RMK Face Protector

Sunblock is a MUST everyday!

Now i'm using RMK Face Protector SPF 31 and i like it very much!

It is a water - base sun screen and its texture is succulent, fresh and light. It is fragrance free too!

It includes the following ingredients.
Aloe extract(Moisturizing component)
Cucumber extract(Moisturizing component)
Chamomile extract(Moisturizing component)

Apply a pearl size amount and spread it over the face and as a final touch, press face lightly with both palms to allow the product to penetrate. The finishing is non sticky and non oily which is very good for application of make up base and foundation. It hydrates the skin and block the damages cause by the UV rays.

Natural Tears

‘Natural Tears’ is a natural and low-priced cosmetics.

Kwon Sang-woo has started his own "Natural Tears" cosmetics company.

The name ‘Natural Tears’ was taken from Kwon Sang Woo’s own nickname ‘Mr Tears’ and Kwon Sang-Woo himself is the advertising model for ‘Natural Tears’. The first store was officially open in 4th Dec 2009 in Myeong Dong.

‘Natural Tears’ products are really cheap and from my last Korea trip, i bought the Dear Fresh Hydra Super Serum for about $10. It was going 30% off store wide that day.

This is a oil-free, hydrating serum suitable for oily skin according to the SA. It comes in a little glass bottle and on the bottle it says " Earth Marine Water keeps skin full of vitality and radiance. This not greasy rich formula leaves skin velvety smooth all day."

The texture is a transparent gel.

When its spread out evenly, it turns in to water-like. And just like what it says on the bottle, it is not greasy but i feel that it is not moisturizing enough. It smells like some perfume, very light and nice but usually i prefer my skincare products to be fragrance free but this was just too cheap to resist then. hah.

Other items bought from 'Natural Tears"
1. Line & Mode Auto Eyebrow
2. Still Full Mascara
3. Sheet Mask
4. Natural Eye Lashes

innisfree Mineral Skin BB Cream

innisfree Mineral Skin BB Cream, SPF 40PA++, Whitening and anti wrinkle, 40ml.

One of my hauls from Korea. innisfree is currently not available in Singapore but i do hope it will come into our little red dot soon.

The smell is the first thing that caught my attention. I'm not too sure what smell is that, some reviews say that its light lavander but it smell like some kind of herbs. Its very faint and light thou and i grow to like the smell.

The colour looks abit dark but upon applying, it blends well with my skintone to give a dewy and natural look. It provides medium coverage thus not able to achieve a flawless. The texture is creamy and watery, very easy to blend as compared to some other bb creams which are thicker and harder to blend.

hand blended with innisfree Mineral Skin BB Cream.

barehand.

I'm currently using it everyday as it fuss free with high SPF, decent coverage and did i tell you what i like best about this bb cream? Its oil control ability! As i plagued with oily skin and usualy my face looks oily and dark by the first break time at 10.30am but with innisfree Mineral Skin BB Cream, it can last another 2.5 hours long before i need to blot my face with oil control paper.

This is a must to repurchase if i have the chance.

Magic Enzyme Pack Peeling - Etude House

Magic Enzyme Pack Peeling - Etude House, one of the peeling product i bought from my recent Korea trip. On the bottle it says: Gommage treatment with enzyme and yogurt to exfoliate and nourish complexion, remove oil and dirt.

It comes in a cute little purple glass bottle with a plastic cap.

A liquid milky solution. Spread the lotion on face, allow product to absorb into skin by gently patting and leave on for 1 to 2 minutes.

After the solution has completely dried, gently rub off with hands and pieces of the product will start to ball up, rinse excess off with warm water. Use 1 to 2 times per week.

The product is hassle to remove. It took me alot of effort to rub my face to an extend that im worried that wrinkles will form. Even after washing with water, i still find tiny bits of it stuck in my face hair which really irritates me. After using this product, my skin is only slightly smoother. Im not going to repurchase this product and I hope to finish this product soon to start on the cute Appletox from Tony Moly.

RMK Recovery Gel

RMK Recovery Gel sample. It is a miniature of the actual size product.

It contains the following ingredients:
Yeast extract(Moisturizing component)
Kyonin extract(Moisturizing component)
Diptoassium Glycyrrhizinate (Anti-inflammatory)
Grapefruit Extract
Aloe Extract
Raspberry extract
Ceramide D

A refreshing and light grapefruit scent. The texture is gel with capsule bits. The gel works to recharge the skin with moisture and the capsules work on the damages and re-strengthen the skin. I use it after my daily skincare routine spreading it over my entire face until the capsules disappear. I've been using this sample for a week and i wake up the next morning with a soft and plump skin! It is light and yet moisturizing which is very suitable for me as i'm oily skin. I think this product is good for oily skin and for use during summer.

I'm still considering if i want to purchase this product as it is 6090 yen for 40g. The price is abit steep thou but i've got a feeling i might purchase it in the end!

Kanebo Blanchir Superior

Kanebo's Blanchir Superior series is a range of whitening product which combines cutting edge whitening technology and carefully grown oriental botanical.

I'm currently using the toner. This is actually my second bottle. This cost 5250yen for 280ml.

The texture is watery and it is slightly yellowish in colour. The scent is very very very light, almost fragrance free. I use it everyday after cleaning my face like a normal toner where i pour it on a cotton pad and wipe it in circular motions first then pat it around my face.

Next, i will use their star product, whitening conclusion. This cost 5250yen for 20ml. This bottle looks a little different from the one shown in the video clip as this the second generation with a double W approach which is マグノリグナン - Kanebo's original whitening ingredient and　バイサミン - Gamma, Amino, beta hydro-Kishi acid.

This is my second bottle too! 2 pumps per usage. First pump, i will spread it evenly around my whole face and for the second pump, i will target on the spots and pigmentation left behind by the hateful and never ending pimple on my skin. Or you can spread the second pump on the W-zone as taught by 牛耳 in the video clip.

On days when i have more time i do a quick mask buy pouring a substantial amount of toner on a 5-layers cotton pad. As per normal, i will wipe in circular motions followed by patting it around my face then separate the 5-layers cotton and place them each layer on my forehead, cheeks, chin and nose. Leave it on for 1 to 2 minutes will do.

This product works for me. I'm do not focus so much on whitening my face but the spots and pigmentation left behind my the pimples are bothering me quite abit and this product not only can it help to reduce the spots and pigmentation, it can helps to brighten my skin too. Even without make up, my face will not look dull.

我的美丽日记 - My Beauty Diary

我的美丽日记 - My Beauty Diary - Aloe Mask. This cost 17.90sgd from Guardian.

This box contains 10 sheets of aloe mask and it cost only 17.90 sgd from Guardian. Which means, per sheet of mask only cost 1.79sgd!!!! very cheap!

I use Aloe Mask when i have out breaks as it is able to help subside the redness a little. I've read some negative blog reviews about this mask but its doing fine for me and my boyfriend. I guess it sometimes depends on individual. Maybe it contains some ingredients not suitable to one's skin.

I heard there are pirated version of this 我的美丽日记 - My Beauty Diary selling in the market. Please do purchase them from reliable retailers like Guardian or Watsons.

Kose Cosmeport Clear Turn Eye Zone Mask Q10

Kose Cosmeport Clear Turn Eye Zone Mask Q10. This cost 1029yen. It is a pack of 18 pairs of eye mask. Which is pretty affordable, per pair cost about 81cent.

Kose Cosmeport Clear Turn Eye Zone Mask Q10 works like a facial sheet mask just that it is specifically for the under eye areas. The eye mask sheets are made of 100% cotton.

The packaging is like wet tissue wipes. I do have my concerns for its packaging as i always wonder if the moisture in the packet will evaporate over time? They do sell in a box of 5 pairs individually packed which cost 598yen. It is more economical for me to get the pack of 18pairs.

The above shows one sheet of the eye mask. I use this eye mask during the last step of my skincare regime. Just put the mask under the eye and ensure good contact with the skin. It stays pretty well on the skin and it does not slip off like some of the gel type eye mask which i've tried before. I use this mask 2 to 3 times a week and 15 to 20 minutes each time.

It contains coenzyme Q10 and glycerine which helps to add and maintain moisture in the skin and also fight the signs of aging. It replenishes the moisture which my eyes need and the lines under my eyes are not so obvious after that.

I'm not sure if i will repurchase this product again. I'm still on the hunt for better eye mask.
