Haul+Review: Beauty Care Edition II


THE FACE SHOP GREEN TEA FACE MASK
The cool thing about masks from The Face Shop is that you can find ones that are real cheap, like around RM6 cheap. Of course for one sheet you may think it isn't exactly a steal but in comparison to most brands in drugstores like Watson and Guardian, its far better. There is also something non-sticky and easily absorbed about their formulas that makes this a treat from mother nature herself. This one is meant to soothe irritation and revitalises your skin. I usually stock on this when my face is having its occasional red breakout and it does its job decently. Better if you popped this out from the fridge. My skin feels really nice to the touch and I always feel a sense of satisfaction when an ugly bump shrinks down considerably.


MEDIHEAL I.P.I LIGHTMAX MASK
This one offers, you guess it, brightening effect with some moisture enhancement. I specifically used it on a very particular busy day where my skin just felt exhausted and dull. It did it's job and my skin look rejuvenated from the day's hustle. I also heard a ton of good things about Mediheal masks, especially in the Korean market which all the more made me wanted to try their variety of masks. I wouldn't say this stood out to me from their other products in any particular way but it did what it was intended to do and that's enough to give me a satisfying review on it.


THE FACE SHOP SOLUTION SMOOTHING FACE MASK
The Face Shop's The Solution Line is a far more expensive line of sheet masks as compare to the one before. Unlike the usual from-nature-itself  packaging its other product tend to focus on, this line is much more science forward. If you're skincare fluent, then you know there are far more ingredients out there with skin specific functions like BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid), Hyaluronic Acid, Retinol and many more.You might think that all sounds complex and too much to get into if you're not familiar with what they are but it only takes a bit of thorough research or even a talk with a dermatologist to figure them out. This mask for example achieves smooth and soft skin because BHA aids acne-scarred skin and exfoliates dead cells. Hence why it works wonders for those with acne prone skin and can be often found as other acids like Salicylic Acid. Whenever I know there is any event where my skin needs to be at its best, I make sure to stock this up into my fridge a week before. Even certain type of chemicals is needed in our skincare and if you can figure out what and how much is needed for your skin type, you be surprised at the overall result of your skin. So have no fear readers, I encourage you to check this line out for any of your beauty troubles.


THE FACE SHOP MASCREAM FIRMING MASK
I don't remember much about the price of this one but I don't think it was far from the last mask sheet which was about RM17. This I think came from a more cream based line of masks and definitely something I suggest if you're looking for something richer in texture and effect. I decided to give it a go but like everything that is heavy in texture, my skin just didn't benefit. You could end up over moisturizing yourself sometimes if you're not careful considering your lifestyle and skin type. I do highly recommend this to someone with really dry skin or aging skin as I think it does the job of really maintaining your skin elasticity and moisture. It just may be too much for my type of skin though.

Double posting yeah! Feeling pretty motivated so straight after my very recent post of my trip to La Holla, here is another post on some of the songs that got me feeling some good vibes for the past 2 months I've been in the US until even now. You all also get an idea on my kind of music which is pretty eclectic as some of those who I violated with my playlist over the radio would know. Along with what I think of the song as well as a bit of info on it, hope you guys check em' out and see if you like them! 1. Blank Space/ Style (Taylor Swift Mashup) by Louisa Wendorff & Devin Dawson This is my current on repeat song that I only discovered just couple days back and this song got 4 million views on youtube.

Nothing but soft classic yet original tunes and perfect harmony that ...

2021 Update

     Hi readers if I still have any. I know its been two whole years since my last one and the reasoning the same. I am still doing my degree and technically in my final semester but with everything going on right now I am still the same girl with new different things to be anxious about. I am not sure if this means I am back on the blogging grind but I weirdly still feel a need to update on where I am, where you could find me more if not this blog and it felt like the mood to write this came and I jumped on it.     So I am right now trying to do my best with doing my final stretch of degree on a virtual online platform and my weakness for getting things done and time managing hit me so hard. Not being able to be where my family is right now in Sabah has caused tons of different strains no one is prepared for but I want to leave you all also things I am doing to do to try work on it. I am taking therapy (it has been hard work but its definitely relieved my emoti...

Spotlight: Beauty Edition

I am back home and having spent almost 3 weeks blissfully chilling and eating, I thought I share some beauty products that I've been loving recently. For cleanser , I really do enjoy this one for removing my make up. I won't say its something you can count on to take a completely BEAT face off but if you typically don on light makeup (me on the daily), this does the job. I really wanted to try be environment friendly by avoiding make up wipes as much as I can and I can't use cleansing oils because I have no hot water back in the hostel to really get that off. Hence, I gave this a go and its a bliss to massage into the face. I've been trying this thing I read from W Magazine that's a Japanese technique to cleanse as well as rinse for a couple minutes each to really clean out your face with gentle cleansers. So this product was perfect to also implement that and easy to rinse out as well. When I wanted to be more gentle to my skin, I worried that product...
