[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.
