[mission - Mask every 2 days] #2 | Naruko Tea Tree Shine Control & Blemish Clear Mask [review]

This is less than half of my sheet mask collection.

I'm determined to finish all of these before I end my semester in mid December hahaha.

***

Anyway, tonight I'm trying out the Naruko Tea Tree Shine Control & Blemish Clear Mask.

I wanted to try other types of mask, but my skin is kicking up a fuss lately, and thus, I'll use the calming stuff haha.

I was actually just planning to buy the night gelly, which I love!!! But happened to see this, so I decided to give this mask a go. I probably write a post on my sleeping masks/packs soon, so do watch out for it.

Taiwan No.1 Best Selling Mask! Wow! I think the My Beauty Diary masks are more popular if I'm not wrong hahaha...

First impression:
This is the first time i am using a black mask hehehe.. Smell wise, it's not strong but it smells like 'clinic'. You know those clean smell that substances in clinics and hospitals give. I dont know how to properly describe it LOL

Nice fit on the face and an important factor is if the mask can stay on my face while doing other things 😂 I cant sit still for 15min unless I'm sleeping or resting. Using the phone while lying down is bad bad bad for eyes.

This a picture of me wearing the mask.
To keep my anonymous identity online, I've pasted cute Moon stickers over myself. I'm #sorrynotsorry 🤓

After I took off the mask I patted in the remaining essence from the bag. I'm so touched cuz everything absorbed so well I've never encounted a mask like that 😭

Morning update:
Skin was so goooooood. Glowy and clear. (Except for the fact I still have some pimples on my face, which I know that facial masks can't clear in one night so I don't expect it but at least they looked less inflamed :D)

***

All-in-All:
LOVEEEEE. Hands down one of the best mask I've ever used. Will definitely repurchase and recommend.
Rating: ★★★★★ 5/5 

PROS: Great fit, serum not too drippy, serum absorbs completely into skin after removing mask, redness gone down next morning, mild fragrance

CONS: I can't think of any at the moment. Love this mask to bits.

[list] 'Sellies' #1

I have made a list of 'Sellies', the opposite of Empties haha, because skincare is so 'YMMV', most of the items I buy are usually highly raved on the internet but they just didn't work for me. So I sold them on Carousell or gave them away.

Sorry some images I went to find from official websites cuz I sold them and deleted the photos already haha.

Skinfood peach sake pore serum and toner

from https://theskinfood.us/

This was one of my first items in my skincare journey. Hoped to find something that controls oil and reduce the appearance of my pores. The Pore Serum was okay, my skin felt smooth for a while, but a while only and that's it lol. The toner, idk, I can't really recall anything about it because after using it once and I was like nope. It probably aggravated my skin. The fragrance was also pretty strong for my skin, so off to Carousell they went.

Innisfree Jeju volcanic pore toner 

from my old photos

Because the Peach Sake Pore toner didn't work for me, I bought this instead. I kinda liked this, skin felt smooth after using.. for a while only LOL. Did nothing to my pores. Did nothing for oil control. A little too heavily fragranced for my skin. I think this is a good product but too bad... Not for me. Sold it on Carousell.

Innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum and Green Tea Fresh Essence

from my old photos

I really wanted to like these items but... The fragrance was simply too strong for me. I'm sorry Innisfree. I'm sorry to say this but actually your whole Green Tea range was too heavily fragranced for my skin. It aggravated my skin. No more buying from this range for me.

COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All In One Cream

from https://sokoglam.com/

I love the Mucin Power Essence. And don't get me wrong, this one was pretty good too. But I find myself to never use this because most creams are too heavy for my 'oil-crater' face. I now switch to sleeping packs where I apply only before I sleep so the cream doesn't turn to grease haha. I gave this to my sister who was going overseas for 4 months.

CosRX Blackhead Power Liquid

from https://sokoglam.com/

I wanted to love this and I thought that I finally found a solution to my skin problems... But unfortunately it didn't. My skin didn't love this. When applied, it felt like a film on my skin and it felt like it's not being absorbed. After a while, my skin felt so god damn oily. It also aggravated my skin. Sad to say this despite the hype, off to Carousell it goes. But I'm keen to try their AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner hehe. Hope it works better.

Laneige Brush Pact Pore Blur

from https://www.sephora.sg/

WTF Laneige??!!? This is a scam lol.. The idea of the retractable brush + brush pact in one was great and nice for portability and I really loved the brush too but.. I couldn't pick up much product using the brush at all, let alone transfer it to my face. I sold it on Carousell. Too bad. I love your BB cushion but this was a fail purchase. For a great oil control pact, I would recommend the Son & Park Flawless Pore Pact. I'm gonna make a favourites list soon and will talk more about it.

Gillette Venus Spa Breeze Shaver

from my Carousell page

Ok I bought this cuz they ran out of the Embrace ones. Bad decision. Should have waited till the Embrace ones were back in stock. I give it the benefit of doubt. Maybe it works for shaving the legs, idk cuz I don't shave my legs LOL. But underarms wise, complete and absolute fail. The shave was not close enough. I might be using it wrongly, but nvm, selling the new ones, and going back to my Embrace cartridges.

***

And so this ends my Sellies #1. I have more experience in skincare and also hoard less now, so hopefully I don't have to sell stuff that I dislike anymore LOL. I'm currently writing my empties and favourites list so do look out for them soon :)

[mission - Mask every 2 days] START #1 | Mediheal Teatree care solution essential mask [review] + blog revival post

I've revived my blog!
Because, I want to document my new skincare mission. Mainly to clear my huge amount of sheet masks that I've collected/bought.

Today, I have probably around 100 sheet masks. Thats crazy hahaha. Therefore, I shall clear them all by sheet masking on alternate nights.

Recently, I have a new addiction which is applying sleeping pack/mask. So I'll apply those on the nights that I do not sheet mask.

And my mission shall start. Documentation-wise, I'll state what mask I'm using, why I chose this mask to use, why I bought it (or how I obtained it), how it feels and perhaps what is the result after using.

---

So, tonight I'm using Mediheal's Teatree Healing solution Essential mask.
Because I'm studying so hard, my skin is like sh*t now. Time to save it with some tea tree. I bought this cuz I saw that BTS vlive and saw Jhope using this LOL and I went to bought it. #lowkeyhighkeyarmy

hobi, the sunshine in BTS ^_^

First impression:
The mask feels so nice and it fits so well. Smell-wise, it smells kinda like an antiseptic. But it's the pleasant kind. Smells 'clean'. It's very mild, which I like. I can't stand and I think I'm allergic to stuff with strong fragrances hahaha. I'm so tempted to buy these BUT I'll repurchase when I finish my sheet mask collection HAHA. NO MORE HOARDING. Previously I used another Mediheal mask. It feels great too. I can see why Mediheal masks are so popular.

So, 2 nights later, I'll continue my sheet mask mission. See everyone again then :D

Morning update:
Skin looks less reddish and pimples are less inflamed than before I slept.
Good good! I don't think I can hold back on my itchy hands anymore. I gotta repurchase.


All-in-All:
Rating: ★★★★★ 5/5 I love this!

PROS: Great fit, feels great on skin, serum not too drippy, redness gone down next morning, mild fragrance

CONS: I can't think of any at the moment. haha

[online haul] Innisfree haul AGAIN!

Another online haul?!?!1
But I took advantage of the christmas offers on Qoo10, so you can say, I spent lesser than what would be if there wasn't the cart discounts X'D

I ordered from 2 different shops, so 2 different packages! I got Innisfree and CosRX stuffs.

My innisfree haul arrived first.
You guys are gonna scream, 'INNISFREE AGAIN?!' But there were some things I was really keen to try, so.. *nervous sweating*.

IN CASE YOU GUYS WERE WONDERING I'm not paid/hired/sponsored by innisfree LOL I'm just a really hardcore fan of theirs. :'D

So, the first box!

Innisfree Soybean Energy Essence [light]

I wanted to get this bby for such a long time! Then it was sold out on the Qoo10 store that I normally buy from :'( So I actually went to the stores in SG and they were not on display? Only one of the stores I went to had the original version. I'm starting to think that they're discontinuing this :'( But maybe they'll come up with something better :'D

I transferred some of this into a muji spray bottle so that I can spray it on my face directly then pat it in! I got this idea from another blog. That's the biggest reason why I wanted to get the light version cuz it's 'low viscous' enough to be sprayed out. X'D

Next is Innisfree's Eco science eye cream.

You can see from my ever growing beauty wish list that I have wanted to get an eye cream, but can't decide on which one LOL There were like at least 3 diff eye creams in my wish list?

Then you'll realise, this wasn't in my wish list at all? BECAUSE...After I found out about this on the innisfree.kr website, I added this to cart then proceeded to order already :'D (Of course, I googled for reviews ahahah)

What was the winning factor? Well 1, the fact that it ranked top 5 best seller in Innisfree's korean page and 2, the damn packaging.

Why why WHY THE F would you put something like eye cream in a tub, BEAUTY COMPANIESS WHY. It's so inhygenic, and even if you use something like a spatula, I feel like dust may fall into the tub too. And I certainly wouldn't wanna put something like dust near my eye :'D so there you have it.

But yknow, I was still really keen on trying out the rest of the eye cream, so I found out on the Qoo10 shop they sold the sample for the perfect 9 one and so...

I WAS SOLD!

Innisfree Perfect 9 repair special kit

Okay my biggest aim was the eye cream, but I was also keen on trying the lotion (again I love pump packagings SO MUCH) so it's a double. Also, I could use the cream for my neck hehe. But the skin toner, hmm, maybe I'll use it sometimes.

I was so shocked when I opened this cuz the bottles are BIG(ger) than the other kits I got last time :'D
Look at the difference ahahah

I should have gotten the Laneige time freeze kit also :'( But in the end I didn't cuz I didn't feel like spending too much. Maybe in the next haul!

***

I should stop spending omergaod
Anyway, look out for the next haul post on CosRX fams (FINALLY NOT INNISFREE HAHHAHA)
