2015 Favorites


Thursday, December 31, 2015


2015 is ending...
It is the time for me to share my favorite products of the year again...
Some of the products were in my 2014 favorites...
Continue reading to find out which products from 2014 are still my favorites this year!


1. Skinfood Black Sugar Mask


This is simply amazing! I love it! This is the first product from this brand that did not disappoint me. It did not dry out my skin and left it softer and smoother. My pores were a little smaller and there were less blackheads upon first usage. Even though I love this, the scent is not my cup of tea.



2. Annie's Way Arbutin and Hyaluronic Acid Brightening Jelly Mask


This was in my 2014 Favorites! I love these jelly masks and my favorite one is definitely the Arbutin and Hyaluronic Acid Brightening Jelly Mask! It provides great hydration and brightening effect. It helps in reducing the blackheads as well. I love that the scent is very light. I love this dearly but it is quite difficult to wash off and very time consuming...



3. Elizavecca Green Piggy Collagen Jella Pack


I love this because the texture is super fun! That is not the only reason of course! It provides awesome hydration for my super dry skin! This is the savior to my dry, flaky skin! What else can I say? AWESOME! Beware as the scent is quite strong.



4. Naturie Hatomugi Skin Conditioner


This was also one of the products in my 2014 favorites! This is one of the best and most affordable toners I had tried so far! It provides great hydration and my skin loves this! The best part is that it is not sticky at all! It feels light and refreshing and I use this as a toner mask every day... well... when I have the extra time and when I am not lazy... My skin condition improves because of this... Thanks to this toner, my skin is softer, smoother and feels amazing!



5. Secret Key Starting Treatment Essence


This is one of my favorite product this year. I think it is an average product but once I finished this and moved on to another essence, my skin broke out. I think my skin needs this... lol. I use this as a booster and it works great for my skin. It provides excellent hydration to my skin. My skin condition improved after six to eight weeks. It is more elastic, brighter, softer and smoother. This is great as a pimple treatment as well. I soaked the essence on a cotton pad and placed it on the pimples. In one or two days time, the pimples were gone! I love this to the moon and back but it is a little sticky and the scent is terrible!



6. Naruko Raw Job's Tears Supercritical CO2 Pore Minimizing & Brightening Essence

This is from one of my favorite brand! After using this essence for two months, I notice that the pores were smaller and the blackheads were under control. The brightening effect is not obvious at all! It provides decent hydration and I love the light fresh barley scent (with a hint of alcohol). It is a little sticky upon application but absorbs into the skin instantly.


7. Konjac Sponge


This is the best cleansing tool I have at the moment... lol. 
It is the bomb!
My skin feels extra clean when I use this. It does not dry out my skin at all!
This is great simply because the blackheads were totally under control and my pores appears to be smaller when I was using this magical sponge!
A lovely sponge :)



8. Shiseido Fino Premium Touch Hair Mask


This is the first hair mask I tried (in my entire life) so I have nothing to compare this with. I simply adore this because it makes my hair super soft and smooth. It is not oily and somehow it reduces the tangles in my hair... My hair is a little more manageable with this awesome mask in my bathroom!



9. Smelly-No-More Natural Crystal Roll On Deodorant Stick

This is one of the product that I cannot live without! Well, I had to make sure that the body odor is under control - when I sweat. I need to use this every day. It is affordable and has no scent to it. This is simply amazing for people like me...



10. Macqueen New York Mineral CC Cushion Cover Plus


The first makeup product in my favorites - a cushion foundation! I like the packaging. White and sleek. It has a very light scent, good coverage, contains SPF and best of all, it does not dry out my skin. This makes my skin looks better and smoother than it actually is. lol. My skin looks almost flawless in pictures when I am using this :)
This is a wonderful cushion foundation for me.
It is a little difficult to get the foundation out at first...but it is totally worth it!

That is all the products for 2015 favorites!
Hope you guys enjoy this!
Last of all, Happy New Year!

Top 10 sheet masks under RM5!

Sunday, December 27, 2015

Hello friends!
It's been a while since my last post...

Today I am going to share with you my 10 favorite sheet masks which are all very affordable!
I bought most of the sheet masks from Hong Kong and Taiwan
I highly recommend the sheet masks listed below and will definitely repurchase these when my stash is low!

If your friends or family are going to Taiwan or Hong Kong, do check out these masks...
It is extremely difficult to narrow down my favorite sheet masks because I tried out so many brands (and different ranges in the brands) since 2013!

Let's jump right in!
I will start with the cheapest sheet masks first!

1. My Scheming Camellia Japonica Hydrating Mask




Price: RM 1.98 per piece

It makes my skin softer and smoother, provides great hydration and there is no stickiness.
No allergic reaction of any sort and my skin loves this!



2. My Scheming Grape Seed Instant Brightening Mask



Price: RM 1.98 per piece
Available: iQueen

It makes my skin softer and smoother, provides decent hydration and no stickiness.
It has a light scent that reminds me of the purple vitagen... lol
Brightening effect is not obvious but it is OK for me :)



3. NRK Collagen Booster Firming Mask



Price: RM 2.95 per piece
Available: naruko website

It makes my skin softer, smoother, bouncier and provides decent hydration
It was not sticky.
The scent is not my cup of tea but still bearable.
This mask did not lighten my skin in any way but my major concern is hydration :)

Price: RM 2.2 per piece
Available: iQueen

I love the packaging and somehow I love this brand...
The sheet mask fits my face pretty well

I did not really enjoy the scent.

Price: RM 2.2 per piece
Available: iQueen

I love the packaging and brand!
It makes my skin softer and smoother, provides great hydration and no stickiness

2014 Favourites

Wednesday, December 31, 2014

Since today is the last day of 2014, I will end this day with a post of my favourite skincare products
I picked 15 skincare products that I love this year!

Let's get started :)

The products are not in any particular orders


1. Naturie Hatomugi Skin Conditioner

This toner is the cheapest one I had tried! RM29 for 500ml and this is available at Sasa! I love this because my skin drinks it up really fast and it is not sticky. It provides great hydration and makes my skin softer, smoother and bouncier. I also use this on my sheet mask tablets. It fits in the cap nicely so I can pour the toner in and apply the mask for 5-10 minutes whenever I feel like it... It feels extremely light and refreshing on my skin. Love this so much!

***


2. Ceutical Plus Aqua-Collagen Hydration Toner 


This toner has a light scent. I love it because it is not sticky, makes my skin smoother, more elastic and provides great hydration for my dry skin. The only thing I did not like was the packaging (cheap plastic)... lol

***


3. Mamonde 7 days project sheet mask (pore care) 


This is just awesome! Reduces the pore size and blackheads around my nose and cheek areas! It provides hydration and makes my skin softer and smoother! This works like magic but may not be suitable for everyone. A product worth trying... However, it left my face oily and heavy after removing the mask... I can overlook that as it is difficult to find a product that works magic on my pores and blackheads... Amazing!

***


4. Timeless Truth Snail Extract with Sakura Repairing Mask

I bought this because I saw a lot of great reviews on Timeless Truth sheet masks. I did not expect anything great but this is amazing! Extremely amazing!! I hate sticky products and most sheet masks I tried were sticky! This is not sticky at all! The scent is also super light! It makes my skin super soft, smooth and moisturized... The essence absorbs into my skin quite fast as well. For the next few days, my skin remains hydrated, soft and smooth. The skincare products I layer on absorbs faster as well... I will definitely restock these and try the other range from this series!

***


5. Dermal Syn-ake Collagen Essence Mask

I bought this because it was super cheap. USD 4.49 for 10 sheets. I did not expect anything much to be honest... I did not really like the scent. The result was not bad actually. It is not sticky which is always something I am very concerned about. It provides decent hydration and makes my skin smoother and firmer. Since it is cheap, I can use it more frequently :)

***


6. BeautyMate Refining Smooth Nano Mask


This is the first sheet mask I tried from this brand. It has a light scent and makes my skin brighter, smoother and moisturized. I love this because the effect is quite obvious... I had already repurchased this a few times...

***


7. Elizavecca Milky Piggy Elastic Pore Cleansing Foam

This is my favorite cleanser! My skin feels squeaky clean after cleansing but it does not dry out my  skin. It also reduce the appearance of big pores and after using this for over a month, the blackheads were less visible. I am totally in love with this cleanser!

***


8. Divinia Ultra Light Watery UV Lotion

This has replaced my favourite sunblock, Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence Water Base!
It is extremely light on my skin and it is not oily! It is super easy to spread and I just love the texture!
It also provides hydration to my skin. This is just great!

***


9. The Saem Jeju Fresh Aloe Soothing Gel

I use this as my moisturizer. I don't really fancy aloe scent but it is light on skin. It is very easy to spread and absorbs quickly. I started using this when my skin broke out and it helps to soothe and calm my angry and irritated skin. Since it works, I continued using it and grew to love it :)

***


10. Kao Steam Eye Mask (Rose)

I tried this once and love it! I can sleep very well when I use this. I love the rose scent and it makes me fall asleep very fast. So whenever I feel like I can't sleep, I will use this :) I tried chamomile and lavender scent as well but did not really like those. I am not sure if it did anything to my eyes but these makes me feel very at ease so I can just sleep almost immediately! No more insomnia!

***


11. BeautyMate Collagen Smooth Nano Eye Mask (review here)/BeautyMate Bright Up Nano Eye Mask (review here)


My favourite eye masks of all time... Light scent, affordable and does what it claims... 
Fine lines were less visible (temporary) and dark circles were less obvious 
So far I have not found any eye masks to replace these yet...

***


12. Annie's Way Jelly Masks


My favourite jelly masks! I have mentioned this in a few posts already and did a few full reviews previously. I love these because they provides great hydration, brighten, whiten, soothe and moisturize my skin. The effect is really obvious after washing off the jelly masks. The one thing I hate is that it is an extreme pain to wash them off... 

Full reviews on the jelly masks below:-

13. Cure Natural Aqua Gel 


This is the best exfoliator for me (so far).
This will always be my favourite until I can find a better one because it is so gentle!
After I use this, my skin becomes softer, smoother and brighter

***


14. Indeed Laboratories Hydraluron 


This is the first and (so far) the best serum I had tried.
I love this :)
It hydrates my skin, makes it smoother and more elastic.

***


15. Naruko Raw Job's Tears Supercritical CO2 Brightening Night Gelly


The best sleeping mask ever! I love the scent... It is not sticky and provides decent hydration for my dry skin... It makes my skin fairer, brighter and smoother after a few months...
