Saturday, August 27, 2016





~BRAND~
Annie's Way

~NAME~
Snail Repairing Jelly Mask

~PRICE~
RM 99 (hermo)

~CAPACITY~
250g


It's been a while since I last pampered my skin with jelly masks by Annie's Way!
To be honest, Annie's Way is one of my favorite brand.
The very first post I did when I started this blog was on the famous Annie's Way Arbutin and Hyaluronic Acid Brightening Jelly Mask (review here)

I tried out different varieties of jelly masks from Annie's Way as well as from some other brands such as Coni Beauty and Hanaka
The black jelly masks from Coni Beauty and Hanaka are good but I still prefer Annie's Way.


I personally believe that the effect from Annie's Way is better but it is also one of the most expensive one




Description
Snail essence has excellent repair function, can nourish and long lasting moisture your skin. Suitable for dry and normal skin.


Directions
1. After cleansing and toning face, spread a generous layer (about 0.3-0.5 cm thick) on face
2. Leave the mask on face for 30-40 minutes
3. Scrape off with spatula
4.Tissue off the excess jelly mask and rinse with water
5. Use twice a week


Ingredients
Dist Water, Corbopol, Butylene Glycol, Hyaluronic Acid, Xeradin 24, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Soy Extract, Snail Secretion Extract, D-Panthenol, Licorice Eco, Methylisothiazolinone, Iodopropyl Butylcarbamate




My thoughts
I am looking forward to use this!


~PACKAGING~
Very simple tub packaging.
Less hygienic as the jelly masks are exposed to dust/dirt when opened




~SCENT~
The scent is very strong for me...
It has a strong perfume scent and it reminds me of the Lemon Aiyu (Chatime) I had the day before... Very SOUR!




~TEXTURE~
Clear jelly like texture...
It is easy to spread




~PRODUCT~
I miss Annie's Way jelly mask! It feels soothing and light on my skin. Halfway through the session I did feel a slight tingling sensation for a few seconds. It did not feel extremely uncomfortable so I did not wash it off until the session is over. I left it on for 35 minutes. I noticed that my skin is softer, smoother and brighter. It provides decent hydration but somehow it is not enough for my extremely dry skin. It is easier to remove blackheads and whiteheads after using the jelly mask. I think the pores on my nose were a little smaller but those around my cheeks remained the same. The result with one usage is good for me. I did notice that this is easier to wash off as compared to Coni Beauty Black Jelly Mask. I will definitely continue using this! I tried using this when my skin was irritated and when the pimples were out of control. It did not irritate my skin in any way but it did not soothe my skin either... I did notice that the pores were smaller and blackheads were also less visible after using for the second time!




Pros
Makes skin softer, smoother and brighter
Easier to remove whiteheads and blackheads
No allergic reaction
Easy to spread
Provides decent hydration



Cons
Difficult to wash off
Strong scent
Not hygienic as product is in a tub



Repurchase?
I will definitely repurchase this if I have the budget... lol

Product Empties #5


Sunday, August 21, 2016




It's been a while since my last empties post!
Here is another one!





1. Acuvue Contact Lenses

I have been using this brand for the longest time.
I rarely switch brands
I love wearing contact lenses so I will definitely repurchase these.
Repurchase: Definitely
Recommendation: I think you all know this la... hehe



***





2. Cosfarm Marine Hydrate Ampoule

It has a very light scent that reminds me of the sea... lol
It feels almost like water
It is a little sticky upon application but it sinks into the skin quickly hence stickiness is minimal.
I actually enjoyed this BUT somehow it is not suitable for me
My skin was breaking out from this...
Sometimes, after using this my skin is red and itchy but because I was not sure I continued using it.
After a while I noticed quite a number of small pimples...
It was obvious under sunlight but I finished it... lol

Repurchase: No way
Recommendation: This is worth a try as skincare products works differently for everyone



3. Juju Aquamoist Hyaluronic Acid Essence

I love this!
It feels light, it is not sticky and sinks into my skin immediately
It makes my skin softer, smoother and provides great hydration.
This is simply amazing!

Repurchase: Yes
Recommendation: I highly recommend this 
***





4. L'oreal  Gentle Lip and Eye Make-Up Remover

It has a very light scent and it taste salty.
Haha
I usually accidentally taste makeup removers. lol
Sometimes it was not an accident.
This is the most gentle lip and eye make-up remover ever.
Well, I love it!
It removes my makeup pretty well.
I am not sure about waterproof makeup because I do not own any.
It works great and it is affordable!

Repurchase: Yes, but I might want to try different brands
Recommendation: I highly recommends this for those with sensitive eyes~



5. Banila Co Clean It Zero Radiance 
(The product was in the Skinfood tub because I shared with little sis)
I love this except for the scent.
It has a strong perfume scent that is overwhelming for my nose.
It is easy to spread and this is super gentle. I can use this for my whole face!
Yes! Whole Face! Including my eyes and lip.
If it gets into the eyes, it will be cloudy.
Oh, the taste is a little bitter which is almost not noticeable.
Well, I tasted it!
Great makeup remover as a whole.

Repurchase: Yes, but other versions
Recommendation: I highly recommend this 
***





6. Petitfee Gold & EGF Eye Patch

It has a strong perfume scent similar to the other Petitfee eye patches!
One of my favorite versions from this brand because this one never irritates my eyes.
Provides decent hydration and soothes tired eye.
This is pretty inexpensive.

Repurchase: I already repurchased this!
Recommendation: I think this is worth a try



7. Nature Republic Original Power Wrinkle Eye Cream
It has a light scent.
It does not feel sticky, oily or heavy.
It provides decent hydration but does nothing else.
This lasted me for about a year!

Repurchase: No
Recommendation: I recommend this to those in the early twenties
***





8. Arra Topface Aloe Vera Soothing Gel

Not my favorite aloe vera gel.
It has a strange chunky texture.
It is easy to spread and stickiness is minimal.
It did not irritate my skin in any way but I did not see any major improvement with this.

Repurchase: No
Recommendation: Well, there are better ones out there!



9. Hanaka Intensive Renewal Facial Mask
(The product was in the Hanaka Charcoal Pores Reduce Facial Mask tub because I shared with little sis as well)

Not my favorite jelly masks...
It is a decent product to be honest but I hate the scent!
The brightening effect is obvious but it is not hydrating enough.

Repurchase: Not really keen
Recommendation: Worth a try as it is more affordable as compared to Annie's Way




10. Naturie Hatomugi Skin Conditioner

This is my holy grail drugstore toner!
I love this stuff and it had been featured in several posts before this.
This is good stuff!

Repurchase: Definitely, this is my third bottle!
Recommendation: Highly recommend this!


That's all for this post!

 XOXO

Review: It's Skin Todak Todak Pack

Tuesday, August 16, 2016
~BRAND~
It's Skin

~NAME~
Todak Todak Pack

~PRICE~
HKD 54

~CAPACITY~
120ml




Description
Consist of 5 different concepts for beautiful skin
Main ingredients are grape and blueberry extract that make vitality and energetic skin





Directions
Apply adequate amount at the last step of your skin care routine
Wash off with warm water the next morning


Ingredients
My thoughts

~PACKAGING~
Simple tube packaging.





~SCENT~
It has a strong artificial grape scent.
I hate it!




~TEXTURE~
It has a gel to cream like consistency and it is slightly purple!


It is easy to spread




~PRODUCT~
It feels quite heavy on my skin. The sleeping pack took a long time to sink into the skin. I can feel that there is a layer of product on my skin. The stickiness lingered on my skin and worst of all it feels very oily (even for my extremely dry skin). I used it once and never touched it again. I cannot bear to let it sit on my face overnight. The oiliness and stickiness is unbearable. I will not use this ever again, not even on my body.






Pros
Easy to spread




Cons
Very sticky
Extremely oily
Heavy on skin
Strong scent



Repurchase?
No, thank you.



Recommendation?
Stay away from this at all cost!

Review: Prreti Nose Pore Strips (Green Tea)

Monday, August 8, 2016
~BRAND~
Prreti

~NAME~
Nose Pore Strips (Green Tea)

~PRICE~
RM 6.90

~CAPACITY~
3 pieces




Description


Directions


Ingredients


My thoughts

~PACKAGING~
Simple and plain





~SCENT~
No scent at all!




~TEXTURE~
Sticky paper strip...





~PRODUCT~
It is easy to follow the instructions. My blackheads were pretty much under control so I did not expect to see anything on the strip. I can see quite a few blackheads and quite a number of whiteheads on the strips. I think this is quite good. Personally I do not like nose strips but since this was a free sample, I tried it for fun.






Pros
Easy to use
Effective
Cons
Not my cup of tea



Repurchase?
No



Recommendation?
I do recommend this to those with major blackhead problems

~TEXTURE~
The mask is a little big and quite thin. It tears easily.





~PRODUCT~
The sheet mask fits my face pretty well except the mouth area. The essence is clear and very watery. It is a little sticky when massaging but once absorbed stickiness is minimal. It is very moisturizing for my dry skin. No allergic reaction at all! I love how hydrating this is! My flaky nose is no longer flaking! This is great... This is definitely one of my favorite hydrating mask! But... I find that after 20 minutes, the sheet mask is a little dry as compared to the other ones I tried before...






Pros
Light refreshing scent
Minimal stickiness
Moisturizing, makes skin firmer and smooth
Great hydration
No allergic reaction



Cons
Tears easily



Repurchase?
I will repurchase this when my sheet mask stash is running low
I just love this!
