The hate on face

Pink Powder - Etude House
I bought this at first from Etude House, The price was about $29.00 (if I remember correctly) but I saw promotional Time sale price at Qoo, therefore start buying from them, the price range from $12.90 - $19.90, depending on the sales. However, since it fly over from Korea, so the waiting time will be around 2 wks. 
This product dry up the Acne or pimple very effectively. But not suitable to use it during the day if u intended to go out. Its good to use at night, dap it and go sleep. use generous amt on the problem area, surprisingly dry up the pimple/Acne perfectly the next day. 


Pink Powder series pimple patch - Etude House
A box of about 6packets, with varies size of sticker, just paste it on the Acne or pimple, it act as a drying agent to dry up the Acne or pimple, work perfectly for me. 


Pink Power series Liquid Spot - Etude House
Its like a clear water chemical that require dap to the problem area, dont really like this cos I find it abit unhygenic. since its dap on the same area and no way to waste that place. wonder do the bacteria clog there or not, Not cheap thg this product... $20+ (will update price soon). But seem this at Qoo too



Dermedex - From a facial shop
This was given to me from my ex, now I cant find where to purchase this, $60 per tube, its good to reduce scar and heal them. (anyone know where to get this, please let me know). 
Thanks... ^^V



VICHY - Normaderm Hyaluspot
(Bought this from Qoo10 for about $24, can be purchase at NTUC unity and guardian)
This is really good in drying up the pimple. Its in a clear gel form and the gel is very strong, too much of it will dry your skin, My skin is very sensitive type, applying too much on it will cause redness around the skin around. 

The kiss

Laneige two tone lip bar ($37 retail)
Love the colour of the 2 tone on lips, it suppose to create a gradient on lips to create like a 3D effect. using the right way seem alittle too dark on my lips, I used the lips in opposite way and create a really nice colour

Laneige special care
Lip Sleeping Mask ($27retail)
Love the smell of the mask, taste like having berry chewy gums. It was told that we could apply a generous amount on lips and sleep overnight. Removed it with a tissue the next day. 
Not sure abit reduce the dark pigmentation on the lips but definately very smooth the next day after removing


Tint Bar-triple shot lips tint (VDL-SGD24)

The pinky colour attracted me to buy this, and more of it, I was told this contain Royal Jelly..
 which moisturizes the lips. Super 
However, its abit dry after applied on the lips, the colour tint did stay on the lips. 


 Laneige Serum Intense Lipstick (SGD 32)
I am quite impress with the moisturizing of this lipstick give. Its very cushion like feel, howeevr, dont expect long lasting. But u may love to use it like a lip balm.


Laneige Lips gloss
This is a nude colour gloss, Love this alot, abit shimmer. Any lipstick that applied on lips if tends to be very red and dark in colour, this will neutralize the coloured down
((This coloured already discontinued))


Innisfree lip balm-Deep Moisture (Canola honey) 
- SGD$9.80 (Qoo10)
Bought this at Qoo10, If I am right, the retail Innisfree store is selling for $19.00+/-
The texture is thick and deep moisture. It does feel thick thick texture on lips after apply, and I believe its great for people who stay in a cold country or in air conditional place. The moisture provided is excellent. The taste of Canola honey is not strong, its a very mild taste and nice to have. 


Chubby JellyTint Pack 10g (SecretKeys)

-SGD$16.50 for 2 (qoo10)

Very interesting product is an advanced lip makeup, first have to applied a very thick portion on lips and wait till dry for about 5-10min. peel off from the starting point slowly and the tint remains on the lips, applied lips gloss to create glossy effect (see below for the colour and usage)
There are alot of seller selling this JellyTint pack, secret keys only have 3 colours, pink, red and orange. However, the colour does not stay as it mentioned, perhapes a nice long 6-8hours... but it slowly fade off as the colour will get lighter and lighter, not sure was it becaused of the lipgloss I applied after or frequency of eating or drinking. 

The face stories

SK-II facial treatment Repair C
A nutrient rich serum with a mix of concentrated pitera and Hyaluronic acide. it reduces the appearance of wrinkles & roughness to refine skin texture & electricity. After many days and weeks of usage, it does refine my skin. The usage of this leave the skin pumped with moisture, velvety smooth. 
Usage: pump 1-2 times on palms & massage onto face & eye area in an outward motion. lightly tap around face for complete absorption, if not, you will feel the stickness on the face. use morning and night after beauty essence.


SKII-Facial Treatment Essence-Key Ingredient: Pitera™

Bought the traveller size as a trial pack, not sure it works or not, but my skin was kind of looking more glowing than usual. Its a very expensive product. Hope it works miracle like it claims. I am not commenting much on this product as my skin only look brighter and slight glow instead of tired and dull. 





SK-II Midnight Miracle Essence (Facial Mist-$90 retail)
There are 2 type of mist as named, one is midnight and another is morning. although it doesnt mean that it have to use it as named, however both contain Piteria, the midnight mist contain extra mint in it. I like it as the Piteria smell is not too strong. 
It can be spray on top of make up, having piteria every moment seem great isnt it? !!! 


Odbo Aqua SoothingSilky essence-SGD$58
This product is from Korea, happen to passby Bugis to see a new store there, its kind of pricy for a essence but I cannot denied the hydro effect is worth paying. I have tried for 1 day and my face serum reduce. 


Innisfree The Green Tea Seed Serum
(bought from Qoo10 at $24.90-ship from Korea)
The feel of the serum was nice, I love it, as the serum absolute into my skin very fast. Very light feel and not sticky.


Milk Plus Whitening Facial Scrub
(Beauty Buffet)
Trust me, you will love this if you love the smell of Vanilla, You need to resist yourself from putting this into you mouth and eat it. 
The scrub is comfortable and definitely makes your skin feel so much smoother than it usually does. They have other favor like Peach, strawberry etc... Milk is my favourite. 

The Odbo Bubble Cleanser ($48)
The Odbo from Korea, the bubble cleanser create a little sparkling feeling when used, it was said that it can even clean off make up on the face and used as make remover. How clean can it be, hmmm still trying to observe. But the cleaning feel are quite clean.


Blanc snail moisturuzer - ($48)
It was stated that it was an advance Acne Blemish treatment with snail slime, 
No matter what the product advertiser said. It is the result that we will tried on it and see it with our own experiences and time. I have start using this product on 8 May 2015, as claim by them, it said that the result will be obvious after 1 month of continue usuage.... hm... Lets see should we? 




Wonder Pore (Toner) - Etude House
Was told to contain alot of good things inside and suitable for people with oily skin, I love the cover, Need not find a place to put down the cover. Great

Wonder Pore Corrector - Etude House
Was told that this is use after all the normal routine, it helps to close up the pores, after used, it act like primer, smoothen the skin with cooling effect,


Moisturiser - Skin Lab (SGD14.90)
The moisturiser contain vitamins A,E,B,C,K.... depend on the condition of your skin to get one that is suitable for you. For my case, I want anti aging,control serum, lighten scar, so I can use a combination of A,E,K, great!
Bought this from Qoo. 



BlackHead Melting Gel - Laneige (SGD18)
I bought this from Qoo, when rubbing on my nose trying to melt the blackhead as mentioned how it does, there is some heating sensation feel. After apply this, have to use the strip, paste it on the nose area and tear it off, this act to soften the black head, so it makes it easier to remove them. 

Mild Cleaning Oil (makeup remover) - Fancl (SGD32)

This is my all time favourite, it remove all the make up I had on my face, but need a little more time and effort on the waterproof makeup, but this oil is very gentle, it helps to avoid those hard rubbing on the face when trying to remove makeup. Very easy used. 



Time Freeze Essence - Laneige
Bought this during Time sale at Qoo, 2 bottles for $45, its definately a good buy, fly in from Korea, only received them 3 weeks after purchase. Not sure whether it freeze the time or not. hahaha but the definately trust the brand.


Water Sleeping Pack_EX - Laneige
Simply love this sleeping pack, apply generously on face and go to sleep, its like doing mask everynight, Surprisly face look so moisture the next day. Love it
This is the new version and upgrading version, and this new version has sleep-tox function which help detox ur skin overnight. 




Firming Sleeping Pack - Laneige ($32)
Bought this during time sales from Qoo, This is the upgraded version of the Sleeping pack EX, the lotion is like pudding, more amazing thing is, when u dig the lotion, the lotion will return to the original stage, this is how it firm ur skin. 


Moisture Balancing Emulsion - Laneige
Applying this lighten the pigmentation on our skin, and also improve the dullness of our skin.
 This is to be apply before moisturizer so that the moisturizer can absorb more better and faster.
Do apply this after toner, follow by this Emulsion and eye cream and so on.. Works for me. 

Bio Spring Water - Bio essence (3 for SGD19.90)
From all the people said, it have so much good thing and it was even called the miracle water. I used this as facial mist to keep my make up on face, and used this before my make up to wake my skin up, perfectly useful. Worth buying


LANCOME Spot eraser. 
I bought this trial size to test it whether it really reduce the spot on my face. And its a miracle.  it work! My scar was lighten.... Great!!

Shu Uemura Cleaning Oil ($45 @ Qoo)
I used this to remove my make up, the usage should be the same as Fancl cleansing oil. The feel is the same, and make up do removed, but I still feel that Fancl's cleansing  oil is better. :)



Clean & Clear from Johnson n Johnson 
($1.90 from those beauty shop at Peace center Outram Park)
Ok, talk about cheap and good, I cannot deny that this is so great. It helps reduce my pimple size and clear excess serum. Gentle on my skin too. Love this... 2 Thumbs up




Lancome Blanc Expert Melanolyser III Spot Eraser

Bought the little traveller trial pack for a try, The 2nd edition of this spot eraser is indeed work to reduce the dullness of your skin, if you have dark spots on face, applying the whole skin with the necessary massage makes the product soak into your skin making it works perfectly. However, do not apply too much on it without the correct massage tactic, this will not work but create alot of serum on the face. 
Overall with the correct technique, this product does work well erasing the dark spot on face, applying day and night, twice a day. 

The ODBO Gold Snail Cream ($115)

Formulated with Musin, a Snail Secretion Filtrate, Peptide, developed specifically to supply Moisturizes, Emollient and Physiological Active Agents to epidermis and remove rough surface, the Gold Snail Cream limits the uneven surface texture and improves the harsh, dry, or loose skin with wrinkles or dark shades with light feel. This combines with Gold, Bio-Ingredients and Botanical Extracts in fortifying healthy, vivid and balanced skin.

I love the soft feel after being totally absorb by my skin, and it makes my make up stay on my skin even longer after applied before I start to make up. 

 The above photo show little dot in the cream.. that is 24k gold. 
 
The texture

MKUP

Real Complexion Cream
賴床美白素顏霜
($24.90 from Qoo10, sasa etc) 

This product indicated in their website saying that 

Moisturizing & Whitening Skin Care Product Gives You Cosmetic Effect
Day Time - Use it as Foundation
( But No Need To Remove as it is a skin care product)

Night Time - Use it as Night Cream To Moisturize and Whiten Skin
Every Girl Can Become Sleeping Beauty 

2% Tranexamic Acid - Whitening & Nourishing Skin / Reducing Pores
4.5% Hyaluronic Acid - Keep Skin Hydrated, Supple & Radiant
7-In-1 Whitening Essence - Anti-aging and whitening effect to prevent the production of Melanin
Ceramide - Moisturizing & Enhancing Whitening Effect

if u have been watching their video on how they advertise on this product, you will have the urge to get yourself one. Who doesnt want a flawless complexion, esp no need make the moment you woke up.. However, the misleading videos and the way they market this product will lead to lots of disappointment in alot of ladies out there.

This recent very popular skin care prdt by MKUP has a very misleading video share among their website.
Don't get me wrong..this skincare does help whitens and correct uneven skin tone. friends with dull skin is definately a plus for them. And if you have a flawless skin... this will make your skin stay dewy effect whole day....
and since its a skincare prdt of cos it won't stain clothes la... U think SK piteria essence will stain clothes meh? .. *roll eye*

You do wanna take note that this is a skin care product its not a make up and its no where near or close to a foundation that can cover dark eye ring, pimples, scars, freckles or obvious fine line (like what the video show). If you look closely at the video... they draw the dark eye ring and pimple and of cos it will be remove after it apply this on. You seriously need a good concealer to cover all those marks that you wanna cover.

This MKUP skincare have a pink tone with it therefore it works well with uneven skin tone, just like those skin corrector primer in market (pink/purple for uneven tone, yellow for dull tone and green for reddish skin).

Anyone who wish to get this will have to know and take note that this is a SKINCARE... ITS NOT A MAKE UP it its a invisible foundation

Happy Buying......:)


 

 

 




The make up

Roller Lash by Benefit ($37 retail)
I was told that I can ditch the curler if I got this mascara... well, the wonder doesnt come true... It does require a curler before mascara, but after applying it, your curl stay all day. I love it as the mascara are quite long lasting. 

NAKED 2 - urban Decay (SGD80)
The perfect eye shadow, all colour are easy to use, simply love this. have been thinking long before purchasing it, since its abit pricely, but I bought this for $45 during time sales from Qoo.. ^^V

Twinkle dual liner - The faceShop
The shimmer of this liner was great, super love it. can either used it as eye shadow or liner. 



Shimmer eyeshadow - Etude House
This eyeshadow can act like a highlighter and the shimmer was fantastically shinning. 
I bought the shimmer pink. 


Slim Long Mascara - The FaceShop
This was given to me as free gift during my bday mth when I do my purchasing at faceshop, have not try this yet. 


Ready Action eye Liner - VDL (SGD15)
Ok, this eyeliner is just SUPER, its seriously smudge proof, when I try it on my hand, no matter how hard I try to wipe it after it dry, the colour just dont smudge, hope it stay well on my eyes too since its serum on our eye area. 


BrowCara - VDL ($18)
Its been awhile since I last used a brow cara, its alittle difficult to used at time. And it takes awhile for the liquid to dry up before u can head ur way out. But I love this colour, it contrast with my haircolour really well. It does makes me look more gentle in overall look.
