LIYANSHIJIA Freezing Fresh Exquisite Pore Mask - Unique Freezing Cells

Price & Availability:

I got this from Renee in Lowyat.net at RM 1.50 per piece.

As far as I know, you can only get this mask from online dealers thou some offers C.O.D services.

Scent:

There is a scent but it isn't overwhelming so I am fine with it.

Essence:

Amount of essense was not stated.

However, rest assured that there are sufficient essence because I encountered almost too much of it, some of which dripped down my chin onto my tee. (boo factor because it made sheet masks which are supposed to be convenient to be a messy application)

Some other BOO factors:

*I have also no idea which country made this mask as it was not stated.

Lack of information is another major boo if you ask me. :(

While there was the word Korea there, I highly doubt it was made in Korea because all descriptions were either in broken English or Chinese characters.

**Also, I believe that even in Chinese, there isn't an ingredient list which I can't perform a check to see if any of their ingredient are comedogenic.

***The mask sheet was slightly greenish yellow in colour (think highlighter).

****The mask was packaged in such a way that it was difficult to unfold. Again the issue here is messy application.

YAY factors:

• I bought this mask because the bf recently commented about my pores. I turned to this mask because sellers recommended using this mask to tighten the pores after extracting blackheads or whiteheads using peel-off masks. Guess what? IT WORKS! My pores was reduced. However, this is not a miracle mask so I do believe that you need more than one application for the effect to last. Plus, it doesn't mean that the pores are gone.. just less visible. :)

• After 15 - 20 minutes of application, my face felt instantly clean and refreshed! I guess it's because of the minty feeling. (think mint toothpaste and how it refreshes your breath!) Owh, and the face feels softer too!
  

• Makes my skin less oily

• Hydrated my skin well! After cleansing, sometimes there are some part of my face which will peel. After using this mask, the flakes disappears. :)

• It also *slightly* reduced redness of the inflammed acne on my skin.

• The mask covers eye areas which sort of a bonus? Well, it can be a 2-in-1 mask right?

  *with one eye flap opened so you can see how this mask incorporates the eye area

Repurchase:
Well, yeah it could be messy; but at RM 1.50 per piece (and Renee offers C.O.D services), the answer is a big Y.E.S!
Smaller pores here I come! ;P

19 on 19

Knock... knock... anyone still there?

Firstly I would like to apologize for the hiatus. (yeah I am sick of looking at the bottle of Silky Girl Hydra Clean MakeUp Remover post on my blog too... it's been there for almost too long. :P)

I had been relatively busy dealing with assignments over assignments week after week implying so much to do within so little time.

Nevertheless, I am having a short breather now so I wanted to update my blog :)

To those of you who don't know, I recently turned 19.

While sounds all wee~ having a report proposal and 3000 words essay incorporated somewhere in the event dampens my joy. :(

Anyway, this is just a simple post that I would like to dedicate my gratitude to.

For the greatings regardless of sms, phone calls, facebook messages, msns, face-to-face ones, I deeply appreciate it (honestly, it's the thought that counts!). Also, for the Dim Sum, Seafood Dinner, Birthday Cake, Western Lunch at The Ship and the bouquet of roses.

Those of you who were involved in any of the activity stated above, trust me, I deeply appreciated it!

Last but certainly not least, I would like to thank:

TRACLYN YEOH

Because not only did she stay up to wish me despite facing a hectic job and missing all her beauty sleep, she also sent me a parcel which made my heart jump in joy when I saw it.

Once again, thank you all!

Though I had loads of frustration handling my assignments, it meant so much to me that you people help me get through this special day just by being so thoughtful. :)

SILKYGIRL Hydra Clean Makeup Remover

What I Like about this Product:

• The mild and gentle formula which is light and does not leave a greasy feel after washing it off
  
• It removes almost all traces of makeup (both waterproof and non waterproof)
• you will need a longer time with waterproof mascara
  
• Although it doesn't leave any greasy feeling, it seems to leave my skin really soft and calm
• It didn't break me out or cause me any irritations nor does it flake my skin dry
  
• It contains Vitamin E and Aloe Vera Extract (maybe that's why my skin feels so soft after using this!)
• One step to remove all face, eyes and apparently lip makeup
• unlike other eye & lip make up removers which is too oily to remove face makeup
  
• It's reasonably priced! RM 15.90 for a 165 ml bottle
• not as cheap as Charcoal Cleansing Cream from Daiso thou :P

What I Dislike about this Product:

• it clouds my vision!
• no matter how hard I shut my eyes, it still clouds my vision! its not sore or painful but its irritating! thankfully, it goes off after a short while
• It contains grape seed oil (moderately comedogenic) & mineral oil (mildly comedogenic)
  
•  but it didn't cause me any irritations so I'm fine with it
  
• You need to use a cloth to wipe your entire face (they recommend using cotton pad but cloth seem to be more environmental friendly) after washing the product off
  
• your cloth will be filled with makeup residue but after one wipe, your face is clean. I guess this product breaks down the makeup so it could be easily swiped off your face?

Conclusion:

I definitely prefer this as compare to Charcoal Cleansing Cream from Daiso because this one doesn't leave any greasy feeling. I really love how soft my face feels after using this product. Both products clouds my vision.. is this how lotion makeup remover works?

Repurchase? Maybe. Though it doesn't remove waterproof mascara well (it removes all my mascara except Maybelline Volum' Express Cats Eye), I think it works pretty decent for its price. I would definitely repurchase this when it's on sale but I also want to try ZA Deep Cleansing Oil badly.
