MY RESCUE TEAM!

Good day everyone! Today I would like to introduce my rescue team! So what does a rescue team does? Well, to rescue my skin of course! LOL. There are times when your skin is being really angry and naughty. Pimples, dead skin cells, and very dehydrated skin.  They are very annoying I would say. 


The first product I realized that is good for pimples the KOSE Junkisui Refreshing Spot Serum.  But one thing I don't like about this product is the sponge tip. It's quite disgusting actually.  Pimples or acne "mature" faster after applying this and allow me to extract it out faster too. xD 


Ratings:
Functionality: 9/10
Packaging: 7/10
Travel-friendly: 10/10
Pricing: Reasonable. The ingredients are natural so it's quite pricey.


Next up is the The Face Shop Clean Face Clear Away Spot. This product soothe the wound after I extract the pimples or acne out.  It has a cooling effect which I assume is from the alcohol content in it.  There are a lot of dupes out there for this so it is not necessarily to buy this specific brand. The ingredients are: Alcohol Denat., Water/Eau, Calamine, Glycerin, Titanium Dioxide, Salicylic Acid, Butylene Glycol, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) LeafExtract, Silica, Alumina, Parfum/Fragrance. 


Ratings:
Functionality: 6/10
Packaging: 10/10
Travel-friendly: 10/10
Pricing: It can be cheaper because I hardly see great results with this.



KOSE Cosme Decorte Moisture Liposome is my favourite serum of all! It definitely can revive any dull skin in the world, you can have my word in that! The only thing about this product is that it is very hard to get. Only Isetan in The Gardens Midvalley have it, in Malaysia.  Once there was a period where my skin was so rough and dry.  I was shopping in The Gardens Mall and I saw this particular brand promoting their new eye cream.  I came across this serum while browsing through their other product and I bought only one of it. The 20ml trial package that comes with a small jar of moisturizer and eye cream. The results? Fantastic! If you are into instant results, I believe your will love this as much as I do. The second day I went back to the same counter and bought another 4 set of trial pack ( because it's cheaper that way). I am so happy that I finally found a product that can rescue dull skin! I told the sales person that I'm moving to the south which is Johor Bahru and asked her where can I purchase it in Singapore, the sales person told me to visit their counter again when I wanna purchase again because Singapore has it for a more expensive price.  Well, we'll see about that. =D



Ratings:
Functionality: 10/10
Packaging: 10/10
Travel-friendly: 10/10
Pricing: It is very expensive but worth it.

Finally, Pure Beauty Pomegranate Antioxidant Exfoliating Gel is my recently bought product that rescue my skin in a more gentle way. I use this when I feel that I can't polish my skin anymore because it can make it worse.  There are times when my skin react to weather, which I hate because it turns rough and dull.  Polishing beads will only makes it worse, trust me, you've been through those times right? I use this Exfoliating Gel for 3 days continuously when that "time" comes and my skin survived! This product is moisturizing enough, well, for a cleanser. Have to use it with dry hands and face for maximum results, or should I say it never worked well with wet skin? LOL. I bought the cleanser as well which I will mention in another review post! I love their cleanser as well. <3

Ratings:
Functionality: 8/10
Packaging: 10/10
Travel-friendly: 10/10
Pricing: It is very affordable and I wish to try more from this brand because the quality is quite "high-end".


We finally reach the end of this blog post and I would like to thank you for reading and visiting my blog, It means a lot to me! Thank you! I'm available in Twitter and Instagram!

SKINCARE REVIEW: MY MASK TEAM!

Hi everybody! Today I would to introduce you my mask team!  These are the masks I've been using for the past few months.  They are really good and recommended to everyone! =D

And they are my all time favorites as well! 


1. KOSE Clear Turn Sheet Mask (HA and Collagen

I've asked my friend who went to Japan to help me purchase this over. The details are as shown in the link above.  What this really does is that it replenishes the nutrients in your skin layer.  Masking over your face for 5 minutes is enough for all the absorption of nutrients from the serum.  Each sheet mask is well-soaked in serum so your don't have to go through all the trouble applying serums evenly or afraid that your serum doesn't work.  The opening of the packaging is the sticker type and it travels quite well, I mean for a 2 hours flight. The sticker can hold the serum well. For better protection, it is better to wrap it with a cling wrap or plastics before putting it on top of your clothes or other belongings when travelling. =D

Ratings! 
Moisture: 10/10
Performance (as promised): 10/10
Travel-friendly: 8/10
Price: Very reasonable (if purchased from Japan and not through shipping)





This is the first high-end mask that I've ever purchased.  It lasted so long and I love it. I used it almost every week before the Origins Out Of Trouble mask! It soaks up all my oil and clean them. Feels refreshing. 

Ratings! 
Moisture: 6/10 **means skin texture after you wash it off.
Performance (as promised): 10/10
Travel-friendly: 10/10
Price: Quite reasonable as it lasted so long.


This is the second Origins product I've purchased.  I apply a generous amount onto my face to make sure it really soothes all my pimples and blemishes and also to prevent future pimples when I feel that they are "popping" out soon.  The first time I used it, I felt itchy and I don't know why but after that it was all fine and good. I was wondering if anyone else experience the same thing as well, please let me know. Just curious. haha. =D

Ratings! 
Moisture: 8/10 **means skin texture after you wash it off.
Performance (as promised): 9/10
Travel-friendly: 10/10
Price: Quite pricey in the beginning but it's worth it, comparing it to how much facial sessions cost.


This is one of the best mask created by the brand Sasatinnie (made in Korea)! I've tried other ingredients but this one is the best, and the one made of bamboo extract as well. Specifically this one, it makes your skin feels tight and soft. It contains Snake peptide to even out wrinkles, Licorice root extract and Cnidium Officinale root extract the deeply hydrate the skin. I just love it, but before using this, you have to scrub your face to remove the dead skin cells for better absorption. 

Ratings! 
Moisture: 10/10
Performance (as promised): 10/10
Travel-friendly: 10/10
Price: It is quite pricey if considering of using it everyday. 



That's all for now, I hope you enjoy reading my review, and I'll write again next time!

MY LIPPIES COLLECTION!

 Hi, today I would like to introduce my lipstick and other lippie collection! If you are wondering why my collection is so little, well, it is because I don't buy the whole collection just for reviewing it, I only buy the color that I really use on daily basis. So this lippie collection will always be updated whenever I change my style! =) 


Ratings!

1. NYX Butter Lipstick in Snow Cap

I love this lipstick! It is so creamy and buttery and the color is quite nice as well. I used it as a base with other strong colored lipstick to tone down the color!

Coverage: 8.5/10
Long-lasting:3/10
Moisture:9/10
Price to Quality: Great! The quality is better than it should be.


2. Benefit Hoola Lip Gloss

This is my first high-end lip gloss I've ever purchase, and the only one as well. I don't really opt for lip gloss unless I'm not going for a meal.  High-end or drugstore, it is the same to me.

Coverage: 3/10
Long-lasting:6/10
Moisture:8/10
Price to Quality: For this color, not so worth it.

**This is great for those who only wants summer shine on their lips! Make sure you exfoliate before applying this, because it clings to your dead cells.

3. Lancome La Absolue Rouge in Orange Toffee

I love love love this lipstick! This is my first high-end lipstick bought from the counter! It promises to "plum up" your lips and smoothen out any wrinkles on the lips. AND IT DOES. And I love the way it has a magnetic cap and helps to not misplace the cap.

Coverage: 8.5/10
Long-lasting:8/10
Moisture:4/10
Price to Quality: Great! It does what it promises, just that it's a bit drying. Need a lip balm underneath.





4. MAC Lustre Lipstick in Housewine

This is the only color that I like from MAC stores for the moment, there are some colors that I loved but not available in Malaysia.  Oh well.

Coverage: 9.5/10
Long-lasting:8/10
Moisture:9/10
Price to Quality: Great! It's MAC, can't go wrong with that.




5. Clinique Chubby Stick in 2 ton tomato

I love the color but seriously, it clings onto the dead cells and I hate it.

Coverage: 6.5/10
Long-lasting:7/10
Moisture:2/10
Price to Quality: No it doesn't. It should be better!

6. Silky Girl Color Junkie Lip Polish in Fiery Rose

This lip gloss is a game changer! It has a tint, great color payoff, very pigmented, very moisturizing!

Coverage: 9/10
Long-lasting:9/10
Moisture:8/10
Price to Quality: Great! The quality is better than it should be for such price!

7. Revlon Butter Lipstick in Peach Parfait

I've bought the wrong color, it's not what I like because it has shimmer in it. The application is not as smooth as I predicted. The ratings are only based on this specific color.

Coverage: 2/10
Long-lasting: 2/10
Moisture:6/10
Price to Quality: I hate it, I can't judge this specific color.

8. Elianto Satin Matte Lipsticks

I love this lipstick! So so so so pigmented. I need to dab onto my lips and not glide onto it. It's way too pigmented! But I love it, despite the fact that it is very drying. Well, all matte lipsticks does that right?

Coverage: 10/10
Long-lasting:9/10
Moisture:3/10
Price to Quality: Great! It will be perfect if a matte lipstick like this is super moisturizing.



Thank you for taking your time to read this mini review on my lippies collection! Reading them means a lot to me.
