Reviews : Pure Smile MASK

Product: Pure Smile Diamond Essence Mask
(the one on the right side)
Price: 105 yen (SGD 1.60)
Mask is made in Korea















 As many of you know that I'm a air-stewardess/cabin crew, so I fly oversea and all. I always get to shop in Osaka. So on my last trip there, I was recommended by Kaito(colleague) about this mask. I google-d that not many tried the Diamond Essence Mask but maybe others.

Not only this masks are cheap, they are also good. It's worth more than that 105yen. I'm not sure how other users feel but to me, I love it. 






So basically the steps are:

1.Wash your face thoroughly
2.Put the mask on your face and shape the mask to your face shape
3.Leave it on for 15~20min. Then take it off slowly

Do not leave the mask on while you're asleep because it's not supposed to be the way. As instruction says, leave on for 15-20minutes with a reason to it. Many people are just plain lazy that they leave their mask on while they are asleep.

Pros:
-THIS MASK SMELLS AMAZING!! (most masks smell good)
-it was packed with essence
-felt nice on the skin
-after using it my skin felt like it was lifted
-skin color kind of evened out
-skin seems more plump
-enough leftover essence to work all over neck area

NO CONS FOR THIS MASK(:

OVERALL: 5/5

Here's a deal to my readers. If you wish to purchase this mask and you can't find it in Singapore, leave me a comment. I'm willing to help you to purchase it from Japan whenever I fly there. :) There's lot of different type of mask available. More than 10 choices!

Garnier- THE MIRACLE SKIN PERFECTOR

 
Garnier's The Miracle Skin Perfector.

It has been out in the market for quite a period of time and right now this is my favorite BB cream. Wondering why? Ill tell you why slowly. Continue reading on.

 Naked face. Pimples popping out like nobody business. 
I work as a cabin crew so most of the time, my face is always full of makeup. It's so thick and oily after wearing too long. 
With Garnier's the miracle skin perfecter on my skin.

To me, it’s the ultimate ‘comfort base’ - it feels like nothing on your skin, isn’t too matte, isn’t too dewy, has SPF 15, doesn’t enhance the dry patches on my chin or nose... it just looks like skin. The staying power is also great, as I can get a full 8 - 9 hours wear from it.

If you have bad breakouts or obvious skin issues that need a lot of coverage, this might not be the product for you, or you may need to use some concealer with it.  But if you’re like me and have reasonably okay skin with just the odd spot or mild redness, I would definitely recommend this BB Cream. It doesn’t make you look like a porcelain doll, but it does make you look even and naturally flawless.  While I don’t really want to delve too deeply into whether or not this is a true “BB Cream”, I can definitely say that it does feel like it serves it’s purpose as one:  it protects and hydrates the skin, provides coverage and acts as a great base for the rest of your make-up. The best part about this stuff though is that after a week of daily wear, my skin actually feels and looks a lot more smooth and even. Maybe it's a coincidence, but this is the only thing I have changed in my routine!

You can get it now from any watsons stores @ SGD 15.90! 

Product: 4/5
Coverage:2/5
Price: 3/5 
Overall:3.5/5

KIX KIX KIX KIX

I know I have been missing out too many updates so here I am to update all my readers:) Sorry to keep all of you waiting. There's still a few more post not posted up yet because I still need some time. Please continue visiting!

I'm back to work as mentions in the previous post. and for the month of August, I'm doing more of Japan, Osaka flights for the month of August. In total, I've 3 Osaka layovers. This may be something good and also bad.

Let's talk about the good.
1.More money and hours.
2.Short getaway(free)
3.Shopping

The Bad:
1.spend money
2.Tiring
3.Screw bodyclock

 Because of not working for almost 1 month, I was dying to do more flights so I can cover up whatever money I lost during the hospitalization leaves period. More flights = lesser rest. I was really tired and bad roommate for layover will make everything worst.

And on my last Osaka layover, 2 crews decided to report sick and caused the set of crew to change:( Spoil my plan of having my own room. DAMN! And Colin texted me to ask if I have any kakis who wants to go with me but that person has to be on off day. First person I thought of was Aries. Why her? Because we were chatting away in the group chat and I asked her. She wasn't really willing to because we are so happen to be heading out for high tea and if she were to go, mean no rest before flight and very last minute. But still, she agrees to go. Thank you for being willing to fly with me and accompany me. I've no idea how will it be like without someone I'm close with or someone I know.

This is Aries and myself.

I cant remember exactly where we took this but if I did not remember wrongly, it should be taken at a nearby place, Rinku Town. It was late at night and we supposed to be heading back. But I was telling her that there's wifi right outside the shopping center. So we decided to sit down out-of-nowhere and use the wifi. I've no idea how long we sat for. HAHA!

And it's a must to visit the drug store at Rinku Town. Why? Because the things they sell there, is much more cheaper. And you can find most of the items you want there. From cosmetics to facial product, to females daily use to diet pills, and etc. Aries was helping her friend to get KOSE product which happens to be on sale (30% discount). She recommended me this KOSE Peel-Off Mask.

Highlights:
  • Peel-off black whitening pack eliminates causes of dull complexion to maintain pure white clarity.
  • Formulated with black nano-powder that readily disperses on skin, adhering tightly as if bonding with the skin, thanks to excellent film-forming power. Fast-drying too.
  • Enriched with five Japanese and Chinese herbal extracts, including wormwood extract and gold-thread extract.
  • Soothing floral fragrance enhances therapeutic effect. 
 My point of view:
1. remove small facial hair ( no need to spend money on threading)
2.remove white/black heads
3.whitening effects
4.May hurts if you do know the right way to remove.
6.smooth skin 


 Here's a picture with me doing the mask.

Aries and I wanted to take a picture together but failed to do so. You should know that you are not supposed to talk/smile/laugh or whatever-so-ever while doing mask. But we just can't help it by laughing whenever we stare at the camera. So in the end, I gave up. One thing about my mask, I didn't apply very thick. You should apply thick enough that you don't see much of your skin. Let it dry natural, no aircon or fan please. 

Enough of facial product. Let me show you Japan's nightmarket (Pasar Malam).

This was taken from my room window. 

That's the train station and Kansai International Airport. Yes, I stay just few one building away from the airport. Anyway, Japan's fair is so different from what we have in Singapore. They have all sort of stuffs and even live concert going on. WEIRD RIGHT? I did not have a walk at the fair because it's way too crowded.

And what's the point of having Polaroid if I don't take any photo right? So here you go. We actually took a lot of Polaroid but just too unglam that I don't want to post it up :X I didn't have my self-shot mirror as Jiahao didn't return it back to me. So all the pictures was a little out of way. Some turns out good though.

I really thankful for Aries. If you weren't there with me, I'll probably die during work. She was really nice to give up her rest time on flight to me. (but she did complain after that). Gossip, do mask together, vain shot together and all the other stuffs. Thank you. Let's do this again during winter.

To end this post, I've got something for you.

WARNING! 
FOLLOWING PICTURES MIGHT BE A LITTLE DISGUSTING BUT... 
 I'M SURE IS WORTH IT!

Introducing to you 3D WHITE Professional Effects.
Whats this?
Crest 3D White Whitestrips Professional Effects is thin, flexible strips that are coated with a tooth whitening gel containing peroxide. Designed to conform to the shape of your teeth, they work by keeping the whitening gel on your teeth for 30 minutes once a day to get at stain build-up on and below the tooth’s surface.
So this is how awful my teeth is that makes me want to have white teeth. Ive already warn you for the disgusting photo! :X So I started doing my treatment. And this is a self treatment.

So this is how it looks like when I put it on. Its actually two pieces of strip.
After 1st treatment, you can see the differences between before and after. There's some white stain left because the bleach has not fully dissolve in. It will go away itself.

 
This is taken after the second treatment. What do you think?



The pictures of 2 treatment. Look at the different.

Personally, I find it very very effective but the bad side is...

1. is not suitable for sensitive teeth.
2.not advisable for daily use.
3.not used to it when using for first or second time.

During my very first use/treatment, I dare not to swallow my saliva. It tasted a little weird but I get used to it after the second/third treatment. I read the forum that you are not supposed to brush your teeth after the treatment. It will worsen the sensitivity of your teeth. My gum was hurting a little but its alright after awhile. So I would advise that all users to use it every two days once only. Please do not use more than 30minutes.

Overall, I will rate this product..

Effectiveness: 8/10
Price: 10/10
Comfort: 7/10

If you like to get this, you can order through amazon, but there's a limit that each person can get. You can't find it in Singapore. :) Still got more questions? Feel free to ask.

LACTACYD V-ZONE CARE REVIEW

This post is for girls only! :) (apology to guys)

Look what came into my mailbox few days ago :))

Lactacyd V-Zone Care: Only Lactacyd has Lactoserum and Lactic Acid that preserve your vagina’s natural defense against odor, itching and irritation to give you healthy cleansing and freshness. Lactacyd contains natural and mild cleansing ingredients extracted from milk. It provides a delicate cleansing action with natural deodorizing effect so gentle it can be safely used daily. And maintains the natural acidic pH and protects you from harmful organisms that may cause inflammation, itching, and unpleasant odor. 


The smell doesn't put you off at all. In fact, it smells quite similar to those hotel shampoo/shower gels. 
Also, your lady bits shouldn't be washed with something that either smells over-pungent of certain exotic scents since it's the most intimate and "fragile" part of a woman's body. I pour out a small amount, close to the size of a 10 cent coin, sprinkled a little water while in the shower. The after-effects are quite pleasing.
I will suggest that you place all the packets into a small bottle because you do not need so much everything you use it.



And also, You can get free sample (7 packets) from here, you can literally feel the clean-ness it provides. Despite after using this product in the shower hours later, I still do not feel any bad after- or side-effects. Really a good product that is a must for every female.
Proper hygiene of the V-zone is extremely important.
