Simple Skin Care with Dr. Natta: Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera Toner

First, I would like to thanks for The Butterfly Project- Beauty Bloggers and Natta Cosme for giving me a chance to review this awesome Thayers toner.

15^th October 2013

Parcel of Natta Cosme arrived at my doorstep. It is not a simple parcel as inside has lots of surprise with the creativity of Natta Cosme team in presenting the beauty products.

Before unboxing, I thought that inside of the box would be Thayers toner and brochure/voucher. When unboxing, I just realize that Natta Cosme has including other samples size products that usually use at skin care besides Thayers toner.

Now, let us discover the simple skin care products that suggested by Dr. Natta with some surprise.

First, before doing any treatment, I was giving a capsule to “read” but not to eat for live better. I need to open the capsule and answer the question. Do you feel that this was similar with Fortune Cookie?

Q: Cotton pads are commonly used to apply toner for better absorption? What do you think?

My answer: Definitely yes as using cotton pad, it will make me easily to apply toner on my face for better absorption.

After hearing my answer, Dr. Natta had suggested using Lily Bell Lilian Puff when apply toner. This puff has 100% cotton which made using superior cotton that is noticeably softer.

222pcs/pack @ RM 9.90

I found out that this puff is not easily to get shape and fuzzier after using it compares with the cotton pad that I currently using which you can see the different from the picture as below:

After choosing for a good cotton pad, Dr. Natta had recommended me to try for Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera Toner as this toner has made of extract from the Witch Hazel Shrub and a blend of other time-tested ingredients which is an alcohol-free that is cleanse, tone and soothe skin. 

Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera Toner 355ml
@ RM 55.00 RM 45.00 <Purchase Link>

This toner has left a mild rose scent after apply it on my face. This toner has Aloe Vera extract that act as moisturizing so I will not need to worry that my face will become dry after apply it as cleaning purpose. This toner comes in a big bottle and the price is reasonable so I will buy it after I have finished it.

Dr. Natta really is a question doctor as likes to ask questions so below is the questions that need to answer by me after trying for the toner.

Q: What is your choice of product after applying toner?

a) Moisturizer  b) Cream  c) Oil   d) EMC

My answer: Moisturizer

After listen for my answer, Dr. Natta had reveal to me "The Ancient Egyptians’ Secret" which is Egyptian Magic Cream (EMC) that is an all-natural, multi-purpose cream that benefits the entire family and pets too. It acts as a daily maintenance for natural skin care from head to toes. 

How to use:

1. Rub a moderate amount in your palms until it takes the form of oil

2. Apply it gently over your skin

Egyptian Magic Cream
3ml @ RM 5.00
59ml @ RM 125.00 RM89.90
118ml @ RM 180.00 RM125.00

This cream is very greasy if apply too much on face so I recommend to apply a little of cream on face and reapply it if you find out that it is not enough. The next day after apply it, I found that my face is moisturizing.

That’s all for the skin care routine and products that recommended by Dr. Natta. It’s time for you to pamper your skin at

My Mireica Story

On September, I was so happy to participate in ‘What’s Your Mireica Story’ Campaign that each of us giving a chance to try out beauty drinks, Mireica nutria-peau for a month.

What is Mireica nutria-peau?

Mireica nutria-peau (nutria-peau mean skin nutrition in French) is the world’s first supplement that helps revitalize skin stem cells to promote skin rejuvenation. 

How to drink Mireica?

Mireica is best taken daily on an empty stomach (so your body can absorb as much nutrients that’s in Mireica). Drink it at first in the morning or just before bedtime.

Picture by Betsy Yeo

1. Get ready a glass of cold water/juice and Mireica

2. Empty the sachet content into glass

3. Add in cold water/juice

4. Stir till effervescent powder is dissolved

5. Drink immediately

For my first try of Mireica, I had chosen to drink with room temperature water as during that time, I was having my menstrual period (For me, I will not drink any cold water during menstrual period as it's not good for health). The taste of Mireica with room temperature water was not taste good as I was not get used with the taste.

After finished with menstrual period, I try to drink Mireica with cold water and it tastes yummy with berry flavor but I am not fully drinking with cold water but mix with some room temperature water. The pro-rate for my Mireica drink is 2/3 room temperature water with 1/3 cold water plus one sachet of Mireica as it is not good to drink cold water every day.

Note: It is best taken with cold water as it tastes good with cold water. If you feel that the taste is still strong, do take it with any fruit juices.

After drinking Mireica drinks for a month, I found out that my redness of acne had been getting lesser but still has some redness on my face. It looks getting better and even my dad also said that my face become smoother. It is good for me to continue drinking Mireica as my face will have more improvement in future but due to the price of a box of Mireica is quite expensive so I will try on other beauty drinks first before decide whether want to purchase Mireica in future.

Note: The price of Mireica nutria-peau 30 sachets is RM 178.00.
