My Konjac Sponge New Packaging

Awwwww!!!

I'm so happy looking at the mail today as My Konjac Sponge has surprised me with 2 of their item. I love all of their sponges, none of them are bad. Every single one of them is usable, soft and so friendly on our skin.

So far I've been using the sponge in so many ways possible. From cleansing the face with sponge and just water, with cleansing foam, for the body, to remove mask, as a compress when one's having a fever / cool off, to gently exfoliate the skin, to play with (come on! Nothing beats a gooey thing in the tub), and many more.

-

See my previous post for this particular product HERE and for the body HERE, where they come in different packaging.

The front part no longer with Hangeul but simply all English. The main attraction for me is the back side.

-

For me it is much more informative and eye-catching.

Below is the one for the body, green and I just love them. The waves are perfect for grabbing, since the body area is bigger, I need a bigger sponge too, but still in the same soft jelly sensation.

-

I literally thought My Konjac Sponge will be somewhat the same with any other sponge or at least a few, but I'm wrong. My Konjac Sponge so far has won my heart from their softness, gentleness, can widely usable and the very very friendly to the skin. Other product I've tried is either too harsh on the skin, too hard, smells weird and chemical, doesn't absorb water as much as My Konjac Sponge, and cause sensitivity around the cheeks as well.

Some may last longer but just because none of us (in the family) wants to use it. Different story with My Konjac Sponge where everyone in the family take turns and everybody really want to use it.

-

So for now, me and my family, it's My Konjac Sponge ^__^

Try one yourself and have fun!!!!

Estee Lauder Take It Away Gentle Cleansing Milk

Hi everyone,

in beauty world, cleansing is one of the crucial step that ones must able to conquer. As cleansing removes all debris, leftovers, sebum, dirt and everything that clogged the pores so the skin is ready for pampering and get the nourishment they deserve.

That's why cleaning is important, where every tiny particles left behind (when cleaning haven't been done properly) it will lead the skin to be dull, lack of nutrition, clogged pores makes bigger pores, acne, oily skin, dry skin, and many more other problems.

What is the worst thing that can be left behind un-cleaned? Makeup traces.

This gentle cleansing milk from Estee Lauder helps to remove all makeups, including waterproof. The citrus infused milky lotion able to clean thoroughly but I find it uncomfortable to be used on the eyes to clean mascara and eyeliners are the lotion for me is not eye-friendly.

But for the rest of the face the cleansing milk works just fine and wonderful. The skin doesn't feel any sting, sensitivity, nor harsh chemical on it. Leaving the skin feeling clean and supple. Use a toner afterward or use facial foam to help remove the leftovers and give the skin a fresher feeling.

The dark blue bottle is luxurious with gold accent and the pump is just lovely. When other brands sometime gives too much in a pump, Estee Lauder Take It Away Gentle Cleansing Milk gives just enough and a little of them do goes along the way.

Belif First Aid Anti-hangover Soothing Mask

Hi babes,

I am in love with belif, and lately they re-assuring me to keep being in love with their stuffs.

Details from http://global.belifcosmetic.com

A fresh, clear, gel soothing mask that calms and relieves sensitive and stressed skin. Formulated with Chamomile that has a powerful calming effect and Xylitol soothing capsules that prevent skin troubles.

Mineral oil, Synthetic fragrance, Synthetic dyes, Synthetic preservatives, Animal-origin ingredients.

When your skin needs soothing, gently apply to the entire face after skin toner. Keep the mask in the refrigerator for about five minutes for an extra cooling sensation, which will calm your tired skin and reduce facial swelling in the evening or the next morning after a night out.

I know for sure I'm hooked just by reading on the details. Being a mom and beauty blogger plus a full time housewife means, sleeping is indeed one of life's greatest treasure that often so damn difficult to get. Waking up so early in the morning while spending the night before writing is just my normal activity. Events and go-to's is like adding more to-do's in my routine which in the beginning already so full. If my chores has a checklist, it is endless . . . literally.

So, I need this thing, I need this mask badly and it never hurt that they come in the most skin friendliest possible. Simple, pure and delightful.




Those tiny dots are not blurs, it was the white dots mentioned in the details as xylitol soothing capsules. The gel? Those clear cooling gel is temptations, if they have one in a bathtub size, I'm definitely going in.

Always put this mask inside the fridge and get that invigorating icy cold gel that's not just anti-hangover but waking you up in an instant. Like a cold compress. Imagine a hot lazy day when people feels so un-energized due to the heat. This mask will make everyone says, "Hello, I'm ready!"

 

I'm using it on a cleaned tones face. Best to be used on an exhausted face and see the amazing instant result.

The gel is super cool and feels so good on the skin. I love the calming herbal scent.

 

As I applied generally and making sure all the parts get some action, the xylitol is bursting and disappearing. Waiting 10-15 minutes is meaningless, the mask is super comfortable 30 minutes usually flies away in a zippy.

The gel will dries up and a bit sticky, I usually rinse them off with water (room temp). And the result?





A perkier skin. Literally. I can feel a pull outwardly and it gives my skin  . . . perk-effect. Firm and away from those hangover/lose sleep/exhausted and tiredness. I can feel the skin getting tighter and it looks tighter too. This is wonderful. I understand why they are called Anti-hangover soothing mask, for it's soothing abilities, comforting and wake the skin up to be ready for the day.

Must try and must have as well!

The mask can be used in the morning to wake you up. At day time when the sun is scorching hot and be cool. In the afternoon when you want to relax and take a nap, then waking up with a very energetic skin. At night before a date or a romantic night and you don't want to be looked like crap exhausted. This mask is amazing and how or when or who you want to use it by/with is just a matter of creativity and everything is possible. Love 'em!

SK-II StemPower Moisturizer

Hello lovelies,

this particular item start available since last year, and after trying the product for some time, here's my review regarding SK-II Stem Power Moisturizer.

 

1 jar of a 50 gr of luxurious moisturizer is in my hand. The tube is red, daring red, like Christmas red ^__^

Inside? A white creamy moisturizer.
-

Details from www.sk-ii.com.sg

I use it around this much every single time. So far, I've been using the moisturizer with other brand as well as with other SK-II items. Indeed when used with other SK-II products they will work well as a synchronized system However, I found the moisturizer to be pretty friendly to be used with other brands and range as well.

The cream have a faint smell of yeast, very faint, I found the FTE to be much stronger for the nose. The cream is easy to be used and on the skin feels soft and smooth too. A bit rich but doesn't cause my skin to look oily nor feel oily. Easily absorbed and feels light on the skin.

My pores do seems to be less visible and the overall skin looks firmer too. The moisturizer calms the skin with hydration and gives bouncy effect as well. A must try item for everyone who want some firming action on their skin. Best to be used with other products from SK-II.

Estee Lauder Signature Silky Powder Blush (Radiant Peach, TenderPetal, Pink Kiss, Radiant Berry) Deluxe Blush Compact

Good afternoon everyone....

heehee I'm just presumed that you all reading this blog in the afternoon, since where I am it's very dark and cloudy. It's in the middle of the day yet feels like afternoon ^__--

I've been using this particular item from some time and enjoy them, Estee Lauder Deluxe Blush Compact since it comes in 4 shades for blush and I can use it individually or mixed it for a different gradation.

Tender Petal is actually like soft roseose and Radiant Berry is similar to brick red, somehow on the picture with my camera they look like lavender and purple.

-

"Feather-light powder blush sweeps on silky-sheer, builds to full color. Easily goes from barely blushing to full intensity, just like your natural cheek color. Highlights and defines your face with a bloom of fresh color. Never looks heavy or streaky. Natural-looking shades give cheeks a soft, healthy glow. Buildable, extended-wear color stays true.

Estée Lauder Signature Silky Powder Blush. Make great color your signature."

I love the big mirror, that's definitely a bonus point and the powder is soft, not ultra soft like one particular brand I know, but still considered quite soft. And best of all the color come faint on the first swipe but buildable. So I can either way, very natural to dramatic look.  

This is me using the Pink Kiss. Perfect for a romantic date or when love is just around ^__^

 

Radiant Peach.

When I want things done, especially used during meetings and formal occasion.

and lastly,

me with Tender Petal

The blush is really tender and delicate. Suitable for daily use, just a tad of petal on the cheeks and stays pretty.

For the Radiant Berry, I didn't have an image of me using it heehee, sorry, for me the shade is quite serious, let me give you a swatch then.

 

The image taken with iPhone is actually better, showing them, their true color.

I found the packaging of the mask to be quite cute and adorable too. A good quality container and the mask as well. Designed with cartoons of the highlighted ingredients and of course, Becky!
-

The product said to be hydrating, moisturizing, absorb, and give full coverage for the entire face with no irritation. I'm so opt to the 'no irritation' thingy since a lot of facial mask like these do gives me irritation (especially around the sensitive cheeks).

Usage: Apply mask to face, gently smooth our trapped air. Leave for 10-15 minutes. Remove mask and gently pat remaining essence to be absorbed completely.

-

 

The quality of the paper mask is cottony soft and feels really good on the skin, like I never want to go back to those cheap papers ever again. The ear hole on the sides are perfect to stretch horizontally and the one below to pull the chin up.
-

Thanks to the flexible material the mask can fit nicely to the contour of my face, my husband, my mom, and my sister. Yes, I'm making sure the mask fit any adult and any gender. All of us experience zero irritation, just like mentioned in the packaging ^__^
-

After the mask is put on don't forget to push the bubbles out, in the picture above the bubbles are seen at my forehead. So the mask can fully cover the face and let the nutrients absorbed by every skin cells available. The mask somehow smells like ginseng. Very juicy and there's even so many leftover inside the envelop, I know that the instruction says 10-15 minutes but the bountiful liquid made the mask able to stay on the face for 30 minutes or so and still not dried.
-

Result after usage at least 15 minutes? A moist and hydrated skin, the mask is indeed pampering the skin in terms of hydration. It helps plumping up the skin so the lines look less visible.  Suitable for daily use.

20 Marvelous Results for

Hair, Face & Body

Uniquely low in mineral content yet rich in trace minerals to ensure 2X cooling, soothing, softening, moisturizing and anti-irritating effects.

Ideal for all skin types, Bio-essence Bio-Spring Water is the coolest spring water that yields the best soothing, anti-irritation and calming effects on skin. Adapting unique Bio-technology to combine Spring Water and Bio-Energy Fluid, Bio- Spring Water contains trace mineral to create energy to stimulate blood and oxygen circulation.

And they generously handed me one 100 ml bottle and three 25 ml to be shared with some beauty bloggers I know.

-

On the leaflet there's also some testimonial where the Miracle Bio Water  reduced eye bags and dark circles within 5 minutes. Firming, smoothen, reducing pores and acne within 2 minutes and other benefits such as reducing oiliness, pores and sagging skin.

-

This is me after using Bio Spring Water. The lid is a bit tight and need a bit more energy to open it. The sprayer is lovely, it help producing tiny particles so it helps me not to over sprayed it and get drench-ly wet. I'm using it as an all over hair, face and body spray and found them quite convenient everywhere. Outdoor as a soother for the skin from the heat or polluted air. Indoor as a hydrating agent from air conditioner and irritants. The Spring Water feels comfortable on my skin but tingling for those with very dry skin like my husband's. His skin is very sensitive as well.

In a matter of 5 minutes BIO Spring Water able to give me a fairer looking skin, firmer and looks rejuvenated. My husband on the other hand gets hydration, suppler skin and relaxing some tense nerves on his face.

On the hair, for me it gives them a fresher feeling but haven't see any result in taking care of split ends.

For the body, it gives me instant cooling effect, softer skin and light hydration feeling. I haven't try it on damage skin.

I let the whole family try this Spring Water and for me, my husband and my daughter, we all enjoy using it as an overall spritz that can be use all over hair, body and face. We put one in our car as well since the air in the car can be quite dry and it help lifted our skin just like an after shower feeling.

I recommend the product for those who are looking for a simple way to get hydrated, refreshed and rejuvenated instantly and all over the face, body and hair. Result may vary in some people but I think anyone can have their benefits from Miracle Bio Water.

They come in 4 range for different skin need, I get mine in Extra Moist and in Scrub. Other variant such as the one for oily and acne skin are also available at major supermarket and drug store (all over Singapore).

-

These are mine, I love them, the packaging really like the one I saw in Japan, very neat, soft and luxurious (Biore? Luxurious? Touch them and you'll understand what I mean).

The Extra Moist Biore Facial Foam is for dry and dehydrated skin (mine).

"Dry, dehydrated skin needs a creamy and gentle cleanser that softly cleanses without irritating the skin, and provides moisture to the dry, flaky areas."

Biore Facial Foam Scrub (pink one) is for all skin types.

"Accumulated oil, impurities and dead skin cells can clog pores and make your skin look rough, dull and lifeless. Reveal healthy, glowing skin with this cleansing scrub that is gentle enough for daily use."

-

These are the product inside each packaging. The Extra Moist Cleanser that shaped like a gooey mochi after poured down at the table. The scrub is creamy, white and have tiny pink dots. They both smell wonderful.

The mochi smell lovely, sweet and comforting, while the scrub smell refreshingly floral.

Extra Moist Cleanser feels so soft, delicate and thick, the scrub feels slightly rough, creamy and less thick compared to the extra moist.

The close up image of the scrub. Look at those tiny pink dots, so tiny and friendly to the skin.

This is the Extra Moist, look how gooey it is, like melted marshmallow. I love the texture, everything that's looks like condensed milk is always good \(^^\)

For reviewing purposes I put the scrub on my right cheek and Extra Moist on my left cheek. Where later the right side will be cleaned using Scrub and the whole left side with Extra Moist.

Granular scrub, I dropped gently to clean the pores and dead skin cells.

●
No rough
  To the skin of slippery.

●
It is elegant and refreshing
  Floral scent

Extra Moist

Even though it was fully feeling down,
Mochi mochi that I moist
To the skin.
(※ blended component moisture protection)

●
It is elegant and delicate sweet
  Floral scent


※ sorbitol


Moisture Rich

 

 

Both are comfortable and cleanse the face gently. While the Scrub have granules the Extra Moist is so smooth and gentle to the skin. It makes my skin so slippery and moist. The Scrub offer deeper cleansing without the squeaky effect, this is lovely!


 

 

 My cheeks are sensitive, the scrub is a bit tingling on my cheeks only, I like them at my nose where they clean the pores better. The Extra Moist feels so nourishing and I can see myself using it everyday. This is definitely my new favorite cleanser that cleans without striping off my natural skin condition.

I'll keep using the Scrub 2-3 times a week and Extra Moist daily to achieve a mochi-like skin, clean from all debris and feels so moist (~^o^~)

Tips:
1. Always make sure the face is wet and make abundant of foam before applying them to the face. It's the foam that cleanse, not the 'raw' product. The soft, fluffy, foam will easily be created with Extra Moist. Bouncy and very cute. Like a fluffy white bunny.
2. Gently massage the skin with the foam (for Extra Moist) and for the Scrub, make sure the areas such as nose, the one with larger pores, get thoroughly scrubbed.
3. Rinse it well.
4. Use toner afterwards, serum and moisturizer of your choice, after all, cleansing is only a part of making a skin nourished, protected and comfortable. The whole routine is needed.

Thank you Biore Singapore.
