Review : Daiso Charcoal Mask.

my days are usually oh-so-alone. sian lah!

ok so today i am gonna do a review on a mask which has many good feedback. :)

i see many of these charcoal products when i go to daiso. it seems to be 1 of the best sellers, that is if i remember correctly. 

a clearer view of the back, with instruction. i removed the sticker with english writing as i wanted to read the instruction.

texture,  a little sticky.

sometimes will squeeze out small bits of charcoal and it is like 1-2 small bits only. so application is still smooth.

this is how it looks after i peel it off from my T-zone. hurts a little like pricking(not sure the word).

click on the picture and can see on the left side of the mask there are some blackheads from my nose! 

so now....

the good :)

1) cheap at $2.

2) easy to apply.

3) dries up completely and can peel off easily.

4) no allergic reaction for my sensitive skin.

the bad :(

1) pores are still visible after use.

2) does not remove most of blackheads and whiteheads.

this mask dries very fast, about 10-15mins but if apply thicker layer it needs more time. i wonder if the tight feeling as the mask dries up will tighten my face,making my face smaller. LOL!

i will still purchase this as i like the feeling after using this mask, less oily face although only last for a day. :D

mid week.........i am so bored

another of personality test........ visual dna... http://www.visualdna.com/
click on the find out more under the visual personality test to do the test :)

here is my results. oh mine, WOT....... those in bold are true for me

Spirit 

You're a Seeker.

Relationship

You're very romantic at heart. You believe in lifelong love and growing old together. Forever isn't a scary word to you!As a Rock Steady, you want a love that feels secure. You tend to be realistic about what makes a lifelong relationship work and understand the value of forging a love based on friendship and respect. You are ready to meet a partner who would like to build a life together and who is ready to show you some signs of devotion. You believe that a true partnership is about sharing responsibility and being able to count on one another through whatever life throws at you. Creating this kind of honesty and support means your love will steadily grow as the years go by.

Relationship tips:

So you're a Rock Steady but what tips can we give for when you're looking for love?

1. Leave your checklists at home. Your preconceptions about what you want from a relationship may mean you miss a surprise gem that's right in front of your nose.
2. Be honest and upfront about what you want and need from a new relationship rather than trying to live up to unrealistic expectations whether they're set by yourself or other people.
3. Let your hair down. We know stability's your thing but why not try a fresh approach? Lighten up and be open to new experiences.
4. Open your heart. Don't overthink things. The strongest connections are founded on spiritual intimacy.

Money

You like to take care of yourself, and looking good is important to you. If you could, you'd probably have an extensive range of designer cosmetics for those all-important touch-ups throughout the day.You have a very healthy approach to life. You know that true happiness doesn't come from material things or possessions. It goes much deeper than that and is all about valuing those things you can't put a price on. You like to care for those around you, and if they're happy, you're happy. You appreciate that both highs and lows make up the balance of life and you always try and stay spiritually strong and focused.

Health

You struggle to get moving in the morning. It's hard to find the energy to get motivated. But while you may not be a morning person, there's no question that you're on the right track with your health.Unappealing as it may seem, it would be good to try to be a bit more active every day. You might be surprised at how much you'd actually enjoy regular exercise. It may sound hard to believe, but endorphins are better than chocolate if you just give them a chance! You may even find that you're in a better mood more often. Start off with something that isn't too intimidating, like climbing the stairs instead of taking the elevator. You might even consider signing up for a few personal training sessions in the gym so that you have a program that's tailored just for you. You may need to think about making a few changes what you eat too. Maybe you could try making homemade versions of your favorite restaurant meals to reduce the sodium and fat content and eat healthier without compromising too much on taste.

Food

You like life simple and uncomplicated - it can be stressful enough without having to juggle ten pots and pans just to make some dinner. You prefer to keep things basic. Warm, homely aromas every day and the perfect Thanksgiving dinner in the fall would probably be your idea of culinary heaven.Why not treat yourself to an extravagant dessert to follow every now and again?

Home

You love the idea of living somewhere tranquil, perhaps by the sea. Taking life at a slower pace, being out in the fresh air and waking up to amazing views every single day would suit your romantic nature. It's the simple pleasures in life that can be the most meaningful for you and that help focus you.

Entertainment

You're an outdoorsy person, happiest when you can get out into the fresh air and explore what the countryside has to offer. You can't beat a few quiet hours in the peace of nature to be alone with your thoughts. Perfect for feeling refreshed and rejuvenated!

Style

Your pretty, feminine style exudes low-key elegance and charm. You don't need to be brash or falling off a pair of stilettos to get noticed. Being at ease and feeling confident in yourself works wonders. You like to keep things real and are practical, too, so you're just as comfortable getting groceries as checking out the latest designer looks.

Travel

You're open-minded and a positive thinker, so when you get the chance to go traveling, you love to head somewhere exotic and off the beaten track. For you, escapism is the ultimate in relaxation. It's the perfect antidote to the stress of everyday life. You love the feel of the sun and sea on your skin, so your perfect vacation would definitely include a beach. Even better if it's secluded and undiscovered by hordes of tourists!

Review: The Face Shop white secret brightening body scrub

another new month......

my previous post stated that i am going to post more pics.....so today a review.....

they changed packing and some ingredients so here are the pictures.......

the old packing...i have used 3 of these before they changed packing...love the smell

the new packing in tube form....smell is slightly a bit different

the back of the tube.

old packing ingredients.

new packing ingredients,click the pic for clearer viewing.

now for the swatches of the white secret body scrub....... :)

can see some white beads...mostly consist of transparent beads and will feel it when u scrub it on your skin.

there are also brown beads.

the good :)

1. light floral citrus smell. i dislike those heavy smelling body scrub and make my skin sensitive after using a few times.

2. no sensitive or allergic reaction. 

3. body feels clean, no soapy feeling and no dry,tight feeling..

4. optional to use shower gel/soap before using scrub. although the SA told me need to use shower gel before scrub, i find that using it alone is fine too. :)

5. new packing in tube form, i can bring the tube to bathroom without the need to scoop out some to put in separate container.  

the bad :(

1. overpriced in sg, if possible buy it online. 

2. the brightening effect dont seems to last long on me. maybe it is my problem,all products i used will lose its effect after using for a period of time. i have to make lots of effort to make my skin tone lighter :(

overall i still like this product a lot and still going to purchase until i find another suitable body scrub to try/use.

hope i didnt miss out info as i always have writer's block whenever i see this white screen......no good ya! i gonna buck up!

more more reviews to come! :D

Review: the face shop, oil cut dual bb emulsion.

as i m new to this review,pictures post, i have to say what i tried and used which are good/bad for me may not necessary the same for you. my pictures color may be different due to monitor or my pictures taking skills. :)

ok lets start!

today i m gonna review on................

the front

the back

description of the product.....click the pic to see the words.

its in squeeze tube type and a concealer on the cap. will show in next pic :)

 

  flip up the top part of the cap and you see the concealer  :)

bb cream ingredients. click the pic for clearer wordings. i tried my best to take a good pic for this :(

now for the swatch....without flash

with flash......

after applied....without flash

with flash...

i have been using this for more than 6 months and i m ok with this product.coverage wise is average, some of my bigger acne scars and dark circles are still visible. its just me or i dont know, i looked yellow after an hour outside if i didnt set it with powder due to short trip. oil control not good for me during hot weather and my chin and forehead start to shine after 1-2 hours. 

the good :)

1. it is not as oily as other bb creams. the texture is not creamy nor runny.

2. makes my face looks smooth.

3. brightens my face when just applied.

the no good :(

1. although i like the texture but got to blend fast as it dries up very fast.

2. applying too much will makes you look like putting on a mask.

3. not waterproof and sweat proof. that is very bad for sg's weather as i sweat like nobody business and i see stains on my tissue paper when i wipe my sweat :( A little bit of water falls on my face and the bb cream starts to run. 

i will still continue to use this bb cream but will not purchase again.

it is just damn strange!

when i wanted to login just now, the blogger main page showed me detecting suspicious activity on my account!

i have no idea what happened until now......who the hell will login or do anything to my account?

I miss the blue sky n clouds :(
So moody!

It's so strange.this few days I have been thinking of someone who I have not seen for 10 years!a sec sch classmate...I m sure he don't remember me as usual like other ppl...

Yesterday had a dream n I think he appeared..can't remember much...until now I m still thinking about it..

I should be sleeping now...good night world n hope I can sleep well ...:)

what tarot card are you?

You are The Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents,
beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home
decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.

http://www.colorquiz.com

so this is the results for 03 oct 2011

Color Test - Results

Your Existing Situation

"Outgoing but unpredictable and unstable. Likes things to go her way, otherwise she becomes agitated, indecisive, and fake in her activities."

Your Stress Sources

"Not a team player and is unwilling to be involved in most activities. In the past she was over involved and now emotionally drained. Due to her fear of over involvement, she now chooses to remain uninvolved with the activities around her. "

Your Restrained Characteristics

"Finds satisfaction in sexual activity, but is emotionally detached which prevents her from becoming too involved."
"Seeking to broaden her horizons and believes her hopes and dreams are realistic. Worries she may not be able to do the things she wants and needs to escape to a peaceful, quiet environment in order to restore her confidence."
Feels as if too many walls and obstacles are standing in her way and that she is being forced to make compromises. she needs to put her own needs on hold for the time being.

Your Desired Objective

"Always trying to make a good impression on others, and is constantly watching to see if she is succeeding in this. Is interested in how others react to him; this makes her feel in control. Strategically plans out ways to gain further influence over others and special recognition. Is easily distracted by the pleasingly beautiful and original."

Your Actual Problem

Fears others will try to hold her back from achieving her goals and the things she wants. Puts on the charm and can be manipulative towards others hoping she can get them to do as she wishes and making it easier for her to reach her own goals.

the underlined ones are accurate, the rest not so as i anyhow click on the colors...no feel for the colors at all thats why..... :)
