|REVIEW| AXIS-Y New Skin Resolution Gel Mask: Moisturising!

OUR SKIN IS AGEING!

I quit my job in a big accounting firm last December. As months passed, it suddenly dawned upon me that it's all fun and games until you wake up one day and realise you could've achieved so much more when you were younger and it's too late to go back and make amends. So here I am now, exhausting all means to get back to the old corporate life. Similarly, our skin ages and there is no way you can make amends if it ages beyond repair. So, why not take care of it better now with this new gel mask from AXIS-Y?

CLAY MASK IS MY BAE

I am obsessed with clay masks. I will always have at least 2 clay masks in my bathroom. I'd used them every time after I shower for 2-3 times a week. Recently, I have come across the Mugwort Pore Clarifying Wash Off Pack from AXIS-Y. Although it doesn't say on its name that it is clay mask, it contains Kaolin clay, which is known for its abilities in extracting impurities and absorbing excess oils without causing inflammation or redness.

I'M ENGAGED!

I have just recently got engaged! It was a really beautiful proposal which my fiancé poured all his heart into preparing. I have always imagined what I would do when I am proposed to but no matter how much I mentally prepared myself, I still got thrown off so much that day I did not react the way I wanted to. It also took me a few weeks to finally process what actually happened. That aside, I discovered a really good wash-off mask that I want to share with you, shall we?

HAD A CRAZY MONTH
I've been away so long I couldn't stand the itch of not writing something anymore. It's been awhile, isn't it? There was so much going on in the past one month and things are going just crazy. I had the most fun-filled month ever with my brother back home, a last-minute trip to Hong Kong and a surprise that still shocks myself even now. Let's not get swayed away by those things and focus on our special guests today: Real Fresh Skin Detoxers.

LONG TIME

It's been so long since I last reviewed a clay mask. The last one I did on Innisfree's Super Volcanic Clay Mousse Mask was more than a year ago! Okay, that's if you don't count the Nada Soda the Pore Care Pack, a bubble clay mask I got from Jolse and wrote a review in September last year. Even that one was roughly 8 months ago, also the time I started my job as an auditor in one of the big fours. Can somebody slow down the hands of time ah? LOL.

TEARS OF JOY

I've not written a bubble facial mask review in quite a while. In fact, the last one I did was in September 2017! That's almost nine months ago! Speaking of which, I've also been working for nine months now and I just can't believe how time flies. But nothing compares to the shock that us Malaysian just delivered to the whole world on last Wednesday. We have finally gotten rid of a corrupted kleptocracy and for the first time in my life, I feel there's hope for my country. 😢

|REVIEW| Rice For Skin Whitening: Skinfood Rice Mask Wash Off

IT SENT ME TO A DOCTOR
I had the worst experience when I first tried out this rice mask. I broke out everywhere, even on places I don't normally do, like my neck. I had the mask all over my face and  my neck area and I regret for not doing a patch test beforehand! I couldn't sleep and I was so bothered with my skin condition I couldn't stand looking at my own reflection in the mirror. Eventually I visited a doctor to have the problem sorted out. All he could do was gave me some pills and told me to wait it out. *sobs* For weeks I didn't want to go anywhere. Thank goodness there was no school so all I did was staying at home and searching on ways to get over it. What I came across saved my life (I made it sound so serious haha!) and my money.

|REVIEW| Mother's Day Gift Idea: I'm From Ginseng Serum

START WRINKLE CARE AT YOUR 20s

I'm 22 and I'm here introducing you a wrinkle improvement product. A wrinkle product that I actually think is good. As a K-beauty addict I've been educated by so many other believers to start wrinkle care as early as I can. When Wishtrend offered me the opportunity to review this I'm From Ginseng Serum, I took it without turning back. 

So, sit back, relax and enjoy while I experiment the serum on some of my fine line for you. Just so you know, as much as I love to review skincare products for you, I still feel very insecure about showing you closeups of my skin. You know about my best friend right? It'll be great if you could let me know whether the closeups are helping your decisions! Just a simple "Yes, it helps!" in the comment section below would totally make my day.

INSECURITY BRAGS

Talking about a pore clay mask makes me feel nervous. Because the only way I can show you how great/bad a pore clay mask is, is by showing you my own pores (and be embarrassed by it). I don't think my pores are as huge as some I've seen or terribly dirty, but insecurity is my best friend. He is always ready to nag me on some trivial matter, especially when it comes to my skin. So, you've been warned! If you proceed to click "read more", or if you are already looking at the full post, brace yourself for some close-ups of my skin.

I'm From Ginseng Serum: Pre-Review Introduction

Does the brand sound familiar to you? 

Yes! This is the brand which is known for its highly raved Honey mask! Its products went viral not just because of their good quality but also of I'm From's promises to have ingredient transparency, honest materials and no harmful additives. To continue to wow us, Wishtrend has just recently started selling a new line from I'm From, i.e. the Ginseng line, and one of the highlights is this Ginseng Serum.

K-DRAMA ADDICT
If you watch Descendants of the Sun, you surely will not be unfamiliar with the name Song Hye Kyo or Kang Mo Yeon! She has risen to her top again due to DOTS. The show is such a huge hit in many countries (note: not just Asia) that KBS has decided to air three special episodes replaying some of the best scenes from the drama. But that isn't what I am here to talk about.

|REVIEW| Lush Face Masks: Ayesha Mask Review

This Mask Smells Like Incense.

It's been almost a month since I finished the tub and I think it's better to do it sooner before I forget how the mask was. In my Lush Cosmetic Warrior Mask Review, I mentioned that I purchased the masks in Japan. Compared to the Cosmetic Warrior Mask (I will call it CWM from now on), this lasted four days longer (i.e. later expiry date). 

The reason I purchased Ayesha was because the Lush beauty assistant in Japan told me that it helps combat acne. However, when I came back home and checked online, the USA Lush website tells me that Ayesha is formulated for the reduction of wrinkles. That explains the tightening and tugging feel after using the mask! So why did the beauty assistant recommend me this? No, it could not be due to language barrier because the beauty assistant speaks perfect English. Guess we need to decode the ingredient list below to find out. 

|REVIEW| Lush Face Masks: Cosmetic Warrior Mask Review

Here comes the fresh-ingredient mask that everyone has been raving about. No matter how much I tried to resist the temptation, I've eventually given in and bought two tubs of the mask, Cosmetic Warrior and Ayesha when I travelled to Japan. If you've read my story about my journey to Japan then you know how I feel about these new masks that I just bought (and finished). But if you haven't, click here to read it!

Since these masks were made from fresh ingredients, they have short shelf lives and therefore expire quickly, typically within a month. I bought the mask for ¥1,000 (RM39.20 or US$8.95) in Tokyo and according to the Japanese tax law, because I wanted to get it tax free (price reduced to ¥926), I was not able to use it until I left Japan. That means a week went by without me using the masks. Hence when I came back to Malaysia, I have less than 2 weeks to finish up the products and I don't particularly enjoy using wash-off masks every day because I have to wash it off every time after masking. Nevertheless, I still used them diligently on a daily basis because sigh I bought them and they are not cheap for such a small tub.
