Skincare Secret Tip from Miss Singapore Universe, Rathi Menon

Her daily beauty routine :
Clean and fresh skin is very important to me, so I wash my face everyday, followed by an alcohol-free lotion to balance my skin. Unfortunately, I get white heads on my nose quite often, so I apply paste made up of baking soda and water, which gets rid of them effectively. I’m also a big believer of pampering myself with DIY facial masks at least once a week. My favourite is to mix cucumber with yoghurt and honey.

Having make up piled on my face almost every day isn’t good for my skin, which is why cleansing is absolutely crucial to me. I remove makeup immediately after every photo shoot with a gentle makeup remover to let my skin breathe. I also like to use an invigorating apricot scrub once a week for that fresh-faced feeling. And on days when I don’t have photo shoots, I wear little to no make up.

Review : For Beloved One Flawless Brightening Bio-Cellulose Eye Mask

Product Description
To help correct local darkness, brighten eye sockets to regain radiance, soothe skin tension around eyes, facilitate the formation of collagen, help to prevent wrinkles and soften rough skin around eyes.

With rave reviews on For Beloved One masks, I was happy to receive a complimentary For Beloved One Flawless Brightening Bio-Cellulose Eye Mask during my last For Beloved One purchases in Sephora. 4 pairs in a box retail for $43 in Sephora but interestingly, I wasn't able to find much information about this eye mask online.

I have been saving the eye mask for events and used it on the day of a wedding dinner I attended recently. For Beloved One is famed for their Bio-Cellulose Mask for having the best thickness, thinnest fibers, best affinity to skin and having the most essence.

In For Beloved One Flawless Brightening Bio-Cellulose Eye Mask, the pair of eye masks are kept within double layers of protection although one has slipped off and is "swimming" around in the packaging.

White and glooey in texture, the material is slightly slippery and hence slide slightly on my undereye area. I rested in bed for the recommended 20 minutes and during the initial 5 minutes, there was a minty and tingling effect before it disappears.

I was disappointed to see no significant difference at all, considering the retail price of their eye masks. Sticking to their facial mask makes better sense.

Review : MG Whiten Bright Express ( Ginseng ) Eye Mask

Containing 3 pairs in a box, MG Whiten Bright Express Eye Mask are packed in individual sachets. In each sachet, a pair of eye mask has a protective layering between them, though at times it has already slip off when I tried to take it out from the sachet.

There is a subtle scent but it didn't remind me of Ginseng and is not really obvious once layered on the undereye area. The size is generous and covered to almost the top of the cheeks. Cooling and refreshing, it provides a comfortable fit on the undereye area.

The under eye area looks slightly plumped up while the fine lines are softened. However, this is just a temporary measure, as with most eye masks.
Note that, I have used them daily for 3 days, which probably explain the effectiveness, as compared to using them once/twice a week.
