2008-12-16T12:10:00.000-08:00

My favourite mask of all! This is a good mask for whitening and lightening acne scars!

Cacao Face Mask

2008-12-16T11:45:00.000-08:00

Bought this from Gmarket spree,this product is from Korea and smells like real chocolate i swear! Inside this picture,there are a chocolate face wash, chocolate mask, yellow soap and chocolate soap. Used this for a few time,always tempted to lick the mask off!Iam so mad about chocolates!Well back to my reviews,the chocolate mask is of a smooth and easy to apply consistency and works to whiten, clear acne and also acne scars as shown on the website,however after using for a few days i see not much effects, will continue using and review more.

Got this from a spree!Chocolate lipgloss from Amuse!It smells sweet and like real chocolate, the consistency is little sticky but bearable and give a nice glossy look. Perfect for casual outing as the color is quite nude to an earth tone.

2008-12-16T11:32:00.000-08:00

Another wonderful product from Bodyshop! This lipgloss is non sticky,glossy and smells nice, the main ingredient is passion fruit and you will get a nice pout after using it as it enhances your lip making it all pumped up and looks kissable!

2008-12-16T11:29:00.000-08:00

I use this brush for applying mineral foundations and it works great, the hair is super soft and it carry just the right amount of foundation.Best of all, it only cost $30 for such a good quality of brush. I am a Bodyshop fan!

Bodyshop Blusher Brush

2008-12-16T11:25:00.000-08:00

The hair for this brush is so incredibly soft and goes very well with my loreal blusher, it blends the colors so well i can see perfectly distributed pinkish colors on my cheeks unlike using with other poor quality and cheap brushes.

2008-12-16T11:17:00.000-08:00

A portable, stylish-looking pouch containing miniature versions of The Body Shop make-up Blusher Brush, Eye Shadow Brush, Slanted Brush and Lipstick/Concealer Brush. I bought this for my birthday month as it is with a 20% off!However i forgotten the price, think its around $20 odd after the discount.I love this brush kit as I can do so much with the brushes! The quality of the hairs are great, they're so soft and they make application so easy and mess-free! My fave is the brusher brush,it blends my brusher very well! This is a fantastic product!

Balo Cafe Slimming Cream

2008-12-16T11:10:00.000-08:00

Bought this from a blog shop at $15,its quite a big tube and takes forever to finish. it is quite creamy and smells choking.After application,i can see my skin getting red after a few minutes, went for a jog after applying this cream and man it really burns my skin!The hotness takes around an hour to subsides and you better not try this if you are not able to tolerate hotness.However it seem to have some effect on my thighs, can see my cellulite getting lesser after a few weeks, but i gave up as it is really too hot. Good for firming and slimming down.

2008-07-14T08:58:00.000-07:00

Sad to say it smudges..and not long staying also. Perhaps i got oily eyelids :(

Loreal True Match Minerals Foundation

2008-07-14T08:47:00.001-07:00

Kinda disappointed in this product, saw from forums that after applying bb cream,you can add on mineral foundation for better coverage,this is the first time i tried mineral foundations.I choose N5 honey glow,it was first tested on my hand and look perfect for my skin tone,however when i brush it on my face, nightmare begins..the brush is prickly and the hair sheds off easily,leaving me with a sticky face with lots of hair!
Colour is also darker than my neck and makes me look like i just had a sunburn!Lousy product! Will never ever buy this again!

BB Creams!!!

2008-07-14T06:31:00.000-07:00

What is BB Cream?

The BB Cream, aka Blemish Balm, is *the* hottest beauty product in Asia right now. The product was originated in Germany and used by dermatologists to help patients who have gone through laser skin surgery soothe and regenerate the skin.

Soon after, Korean celebs started using the cream and a craze was born. Big companies then took the idea and turned it into a product widely available to the public. The new product is suitable for all skin types, especially those with sensitive and acne-prone skin. It has the advantages of both a makeup and skincare product. It can even out skintone, camouflage undereye circles, acne scars and add radiance to the skin without the heavy mask-like effects of a foundation. Prolonged used of the product will also help improve the overall texture of the skin and fade acne scars.

My 1st encounter with BB cream

My 1st bb cream was a gift from my colleague,BRTC BB perfect Recover Balm,she was honeymooning in Korea and got me a tube,at 1st i was unaware of this product and was told that it is very popular and highly raved in Korea,being a beauty addict and always looking for good beauty buys,i bought the cream home and goggled for the product,gosh!There are so many good reviews and before and after picture,i was so tempted to try the cream!I clicked on a youtube video showing how to use it and followed.

This is the video

Reviews Of the BB cream i tested on

BRTC Perfect Recovery Blemish Balm

Properties
-Oil Control
-Soothes Blemishes
-Control Irritated Skin
-Coverage

The cream is rather thick in texture,have to apply moisturizer before the cream as it is rather hard to apply, however it is very effective in oil control,my face is not shiny after long hours of work and stay matt all day,coverage is ok as i can still see my acne scar after putting it on,have to use concealer to cover,however it win hands down by its healing propeties!After a month of usage, i can see my acne scar getting lighter! :)

Skin Food BB Cream in Aloe Vera ( Shade 2)

Properties
-Moisturizing
-soothes skin
-SPF 20

The consistency of the cream is much better than BRTC, i do not need to apply moisturizer and it is also very easy to apply the cream,the color is also very flattering and suits my skin tone deeply.Initially it is quite fair and looks fairer than my neck, few minutes later it actually blend into my skin and started to look really natural!This is a wonderful product i swear!

SKIN79 Pink Super Plus Sun(SPF25 PA++)& BB Triple Cream

Properties
- oil free
- Whitening Effect
- UV Protecting SPF25 PA ++
- Improves Wrinkles

I was attracted to the bb cream partly because of its packaging,its pink!!!I like pink since young and always been my fav colour. I have everything in pink! Pink hp, hp pouch,makeup pouch etc...i guess iam too into it,well, back to my review,The cream is easy to apply also, same texture like skinfood,has good coverage as it can cover my pores and acne scars really well,6 hours at work and it still stays on well!However i still like my skinfood aloe :)

Etude BB Bright Cream

Properties
-Nil

This works and feels like a moisturizer,not much need to apply moisturizer before the cream as it is rather easy to apply,not much oil control though,coverage is good as i can see my acne scars concealed after use,however not much effect is seen after a few month of usage,i can see my acne scars. Guess this is not a good one for healing properties.

Coogi Flowertox 3action Super BB Cream

Properties
-Nil

Another well raved bb cream!However the color is too fair for my liking,Oil control is not really good, can feel my face getting sticky after a few hours of application,coverage is thick but not good enough to cover my dark eye circles, unless you apply a thicker layer and some loose powder,it has a pleasant flowery smell compared to other bb creams as its main ingredient is flowers.

Skin 79 Gold Label Super BB Cream

Properties
- Whitening Effect
- UV Protecting SPF25 PA ++
- Improves Wrinkles

Same effects as SKIN79 Pink Super Plus.
