Haul: Skinfood

Hello there! I'm finally back from Vietnam! And of course... I went shopping. I bought lots and lots of things because they were really cheap! It was hard to find Skinfood there, but I eventually did it. I was so happy when I got these things! Hopefully they will work on my skin so I can get more later. Well enough chitty chatting, here are the things I got from Skinfood:I purchased a total of 5 items: Fresh Aloe Vera Pack, Black Sesame Hot Mask, Rice Mask Wash-off, Black Sugar Mask Wash-off, and the Peach Sake Pore Serum. The lady was really nice, and she even gave me 3 samples! She gave me the: Agave Cactus Cream (light), Salmon Brightening Eye Cream, and the Green Tea Milk Cleansing Foam (fresh). I can't wait to try these!

Fresh Aloe Pack:"SKINFOOD Fresh Aloe Pack: A soothing pack with Aloe Extracts, providing moisture and hydration to dry skin."
"To use: Evenly apply to the face with circular movements for 30 seconds. Leave it for 5-6 minutes and then rinse off with lukewarm water."

100 g

I haven't been able to use this yet, but once I have, I'll definitely do a review on this. It has a very fresh smell... kind of like a cucumber face wash smell. It has a slushy consistency and kinda sticky too.

Black Sesame Hot Mask:"SKINFOOD Black Sesame Hot Mask: Warm heat mask with salt and sugar powder to deep cleanse wastes in rough skin with accumulated keratin and with nutritious black sesame powder to make smooth skin."
"To use: Apply an appropriate amount to moist face after washing, particularly to areas rich in keratin. Avoid an eye area and massage in a circular motion. Rinse with warm water after 3-5 minutes."

100 g

This mask seems really cool that it heats up to cleanse your pores... hmm. It's a really messy mask, with a really earthy smell and a touch of black sesame.

Rice Mask Wash-off:

"SKINFOOD Rice Mask Wash off: Mask with nutritious rice extracts for soft skin texture." "To use: After cleansing, gently massage over dry face. Avoid eye area. Rinse off."

100 g

I've heard a lot of good things about this mask, so I think it should be a hit. It has a really clean ricey smell to it.

Black Sugar Mask Wash-off:"SKINFOOD Black Sugar Mask Wash off: Black sugar mask with rich minerals and vitamin to provide luster and smoothness to skin."
"To use: After cleansing, gently massage over wet face. Avoid eye area. Rinse off."100 g

I think this is more like an exfoliater with the sugar. It has a sweet citrus smell... black sugar?? Hopefully this will be a good exfoliater for my skin because I still haven't found one that matches my skin.

Peach Sake Pore Serum:"SKINFOOD Peach Sake Pore Serum (for pore care): Soft serum with 'sake', traditional Japanese wine brewed with rigidly selected rice, and 'peach' extracts rich in vitamin A and C to remove greasiness due to enlarged pores and excessive sebum."

45 ml

If you have enlarged pores, than more dirt will be caught in those pores, causing acne and breakouts. With this serum, your pores will become smaller, so your acne problems will hopefully become better. Yay for peach! It has a really really really nice peach and sake smell that's just like heaven!

Wishlist: Fujifilm Instax Mini Camera

Hello from...Vietnam! Haha, its been a long time since I've posted something. ^_^ Recently, I've seen quite a few articles about this cute little camera! Not only is it fashionable, but it's so cute!! Ah, I want this for highschool myself... I think it would be super cute to have a scrapbook of memories in highschool using this camera. Aww, the pictures would so cute with this camera! However, it's kind of a pain taking one of these around with you... I don't know, but I think taking pictures with this camera would be so much fun, and the pictures would be "instant"; keeping the memories of that moment... I need to start saving for this camera now.

Did I mention? This camera looks familiar...

Why... It's from the Korean drama "You're Beautiful"
Ah... It's so cute! This makes it so much cuter...

Lots of SNSD girls use this too!

(As seen on their review on Fujifilm's Instax Mini Pink Polaroid Camera)

This is getting too tempting! Kawaii ^_^

Review: Origins "Drink Up" Mask

Rating: 8 out of 10
Skin Type: Dry, Combination, or Normal.
Me: This is such a good moisturizing mask! It's really good when your skin needs a little more moisture when it's dry, especially during the winter months. I don't use this mask as often because I have combination skin, so it's not really dry. When I do use it, it leaves my skin very soft, moisturized, and just drenched with happiness.
How to: After washing and drying your face, apply this mask on. Be careful when you squeeze it out, it's a little runny. Apply an even layer on your face, and then wash it off after about 10-15 mintues. After the mask, you can apply a toner and moisturizer.
Price: $21 I would say it's a very good price because I don't use it often, and so it's pretty cheap for a mask that deeply moisturizes your face.
Quality: It really does its job as a moisturizing mask. When your skin just feels dull or dry, put this on, and it's instantly refreshed and moisturized. (There's also "Drink Up Intensive" for really dry skin.)
Smell: This is the best smelling mask ever! It has a light springy smell, a mix of lychee, sweetness, and freshness. I love love love it's smell!
Texture: It has a clear liquidy consistency. Kinda translucent in a way, and when you put it on your skin, it's like a sweet milky veil.
Packaging: It's a great tube for it's liquidy consistency.
Amount: 3.4 fl. oz./100 ml

Review: Origins "Out of Trouble" Mask

Rating: 9 out of 10
Skin Type: All Skin Types
Me: This was my very first mask at Origins. I really really loved it. It's a gentle mask that really does its work. I use this when my skin is having trouble, like during my TOM... It clears up my skin, and it's visible too. Amazing mask! It just takes out all the impurities out of my skin, leaving it fresh and clean.
How to: Apply this mask after washing and drying your face. Squeeze out a reasonable amount and spread it on your face section by section. Apply a thin layer on your face and a thicker layer on your trouble areas. After about 15 minutes, wash the mask off with lukewarm water; since the mask is a little hard to take off, you can also use a sponge to wash it off. After the mask, you can use a toner and moisturizer.
Price: $21 Not bad, mine lasted me for about 4 months, depending on how often I use it.
Quality: A great mask! It's a really good mask for a good price too, really worth the buy.
Smell: It smells really nice! It has a light scent, like a refreshing citrus mint smell. I honestly love the smell, it's so nice and light, it feels really cool too.
Texture: The mask has a mousse like texture. But once you spread it on, it spreads like a cream. Once it's on your face, the mint just blows you off, your skin feels so cool and really good too. It doesn't completely dry out in 10 minutes, and it's a little hard to wash off too because it's like washing off lotion off your face.
Packaging: The tube makes it easily accessible, but it's kinda hard to squeeze out towards the end.
Amount: 3.4 fl. oz./100 ml

Review: Origins "Clear Improvement" Mask

Rating: 9 out of 10
Skin Type: All skin types or acne prone skin
Me: I really really love this mask! It really does what it says; literally, my skin feels so good after this. A real CLEAR IMPROVEMENT. It clears up my skin when I need it to clear up, and renews my dull skin. At first I was like... it's gray, yuck. But it sucks out all the pollution and things that clog my pores up, leaving my skin feeling new and clean.
How to: Apply this after washing your face and drying it. Squeeze out a reasonable amount and apply it on your face section by section. Make sure to cover your face with a reasonably thin layer, and a thicker layer on your more troubled areas. Wait about 10-15 minutes or until it's dry; you can feel it dry when you can move your face. Wash it off with lukewarm water; it's a little hard to wash off, so you can use a sponge if you like. After the mask, you can apply a toner and moisturizer.
Price: $21 Really not a bad price for such a great product. 1 tube lasts me for like 6 months cause I use it like 1-3 times a month, and not a lot either.
Quality: It's a really good mask that I can depend on when my skin is having issues.
Smell: Hmm... Not a really great smell, but not an unpleasant smell either. It's a Charcoal mask, so I guess it smells.. dull, dark, and bitter? Haha, I really don't know how to explain it, but I don't mine the smell at all.
Texture: It has a thick cream consistency that won't run but is easily spreadable. You really just need a thin layer on your face, and a thicker layer on trouble spots, like on T-zones or where you have trouble on your face. Basically, just spread it on your face, let it dry, and wash it off. It takes like 10 minutes for it to dry, but you'll know, cause it's gonna hurt when you try to move your face. It's hard to wash it off, so using a facial sponge or brush would be easier and better.
Packaging: Smart packaging, something that is easily accessible; however, it's hard when you get towards the end of the tube.
Amount: 3.4 fl. oz./100 ml
