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:

2B Alternative Into Arm & Body

For a barely 155cm built, I am FAT without a doubt! I have got elephant thighs, water pail waist but what irked me the most are my flabby arms!

 2B Alternative Into Arm & Body

2B Alternative has a series of slimming products that tailored to the different of the body and I am already a huge fan of 2B for Face and 2B Mask for Face but this is the first time I am trying out their other products. 

As its name implies, this 2B Alternative Into Arm & Body is designed to target, well, ARM AND BODY.

Formulated using a new Heat Deep Penetrating (HDP) formula that activates EGF, HCA, Caffeine and Liporeductyl to burn fat cells, this clear gel is really HOT! I have under estimated the heating power and over applied during the first time and got myself jumping around like crazy for the next hour.

The burning sensation is quite intense so initially I would be hiding inside the air-conditioned room to keep myself cool but after a while, my skin soon gets used to the tingling sensation and I could even apply it before exercising to tap on the heat to increase metabolism and burn more fats 🙂 

The good thing is that it does not contains any Chili or Ginger extracts thus it will not cause skin irritation. In fact my skin feels smoother and it is not greasy. I find its light, green tea/minty scent very pleasurable too. 

It is barely two weeks since I started applying 2B Alternative Into Arm & Body and I must say that I am extremely happy with the result. Not only that my arms are visibly more tone and firmer looking, they have also reduced by an inch in measurement!

Hmm..looks like I could be bidding goodbye to my ugly flabby arms fairly soon!

Yeah!

 

 

 

 

For Beloved One Melasleep Whitening Blemish Balm cream

I have always wanted to try this For Beloved One Melasleep Whitening Blemish Balm Cream for the long time but when I finally brought a tube as Christmas present for myself from Sephora, I misplaced it even before Christmas arrived and so I never get a chance to try it until now.

 Thanks to For Beloved One, I got a tube flew from Taiwan!

 As you can see, the box packaging is different from what I had brought previously. This one is in 30ml and the one available in Singapore is 50ml.

Formulated with world’s leading pharmaceutical patent Lumiskin ™, ascorbyl glucoside, job’s tears extract and rose hips oil, this For Beloved One Melasleep Whitening Blemish Balm Cream not only has the effects of whitening, repair and conceal flaws, it also contains an intelligent tracking color factor that can automatically track and create a soft and natural light perception to give skin a translucent, nude look appearance. 

Other ingredients of the BB cream include Allantoni, Bisabolol and Chamomile extracts. Allantoni, being a natural skin healing agent, could help to stimulate cell regeneration, ease skin allergies and increase skin moisture to soothe and give the skin a smoother appearance. Bisabolol is a plant compound that contains anti-inflammatory and healing effects and could relive skin discomfort as well as improving the skin’s immunity and the latter, Chamomile extracts promotes wound healing, anti-inflammation, anti-bacterial and improve allergic condition.

With such soothing properties, it is no wonder this BB cream is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin and problematic skin. 

On top of its brightening and repairing benefits, this BB cream works like a chameleon that matches my skin tone while giving me a sheer, translucent coverage. While it cannot cover the huge patch of Melasma on my cheeks completely, it hides my enlarged pores, fine lines and other imperfections.

I like it how brightens up my complexion and gives me a matte finish that creates the illusion of flawless skin. It looks good on its own for a nude makeup effect but it also works well as a base for foundation. 

I noticed that there is a lack of sun protection factor but then again, with its multiple efficiency of Brightening, Repairing and Coverage all in one, this BB cream is absolutely more than what I could bargain for.

I am extremely glad that it does not oxidize after some time and gives me a grayish undertone that some BB cream would.

The thin consistency fluid glides on easily and spreads on evenly so a little goes a long way.  I find the light scent very pleasurable and I especially appreciate how it could pacify poached skin and allow my face to stay fresh throughout the day without touch up. 

Available from Sephora Singapore at SDG$50 for a 50ml tube, For Beloved One Melasleep Whitening Blemish Balm Cream is a wonderful multi-tasker that every woman sought to have on their dressing table.

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!

Gulsha Rose Water

Hello ladies! What do you do whenever you receive a bouquet of rose? Do arrange them in a vase and admire their beauty for the next few days? Or would you air-dry them over the next few weeks to preserve them as dried flowers? I have once boiled them. I simmered the petals with distilled water to make myself a bottle of rose water spray but seriously, many of you would believe that this little DIY trick would do your skin wonders?

Nay! 

Rose Water is no doubt the secret of many beauties for centuries, but it definitely takes more than rose petals and water to make this elixir. And that it is why I was overjoyed when I come to know about Gulsha Damask Rose Water. 

What makes Gulsha Damask Rose Water so precious is that contained within every 200ml of the Rose Water is a thousand of preciously handpicked Damask Roses from the yearly harvest and Damask Roses, being the Queen of Flowers, are known for its hydrating and toning benefits. 

Gulsha Rose Water contains 99.9% natural rose extracts, undiluted with water and is delicately produced using the traditional steam distillation techniques and free from parabens, sulfates, artificial colorings and fragrances.

With the ingredient so limited and pure, it is no wonder that people often refer Gulsha Rose Water as Liquid Gold. 

Indeed, Liquid Gold it is and I just love every drop of it!

It has been two weeks since I have started using this Gulsha Rose Water and I have already witness leaps of improvement on my skin. Due to its rich content of natural antioxidant properties and Vitamin C, it has helps to tone and brightens up my skin tone while soothing my otherwise dull and dry skin with intense hydration. As a result, my skin looks rejuvenated, refreshed and well rested. 

I find the scent of the rose water very therapeutic and I am using it in place of a toner to balance pH level after cleansing, I am using it as a mask to soothe and hydrate my dull and poached skin, I am using it to erase my panda-looking under eye circles, I am using it as a face mist to perk my skin while working in the freezing office and I am using it as a relaxation aromatherapy. In fact, I have found so many uses of the gentle, multi-functional rose water that the list would goes on and on..

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.
