Sunscreen for Sports | Sunplay

If you guys have been following my update on Facebook, I'm sure all of you know that I've stopped my fitness journey since I started to work as a permanent. With no choice, I have to attend to work early at 10.15am and be home late around 9pm. 
Seriously, I don't have much time commit to fitness anymore. Which I guess it's just an excuse for myself in quitting this. After all, I tried to make up my mind again, at least workout a bit on weekend.
Proudly, I did and I'm glad to have my best companion that keeps me protected from the sun - Sunplay Sport UV Lotion and Sunplay Sport UV Body Mist.
I used to travel locally all the time and I'm sure everyone of us knows the climate in Malaysia well for being hot and humid. I used to bring both Sunplay Lotion and Body Mist with me because they are just the right thing for us! 

Formulated with the Wet Skin Technology, the Sunplay Sport UV range instantly provides us with maximum sun protection even when we are in most intense activities. They are uniquely designed for being water-resistance and sweat -resistance up to 4 hours. 

The Sunplay Sport UV range is also designed with the Solarex-3 Techonology, providing a 3-in-1 defense system that protects our skin against sun damage while hydrating the skin at all times. 


Sunplay Sport UV Body Mist SPF 120
Sunplay Sport UV Body Mist
Sunplay Sport UV Body Mist SPF120 PA++++comes in mist form that instantly absorbs into the skin which can be applied conveniently anytime, leaving the skin feeling cool and refreshed.

This is my very first time come across a mist type of sun block and I am really impressed! During the application, I feel my skin was soothe and cooling. It is so lightweight and comes in a quick dry formula that it absorbs into my skin swiftly within seconds, leaving zero-greasiness or stickiness on my skin. I really love the overall feeling of the mist attach on my skin, that it's totally like nothing applied on my skin, not a barrier or any layering, but totally like another breathable skin layer.

It can be applied on both body and face, either wet or dry skin. Hold 6 - 8 inches away from the skin and spray evenly. Not to spray directly on the face, but spray on palm and gently apply on the face.


Sunplay Sport UV Lotion SPF 120

Sunplay Sport UV Lotion
I used to apply the sport lotion on my face as it doesn't whiten my skin like how the usual sunscreen will do, which I really hate about. Surprisingly, it penetrates into my skin super fast, leaving no greasiness or stickiness on my face. With the lightweight texture and quick dry formula, it prevents the product dripping off on wet skin. 
No more worries if you gonna be super sweaty during workout or even travelling to super hot climate's country. Sunplay Sport UV range will definitely back you up!

KOSE Lip Gel Magic

I am finally back with a product review after so long! 
Recently, I have come across a magical cosmetic product and I just can't wait to share with all of you. I am sure everyone of us, especially girls used to apply lipstick daily, with or without makeup, applying lipstick just add a little color on the face! It helps us to look fresh and less pale. 

Wait!!!
Have you girls come across an awkward situation where the lipstick stains all over your food, tea cup or even clothes??
Here come the KOSE Lip Gel Magic to save us from such awkward situation!
KOSE Lip Gel Magic is known as the most powerful lipstick coating gel.

Benefits:
With only one single swipe, it helps:

  • creating a top coat gel that helps protecting our lipstick from fading off 
  • locking the lipstick on lips so that it lasts longer
  • moisturizing our lips and gives our lips a glossy finish
KOSE Lip Gel Magic
Packaging:
It comes in handy palm tube size, which is just perfect to tuck in our hand bag. The design on the packaging is pretty simple, yet clearly shows its function on lipstick via the reflection of light. Seems like a reflective coat on the lipstick.

Magic Ingredients:

  • Fluorine Coating Powder - Create a gel layer that helps preventing lipstick from migrating onto other surfaces.
  • Squalane and Hyaluronic Acid - Moisture the lips, leaving it kissably-soft
  • Super Lasting Ingredients - Prevent lipstick from smearing and smudging

Texture & Scent:
It comes in a semi-opaque gel texture, without any special scent (Fragrance free)




Direction to use
Step 1: Apply any stick-type lipstick on your lips, like usual.
Step 2: Be sure to shake the magic tube with the cap on, ensuring the gel turns semi-transparent.
Step 3: Pump a tiny amount of gel on the finger tip and swipe it over  your lips.




Result
Obviously, the lip gel magic creates a film-like layer on the lips without drying up the lips. My lipstick turns glossy!
I have did a tiny test on the Lip Gel and the results are surprisingly significant!
It is super duber transfer-proof, leaving no mark or stain behind!

*Tiny tips:
Do not rub your lips together repeatedly or even touching them with fingers.
I really love how the Lip Gel works magically on my lips. It really does a good job in making our lipstick transfer-proof. Meanwhile, it moisturizes my lips and keeping my lipstick long lasting. 

One bad side about the Lip Gel, it's kinda troublesome to apply both lipstick and lip gel on another layer. It is not a good choice if you're in a rush. Yet, it comes in a perfect size that you can carry it and apply it anytime anywhere with just a mirror in hand.

Pantai Klebang, Melacca #BFFgoals

Finally, it's another remarkable trip that marked one of the #BFFgoals with my girl friend, Chency after our last trip to the Capsules few months back! This time, we went to the reknown desert in Melacca! It was claimed as the first desert in Malaysia and named after Pantai Klebang, as Padang Pasir Klebang.

I have to tell that, it's a whole new experience and something really different when you get to travel with your best friend, where both of you sharing the mutual interest and passion. Yeah, not every friendship begins in such easy way, they may not last either. Chency and I started our enemy-ship back in secondary school, hell yeah! We even shouted at each other publicly on social media platform. Now, we are friends for years, we blog together, film video together and we travel together!
Padang Pasir Klebang
So, back to the trip, it was something real quick and short, because I just wanna share the whole experience with you guys and wanted to get my memories recorded down in here!

Why not? It's something memorable and you are travelling with your best friend!
Just to make things clear, we both gave priority to photo shooting while travel LOL.
Depart at 8.30am in the morning from Kepong, it took us about 3 hours to reach Pantai Klebang, with the companion of heavy rain. Luckily, there wasn't any rain happening in Melacca, else the whole trip would be a total fail LOL
It was about 11.30am and we have to walked around 15 minutes to the deserted area after parking our car at the road side. It was so darn hot. OMG. Imagine that this wasn't the real desert yet.
Chency and I were discussing about the famous drama 'Journey to the West' where there's a scene that XuanZhang and his disciples making their way to the desert and volcano area. I meant how torturing to walk under the hot weather, high temperature, like walking on the heaty pot. OMO Getting sun burnt too :( 
Please be sure to put on tons of the sun screen on every single part on your body. 
Pantai Klebang
How amazing that, there was a sort of lake in the 'desert'?  Like a mirage LOL But it definitely adds a little color to the overall pale area, with some bright blue spot at the center, beside the blue sky and occean.

..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Here are some quick Q&A session that I bet everyone of you will be asking.

How to get there?
Actually it isn't hard to look for the 'desert' at Pantai Klebang, where you just have to waze [Pantai Klebang Melacca] and it will lead you right down to Klebang beach. The desert is just right beside the beach.

Where to Park?
With no choice, but you have to park your car near the grassy lane or beside the road, as you are not permitted to drive in.

How long should you walk?
Around 10-15 minutes to reach the desert hill.

What is the best time to visit?
Early in the morning, around 8am to 10am. Suggested to visit in cloudy day else you gonna injured from sun burn.
Evening, around 4.30pm to 6pm. There isn't any road lighting in the deserted area and it will completely dark when the sun sets.

What to bring?
Umbrella, Water, Hair Tie and Sunblock (for girls), Food (if you gonna stay long for shoot)

Any entrance fee?
No. It's absolutely free.

What to wear?
Whatever you like but please be reminded to gear in your comfy sport shoes, as you gonna walk a mile on the road that filled with stones and then dunes. Anyhow, your shoes will be filled with sand.

..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Beside the deserted area, there's a so called photogenic place that work best for photo shoot, a view with overgrown thatch and grass that looks exactly like the Korean-ish pictures on Instagram.
Imitating the Korean LOL
It took us about 3 hours to get the photo shoot session done LOL. Then we headed down to the town for some food and of course we would never miss that street shoot again haha!
BFF Goals
That's all about our one day trip. Definitely remarkable but then it makes me pause for my thought of travelling to the real desert LOL
Can I bear with the hot weather? As well as getting tan skin?

Btw, both of us were in our favorite bags, shades and watches from Bonia. You may shop all of them at www.bonia.com by coding my name [AMELIEYAP] to get 10% off!
