A few weeks back, I picked up some skincare goodies that are super affordable. You know I'm all about those drugstore finds—I'm definitely your bargain girl! If you're watching your wallet like me, hopefully, you'll enjoy this post. Let's dive into the haul~
My Fav Recipe by Nuela Aloe Vera Gel
You know if you've been following my blog for a while, this product is a total game-changer for me. My skin absolutely adores this aloe vera gel—it's like magic! Funny thing, I randomly stopped using it for a good three months, just got caught up with life, you know?
Big mistake. My skin threw a fit and went haywire! So yeah, I'm pretty hooked on this specific aloe gel now. If you've got oily skin, this might just be your new moisturizer. And bonus—it's super affordable, and this huge tube lasts forever, like six months or more!
Aiken Tea Tree Oil Facial Cleanser
I'm trying out this new facial cleanser for the first time. I've heard lots of good stuff about it, especially since it's got tea tree oil—I mean, tea tree oil is like magic, right? My skin's not super acne-prone, but it does get oily and throws some pimples my way now and then. Always on the lookout for products that keep that oil in check!
I've been using it for a few weeks now, and I gotta say, I'm loving it! It's really gentle and smells super strong of tea tree, which I'm into, but I know it's not everyone's jam. The texture's thick and creamy, and it lathers up real easy. Plus, you only need a tiny bit each time, like a pea size—seriously, a little goes a long way.
So far, so good—I haven't had any breakouts or irritation, thank goodness. I was really hoping this would be the end of my skincare hunt. Fingers crossed this one sticks!
Simple Kind To Skin Micellar Cleansing Wipes
I absolutely love these makeup remover wipes! It's my first time trying them, and I'm totally hooked. They're super convenient and gentle on my skin—no irritation at all. Plus, they're alcohol-free, which is a big win for sensitive skin like mine. They feel kinda dry but still manage to get all the makeup off really well. They're perfect for those late nights when I come home exhausted and just want to crash. These wipes save me so much time—I can't recommend them enough, especially if you're always on the go or just want an easy way out at night!
Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water
I've mentioned this product in my skincare routine post. I'm still using it and will keep using it because it seriously rocks at removing my makeup—like, totally spotless every time. I'm really impressed with how it doesn't make me break out or irritate my skin. Overall, it's just such a great product. It's been a staple in my skincare routine and has always been a go-to for me.
Vaseline Intensive Care Aloe Soothe Lotion
So, like, my face gets oily, but my body? It's a whole different story. My hands, arms, legs, and thighs are always dry. This lotion saves me every time. It gives my skin the moisture it craves without feeling sticky or oily. It just leaves it smooth and soft.
And the best part? It actually heals those annoying dry patches I've had forever. Oh, and if you're into aloe vera scent, this has a light one that fades fast but keeps your skin hydrated all day. Definitely recommend it, especially if you've got super dry skin—it's budget-friendly too!
Vaseline!!! OMG But I never choose Aloe lotion cuz I'm dying for pink colour smh
ReplyDeleteI somehow allergic to the ones on the pink packaging. I don't know why but I'll be itching like crazy when I wear it :/
Deletei do love the aloe vera gel. used to be one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteIt's the best by far xx
DeleteI used the Aiken Tea Tree Oil set before and totally loving the toner and moisturiser. Too bad that the cleanser didn't works well on my skin.
ReplyDeleteGonna get my Garnier Micellar Water pretty soon since I finished my Nivea Cleansing Water. I love how gentle it feels on my skin and removes all the makeup pretty well. And the best thing is, it doesn't sting my eyes like Nivea cleansing water did to me, which is good 😊
I think the moisturizer is too thick for my skin bcs one of my friend is using it so I kind of know the texture. I hope the cleanser works for me, so far no irritation or allergies whatsoever. I hope! *finger's crossed
DeleteYesss it doesn't sting the eyes kannn hehehe. I love it x
I use both no 4 and 5. These two are the best.
ReplyDeleteI know righttt! They're probably one of my staple skincare items x
DeleteI used aiken products before, it really good for acne skin. but somehow it make my skin dry. i have combination skin.
ReplyDeleteI actually have a friend who told me the same thing that the product dry up her skin and whatnot. And now she stopped using it. How about you?
Deletehaven't used all five but I'm slowly exposing myself with drugstores currently :D nice reading this anywayyyy :D

I'm all about the drugstore. I'm a self proclaimed drugstore queen HAHAHA! I don't care as long as the product works or even if it doesn't work, it won't break the bank :D
Deletemy fovourite micellar water by garnier. Yess same, oily skin :(
ReplyDeleteIt's my holy grail! It suits my skin <3 Have you tried the new one that is infused with oil or something? The one in the yellow packaging.
DeleteI want to try aiken products but it is so hard to find them. Wanted to try the toner so badly :(
ReplyDeleteSo trueeee! Sometimes it's quite hard to find them in stores. They always sold out :( Next time when you do see them on display, just stock them up girl! Just in case, for backups hehehe
DeleteKulit Fatin meragam awal bulan 12 baru-baru ni. Stop using any creams, just pakai krim ubat yang diambil di klinik je. Sekarang cuma pakai Cosmoderm Tea Tree Oil Cleanser je.
ReplyDeleteMuka dah okay nanti baru sambung semula skincare routine kot. Huhu. Fatin dapat rasa yang kulit muka Fatin ni macam kurang sesuai pakai whitening products. Naik jerawat besar yang dari dalam kulit tu.
Seronok tengok skincare Lenne. Simple je. Tak banyak rangkaian produk :)
I knowww. Sayang sangat sebab you have fair skin so memang akan nampak lah scars tu. Hopefully they're getting better! Probably ingredients dalam whitening products lah kot yg tak sesuai kan? Fatin try product baru eh? Kalau boleh stop dulu kejap, bagi skin tu heal a bit and focus on skincare. Also, minum banyak air mineral 😉
DeleteI'm trying to go as minimal as possible. Whatever works for me, that'll stick in my skincare routine. Sayang je kalau try banyak banyak product tapi takda satu pun yg berkesan utk kita, right? So I stick to the ones that give positive impact on my skin hehe x
Lenne dah tak guna k, pure beauty cleansing foam? lps tgk Lenne review hari tu rasa mcm nak try
ReplyDeleteHi Bella! Lenne still pakai, occasionally. Still ada dalam skincare routine Lenne cuma yg Aiken ni acts like a "backup" and both of them works great. Muka Lenne sekarang smooth, tak banyak texture dah and acne (other than hormonal acne) memang kurang sangat sangat dah :)
