Random..

Today received a Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid (SHA) Lotion sample. Think this is their best-selling product.



Recently also bought Ettusais Peeling Milk. It's an exfoliator and the smell of alcohol is really really strong. Will continue to try it out.


I have also bought The Face Shop's Fruit Garden Hand Lotion (Chamomile and Lilac). It smells really great and does a decent job in moisturizing my hand. Love it a lot! =)

That's all for today and I'll try to update my blog more often!

[Review] Innisfree Eco Natural Cover BB Cream

Got this BB cream a while ago on Gmarket Korea along with Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Clay Mask. It comes in 30 x 1ml sachets.



The seller only sell Shade #1, which is a bit fair to me. 



As you can see from the photos, the consistency is a little bit runny. However it has really good coverage and lasts all day long. Most importantly, it controls oil so well! It doesn't break me out as well. It would be my perfect BB cream if it's not so fair. Guess I'll probably buy a darker shade next time..

Rating: 9/10! (minus 1 for the fair shade)

P/S: I have PLENTY of this and maybe I can sell it to you if you want. If you are interested, you can leave a comment below or at the chat box on the right. =)

[Review] Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Clay Mask


Description from koreabb.com.sg:
New and highly raved series from Innisfree that contains clay clusters from Jeju Volcanic Island, Green Tea extracts and Mineral Water. This series especially targets clogged / oily / troubled skins as the volcanic clusters work effectively to deep cleanse and unclogs pore over regular use and improve and refines skin texture. GMO / Mineral Oil / Chemical / Alcohol / Triclosan / Benzophenone & Paraben Free.
Apply clay mask over entire face (avoiding eyes & mouth) especially paying attention to blemished areas. Wash off with warm water after 10-15 minutes. Use 1-2 times a week.


I got the travel-sized tube (15ml) from iheartkoreanbeauty


That's how it looks like when it's applied on the skin. The texture and colour is a little bit like BB cream. There isn't much scent to it. This mask is not as drying as other clay masks do and it doesn't crack nor makes your skin feels extremely tight. It is easy to wash off  using warm water too!

After using it for a few times, I find it to be quite useful to speed up the healing of blemishes. Can't see much effects on the pores though. Probably have to use it for a period of time first. I think this is really suitable for blemished skin or combinational-oily skin. I like it a lot and have bought 20 x 4ml sample sachets from Gmarket Korea! Also bought Innisfree Eco Natural Cover BB cream too! Will review on that next time.

[Review] Clinelle Blemish Clear




Bought Clinelle Blemish Clear for less than SGD10 during Guardian Roadshow at IMM. The description is as the picture below:


It has a gel like consistency. It goes transparent after you apply it on the face. So it can be used under make-up too!


Pros:

  • Heals pimples fast
  • Gel-like consistency so it's not visible
  • Does not leave scar
  • Does not dry out the skin
Cons:
  •  Does not work on some super huge pimples
So far I've only used it to heal pimples. Haven't tried to use it on the areas that are more blemished-prone and see whether it can reduce my pimple breakout. Anyone tried it before?

Rating: 8/10 =)

[Review] Innisfree Herb No Sebum Powder


Got this powder from a blogshop called iheartkoreanbeauty. It's from a korean brand called Innisfree and it's endorsed by SNSD's Yoona!!


This powder is supposed to keep the face less oily. The powder is white in colour but it's not visible after putting in on the face. It comes in a 5g jar.

And it does it's job well!! My T-zone usually shines 2-3 hours after cleansing, but with this, it only shines 4-5 hours after cleansing! Now I only have to blot my face once a day! It does not break me out too. Really love this product and highly recommend it to oily/combination skin babes!


Rating: 10/10!! Super love it!

[Review] Skinfood Aloe Sun BB Cream


*Pic taken from Skinfood website

Product Description:
An excellent soothing treatment with UV protection (SPF20 PA++), it especially suits people with sensitive skin. This cream leaves skin feeling moisturized while it corrects skin tone for a naturally air-brushed complexion.

Bought this BB cream at Skinfood in Malaysia last year for RM59.90, which is much cheaper than the retail price in Singapore (S$38) ! Heard from my friend that it's oil control is not bad, so I bought it hoping that it'll be suitable for my super oily skin. Here are my thoughts on this BB cream:

Oil Control - Slightly better than average. My nose starts to shine after 3-4 hours though.
Texture - Very easy to blend. Not too thick.
Coverage - Medium. Able to correct skin tone and cover some acne scars.
Finish - More to the matte side.

This BB cream is not greasy and does not break me out. I'm not impressed by the oil-control of this BB cream, although it does give me a matte finish when I first apply it. Think it'll be more suitable for people who does not have oily skin.
