Prefer their old packaging though but this should be an improved version. :(

We give samples for customer who purchase products from us :D but for customers who insist on getting samples first, well Whimsical Needs pay for the samples so we really can't give it to you for free, BUT , good news is we decided to sell it at a really low price! :D

INNISFREE Home Spa Apricot Yogurt Pack 10ml

 I have combination skin, whiteheads on my T-zone area, discoloured scars on extraction areas. 

From some sources in the internet,

This Innisfree home spa apricot yogurt pack contains extracts of Apricot in yogurt, high in vitamin A, that is why it is very helpful in the removal of skin pimples and other skin disorder. Helps to achieve a flawless complexion. It is suited for combination skin but I feel that this hydrating and moisturising mask is suitable for all skin type. 

 This is how it looks like, small blistered pack.

 Opening at either of the corners.

 when i open, there's this whiff of very peachy, apricoty, soft candy kind of smell.

mmmm... I love the smell already!

 My skin after washing and towel dry.

 This is the texture of the mask. It's not even, like pulps of of yogurt, it can be even out.

 guess what, I thought it'll be enough for one application but was left with 80% of it after 1 application. 

I use a pin to secure it and store it in the fridge. This mask last me 5 times of usage! super steal!!!! :D

 When applied on, you can see that there's still pulps of yogurt.

 After leaving it on for 15 minutes. The white stuff either absorbed or evaporated. haha...But when I wash my face, it feels slippery and silky. I try to wash off as much of the slippery suds but it won't disappear. So i thought maybe this is how the mask functions? So I just towel dry my skin.

 Pretty amazed by what this mask can do! I feel fresh and skin feels so supple and moisturised!

If you can see clearly, my pores closed up a little :D

But i feel that my complexion turns dull. I guess it's probably because I did this 2am in the morning. 

but I love this mask, gives me such smooth and supple skin and those little bumps disappeared! love love love!!!

I like it because: gives me smooth, moisturised, and supple skin.
I dislike it because: erm... that it doesn't come in a tub? a bigger tub so that I don't have to repurchase it after finish.

Price in Whimsical Needs: RM5 

Price in retail stores: N/A yet in Malaysia

Suitable for: all skin type

Rating:
1- packaging practicality (0.8/1) - It'd be better in a little tub with lid.
2- label description true? (0.9/1)- true except on the cure skin disorder part.. well i don't know.
3- usefulness/effectiveness (2/2) -Definitely! my hydration and moisturising solution when my skin is dry.
4- Worthiness (1/1) super steal!!

Total rating : 4.7/5

Buy or don't buy? - Definitely a buy! :D

Herb No Sebum Powder (Mint) 5g

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

To start off,
Innisfree's Herb No Sebum Powder is a translucent loose powder that comes with a soft puff inside.
Unlike most white powders, when applied, it is not too thick and the face would not turn whitish after application.
I use it after make-up or after my skincare routine to keep my face shine-free.

The packaging is both cute and handy!

Soft puff included inside it!

It is sealed :)

Time to open it! :D

Oh! and did I mention the smell is soooo refreshing?
It has a light and fresh mint smell to it :)

Here's the description of this product by Sasa
Innisfree Mint No Sebum Powder is especially formulated for the skin worried by excess sebum secretion or visible pores. It enables clear, translucent and poreless skin.

I like it because: It controls the oil around my T-Zone area, therefore my face is less shiny after long hours. And it is convenient to bring it anywhere you go :D
I dislike it because: -

Price in Whimsical Needs: RM 29 only!
Price in retail stores: N/A

Suitable for: Oily/Combination Skin

Rating:
1- packaging practicality (1/1) The packaging is handy and convenient to bring it anywhere just in case you need some touch up :)
2- label description true? (0.9/1) Yes, it does control the sebum/oil production of my face especially the T-Zone area. Say bye bye to oily nose and forehead with this baby!
3- usefulness/effectiveness (1.9/2)
4- Worthiness (1/1) Shine-free face for just RM29 ? Definitely worthy of money! :D

Total rating : 4.8/5

Buy or don't buy? - Definitely a buy! Highly recommended! Plus its very affordable ;)

Rice Mask Wash Off

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


Rice Mask Wash Off, highly raved and best selling product from Skinfood.

As you can see, I'm about to finish this rice mask, finally! Took me about a year! even when I apply heavily each time. Usually i don't just stick to one type of mask, I have a few and the rest are moisturising and hydrating which can be used every day.
This tub cost RM39 ,
twice a week, it comes down to only RM0.375 each application.
cheap or what?

This is how it looks like.

It has a creamy grainy texture. The grains are not rough, very gentle to my skin unlike the coarse texture of the black sugar mask. But black sugar melts. Uhm.. I love both mask but I actually prefer the black sugar, feels cleaner.

Upon application. Forgot to snap the after pictures. >.<

This product's function is to brighten skin tone, moisturise skin and exfoliate dead skin. Well, it does brighten but no big difference. I think if you exfoliate the layer of dead skin and dirt properly, it'll certainly unveil a brighter skin tone as the layer dirt is probably the cause of dull skin tone. So if you remove that layer it'll become brighter, but not whiter. Well, not sure if my theory is right, this product is still good nonetheless. I heard from the SA the exfoliaters are actually crushed rice, but I doubt it, doesn't it becomes soft if soak in liquid after a long time? After some research from websites, it appears to be real rice. The texture is soft, like mushy broken bits of uncooked rice. It's really gentle to skin but because it's too mild, exfoliation is not quite effective. After wash, skin doesn't feel thirsty, and seemingly brighter. Not recommended for outdoorsy people, product is too mild. Recommended for people with sensitive skin. I suggest to use it as a daily gentle exfoliator or as a moisturising mask.

I like it because: skin is not dry and seemingly brighter.
I dislike it because: of the smell which I never learn to adapt to. Smells like perfumed old rusty cosmetics :( .

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

Suitable for: All skin type. This product is mild.

Rating:
1- packaging practicality (o.75/1) There's a cap probably to seal its freshness but no spoon provided... make sure you wash your hands well before scooping it with your germ-filled fingers.
2- label description true? (0.75/1) it does serve its function but product is too mild to see dramatic difference.
3- usefulness/effectiveness (1.5/2)
4- Worthiness (1/1)

Total rating : 4/5

Buy or don't buy? - A worthy buy but to rebuy... I'd like to try other masks.
