2B Mask for Face

In my younger days, people tend to describe me as baby-faced, which translates to having a round and chubby face. Although I would occasionally ask the hair stylist for a hairstyle that frame my face but I didn’t particularly bother about having a round face. In fact, I was secretly pleased that the chubbiness has given me the advantage of looking more youthful than my peers. Furthermore, the beauty scene wasn’t dominated by the Korean V face standard back then.

However as age silently robbed my youth day by day, it has also devilishly took away the elasticity and firmness of the skin bit by bit and before I knew it, my once prided youthful appearance has already eroded to one large, sagging face that I detest..

After risking with all sorts of slimming products, thanks goodness that I finally discovered 2B For Face a couple years ago and I have harnessed great results with the daily use of the essence. Not only that it has helped to refine my facial contour, it works incredibly well in reducing the flabbiness of my double chin too. 

With such great efficiency, it is no wonder that 2B For Face has quickly become a hit among celebrities and the everyday women. The product is so hot selling that they are practically flying off the shelves the moment they are displayed.   

To supplement the result even further,  2B Alternative has introduced another amazing product: 2B Mask For Face. 

While the essence is formulated as a daily skincare, 2B Mask For Face is developed more for weekly use. It has an unique 3D lock design that triple locks all slimming target points of the face to further enhance the facial corrective and reshaping effects.

While opening the mask, I am surprised to find how steep the mask is immersed with essence. The material of the mask is thicker and of better quality than many of the paper masks found in the market. The texture is comfy on hand feel and I like that it has slits to allow the mask to adhere to the facial contour closely.

Targeting the below part of the face and chin, the mask is divided in three portions with hooks that secure the mask to the ears comfortably and allows me to move around freely.

The lifting and firming effect is almost instant and I am utterly impressed by how it has helped to define and make my face seems sharper looking upon removing the mask during the first application! 

Besides using the mask once a week as per suggested for maintenance, I would apply the mask for three consecutive nights before an important event in order to look my best. And apart from that, this 2B Mask For Face mask is also the emergency weapon that I use whenever my tired face need an instant firm up.  

I am hooked! But hey, before you take my word for it, do check out what Hong Kong ‘TVB’ TV Channel celebrities have to say in this video:

Yadah Twin Angel BB Cream with Cheek Tint & Yadah Air Powder Pact

The other day my little 4 year old niece saw this set of Yadah on the table and claimed that it is hers. My 30 year old colleague has asked for them when she saw a picture that I have posted. My mum too, could not resists trying them out so I reckoned that makeup and cute illustration are girly stuffs that appeal to women, no matter what age they might be.

Yadah Twin Angel BB Cream with Cheek Tint SPF 35/PA+++

When come to BBs, I dare say that no one does it better than the Koreans. And Yadah, being a typically Korean brand, not only that they do BB cream, they have take it a step further by throwing in a cheek tint on the cap!

 

Isn’t that neat!

 

I simply love this multi-functional tint! Besides giving my cheeks a light blush, I am using it as a lip tint and even on my eyelids to hold my mineral loose eye shadow powder.

 

Just as multi-functional, Yadah Twin BB Cream is a combination of sun protection, makeup primer, concealer and foundation.

 

Specially formulated with natural ingredients such as mango seed butter and camellia sinensis leaf extract, Yadah Twin BB Cream is 100% free from paraben, artificial coloring, mineral oils, sulphates and animal extracts. It also contains skin soothing and regenerating properties and is able to control sebum and promote fairer and conceal imperfections.

 

Besides being gentle, non comedogenic and suitable for all skin types, Yadah Twin BB Cream’s winning formula is perhaps its efficiency to provide an all-in-one solution that that protect, conceal and cover.

 

 

Personally, I find its fluid consistency blends onto my skin easily and smoothly. I like that it feels hydrating and could instantly brighten up my dull and tired looking complexion. Besides giving me the much needed sun protection with SPF35PA+++ , it hides my pigmentations fairly well and gives a very natural finish.

 

My face looks dewy and I am good even without foundation.

 

 

Yadah Twin Angel BB Cream with Cheek Tint is distributed by ibeaute and is available at qoo10.sg

Yadah Air Powder Pact SPF 35/PA+++

I always apply powder as the final step of makeup to avoid ending up looking like a greasy pan in our humid climate. Whether it is loose or compact, powder work as a setting agent that seal makeup and accentuate skin by giving it a smooth, polished finish.

 

Free from paraben, tar color, benzophenone, artificial fragrance, mineral oil, and animal ingredients, Yadah Air Powder Pact contains cactus extract that soothes skin comfortably. 

 

 

I like how this moisturizing mineral powder could adhere to the skin and hide the visibility of the large pores and other imperfections even further. This ultra fine powder has a silky texture that gives the skin a matte, flawless finish and I appreciate how my makeup could stay fresher and longer.

 

It is comforting to know that it has SPF35/PA++ so whenever I do touch up,  I am also replenishing my sun protection.

 

Yadah Air Powder Pact is available in two shades, #19 Light Beige and #21 Natural Beige.

Also distributed by ibeaute and you can get it at qoo10.sg

Gülsha Face Oil

How I can not fall in love with this rose garden in a bottle!

Though it is oil but the texture of this fluid is so light that it does not feels like oil at all. I like how it could penetrate into the skin quickly and turning my skin into a silky smooth and soft canvas without leaving any greasy residue.

With the high concentration of 4000kg of Damask Roses in 1L of pure oil and being free from parabens, sulfates, artificial colorings, synthetic rose oil and fragrances, it is no wonder that this skin enhancer would works its magic to oxygenate, balance and rejuvenate the skin while improving the skin’s elasticity, boost its hydration level, aid in healing as well as maintaining the skin’s radiance and softness.  

Not only that Gülsha Face Oil is very nourishing and hydrating, its healing power is amazing too. In fact, the irritable dry patch on my thighs that I have been treating with argan oil for many months without success has miraculously healed in 3 days!     

While I would use this elixir to pacify of my poached skin whenever it needs an instant boost, I am also using a few drops this highly concentrated essence to massage my face every night after splashing on Gülsha Rose Water. I like how it would work overtime to repair and rejuvenate my skin while I sleep. As a result, my skin would look fresher and feel luxuriously soft and smooth the next morning and I certainly love that radiant glow that I see in the mirror!

Gangnam Laser Clinic

What you do expect from an express facial?

Personally, I would want a treatment that uses the most minimal time to produce the most maximum result.

And how long do you expect the duration of an express facial to be?

60 minutes? 45 minutes? Or perhaps 30 minutes?

The one that I have recently did at Gagman Laser Clinic take less than 10 minutes, excluding the consultation of course. In fact, the consultation with the very charismatic, Korean looking, Dr Moses Ng had taken a longer time than the laser facial itself, probably because that was my first time visit and also that I am way too problematic :-,

Talking about the consultation, I really appreciate how this friendly doctor took time to understand the patient’s needs and explained how their laser treatments will benefit the patient.

I like that he is very genuine and does not gives pig-can-fly kind of promises. When I whined about the pigmentations on my cheeks, he offered comfort by telling me Melasma is very common on Asian women and suggested that I should try topical therapy before considering other drastic measures.

Alright, back to the laser facial.

After the clinic therapist has cleansed my face, Dr Moses Ng assessed my skin again before starting with the toning laser to target the deeper layer of the skin. Besides stimulating of collagen production, it could also helps to tighten and tone the skin. Though he has warned that there might be a slight sensation but the thick-skin me did not experienced any pain or discomfort and before I knew it, it was all  over 😉

The second laser that the doctor has performed was a micro-peeling laser that targets the surface layer of the skin. This laser actually helps to remove dull and dead skin cells from the skin’s surface and the result was instant, Immediately, my skin felt smoother and hey, I was glowing with radiance!  

What’s a facial without a mask?

Once the doctor has done with the laser, the therapist came into the room and pampered me with a cold, cold mask taken right from the fridge. This mask is super cooling on the skin and the therapist explained that this tissue mask will also helps to soothe the skin, optimize the laser treatment and provides intense hydration.

The beautiful part is that, it only needs five minutes on the face and the entire treatment is completed.

Whew!

Fast, zero downtime, instant glow and with the result getting better and better by day, this is the ultimate Express Laser Facial that suits anyone and everyone!  Try it yourself, this Express Laser Facial is priced at $88 for first time patient and all skincare, including the laser are from Korea.

For myself, I am seriously contemplating going back for fillers >:)

Maybelline Baby Skin Pore Eraser

I usually prefer my primer to be tinted but this translucent gel amazed me.

Almost immediately, my face turned into a flawless canvas and my strawberry-like pores disappeared.  Its thin consistency is weightless and my skin feels velvety soft. My complexion looks incredibly smooth and my foundation glides on easily thereafter. Serving as a base, it helped my makeup to stay on fresher and lasted longer.

Thanks to its great blurring power,  a second is all I need to create an illuision of a clear, smooth complexion and now I could even skip makeup on lazy days!

Possibly the best drug store primer around, I would say.

Olala Rolling Up Mascara & Olala Corset Pact

If not for the Korean wordings on the boxes, I could have easily mistaken Olala for some western cosmetic brand. Its loud and bold packaging is a huge contrast against the usual Korean’s very soft, pastel, floral or even cutsy kind of stuff and if it is screaming for attention, it surely got mine!

Oh, speaking of Korean brands, we ought to have ibeaute to thank for. Apart from bringing us many renowned brands from Korea, they have made them so affordably and readily available to qoo10.sg 

Back to Olala.

Olala Rolling Up Mascara

Compare to the mascara’s shiny purple and green packaging, the wand itself is nothing fanciful. The slightly curved bristle brush is pretty standard looking but I was surprised by how it could separate my lashes and give them a thorough, clump-free coating that lengthen and volume all at the same time.  

It reaches to even the tiniest lash, the color is intensely black and instantly, my lashes appear thicker and longer with just one coat.  It is highly water resistance and my curls stayed throughout the day, smudge-free.

Despite its high resistance and long staying power, it is surprisingly easy to remove.  I have tried removing with fluid eye makeup remover and all-in-one oil cleanser and it has responded very well to both. It dissolved and transferred itself completely onto the cotton pad and left no spidery residues or unsightly traces after washing. 

Available from qoo10.sg for SGD$12.90.

Olala Corset Pact

I always believe that the purpose of using face powder is to set my makeup and not to my cover makeup so I only have one thing to ask for from my face powder: be as invisible as possible.

Fulfilling my expectation by making itself hardly noticeable once applied onto my face, this compact went on to surprise me with its super fine texture. It allows the skin to breath and will not clog pores. I like the fact that it is a non-shimmer and I like how it hides my enlarged pores while sealing my makeup to provide a smooth, flawless and matte finish. 

Available in two colors, #21 Light Beige and #23 Natural Beige, Olala Corset Pact can be brought from qoo10.sg for SGD$12.90 each. 

 

Brillantereve Lip Tint and Yadah Sweet Milky Tint

I am never a bold lip color kind of person because I don’t have a pair of well-defined lips to begin but I am obsessed lip tints, or rather, the girlish just-bitten look that only lip stains could provide.

Unlike lipstick that gives a strong color and lip gloss that is so light that it disappears the moment you step out the door, lip tint stains your lips with just a tint of long wearing color that make your pouts looking irresistibly kissable.

Other than applying on the lips, I love using lip tints in place of a blusher on the cheeks to fake that natural flushed, rosy look.

Here I have tested out two lip tints from ibeaute:

Brillantereve Lip Tint

The color looks intense in the tube but gives me a very soft and nice color stain when applied. The applicator picks up just the right amount for the whole lips and the liquid content felt feather light and soothing on my dry lips. It is fast drying and the color doesn’t bleeds, smudges or transfers to my cup and lasted for hours.

Its light and liquidly texture makes it a good cheek stain too.

Available from qoo10.sg at SGD$7.90 each.

Yadah Sweet Milky Tint

In comparison, Yadah Sweet Milky Tint has a creamier texture so more attention is needed when applying on the cupid bow and edges to avoid bleeding. The candy-like color turns into a very natural color stain when applied. It is pretty long lasting and my lips felt comfortable and moisturized. 

Available from qoo10.sg at SGD$6.90 each.

In case you guys are still not aware, ibeaute distributes many renowned Korean brands such as Skin Watchers, SkinFactory, Yadah, Chamos, Brillantereve, Olala, etc at affordable prices online at qoo10.sg. 

OLIVA forte

This is not a sponsored post or a paid review but a product that I have personally consumed and have benefited from it.

Though my skin flushes and reddens easily, it has never caused me any major problem in my younger days. In fact I have cruised through my teenage years with smooth and clear skin while my peers struggled with acnes and breakouts. My skin was still good in my twenties but it was during this time that I have started my own construction firm and would be spending all most all of my waking hours at the worksite exposing to the sun. Without protection. Little do I know that my ignorance had a price to pay. And a hefty fee with incurring interest that rolled over the next ten years leading to hell breaking loose when I hit mid thirties.

It started with the skin on my hands and legs becoming irritably dry and scaly. Then wounds refused to heal and scars were terribly itchy. Soon my face was affected. Not only that lines and wrinkles have crept up and settled down on my face overnight, my pores have enlarged so much to the extent that I mistook them as beehive. But this wasn’t the worst yet and I started having breakouts and my entire face and neck was filled with little white heads.  

When none of the over-the-counter topical remedies worked, I sought help from beauty salons to beauty salons but instead of redeeming me from my woes, those expensive treatments only max. out my credit cards and left me feeling worst. Though one particular chemical peeling treatment did help to clear up my skin a little but it thinned my skin so much that just a minute under the sun and I will be all red and burning. My skin was ultra sensitive and peeling too. Dermatologists have diagnosed me as hormonal imbalance but again, what they prescribed proved little help.

Though I am usually not one who believes in oral health supplement but through a friend’s recommendation, I decided to give Oliva Forte a try out of exasperation.

Being my skeptical self, I was hoping for miracle but then again, I wasn’t expecting miracle to happen at all. The initial result slow but still, I persisted popping a pill a day and upped to two from the third week after noticing that my dry skin doesn’t itch that much.

Gradually my perseverance paid off, my skin no longer feels so tight and parched after shower and it was okay to skip greasing those sticky and yucky body lotions to soothe my dry skin for a night or two. Wounds and bites took a shorter time to heal. While lines and wrinkles have proclaimed their permanent residency status and decided to make my face their home, my skin has cleared up and those irritable white heads begone.

While I have channeled all my energy on my skin and neglected my poor short and brittle nails, Oliva Forte gave me a bonus by strengthen them and for the first time in many years, I could grow my fingernails to a decent length without crippling.

It has been half a years since I started taking Oliva Forte and these days, I am feeling so much healthier and happier with better general health well being, skin, nails, and hair. 

CHANEL LE CRAYON LÈVRES PRECISION LIP DEFINER – – SONIC PINK

This is so far the cutest color I ever have in my makeup stash!

As its name “Le Crayon Levres Precision Lip Definer” implies, this creamy textured pencil offers a precise application and I like how I could effortlessly define and instantly emphasize my otherwise thin and mean pair of lips. As the crayon contains silicones and Vitamin E, application is extremely easy and the built-in brush helps to blend the color for a smooth and full coverage.

It is highly pigmented with a very intense hue and while the matte finish is good to serve as a base for lipstick to stay in place, I find the color so lovely that I would rather just seal it off with a clear gloss.

While putting it on test, it survived a session of high tea with the girls, a packet of chocolate cookies in the evening with a few glasses of water in between and only reducing to a pale stain after my dinner at 9pm. For one who would usually ‘eats’ away my lipstick within the first hour of application, I must say that the staying power of this lip pencil is very impressive.

Oh, there is even a double-bladed sharpener that comes with the lip definer too.  So, what’s more can one ask for?
