Masks haul from The White Camellia Shop

Hello beauties!

I have a masks haul to show to you guys today. I bought these masks from an online shop based on Malaysia, The White Camellia Shop. I stumbled upon this shop on IG and I was curious on their buying & selling experience. When they had their Cyber Monday Sale last month, I grabbed the chance to make a purchase from them.

So, without further due, let's get started!


These are the masks that I got:-

1x SEP Green Tea Soothing Mask
2x SEP Canola Honey Nourishing Mask
1x Annie's Way Secret Garden Orchid Angel's Whitening Secret
2x Annie' Way Secret Garden Black Rose Devil's Moisturizing Secret
2x Naruko Rose & Botanic HA Aqua Cubic Hydrating Mask EX
1x Naruko Bunga Raya Snow White Ice-Cooling Mask
2x My Beauty Diary White Lily Brightening Essence Mask
1x Lovemore Rosa Hybrida Whitening Mask Sheet

I won't be going through the details one by one as I'm going to review these masks on my instagram.

Oh and, I've got one freebie which is the My Scheming Raw Job's Tears Brightening Black Mask 😍 Thank you, Shikin! 💕

Overall, my shopping experience with this shop is good. The shipping took nearly 2 weeks to arrive and the cost of shipping to Brunei is also quite cheap too. I would totally recommend buying masks from this shop because of its affordable price and good customer service.

Until my next post!

Thank you for reading!

This product does not come with any box or plastic wrapping. It only comes with a tub itself and sealed with a sticker. The colour of the tub is so pretty, a pastel peach/pink colour decorated with flowers with a black twist-off cap.


There's an inner lid inside to keep the product fresh.

FIRST IMPRESSION:




It has a light, whipping cream-like texture and smells amazing. If you don't like floral smell, then this isn't for you. It didn't feel heavy on my skin. What I notice was that my skin felt soft and smooth after usage and it didn't long for it to absorb, too.

Collective empties for the month of August - November 2017

Hello my lovelies!

It's been months since I last updated my empties post. The last time I post about my empties was back in July. This time, it will be a collective empties from the month of August - November 2017, so please bear with me though I don't have that much empties which explains why I rarely post my empties nowadays.

Anyway, let's start with the full sized products and samples first, shall we?


Cosrx Acne Pimple Master Patch - 3

Description:
The thin, lightweight material seals around the acne to protect from bacteria and dirt. The patch adheres to the skin well and can be detached without irritating the skin. It covers the acne while keeping the moist and absorbing the exudation, thus reducing the risk of further infection.

Thoughts:
These are my HG! It did as it claims to do which is to suck out the white gunk from your pimple, thus reducing the size of your pimple. Definitely my lifesaver!
Rating: 10/10

Tonymoly BCDation Moisture Cover Cushion

Description:
The base cushion keeps makeup flawless and moisturized for a long time due to its moisture ingredient.


Thoughts:
I love this cushion despite its weaknesses. I've had actually reviewed this cushion previously, so click here if you haven't read it.
Rating: 7/10

Hand & Nail Therapy Collection Shea Butter Hand Cream

Description:
The only description that I can find is that it is highly moisturizing within 5 seconds effect.


Thoughts:
I got this as a freebie and what I can say is that, this is not moisturizing at all. It has a nice scent but, that's it. It's lucky that I got this as a freebie and not something that I purchased.
Rating: 2/10

Holika Holika Skin & AC Mild Soothing Emulsion

Description:
The moisturizing emulsion provides abundant moisture to problem areas without leaving any sticky residue on skin.


Thoughts:
I finally finished using this emulsion after 6-7 months, I think? Back then, I used to have an oily skin and this is a great soothing emulsion for me due to its light weight texture. But now that I have a combination skin, I rarely used it. The only downside is that it contains alcohol which is pretty high on the list of ingredients so I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who are sensitive to alcohol.
Rating: 6/10

Secret Key Witch-Hazel Pore Clear Toner

Description:
Witch-hazel contracts pores, regulates sebum, supplies moisture and moisturize with its excellent soothing and astringent effect. Its tannin substance increases the elasticity in pores so as to helpful to contract pores. And it removes harmful oxygen and various dusts and sweat. It also gently removing excess oil, dirt without over drying.


Thoughts:
I love the scent, it smells so fresh. This toner also leaves my skin hydrated and soft after usage but in terms of pores, I didn't see any difference during my usage. It is pretty affordable, so I give it credit for that. I think I'm going to try other variants such as the aloe one.
Rating: 6/10

Cosrx Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser

Description:
Formulated with purifying botanical ingredients, this low pH formula works to soothe, refresh, and soften the skin without the stripping feeling.


Thoughts:
Another cosrx product which earned its HG status from me! It didn't leave my skin feeling tight or squeaky clean after cleansing but soften my skin instead. The tea tree scent is one of the major factors on why I love this cleanser!
Rating: 10/10

Tonymoly Egg Pore Nose Pack

Description:
Removes with charcoal, tightens with camellia flower and egg white. Strong absorbent effective for deep blackheads and sebum.

Product description credits to Eopenmarket

Thoughts:
I got this as a freebie during my purchase with Eopenmarket. Blackheads are one of my concerns and to be honest, before knowing what harm can nose strips done to our pores, I constantly use it like twice a week. 😱 Not to worry, I'm not using it regularly nowadays.
Back to this nose strip, it really strip the gunk out from my pores. Hm, quite satisfied.

Nature Republic Natural Olive Scalp Cooling Hair Pack

Description:
With hair starting from the scalp, it is important to keep scalp healthy with Nature Republic’s Natural Olive Scalp Cooling Hair Pack.
This hair pack nourishes and calms the scalp with olive oil and peppermint oil.
Menthol and peppermint extract ingredients also helps to cleanse dead skin cells from the scalp.


Product description credits to Eopenmarket


Thoughts:
I got this from the lucky box that I bought from Eopenmarket. The smell of olive is not that strong so I can handle it when I washed my hair. The colour is green it reminds me of slime. Yuck. My scalp did felt nice due to its cooling sensation. But I don't think I would repurchase this.

Purito Snail Clearing BB Cream

Description:
This total solution BB Cream provides skin with both UV A and B and with Adenosine and Niacinamide, it whitens your skin, and provides wrinkle care to protect skin from darkening, evening tone, and decreasing signs of aging for healthier and clearer skin.


Thoughts:
Again, I got this from Eopenmarket's lucky box. Purito is a brand from Eopenmarket and this was my first time hearing about it. I don't know which shade I got for the sample but the shade runs a bit too light for me with a greyish tone. But what I love is that my skin felt moisturized and dewy while using this and there's no cakey look, thanks to the snail extract!
I might consider purchasing the full sized product but I still have a few more samples left so we'll see about that.
Rating: 7/10

Purito Snail Repair Advanced 91 Serum - 3

Description:
This product contains 91% high concentration of snail mucus extract helps to heal acne, fade acne scars, brighten skin tone, and maintain hydration throughout the day. It also ensures tight viscosity, providing efficient total care that regenerates the skin and solves complex skin problems.


Thoughts:
Another Purito samples i got from the lucky box. Aside from snail mucus extract, this product also contains Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C. Upon opening the sachet, the smell wafted through the air. It has a pungent smell, ugh, but I tried to bear with it and used 3 sachets for nearly two weeks. Each sachet is enough for 4 usages and I only used this at night. I didn't find any brightening effect except that it leaves my skin soft. Not going to repurchase as I still have some of these left and plus the effect is not that amazing.

Declutter:

Holika Holika Sweet Cotton Pore Cover Base

The reason I threw this away is because it breaks me out! Not going to repurchase this!

The mask fits my face except for the large area at the forehead and at the chin, which I had to fold. Overall, my skin didn't feel that moisturized. Hm, strange. This was just an okay mask for me.
