SAVE YOUR SKIN with - ETUDE A-Z (Alphabet) Sheet Masks!

As we all know, masks come in all different shapes and sizes, textures and purposes. But I have never seen any skincare brand or any other cosmetic brand (even MBD) that covers as many types of skin concerns/ or any form of imperfection that you think you may have in one freaking box of masks!

Uh huh! I'm talking about the Etude A-Z Alphabet Masks.

Like all masks I have reviewed, you must be wondering how much better is this?! 

Well, these are the 3 points that sets the Etude alphabetical mask apart from other brands!

ONE
The sheets are made from corn fibre, unlike most masks that use cotton masks. Apart from making it more than natural and organic, it is also making this a whole lot more environmental friendly thus, more likely to speed up the biodegrading process. 

TWO 
Regardless of your skin type, there is definitely one that will suit you!  Just see the list below! 
 
THREE
Stepping into ETUDE HOUSE is like stepping in to a departmental store cosmetics section where you need to go from brand to brand to look for the masks that suits your skin and wallet at the same time

Now you can skip that and simply enter ANY Etude House to purchase a mask that suits both your skin and wallet!  

BONUS
(ok, 4th point) Not sure about you, but we have all know the benefits that berries can do for our skin. The Heart Shaped Mask, incorporating 5 different berries (blueberry, acai berry, raspberry, blackberry, strawberry extracts)  just sounds so yummy for my skin!! 


Thanks to CozyCot, I had the great honor introduce the masks that forms the brand name - ETUDE♥.

REVIEWS
I have yet to give the masks a try, but Mr Hong sure did yesterday! Because there were two of the same masks that were given (E: Elder Flower for soothing & moisturizing effects) and Mr Hong doesn't moisturise his face AT ALL, or unless when I force him to (He hates the sticky feeling that most moisturiser does).

(Yes,  他很爱美!) Anyways, while placing the mask for Mr Hong, I had problems stretching it to fit his face which resulted in bubbles on some parts of his face (maybe it is just him - hahahaha). That aside, the essence from the mask was not as sticky and easily absorbed when I massage it into his face. No complaints about the stickiness at all! :)
 
PRICE
With each of the mask priced at $1.90, I'm sure YOU will be able to select the best for the best in your life!

GIFTS
I'm probably one of the most practical person when it comes to gifting in my circle of friends. To me, gifting has to be meaningful and useful at the same time. Are you like me having problems thinking about last minute valentine's gift? Well, not only is this wallet friendly, I am sure it will be the perfect gift for a close friend. Be inspirational, be free in forming up the words that spells your best friend's name, or even your families' name. 

Most importantly, Have fun!

Clarins Alcohol-Free Toning Lotion with Camomile [Skincare Review]

Hello there!

Hope my posts haven't been boring you guys like crazy.

Previously, I was looking for a good no-alcohol toner as my usual toner from my facial salon has gradually ... became an empty bottle. 

After reading many many reviews and visiting beauty forums, it is concluded that the current hotest non-alochol toner has got to be Clarins Toning Lotion & Kiehl's (Calendula & Cucumber Herbal). 

Initially, I was contemplating between the above two products. But Metro Sale (20%) came along and my decision was set! Priced at SGD $43 (Original Price), this product is definitely worth your money. 

The Clarins Toning Lotion comes in several form, but the non-alcohol ones are these two versions
  1. Toning Lotion with Iris for Oily to Combination Skin (Green)
2. Toning Lotion with Camomile for Normal to Dry Skin (Yellow)

 

What were my needs?
  1. No-Alcohol Contents - I know how alcohol will thin our skin surface gradually, therefore a non-alcohol content product will salvage this thinning skin of mine !
  2. Accessibility - I do love my facial salon toner but I wanted something that I can purchase it easily when the bottle starts to reach its bottom.
  3. Calming effect - Every time after I cleanse my face (really gently), redness on my skin will start to surface, and I really wanted a product to help to calm it down
What does it do?
Alcohol-free toner—with gentle Camomile, Alpine Herbs, and Linden extracts—removes every last trace of cleanser, leaving dry or normal skin clean and perfectly radiant. Softens, smoothes and soothes irritations
 
How does it feel? Scented?
Yes, it does smell like it is scented, but that is because of the Camomile & Herbal ingredients in this product. The aftermath of  applying the product leaves a slightly moist texture. It isn't sticky but you can definitely feel that there is a really thin layer that protects and helps to soften your skin to make it less irritable

Directions:
To be used after cleansing/exfoliating. Drop around 2 - 3 drops on your cotton pad and spread across the face. Remember to swipe it upwards so that your face would receive some "massage" and get "lifted" through this small little act.


Remember to look out for departmental discouns where these items can have up to 20%Off!
