[Review] Lovemore White Crystal & Platinum Peptide Whitening Duo Lifting Mask

My take:

Usually I don't really care whether the mask really has a brightening effect or not, but I must say that this mask does give new whitened glow to my face. Also, it has a moisturizing effect on my skin, though not as moisturizing as the Rose Crystal one because this White Crystal mask's main function is to whiten and not so much as to moisturize.

I like the fragrance as well because it smell citrus-y, like, the smell just reminds you of oranges and lemons.

Will buy again?
Usually I'm not so much of a whitening mask, but since the weather has been very sunny lately and I don't want to look tan, I would say yes, I will buy this again.

[Review] Lovemore Rose Crystal & Tourmaline Peptide Duo Lifting Mask

My take:

I pretty much love this mask because it smell really nice and it really moisturized my skin well. It has a rose fragrance which is appropriate because there seems to be quite a few rose related ingredients such as the rose crystal and rosewater.

Will buy again?
Most likely because I'm not a huge fan of moisturizing but I just love the mask.

[Review] Crystal Whitening Brightening Eye Mask

Product description:

- Reduces pigmentation and melanin formation
- Reduces dullness around the bottom eye area
- Presence of anti-oxidants to protect skin from stress & radicals
- Whitens & brightens eye bag area & smoothens wrinkles

My take:

I heard how good this line of products was so I decided to buy the different types available. I will review the others when I tried them but for now, I shall tell you how this blue-colour-packaged whitening and brightening eye mask went.

Like all masks, I used this overnight. It is a gel-like piece of mask and it feels so cute because it is all squishy and jelly-like. Application was really easy because there was no messy essence spilling all over. Actually, on second thought, I'm not sure if that's a good thing because that would mean that there wasn't much essence, wouldn't it? But I guess it's just like that.

The next morning, I couldn't see any brightening or whitening effect. But that is probably because dark eye circles are just in my genes. However, it made the area under my eye reasonably smooth.

Will buy again?
No.

[Review] Skinlite Red Wine Essence Facial Mask

Product description

SKINLITE Red Wine Facial Essence Mask is specially formulated to help re-energize and stimulate the look and feel through the formulation which combines the ultimate in ingredients with the most effective in whitening & anti-aging technologies to lift, repair, perfect and protect the skin's appearance immediately and over time. It's the ultimate investment for your skin.

After using effect: Complexion appears fresher, cleaner and more youthful. Visibly whitening, anti-aging & moisturizing treatment. For best result: use 2-3 times a week.

My take:

Firstly, I have to say I adore the smell. The fragrance of the red wine essence is not extremely strong but it's not very faint either. The only red wine essence mask I'd ever used was the one from My Beauty Diary. And I'm loving the fragrance of the Skinlite's one rather than MBD one.

As my usual facial practise, I place the mask on my face overnight so that everything is absorbed. When I wake up, it feels quite sticky, but after I wash my face, my skin feels smoother and more refreshed (though the refreshing part may just be due to the cool water I splashed myself with).

Will buy again?
I like this product but this brand has many other products which I would like to try because the Red Wine mask has been very promising. But I still have to say I don't foresee myself buying this again in the NEAR future :)

[Review] L'oreal Excellence Crème with Pro-Keratin

Product description:

Rich, beautiful, natural-looking hair colour can take years off our looks.

That’s why the L’Oréal laboratories have developed Excellence Crème – the only triple protection colourant. It’s an easy, no hassle way of getting sensational hair colour that perfectly covers your greys. It includes a comb applicator, for easy application and more even coverage from root to tip.

My take:

I didn't think this was very spectacular or really made me love it. I think it was quite an okay experience and the colour felt and looked rich.

However, I was surprisingly impressed at the after-colour conditioner. In all the hair colour I've used so far, all the conditioners came in a packet for at most 2 applications. However, L'oreal Excellence Crème with Pro-Keratin provided a conditioner in a bottle which lasted 4 to 5 applications. It's a very small bottle though but I like it very much, for the simple fact that it lasted 4 to 5 applications and the smell was very pleasant.

Will buy again?
Probably.

The blend with precious Cashmere Protein & Pearl Extract deeply cares for your hair: it leaves your hair amazingly soft and as supple as cashmere, with a gorgeous, pearly shine while ensuring an intense and long-lasting color.

My take:

This is potentially my favourite besides the Garnier one I've used before.

Upon opening the colourant and mixing and everything, there was barely a hint of chemical smell, so unlike the Revlon Colorsilk.

And even though there wasn't any hint of heavy chemical smell, there wasn't any fruity and perfume-y smell like Garnier Nutrisse Cream. In a nutshell, this product doesn't have any smell at all.

The colourant doesn't result in ridiculously dry hair after washing off the colour, which is quite an opposite to the Revlon Colorsilk.

I ADORE the after-colour conditioner. It claims to leave your hair shining like pearls and feel like cashmere, and it really did the job. I LOVE it. It smells really delicate and the scent wasn't strong at all. It just leaves me happy with the whole dying job :)

As you may have noticed, I have compared this to Revlon Colorsilk in more ways than one, and it wasn't very positive. So I have to say, overall, I will not buy Revlon Colorsilk again.

Will buy again?
Definitely! This is on par to the Garnier Nutrisse Cream :)

[Review] Luxury Gold Collagen Eye Mask

(No picture is available)

Product description:

One of a kind Transparent Technology
A sheet-form transparent mask composed of ingredients including natural extracts, collagen and purified water. Most of the essential ingredients are absorbed directly to the skin, unlike paper masks.

The product serves to remove dark circles and eye bags.

My take:

The mask is a shimmery gold gel-like sheet. I like the the feeling it adheres to my skin and it doesn't slip.

My dark circles lightened the next morning, but I honestly think it is because of the adequate sleep I had.

Will buy again?
Yes, but only if it is available in bulk. I would like to the see the effects of long-term use.

[Review] Garnier Nutrisse Cream

Product description:

Garnier Nutrisse is the only permanent haircolor creme that nourishes with grape seed and avocado oil. The nourishing color creme enriched with fruit oil concentrate, penetrates deep into hair fibers to nourish and condition your hair so it takes color better and holds it longer, root-to-tip. Garnier Nutrisse delivers rich, long-lasting color with 100% gray coverage.

Is Garnier Nutrisse right for you?

Yes:
# If you want to nourish your hair as you color

# If you want grays to be completely covered

# If you want a color creme that spreads easily, won't drip and smells great

# If you want a natural, healthy-looking color that’s silky soft


. Nourished hair takes color better and holds it longer.
. For richer, more radiant color - root to tip.
. 100% gray coverage

My take:
I love this a lot! The first thing that hits me with this product is the smell. Colour concentrates are usually ladled with chemical smells, as told by my friends and the experience with Revlon Colorsilk. However, Garnier Nutrisse Cream was totally opposite. The developer milk and the colour concentrate smell wonderful, a fruity and floral type of wonderful.

The colour coverage is as good as Revlon's. Then again, in this era, all hair dyes do guarantee good colour coverage due to better technology and chemicals.

On the downside, the amount of the product isn't a lot. Because my hair is shoulder-length, the amount was enough for me. But if your hair is really long, you will need to buy at least 2 bottles because if you just buy one and JUST realised it wasn't enough, then you will be in a bit of a trouble.

Will buy again?
YES! :D

[Review] Revlon Colorsilk

Product description:

Revlon® Colorsilk™ gives you natural-looking, even color from root to tip that stays beautiful between colorings. It is formulated to penetrate every strand with its gentle, ammonia-free formula and after-color conditioner with nourishing silk proteins. Hair looks silkier, shinier and healthier than before you colored. 100% gray coverage.

Leaves hair in better condition.

Available in a range of 40 brilliant shades*
Colorsilk™ permanent haircolor can be used on natural, color-treated, relaxed or permed hair.

My take:
The colour coverage is really good.

However, the product is quite drying. Even after using the conditioner, my hair still felt rough. However, the next morning, my hair regained its softness and there was a new shine in my hair.

The smell reminded me so so much of chemicals. It has a very heavy chemical smell. However, I was absolutely in love with the conditioner because it smell heavenly!

Will buy again?
Maybe. This has been my first hair dye so I would like to experiment more.

[Review] Bio-essence Sparkiling Lift Eye Mask

The pictures tells of the product description as well so I won't go there.

Does it work?
It didn't lighten my dark eye circles, but it did moisturize the area well.

Fragrance:
The scent was pretty good. But let's face it, there may very well be many chemicals.

Will buy again?
No. Because the product doesn't work.

[Review] Skinlite Ultra Hydrating Olive Oil Mask

Product Description

* Easy & effective “Bottle shaped” sheet type essence mask.
* 100% Natural pulp sheet prevents skin trouble and provides close adhesion to skin.
* Olive Oil provides skin revitalizing & moisturizing.
* Renewed, re-hydrated and younger looking skin.

Does it work?

The product feels really sticky and I didn't like that at all. But I used it anyway. The next morning when I woke up, my skin felt sticky, just like the stickiness initially. But when I washed the residue off my face, my skin felt really good and hydrated.

Fragrance:
The fragrance is very light. So light that people who are not sensitive to fragrances will think this is scentless.

Will buy again?
No. I really dislike the stickiness.
