April Quick Review

1) Chanel Light Revealing Whitening Makeup Base SPF35/ PA+++

Product Description
The fine pearl is the model of perfection and translucency that inspired the creation of the LE BLANC ritual.
The fresh and lightweight emulsion texture of the Bases is an ideal first layer for makeup and leaves the skin comfortable all day long. Combining light and color expertise, CHANEL recreates its must-have Bases. In their formula, the Pure White Mineral Ceramic Pigments target unbalanced skin undertones to reveal an immaculate radiance and a unified complexion.
Day after day, the Liquorice Extract regulates melanin production. The Pearl Protein Extract corrects dull and yellow-toned skins, illuminates and is known for its hydration property. The complexion is ready for a perfect application of LE BLANC foundations. An SPF 35 / PA +++ protects the skin from the damaging effects of the sun.

The sachet I owned, allowed me to use it for 4 times, 2 of which I cleansed it off immediately because it exacerbate the flakiness on my face badly. That said, I was having a bout of seborrheic dermatitis on an on-off basis during that period. It was considered at its healing stage when I used this base, howver, this make-up base accentuates all the flakiness. I cleansed it off and top up with a heavier moisturiser and everything appears fine.

There are 3 shades available in the market and 1 tube costs $81.
-The Rosée shade refreshes tired and dull complexions with a radiant dream glow.
-The Mimosa shade unifies uneven and shadowy complexions.
-The Lys shade brings an immaculate pearly glow to all complexions.



The Rosee shade that I owned, has a runny consistency with a slight greasy base. Touted to be oil-free and hydrating, I didn't really find it that moisturising on my skin. It brightens the skin slightly, giving me a soft dewy look. I looked fresher and more radiant!

2) Shiseido White Lucent Brightening Cleansing Foam

Product Description
A gentle purifying foam that effectively lifts away impurities and surface cells to help reduce melanin buildup and leave skin clean and bright. Gently prepare skin for the clarifying process and leaves it smooth, comfortable and hydrated

I used this 30ml product for 2 times only, thats why I categorized it into this Quick Review page. I don't like the super clean, squeaky feel on the hands, immediately after each wash. Its drying and very uncomfortable. However, I am surprised that my skin was fine, there was no tight feeling, redness or dry after-effects, which are what I usually experienced with cleansing foams.

Still, I rather be careful and refrain from using it much. It has a floral scent and has a mousse-like soft texture, that is pleasant to spread on the face as it lathers into a rich foam.

It scored 3.9 from 117 reviewers from Makeupalley

3)  Review : Beauty Credit Brown Rice Mask



Product Description
Washable mask made from natural germinated brown rice extracts, a popular skincare ingredient known to many Asian cultures. It is believed to contain many health benefits.

Benefits:
Germinated Brown Rice Mask Pack is a nourishingly good exfoliator for rough, dull skin conditions.
It brings vibrancy and elasticity back to your skin. Contains anti-oxidants that slow skin aging.
Restores elasticity while allowing ingredients to better penetrate the skin. Leaves your skin radiant and smooth, all day long!

A sachet I owned has given me 3 usages but thats because I spread it too generously during my first usage. I thought it was meant to be a mask as what the name implies, so I spread it all over the face.
It leave my skin smooth and soft but thats also in conjunction with the Clarins scrub I was using prior to that.However the smoothness did not last beyond a day.

Since it is meant as a exfoliator, I decided to use it on its own, as a scrub by massaging it into the skin and as amask by leaving it on the skin for a while before cleansing it off.
My skin felt and looked cleaner and brighter but again, the effects did not last beyond a day. Totally disappointed.
This product is off-white in colour and lightly scented. It is a mild exfoliater as it is quite creamy with tiny bits in it, which reminded me of rice.
