Beautymate Venus series: Polypeptide Collagen Revitalizing Mask review

Hi darlings,

Weekend is here again and its time for DIY pampering!!!! I had received an awesome product from Hishop a few weeks ago and there was this amazing facial mask - the Polypeptide Collagen Revitalizing Mask from the Beautymate Venus series.

Main functions: Intense Moisturising, Anti-aging, enhances skin elasticity

Suitable for: All skin types, especially dry and sensitive skin!!!

The Collagen Peptide Multi is the best supplement for reducing wrinkles caused by dehydration. It penetrates deep into your skin and moisturise it instantly. The product also contains Hyaluronic acid, aloe, Cyanobacteria and others which replenishes the skin's moisture 1,000 times of water immediately. In addition to that the natural plant extracts helps repair the skin and protects your skin from external agents. It can even smooth a small fine line on the skin, keeping your skin's elasticity!!!

Just look at how much product is on this mask!!! 

__________________________________________________________

Le Verdict:
1. Super Hydrating and super moisturising!!!! My face is feeling so cool right now *melting*
2. The face mask fits snugly on the face and its super easy to adjust for a lifting effect ^o^
3. My skin is really smooth and it feels as if there's less fine lines on the cheek area!!!

This face mask is totally worth every penny that you spend on it.
Don't forget that there is a FLASH SALE on Hishop's website: its only selling for RM 39.90/box (with 10 pieces in it). Just click on the logo to get it NOW!!!

SCHWARZKOPF FRESHLIGHT Hair Colour in Caramel Brown review

Today's review is on Schwarzkopf Freshlight Hair Colour in Caramal Brown. It is a bubble hair dye like the Liese Hair Dye in Chestnut Brown I bought for my sister.

Inside the Box:

1. 1 bottle Colouring Cream
2. 1 bottle of Developer Emulsion
3. 1 satchet After Colour Treatment
4. 1 Push Pump
5. Professional Colour Gloves

Before we begin- this is my sisters hair colour at the moment:

STEP BY STEP GUIDE:

The Instruction leaflet is super easy to understand but here's a visual step by step guide!!!

1. Tear along the dotted line behind the box. It acts as a stand for the Developer Emulsion Agent.

2. Pour the Colouring Cream into the Developer Emulsion Agent.

look at all those bubbles!!!!

3.  Gently mix it together.

4. Pump and apply!!!!

Likes:
1. FOAMS + PUMPS =  Super easy application. I like the Liese bubble pump more - you just need to squeeze and the product will 'foam' out.
2. No burning sensation like the previous Schwarzkopf Freshlight in Mysterious Beige that I had reviewed.


Dislikes:
1. There was a strong chemical smell during application. Luckily it was momentary.
2. Its a tad bit dry after washing off the hair treatment. I would normally apply hair mask after this stage.

My sisters hair had a bit of discolouration to begin with therefore there's different strips of colours. It doesn't colour unevenly. I've only applied a tiny amount on my roots to cover the hair and it works just fine. The colour is really good. You get a caramelised brown. Not too dark and not too light. Its just nice ^o^


XOXO,

O'SLEE Honey Sugar Mask review

The first time I had came across O'slee Honey Sugar Mask was at the Cite Cosme event earlier this year (Part 1 and Part 2). I had tried scrubbing it on my hand and mind you it was not pleasant at all. The scrub was soo rough that I couldn't even think of a reason why it would be one of the top ten products. I was really skeptical when I was contacted to do a review on the same mask. Well lets play MYTHBUSTER!!! Is this product a yay or a nay.

O'slee Honey Sugar Mask - your 10 mins to Smooth and Brighter skin

I love the packaging, it looks so dainty and cute. They even provide a free cleansing sponge and mask stick!!

Product is sealed.

What they claim: 

This looks promising. Currently I have a super duper blackhead issue and its been bugging me for quite some time. 

Texture:

Super fine granules of sugar!!!!

Application:

2-3 times/week and can be applied on face, lips and body.

There are 2 ways of using this mask, either you apply it on a dry face or a wet face. Personally I prefer applying it on a wet face. I feel that the scrubbing is too harsh for my skin. Don't forget to use your mask stick to scoop out the required amount!!! 

If you are applying it on 

Wet Skin: Apply the mask, gently massage in circular motion then the sugar will melt down. Let the mask stay for 5 - 10 minutes then rinse;

Dry Skin: Apply the mask, gently massage in circular motion for 1 minute then rinse. 

************************************************

What I Like about it:

1. Super fine granules of sugar that melts almost instantly without me having to scrub my face too much.

2. Love the honey scent.

3. The fact that the box includes a spatula and sponge!!!

What I Dislike about it:

1. well there's no reason to dislike the product. It doesn't leave my skin dry, it doesn't give me any red patches or itches on my face, its not a 'harsh' scrub which is just the way I love it, so there's really nothing to dislike about it. I love honey products ^o^

Le Verdict:

I prefer using it on wet face. My skin was super smooth and my lips are super soft, oooo I can just kiss myself if I could ^o^. And guess what's the best part - it removed my blackheads!!!! Well ok I had used a pore strip after cleaning off the masks but the result was awesome. (I am very sorry I didn't have a before and after photo of this. Will try to get one and update it here)

This is really one of the best mask that I ever had and I am going to keep it for my lips and my blackheads!!! Mythbusted - its a YAY for O'slee Honey Sugar Mask!!!! Definitely going to recommend it to my family and friends, maybe get it as their Christmas present!!! ^o^

NP: RM 59.90/100ml (now selling at RM 50.90 on their website!!!)

Love,

Etude House Precious Mineral Any Cushion Foundation Review in Natural Beige W13

Dear lovely readers,

I am sure all of you have been following Etude House product launches very closely. Well we all love Etude House products don't we!!! Here's the new Precious Mineral Any Cushion Foundation from Etude House.

As always, their products are just soo cute. It comes in this light peachy pink colour. I just love it when they make their products sooo girly.

The product is sealed to keeps its freshness and it comes with an extra special air puff sponge!!!

Here's a closeup of the product:

It looks like the moon craters, isn't it.

There are 2 shades available at the moment - Natural Beige W13 and/or Honey Beige W24. The one that I was provided with is Natural Beige W13.

This amazing product can be refilled!!! Just push at arrow indicated on the packaging and the white container will just pop out. I wonder if they would recycle their white container. It'd be a shame if we just throw the container out after refilling the product. We should really minimise waste.

The Full package is selling for RM 109.90.  (* I will update on the price for refills has been set by EH*) and you can find it in all Etude House branches starting this September 2013!!!!


Product Features:
A new conceptual foundation perfectly fits on the skin only with easy stamping that liquid is evenly spread in the cushion pores. It makes possible for smart and speedy makeup with 6 in 1 multi-functions of Foundation, sunscreeen, sebum powder, moisture essence and cooling.

It ingredients includes:

Hyaluronic Acid
Contains more than 1000 times of water of its mass so it supplies deep moisturising and watery texture to the skin. * Moisture Lock technique prevents loss of moisture by attracting plenty of water with hydrophilic hyaluronic acid.

Sebum Control Acid
Making soft and sleek skin through oil control as preventing greasy skin with perfect fitness on the skin

Pearl Powder
Bright and gorgeous skin finishing with pearl mineral powder which makes skin clean and clear and niacin amide that is effective for whitening

Suits all skin types

The Air Puff:

Made of Rubycell and Polyurethane, it helps apply the contents as patting lightly with the puff. It minimizes contents absorption with dual structure and it doesn't reabsorb water so it's superior  in cooling and freshness. This is soo great without wasting the contents. The puff also minimizes discoloration and cracking of the surface with moist finishing.

Benefits:
1. Sanitation
2. Thin layer on skin
3.Skin friendly


How to keep your puff clean:

1. Soak the puff in the water
2. Apply foaming cleanser or puff cleanser on the puff (Applying the cleanser after lathering)
3. Press the puff to outward from the center with two thumbs. Repeat the step in running water to clean the foams.

DON'T twist or wring the puff to prevent cracking and ripping off.

Before and After photo:

I know both photos look similar and it will feel like you are playing a game but bear with me on this. My skin condition isn't all that great when you put it up like this. I have blackheads on my nose and some enlarged pores, some acne scars on my chin, discolouration on my face (well uneven skin tone) and those brown spots on my cheeks. I can live without makeup but its just un-professional when I go to work. I don't need heavy foundation for full coverage so this precious mineral Any Cushion Foundation works quite well for me as it only pats on thin covers!!!

If you look at the after photo now, you'll notice that my skin is so much more silky and smooth. It evens out the skin tone and covers my blackheads and minimised my pores!!!

____________________________________________________
What I like about it:
1. I love the simple application. Pat and apply!!!!
2. Its cooling effect was soooooo nice that I could still feel it after 10 hours.
3. It kept my skin moisturised the whole day. No drying up and cakey feel.
4. I love the way my skin looks sooo silky and smooth. It even covered up most of the dark spots.
5. The foundation lasted the whole day!!!! I didn't even applied any powder.
6. Minimised my pores and blackheads.


What I don't like about it:
1. The recommended using time is estimated to 1 month only. For the price that they are selling, that would incur a lot of costs for most of us .
2. Its not really easy to bring it in a small purse for re-application but since it can last me so long, I don't need to bring it along with me.

____________________________________________________


I would definitely buy this product for what its worth. This might be the best product that I currently have at the moment!!! I'm going to introduce this to my mom, think she'll love this. Hope you enjoy this review guys and thank you for your support!!!

XOXO,

theSkintopic Wild Ferns KIWIFRUIT Light 'n' Luscious Body Wash and Silky Smooth Body Lotion review

Hola Amigos,

After a month of hibernation I AM BACK!!! and I bring with me some Awesome news. First, I want to thank you for having faith in my blog, I really appreciate it. Secondly, this blog will be having some revamps in August so you might find some of the things missing from time to time (It'll be drop dead gorgeous, hmmm nah maybe not but who knows ^o^). Ok back to the topic.

I am sure every now and then you would hear people say that Kiwifruit is good for your health but do you really know the health benefits this yummy green fruit contains?

1. It is very high in vitamins especially Vitamin E which helps to regenerate skin cells and maintain its tone and elasticity.
2. It contains minerals, antioxidants and Omega 3 that works to protect your skin against environmental stress (one of the MAIN cause of premature ageing in skin)
3. The Kiwifruit contains a natural enzyme which acts as a gentle exfoliant to remove dry skin cells leaving your skin soft, smooth and refreshed. 

This is just plain awesome and it has inspired Wild Ferns New Zealand to create awesome products from the Kiwifruit!!

Wild Ferns Kiwifruit Light 'n' Luscious Body Wash 250ml (RM 78.00)

A refreshing bath and shower gel containing the beneficial properties and sweet fragrance of Kiwifruit.

My first thought - EWWWW, It really looks like there's tons of mashed Kiwifruit in there. The body wash smells really nice, a hint of Kiwifruit freshness (not to mention there will be Kiwifruit seeds on your body) that lingers on your body after wash. I love the fact that the scent is not overpowering and not overly sweet. I feel so refresh and my skin is soft and smooth.


Wild Ferns Kiwifruit Silky Smooth Body Lotion 250ml (RM 78.00)
A deeply hydrating body lotion containing a blend of Kiwifruit Oil and Sweet Almond Oil. It contains high levels of Vitamin E and keeps your skin soft and moisturised.

I absolutely adore body lotions and have loads of them in my room. I can vouch that this is product is to die for. Apply the Silky Smooth Body Lotion all over your body (honestly the best time to apply body lotion is after shower)) and you will feel that it instantly moisturise and softens your skin. Now I just wanna stay in bed and hug myself (being a narcissist here).


Wild Ferns only opts for the best ingredients for their skincare products. Most importantly the ingredients come from sustainable sources ;) talk about being earth friendly!!!! Besides Kiwifruit, WildFern also uses manuka honey and lanolin. I had had the opportunity to review WildFern's Conditioning Hand Creme in Manuka Honey which I had received in my Wonderbox. Its just awesome and I use it in office everyday!!!

Hope you enjoy this review and there is more to come ^o^

Love,
