The WORST Foundation I Have Ever Used!

The WORST Foundation I Have Ever Used! 

Ok guys, It's rare for me to buy the wrong product and hate it so much that I would swear that I will NOT buy it ever again! I normally do my research and get samples to try it out before I buy it! Especially with high end products, I expect I get what I pay for. 

But this time I bought the WORST foundation I've ever used in my entire life! 

Well, you all know that my skin is very problematic, it's oily, acne prone, large pores, black heads, acne scars, dry on the cheeks and super oily at T-zone.

After going to a skin specialist and getting some treatments from them, the guy there told me that I shouldn't be using my Chanel foundations since my skin is so acne prone, as it will clog my pores and give me more break outs. He suggested that a Mineral foundation would be a lot better for me, won't clog pores and better for the skin, you know the usual rant about it blah blah blah..... so he suggested that Youngblood is a good brand for problem skin, its especially made for sensitive skin. 

And there I go, went to the store and got a liquid foundation and a power foundation for myself! 

Youngblood Liquid Mineral Foundation and Youngblood Mineral Powder Foundation

Product review - A miracel in a jar? does it really work?

A product would fix all your problems and more

 

 

I believe most of you are now have already heard about the Michael Todd's skincare line, in my previous review I've talked about the acne/oily skin regimen. and here I got two more product to talk about! 

Organic Lemon AHA+DMAE toner - The reason that I bought this tome is that AHA is famous for uneven skin tone, discolorations on  the skin,can lighten up acne scars etc.and DMAE can firm, lift and tight up the skin. I use this every night after washing my face, this toner smells divine and does not dry my face up, my skin would feel very moisturized and plumped, and makes the application of my other face products a lot more easier. I have seen some improvement on my acne scars but im not sure if is this or the KNU cream :/ but I certainly do LOVE this toner. 

Anti-Aging Face Lift KNU - here is the miracle in a jar! it claims that "heal, repair and speed cell renewal while providing antioxidant protection against further damage. Gently firms, lifts and tightens facial sag almost immediately while reducing density, volume and depth of wrinkles and loss of elasticity over time to transform skin texture to appear more youthful looking." It does all those without BOTOX but with 70% natural ingredients, sounds pretty good right? 

ok I will tell you my all thoughts on this 'miracle in a jar'. My routine is put this on after washing and toning my face, i would put this all over my face includes my eyes/eye lids and also down my neck.  the funny thing about this cream is rather drying than moisturizing so after putting this on I will still need to put my moisturizer over this cream. After you put this on you can immediately feel that the skin is tightening up, but I dont think its enough for you to visibly see the lifting effect. (or maybe because my face isnt all that saggy yet lol) The special key ingredient in this cream is snail serum, which is the sticky, gooey, smiley snail trail that they leave behind when they move. i did some research on that apparently it's ridiculously popular in Asia especially in Korea and Japan!

it's said to be a very good healing and anti-aging agent.

Now I think this thing does a pretty good job on healing my skin, and getting rid off my acne scars. at the same time it heals any breakouts on your face. so far it hasnt give me 1 pimple! absolutely happy with it! but not so happy with the price! i got this on sale at $50 on their official website, they usually sell it for $150! i've been using it for a month and its almost half empty. I've heard some people got this cream on livingsocial.com for only $25 I dont know if they ship it overseas, but worth to try tho. 

Overall i do think the cream is worth the splurge, I wouldn't pay for $150 for it, but $50 i think it's okay for me. 

Thanks for reading everyone!

Product review - The Body Shop Blue Corn face mask

Hey everybody long time no see, that's because I'm in middle of moving, everything has been packed up :) blogging on my phone right now. lol

Lets get straight into this, so the Blue Corn face mask from The Body Shop is a 3 in 1 deep cleansing scrub mask, best known for oily skin. WARNING if you have sensitive or dry skin STAY AWAY from this mask. 

Let us have a look at the key ingredient in this mask 

• A blend of bergamot, geranium and ylang ylang essential oils - includes oils that are renowned to help balance an oily skin type. Provides an uplifting and sensual aroma during use.
• Blue corn powder - gently exfoliates the skin, removing dead skin cells, excess oils and dirt.
• Glycerin - is an effective moisturiser which helps improve softness and maximise hydration.
• Kaolin clay - helps control shine. Deeply cleanses, drawing out impurities from the skin. Is a mineral that helps to restore the skin's natural balance

Even with the natural ingredients in it this mask, it still can be pretty harsh for some skin types. It really stings at the first time when i put it on, so i washed it off quickly. thank god my face wasn't red or anything. so later on i decided to give it another try, the second time wasn't too bad, it was more a tingly feeling than stingy. i normally leave it on my face for about 15 mins, it gets pretty tight and hard on your face.

when i wash it off, I wet it and gently rub it in circular motion, the scrub works really well to get rid off the rough and flaky skin. 

After wash it off, immediately put on your face products moisturiser/serum whatever you use after washing your face. because this will soak up all the oil on your face to the point your face will get so dry and so tight that you will need tons and tons moisturisers. 

Pros: soaks up the oil, really deep cleanse your face, didnt break me out,  exfoliates. 

Con: harsh, very drying. 

Will i buy this again??? the answer is NO! i still rather my Lush Cup Cake mask better :) will stick to it! 

Let me know what do you think about this mask? and what's your favourite mask?

Take care

The perfect face maks for all skins? or not...

MASK MASK MASK!!!!!!!
Hi all, here is another mask. The famous famous Fresh Rose face mask has been one of the most popular mask on the market, it said to be hydrating, calming, and good for all skin types : oily, dry, sensitive, combination, acne prone, you name it! As a 'Maskholic' I thought I might give it a go. 

It has a jelly type of consistency,  u can see the rose petals in it. Usually face mask with jelly consistency are hydrating and won't clog your pores, which is perfect for those with large pores and acne prone skins. It contain cucumber extract and infused with crushed rose petals, it claims that its gentle soothing, help to retain moisture and tighten pores.  

Well I've used up the whole jar, and for my super oily acne prone skin, unfortunately I will have to tell you guys it didn't do that much for me. It smelled nice, and it was hydrating to an extended level, I think there are others masks out there are better than this one in terms of hydrating. 

Pros: It smells nice, organic, gentle, didn't break me out, can be used for all skin types.

Cons: didn't really do anything for me, very pricy.

I don't think I will buy this ever again, considering the price and how much it did for my skin.

Hope you guys find this post is helpful, i see you next time :)

Love always Li xoxo
