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.

Updates + Big Announcement

I thought I start off how dormant this blog has been with a good ol' update post. Cause there's nothing like going back in the blogger grind than just telling y'all what's been up since the last one. It's been a year since that post so ya girl has went through a whole LOT. I am now finally in my first year of degree, I got into the high committee for my DJ Club, I've been more creative with editing photos (check it out on the gram @twistlist ) and moved to a better apartment where I can finally COOK along with dope housemates. Through all the stress and never ending work I got from school, life honestly has been really good to me and I'm just grateful to be where I am. Won't lie though; I had my dips this past year with adulting, getting things together and balancing it all. Self deprecation is a habit I am trying to curb and not do as often since its sort of my coping mechanism to stress. We are not about that this year, not anymore. I'...

Haul+Review: Beauty Edition III

BIORE UV AQUA RICH SUNSCREEN I always enter the sunscreen section of drugstore with some concerns. Its just tough when you're oily in one area and not really in others while trying to get a sunscreen that accommodates those two in one face. While being such a integral part of skincare, it is also sometimes the least thoroughly thought of product unless you were off on some tropical getaway. You might think that SPF found in your bb cream to be a great add on but it doesn't mean you can depend exclusively to it as your sun protection even if you use it daily. It just won't stand up to a regular sunscreen. However Biore seem to have a range of sunscreens to cater to what you're looking for so I bought this one. I don't have the original packaging but I do remember that it promises a semi matte finish and no lingering white cast. Which I'm happy to report that it isn't causing me breakouts or leaving me looking like a ghost. It also seem to be well aft...

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...
