Angie Tangerine May 31, 2019 0 Comments

A place where can bring your warm heart to a relax and comfy atmosphere cafe. The Jamaica Blue cafe is a one-of-its-kind cafe that is unique on its own. My Jamaica Blue's experience is serene, relaxed and casual, a place for you to ‘escape’ to. Jamaica Blue vow to express the exotic, crystal blue waters, golden sands and an overall offering that epitomizes the best of Jamaica.

Jamaica Blue was established in 1992 by Foodco, one of Australia’s most successful retail franchise companies, Jamaica Blue concept is built on the foundation of ‘fine coffees and fabulous food’, delivering a truly unique contemporary café experience with exclusive premium products and award-winning coffee.

Throw back to last year 2018, when I was walking around in Harbour Town at Gold Coast the smell of the coffee bean and the vibe of the cafe attracted me when I passed by. I've stopped my step decided to take a try! The quality of the food were as good as their coffee. It was an unforgettable experience during my first visit to Jamaica Blue Cafe at gold coast.

Never thought that this time I'v been invited by Jamaica Blue Malaysia to have a food review at GMBB, The Robertson, KL. It was my pleasure to attend for my 2nd visit to Jamaica Blue in Malaysia. Thanks for having my family and me in the house.

Jamaica Blue has thrived despite the extremely competitive food retail market with two simple beliefs that guided them to everything that they’ve done: a belief in sourcing, roasting and preparing the very best coffee; and a belief in using only fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. They serve only 2 types of coffee beans – Jamaica Blue Signature Blend and Jamaica Blue Mountain.

Long Black Blue Mountain Coffee RM 19.20

Cappuccino Blue Mountain Coffee RM 22

I'm hooked with Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee which is consider one of the world's best coffees. It's taste mild and perfectly balanced. OMG~ this is so delicious! The coffee is sweet with crisp finish when I took a sip of it. One of the world’s superior coffee-growing regions! BEST RECOMMENDED - MUST TRY!!!

What is Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee? Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee is a classification of coffee grown in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. The best lots of Blue Mountain coffee are noted for their mild flavour and lack of bitterness. I can assure you it'll be one of the best coffee you'll ever taste before.

[Beauty Review] MAMONDE MICRO DEEP CLEANSING OIL & FOAM

Angie Tangerine May 26, 2019 0 Comments

Our air quality has deteriorated with the increasing release of industrial gases, traffic fumes and tobacco smoke into the air. The constant haze phenomenon especially during the dry season worsens air pollution and that greatly affects our skin and our health. Coarse pollutant particles measuring PM10-2.5 can enter the skin through our pores.

Constant exposure to pollution without proper cleansing can cause adverse effects to the skin such as ageing, darkening of skin cells, pigmentation, skin allergies and acne. It is therefore important that we deep cleanse our pores and not just the skin’s surface in order to maintain our skin health.

Mamonde’s Micro Deep Cleansing line which comprises of a Cleansing Oil and Cleansing Foam was developed to help its customers get rid of pollutant particles from deep within pores for healthier looking skin. The Lotus plant from its petals to its roots and seeds was picked for this line because of its moisturising effects and it is also rich in Vitamin C as well as collagen fibres. It is also effective as a cleansing agent yet gentle on the skin.

Did you know that the Lotus plant is able to thrive in muddy ponds because of its ability to cleanse and purify itself? It then transforms into a beautiful fragrant flower. The Lotus Micro Deep Cleansing Oil & Foam is created with fresh, organic Lotus plant from Jeongeup-si, South Korea.

Free from animal ingredients, mineral oil, silicone oil and synthetic pigments, this dynamic duo of the Micro Deep Cleansing Oil and Foam removes up to 98.8% of impurities from within the skin, leaving you with a fresh, clear complexion as radiant as the delicate Lotus flower petal.

Formulated with micro cleansing particles made from soft natural konjac, the Lotus Micro Deep Cleansing Foam’s compact and bouncy micro bubbles reaches deep into pores to remove impurities and fine dusts without stripping the skin of its moisture barrier, resulting in reduced blackheads and a clear and bright complexion. Your skin feels moisturised and refreshed after a wash.

The Lotus Micro Deep Cleansing Oil on the other hand offers a refreshing deep cleansing experience and it is made ideal to remove heavy makeup on the face as well as the eye area due to the mild cleansing formula. It contains natural plant derived oils that gently but effectively removes impurities from the skin.

To achieve bright and clean complexion, ensure that your skin is thoroughly cleansed by practicing Mamonde’s double step cleansing.

Step 1 - Cleanse makeup on the face and eye area with the Micro Deep Cleansing Oil by dispensing a small amount on your palm and gently massage the face to melt away makeup and impurities. Then wash off with water.

Step 2 - Squeeze a small amount of Micro Deep Cleansing Foam on your palm and lather it with water to produce foam and then gently massage it all over the face. Finish off by cleansing your face with water and you’ll notice significant improvement in your complexion.

Repeat steps everyday to achieve bright and clear complexion.

The Mamonde Micro Deep Cleansing Foam(175ML) retails for RM59 and the Mamonde Micro Deep Cleansing Oil(200ML) retails for RM109. Both products can be purchased through the Mamonde Beauty Counters at Aeon 1 Utama, PJ, Aeon Mid Valley Megamall KL, Aeon Bukit Indah JB and Aeon Tebrau City JB and selected Watsons stores nationwide. They are also available on Hermo.my and Lazada.com.my.
