Skin food -Ginseng Mask review.

Rating: 3/5

Today I went to skin food to get my sister a pot of rice mask (which she said was good) but ended up buying the promotional pack. Today i will review the Ginseng mask which the sales said will balance skin tone and reduce yellowness of the skin in only 3-5 minutes.

Pros: does make the skin smoother afterwards and only require a short time. Smells of really strong Ginseng and has little beads for ex foliation.

Cons: too sticky and messy to apply.

Promotional pack

I will review this to day

Best sunscreen - Sofina & Biore plus how to choose sunscreen

Rating for Biore (cheaper option) & Sofina (higer end option) : 5/5 must TRY/buy

Sofina

$560/£46 for this whole set. face wash a small sunscreen and the big one

spf 50 PA+++

runny consistency

Love this sunscreen it is my absolutely favourite, would definitely repurchase (if it was cheaper lol). This was the best sunscreen recommendation from my beauty school and I am not surprised. It also acts as a moisturiser and also has whitening properties. It makes your skin so smooth after application and is not greasy at the slightest, love this so much.

Biore
This is also a favourite sunscreen that my sister brought.
Its a slightly cheaper option but is not disadvantaged at its property (it doesn't have whitening though). This is very thin and not greasy AT ALL. This is definitely a repurchase due to price.

What sunscreen to choose SPF vs PA?

Makeup base explained. Lovely Me-Ex (purple)

Rating: It's alright but tooo white once applied 

I have brought this make-up base as an emergency to my beauty lesson (we learnt about pre makeup-foundation this lesson). To be honest I had no idea what it is to begin with because I've always thought makeup base was a primer.But after a little research I soon got to know what it is.

Makeup base explanation:-
In summary a makeup base is a COLOURED primer which apparently acts like a barrier to makeup so its not so damaging to the skin when makeup is applied. The primary function of a makeup base is to tune and even out uneven skin tone and to fill in pores for a smoother complexion. The makeup base apparently changes/tune its colour to natural as soon as the foundation is applied.

There are the following colours for the following usage:

-Purple: to tone yellower skin/ sallow and dull skin during winter.-Green: to counteract redness, good for acne-prone skin to reduce flush.
-Blue: to enhance translucence.
-Pink: to brighten up your complexion, great for those with pale skin and thinner skin

Bioderma Makeup remover review

Rating: 4/5 will update after more usage

A Highly recommended product by the beauty school and students (thats why i gave it a try). I brought the large bottle in a promotion package (with face and eye cream) which came to $299/£24 and the small bottle was given free when i purchased a lip balm (not bad price).
This makeup remover does exactly what it says and removes a majority of the makeup applied to the face including waterproof. I have had quite sensitive skin lately but this was very soothing and is quick  and easy to use without being aggressive.

Crazy about Mascara! MJ extender review

Rating: Pending

This was one of the top mascara's that people have been going on and on about in my beauty school
(Literally everyone knows about it). I am like a typical Asian with short eye lashes so gave it a try which i could now proudly say that it is one of my first mascaras that I own (doesn't include mascaras that I tried i.e. samples, school mascaras etc).

Mascara wand

Omg I felt such a noob when I opened it because I have noticed loads of fibre lashes so thought that it was used as a tester =_=" and was on a verge of getting a refund =_=", its such an embarrassment to admit. I actually wiped all the fibre lashes off the wand completely after realising that maybe this is what gives the extension results.
ahahah will give feedback after using it.

PEELING FEET ALERT- Do not open if sensitive. Feet mask review

Rating: 9/10 would give higher if I didn't have to do the treatment for that long

I grabbed this feet mask as soon as I noticed that the sole of my feet was peeling. This was unusual because it never happens to me when i was in UK. This was roughly ($100) from sasa (roughly £8.30). The sales assistant said that it is normal for peeling to happen within two weeks after using this product.

Tape was given in the pack

Below shows some pics of the condition of my feet (before and after). Please do not scroll down if sensitive to pictures of feet/peeling skin.

Beauty Shopping- Erno Laszlo review

Sea mud soap 

Rating: 4/5 Rating lowered due to price and soap form

Had my first beauty lesson, was required to buy a few tools so went shopping.

Along the way i saw Ernos Laszlo (which gary recommended) so went in to buy a few things.

My Review:  Good but pricey for what it is.

The beta wash and Light controlling lotion was brought for my brother because he had really bad acne when he stayed in Hong Kong. It says that it is: The ultimate blemish-fighting, antiseptic gel cleanser and the lotion Reduces oiliness and pore-clogging debris to refine texture without over-drying.
All I could say for this is that the next day you could immediately see that the spots have died down and not so red, so yes I would say it is effective but rather expensive for a small bottle. 


My review: on The sea mud soap
I have used this for 3 months now everyday. This is said to:removes impurities, exfoliates for soft, smooth skin and promote radiance. This face soap was  highly recommend by my makeup teacher (thats why I brought some of their products). I have noticed that I have less breakouts than usual and a reduction in blackheads but it gives a really squeaky feeling once your face is washed.
This soap is quite long lasting however I don't like how it is in a form of a soap bar which is hard to store when wet. 


Repurchase: Hard to say due to price
