[ Review ] Faith in Face Eye Am Not Tired

 

Product Description

Faith in Face Eye Am Not Tired Multi-function eye masks that help soothe, moisturize, reduce under-eye circles, puffiness, wrinkles and fine lines. 

I chanced upon this box of eye masks when I was in Watsons at Midvalley Southkey, JB Malaysia and purchased them immediately since I didn't notice these in Singapore. Thought it would be a good time for use before Chinese New Year. 

Established in 2009 by five cosmetic experts from Korea, Canada and the U.K., Faith in Face boldly asserts that it's here to "save your face." Rather than promising to change one's face or touting a miracle cure, Faith in Face focuses on bringing out the hidden individual beauty of each woman with its high-quality cosmetics and masks. Faith in Face seeks a balance between natural and chemical ingredients, and offers beauty-enhancing products at affordable price points. The retro-inspired packaging echoes the brand's back-to-basics approach. 

Packaging, Scent and Texture

Faith in Face Eye Am Not Tired comes in a box with 4 individually packed aluminum foil sheets. Once you tear open the aluminum foil sheet, there is a plastic clam shell containing a pair of crescent moon shaped eye patches. 

The eye patches have a subtle broccoli scent and the hydrogel eye masks adhere pretty on my undereye area without much slippage.

How To Use :

1. After cleansing, wipe off skin with toner.

2. Remove the film of the patch and attach to eye area.

3. Remove the patch after 30 minutes, and tap the remaining essence for absorption.

Performance and Ingredients

Said to provide brightening and firming care to tired skin around eyes with flax seed extract, broccoli extract, walnut extract, Faith in Face Eye Am Not Tired are made of hydrogels which are easy to use on the undereye area. 

These hydrogels are soft and almost sponge-y with a cooling and refreshing sensation.They adhered very well and do not slip even after an hour, however, I can feel the "tight" adhesion on skin although it wasn't uncomfortable. These patches got thinner after usage. 

After 30 minutes to 1 hour of usage, my overall eye area looked more refreshed and less tired-looking, however the results were not consistent.

[ Review ] One Thing Bifida Ferment Lysate

 

Product Description

One Thing Bifida Ferment Lysate is a probiotic-rich toner and essence that helps to boost skin immunity and rejuvenate skin. It is infused with bifida ferment lysate, an ingredient capable of replenishing skin moisture, boosting skin’s resilience against external aggressors and promoting skin cell turnover for plump and healthy skin. The lightweight and quick-absorbent formula leaves a refreshing finish.

After hearing so much about One Thing on Instagram, I finally caved in and purchased a bottle on Yesstyle. I love their short ingredient list. Unfortunately, the product is no longer available at time of writing. 

Korean skin care brand ONE THING simplifies its product formulations by finding that “one thing” – the one ingredient skin needs. It values transparency and promotes rational consumption, eliminating all unnecessary costs to focus on the safety and efficacy of its 100% Korean-made products. Bestsellers include the Centella Asiatica Extract Toner, Houttuynia Cordata Extract Toner and Niacinamide 10% Toner.

Packaging, Scent and Texture

One Thing Bifida Ferment Lysate is paraben-free, colour-free, alcohol-free and fragrance-free. It has a sleek minimalistic vibe, housed in a 150ml slim clear bottle that looked so pretty on the table.

[ Review ] Shiseido Extra Rich Cleansing Milk

 

Product Description

Luxuriously clean. Shiseido Extra Rich Cleansing Milk is soap-free, so it's perfect for dry skin. Transforms into an airy lather to remove impurities. Lifts away excess surface cells, pollutants and oxidized substances that can cause skin to age. Yet leaves skin moisturized and protected by a veil of hydration—the right environment to support its inner defenses. For a soft, plumped and dewy feel. 

Being a fan of cleansing milks, I purchased Shiseido Extra Rich Cleansing Milk from Beautyfresh last year, unfortunately, this wasn't the one for me. 

I had a good experience with their White Lucent Power Brightening Mask previously so it was a bummer that the cleanser wasn't a good fit for my skin type. 

[ Review ] Hobe Labs Energizer Hair Follicle Stimulator

 

Product Description

Hobe Labs Energizer™ Hair Follicle Stimulator can help you achieve thicker, fuller, healthier hair. The unique formulation with *Bio-Ferm™ (Herbi-Ferm) contains 10 herbs-plus jojoba and panthenol (Vitamin B-5), giving your hair and scalp new vitality.

U.S. Department of Agriculture research indicates that "jojoba, when used as a method of controlling sebum flow, can promote a luxuriant growth of hair".

Intrigued by the 70K+ reviews on Iherb, I just have to purchase 1 bottle to try it out. My crown has been getting flatter and I experienced hair fall with every wash, so hair treatment is essential nowadays. 

Packaging, Scent and Texture

Hobe Labs Energizer Hair Follicle Stimulator comes in a 237ml mist bottle. It has a unique fragrance which takes some time to adjust to it. The mist comes out in bursts and is easy to use all over my scalp and hair, especially on thinning areas. 

How To Use :

Shake well. Towel dry after shampooing. Spray Energizer™ Hair Follicle Stimulator on hair and scalp with special attention to the scalp in thinning areas. 

Performance and Ingredients

Enriched with Yucca, Rosemary, Chamomile, Arnica, Juniper & Horsetail, and Vitamin B-5, Hobe Labs Energizer Hair Follicle Stimulator improves the maneuverability and elasticity of your hair that appears more flexible, shiny, and healthy. Hair Follicle Stimulator also improves blood circulation to the hair follicles and calms the scalp.

USDA research shows that Jojoba, when used as a method of controlling sebum flow, can promote luxurious hair growth. The special blend of herbs stimulates blood flow to the scalp while also conditioning and protecting the scalp. Energizer™ Hair Follicle Stimulator also creates a thicker, fuller look between shampoos.

When I first started using Hobe Labs Energizer Hair Follicle Stimulator, I didn't really like the fragrance. It smells weird but I got used to it after a while and its no longer an issue for me now. 

The Energizer Hair Follicle Stimulator isn't greasy so with some simple scalp/hair massaging after spraying on thinning areas like the crown and the sides in the morning, I can just leave for work immediately. Note that I tend to wash my hair the night before as I prefer sleeping with clean hair. 

I see an improvement after a month of regular usage - there was lesser hair fall and hair felt less oily even if I didn't wash it for a day. For the record, my hair usually turned greasy if I didn't wash it for a day. 

I stopped using it for a month and resumed back - similarly, it took me a month of regular usage before I see results - lesser hair fall, less oily and more volume during styling. 

Where To Purchase : Iherb | Amazon

Deionized Water, Bio-Ferm Herbal Complex (including Jojoba, Saponaria, Yucca, Rosemary, Chamomile, Comfrey, Arnica, Juniper & Horsetail), Wheat Protein Complex, Dexpanthenol, (vitamin B-5), Propylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Four Flowers Fragrance.

Conclusion

To conclude, Hobe Labs Energizer Hair Follicle Stimulator has been a surprising gem, leading to lesser hair fall, less oily hair and more volume during hair styling with regular usage. I purchased it sometime back so hopefully the product has not been reformulated.

I first came across Rose All Day Butter Be Gone Cleansing Balm on Beaubit and was intrigued enough to purchase it during my 3D2N Batam Trip. 

This was my first foray into the Indonesian brand, Rose All Day - they have both skincare and cosmetics. Founded by 3 girls in Indonesia, products at Rose All Day are cruelty-free and made without parabens. You can check out their full range on Rose All Day website. Unfortunately, they no longer carry Butter Be Gone Cleansing Balm.

Packaging, Scent and Texture

Rose All Day Butter Be Gone Cleansing Balm comes in a pretty pink jar with 100ml cleansing balm contents that emulsify upon contact with water. The soft balm doesn't have any fragrance. It has a lid with an enclosed spatula. 

How To Use : 

1) Scoop a dime-sized amount of Rosé All Day Butter Be Gone with the included spatula. 

2) Warm in the palm of hands & apply to dry skin on the face with circular finger movements and gentle pressure. 

3) Use your fingertips to massage Butter Be Gone into the skin with gentle circular motions. 

4) Add a splash of lukewarm water to emulsify & remove makeup and oil-based impurities (dirt). 

5) Rinse thoroughly.
