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:

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.

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. 

 

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?

KATE Lash Maximizer Eyelash Plus (White)

Unlike my Indian counterparts that are born with flirtatiously long and curly eye lashes, mine’s typically Oriental – sadly short and downward pointing.

In order to get those dolly winks that I fancy, I used to visit the beauty parlor to have my lashes perm every three weeks. When falsies were back into fashion some years ago, I was happy to forego the perm and use lesser mascara but the problem was that falsies tends to get in the way of my spekkies. Then when eyelash extension hit our shores, I was ecstatic! Even though I find it quite cumbersome having to make frequent trips for refilling and like falsies, extension is just as uncomfortable but I continued to endure it for vanity sake until one eye infection that refused to heal. I was forced to quit ‘torturing’ my lashes by the doctor’s order of a complete removal of my extensions and so there I was, back to my old flame and the quest for mascaras that give volume, length and curl continues. 

When LifestylePost was looking for Brand Advocates to test drive KATE Lash Maximizer, I have gamely applied and was honored to be selected as one! Thanks, LifestylePost J

Besides the simple, white packaging, what impresses me more is how the brush is able to pick up just the just amount of the white fluid from the tube and deposit evenly on my lashes. The curved shape has made application effortless and the brush brittles were able to catch even my shortest lashes and lifted them up subtly. 

 I am glad that the fiber is able to adhere to my lashes smoothly without clumping and it dries relatively fast so it does not hindrance the application of mascara over it.

While this base could not offer the volume that I desired, it does help to prep and extend my lashes with a considerably lasting curl for a natural looking finish.

Though it is pretty resistant and has helped my non-waterproof mascara stayed smudge free, yet removal is incredibly easy and it only took me two wipes with my usual eye makeup removal to get everything dissolved.       

Priced at SGD$20.50, I would recommend Lash Maximizer Base for those who have short lashes like mine.
