Review : Shiseido White Lucent Power Brightening Mask

Product Description
A powerful brightening face mask inspired by iontophoresis, a beauty treatment that saturates skin with a generous amount of beneficial ingredients to target spots and discoloration. A brilliant solution for radiant skin while diminishing the appearance of dark spots. Skin is bright, refreshed and moisturized.

• Soothes damaged skin with moisture
• Mask fits around facial contours, sealing in the mask essence for an optimal brightening effect

After a day out with my niece under the scorching hot sun at Gardens By The Bay, its time to replenish my skin with a brightening mask and Shiseido White Lucent Power Brightening Mask immediately comes to my mind. You can read my past reviews on Shiseido White Lucent Luminizing Infuser, Shiseido White Lucent Microtargeting Spot Corrector, White Lucent Luminizing Surge and White Lucent Multibright Night Cream.

Formulated without parabens, sulfates and phthalates, Shiseido White Lucent Power Brightening Mask is said to deliver the whitening ingredients deep into the skin through the power of Ion Force Technology, resulting in highly effective results.

The White Lucent Power Brightening Mask is made of a thick material and heavily soaked with essence, with an artificial odd scent that lingers. Unlike other masks, this sheet mask has no cutouts around the nose hence there is no gap, which is a good consideration, however the cutout at the eye area is pretty large, leaving the undereye area uncovered.

After a 25 minute treatment masking session, I can see my skin is literally glowing with radiance. My skin is softer, smoother and brighter looking.

If you have been looking for an effective brightening mask, Shiseido White Lucent Power Brightening Mask would be a good one to try. However, the price is high, so I would recommend you to reserve it for certain days when you really need to look good. If price is not a concern, go ahead and splurge on yourself - after all, that is what you work hard for.

Review : Skin Inc My Daily Dose ( Chlorella + Vitamin A )

Product Description
A Chlorella serum that reduces the appearance of dark spots and dullness for a clearer, brighter complexion—designed to mix (or blend) with two other Skin Inc serums to tackle multiple skin concerns in one. This renewing serum contains a nutrient-rich extract of the algae chlorella to help improve dullness and reduce the appearance of dark spots for an even, luminous skin tone. 

Product Description
Take on skin dullness, uneven skin tone and signs of exhaustion around the eyes and dark circles for a healthy look—designed to mix (or blend) with two other Skin Inc serums to tackle multiple skin concerns in one. This serum rich in vitamin A is designed to improve fatigue and skin dullness around the delicate eye area. It supports natural collagen production, blood flow, and circulation of the skin, resulting in a youthful-looking appearance.

A good friend of mine, has been wow-ing about Skin Inc products for awhile and so, I decided to pop in by the store during one of our chit-chat sessions together. I have previously tried out Skin Inc Pure Deepsea Hydrating Mask and Skin Inc Renew Coenzyme Q10 more than 4 years ago but wasn't overly impressed then so perhaps its time to revisit the brand.

Skin Inc is a Singapore brand but their products are made in Japan, with 0% paraben and 0% scent. It has won over 100 awards from renowned beauty authorities and insiders across the globe. Said to be suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, the brand is famed for their custom serums, with patented encapsulation technology from Japan. The caviar-inspired capsules protect active ingredients from exposure to light and oxidation, keeping them fresh and potent for maximum effectiveness. The serums are versatile and compatible with any skincare and makeup product which one can add them to masks, moisturisers, primer and foundations.

In the store, I was tasked to fill in a Skin Identity Questionaire ( Skin Inc’s proprietary self-diagnostic tool developed by Skin Inc scientists based on decades of skin aging research ) about my skin problems and concerns. Thereafter, I was given 2 x 5ml sizes of the Skin Inc Serum in Chlorella and Vitamin A and told to mix both together ( 3 drops from each bottle ) to be used. 

Word of mouth is really powerful, especially when it comes from those who are close to you and I am definitely glad to have revisited Skin Inc this time.

Review : A'Pieu Real Big Yoghurt One Bottle Smoothing Sheet Mask ( Apple )

Product Description
Yogurt extract and Lactobacillus components help strengthen skin barrier, helping to create a firm, healthy skin. L-Cell sheet with high transparency effectively conveying the active ingredient.

This is the last flavour in my A'Pieu Real Big Yoghurt One Bottle Sheet Mask stash. Comparing the plain flavour, strawberry flavour and apple flavour, I like the plain flavour the best, for its scent and effectiveness. 

Paraben-free and sulphate-free, A'Pieu Real Big Yoghurt One Bottle Sheet Mask ( Apple ) has a distinct artificially apple-scented fragrance although the fragrance becomes subtle after a while. Made of a thin and transparent L-Cell sheet mask material that boasts of excellent adherence and high moisture content, this Apple Sheet Mask helps to promote smoother skin from natural AHA ( chemical exfoliant ). AHA sloughs off dead skin cells and encourages faster cell turnover, resulting in healthy new skin. 

While the mask is totally soaked in essence while being pulled out of its packaging, there is no dripping messiness during layering, unlike some masks which kept dripping all the way to your neck. The cutting of the mask is more suited for smaller faces due to a shorter nose flap and slightly larger eye area and not being able to pull back all the way to the hairline and edges of my face. 

After a 25 minute treatment, I observed minimal dead cells on the surface of the skin, on my nose, where blackheads and whiteheads are aplenty. I use a cotton bud to gently rub it off. My skin looked slightly clearer and fresher too. 

Unfortunately, if you check the ingredient list, the concentration of their touted beneficial ingredients are pretty low in concentration, as they are mostly found at the bottom of the list. The only exception are Glycerine, a moisturiser, Betaine, a moisturiser and Hydroxyacetophenone, an antioxidant which are found in the middle of the list aka higher concentration. 

Glycerin : A humectant which works to moisturise the skin by drawing water from the air into the skin's outer layer. Forms a protective layer that helps to prevent moisture loss. 
Betaine : Helps skin to retain moisture due to its molecular structure. Reduce wrinkles on skin. Ability to smooth and soften the skin, reducing sensitivity to external irritants. 
Yoghurt : Lactic acid found in its composition accelerates the skin renewal processes and helps improve the moisture balance in skin, retaining softness, suppleness and a radiant and youthful looking appearance. 
Lactobacillius : strengthens the skin by aiding cell regeneration
Sodium Hyaluronate : sodium salt of Hyaluronic Acid, which is a humectant ( moisture-binding ingredient ) that keeps skin plump and hydrated.

Ingredients : 
Water, Propanediol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Hydroxyacetophenone, Glycerin, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Tromethamine, Betaine, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Butylene Glycol, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Fragrance, Ethylhexylglycerin, Polyglyceryl-10 Oleate, Disodium EDTA, Alcohol, Polysorbate 20, Lecithin, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract, Phenoxyethanol, Yogurt Extract, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Copper Tripeptide-1, Nicotinoyl Tripeptide-1, Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate Filtrate, Nonapeptide-1, Oligopeptide-29

Review : A'Pieu Real Big Yoghurt One Bottle Moisturizing Sheet Mask ( Plain )

Product Description
Deeply hydrating sheet mask enriched with yogurt extract and Lactobacillus. These 2 components help to strengthen your skin barrier by aiding cell regeneration which result in firm, healthy skin. With excellent adherence, the highly translucent L-cell sheet sticks perfectly on uneven areas without missing a spot, distributing the product to every nook and cranny of the face. The mask delivers active ingredients deep into the skin.

Key Ingredients :
Yoghurt extract : softens sebum, hydrates and nourishes skin
Lactobacillus : strengthens skin barrier and aids cell regeneration
Peach extract : prevents dehydration, keeps skin transparent and clear

Paraben-free and sulphate-free, this plain flavour from A'Pieu Real Big Yoghurt One Bottle Sheet Mask smells like Vitagen and Yakult with a slight whiff of medical scent. It soon dissipates once layered on skin. The sensation is very cooling and comfortable, which would be great in summer weather.

In terms of the cutting, its is more suited for smaller faces as the sheet mask cannot be stretched till the edges of my hairline. There is a slight gap at the undereye area and the nose area is alittle short too. However, the material which is made of L-Cell ( a blend of cupra, tencel and cellulose ) is transparent and adheres very well, without much shifting.

A'Pieu Real Big Yoghurt One Bottle Sheet Mask ( Plain ) is totally soaked in essence, hence do beware when you are tearing the packaging as you will be splashed with parts of the essence, found in the interior of the packaging. However, there is no dripping mess once layered on the skin.

In terms of ingredients, most of the touted ingredients are found in the bottom of the list, which meant the concentration is pretty low. Hydrixyacetophenone, an antioxidant, Glycerin and Betaine are higher up in the list, with a higher concentration.

Glycerin : A humectant which works to moisturise the skin by drawing water from the air into the skin's outer layer. Forms a protective layer that helps to prevent moisture loss. 
Betaine : Helps skin to retain moisture due to its molecular structure. Reduce wrinkles on skin. Ability to smooth and soften the skin, reducing sensitivity to external irritants. 
Yoghurt : Lactic acid found in its composition accelerates the skin renewal processes and helps improve the moisture balance in skin, retaining softness, suppleness and a radiant and youthful looking appearance. 
Lactobacillius : strengthens the skin by aiding cell regeneration
Sodium Hyaluronate : sodium salt of Hyaluronic Acid, which is a humectant ( moisture-binding ingredient ) that keeps skin plump and hydrated. 

Immediately after a 25 minute treatment session, my skin looked less tired and brimming with moisture. A great affordable mask for daily maintenance worth considering. I would prefer this over the strawberry flavour.

Review : A'Pieu Real Big Yoghurt One Bottle Soothing Sheet Mask ( Strawberry )

Product Description
Yoghurt extract and Lactobacillus components help to strengthen your skin barrier. Helping to create a firm and healthy skin. L-Cell sheet with high transparency effectively convey the active ingredient.

Paraben-free and sulphate-free, these A'pieu Real Big Yoghurt One Bottle Sheet Masks simply look too cute for words. Like what the name implies, it resembles a large yoghurt bottle, which reminds me of the popular Yakult bottles, a hit for both children and adults alike.

Full of essence, it actually spurts outs when I cut open the packaging. A'pieu Real Big Yoghurt One Bottle Sheet Mask ( Strawberry ) has a strong sweet scent of strawberry milk that still lingers even when its layered on my face.

Made of an unique L-cell sheet material which is a blend of cupra, tencel and cellulose, the sheet material is soft, thin and very wet. It can hold tons of moisture and provide great adherence for an extremely comfortable fit. Containing real yoghurt and strawberry extracts, it is said to strengthen skin and gives life to tired and dull skin.

Unfortunately, the cutting is more for smaller faces. The sheet mask does not stretch all the way to my hairline and there is a gap between my nose wings and the cheeks.

In terms of ingredients, most of the touted beneficial ingredients are found way at the bottom of the list with a lower concentration. However, others not mentioned such as Hydroxyacetophenone, an antioxidant, Glyercin and Betaine, moisturisers are higher in concentrations as they are found higher in the ingredient list.


Glycerin : A humectant which works to moisturise the skin by drawing water from the air into the skin's outer layer. Forms a protective layer that helps to prevent moisture loss. 
Betaine : Helps skin to retain moisture due to its molecular structure. Reduce wrinkles on skin. Ability to smooth and soften the skin, reducing sensitivity to external irritants. 
Yoghurt : Lactic acid found in its composition accelerates the skin renewal processes and helps improve the moisture balance in skin, retaining softness, suppleness and a radiant and youthful looking appearance. 
Lactobacillius : strengthens the skin by aiding cell regeneration
Sodium Hyaluronate : sodium salt of Hyaluronic Acid, which is a humectant ( moisture-binding ingredient ) that keeps skin plump and hydrated. 

After a 25 minute mask treatment, the redness on my skin has also subsided considerably, however the hydration ability is pretty moderate on my combination skin with surface dehydration skin type.
I presume it might work better for those with normal or oily skin.

And because of the affordability of the mask, A'pieu Real Big Yoghurt One Bottle Sheet Mask ( Strawberry ) would be great for those who mask everyday, without feeling the pinch in the pocket.

3 beauty secrets to looking good from Song Hye Kyo

You can't deny the beauty of Song Hye Kyo, even at the age of 34. Her flawless skin is envied by many and she has fronted Laneige for several years and now, Sulwhasoo. Both brands are manufactured by Amorepacific Group, a South Korean beauty conglomerate.

So what are her beauty secrets to looking so good and youthful? It turns out that she is an advocate of homemade facial masks. She is a fan of using honey and egg white in her DIY facial masking.

Honey is full of antioxidants and moisturising properties which can help to slow down signs of aging and plump up your skin. It is also a natural antibacterial agent which is great for acne treatment and prevention.

Egg whites helps to shrink your pores by tightening the skin.

Review : Lovemore Pearl & Red Barley Whitening Mask Sheet

Product Description
Formulated with deep ocean water found off the coast of Southern Taiwan, that is filled with essential minerals like magnesium, calcium and potassium, Lovemore Pearl and Red Barley Whitening Mask Sheet transforms dull, dehydrated skin into bright-looking, moisturised and even tone skin in 15 minutes.


Main Ingredients : 
Red Pearl Barley aka Job's Tears : brightens skin and is rich in skin-nourishing proteins and amino acids
Pearl : rich in antioxidants, stimulates collagen regeneration, and has a brightening and calming effect on the skin
Calendula : an anti-inflammatory flower that works to soothe and repair cracked and red skin
Mulberry : brightening and evening out skin discolorations

Formulated without parabens, sulfates and phthalates, I owned a sheet of Lovemore Pearl & Red Barley Whitening Mask Sheet which I used it recently.

The star ingredient, Pearl Barley ( also known as Job's Tears ) is packed with Vitamin C, B1 and B2, antioxidants and minerals that are great for brightening and smoothing benefits. Along with Pearl, which stimulates collagen regeneration, this mask fights aging, pigmentation and protects your skin from free radical damage.

Review : Lovemore Loofah & Aloe Vera Hydrating Mask Sheet

Product Description
Loofah and loofah seeds contain rich proteins, citrulline, xylan, vitamin B and C, saponins, linoleic, palmitic acid, glycerides and lecithin. Aloe Vera provides deep moisturizing and healing benefits.
Soft luxurious silk sheet masks for smooth radiant skin which is suitable for all skin types.

Lounging at my parents' place during weekend, I grabbed a sheet of the Lovemore Loofah and Aloe Vera Hydrating Mask Sheet and promptly layered on my face. Its been a while since I last used Lovemore masks although My Beauty Diary masks still remain as my first love, from Taiwan.

Battling a slight dehydration lately, meant that this sheet mask gets to do its job. I love the thin and comfortable 100% silk material which adheres like a 2nd skin to my face. The scent is very subtle and the cutting of the mask fits well except for a slight gap between cheeks to nose.

There was excess packaging though. Each sheet mask is enclosed between 2 protective layers - one in white and one in soft cotton blue. It would be great to reduce the protective layering although it may meant a difference to the brand identity.

I like how hydrating my skin feels, with a plump and supple look. Adding on to the reasonable price point, this mask would be good as a daily maintenance care without breaking the bank.

Review : Lovemore Platinum Eye Whitening Patch

Product Description
Epidermal pigmentation causes stubborn dark circles under eyes. Prevent melanin production with an extra boost of sparkle diamond powder and platinum extract. Bid goodbye to panda eyes!

Benefits : 
Platinum Extract and Diamond Powder : Luminizing
Snow Lotus and Transamin : Deep Whitening
Vitamin E and Vitamin K : Anti-Aging


I always believe that eyes are the windows to our soul so it is essential to keep our peepers bright and fresh. However, due to work and personal commitments, it is always hard to do so. Eye masks are formulated to target the periorbital area to minimize dark circles, early morning puffiness and wrinkles for this delicate area. It is more intensive than a daily eye treatment product as it works to counteract the effects of sun, poor sleep and dry, irritated and aging skin.

Joining Instagram has made me more aware of the various green beauty brands out there, since I don't have a green beauty friend around me. Osea comes highly recommended from the green beauty community so it was apt to get a travel set during Christmas as a gift for myself. Then again, I buy beauty products all year around, so its not exactly a gift. #justsaying
