[Product Review] Hada Labo - one drop locks up an ocean

So a few months ago, I participated in this contest, whereby I was suppose to dedicate my love to the person I love and I was selected as one of the 10 winners among 65 participants to win 3 products of my choice.

I was a previous user of Hada Labo as well, I used the hydrating range - Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Lotion & Milk. But my skin wasn't in the "very good" condition when I was using . Thus, I ended up with a lot more clogged pores and zit all over the face. But this was all because the hydration effects were just too strong for my skin.

But that didn't make me lose my confidence with the brand. It may not suit me, but it may suit you. Just like how it may suit my boyfriend.

So who better than let my boyfriend try the products himself right?  So as mentioned in the picture above, I've got a..

Hada Labo Facial Mist

For myself, I have been using the facial mist once in a while, when I feel extremely lazy to use the moisturising products that I've gotten from AstaLift. So I do about 2 - 3 Sprays, 15cm away from my face after my wash, then pat all over my face. 

Like the other day, before we headed out to Margarita's, I sprayed twice on my boyfriend's face to give his face a little water to feed on! (:

It is extremely convenient and easy to use! It doesn't leave such a sticky residue or feeling after application, unlike the lotion that they have. I am so bringing it to Bangkok with me! I heard the weather is insane right now! Still, the product deserves a Thumbs up! 

AHA/BHA Exofoliating foamy wash

We have yet to try the texture of the Foamy Wash. But I'm a sucker for things that are just convenient and easier for all to use every day! Just pump and TADAH! foamy foamy wash on your palm! No need to spend time lather-ing already! (:

Hada Labo Sha Hydrating Mask 4's

So before he took off to thailand, he gave the mask a try...

See he so happy!

It was his first time doing a paper face mask!

See how Moisturising it was?

Shiny shiny face. (:

Overall, the mask wasn't that bad. But the boyfriend wasn't used to the sticky feeling that most mask gives after the application, so I asked him to tahan (tolerate) for the next 30 minutes, so that the face gets what it needs, and then right after the clock hit 30 minutes, that boy went to wash off every single essence from the mask.

Sigh, 真浪费！ Then again, nevermind lah. free one. 

So if you are someone who has dry skin and always travel around (air stewardess/steward/pilots/super business people), then I suggest that for an affordable, promising and moisturising product, choose Hada Labo.

All you need is 10 minutes!

That's right! All you need is 10 minutes!

Origins - Out of Trouble 10 Minutes Mask

This mask was introduced by one of my cousin - Valerie. Since my other cousin was returning from States, I thought, why not try it. Since its slightly cheaper to purchase from the States.

Very often, I get the feeling where those blemishes start to gather their forces and form really huge zits on my face. With Origins Out of Trouble 10 Minutes Mask, there no need to fuss about "what if my date keep staring at my red bump on my nose!" any more! 

"The formula includes super-absorbent Zinc Oxide and Sulfur, calming Camphor plus skin-sloughing Salicylic Acid, rapidly respond to problem skin’s plight with a three-part plan - sop up oily-shine, slough off sticky, dead cells, and sweep away irksome debris. (Unlike your generic masks that smells like perfume, this mask has a very herbal smell) Together they steer skin clear of slippery situations, refine rough texture and pull the plug on troublemakers to oust potential outbursts. Suitable for all skin type"

How I use it: I take the mask splatter thing and squeeze out about 1 - 2cm worth of mask, spread it at each side of my cheek and add on more if needed for the rest of my face. I usually put a very thin layer unless I have like a super big pimple on my face, then I will put more on that area (i dont know if the theory works like that, but just whack lah ah?). Then I leave it for 10 minutes, sometimes longer, but you will know when to wash it off, cause it would feel tighter. And tadahhh refreshed skin!

Reviews: So far I have only used the mask for about 4-5 times and I'M SOLD. Although it does not smell as good as the perfumed smelling masks, but the herbal smell kinda reassures me that the mask is organic in a way, that is not just made of pure chemicals! Every time after use, my skin feels light and refreshed. (I was actually doing the mask just now, 30minutes gone by) My skin still feels supple I dont even feel a tad bit of stickiness on my face like I usally do after wash! Its like it all suddenly disappeared when I washed it away with the mask. It is mild to my skin, doesn't make my skin all flaky and stuff after long usage. So I think this is a mask that all readers should try!

IT REALLY REDUCES REDNESS!

Star Factor: Ok, as a first timer, i didn't really like how cooling and slightly biting the mask was. I was told it is the normal feeling that you will get for the first try. But right after I removed the mask. It was damnnnnn shiok! Cause I could feel the menthol-ly feeling on my face even after 5 minutes of washing it off. It is definitely a relaxing feeling!

Price: My cousin bought it from the states from me cause its a lot cheaper. So, I think it is definitely worth the moolahs! (:

Get it today before CNY, so all your woes can be solved!
