[Review] Lindsay Rubber Mask - Tea Tree

Hello everybody! I'm back again with another review and this time it's the Lindsay Modeling Rubber Mask. It is widely known among the Korean skincare routine and it's been out in the market for a while now. I've been wanting to post a review on the modeling mask but I wanted to test it out for myself before doing a review. 

So here I am putting up a review after testing it out for a few months. The one I've tried are as below:

2 x Tea Tree
2 x Lavender
1 x Calendula 
1 x Vitamin C

I will be doing a review on the Tea Tree version of the Lindsay Modeling Mask.

Cool (Tea-Tree) Modeling Mask

 There are 8 different types of modeling mask by Lindsay available depending on your skin condition. 


(Photo cr:shopcoupons.my)

Collagen - Moisturizes and plumps up skin (All skin type)
Charcoal - Lifts up oil and dirts (Oily skin)
Calendula - Helps to nourish and moisturize skin (Acne prone skin)
Lavender - Anti-oxidant to cleanse and combats environmental pollutants (All skin type)
Cool (Tea-Tree) - Aids in healing breakouts (Acne prone skin)
Pearl - Restores skin elasticity (All skin type)
Vitamin - Helps to renew, brighten and soothe irritated skin (All skin type)
Gold - Soothe inflammation (All skin type/Acne skin)


It comes in a plastic container at 30g worth of modeling mask powder for one time use only. There is a plastic lid protecting the cover. 


Before opening the cover, make sure to lightly tap the sides of the container so the powder won't spill all over. It comes with a spatula inside the container for you to stir and apply. However I personally don't like the spatula provided because it is too short so I prefer to use my annie's way/ePure's spatula instead.

Spatula provided by Lindsay's Modeling Mask

I prefer using this spatula which is available when you purchase ePure or Annie's Way jelly mask

Note: When using this product, it may take a while to get use to mixing it. It may turn out too watery or too dry. It's all about trial and errors. 

How to Use: 

Step 1
On the container itself, there is a line as seen above. The purpose of the line is to guide you on how much water is needed.   

Step 2
I push the powder one side so I can pour the water until the line indicator on the container.

Step 3 
Please use warm water for this mask. If the water is too hot, it kills off the purpose of the mask but if it's too cold, the mask solidifies very fast creating lumps which makes it hard to apply.

Step 4
Pour in the water until the line then start to stir it. This steps tell you how much more water is needed. As you start stirring, it will slowly form a paste and gradually add in more water if needed.

Step 5 
After stirring and adding water as needed, it will form a smooth paste as seen in the picture above. It is very important to get a smooth yet thick consistency as seen above. If it is too dry, it dries up very fast but if it is too watery, it will be hard to apply as it will start to drip.

Step 6
Apply it onto your face with the spatula. Make sure to apply it in thick layers.

Make sure to apply it thicker on the side so it is easier to remove the mask.

Note* From adding water till applying it all over your face should take around 1-2 minutes only. Otherwise the mask would dry up before you even get to apply it on your face.

It is super hard to explain how or where to apply all the mask so here is a picture of where I apply the mask. IT IS PERFECT TO APPLY IT AND SCARE PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT! XD
* Yes it is my nail polish collection at the back. Check it out HERE

Applying it all over including your lips as it helps to moisturizes your lips too. Usually if there is someone to apply it for you, you may apply it on top of your eyes too. Use a damp cotton on top of your eyes and apply the mask all over. If you are applying it yourself, you do not need to apply it on your eyes.

Step 7
Remove the mask after 20 minutes. The reason to apply it thicker on the ends is so that you are able to remove the mask easily.

Step 8
Wash off residue with warm water and follow up with your moisturizer and you're done.

There are bits and pieces of black things in there. Don't worry, it is nothing scary as it is bits of tea-tree.

TIPS

1. Prep your skin before using the modeling mask. Prep with essence and serum for better effect.

2. Work fast as the modeling mask dries pretty fast.

3. You can scoop out half the powder if you are afraid of adding too much water making it too watery.

PROS

1. Moisturizes your skin instantly.
2. Does what it claims it does.
3. Minimizes pores
4. Improves complexion and hydration to tired skin. Tea-tree also calms sensitive skin that are easily irritated.
5. It does not evaporates unlike sheet mask. Although the outer layer is fully dry the inside of the mask stays wet.
6. It has a cooling effect due to the tea-tree

CONS

1. It takes a while to get use to mixing it.
2. First time users may not like the smell but overtime, you will get use to the smell.
3. The spatula provided is too short/small
4. One time use only at RM12.90 (BND$ 4.30) a little pricey for some.
5. Not suitable for people who are lazy or too tired for all the manual labour. LOL

RATINGS
Price - 4/5 Personally it is affordable as it really benefits my skin and does what it claims.
Hygiene -5/5 It is a one time use so just throw away the container once used. No contamination.
Quality - 4/5 Better than most sheet mask.

Would definitely purchase again. 

Where to purchase it?
1. Ebay - HERE

Beauty tools from Daiso

Hello again everybody! Gosh it's been a long time since my last post! Whatever it is, I'm back and today I would like to show you some beauty tools you can get if you happen to be shopping in Daiso. I'm sure they have it in all Daiso outlets. 

I went to Daiso a few days ago and I got these 3 items that helps with your skin care routine. 

- Silicone Moisturizing Mask for face
- Silicone Moisturizing Mask for heels
- Cotton Gloves

First item is the Silicone Moisturizing Mask for face. I'm a huge fan of Gina Darling although she is not a beauty guru, I still like watching her. She released her daily facial routine and above her mask she was wearing this silicone mask. Since I'm always using mask so I decided to get one too.


Check out her video here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZkMuYYaZFQ Subscribe to her channel!

The features of the silicone mask includes:
- Wrapping effect - work over sheet mask, it prevents the mask's serum from evaporating under air conditioning.
- With ear loops to prevent the sheet mask from slipping off when you move.
- Used in the bath without a sheet mask, it works as a face-steaming mask.
- Made of silicone material that does not have the unpleasant odor peculiar to rubber.
- Can be washed and reuse.

There are 2 ways you can use the silicone mask which is above a sheet mask or just the silicone mask alone during shower.

- Using over sheet mask.

- Using it alone in shower.

You can also adjust the size of the ear loops to fit it perfectly according to your personal preference.

- Cut along the line of the mask.

- There are two lines, cut accordingly and make sure it is not too lose so it fits perfectly without the mask falling off.

Price: RM$5.30 (incl. GST) - BND$1.79 (rate 2.96)
Hygiene: 5/5 as it can be washed and reuse.
Quality: 4/5 as it's silicone, I don't think it would last too long.

However, I would definitely repurchase it if it breaks.

Secondly, along with the silicone mask for face, I saw there there was a silicone mask for the heels too. So I decided to get it.


It has the same material as the silicone mask for face above except this is used on the heels. Dry and cracked heels is super annoying! 

Features of this mask includes:
- Heels can easily become dry and cracked, but the mask will wrap them tightly to keep the moisture in.
- Simply putting these on after a bath moisturizes your heels.
- Applying cream under the mask will be even more effective.
- Silicone material does not emit any odor, unlike rubber.
- Can be washed and reuse.
- Free size.

I would use this after shower, immediately applying moisturizer and wearing it over. Its recommended usage time is around 15 minutes.

Price: RM$5.30 (incl. GST) - BND$1.79 (rate 2.96)
Hygiene: 5/5 as it can be washed and reuse.
Quality: 4/5 as it's silicone, I don't think it would last too long.

However, I would definitely repurchase it if it breaks.

Lastly, the third item is Night Care 100% Cotton Gloves. For those who follow my blog knows that I love wearing nail polishes. Because of the nail polishes and removers, it usually dries out my fingernails and cuticles so hand care is very important for a healthy looking cuticle. (I'll be posting a different post on that)

100% Cotton Night Care Gloves.

Features of this gloves includes:
- For soft, smooth skin, apply hand cream before going to bed.
- Wearing the gloves heightens moisturizing actions.

Instead of the cream or treatment getting all over your bed sheets, phone or everything that you touch, this cotton gloves helps to prevent that. It actually helps the cream to stay on your hands and moisturizes them. 

You can also use these gloves while doing hand mask treatment. Wearing them over the mask helps to lock in moisture increasing the effects of the mask.

Price: RM$5.30 (incl. GST) - BND$1.79 (rate 2.96)
Hygiene: 5/5 as it can be washed and reuse.
Quality: 3/4 as some people may be allergic to the cotton material depending on the user's personal condition.

I would definitely repurchase it again.

January - March 2016 Favorites!

It's the time of the year! 1st beauty quarter has finally come to an end! IT'S 1st QUARTER FAVORITES!!! There are a few thing that I've fallen in love with and I can't survive without them! Let's go!

Yep! That's right, not only I love beauty products, I love candles and Ipad games too! What I have here is Yankee Candle, Modeling Mask, ePure Jelly Mask, Foot Mask, Hair Treatment and Happy Mall Story. 

Aloe Water

I love love love love loveeeee candles!! I love scented candles especially the ones from Yankee partially it's cause of the jar too. I recently purchased another one and it's the Red Raspberry and I love it!

As you can see, this one here is halfway gone as I've been lighting it almost everyday. With the current hazy situation here, the candle gets rid of the smell quickly. I can't really describe the smell of Aloe water but it has the fruity-fresh scent. It's works better than air fresher. Pretty worth the investment.

Cost - $20+ - $40+

 Lindsay Modeling Mask. 

Finally Hermo is selling it! I've been hearing great things about Korea's Rubber mask so I decided to get some. If you don't know what Hermo is, check out my post on Hermo HERE

I love this mask so much! It's cooling and super moisturizing but it is super hard to get it at the right consistency. It comes in powder form so you gotta mix it with water to get a paste.

I'll be doing a separate review on this mask soon. Be sure to check it out! 

ePure Jelly Mask

I've posted on snapchat numerous times on how much I love jelly mask! Previously I posted a review on Annie's Way Jelly mask HERE and this time it's the ePure Jelly Mask. It brightens up your skin like magic and minimizes your pores just like that! You can get it at Hermo too! Check it out and lemme know what you think!

Obsidian Silk Treatment

As you all know, I'm always coloring my hair and not once I have natural hair colour since I ended Secondary 5. Ever since I got out of school, I've been dying my hair since then and it's pretty damaged. For the new year I bleached and dyed my hair and now it's super dried up. Recently my hair stylist introduced me this product cause I'm always too busy to visit her for hair treatment. LOL. 

I love it so much! Not only it make my hair super soft, it smells great too! Totally recommend it to those who has damaged and weak hair!

Happy Mall Story

Lastly! No this is not a beauty product. This game is pretty much keeping me busy the entire week! I'm addicted to it! LOL. It's pretty fun collecting coins, building floors, bringing in new shop and etc! Be sure to check it out, it's available in the App Store for Apple Users~

-

Nail Polish Collections


Nail Polish Collections

Hello everybody!! It's been a while since I've update this site. I do update my personal blog if you follow me HERE . If yall follow me at Snapchat or Instagram @ KimmmyLoo you'll know that I love nail polishes the most and have tons of them! So with that, I decided to customize a rack for it and it's finally done! I've been dying to get my hands on it and it's finally ready and up on my wall.

I personally love collecting nail polishes and painting my nails whenever I'm free. I don't get it from a single brand only but I get it from any brand that I come across. It's pretty much a side hobby I enjoy whenever I'm bored. Maybe it will turn out to be a career in the future? Who knows?



What I have here is from Etude House, Nature Republic, The Face Shop, Skin food, Holika Holika, SASA and a few random ones as gifts from others.

I have so many bottle of polishes, sometimes i lost track of what colour I have or forgot how it looks like on my nails so I constantly have to try it on to see how the colour looks like on my nail. Getting annoyed with it, I decided to get some false nail sets from Ebay for about USD $1.70. I have the colour swatches on it to make my life easier rather than wasting cotton and nail polish remover. 


So far my favourite one is from Nature Republic and Face Shop. The way the brush length and shape is, it is pretty easy to apply. It has a pretty thick consistency too so 1 layer is enough usually.

Separately I have a box to put all my other nail stuffs. I didn't want everything to lie around my table or get tons of containers stacking it one by one to put everything in so I was complaining to my mom about it so she got me this tool box kit and I love it. I keep my stamping kit, dotting tools, nail files, clippers, nail swatches, base coat, top coat, nail thinner and a few other things in there so everything is at reach when I need it.

That's all from my nail polish collections. Stay tune for more updates~

[Review] Biore Make Up Remover Cleansing Oil

Remember last year I did a review on The FaceShop Rice Cleansing Water and it was great. If you have not seen it yet, CLICK HERE. I love it a lot but I decided to give the Cleansing Oil a try. I've heard great stuffs on Biore's cleansing product and it's been out in the market for a few years now. I, personally am not a fan of cleansing oil as I'm afraid that it would clog my pores leading to more pimples. However, I'll be giving it a try and lets see how effective it is on removing makeups.

Biore Cleansing Oil For all Skin Type.


It is a gentle cleansing oil that washes away long lasting makeup and even waterproof mascara. 

It claims that the cleansing oil has the ability to remove any stubborn makeup pretty quick and easy and even mascara. It can be used on dry or wet skin depending on your preferences. It has listed a few points such as:

- No greasy or sticky feeling on skin after use
- Does not clog pores
- Gentle and mild on skin
- Refreshing Fragrance.

PACKAGING


As you can see, it comes in a purple/pinkish bottle with a pump. If you're a regular reader of my blog you would know that I'm super picky when it comes to the packaging of the product and I prefer products that comes in a tube or with pump due to hygiene purposes. You do not need to come in contact with the content so it does not contaminate it. It also has a plastic cover over it making it easy for travelling. It locks the pump preventing it from getting squeezed during travels.

Let's put those claims into test and see how effective the cleansing oil is.

So I slap on super heavy makeup onto the back of my hands for this review like what I did on the FaceShop Cleansing Rice Water. I usually do not have such heavy makeup except for dinner events but maybe most of you all out there does. 

What I have on the back of my hands:
1. BB Cream/Foundation HERE for review
2. Blusher
3. Concealer 
4. Eyeliner HERE for review.
5. Mascara
6. Eye shadow



DIRECTIONS

For this cleansing oil, you do not need to apply it onto a cotton. Apply 2 to 3 pumps of cleansing oil straight onto your hands and rub it onto your face in circular motion massaging and melting the makeups at the same time. 

After rubbing it in a circular motion it melts off most of the makeup. It dissolves everything into a huge blob of makeup.

So for this cleansing oil you have 2 ways of removing it depending on whichever you prefer. Firstly removing it with baby wipes and secondly with water.

First was is with Baby Wipes.

Wash your wipes before wiping off the makeup as you wouldn't want to transfer any of the component from the wipes onto your skin.

With the baby wipes, one swipe and everything was stuck onto the wipes. It did a super job well done on removing the heavy makeup. As you can see, it was super clean. As compared to the FaceShop Cleansing Rice Water, the Biore Cleansing Oil removed everything in one swipe while the Cleansing Water takes two wipes.

Second way is to removed with luke warm water.

As what was stated, massage the cleansing oil in circular motion for a few minutes dissolving everything before washing it off.

Slowly add drops of water onto your skin and rub it in circular motion. When the cleansing oil comes in contact with water it turns into a milky solution and you no longer feel the cleansing oil on your skin.

After everything gets dissolved, wash it away with luke warm water. You will see that it gets removed instantly. Super magical!

Everything gets removed instantly! No extra makeup residue gets left behind. It did a better job than the cleansing water I tried previously.

AFTER EFFECT

Baby Wipes
- It wipes off right away without leaving any mess around your cleansing area.
- Gets the job in removing make up easy with just one piece of wipes.
- However, it leaves a sticky feeling on my skin.

Luke warm water
- It turns the cleansing oil into a milky white substance.
- It will be a little messier than using the wipes due to makeup residue splattering all over the sink.
- It cleans off easily too.
- However, cleansing with water leaves no sticky after effect on your skin. It leaves our skin super smooth.

CHECK LIST

No greasy or sticky feeling on skin after use

As stated above, only when you use wipes to remove the makeup then it leaves a sticky feeling. If you removed it with water, it leaves a super smooth after effect on your skin.

Does not clog pores

So far I've been using it for a week and I don't feel my pores clogging. My skin still appears to be as usual.

Gentle and mild on skin

It is super gentle when I am doing cleansing on my skin. It does not feel sticky and icky or heavy when massaging.

Refreshing Fragrance

It smells fantastic. It has a fruity apple scent to it, not too strong and not too mild, just right, 

WARNING

As stated on the product, in case your skin tend to itches while using this product, stop using and wash it off immediately. Do not come in contact with your eyes. Some may not feel the sting in their eyes but some may not. It is most recommendable not to use it around your eyes.

PROS

- It smells refreshing unlike other types of cleansing oil
- It removes heavy makeups thoroughly.
- It is cheap for 150 ml. Affordable for those who are looking out for cheap but good quality make up remover.
- Leaves skin feeling smooth.
- It comes in a pump which is good for hygienic reasons.

CONS

- Although it does a good job in removing eyeliner and mascara, it does sting when it goes into your eyes. Use at your own risk.
- Not suitable for everyone as some may experience oil seeds around your skin due to the oil clogging pores.

RATINGS

Price - RM27 for 150 ml available at Watson 9/10
After effect - 9/10
Packaging - 9/10
Scent - 9/10
Overall - 9/10

I love this product! It does the job pretty well without leaving my face filled with stickiness however I wish it is available in a bigger bottle. 

Will you purchase it again after you finish the current one?

Yes, I will definitely purchase another one once I finish using this. I will try their wipes and water too to compare which one does a better job in removing makeups.


Have you tried this product before? Love it? Hate it? Love-Hate relationship? Leave it in the comments below. I would love to hear your comments on Biore's Cleansing Oil.

Comeback for more updates for more beauty products~

[Review] Nivea Watering Lip Series [Avocado]

With the weather going on these days turning from freezing cold from the rain to freakishly hot with the burning sun. With the crazy change in the weather it has done a pretty decent job of messing up my lips no matter how much water I drank. So my mum went to Watson to grab a few things and I decided to buy a stick type of balm and I found this along the choices. 

The Nivea Watering Lip Series

Nourishing Avocado

It contains Avocado Oil and Lotus extract that helps to moisturize lips long lastingly. It is also enhanced with Hydra IQ moisture technology for deep moisturization.


It comes in a tiny tube about 1.5 cm width and about 9 cm in length including the cap. It is a light blue tube with a translucent cap. I love the colour! The lip balm is the usual white and it applies on pretty smoothly.

So much hydration is what caught my attention. So I decided to give it a try. I feel kinda disappointed thought. I love Nivea products but the Lip series was pretty much a disappointment. I've been using it every once in a while for the whole day today and I found that it's pretty moisturizing but it feels kinda oily.

As for the moisturizing level, it is pretty decent for hydration. I guess I gotta use it for a week to see if it did change the condition of my lips. However I find it not really long lasting. I find myself reapplying it quite often. Not sure if it's because I have a lot of dead skin on my lip or this product is making me peel a little bit more than usual.

It doesn't have a icky after applying on your lips but it still has a little taste to it. For me personally it is still tolerable cause it's not a strong taste to it. I can't really explain how it taste or smell but it is pretty decent. 

PROS

- It is cheap as compared to other brands.
- It comes in a stick which is easy to carry around during travelling.
- It provides a decent amount of hydration.
- Does not have a lotion kind of taste to it.
- It applies on pretty smoothly. 


CONS

- I find it a little bit too oily when applying it for the first time. 
- Moisture dries up too quickly. (Not sure if it's cause my lips were dry or it wares off quickly)
- Made my lips peel a little more than usual.


RATINGS

Hydration - 8.5/10
Application - 9.5/10
Packaging - 9.5/10
Overall - 8/10

Will I buy it again once I've finish using it?

I don't think I'll be purchasing it again. I might be choosing another type but I will still be choosing Nivea just not this particular Lip Series.

Comeback for more updates on other products that I might find along the way.
