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!

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.

Rating: 8/10

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.

Rating: 5/10

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.

Rating: 5/10

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!

Now, let's move onto the masks section!

3W Clinic Fresh Green Tea Mask Sheet

Description:
This is a sheet-type mask with a variety of aesthetic constituents including green tea extracts. It will improve tired looking skin, leaving it smooth and hydrated. This hypoallergenic mask sheet stays attached to the face along with the natural skin texture, and will provide a soothing comfort for your skin.

Thoughts:

Compared with the last time I used this sheet mask from 3W Clinic, my skin doesn't love this nowadays due to the tingling sensation it gave upon masking. So I won't be repurchasing this anymore despite its cheap price.
Rating: 2/10

Innisfree It's Real Squeeze Mask Tea Tree

Description:

This sheet mask with tea tree oil helps with the appearance of skin problems while keeping skin moisturized and clean.

Thoughts:

It smells like nail polish but it wasn't that strong. The essence is a bit watery, but has a thick consistency than water. 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.

Rating: 5/10

My beauty Diary Damask Rose Mask - 6

Description:

Damask rose produced from Bulgaria is a world-recognized top-quality variety of rose. Through high temperature distillation, a fragrant rosewater full of vitamins, trace elements and multiple polyphenols is extracted.

The Face Shop Real Nature Peony Face Mask

Description:

The mask sheer drenched in serum with the vibrant life energy of Peony provides skin with illumination radiance.

Thoughts:

It smells so heavenly and has a milky viscous consistency. There are no itchiness and tackiness. My face just feels so soft and plump. Price is affordable too, a plus for that.

Rating: 10/10

The Face Shop Real Nature Goji Berry Face Mask

Description:

The mask sheet drenched in serum with ultra nourishing Goji Berry gives flaky, dehydrated skin a surge of moisture.

Thoughts:

This smells good. It did as it claims to do which is to give moisture to my dehydrated skin but I was expecting more from this. I'm going to try this again and I plan to repurchase to see if there are other effects that I haven't take note of.

Rating: 7.5/10

REVIEW: LOMILOMI JASMINE 7 SKIN SCHEDULER SUNDAY HEALING MASK

Hello beauties!

So, last two weeks, I received this mask from Skin18 which is the LomiLomi Jasmine 7 Skin Scheduler Sunday Healing Mask. I've never heard of this brand before but serious guys, this mask left a huge impression on me! 😍

LOMILOMI JASMINE 7 SKIN SCHEDULER SUNDAY HEALING MASK

Description:

This is highly enriched product of Jasmine Extract and skin activators, and nutritional contents on the sheet with excellent skin adhesion and absorption. It cares oil and moisture, blocks toxic substances to skin and makes moisturizing and elastic skin.

HOW TO USE:
After washing your face, spread the sheet mask evenly over the face, leave it for 15~30 minutes and remove the mask, gently pat until fully absorb. This is a daily care product that is helpful to skin everyday.

INGREDIENTS LIST:
The ingredients list can be found here.
This mask is free from parabens , animal proteins , mineral oil , sulfate .

PACKAGING:
This mask has a white & yellow themed packaging with a picture of the flower Jasmine printed on the front. Meanwhile, most of the instructions are printed in Korean except for the description and directions of using it. As for the expiry date, it can be found at the bottom.

REVIEW:
The mask comes without any additional plastic/backing. It smells heavenly jasmine, obviously. The sheet is very hard to rip, so I really love it. The fit is okay except the edges didn't really reach the sides of my face. It has something extra which are the eye flaps but a bit too small for my eyes. The sheet mask adheres well on my face as I managed to sit up right with no worry of this sliding off. After 30 minutes of using it, what I noticed is that it gave me a glowing and healthy looking skin which I'm quite surprised of. My face also felt more moisturized after that and the effect lasted me for two days. Though it did felt tingly at first but the feeling subsides after a few minutes upon usage. The essence is a tiny bit sticky and it lingers for a while before sinking into the skin.

OVERALL:
Overall, I really love this mask because it did what it claims to do!

RATING:
10/10

You can purchase this at Skin18

REVIEW: THE FACE SHOP MASCREAM INTENSE SHEET - SOOTHING

Hello lovelies!

How are you guys coping with the busy days so far? Hope it didn't affect you as much as mine did. My skin has been acting out lately due to the stressful week of having multiple assignments. Ugh. Luckily, I have my sheet masks to rely on and one of them is The Face Shop MasCream Intense Sheet - Soothing.

THE FACE SHOP MASCREAM INTENSE SHEET - SOOTHING

There are 3 types of sheet masks from the MasCream Intense line which target specific skin needs/issues:-

1) Soothing

2) Moisturizing

3) Revitalizing

The one that I tried is Soothing.

Description:

This face mask sheet coated with a soothing cream containing Panthenol to effectively calm sensitive skin.

DIRECTIONS:

Cleanse and apply toner.

Take out the mask and start peeling off the transparent film.

Put the upper and lower pieces on the skin and peel off the rest of the film.

Remove after 10 to 20 minutes and lightly pat the remaining cream into skin.

[Formulated without parabens/Gel cream formula]

INGREDIENTS LIST:
WATER/EAU, DIPROPYLENE GLYCOL, GLYCERIN, METHYL TRIMETHICONE, ALCOHOL DENAT, DIMETHICONE, CYCLOPENTASILOXANE, 1,2-HEXANEDIOL, PANTHENOL, CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE, PENTAERYTHRITYL TETRAETHYLHEXANOATE, PEG/PPG/POLYBUTYLENE GLYCOL-8/5/3 GLYCERIN, PHENYL TRIMETHICONE, PENTAERYTHRITYL TETRAISOSTEARATE, PEG-150, HYDROXYETHYL ACRYLATE/SODIUM ACRYLOYLDIMETHYL TAURATE COPOLYMER, SQUALANE, PEG-40 HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL, DIMETHICONOL, ACRYLATES/C10-30 ALKYL ACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER, C14-22 ALCOHOLS, POLYSORBATE 60, MACADAMIA TERNIFOLIA SEED OIL, TRIETHYLHEXANOIN, TRISODIUM EDTA, BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII (SHEA) BUTTER, ARACHIDYL GLUCOSIDE, HYDROGENATED LECITHIN, GLYCERYL STEARATE, STEARIC ACID, CERAMIDE NP, CHOLESTEROL, PEG-100 STEARATE, CARBOMER, TROMETHAMINE, PARFUM/FRAGRANCE

PACKAGING:
The upper part has a greyish base while the rest of the packaging has a creamy base with some different colors of the font. You can see the image of a jar spilling out the the cream to make the shape of a face or a face mask.
The back packaging has some some of its instructions printed in both Korean and also English with pictures on how to use the mask properly.
The ingredients were also stated at the back along with the expiration date.

REVIEW:
The sheet itself was protected between two layers of film and divided into two parts, the upper part and lower part which was quite convenient to use.
Instead of the clear essence/serum, it has a white gel-like cream with a thicker consistency than the typical essence in sheet masks.
This mask felt cooling on my skin and it did indeed soothe the redness and calming those zits on my face.
The after effect left my skin looking clear and moisturized. It gives me that healthy and radiant glow to my skin. I almost resisted putting on a moisturizer and night cream due to the moistness it provided to my face.
However, the effect only lasted for 2-3 days but I'm sure with constant use, my skin will continue to improve.

OVERALL:
This mask evened out my skin tone and made my face look plump. It also deeply moisturized my skin and provides a cooling sensation to it. The mask is good for pampering yourself after having a hectic day, preferably during night time. I recommend this mask to anyone with dry skin and also to those looking for a 2-in-1 mask (soothing+hydrating).

RATING:

8/10

REVIEW: TONYMOLY THE BLACK TEA NUTRITION & MOISTURE MASK SHEET

Hello beauties!

Today is Monday and I have a sheet mask review for you guys. I wore this mask last week and let me tell you my experience using this mask from TonyMoly.

TONYMOLY THE BLACK TEA NUTRITION & MOISTURE MASK SHEET

Description:

Contains 100% pure black tea extract

The hydrating skin care contains high-quality black tea recognized by England's royal family.

DIRECTIONS:
Tear open and apply to face.
Leave on for 15-20 minutes and then remove.

INGREDIENTS LIST:
WATER, PROPANEDIOL, GLYCERIN, 1,2-HEXANEDIOL, CYCLOMETHICONE, CAMELLIA SINENSIS LEAF EXTRACT(1,000 PPM), HELIANTHUS ANNUUS (SUNFLOWER) SEED OIL, CITRUS AURANTIUM BERGAMIA (BERGAMOT) FRUIT OIL, MELALEUCA ALTERNIFOLIA (TEA TREE) LEAF OIL, C12-14 PARETH-12, ACRYLATES/C10-30 ALKYL ACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER, XANTHAN GUM, TROMETHAMINE, HYDROXYETHYL ACRYLATE/SODIUM ACRYLOYLDIMETHYL TAURATE COPOLYMER, CAPRYLHYDROXAMIC ACID, DISODIUM EDTA

 The manufactured date was printed down at the back.

PACKAGING:
The colour of the packaging was a bit dull with a light brown base and white font while the edges were in a darker brown colour. There is a picture of the supposed black tea leaf at the front.
The back packaging has some some of its instructions printed in both Korean and also English with pictures on how to use the mask properly.
Aside from that, the ingredients were also stated at the back along with the manufactured date.

REVIEW:
It is a cotton sheet mask and packed without any additional plastic inside. The mask is folded in such a way that you have to be careful when pulling it apart. The fit was okay. The essence is not runny. It claims to moisturize but I didn't feel any, well, maybe slightly but to be honest, I was quite disappointed because I have high hopes for this mask due to its claims.

OVERALL:
I was expecting for extra moisture but this mask is just another one of those meh masks that I've ever tried. Although this mask did not break me out but I would still not repurchase this ever again. I rather spend my money on masks that are able to live up to its claim.

RATING:
4/10

REVIEW: THE FACE SHOP CHARACTER MASK - MONKEY

Hello lovelies!

I've never use a character mask before since I always assume that they are not that functional except for the attractive packaging. I was afraid to spend my money on something which I can't be quite sure of, especially masks. So when I received this mask in one of my previous Random Box order from Jolse, I was actually thankful. Finally, I get to try the mask without paying for the full price.

The Face Shop Character Mask - Monkey

Description:

The moisturizing soothing character mask moisturizes and soothes the irritated skin with apple extract rich in moisture and vitamins.

Dermatologist Tested & Formula without 6 additives (Sulfate, Talc, Mineral Oil, Quaternium, Polyacrylamide, Paraffin)

Triple Solution Essence (Apple extract, Hyaluronic acid, Collagen)

DIRECTIONS:
Wash face and apply toner.
Pull out the mask and carefully place it on the face.
Remove after 10-15 minutes and tap lightly to absorb the remaining essence into the skin.

INGREDIENTS LIST:
WATER/EAU, PROPANEDIOL, PEG/PPG-17/6 COPOLYMER, PANTHENOL, BETAINE, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, PEG-40 HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL, ACRYLATES/C10-30 ALKYL ACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER, GLYCERIN, POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE, CAPRYLHYDROXAMIC ACID, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN, DISODIUM EDTA, 1,2-HEXANEDIOL, PHASEOLUS RADIATUS SEED EXTRACT, PYRUS MALUS (APPLE) FRUIT EXTRACT, SODIUM HYALURONATE, HYDROLYZED COLLAGEN, PHENOXYETHANOL, BETA-GLUCAN, BETULA PLATYPHYLLA JAPONICA BARK EXTRACT, RUMEX CRISPUS ROOT EXTRACT, DIMETHICONE, PARFUM/FRAGRANCE

PACKAGING:
There's a face of a monkey printed at the front with a small image of an apple. It's quite plain for a character mask but at least the brand's name was printed down below.
You can find some more information at the back where the upper half is mostly in korean language while the lower part is in English.
The expiration date can also be found at the bottom, though you have to really squint your eyes to get a better view on it.
Oh, and it's also difficult to tear the packaging.

REVIEW:
When I first tore the packaging, the scent immediately hit my nose. The mask obviously smells like fresh apple. So yummy up until the point that I wanted to eat it.
The sides of my face have a nice fit, except for the eye area which I found it to be quite big for my eyes.
The sheet mask doesn’t fall off from my face.
The essence leaves a sticky residue so I won't recommend this for morning usage as the essence does take a while for it to fully soak into the skin and thus this will affect the application of your makeup.
After patting the remaining essence onto my skin, my face immediately feels more hydrated and more plumper and I kept on touching it non-stop.
However, the effect only lasted for a day.

OVERALL:
Hm, not bad for a face mask. I wouldn't repurchase it because there are about billions of masks to try and this mask is not that great, to be honest.

RATING:
5/10

Have you guys tried any of the character mask from The Face Shop? Do let me know in the comment section down below. ^^

Until my next post!

Thank you for reading!

July Empties

Hello, my lovelies!

Another month has passed and yet I have another empties but this time I only had one full sized item while the others are mostly masks and samples.

Let's start with the full sized item first.

Innisfree Green Tea Mint Fresh Scalp Scaler

Description:

Enriched with green tea and mint extracts from Jeju Island that delivers freshness the scalp and hair.

Thoughts:

It smells so good, like minty scent or something. It leaves my scalp feeling fresh and clean. I tend to have oily scalp (yuck) and this product comes to the rescue! The smell lingers for 3-4 days which I don't mind at all since I love it. But I wouldn't recommend this to those who cannot stand the strong smell of fragrance.

3W Clinic Fresh Mask Sheet (Green Tea)

Description:

This is a sheet-type mask with a variety of aesthetic constituents including green tea extracts. It will improve tired looking skin, leaving it smooth and hydrated. This hypoallergenic mask sheet stays attached to the face along with the natural skin texture, and will provide a soothing comfort for your skin.

Thoughts:

Still the same as what I thought the last time I tried this. Read it here

The Face Shop The Solution Hydrating Face Mask

Description:

This face mask features a light-as-air sheet that feels soft and weightless on the skin. A serum containing Hyaluronic Acid helps dry, thirsty skin lock in moisture. (Formulated without added parabens)

Thoughts:

It smells refreshing and there's a bit of a floral smell. My pores are tightened and not visible for the whole 3 days straight.

It also brightens my face and my skin felt moisturized without feeling any tacky residue. The mask was wet with essence which I quite love!

Usually I used sheet mask right after applying essence but this time I used this mask directly after applying toner on my face. And when I wake up the next morning, my face felt softer and smoother. Thumbs up for this one! Will definitely repurchase.

The Face Shop Bio-Cell Recovery Face Mask

Description:

This recovery face mask features a naturally adhesive bio-cellulose sheet and a Madecassoside serum that effectively soothes irritated skin due to exposure to the elements. (Dermatologist Tested / Formulated without added parabens)

Thoughts:

OMG I LOVE this mask! It smells refreshing and there's a slight fruity scent on it, I think? The fit adheres well on my face. I used this when my face was swollen and irritated (due to bad reaction from using a product) and this mask immediately soothes my skin. Even the redness on my cheeks completely disappeared after I took the mask off and pat the remaining serum for it to absorbs fully. My skin no longer felt rough and leaves my skin soft like the way it did before I had those bad reactions. Will definitely repurchase this!

Nature Republic Given By Nature Chestnut Shell Mask Sheet (Pore Tightening)

Description:

This chestnut shell mask sheet makes the skin feel smooth and soft as tightening enlarged pores and protecting the epidermis with its astringent extract rich in tannins.

Thoughts:

It smells powdery and feels cooling to my skin. It's still wet with essence when I took it off. What I did notice is how my face looked more brighten and have that glowy look. It also does what it claim to do which was to tighten pores as my pores look quite invisible. One thing I don't like is that my face felt sticky afterwards. But the next day, lots of people were commenting on how glowy my skin looks like so I guess this mask has an extra benefit to it.

The Face Shop Real Nature Face Mask (Red Ginseng)

Description:

The mask sheet drenched in serum with revitalizing Ginseng provides skin with a boost of energy and vitality. (Drenched with emulsified moisturizing serum / Formula without added parabens)

Thoughts:

I hate the strong herbal smell! But I love the firming effect it gave onto my skin. It absorbs quickly too but this enlarged my pores the next day! Ugh. Not going to repurchase this. Totally.

Rating: 2/10

The Face Shop Real Nature Face Mask (White Tea)

Description:

The mask sheet drenched in serum with young White Tea leaves brightens and clears skin tone. (Drenched in clear serum / Formula without added parabens)

Thoughts:

This mask has a fresh scent to it. It did live up to its claim at brightening my face after usage but that only lasted for a day. So, it's a just a meh mask for me.
