INNISFREE Jeju Volcanic Pore Scrub Foam

Salam and hello everyone! I've been 'hiding' from my blog for the past 11 days. There are just so many things to think and to do lately. And here I am, sitting in my room and blogging. Today I want to share with you guys about this cool thing from Innisfree, which is Jeju Volcanic Pore Scrub Foam.


I went to Innisfree and tryna find something that can help remove the whiteheads and blackheads and at the same time reduce the size of my ugly and visible pores. A scrub foam with Jeju volcanic scoria to purify pores and exfoliate dead skin cells. 
Jeju volcanic scrub foam helps to remove dirt from inside the pores and dead skin cells with volcanic clusters.

1. This scrub foam effectively removes the dirt and dead skin cells in the pore with 1-2 uses a week. 
2. Jeju volcanic cluster with strong sebum absorption 
This precious nature oriented Jeju volcanic clusters are stronger than technology and red clay in skin clearing from the pores.

I am actually interested with the word 'volcanic' because it sounds powerful and worthy and the most importamt is, it sounds convincing. So I thought why don't I just give it a try.


No special packaging for the scrub foam, but it is protected with a plastic wrapped around it.

The texture is thick. Which I loveee so much!

Wash away pore-clogging impurities with Jeju Volcanic Scoria! 
Volcanic Scoria is a pure and fairly rare ingredient formed as lava cools after a volcanic eruption. 
It has the powerful capacity to absorb sebum and wash away impurities whilst purifying and moisturizing skin leaving it cleaner and healthier looking, without drying it out.


Before : Kind of shiny and greasy skin, visible and open pores, clogged pores, uneven skin texture
After : Not shiny anymore, still visible pores but the size is much smaller, unclogged pores, even out my skin texture

So I tried it. The before picture is just really yuck. If you look closer, you can see there are some black thingy on my pores. And I have no idea where are they actually came from. 
Guys, I can say that I love the outcome even I still see my pores. The opened pores are kind of close a bit. BUT, the pores are clean after I used it. My skin feels smoother. It leaves my skin feeling fresh and smooth. No dramatic minimizing pores but can tell the difference. The oil and shiny face is gone. Yeay for that!

I can say that this is a gentle scrub which is suitable for any skin type. It is not rough. It didn't leave your skin feeling 'tight' and dry like some other scrubs in stores. But it didn't really do the exfoliates working :( The word 'volcanic' might scares some of you, but worry not. It didn't have any strange smell. It smells just comfortable. This scrub is really relaxing and light on skin. I didn't mind using it everyday. 

I usually wear this after using a lot of makeups, so when I got back home, I want to clean my face, I will use my makeup remover first and then I will scrub my face out. Let me tell you guys, even you have used your remover, believe me, there will always be some makeup leftover on your skin especially those product that promotes pore erasing kind of thing. So with this help, you will get your fresh and beautiful skin afterward! So, go grab it guys.

The price is just okay and reasonable. RM 38 for 150ml is actually good enough for what it can do to your face.

INNISFREE @ Sunway Pyramid, Malaysia

Welcome to the new comer of Korean based cosmetics/skin care brand to Malaysia. Innisfree’s first store in Malaysia is located at Sunway Pyramid. It has opened its door on 5th Dec last year and limited edition eco friendly goodie bag have been designed specifically for those 500 first customers. Unfortunately, I am not one of the first 500 customers. Sobs :(


Innisfree is a Korean brand and they are launched in 2000 in Korea. Wow ok that was a loooooong 15 years ago. During 2008, they started to open outlet in mall. And in 2010, during their 10th anniversary, they launched Eco-Handkerchief campaign. In 2012, they opened their first international shop in China.

So it is already March now and they are doing all well. What is innisfree anyway? Innisfree, the pure island where clean nature and healthy beauty coexist in harmony. Innisfree is a natural brand that shares the benefits of nature from the pristine island of Jeju allowing for vibrant beauty and pursues an eco-friendly green life to preserve the balance of nature. What I can conclude is, they are all about supporting recycle campaign, produce eco friendly product and uses natural ingredients. Greeny.




Honestly I am really happy to have another Asian and eco brand opened in Malaysia. I want to try more Asian skin care brand because I believe it is more suitable for Asian skin than those Europe brand. I am going to be Innisfree regular customer after this hehehe and you know Lee Min Ho is their ambassador so I have another strong reason for it *wink*


The interior. How I love love love the concept. Simple and still portrays their origin.




They also sell cosmetics and beauty tools.


This is product is perfect for anti aging. The Jeju orchid is packed with antioxidants providing your skin with neutralizing agents that reverse the damage caused by sun, pollution and other free radicals. It is a powerful anti-aging cream that visibly reduces the signs of wrinkles, firms and retexturizes the surface of the skin giving it a brighter, more nourished glow.

Pancake House International @ IOI City Mall

My love for pancake has gone crazy right before I started my degree. I've been craving for pancake and waffle for a couple of month. But, I couldn't fulfill it because I don't have any teman to go with. My adik dah start sekolah. My abang, not really in a good condition right now. So I have to go with someone else tsk tsk :(

So we went to IOI City Mall which located at Putrajaya. The one yang really big and new building sebelah highway tu. Like usual la, bila dah jalan jalan and then lapar and then tak tahu nak makan apa. Nak makan tapi macam kenyang, kalau tak eat nanti lapar pulak. (who have this kind of problem bila dalam mall? Raise your hand! Hahaha) So, I decided to avoid something heavy because I wasn't in mood to swallow any rice or noodles or spaghetti or chicken.

After pening pening nak decide which place to eat, turun je escalator ternampak this restaurant dekat hujung sekali. And the word 'pancake' itself excites me. Yes finally! Pancake yeayyyyyy! *Jump jump*
This restaurant located at the middle section of the mall. If I am not mistaken, it is just under the cinema. (Lupa la) Hahaha.

Pancake Cookies N' Cream RM 15.90

This 3 layer pancake is actually a chocolate flavor. The size is kind of similar to your size of palm. Maybe smaller a bit or bigger a bit. The topping is vanilla ice cream and some crushed chocolate biscuit with some chocolate sauce. This is yumzy. The one that you should really order if you dine here. The texture is fluffy, soft and it is not dry. I have no problem cutting it and chew it. The pancake is served hot and when you eat it with an ice cream, it gives you kick in your mouth and wanting more to chew. The pancake is well done and it is thick. Love it! 
But I was quite sad because I expect the chocolate sauce would be drizzled a lot all over it. And if you request to add more chocolate sauce, they will charge you for RM 2.
I honestly think this dish is quite pricy because of the size and the side ingredients. They only provides a scoop of ice cream, some sauce and a biscuit.

Chocolate Marble Waffle RM11.90

This waffle is enjoyable to me. The presentation is excellent! I am impressed by the decoration and by far this is the most elegent piece of waffle. It sparks my interest. It is a golden waffle enriched with chocolate syrup and peanut butter. The size is big but it is thin. I thought it would be thick like the pancake but it is okay. What I love about this pancake is, it is sort of crunchy to me. But it is still chewable and soft. Bila potong, the waffle tak 'pecah' and bersepah even nipis. I eat this after the pancake and it was turning cold, and waffle ni tak jadi liat or keras. Done well! It is light but it gives you a lot of flavor. They provides honey in the small pot. A few chunks of walnut on top. A spoon of peanut butter. With a mysterious cream. Haha ok I wasn't sure what cream is that, it kind of greasy, kinda taste like butter. I don't know guys :( 

Halo Halo RM 9.90

This is the desserts that we ordered. The price is worth it. Contains of shaved ice with milk, sweet corn kernels, yellow sweet potato, sweetened banana, fresh jackfruit strips and topped with homemade custard. Yada yada yada, this desserts is the bomb dot com. At first, I was being ''eeeee sedap ke ni? Ada buah bagai, takde coklat langsung jeez lame gila.'' Lepastu I cuba rasa, and thennnnnn guys please, three words. Fruity, fresh, flavorful. Sedap gilaaaaa. Kalau korang datang sini please order. Highly recommend for those fruit sucker, ice sucker and lemak taste sucker. 


This is the entrance, you will see this first when you stepped inside. Cheerful vibes.

The interior.
A homey and cozy feeling.
