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.

Shades Of Cool

My friend, Fran (imagine the puns made with her name), and I had conducted couple of photo shoots since last year. Last Saturday was our third shoot till a long time considering we are all mostly likely gonna be busy for a while since graduating form high school. It's also by far the best I had, even considering that our only cameras were her sister's iPhone 4 and my Sony Xperia Z2. Quick note on my smartphone: I wanted to find one with the best camera and this totally fit my criteria of the perfect camera. Its manual function allows me to control ISO, focus on certain objects whilst giving a blur background similar to that of a DSLR and capture amazing details. Basically, I take all my photos with it. For this shoot, we went for a minimalist grunge as the theme. For once we went for something really simple but not understated at all. In their basic apparels, the models, Cristy (left) and Chan Yng (right), wore delicate necklaces and rings provided by me. They shine ...

Tune Favourites

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. Gaining these artists some attention from the media and compliments from Tay Swift herself! Also they got to attend the Grammy's today and sing this song on E!'s pre red carpet show. 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...
