.

Sodium Myreth Sulfate – A type of sodium salt derived from sulfated ethoxylated myristyl alcohol. A mild cleansing/ foaming agent found in body care products. This ingredients is pretty safe (Cancer related ones is the SLS or SLES..not this one. So don’t get mixed up)

Cocamidopropyl Betaine – A surfactant that comes from coconut oil, and it's a common ingredient in many liquid skin cleansers. Surfactants are detergents that allow water to wash away the oil and dirt from your skin by decreasing the surface tension of water and making it easier to wet your face. Surfactants are both lipophilic -- oil loving -- and hydrophilic -- water loving -- which enables them to remove dirt and oil from your skin


Glycerin - Glycerin is a compound that can be made from natural products such as vegetable oil. The effects of glycerin on skin are a healthier, more natural-looking appearance. Glycerin is what is called a humectant, meaning that it attracts water. When glycerin or glycerol is applied to the skin, it seals in moisture that might otherwise escape.

Triticum Aestivum (wheat) leaf extract - . Rich in vitamin source such as vitamin A, B, D, E and protein for complete nourishment while cleansing your skin

Avena Strigosa Seed Extract - Extracted from black oat, this extract is high in amino acid content as well as in its selection of essential amino acids. The very high natural content of the two trace elements zinc and manganese contributes to the oat’s anti-oxidative properties. Zinc and manganese play an important role as catalysts in the prevention of the development of free radicals.

Lecithin - A chemical component that is naturally found in eggs, soy, and some animal organs—and it’s one that may help heal skin conditions for which there is no conventional medical cure. Recommended by some experts for treating psorisis (a skin condition where the rate of tissue growth and replacement is accelerated, causing sensitive red skin covered by silver or white scales). Psoriasis is similar to eczema and dermatitis.
