2018 Empties EP.1

Hello everyone ( ´ ▽ ` )b

It's time to clear up trash!






1.belif The true whitening essence 

 Begin with this white beauty , the box,the bottle, and even the contains ,they are WHITE. 
Let's talk about the contains, belif the true whitening essence is light milky-essence consistency , contains nutmeg and you'll notice when you spread it on . The scent , No joke
No mineral oil, no synthetic fragrances, no synthetic colors, no triethanolamine, no animal-derived ingredients..
I didn't get 'WOW' result on whitening tbh ,it give a light hydration and milky soft texture is comfortable to apply .

Repurchase? No , but i'll still eyeing others belif products .



2.Bifesta Moist Foaming Whip 

-Carbonated foam makes your skin clean and moisturized -
It is a LPG gas bottle , have to shake before pressing and create a cloud-mochi foam. It didn't show up well in photo because this was last pump from the bottle .Please search the advertising video from youtube , it really create great fluffy but dense foam. The packaging is girly and cute with some pink floral pattern .
The product itself smell like lemon soda without sugar , no overpowering and i enjoy use this during daytime . I squeeze about a pingpong ball size and pounce onto my face, my skin feels rolling onto a softest cloud .
Cleansing power is moderate and my skin turn cotton soft after rinse off .I only use it as daytime cleanser , i prefer cleanser that gives higher cleaning power at night . If you have oily or combination skin i suggest you to try out the oil cut or brighten up version.
Made in Japan.
Repurchase? using second bottle now
FYI, this cleanser use up quickly . It only last about 8 weeks .


 

3.Clarins Masvelt Body Shaping Cream 

-Targets stubborn fat,firm,redefines
A dense thick cream with floral scent . It's feels excellent to apply and velvet touch when its done.
My stubborn fat remain hard, it didn't help much with it but it does good job in firming up .
It helps to firm up my thigh and it also provide well moisture on skin .
I use it as moisturizer for my lower body .

 Repurchase? Yes . I haven't found any better yet .


4&5 

Dior Beautifying Body Milk 

illi ceramide ato lotion

I put these together because i use them as combination.
I received Dior beautifying body milk as a gift and i really adore the scent .OH MY.
Signature J'adore scent ,with downy soft milk texture plus a pretty bottle .I wish to apply this to pamper myself everyday unfortunately i have sensitive nose , i sneeze continuously whenever i put it on .
The scent is potent and long lasting .  It's make my bed sheet,sofa ,clothes smell so J'adore. I found the scents are unfriendly with my sensitive nose so i mixing with unscented body lotion -illi ceramide ato lotion.
illi ceramide ato lotion have no scent , light milky gel consistency . It has light to medium  moisturizing power,skin feel soft and not sticky after fully absorb.
The scent and moisturizing power is just nice after mixing up . Well moisturizing and i still smell good without overwhelming

 Repurchase? No for dior beautifying body milk -because of the price .
illi ceramide ato lotion - i brought cream version for my daughter.



1.Innisfree It's real squeeze mask set Green tea (20pcs)

It is a deluxe version which contains 20 pieces in a box . It gives hydration and scent is not overpowering . Innisfree is a great option for inexpensive face mask
Repurchase? I'll get different flavor(?) innisfree face mask from time to time. 

2.illi total aging care mask Green tea (4pcs)

View full review here
Repurchase? Maybe .I like it but not much online store carry this brand .

 3.illi moisture face mask Lotus ( 10 pcs )

Normal paper mask . Didn't shown up any remarkable performance .
Repurchase? No

4.Dr Morita Collagen repair essence facial mask (5 pcs ) + illi total aging care green tea mask (4 pcs)

Dr morita mask review
 illi face mask review 

  Repurchase? Yes for both

5& 6. Dr Morita Face mask -left to right
-hyaluronic acid moisture essence mask
-volcanic mud whitening essence facial mask
-snail repair essence ultra slim
-nanopeptide whitening essence facial mask

Repurchase? Yes i enjoyed to use Dr morita face mask . They're inexpensive ,didn't contain overpowering fragrance and  gives good amount of hydration .
*they're not completely scentless , still contains very mild fragrance .




IOPE Plant Stem Cell -Skin perfection special gift set 

Contains:
1.Softener 25ml
2.Emulsion 25 ml
3.Cream 15 ml
Softener is liquid gel consistency . It gives good amount of hydration and pleasant to apply .
Emulsion is thick milky lotion consistency , It helps to form a moisture barrier to protect skin from drying . For combination skin , you can skip the cream because these two combination are moisten  enough .

The cream is only suitable for dry skin for my opinion . It may look 'watery' in the photo but eventually it gives heavy moisture to skin . It suitable for people who lack of water and also oil.
As shown in photo , cream is definitely thicker and more balm-y.
Both leave sheen finish after absorb .

 I found this plant stem cell line are more suitable for dry mature skin .It's much oilier and it smell similar to old style perfume .

Repurchase? No.
Freebies during purchase at gmarket.



 Moist,diane
Botanical 9 herbs shampoo
Moist,diane 
Botanical moist shampoo

1.90% naturally derived ingredients .
2.Uses highest level of plant-derived organic ingredients when possible .
3.Uses moroccan argan oil as cleansing agent .
3.No silicones .
5.No sulphates
6.No parabens .
7. No artificial colourants
8. No mineral oils
9. No petroleum surfactants .
10. No ethanol .
11. No animal-derived ingredients .
12.No animal testing at ingredient level.
13. No animal testing during manufacturing process.
14.Human patch test carried for all products.

Okie long story short , there have a long promise list printed on bottle , is it all necessary to have a great healthy hair? YES ,let me explain why
 
1.90% naturally derived ingredients .
Higher percentage of natural goodness.

2.Uses highest level of plant-derived organic ingredients when possible . 
Contains great quality and high percentage of plant ingredients . Less chemical less botak.

3.Uses moroccan argan oil as cleansing agent . 
Most of cleansing agent/lather producing agent that we found in shampoo are SLS (Sodium lauryl sulfate ) which derived from petroleum or palm oil .  SLS will dry out scalp and cause itchy,irritate and flacks .
Moist diane using moroccan argan oil which doesn't dry out scalp and also gives nourishing .

4.No silicones .
Silicone doesn't penetrate the hair/scalp , it form a coating on hair or scalp to block penetration of others ingredients .If you wash your hair everyday but still facing oiliness and extra sebum producing , its time to quit silicone in shampoo.
If you really needs silicone coating on hair to look less fizzy, you may pick that in your conditioner and avoid scalp.

5.No sulphates
As i mention just now at (3) , sulfate/sulphate ( they're same things ,sulphate is uses in british english ) are invasive and overbearing for sensitive and dry scalp .

6.No parabens .
Parabens is a widely used preservative in personal care products , shampoo/skin care/lotion etc. There some study link parabens with cancer. I'm not entirely avoid parabens, but since they avoid it , its an additional point.

7. No artificial colourants
It is not a shampoo that able to dye your hair . So why do we need colorants ?

8. No mineral oils
it doesn't bring benefit to hair or scalp , not to mention it will also cause oily dandruff .

9. No petroleum surfactants .
refer (3)

10. No ethanol .
Ethanol is a kind of alcohol liquid derided from sugar cane or corn . It functions as solvent or astringent . It's ok to use in low concentrate . Avoid ethanol if you looking for alcohol free shampoo .
11. No animal-derived ingredients .
12.No animal testing at ingredient level.
13. No animal testing during manufacturing process.
14.Human patch test carried for all products.
Cruelty Free product- Not tested on animal.
Don't worry if you worry about allergy test , it have done on human. It suitable for babies too .

I didn't get profit from this review , felt pleased that i discovered a great shampoo and wish to share with you'll.
Okie now back to my review.
The bottle/packaging is in translucent diamond pattern  , you can see how much product left in the bottle easily . Liquid are clear and runny , Green bottle (moist version) smell botanical with a hint of peach . White bottle (9herbs) is truly herbs scent without overwhelming . I can still barely smell it after 3 hours .
I wash my hair every alternate day and i didn't feel any itchy or uncomfortable on scalp . I found moist version (green bottle ) are more friendly for my dry hair . If you have damage/perm hair , i highly suggest to try pink bottle (i'm using it now and enjoyed!).
FYI , i need about 3 pumps for my hip length hair .
Made in Japan.

Repurchase? Definitely YES

SANA NAMERAKA soy isoflavone bubble pump cleansing foam

I really enjoy to use bubble cleanser in daytime , this is the second bottle in this post.
Sana nameraka bubble cleansing foam have less density compare with Bifesta foaming whip . Both  feel soft and clear without dryness after rinse off .
Oh ya it did mention should be use in the daytime  . Did you notice the word printed on the sticker
'朝', it means morning.
I enjoyed the products from Sana Nameraka , and this wouldn't be the exception . The only downside for this cleanser is the lifespan, finished up in 2 months.

 Suisse Programme Gigawhite Fresh Double Action Exfoliating Mask

This is a 2-in-1 mask , it contains both chemical and physical exfoliate . The inner tube is white creamy consistency , and outer layer is blue gel with tiny grains (it didn't show up well in photo ). The concept for this 'unique' packaging is to make consumer to get two type exfoliater in one squeeze. BUT unfortunately it's darn hard to squeeze a good balance between blue gel and white cream  . Oh ya this combination looks like toothpaste lol.

The progress is normal, no strong fragrance , slightly sting my eyes, started feel tighten up after ten minutes . It contains grains so i scrub in circle motion before rinse . I can still notice a few grains after i wash my face , its difficult to remove all so i switch to use it during bath time .

It gives whitening effect instantly , but doesn't last long . Those hard-to-rinse tiny grains also helps to smoothen my skin . Adjust the time that the mask leave on your skin if you have dry skin type.

Repurchase? No .

 This is one pump from each tube , that side with yellow translucent is gel consistency with citrus scent  . Another side is white creamy consistency with floral scent . Powdery finish and leave slightly white tint .

Brightening result is visible and instant but back to normal after cleansing . I only use at morning because i don't need tinted product during nighttime .My skin look healthy and glowing after apply .

It didn't help to brighten my skin other than tinting.

Repurchase? No

Empties(Dec 2016 to Feb 2017 ) Feat.Innisfree,DrGL,SK-II,Hera,Lirikos,illi,Ryoe

Hello everyone =)


Here is my updated empties record (from Dec 2016 to Feb 2017 ) .


1.Innisfree Perfumed Diffuser -Gardenia 0717


Top note :Lemon , Jasmine tea
Heart :Gardena, White Peach , Rose Petal , Freesia
Base:Cashmere Musk , White cedarwood
100 ml

I got this at my local innisfree store , price around RM70 +- , price is reasonable and smell so great and girly . I know this from one of Taiwan youtuber name 'Hellocatie' , she describe this as - a scent that appear in pretty girl bedroom .

I not well in describe a scent , this smell girly but not teenager or mature lady , it just well locate at middle of them .
Rating :85%


2.DrGL  Restore Gel Mask

100ml

I got this at Sephora online store ( sadly my local sephora didn't carry this ) . I like this gel mask really much . This gel mask mainly helps to calm down my angry red face and also gives hydration .

It didn't make me feel squeezy juicy after apply , but this is the product i will reach whenever i get sunburn or allergy . It contain beta glucan , various plant roots extract and camomile extract （and it is originally blue without any coloring )

DrGL products are made with well formulated and good quality , and for sure their price range are higher , if you have sensitive skin or get sunburn easily , i highly recommend pick this gel mask for a try .

3.Body buddy eco ennea moisture up body cleanser

700g

I got this because this body cleanser using ALS(ammonium lauryl sulfate ) as cleansing agent rather than SLS . This body wash lather well and smell good, but not 'moisture up' that what i expect from the title .It is not drying but it is not moisturize neither , i would still need to apply lotion afterwards .

I wouldn't say this product is bad , but just doesn't live up what i expect from the name ' moisture up body cleanser' .

4.Sana Namerakahonpo Soymilk Cleansing Wash

I have done a full review here

I adore this face wash , it cleans well and leave my skin feel mochi soft .
Rating : 80%


5.SK-II Skin Rebooster


I have done full review here
 *with others SK-II face mask

This gel mask not bad , it did some hydration and remove impurities at the same time .But i personally doesn't think that the result suit the price (rm 300 with only 75 g).
Rating : 70% 


6.Hera purifying cleansing foam

200ml

Yes , it is 200ml, a HUGE bottle and this cleansing foam last about a year in my bathroom . It foam well and smell great ( Hera skin care smell really good but if you are the other side which prefer fragrance free product , this definitely not your cup of tea ) . It did a good job to cleans the skin and i will recommend this for people who have oily or combination skin because i felt slightly dry around my eye area .

Rating : 77%


7.Hera Aquabolic Moisturizing Emulsion

30ml

This is a trial kit size and last for about 3 weeks (I use in my morning routine ) . It have good smell , nice absorb and leave a thin layer moisture 'protection' . I unable to finish up because it is hard to shake/pour the leftover product from the bottom of the bottle.
Rating : 77%


8.Lirikos Marine Energy Hydrating Pulse Ampoule

30ml

Lirikos is a korean brand under AmorePacific , it may not famous in others country but Lirikos is korea medium-high cosmetic brand and Ampoule is their main product .

Lirikos divide into two :
Lirkos - Luxury skin care brand ,you can found it in department store . Nice packaging and their ampoule are in vial,to ensure that everytime you use , they're fresh and active . Target more to collagen and prevent aging .

 Lirikos Marine energy -  Lirikos Premium line  , price range -medium . Packaging are more plasticy and not luxurious as Lirikos . Target for hydrating and basic care .

Oh ya and they make foundation cushion too , i heard a lots of good review .

Ok , back to this Hydrating pulse ampoule .
First the packaging , the bottle is thick and stable plastic with a good pump.I will get the right amount of ampoule everytime i twist open the bottle ( same with Lancome Advanced Genifique ) .
This bottle last for about 1 month plus for me . It provides good hydration and i can feel my skin moisture level are enhance within a week .

The consistency is clear and runny , feels like a lightweight essence . (

The only negative side for this ampoule is.. It smell overly perfume，It is strong and lasting .
I think because they use seaweed or marine ingredients in their product and those material doesn't smell good so they use fragrance to cover it .

I got this around Rm100 at gmarket(with a bunch of freebies) , for me it worth the price , because it gives great result and i feel they doing good in everything-Packaging , ingredients selection and price.


9.Lirikos Marine Energy Hydrating Pulse Serum

 20ml

This is a deluxe sample that i got while i purchase Lirikos Hydrating Pulse Ampoule , i use this serum in my morning routine because it is lightweight and i don't need to spend more time to wait it absorb . Although the consistency may look thick in the picture but once it spread on my skin it change into water droplets and drink up in a minute .

This serum having the intense perfume/fragrance  (I found that most of the Lirikos Marine Energy product having this common disease ). Please avoid this if u have sensitive nose or allergy to fragrance .


10.Rohto Melano CC - Medicating intensive spot correcting serum

20ml

This is a vitamin c serum , and active vitamin c is typically thought to be unstable to use in skin care because it will get oxidize easily . This japan company - rohto use a new technology that able to store vitamin C in a tube and this serum are also contains vitamin e and others ingredients that great for prevent pimple and moisturizing (I cant read japanese so ... )



Although the name is 'serum' but it is in a oil form , a lightweight moisturizing oil . It absorb quickly and i can smell sour citrus scent every time i apply .

It helps to fade out acne scarring and supply moisture to my skin , i must say it do very well with the price (Rm 45 -not include postage , i got this from rakuten japan)

Rating :88%



11.Ryoe Shine & Moisture Shampoo

500ml

Most of Ryoe shampoo smell oriental herbs or medicine but this is an exception , this smell grass and floral - truly floral not sweet or perfumey type .
The floud is translucent and form up a good amount of bubble , cleans my hair well but doesn't leave it over drying .

Rating :78%



12. illi hanbang total aging care cream wash


This is a body cleanser but in cream form , if you found normal body cleanser/shower gel are too dry for you maybe you can switch to cream type . This is not an outstanding cleanser if you compare the cleansing or moisture power with others , what really make me fall in love with this body wash is the SCENT.
The scent is combination with ginseng, herbs , and hint of floral that make me feel so luxurious and admirable . I enjoy my shower time even more with this , love it ♥♥♥♥♥

Rating: 85 %



13.Sunstar Ora2-Stain Clear Peach Leaf Mint

I not sure whether this really helps to remove/clear stain , but this toothpaste make me enjoy my brushing moment , haha . I used to be a person who don't like to brush my teeth ( i know it is terrible ..) because i'm not enjoy that strong minty feel. I have try some toothpaste which totally without any mint taste but that doesn't feel right for me until i found this tooth paste . This toothpaste taste(?) well with combination peachy and mint which a Big plus for me .

Rating: 90%



14.SK-II Cellumination Mask In Lotion


Full Review here
*with others SK-II Toner

I enjoy to apply this whenever i need extra moisture boost . I like the hydrating power , scent , packaging , almost everything beside the price , LOL

Rating : 88%


15.Suisse Programme Cellular Boosting Solution

Full Review here

This is my 3rd or 4th bottle , I use it every morning to de-puff my jiggly puff face . This not a face slimming product but i found the consistency is suitable to massage without rolling 'dust'. And i brought too much during sales ( 5 bottle , lol) , so now i must work hard to finish stock before it get expire .


16.Belif The True Anti-Aging Essence

*This is a sample



Consistency is runny liquid ,the essence is two layered (With calendula whipping cream and acai berry essence ), so i need to shake the bottle and combine it before apply on my face . It smell berry wonderful and leave a thin layer of moisture barrier afterward .

I can't tell the  anti-aging power because it just a tiny 5ml sample size .

Hello everyone ,

I got some Korea mask sheet from gmarket , so i'm going to do a short review for them , let's start !

It's quite much here .



1.Holika Holika Lazy & Easy character  Mask Sheet
I'm a huge fans for gudetama (if you haven't know what is it ...)


Watch his video , is cute and lazy, haha

-The mask itself is cute , before putting on my face . It look weird on face lol

-paper is hard , just imagine a wet cardboard

-Watery essence ,didn't keep my skin moisturize

-can definitely smell the fragrance

Conclusion :It just cute .LOL




2.Aekyung D+ solution brightening
-Thin and slight rough paper ( not meticulous but still conformable on skin )
-Milky-gel essence

-the scent is combine lily floral and a hint of medicine
-paper cutting fit me nice and well but i wish it can be slightly longer to cover all my forehead .
-the amount of essence are just enough

This mask is out of my expectation , it really brighten up complexion and gives some hydration .
I may make my purchase if they're on sales!
I haven't discover other product from Aekyung yet , anyone who have try before?
please comment and let me know

After put on : Oil 25.2 %     Water 56.2%


 
3. illy hanbang bio lily moisture
-full of lily scent , is light and comfortable
-transparent liquid consistency essence , and is just enough for one usage ( nothing left in the bag after i pull out the paper )

-paper is slightly harder and thick ( still cozy fitted but not as fine like others )

-non sticky essence and didn't feel heavy for combination oily skin

-started dry out after put on 10 minutes

After put on : Oil 26.9 %    water 59.9%




4.Verite real power shine up
-soft paper , and big enough to cover my whole face
-no extra essence , just the right amount
-light fragrance scent
-didn't get the 'shine up' effect , but it did the job hydrate my skin for entire day
After put on : Oil level 30.2%     water level 67.3%




5.Pascucci Aloe good face eco mask sheet
-Thin and soft paper
-transparent liquid essence , there are lots of essence in the packaging

I remove it right away because the scent is definitely too strong , not fresh or aloe plant smell neither  , is just pure artificial perfumy .




Following with a few Nature Republic face mask (Gifted by my family when they travel to korea )

6.Nature Republic real nature mask sheet-cucumber
-Thin paper,transparent runny liquid essence
-Fresh scent but not truly cucumber smell

-Big paper, wide coverage
After apply : oil 37.6 %   water 83.7%


7.Nature republic real nature mask sheet - rose


-Thin paper and fit my face well
-light weight transparent liquid essence

 After apply: oil 27.0%    water 60.1%


8.Nature Republic real nature mask sheet -Green tea
-Thin paper and fits well
-natural and authentic green tea smell ( no funny sweet scent )

-Gives hydration but not greasy . Recommend for oily or combination skin because it wouldn't burden or gives too much moisture

After apply : oil 25.3 %    water 56.3%



9.Nature Republic real nature mask sheet - avocado
 -Thicker paper compare with others Nature republic mask sheet in this post but still soft and fits well on face

-White milky essence , consistency is like a light emulsion

-surprisingly this doesn't smell 'green' avocado ,it is more to light floral scent

-it last longer on the skin , it started dry out after 25 minutes

Avocado one definitely gives more moisture then others flavor , i recommend this for people who have dry skin because it may feel heavy for oily or combination skin .


As conclusion , Nature Republic real nature mask sheet is good for the price and they have lots flavor to choose .


And my favorite  in this post goes to .........

 Tadaaaa
10.Innisfree it's real squeeze mask -Acai Berry
 -Extremely soft cloth-like paper, although it look thick but it is truly tender and stay on skin well
-light and pleasant berry scent , not overly sweet/sour/artificial

 -light emulsion consistency essence

-hydrate power last about 2 days
After apply : Oil 34.3%     water 76.3 %


It gives the most hydration that i can feel immediately , my skin feel supple and feel like mochi . The emulsion-like essence absorb well after massage.
I love this mask and going to repurchase very very soon . The price is reasonable and quality is great .
