Review on Etude House Essence Mask - Hyaluronic Acid




Product Description
Essence mask for skin soothing with hyaluronic acid and lily extracts

After using 3 sheets over the past 3 days, here's my verdict.
Actually I like anything that is associated with hyaluronic acid or whatever hydrating claims on a product as I strongly believe that skin needs to be well-hydrated.

However, I only bought 3 sheets from Etude House because I have never use their masks before and did not want to risk any allergies or breakouts like what I experienced with The Face Shop. Sheet masks from The Face Shop just gave me breakouts and that is a no-no.

The cut-out area is just nice and fits my face perfectly. I did not quite like the fragrance which I cannot really explain. Immediate after effects of each treatment leave my skin moist and gives it much relief.

As with the past few Etude House facial sheet masks I have tried before, alcohol is one of the ingredients which could be the explanation why it dries up partially within 30minutes though the recommended time is 15 to 20minutes. But thank goodness there is not much of the alcohol smell unlike Kose Lotion Mask.

Review on Dermalogica Chroma White Extreme C




Product Description
Dermalogica Extreme C is a unique powder-to-emulsion treatment which delivers a high concentration of Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP) combined with brightening agents and exfoliants to optimise skin clarity. Glides gently over skin or can be blended with your presribed Dermalogica Moisturiser. Contains no artifical colour and fragrance.

Key Ingredients
Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP) : a non acidic stable form of Vitamin C helps inhibit melanin formation.
Antioxidant Camellia Sinensis (White Tea) Extract : accelerates skin brightening and strengthens skin's defences against future dicolouration on a cellular level.
Zinc Glycinate : stimulates formation of an antioxidant protein that binds Copper, thereby inhibitng Tyrosinase.
Niacinamide and Glucosamine : prevent transfer of melanosomes to keratinocytes.
Glucosamine, Algae Extract, Yeast Extract and Lactobacillus/Pumpkin Fruit Ferment : exfoliate surface cells to smooth, enhance skin tone and eliminate dark spots.

Containing Vitamin C to brighten, lighten and tone the skin, white tea to fight free-radical damage and sodium hyaluronate to bind moisture to the skin, this product seems to be on its way to making a big difference to the skin.

A little goes a long way as a pea-sized amount of powder is recommended to be used with the moistsuriser. It can also be used as a spot treatment but so far, I only used it to mix in with Dermalogica Active Moist.

After the mix-in, the texture looks almost like "mochi", sticky paste but its actually not that sticky when applied to the face. It does not affect the texture of Active Moist if you use the correct amount in ratio with respect to the moisturiser. It spreads easily and gets absorbed into the skin easily without any gritty feel of the powder.

In combination with the Estee Lauder Cyber White Extra Brightening Moisture Cream which I was using as a night cream, someone whom I have not seen for the past 2 months have recently commented that I looked fairer.

If you have normal skin, adding this Extreme C upped the benefits of Active Moist, since you can have both the hydrating and whitening properties in your moisturiser.

Ingredients :
Water (Aqua), Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Propylene Glycol, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Silica Dimethyl Silylate, C9-15 Fluoroalcohol Phosphate, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Glycerin, Urea, Saccharide Hydrolysate, Magnesium Aspartate, Glycine, Alanine, Creatine, Lactobacillus/Pumpkin Fruit Ferment Filtrate, Niacinamide, Zinc Glycinate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Glucosamine HCI, Algae Extract, Yeast Extract, Saccharide Isomerate, Phospholipids, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Phenoxyethanol, Potassium Sorbate, Sorbic Acid.

Toni & Guy Frizz Smoothing Curl Shampoo and Conditioner


Smoothing Curl Shampoo
This rich shampoo helps tame frizz for smoother curls. It will give your naturally curly hair or style-curled hair a glossy sheen.

Smooth Curl Conditioner
Detangles and rehydrates to tame frizz for smoother curls. It will give your curly or style-curled hair a glossier sheen.

I picked up this travel size set which includes a leave-in conditioner for RM$24.90 in Watsons when I was in Johor Bahru for a day of shopping and dining session.
The fragrance is not one which most people will like. In fact, I hated it very much when I first used it but I was persistent in finishing it, to check out the result.

For some reason, or perhaps its the bottle material finishing, I tend to drop both the shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom when my hands are wet. Both bottles tend to get pretty slippery when its wet.
And because the red colour is more attractive and eye-catching, I tend to reach for the red bottle first but only to find out that its the conditioner. That takes some adjusting but now for convenience sake, I do a quick reading on the bottle before I used it.

The shampoo is a clear, transparent sticky liquid which lathers to some slight foam on the hair. The conditioner is a white, creamy cream that works to detangle the hair. If I used too little amount, I do not feel any detangling effect but if I do use just the correct amount, it made the hair smooth and my fingers are able to run through the wet hair effortlessly.

My hair does seems to look just abit better although some frizziness are still apparent. The curls looks more defined yet not untidy and all over the place.

Review on Etude House Essence Mask - Vitamin C


Product Description
Essence mask for skin vitalizing with Vitamin C and Lemon extract

I bought 3 sheets of this mask when I was in Taiwan and only get to use it this week.
The cut-out area of this mask fits my face shape nicely however due to a blocked nose this week, I am unable to comment on its fragrance.

As I have just fallen sick recently, I decided to use this Vitamin C mask to bring some radiance back to my dull skin.
The recommended time to remove the mask is 15 to 20mins but I had it layered on my face for 30mins before it dries up totally. Face feels hydrated and left an immediate slight glow to the skin.

After using 3 sheets of this Vitamin C mask over the past 3 days, I do notice that my skin looks rosy and radiant. It also provides some moisture to my parched skin.

Alcohol is again on this mask though compared to its pomegranate mask, the alcohol ingredient falls on the 2nd line. With all the other korea facial sheet masks, the ingredients are usually in Korean language hence I am unable to confirm if alcohol is also one of their ingredients.
I really hope that someone can tell me if Beauty Credit masks contain alcohol because I am a big fan of their masks.

Review on Etude House Pomegranate Sheet Mask

Review for Etude House Pomegranate Sheet Mask
Product Description
Essence mask contains pomegranate additives that nourish for a healthy complexion
Abundantly supplies moisture to skin

I bought 3 sheets of of the Etude House Pomegranate Sheet Mask when I was in Taiwan and this is my first foray into using Etude House facial sheet masks. I first started out with their BB cream with positive result so I bought their items when I was in Taiwan and Korea last year.

I did not really compare the prices between Taiwan and Singapore but since the products fit into my budget, I bought a few products to try it out.

For their relatively affordable pricing on their masks, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of their sheet mask. Its thick and not sheer and thin.

Even though the Etude House Pomegranate Sheet Mask was not heavily soaked to the point of dripping wetness (20g sheet mask), its coated with enough essence to envelop my face with the moisture. Comfortable.

The pomegranate fragrance is bearable and the size of the mask also fits my face shape pretty well.

Pomegranate is known to have high levels of antioxidants to prevent and delay aging. Check out Leon's tips for a Pomegranate DIY facial mask.

Since this mask did not provide any instantaneous results after 3 sheet masks and it also contains alcohol, I would not be getting this again.
