Review: 3 in 1 - MISSHA M Signature Real Complete BB Cream, Tony Moly Backstage Gel Eyeliner, Skin Food Choco Eyebrow Powder Cake

My skin type is combination skin, with whiteheads on my T-zone area.

Today I am going to do a 3 in 1 review for makeup.
First of all, I'm going to do a review on SKINFOOD Choco Eyebrow Powder Cake #1,
Secondly, TONY MOLY's Backstage Gel Eyeliner #01
Last but not least, MISSHA's M Signature Real Complete BB Cream Shade #23

First up!

SKINFOOD Choco Eyebrow Powder Cake #1
And yes! It even smells like Chocolate!

With flash

Without flash

The brush given inside the eyebrow cake is slightly slanted so that drawing the eyebrows would be a breeze

I like it because: easy to apply, great for those who are always on-the-go ! Handy and convenient to fit in our fancy shoulder bags too!
I dislike it because: -

Price in Whimsical Needs: RM 18 only!
Price in retail stores: S$16.40

Rating:
1- packaging practicality (0.8/1)
2- label description true? (0.7/1)
3- usefulness/effectiveness (1.7/2)
4- Worthiness (0.8/1)

Total rating : 4/5

Buy or don't buy? - BUY, of course!

Next up...

TONY MOLY's Backstage Gel Eyeliner #01 Black!

It comes with a brush (Unlike Party Lover Gel Eyeliner)

The creamy texture of the gel

As you can see, this eyeliner can draw any sizes and shapes easily
Plus the color is very black

The aftermath :)

In short, I like this product a lotttt!
It doesn't smudge and it lasts pretty long!
The description says its waterproof and I think so too!
It's kinda hard to rub 'em off my eye after applying it.
My friend is also currently using this and she loves this a lot as well!

I like it because: It wouldn't leave a dark mess under my eye :)
I dislike it because: The brush is a bit too short in my opinion

Price in Whimsical Needs: RM 43
Price in retail stores: S$25.90


Rating:
1- packaging practicality (0.7/1)
2- label description true? (0.8/1)
3- usefulness/effectiveness (1.8/2)
4- Worthiness (0.8/1)

Total rating : 4.1/5

Buy or don't buy? - I'd say BUY for peeps that are tired of the dark mess under your eyes after application of eyeliner. To further avoid panda eyes caused my smudged eyeliners, apply some powder under your eyes to prevent it!

Lastly,

MISSHA's M Signature Real Complete BB Cream SPF25PA++ #23

The watery texture of the BB cream

In my opinion, this BB cream is a bit to the moisturized type of BB cream.
Because my face is a combination skin,
after applying this, my skin would be a little bit greasy.
I think that this BB cream would be more suitable for normal/dry skin
Good thing about this BB cream is that it looks natural on my skin and provides a pretty good coverage.

I like it because: watery texture makes it easy to apply, looks natural when applied
I dislike it because: a bit too greasy for oily/combination skin

Price in Whimsical Needs: RM20ml - RM 58

45 ml - RM 110

Price in retail stores: USD$45.99

Suitable for: all skin types(however not recommended for oily/combination skin type)

1- packaging practicality (0.8/1)
2- label description true? (0.7/1)
3- usefulness/effectiveness (1.5/2)
4- Worthiness (0.7/1)

And for the last picture of the day...

The compilation of 3 into 1

The 3 in 1 (half)aftermath!

Spot the difference!
Left eyes looks bigger than the right eye, somehow..
(Thanks to Tony Moly's Backstage Gel Eyeliner, perhaps..)
With SkinFood's Choco Eyebrow Powder Cake, my eyebrows looks sharper!
Fact: Did you know that most women ignore their eyebrows?
"Eyebrows are the frame for the eyes and set the expression and mood of your entire face, and therefore are one of your most important features"
(Victoria Jackson, US makeup artist)
Notice that the left side of my dark eye circles are less visible?
All thanks to the MISSHA M Signature Real Complete BB Cream #23!
Good coverage, right? ;)

Review: Skin Food Acai Berry Mask

My skin type is dry but oily on t-zone.

Skin Food Acai Berry Mask is a mask pack that quenches thirsty dry skin with abundant moisture in the extract of Acai berries from the Amazon jungle.

It contains an ample amount of vitamin C and antioxidants that hydrate intensively from within and combat premature aging skin.

Its texture is like soft jelly that contains of little exfoliating particles which can be used as a peeling gel or face scrub.

Applying on my face.

It has a fresh fruity smell.

Washed off after 5 minutes.

My skin looks good and hydrated!!!

This mask is awesome!!! It is absolutely useful for dry skin because it is moisturising and hydrating to my skin. Although i saw some negative reviews on this mask; however, I was pleased with the results I got and love it very much because my skin turns supple and brightened after use.^^ I'm gonna get one myself soon. ^^

So in conclusion,
I like it because:it intensely hydrates my skin.
I dislike it because:So far i can't think of any negative comments about it.

Review: Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Clay Mask

My skin type is dry skin. Although oily on the t-zone, sometimes I will have dry skin peeling off my nose.

This Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Clay Mask is made with today's "7 FREES" formula, that have no artificial flavours, no artificial colours, no animal ingredients, no mineral oil, no alcohol and no chemical synthesis irritant.

This product doesn't have any side effects to skin. Even people with sensitive skin can use it.

Its function is to control oil and clean pores. Besides,it has a slight whitening effect.

As it stated "pore" in its title, it can absorb sebum and clean pores. Also, it's made from the volcanic lahar from Jeju Island.

It feels like BB cream texture. Even the colour looks like BB cream.

Apply evenly on my hand to test.

Washed off after 15 minutes or after it dries (but don't wait too long!).

Applied on my face

After wash, skin feels clean and soft!

Overall, I find that this mask suits me.Normally I'll be sceptical to try clay-like mask as it'll leave my skin so dry. But this mask, I don't feel the dryness on my face after using it. It tighten my skin, and makes my skin feels smooth and clean. Besides, it also cleaned up my pores and whiteheads on my nose.Surprisingly, I noticed my skin tone lighten by a little too. ^^

So in conclusion,
I like it because: my skin feels clean, smooth and tighten after using it and plus brightens!
I dislike it because: the smell of clay

Price in Whimsical Needs: RM 55
Price in retail stores: N/A

Suitable for: all skin types(esp for oily skin and large-pores skin, recommended to use once or twice per week)

Review: Black Sugar Mask Wash Off

My skin type is combination skin, with whiteheads on my T-zone area.


Black Sugar Mask Wash off

A lid to seal freshness

Grainy texture of real sugar and this zesty smell I can't get use to the first time.

To use, wet surface of skin first. VERY IMPORTANT, else black sugar will feel coarse and dry on skin. The water helps in melting the sugar.

Apply adequate amount(about a 1/2 tsp will do for the face)

Start massaging in circular motions. This is to exfoliate dead skin and improve blood circulation to face. Leave for 10mins.

Washed after 10 minutes. Skin feels absolutely smooth!

This mask is by far the best exfoliating mask I've ever used. The result is instant! It's so effective in removing dead skin, skin feels smooth and fresh after use and slightly brighter too! I find that using this twice a week improves skincare absorption into my face. According to Skinfood Korea, it's their best-selling mask! (Malaysia's best seller is Rice Mask Wash Off)


So in conclusion,
I like it because: my skin feels baby smooth after use.
I dislike it because: of the zesty smell when I first open it, but later I adapt , I mean who'd mind when the product is so good!

Price in Whimsical Needs: RM 39
Price in retail stores: RM44

Suitable for: T-zone oily skin, Combination Skin or Oily skin . For dry skin, advisable not to use it.

Rating:
1- packaging practicality (o.75/1) Have to open the cap, the lid when my hands are wet...

Review: Tony Moly Ice Queen Crispy Green Tea Pack

My skin type is dry and oily at t-zone area.

Functions of Ice Queen Crispy Green Tea Pack are as follows:

It repairs and calms sunburned skin by moisturizing and fully hydrating it.

It prevents free radicals caused by UV rays, which quicken up the aging process.

Calm and cool skin at the same time it effectively tighten pores.

Contains 91% of moisture, protein, vitamin B, and ingredients that relieves comedones, minimise pores, and lessen skin irritation.

Provides calming, moisturizing and pore-tightening effects but don't think it works on my face.
Luckily it's just a sample :)

The design of the packaging is cute.^^

It feels like bird nest texture and is transparent with slight green colour.

Applied onto my face

Washed after 10 minutes

I find that this mask makes my skin feels smooth at first,but after a while my face became a little oily especially on my t-zone. It says that result will be more effective when kept refrigerated. I followed the instruction; however, I don't feel the freshness on my face though. This ice queen series is quite popular in Tony Moly retail shop in Singapore but I think its usefulness is just so-so for me.

So in conclusion,
I like it because:of its cute and attractive packaging
I dislike it because: it makes my face oily.
Price in Whimsical Needs: RM 45
Price in retail stores: Not available in Malaysia yet, coming soon to Farenheit 88, KL.

Suitable for: all skin type

Buy or don't buy? - Don't buy. But you can try it , may suit your skin type.^^
