Yet another mask review. The mask I'm reviewing in this post is from LoveMore - Kiss Japan Electric Ore Peptide Firming Duo Lifting Mask. That's a pretty long name! :3

Each box contains 5pcs of mask, retailing at $8.90.

Each mask contains 30ml of essence (enough left-over for the hands and legs!).

As shown from the photo above, the mask fits my face well. With the inclusion of ear hooks, the mask adheres to the skin perfectly. You can definitely multi-task.

I think... my skin is getting better, with the diligent mask-ing and new skincare routine.

As for the mask... I like that the essence doesn't feel sticky, and is easily absorbed into skin after massaging. A pampering facial treat for the skin indeed. Plus, the scent is so soothing... very relaxing! Though there isn't much of an instant firming effect after mask-ing, my skin feels nicely moisturized and supple.

I've been mask-ing diligently every other day, using this new facial mask brand from Taiwan - Kila Doll.

Shine like a Kila Doll! Say hello to fairer and healthier looking skin!

Kila means pretty & shiny in Japanese.

Kila Doll prides itself as an affordable product with superior quality, which can used on a daily basis. The mask leaves your face feeling clear and hydrated.

 

I was provided with their best sellers (30pcs!!) for review, namely Hyaluronic Acid, Diamond Platinum, Rose Moisturizing, Tranexamic Acid.

The retail price for each box is $13.90 (10pcs).

You can buy a single piece for $1.60.

Kila Doll masks are specially designed for Asian skins by a professional Research and Development group. The mask sheet is made using 100% silk wood pulp fiber imported from Japan with its ingredients formulated and manufactured in Taiwan.

Silk wood pulp creates super-thin and soft sheets, which fits perfectly to the face.

The special cut of the mask allows a perfect fit on any Asian face, and the absence of non-woven wool fibers reduce skin allergies. The masks’ highly breathable function helps the essential liquid penetrate into the skin for better absorption.

Rose Moisturizing Mask

Functions: Intensive Moisturizing & Brightening of Dull Skin

One of the main ingredients in Kila Doll Rose Mask is Rose Water. Rose Water is well-known for its skin benefits. It stimulates the circulation in the tiny blood vessels beneath the skin, reducing the appearance of thread veins and broken capillaries. The mask helps to brighten and moisturize your face, keeping your skin soft and supple.

 

Diamond Platinum Mask

Functions: Intensive Anti-Aging, Reduce Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Kila Doll Diamond Platinum Mask contains Platinum Nanoparticles which plays an important role in anti-aging, antioxidant and skin moisturizing. The mask is specially designed to slow down the signs of skin aging. It also helps repair skin cells, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, giving you a smoother and younger skin.

 

Hyaluronic Acid Mask

Functions: Intensive Moisturizing & Brightening, Improves Skin Elasticity.

Hyaluronic Acid is effective in moisturizing surface skin cells, which prevents water loss and protects the skin from dirt and other pollutants. Kila Doll Hyaluronic Acid Mask helps retain the skin’s moisture, giving it a smoother and youthful appearance. It provides a long-lasting moisturizing effect on the skin and helps improves its elasticity.

 

Tranexamic Acid Mask

Functions: Intensive Whitening, Even Skin Tone, Spot Lightening

One of the main ingredients, Tranexamic Acid, helps to reduce skin pigmentation. It not only acts as an anti-inflammation but also minimize dark spot area due to sun exposure. Kila Doll Tranexamic Acid Mask essence penetrates into the skin to dilute spots and even out skin tone. This mask also helps to reduce fine lines and dark spots, giving you a fresher and brighter skin tone!

 

Overall Review

As mentioned earlier, the mask sheet is very-very thin and translucent. It tears easily as it's super soft. The size of the mask sheet is just nice for my relatively big face with high forehead. Fits perfectly on me and doesn't fall off throughout the mask-ing session (20mins).

Kila Doll masks contain quite a lot of essence. The left-over is used on my neck, hands and legs, as usual. The essence has a light texture, which is easily absorbed into the skin. No sticky feel at all.

No irritation or stinging sensation. Just pure comfort.

The 1st mask I tried was the Rose Moisturizing one. Initially, I thought it would be my favorite coz I love the smell of rose water (think Jurlique). It smells okay but not the way I like. While I didn't see any brightening effect, my skin feels moisturized after use. Hmm... it is not soothing enough to calm the redness on my skin.

Next, I tried Diamond Platinum Mask, which is my clear favorite. It smells really good! The slight redness on my skin was almost gone after mask-ing. My skin looks so much better, more supple and radiant. Highly recommended!

I like Hyaluronic Acid Mask too. It hydrates my skin pretty well. My skin feels so soft, smooth and moisturized after use. I highly recommend this as well!

Just now, I tried Tranexamic Acid Mask and think that it's not that moisturizing, in my opinion. Well, my skin looks slightly brighter though.

For the affordable price tag, Kila Doll masks are perfect for mask addicts like me ♥

This set of super kawaii Hello Kitty masks had finally arrived in my mailbox yesterday. I'm a sucker for cute & pretty packaging. I mean, most girls ladies can't resist temptations like this... no? hehehe~ ;P

PS: Special thanks to Sarina (Secretive.sg) for spending hours just to pack the 40 parcels!!

The newly launched SexyLook Hello Kitty Strawberry Perfect Hydrating Mask >> perfect killer combination of Hello Kitty + strawberries + polka dots.

Each box ($10.90) contains 5pcs of mask (25ml).

The mask sheet is very thin and translucent. It was dripping wet with essence.

There's a lot of essence left-over in the sachet, which I apply on my legs and arms. The essence is very-very watery and smells like sweet strawberries... not overwhelming... smells yummilicious-ly good! ♥

The mask adheres and fits my face pretty well. Although the mask sheet is very thin, it doesn't tear easily (if used cautiously). I find it fairly easy to put on the mask. Well, at least easier than I thought.

I leave the mask on for 15mins. The mask feels cooling and comfy on the skin. There's no stinging sensation or whatsoever.

After removing the mask, I pat the skin gently for the essence to be absorbed. The essence absorbs into the skin pretty fast, within 1-2 mins (I think). Zero stickiness!

Recently, I'm having really bad skin. The left side of my face is still okay... but the right *SIGH* 6 angry spots!! This mask is really soothing, which helps to calm the redness on my skin within just 15mins. The strawberry essence does help to tighten up my pores (as shown from the photo above). I like that it hydrates my skin very well. My skin definitely looks more radiant than before. A must-try for beauty addicts!

Hello Kitty So-Lovely series is exclusively available at selected Watsons stores.

This perfect hydrating skincare series consists of:-

• lip balm - $7.90
• facial cleanser - $9.90
• mask - $10.90

French anti-ageing skincare expert RoC launches Sublime Energy™ - the world's first topical cream to create imperceptible micro-currents and jack up the rejuvenating, repairing and renewing process to achieve youthful skin.

I had the chance to experience this innovative product, at their debut bloggers' event. Thanks RoC Singapore & Elfaine (EK Media Pte Ltd) for the invite!

Inspired by electro-stimulation technology, RoC® Sublime Energy™ instantly recreates thousands of imperceptible micro-currents to power skin's natural repair systems. The secret lies in its E-PULSE™ Skin Electro-Stimulation Technology.

STATION 1: AMAZING LIVING ORGANISMS

What do they have in common?

They are able to regenerate its body parts.

Station 2: THE MYSTERY OF THE PLASMA BALL

Why do you attract streams towards yourself?

The human body is a good conductor of electricity. When you touch the ball, the energy is actually using you as an escape route.

STATION 3: THE INCREDIBLE HUMAN BODY

What directs these functions in our body?

Body currents (Bioelectricity) is very important for normal bodily functions, including skin health.

Our body is a giant battery. Since the day you were born, it uses bioelectricity as an electrical signaling system to optimize communication between cells. When cells actively 'communicate' with each other, skin repairs itself to stay radiant, youthful and baby-smooth.

However, as we age, these bioelectric signals between cells diminish, leading to the reduced production of essential proteins such as collagen and elastin. That's when signs of ageing start creeping up on us.

RoC's E-PULSE™ Skin Electro-Stimulation Technology leverages on Johnson & Johnson Consumer Companies' CYTOMIMIC technology*, a patented formulation that combines essential minerals to deliver bioelectric signals that mimic the skin's own signals.

*5 years of research, 10 patents, clinical and safety tests on over 1,000 subjects over 2.5½ years.

The RoC® Sublime Energy™ line consists of skincare for DAY, NIGHT & EYE. All require a special 2-step application process.

RoC® Sublime Energy™ DAY ($92)

Minimizes fine lines and wrinkles, while brightening skin and boosting radiance. Contains SPF20.

 

RoC® Sublime Energy™ NIGHT ($95)

Reduces the appearance of wrinkles, sagging skin and brown spots. Evens out skin tone. Lifts facial contours and promotes softer, smoother & firmer skin.

 

RoC® Sublime Energy™ EYE ($75) - STAR PRODUCT!

Noticeably improves the appearance of dark circles and puffiness. Regular use will visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and crow's feet, hence brighter and younger-looking eye area.

In a clinical evaluation on 34 subjects, it was found that immediately upon application, there's improvement in the appearance of puffiness >> 57%, wrinkles >> 36%, eye bags >> 33%, dark circles >> 21%.

 

Their lightweight luxurious texture makes 'em an absolute pleasure to apply!

The grey E-PULSE™ concentrate is a silicone base, which does not get absorbed into skin. When activated by moisture, these energized micro-particles act as miniature batteries that help jumpstart healthy skin functions. A continuous low-intensity flow of micro-currents is created, which fuels cell-to-cell communication to increase the production of collagen and elastin. Hence, it supercharges the skin's renewal process to reveal visible results.

The nom-noms :d~

Besides Sooryehan & Beyond, I also received Beauté Revital snail products, also from LG Household and Health Care. You can purchase 'em via The Face Apps.

 

Beauté Revital Power Snail Cream

$89.90 / 45ml

Contains 60.04% snail secretion filtrate!

An extra mild snail cream that enhances the regeneration ability of stem cells with the natural self-healing power of snails.

This all-natural snail cream uses, instead of high purified water, a high concentration of mucin, an ingredient present in the viscous secretion of snails that gives snails their self-healing ability to move across a razor blade unscathed.

Rich in chondroitin sulfates, mucin visibly reduces skin troubles and blemishes with the amazing power to revitalize skin and protect it from harmful surroundings, leaving skin smooth, clear and clean. Also, the rapid lifting effect of sweet almond proteins leaves skin firm, while natural biopolymers generated from soy fermentation maintain hydration.

 

How to use?

• Spread cream into a thin layer over cheeks and forehead.
• Lightly pat skin with palms.
• Continue patting until the viscous substance has been fully absorbed.

 

7-free:- artificial colorant-free, ethanol-free, mineral oil-free, triethanolamine-free, benzophenon-free, BHT-free, GMO-free

It is housed in a typical acrylic jar and comes with a spatula (not pictured) for hygiene purpose.

I've been using this for a month so far. This is the final step of my skincare routine, after toner and serum. That is, if I'm not using Sooryehan Fermented Overnight Pack.

I prefer to use it at night as I find that the consistency to be too rich for day use. Mildly gummy, I would say. Inevitably, it does take a while to absorb. I'll lightly pat the skin for a few mins until I feel it's fully absorbed. Once absorbed, it doesn't feel as sticky as before.

Hmm... there's one thing that this product can do without - the strong sweet creamy scent (I think it's the sweet almond proteins?), which can be rather overwhelming. Well... as long as the product works well, nothing else matters right? heh.

Overall, I like that it is effective in skin regenerating... the healing of blemish scars and improvement in natural skin tone. My complexion is visibly clearer and smoother now. It also hydrates the skin pretty well, leaving it soft and supple. Moreover, it doesn't clog pores or cause any irritations/breakouts. Thumbs up! ♥

 

Beauté Revital Power Snail Mask

$9.90 / 1pc

It contains 0.5% of snail secretion filtrate.

The hydrogel mask material is thin and translucent, and the texture is similar to that of agar-agar. It comes in upper and lower parts, wedged between a white plastic sheet and a clear film... which I've encountered slight difficulty in getting the mask out. Part of the mask doesn't adhere to the skin well. Upon applying on the mask, there's a nice cooling sensation.

I leave on the mask for about 20 mins. The essence has faint whiffs of floral, very pleasant. It has a runny consistency, which feels mildly slimy. Instead of rinsing with water (after mask removal), I lightly pat the essence until it's fully absorbed into skin. It only takes about few mins, by the way. Ahh... it feels so nourishing for the skin!

Within such a short time span, the mask has the incredible ability to soothe most of the redness on my skin (due to light extraction). It also hydrates the skin very well. My skin looks much brighter and glowy after mask-ing. Definitely one of the better masks I've tried so far.

 

Promotion:

Last month, Apper from The Face Apps (an online store with beauty products imported directly from Korea), passed me some products from LG Household and Health Care to review.

LG Household and Health Care is a big Korean company, which carries many well-known skincare brands such as The History of Whoo, O hui, Isaknox, LacVert, Vonin and Sooryehan.

I'll be reviewing products from Beyond and Sooryehan in this post, starting with Sooryehan Fermented Overnight Pack.

Sooryehan Fermented Overnight Pack

$78.90 / 80ml

Optimized Goohyodan created by fermentin 4 main Oriental herbal medicinal ingredients (ginseng, foxglove, pleuropterus multiflorus, polygonatum falcatum) provides effective defense against aging.

The highly enriched overnight pack has a glutinous and elastic texture without stickiness or causing discomfort. Leaves skin clear, moist, and firm to enable you to wake up to skin you dream about after a good night's sleep.

How to Use?

As the last step in evening basic skin care, dispense an adequate amount and gently dab while evenly applying over the entire face. Avoid areas around the eye and mouth. Massage the face gently for one minute for better absorption.

 

I like that it comes with a pump dispenser - very hygienic.

Apper told me to refrigerate it prior usage, which I did.

My thoughts:

After my usual night skincare routine, I dispense one pump of product for the whole face. The product itself is milky orange in color. Its consistency is slightly tacky. Do note that it has a pretty strong creamy ginseng scent. It smells good to me coz I like the smell of ginseng. Anyway, not to worry if you ain't a fan of ginseng. The scent disappears once the product gets absorbed into the skin, after a minute of massaging.

So far, I've been using this overnight pack for about 3 weeks (2-3 times per week). I wake up to a fresh-looking complexion, every single use without fail. It helps rejuvenate my dull, lackluster skin... tighten my pores too! I'm definitely impressed when I find that my makeup adheres to my skin better now.

And, I can feel that my skin is firmer and toned right now. Well, it might be attributed to my diligent anti-ageing skincare routine. Nevertheless, Sooryehan Fermented Overnight Pack plays a part too!

 

Let's move on to masks from Beyond...

Beyond Damage Therapy

1pc - $9.90
3pc - $26.70

This is a highly concentrated hair treatment and hair cap that contains extracts from acai berries. The dual-phase intensive care hair mask repairs hair damaged by external stimuli and frequent hair styling. It delivers all natural nutrients to each strand of dull, lifeless hair to make it silky, shiny and vibrant!

How to use?

After shampooing, apply the treatment evenly to towel-dried hair and put on the essence-containing hair cap. Leave on for 15-20 mins, remove the cap and rinse well.

 

My thoughts:

The texture of the hair treatment is thick and creamy, which doesn't feel greasy at all. Scent-wise, it smells like coconut. I apply it onto towel-dried hair and put on the hair cap. I leave it on for 20 mins. The hair cap is essential as it will help the hair treatment get absorbed into the hair. Moreover, it contains organic acai berry extract which instantly nourishes and strengthens the hair.

During the 20mins, my hair feels "stuffy" within the hair mask (in a good way). It feels as though I'm having a hair steam.

After 20mins, I remove the cap and rinse my hair. I can really feel that this one-time treatment has deeply conditioned my hair, leaving it feeling so moisturized. After blow-drying my hair, my hair feels super soft and smooth to touch. The soft and smooth effect lasts for days!

 

Beyond Bye-bye Panda Eyes

1pc - $5.90
3pc- $15.90

Designed exclusively for the eye area, this certified whitening patch delivers highly enriched natural whitening ingredients to sagging skin around the eyes and it's dark shadow reaching to the chin, instantly boosting suppleness and radiance.

How to use?

Open the package and remove the patch. Peel off the transparent film from the patch to apply the smooth side to the skin. Remove after 20-40 minutes.

My thoughts:

The thin eye mask patch material feels like agar-agar, moist and soothing on the skin. I left it on for 40 mins. I feel that it hydrates well. And, it actually smooths out fine lines on the under eye area. However, I didn't notice any brightening effect.

I guess with continuous use, the results will be much more apparent?

 

Beyond Bye-bye Smile Lines

1pc - $5.90
3pc- $15.90

Delicated anti-wrinkle patch cares for wrinkles around the mouth (smile lines) by fundamentally caring for factors causing smile lines and preventing progression to deep wrinkles. Natural essence ingredient revitalizes the skin and boosts elasticity to erase aging-related signs.

How to use?

Open the package and remove the patch. Peel off the transparent film from the patch to apply the smooth side to the skin. Apply the patch carefully around your smile lines and remove after 20-40 minutes.

My thoughts:

The mask patch material is the same as that of Bye-bye Panda Eyes. I left it on for 40 mins as well. It helps smooth out some of the fine lines and my smile line is slightly less prominent.

With just one-time usage, I can't possibly see the line disappearing. Not bad for 1st trial? :D

Other than learning about the new product, we had a hands-on cooking session with a professional chef. We get to cook our own dinner and learn healthy recipes.

Everything is prepared nicely for us. The recipes are really quite easy, considering my "expertise" in cooking is instant noodles and eggs.
