Purederm Anti- Stress Heat Therapy Mask: Review

Ever tried a self heating face mask before? Well, I have. It's very different from the usual masks that I've tried before. Previous masks and packs I've tried before are cold upon application. This one heats up once it comes contact with your skin.

I bought this particular mask in Watsons. It's called Anti- Stress Heat Therapy Mask from Purederm Botanical Choice. It claims to be relaxing, invigorating and self heating. It comes in a 15ml sachet which is actually good for more than one use. It's in Apricot and is made in Korea so hurrah for those of you (and me) who are fans of the Korean trend.

What's even better is the english description, instruction and reminders! You don't have to stress over FYI stuff written at the back of the product.

I personally like this mask. It doesn't make my skin extra moisturized or extra soft compared to when I'm using other face masks but I love the joy of waiting for the mask to heat up. That alone is enough for me to repurchase.

I don't remember the exact price but I'm pretty sure it costs less than PHP100 so it's reletively cheap compared to other Korean face masks.

Pros:
- cheap
- locally available in Watson's
- self heating
- made in Korea
- smells nice
- one sachet is good for more than 1 use

Cons:
- can't think of any

Japan Home Loven Make Cleansing Pad: Overview

Lately, a lot of cleansing aids have been released in the market. Gadgets like Clairsonic and the likes are here and there. They promote cleansing aids that feature specialized facial brushes that will help you deep clean your pores. As we all know, clean pores means better skin. I don't have perfect skin. In fact, I have to visit my dermatologist twice a month just to get my facial done to ensure that my face is clean (and yet I still break out often). This makes me want to try out products like Clairsonic. Sadly, however, I don't have the money to buy my own so I just have to deal with that and work with what I have.

For people like me, here's a product feature that you may be interested in. I bought this thing at Japan Home for roughly PHP69. Pretty cheap, huh? It's a facial cleansing pad that helps remove deep seated dirt in your pores. It has small, soft bristles to help with removing dirt and dead skin cells.

I started using this last November and I have been loving this ever since. Whenever I use this, I feel like my skin is thoroughly cleansed. Also, I feel that my skin has gotten a lot better (not perfect) since then. The small bristles really does help in cleaning my pores and what's great is that it doesn't irritate the skin. It's not abrasive as one would probably assume. It feels kinda nice  (like a massage) and your skin feels really clean afterwards.

I am happy to share and recommend this product to you, my dear readers.

Etude House Surprise Stick Concealer: Review

Hi everyone! This is a long overdue post on my thoughts regarding a concealr I bought from Etude House. I got this as a part of their Beauty Kit last year (April) and this has done me good as a part of my previous daily routine. This product is cheap at PHP 328 and I got it in the shade #2 Natural Beige.

To better explain the effectivity of the product, here are some pictures to satisfy your curiosity:

As you can see, this is a good concealer especially for your dark circles.

It is not impressive in covering up hyperpigmentations but does the job quite okay.

The only thing I don't like about this is that this concealer creases even after setting it with powder!


All in all, this is a good concealer for its price. It's not my holy grail concealer but is good enough for everyday use.

Pros:
- cheap (kinda) at PHP 328
- locally available
- easy to blend
- creamy consistency
- brightens dark circles
- able to conceal redness

Cons:
- creases
- does not conceal hyperpigmentations thoroughly

Review: Skinfood Acai Berry Mask

I'm going to post a review on this product before I totally forget my thoughts regarding the product. I have used this face mask last week. I didn't get to finish one sachet in just one use. I used it for about three to four times before I finally used one sachet up.

This clear, (kinda) watery face mask from Skinfood is a very moisturizing, smoothing mask. Just as what it claims, it simply moisturizes your skin. To be honest, I was surprised to see/read that this particular face mask doesn't offer anything extra. I've been used to using face masks that claims to moisturize + ______(fill in with added properties). This one in particular just claims to moisturize. That's it. After using the product, I have noticed that my face feels smoother and softer. I have nothing much to add since I didn't particularly see anything extra about the product.

I did feel some bits of scrub-like particles while applying the product but it wasn't a lot. At least not to the point of being called an exfoliant. I'm not sure what those particles were but it wasn't abrasive or anything. It was just there inside the clear lump of face mask. I'm also not sure as to what it does but since I did not have any bad reaction towards it, I didn't mind it.

I was not particularly impressed with this product as compared to other face masks i've previously tried but I wouldn't exactly say I hated this product. It's the kind of product I had fun trying out but would probably not repurchase.

On another note, (I'm gonna go a bit off topic) tomorrow is one of Philippines' much awaited K-Pop concert called Dream K-Pop Fantasy Concert featuring SNSD, Infinite, U-KISS, EX-O, Tahiti and Tasty. I'm quite excited since I will be attending the said event. I'm seeing all the artists mentioned above for the first time (except for U-KISS- I've already seen them twice ^^)!
