Feed Your Skin: Perfect Pore Cleansing Oil #LANEIGE

Image
 We all know that double cleansing is very important especially when we apply heavy make up. I use this as my night time routine. Even if I don't use make-up, I will still use this cleansing oil. I like the packaging of this product as it is a 'twist to pump' thing so you won't spill it (if you're clumsy like me).  Two to three pumps is sufficient enough to cover your whole face and neck. Massage for about 1-2 minutes using this oil. After that, wet your palms a bit and start massaging for about 1 minute and then wash if off. My face looks and feels so clean after using this. It also makes my skin soft. One bottle can last you quite some time. It is worth the purchase and definitely a repurchase for me!

Feed Your Skin: Organic Aloe vera Gel #AUFAIRY

Image
This gel was given to me as a gift. It claims to be 100% organic gel. The moment you open the packaging, you can smell a very strong aloe vera smell. This itself indicates that it is pure aloe vera gel. The gel smells so nice that you'll love applying it all over your body. (Haha!). I normally use this gel at night and especially after waxing to soothe my skin. It absorbs into skin skin so well and makes my skin looks so smooth. I mainly use this on my legs and arms. Occasionally, on my face as a sleeping mask (i do this post facial and threading to soothe my skin and the redness).  This gel is definitely worth it and it a repurchase for me! :-) 

Feed Your Skin: Water Sleeping Mask #Laneige

Image
This mask deserves a 100/100 points. Kudos to the Korean team who came up with this mask. This a sleeping mask, you have to use this as your last step in your skin care regime and go to sleep. And tadaaa! you will wake up to a fresh, glowing and moisturize skin! It is little bit on the pricey side but it is totally worth it. It can last you up-to few months depending on how often you use it. It is recommended to use 2-3 times a week. I also normally use this mask when i have an important meeting or event the next day or when i feel my skin looks dull. It will make my make up application so easy.  I got the set with the lavender one and the firm sleeping mask. However, i don't like the lavender one. The difference is only the smell. I prefer the original scent. It feels go good.  Definitely a yes for repurchase! (For lifetime). This is a must skincare product for every girl :-) 

Feed Your Skin: Green Tea Cleansing Gel To Foam #INNISFREE

Image
This Gel to Foam Cleanser is a must to have to get rid of your heavy make up after a long day. I normally do not use foundation and concealers on a daily basis. I only use them whenever i have functions or important meetings to attend. Well, if your are into Korean skin care, you will know that double cleansing is very important. However, i still make it a point to double cleanse everyday. I apply little dots on my face and massage my face for about 2-3 minutes. And once i am done cleansing, my face looks so clear and bright. I could feel how smooth my skin is. It is easy to use when you wash it off, it does not have any residue. I have extremely oily skin and this cleanser does not make my skin feel greasy or sticky.  This is a must cleanser to have for all ladies. It will remove all your remaining make up and make your skin feel so clear. Definitely a repurchase from my side :-)

Feed you skin: Skin Clinic Madecassoside #Innisfree

Image
I am so glad that i tried this skin clinic range of sheet masks. There's no turning back to Innisfree's real squeeze mask hereafter. Yes, Skin clinic range is double the amount but it's totally worth it! This mask is 100% cotton and comes in a thin layer. It sits on my skin very well and i love how it makes my skin feel. I left the mask on for 20 minutes. The essence is transparent and it absorbs quickly. After removing the mask, the essence does not feel oily or sticky. As usual, i pat the remaining essence and withing 30 minutes all the essence absorbed into the skin. (A total win win for this)  And also, i could feel my skin so smooth and soft after about 30min-1 hour. Unlike the real squeeze range, my skin felt very oily and sticky after removing the mask. So definitely a YES for a repurchase.

Feed Your Skin: Rice Bran & Soy Bean essence #NATURALSBYWATSONS

Image
I an skin care addict. Especially when it comes to Korean Skin care. I happen to spot this essence in Watsons and upon trying the tester, i immediately felt in love with this essence. Also, since currently i don't use any essence, and i thought let's just try this. This Essence absorbs pretty quickly into my skin which is why i love this. I have oily skin hence this product is must for me. It does not leave any greasy or sticky-ness on my skin. I have been using this essence for almost 3 months now and i kind off like how it makes my skin feel. It does make my skin slightly brighter and clearer. However, this is not the only skincare product i use. Of Course i have my favorite serum and toner that i use before patting this essence onto my skin. But again, i love how it absorbs quickly and the smell of this essence. Also, the packaging comes in a white clear bottle with a wooden-like cap. One point for that as well! Definitely a repurchase for me! and i would recommend...

Feed your skin: Eye Care #THEBODYSHOP

Image
So, i have been using Body Shop's Drops of Youth and Oils of Life for about a month and a half now and i am loving the results. Thanks to the sales girl who suggested me this. Drops Of Youth  I use this in the mornings before applying my serum. Oils Of Life And i use this during the night after washing off my face-mask that i use every night without fail (I do skip sometimes when i come back late from work) After using this, i see that my dark circles and wrinkles have reduced. Can't wait to see the outcome when i finish the whole bottle. It is worth the cash as it is long lasting and you just need very little to cover the area under your eyes. Updated: After 6 months of usage. My under eye dark circles have certainty improved a little. However, for the price i expected it to do wonders and completely cure my dark circles and wrinkles but it did not. Not a repurchase for me as if i can find better under eye care products.

British Rose Body Yogurt #THEBODYSHOP

Image
I could not resist myself when i saw British Rose body yogurt on that shelf. I just had to purchase it. And and no regrets at all. It absorbs very quickly into your skin and does not make your skin feel greasy unlike the body butter. It also makes my skin so soft :-) RM 59.90 They have a few scent/range of this body yogurt. I also love the morninga scent. It smells so refreshing. The banana one is too strong though. Apparently it is made of pure bananas. So that explains it. It is definitely a repurchase from me. I love the body shop's british rose range of products and use most of their products.  

Feed Your Skin: Green Tea Sheet Mask #INNISFREE

Image
When your become an Innisfree member, they will give you a welcome pack consisting a few green tea line of products. So, that is when i had the chance to try this face mask. The mask comes in drenched white/clear serum. All Innisfree sheet masks are drenched with ample of serum in it. Enough to be used on your neck and legs. Yes, I take the remaining serum in the packet and just apply them on my legs. I do this to all the sheet masks.  RM 5.00 I left the mask on for 20 minutes. My face does felt a lot fresher and cleaner like any other mask. but i did not see any out of the world difference. Also, i felt the serum takes very slow to penetrate into your skin and also my face feels oily once its dried up. I have oily skin. So i did not quite like this mask as it made my skin so greasy and sticky.  Not a repurchase for me! 

Feed Your Skin: Super Volcanic Clay Mousse Mask #Innisfree

Image
This Mask is just pure love i tell you! I was skeptical about this at first but i tried a few samples of the clay mask and felt totally for it. However, i felt that the texture is a bit hard hence i purchase this clay mousse mask because it is bit in the wet/damp side. I have oily skin hence i purchased the 'super' one. It comes in 100ML bottle with a tiny closing cap. Just one pump is more than enough to cover your face and neck. I let the mask sit for about 15 minutes and you can feel the mask drying off; it will get hard. rm 80.00 Once i washed the mask off, my face felt very fresh and clean. You can actually see your face so clear. It also makes my skin soft and cool. It is advised to use this mask 1-2 times a week. I prefer to use during the weekend and mid of the week as my work nature is such that i travel out for meetings a sometimes and i am exposed to sunlight and dusts. A small piece of advice; Do not use the same mask everyday. Have a few types of masks an...

Feed your skin: Bija & Tea Tree Capsule #INNISFREE

Image
Today i will be reviewing Bija & Tea Tree capsule face pack from Innisfree. The face pack is blueis-green in colour. It is like a clay mask and it fries off easily. However, there's this very strong smell and i somwhow cannot stand the smell. Also, i feel when i put on the mask, my face feels warm/hot and not cooling. I also see a bit of redness and a bit of small pimples on my face after using this face mask.  It is definitely a no repurchase because it does not suit me. However, it might work wonders for some of you. Give it a try. Bought it for RM 10.00. 

Feed Your Skin: Acai Berry Sheet Mask #INNISFREE

Image
So, I am trying out Innisfree's sheet masks one by one to see which one suits my skin. I tried Acai Berry recently. It comes in drenched in a milky serum not like the other face mask, which comes in a clear serum. RM5.00 The mask smells so good. Love the smell. I left it for about 20 minutes. The masks claims to firm teh face. However, i did not see any difference once i took the mask off. In fact i notice two small pimples on my cheeks the next day. So, no for a repurchase from me!

Feed Your Skin: Rice Sleeping Pack Capsule #INNISFREE

Image
This the first time i tried a sleeping pack as i don't like anything uncomfortable on my face when i sleep. I love sleeping and it is very important to me :-P This rice sleeping mask is white in colour and the moment you open it, it has a very strong rice smell which i like. It means these stuffts are all real and natural la. RM 10.00 I applied a fair amount to my face, it is a bit oily at the start but t eventually gets absorbed into your skin. So you won't feel uncomfortable when sleeping. I slept with the face mask on. Next morning, i washed my wash and i could see it glowing and fresh. It didn't leave behind any redness or pimples. So yes for a repurchase from my side Yay!

Feed your skin: Jeju Volcanic Pore Cleansing Foam #INNISFREE

Image
I have been using this Foam for almost 3 and a half months now. (It is almost finishing hence one bottle/pack can last about 3-4 months) I have oily skin and the consultant in Innisfree suggested me to use this.  My face used to be very oily. Post lunch i could feel my T- Area oily-ness. This foam does wonder to my skin. It makes my face less oily than before. It is just RM 35.00.  I actually want to try Innisfree's other foams as well especially their Green Tea range but i am very skeptical as this cleanser is okay and does not do damage to my skin. I will probably consult the consultant in Innisfree (She, the consultant in Innisfree's Sogo is very helpful)  It is still a repurchase for me. Works well on oily skin. 

Feed your Skin: Lime Sheet Mask #INNISFREE

Image
I have recently been addicted to Innisfree's Sheet masks and have been slowly buying everything (sheet mask) to give it a try. I have used a few of them and this Lime Mask is so far, the best for my skin. My skin felt so soft and brighter after using this mask. The face mask was drenched in the lime essence. It’s a water clear base serum like and it was dripping as I unfold the mask. RM 5.00 I normally leave the sheet mask for 30 minute and i normally use them at night. So the serum will sit throughout the night. This mask does what it claims. My skin felt so much brighter. Yes for a repurchase. (I have already repurchase them) :-P

Chinese Ginseng & Rice Clarifying Polishing Mask #THEBODYSHOP

Image
So, I have been a ardent fan of Body Shop's British Rose and for my second mask purchase, i was skeptical between the Chinese or the Himalayan one and finally with the help of the friendly Body Shop's Staff, i got into Chinese Ginseng. It does wonder to my skin. I do see a difference after using the mask. I also have googled up benefits of Chinese Ginseng and Rice. Well, Ginseng is know to have toning properties and the rice extract is known to moisturize and brighten the skin. It does work well on my skin. My skin feel fresher and toned. For now, I use Body Shop's British Rose and Chinese Ginseng Face Mask. I use them everyday. (Well, i do have days when i have lazy) I am allowed to have once in two weeks cheat day for my skin. Lol. It is very important to feed your skin. A yes for a repurchase! Totally worth the cash!

Feed Your skin: Black Mask #BIOAQUA

Image
I have quite a number of back black heads around my nose area and i normally use the pore strips which they sell in Guardian & Watson's. I wanted to try something different and came across this online.  I used this to cover my whole nose and leave it for about 10-15 minutes. Once it dries off, you can just peel the mask off. And you can actually see the black heads being stuck to the mask. My nose felt very smooth and clean after using it. RM 22.00 This mask says that it can be used for the whole face not just your nose. However, i did try on y face and i felt y face was so dry after peeling off the mask plus i saw some small pimples as well. So, not to be used for my whole face. Definitely a repurchase to be used on my nose. Totally love the results! 

Feed Your Skin: Foot Mask #Innisfree

Image
I have never tried any kind of foot mask before. Just recently when i got addicted to K-Beauty, i saw this mask in the rack along with Innisfree's other sheet masks. I thought why not just give it a try since it was just RM 11.00. I opened the pack and saw a long sheet. You have to actually tear the line in between. It was very easy to tear the mask apart.  After that, you just have to slip the mask and let the serum absorb. I could walk a little bit with the mask on. I Totally love the results of the mask. I left it for about 30-45 minutes. There were ample amount of serum in the mask, so i did not wanna waste them. I kept the mask longer than prescribed.  RM 11.00 My Foot felt so moisturized and soft after using this mask. However, it lasted for about 3-4 days and after that my foot started to dry out again. This is a mask that you will have to once or twice use every week. Ever since, I have been using this mask once weekly and i prefer to use them on Fridays so...

Feed Your Skin: Red Kiwi #INNISFREE

Image
So, I have heard a lot about K-Beauty and decided to give it a try. And when i did some google search i came across Innisfree. Apparently it is a very famous brand among all the K-Beauties. So decided to try their capsule Face Mask as it was the cheapest one :-P. I wanted to get something that i can use for a few times to see the results rather than just one-time off face mask.  The lady who attended to me was very helpful and friendly. (I went to the outlet in Sogo). She asked me what are my concerns and all and then suggested me this Red Kiwi. Red Kiwi The package looks small like this and it can be used for about 4-5 times. The texture is white in colour and you will be able to see a bit of kiwi seeds as well. and the kiwi smell is also there hence i believe it is the real fruit and not just chemicals only. I actually love how my skin feels after applying this mask. I see fresh and glowing skin. However, while using it is a bit oily, so not so good for those of you ...

British Rose #THEBODYSHOP

Image
I have been using British Rose range from Body Shop approximately about 6 months now. I started off with their fresh plumping mask. Initially i was using it everyday once. I normally leave it to set for around 10 minutes and then i wash if off. After minutes of applying, you'll start to feel it penetrating into your skin.  I do feel a difference on my skin. It is fresher and glowing. Now i used it once a week or twice a week. It is very good after a long day at work with all the make up on your skin. It's just the pampering you want after a long day at work and the rosy smell will calm you down. I also have their body butter and hand cream.Honestly these two seems the same for me. The hand cream is in a smaller container hence i got it so it is easy for me to carry it with me all the time. I love the smell of the lotion. Its to rosy and so british-sy. Anyway it is yes for a repurchase for me! Love how it makes me feel! Product: British Rose Fresh Plumping Ma...
