Delightful Illusions


          Hi! Today, I'll be doing a First Impressions Review this Peel-Off Mask from Beauty Fix. I was browsing some beauty products at Watsons last Tuesday and I passed by the face masks shelf. Na curious ako sa mask na 'to kasi mura lang at perfect for testing out kasi nasa sachet lang. Nabili ko 'to for 22 Pesos. Sobrang mura, diba? I picked the one for oily skin, though the products says it's suitable for all skin types. 


          This product claims to control oil, detoxify, remove dead skin, clear up deep-seated dirt, and other impurities. Weh, di nga? Sa 22 Pesos ko magagawa lahat ng yun? Haha! The ingredients are good as swll kasi walang kahit anong "Paraben" na nilagay sa skin care product na 'to. Yehey! :)


          Today, I decided to give this beauty mask a try and make a first impressions review. As you can see on the photo, kaliligo ko lang. The only thing I did to my face is wash it with a carrot soap. I really wanna see kung gaano ka effective 'tong magtanggal ng blemishes, especially yung blackheads. Nakikita niyo naman madamin akong blemishes. Yuck! 


          On a closer look, you can see my pores, scars, blackheads, pimple scars, and other not-so-good stuff. My skin doesn't look dull, but it doesn't look so healthy either. Mahirip talaga pag oily yung skin mo, pa balik-balik lang yung mga blemishes sa mukha. 


          It was stated on the instruction to cleanse the face with a warm water. Since tinamad na ako pumunta sa kusina ang mag init ng tubig sa takore, nag init na lang ako ng tubig sa microwave. Ninja moves lang, wala kasi si mama. Hindi ako mapapagalitan. Haha! 


          The products comes off as black; the ones that just look like the charcoal face masks. It does have that typical, ordinary peel-off mask smell which is stronger than the others. Anyways, I'm not really bothered by the smell. Nawawala naman siya once nag apply ka na sa face. 


          I used half of the sachet because I didn't want the product to be too thick on my face. I concentrated on areas where I desperately need to remove blackheads; I focused on the nose, cheeks, chin and forehead. Please don't mind that blank line on my forehead, may sama na buhok sa product kaya nung hinila ko nagkaroon ng line. Haha! By the way, use headbands and hair ties or hair cap when using masks to avoid getting your hair on the product. I learned my lesson. :)


          Oh my, I applied the mask unevenly! I should've used the whole sachet. I should have. Sobrang uneven! Haha!


          It dries into a matte finish once it dries; I waited for like 30 minutes for this to be totally dry. Naramdam ko yung tightness sa skin, hindi nga ako makanguya mabuti ng Pringles eh. Haha! I removed the mask gently upwards. The process of removing the mask was painful and I can definitely feel that my facial hair was being peeled off my skin. Yikes! 


          This is what my skin looks like after peeling off the mask and washing my face with warm water. I noticed that my skin got radiant and smooth. My skin feels so soft and fresh. Bigla akong nagkaroon ng "pinkish glow".


          Here's a selfie after trying the mask for the first time. Please don't mind the background. Lalo na yung washing machine! Haha! :D


          As you can see in this picture, the mask remove a large blackhead and some facial hair. Sorry, kadiri tingnan. :)


          At yung mga iba pang blackheads na natanggal. If my guess is right, this is part was from my nose. Sa ilong ako may madaming blackheads eh. If I have used the whole sachet, maybe the mask would pull-off more blackheads. 

Highlights:
  • For 22 Pesos, you can't go wrong with this peel-off mask. It may not have removed all of my blackheads, but my skin fell tight after I used the mask. If used the entire sachet, I am pretty sure that this mask would remove more blemishes.
  • I love the fact that it didn't give my skin irritation, side effects or bad reactions. It seems to be quite gentle, even though it peels the hair on my face too. Hindi humapdi yung face ko or nasugatan. 
  • Travel-friendly and very affordable.
  • Detoxifying? Yup! I can feel my skin breathe after removing the mask. 
Would I recommend this? Yes, definitely. Try niyo mga sisters, baka hiyang naman sa skin type niyo. 


          I am hoping that I could give a follow-up on this first impressions review. Overall, I liked the mask and would recommend this to everyone. If you have any requests or recommendation, please tell me on the comments section. I am looking forward na makipag-usap sa mga fellow Pinays na mahilig sa makeup and skin care products. Tara, usap tayo! :) Thank you so much for reading and dropping by. I'll talk to you soon. Have a nice. Stay safe. XOXO

          Careline is a local beauty brand selling makeup items, colognes and some other related products which targets the teenage girls. I think the philosophy of this brand to provide fresh looking makeup for the young ones. I appreciate the brand for its simplicity; a simple makeup look is what a teenager needs. ;) 

              I'm currently doing a challenge, the Project Makeup Low Buy 2016, which aims to minimize my accumulation of makeup products for 2016 as I have been uncontrollable last year. I am allowing myself to buy a maximum of 2 makeup items per month and do a review on them. :) Last Monday, as I was roaming around at the grocery, I browsed on the makeup displays that they have. I came across this Careline Oil Control Liquid Make-up which pretty much look like a liquid foundation. The main reason I bought this was because it claims to be "oil-control" makeup; I have an oily skin and need of light foundation for everyday use so I got this. I have actually saved this one for a "First Impressions" review type of post because I wanted to share with you what will be my experience in trying this product for the first time. If you are interested, just keep on reading. :)


          We should actually see what composes this products before I tell you my experience. Looking above, you could tell that this has Dimethicone, Talc, and Parabens; harsh chemicals that causes harm on the skin and health in general which could be found on most makeup products. Uh uh, that's not good, especially for teens. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.


          Now, let's see what this product claims. It claims to be absorbing excess oil all through the day and has a light weight texture. That sounds good, right? A light weight makeup that absorbs oil; a 2-in1 product for only Php 90! Have you noticed that little opened jar which has 24M on it? That indicates how long this product will stay fresh after you have opened it. 24 months isn't bad at all, eh?


          The nicest thing about this product is the tube packaging with cupcake decorations on the outside. This is one of the most hygienic and neatest type of packaging on my opinion. 


          I attended my class at the Graduate School today and I decided to try this product today. I have applied this product alone on my face because I wanted to see if this will really absorb the oil all through out the day even without setting it with a powder. The smell is okay though; it has that kind of light sweet vanilla scent. 


          6:50 AM: I have just finished applying makeup on my face. I still have to eat so I don't have lipstick on these first two pictures yet. We can see here that this just barely covered my under eye dark circles and pores. I didn't set this with a powder, as I have a while ago, and it has a little bit of moisture going on my face which I didn't like at all. It made me feel uncomfortable.



          8:50 AM: My face was so oily and it felt so sticky. I don't like this at all. I REPEAT, I DON'T LIKE THIS AT ALL. It has only been 2 hours since I have put this on foundation and my face was already oily. Where was the "absorbs excess oil all through the day part?" Ugh. My face looked so greasy! Noooooo. I have touched up my face because I couldn't take the feeling of having too oily face.


            10:25 AM: I was already back at home because my professor just updated us with the changes on her course requirements. I think I only stayed on the school for like an hour. Haha! Anyways, I have taken another selfie when I got home. You can see some shine peeking through, including those blemishes. My face felt so greasy again. I mean, I have only touched up almost two hours ago and here comes the uncomfortable feeling again. I washed my face after I took this picture because I didn't want this on my face anymore. 

               That was my experience on the first try of this product. I cannot tell yet if this isn't worth the money or not; I still need to use this a few times more before I can give you my verdict. I can tell you pros and cons though;

PROS:
  • Affordable - It's only 90 Pesos
  • Light weight and blendable - You can use your fingers 
  • Good for people with normal to dry skin - It has a moisturizing feel
  • Has Vitamin E - Yay, vitamin for the skin
  • Packaging - Practical and hygienic
  • Shade - looks natural on light yellow skin
CONS:
  • No SPF - Damn, please give this product some SPF
  • Low coverage for blemishes and under eye dark circles
  • Doesn't control oil at all
  • Give a greasy, sticky feeling on the skin
  • Not good for summer
  • Ingredients have harmful chemicals
My First Impression: Doesn't do what it claims.


           That's my first thoughts about this product. Do you like this type posts? Do you have any review requests or product recommendations? Please let me know by leaving a comment down below. I will update you about this product if I have tested this enough and see what really this one does. Thank you so much for ready. If you like my blog, you can always follow to keep updated. I will talk to you soon. Have a nice day. Stay safe. XOXO

         Ola! :) Today's post is about this Etude House's Mango Essential Mask; my initial impressions, experiences and judgement if I recommend this or not. A lot of us loves sheet masks and I jumped into the bandwagon. So here I am, giving you my thoughts on this particular mask. :) 


        Upon reading the information at the back (at least there's English words), my attention got caught. I thought that this was interesting to try and see what will this do to my skin. I have to admit that I don't use a lot of masks because they make my skin moist after using, which I don't like because I have oily skin. 


         I was surprised to find out that Etude House already puts an English translation of their product's information at the back. I found it really useful because that served as my basis; if the product suits my skin's needs. I was impressed at the packaging as well. Good job, Etude! The packaging is of nice quality as well. 


         My skin looked like this after taking a bath. Please don't mind the shower cap on my head, I was doing a hot oil treatment on my hair. Haha! I have lots of blemishes on my face. See that white spot on the left side? That can only be removed by laser according to the derma clinic I had a facial before. After using a facial scrub, my skin felt tight and drying. 


         The first thought I had when I put the mask sheet on my face was: "Oh! This is a heating mask! And the mango extract smells so sweet!" Yeah, this is a heating mask. It's quite heavy on face, I felt the moisture on my skin. But, the most amazing thing about this mask sheet was that it instantly removed my white head below my left eye. I was so amazed! Oh my goodness! I was rubbing the extract under my eyes and the white head just came off. 


         Upon removing the mask, massaged my face, and washed off, my skin felt so soft. I felt the moisture stayed on my skin. But, I was really happy that my white head was gone. A one genuine happy smile! Haha!:)

My First Impressions:
*It's good for dry skin as it leaves a heavy moisturizing feel.*It's best for help remove blemishes because of it's heat.*It smells sweet which everybody will love.*It's affordable - Php 56 (I'm not really sure. But it doesn't go over Php 60)

       Yes, I will definitely recommend trying this product. Though people with oily skin should rethink before buying because this feels heavy. Yeah, really heavy. Anyways, It's an overall good sheet mask. :)

          I hope you find this post informational and helpful. Please let me know your thoughts if you have tried this product. If you have any requests, just leave a comment down below. I'll  talk to you soon. Have a nice day. Stay safe. Love you all!  XOXO

              Happy Valentine's, my lovely readers and guests! How did you day went on? Mine was really great. :) Today, I am posting about my very first "First Impressions Review". My aim for 2015 is to do more reviews on beauty products to share my thoughts on blogosphere. If you are interested on this post, keep on reading. :)

               Beauty mask sheet is not a usual part of my skincare routine. In fact, I don't think that I have a concrete skincare routine. Yes, I admit that. The only products on my face are cleansers, scrubs and toners. I don't use creams because they make my face feel heavy and sticky, considering that I have only skin. I was kind of neglecting the needs of my skin, which resulted to a flaky and at the same time greasy skin. 

           Going back to December, me and my cousin were strolling inside SM North Edsa and I remembered that Etude House had 30% off on all their items nationwide. I was planning to get some makeup items but all of the products I wanted were sold out. I was too shy not to get anything because the sales lady was following me. Haha! So, I picked up 4 of their masks and I will be reviewing them one by one. The first mask I tried was this I Need You Bamboo Mask. 


Before:

              My skin was flaky and feels dry because of the cold weather experienced by Philippines during the month of January. It looks worse than the picture. I took this before taking a bath so that you could really see the condition of my face. 


Putting it on:

           *Please excuse the wrong position. I was new to this. Haha! #awkward :D


           Upon putting it on my face, it gave a cooling sensation. It's like putting bits of ice on your face in a good way. The extract has a thick consistency but doesn't feel heavy on the skin. The smells is nice. 


After: 

              After 10 minutes of soaking it, I removed the mask. I massaged the remaining extract on my face so my skin could suck it. Then I washed my face to remove the residue. My skin felt clean and smooth; the oil on my skin was completely gone. I was happy even more because my skin was oil-free for a couple of hours. 

Overall Evaluation:

             This mask sheet is a must-try and is suitable for all skin types. What's good about this is that it has natural ingredients which is good for the skin. I would love to use this again. This is only Php 58. So affordable!

Overall Rating:

              4/5


            How did my post go? Do you want more first impressions review? Please let me know. You are always welcome to leave a comment. Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a great day ahead! XOXO
