OPI LIQUID SAND 'THE IMPOSSIBLE' (LIMITED EDITION MARIAH CAREY) REVIEW

Whenever I think about Mariah Carey, the first thing that comes into my mind is DIVA. So its really no surprise that OPI gives her a line that's called "Liquid Sand". This is a new variant from OPI which I believe would be coming out more in their collections.

MAJOLICA MAJORCA LASH and BROW COLORIST REVIEW

Having dark brows and light hair has always been a problem for me. I have always tried to put a little hair dye on my brows (which I do NOT recommend for anyone to do because this may cause severe skin irritation OR burn your skin) to lighten them up, but it hasn't worked.

Snoe White Whitening Detox Clay Mask Review

There is nothing better than finding a local product and totally loving it!

 Here comes SNOE, a brand I've been hearing about for quite some time, and which brought me on a trip to Trinoma just to get my hands on their products. I have to say I almost went gaga and wanted to try EVERYTHING they had out on their kiosk in Landmark, but I restrained myself and just bought 2 things, the Snoe White Whitening Detox Clay Mask and one of their soaps.


Masks are a must-have for me, but I usually go for paper masks because they're so easy to use. But I wanted to give this specific clay mask a try because it does sound promising.

What Snoe says:
Calamansi helps eliminates deep-seated dirt that has accumulated within the skin pores. The fruit can be used for whitening the skin, as well as a bleaching agent. Calamansi is rich in vitamin C and Alpha Hydroxyl Acids (AHA). It is a natural astringent that can eliminate blackheads and can dry up pimples. 
Snoe White Vitamin C-Rich Calamansi Whitening Detox Clay Mask of pure botanicals, herbs, and selct ingredients, absorb impurities and control excess oil to detoxify and renew your skin from deep within. Revitalize skin and help protect against the appearance of aging. Radiate health and beauty with Snoe Beauty Products!
Active Ingredients added to Calamansi:
  • Activated Bamboo Charcoal -- attracts and absorbs impurities. It unclogs pores and removes dead skin cells from the top layer of the skin as it removes excess oil and dirt from pores effectively and completely.
  • Kaolin -- cleanses, purifies, heals, soothes, nourishes and tones all skin types and improves blood circulation without leading to skin dryness.
  • Collagen -- rejuvenates maturing skin, elasticize and softens, delays aging skin and hydrates and moisturizes as it improves skin's pigmentation.
HOW TO USE:
Once a week or as often as needed, open pores with warm, moist towel and apply or layer mask on. Allow to dry for 5-10 minutes, then rinse well. Watch your skin shake of the shroud of dullness and take on a new clarity.
Its only 40g of product, and is pretty small in size:

I like the feel of the clay mask though--when applied, it doesn't feel goopy or heavy at all. You can also control how much product gets layered on to your skin.


Although its only 40g, there is a LOT of product there. I've already used this for 2 weeks and there's still so much left. I use it twice a week (Mondays and Fridays) since my blackheads are a real problem.

I also love the mask because my skin has improved ever since I started using it. Masks are suppose to improve your skin tone and its over-all condition. True to its form, I'm less oilier than I usually am, plus some of my blackheads have disappeared.

One of its best features though is how easy it is to remove! Most clay mask are such a hassle to take off, that you end up pulling against your skin. But this specific mask comes off with water easily!

And now, I bring to you a shot of me wearing the mask (with a hint of aegyo there LOL):


Snoe White Whitening Detox Clay Mask is available for only P249.00 at Landmark Trinoma. You can also purchase it online at their website here. Check out their other amazing products!

Tony Moly Tea Tree Nose Pack Review

The biggest problem my face has is BLACKHEADS. I cannot seem to get them out permanently so I'm always on the lookout for products that can eradicate them. This usually involves a different variety of nose packs.

Here is there the Tony Moly Tea Tree Nose Pack comes in. It was pretty cheap so I decided to give it a try.

What Tony Moly says:
Special nose pack with excellent sebum and impurities cleansing effect.
There are instructions at the back (in Korean) on how to apply it. The drawing helps!

Those nose pack is just right size for my nose. Here are the instructions I derived from the drawings:
1) Wet your nose area.
2) Peel off the nose pack from the clear plastic sheet.

3) With dry hands, apply it to your nose.
4) Leave the pack on for 10-15 minutes.

So here is the state of my nose pre-nose pack:
Very blackheady and very flat.

And here it is post-nose pack:
Pores very visible but looks a great deal cleaner than the pre-version.

I'm not such a huge fan of nose packs because they hurt a lot when you remove it. You are guaranteed a few seconds of pain.

But what I find most fascinating is looking at everything the nose pack has gathered afterwards! Look!
LOL look at all those things that came from my nose alone!!! Horrible! Hahah but at least you can see how effective the product is, right?

The Tony Moly Tea Tree Nose Pack is available at P28.00 in Tony Moly SM North Edsa.

Etude House's Be Clear Sheet Mask Review

I know I haven't been updating for quite some time and I have tons of backlog blog posts so here I go with a ton of updates!:))

Let's start with my most favorite product of all, face masks!


Here is the Etude House Be Clear Sheet Mask. I bought it because the tea tree oil mask that Etude House has was out of stock.

What Etude House says:
It has the paper mulberry extract, which makes the skin clean and transparent, and the patented ingredient of whitening beauty expenses composite containing natural vitamins. It removes dead skin cells with dark tone and wastes effectively and supplies plentiful moisture. So, it is a whitening functional Mask Sheet which makes the skin clear and fair.
[Directions] Remove and unfold mask. Use tabs to grip and place mask on face. Leave on for 15-20 minutes. Remove mask and massage remaining essence into skin. 
Definitely sounds promising, right?

For me, no big complaints about this one. I left it on for 30 minutes so I could absorb all the stuff in the paper mask. It left my face brighter and made some of the blemishes a little lighter. No drastic changes though, you should use a mask consistently for long-term results.

Etude House Be Clear Sheet Mask is available in Etude House stores for only P65!

Etude House Green Tea Facial Mask Review

My deep love and fascination for facial masks (and all things Etude House) still hasn't wavered so I'm here with another review of a facial mask!

I was scouring the racks of my local Etude House store for the AC Clinic Mask I love, but it was once again, out of stock. The saleslady recommended the Etude House Natural Mask in Green Tea to me so I decdied to take her word for it.
She said that this particular mask had the same effects as the AC Clinic one at a cheaper price. Too good to be true, right? I AGREE.

What Etude House says:
Essence mask contains green tea extract that soothes & comforts stressed and fatigued skin. Tension fit design for improved facial adhesion and comfort.
[Directions] Apply masked sheet to cleansed face and leave on for 20-30 minutes. Remove mask and massage remaining solution into skin with hands. Recommended interval for mask application is every 2-3 days for maximum efficiency.
The mask is super moist as all Etude House masks are.

Results? I left this on my face for about 40 minutes. My skin definitely looked a bit refreshed (can you say perked up for skin?), but pimples weren't toned down like the after-effect of the AC Clinic Mask. They remained the same--looked the same, just sitting there.

The salesday told me this Green Tea mask targeted break-outs, I bought it because I was breaking out but it just didn't work. Not really a good substitute, if you catch my drift. But good if you're looking for a cheap facial mask that will make you look refreshed!

Etude House Natural Mask in Green Tea is available in Etude House stores for only P58!

Etude House AC Clinic Mask Sheet Review

My first mask ever to try from Etude House! I am sooooo addicted to mask sheets, whenever I put one on, I feel so relaxed and comforted even if I'm doing nothing.
This is the AC Clinic Mask Sheet. I chose this variant because I heard great things about the line and I wanted to try it out for myself.
Etude House says:
Formulated with Salycylic Acid, mask sheet made from 100% Bamboo fibers supplies soothing moisture and relief to acne prone complexion. 
[Directions] Apply mask sheet to cleansed face and leave on for 10-15 minutes. Remove mask and massage remaining solution on skin with hands. Recommended interval for mask application is every 2-3 days for maximum efficiency.

Inside this pack is a very very moist mask sheet:
BOO!!! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!^^
The mask was pretty big for my face, but it held on nicely. The scent isn't overpowering. I left this on my face for around 20 minutes--then I took if off and massaged the remaining solution on my face until it was fully absorbed. A lot of redness definitely disappeared and my face was left feeling very soft and brighter.

You should definitely only use this in cases when your complexion is prone to pimples or you're breaking out. If your face is clear, use another mask because Salycylic Acid targets those darn pimples and acne.

Mask costs P128.00 in Etude House, SM The Block Branch.
