Review: DHC Medicated Acne Care Concealer

DHC Medicated Acne Care Concealer (10g)
Conceals, smoothens and resists sebum.

Description: A long-lasting concealer that covers acne marks and skin discoloration. Contains 'Fix Polymer' that is strongly resistant to skin oil, forming a thin, snug-fitting veil that adheres to the skin.
No fragrance. No preservatives.

Comes in 2 shades - 01 Natural Ocher and 02 Natural Beige??? (?)
PS: I can't remember the name of the shade in 02.

Claims to do:
- Conceals pimples, acne scars and pigmentation
- Even out roughness
- Resists sweat and stays put
- Primes the skin for long-lasting makeup application

Ingredients list

Tested on my arm. XD

FYI, I do get zits on my arm because I always rest my arm on the table lol.

By the way, I only applied the concealer on the spot without applying any other make-up products under or above it.

Likes:
- specially for acne prone skin .aka. troubled skin
- contains SPF
- not greasy
- a little goes a long way
- does not break me out
- does conceals pimples, acne scars and pigmentation(light to medium coverage)
- does not aggravate pimples
- matte finish
- sweat-resistant .aka. sweat-proof
- easy to blend
- pretty long-lasting for me :)

Dislikes:
- there's nothing I dislike about...

I have been using this concealer for 3-4 years now and I'm still loving this concealer. I tried to change to other brands' concealer in between the years and ended up I always coming back to this. Nothing beats this concealer. :) What I like about this concealer are listed above so do refer to the 'Likes' section~

It gives a light to medium coverage. It does not cover and hide all the acne marks perfectly. I mean it does cover light pinkish, brownish color marks perfectly but it does not works well for a darker reddish, brownish acne marks. After all, it only has a light to medium coverage, not full coverage. That's my opinion...because it does not cover my dark reddish, brownish acne marks perfectly or maybe... I just don't have the skill to blend it well? lol. Anyway, if you're looking for a light to medium coverage concealer for acne prone skin, this is it! :D

Review: Bourjois Effet 3D Lip Gloss

Bourjois Effet 3D Lip Gloss (20 Rose Symphonic)

Got mine in 20 Rose Symphonic

A glamorous and shimmery pink lip gloss.

Consistency and Color:
Looks kind of gooey in the tube and on the brush but... it's not when apply on the lips! What makes me so fond of this gloss is because it's totally not sticky at all! It's easy to apply on lips and it does not dry up the lips!♥ The color is between sheer to opaque shimmery baby pink and it can be build-able.

Scent:
Mild sweet fragrance

Likes:
- not sticky!
- 8 HRS hydrate;  moisturizing, totally not drying at all!
- fine micro glitter; glossy, glittery and shimmery~
- plump up the lips
- pretty color
- color is build-able
- the applicator; easy to apply
- glides on smoothly
- the scent
- comes in a variety of shades

Dislikes:
- wear off during drinking and eating

This is the only brand of lip gloss which I like and use it quite often. I have tried other brands of lip gloss before but well, this is the only one that I find it not sticky and unlike some other lip glosses, this does not have a strong sweet or fruity fragrance. Honestly, I'm a person who don't like flavored lip gloss/lip balm but I'm fine with the scent of Bourjois lip gloss. At least, it's not overpowering.

Overall, I love this lip gloss and imma getting another shade from this brand~ There are a variety of shades to choose from so... people who likes glittery, shimmery lip gloss but dislikes sticky and strong flavored lip gloss, try this. :D

Παπαγάλος πορτοφολάς !!!

Στη Νέα Ζηλανδία ένας παπαγάλος Kέα έκλεψε από έναν τουρίστα από τη Σκωτία το πορτοφόλι του με 700 λίρες Αγγλίας.

Το περιστατικό συνέβη, όταν ο 52 χρονος Πίτερ Λιτς βγήκε από το φορτηγό του για να απολαύσει τη θέα και να βγάλει μερικές φωτογραφίες. Το παράθυρο του αυτοκινήτου του παρέμεινε ανοιχτό και το πουλί, το οποίο ο τουρίστας πρόλαβε να φωτογραφίσει, μπήκε πετώντας στο αυτοκίνητο, από το οποίο σύντομα πέταξε μακριά.

Όταν ο Πίτερ Λιτς μπήκε στο φορτηγό, κατάλαβε ότι η λεία του παπαγάλου ήταν το πορτοφόλι του, μέσα στο οποίο βρίσκονταν όλα τα λεφτά που είχε πάρει μαζί του για το ταξίδι και τις διακοπές του στην Νέα Ζηλανδία.

Review: Etude House AC Clinic Intense Mask Sheet

Etude House AC Clinic Intense Mask Sheet (20ml)

Description: Formulated with Salicylic acid, mask sheet made from 100% Bamboo fibers supplies moisture.
Directions: Apply mask sheet to cleansed face and leave on for 15-20minutes. Remove mask and massage remaining solution into skin with hands.

I use this mask during "that time of the month". Y'know, girls get breakouts during that period of time. lol...

Mask sheet soaking wet "sitting" inside the pack~~

Apparently, one hand isn't enough to hold and stretch the mask perfectly so apologize for not able to fully show the shape of the mask. :x

Likes:
- nice scent (i like~)
- contains salicylic acid
- reduce pimples redness
- calm pimples
- prevent breakout
- lots of essence? serum? solution?, whatever you called it...
- does not leave a super sticky residue after application
- not greasy
- lighten acne scars/pigmentation
- essence? serum? solution? gets absorbed totally and it get absorbed really quick (quicker than My Beauty Diary mask)

Dislikes:
- for me, it causes irritation(redness, bumpy and itchy patches) on my sensitive cheeks and jawlines :(
- a little expensive

The next day after using the mask, both of my jawlines turn red(refer to picture below) and later on... my cheeks develop patches of redness too! Looks like rashes fyi. Tsk!

Close-up shot of my left jawline

PS: Spot the zit yeah~ please don't mind that lonely zit. LOL.

Perhaps I'm allergic to one of the ingredients in the mask or maybe... it's the side effects of salicylic acid...? :O

There's a higher possibility that the side effects of salicylic acid being the cause of the irritations on my skin because salicylic acid can cause side effects such as redness, peeling, flakiness, stinging, burning etc. I'm thinking this way because the irritations did not develop right after using. It happened overnight.

And fyi..., the redness ONLY LASTS for an hour and would only flare up again right after I cleansed my face. Other than that, my skin just looks perfectly fine without any signs of irritation.

- How many days does it takes for the redness to stop developing?

Well, I'm on my second day of observing so I will update you guys later.

By the way, I don't know whether it's an allergic reaction or because of the side effects of salicylic acid. Above details are based on my opinion. :)

On the positive side, despite the irritations, it does helps to reduce the pimples redness, calm and dry up the pimples. Besides that, it also helps to lighten acne scars/pigmentation and prevent future breakouts~ (I saw immediate result after one use. XD) Having said that, I kind of have a love-hate relationship with this mask. Sigh... -.-

For those who have occasionally breakouts, try this mask! They do work however, please be ready for the irritations yo! I don't know if it would affect everyone... maybe yes?, maybe not? I don't know... Anyway, it's just a warning, especially to those with super sensitive skin. XOXO :)

x---x

Update on 9th Feb 2013:

- How many days does it takes for the redness to stop developing?

For me, it lasts for 3 days. :)

So far, I'm loving the results it gave to my skin. All the nasty whiteheads/small bumps/inflamed zits on my skin are gone! woooohoooooo~ XD 

x---x

Update on 6th March 2013:

I used it again yesterday and this time, I didn't get any irritation. By the way, I recommended it to my friend and she did not experience any irritation on her first use. So I concluded that the irritation only happens to some people, depending on the skin condition and it's sensitivity. People with sensitive skin, just be warned... It's best to do a patch test prior to use. :)
