O'slee Honey Sugar Mask Review

Sponsored Post

I am very excited to to write this review on O'slee Honey Sugar Mask - sponsored by O'slee, thanks O'slee ! 

(Note: Although this mask is sponsored by O'slee, I am not an affiliate to O'slee and this review is honest opinion based on my own personal experience after using their product.)

If you don't already know O'slee is one of the most famous skin care brands in Hong Kong.  

Product profile:
Name : O'slee Honey Sugar Mask
Price : RM59.90 for 100ml
Made in : Hong Kong
Available at : Guardian outlet, sasa or oslee website click here  


The packing and mask in super cute glass jar :)

Come with free cleansing sponge and mask stick 

Directions on the packing

This mask can be applied on wet skin or dry skin. I think using on wet skin will promote the moisturizing effect and applying on dry skin will promote the exfoliating effect. The cleansing sponge is very useful to help for better cleansing. 

Ingredients

Functions of the mask

Close up on the cute jar

It is encouraged to used up the mask within 9 months after opening it and don't let water enter the mask or it will ruin the mask


Sealed to ensure freshness

A yummy skin meal... it smells so delicious  - (caution: not food, do not eat ;) haha...)

On wet skin the mask melts, on dry skin it works on exfoliating dead skins

Demo on my left hand, before skin look dull after used skin is more brighter

My thoughts:
The mask smells so delicious, it smell like brown sugar and honey. This mask can be used on wet or dry skin, I prefer to use it on wet skin as it can maximize the benefits of moisturizing my skin. I used it on my wet face and gently massage the mask in circular motion and the mask melts after a few seconds and I washed it off after 10 minutes. Below are my comments on each functions per say of the mask:

Peeling
Not totally sure if it does peeling, but the mask does make my skin brighter.

Whitening
Yes, skin look brighter after use.

Moisturizing
Agree - my skin feel supple and moist after used.

Removes blackheads
Not working on visible blackheads.

Refines pores
Pores still visible, made not much difference.

Oil control
Skin feels clean after towel dried.

What I like about this mask:
  • Cute packing
  • Skin feels moist and supple after used
  • Brighten skin
  • Exfoliate dead skins
  • Smell delicious
  • Come with free cleansing sponge and spoon

What I don't like about this mask:
  • Left oily film layer on skin due to oil based ingredients, but it does goodness to skin

My rating for this product is 4 out of 5 stars. Overall happy with the result. :)

Skin79 BB Cream Review

Anyeong~

Here is a review on Skin79 BB Cream, I used this BB cream some times ago but after finishing one bottle, I move on with other brands because I am still looking for a perfect BB cream to in love with. Anyway, just for the record and my own note, here is a review on Skin79 BB cream.

Skin79 brand is from Korea, they have many types of BB cream that you can choose from (check out their website here), when I walked into their store, I am so confused which one to choose, finally I chosen the Advance Triple Functions BB Cream (dark red color bottle) - main function whitening, wrinkle improvement and UV interception SPF25 PA++. Price around RM75-RM90, I can't remember exactly. They now have the mini set of BB cream which you can buy as trial pack, it is available in sasa.com. 

Description

Description on the packing:
The Beblesh Balm has triple functions including making skin firming and radiant through anti-wrinkle and whitening effect as well as protecting skin from UV rays by blocking both UV A and B rays at one time.
Fullerene excellence in in soothing skin protects skin from various harmful environment with MNS complex composed of five vegetables ingredients including lotus extract and cornus officinalis fruit extract making skin texture moisturized and tender by providing skin with moisture and nutrients. 

Direction:

At the last stage of basic skin care, pump proper amount and gently spread it along skin texture.

The packing

Apparently the famous one is the pink color bottle BB Cream called Super BB triple functions which claimed one sold every 10 seconds.

Swatch and first layer on right side

Two layers of BB cream on right side

What I like about this BB Cream:
  • Nice mild scent
  • Moderate coverage
  • SPF 
  • Skin feels moist and tender after used

What I don't like about this BB Cream:
  • Quite pricey - only 40ml, the packing look big actually content only 40ml.
  • Too many BB cream options - this point is general comment (I just wanted to note here that Skin79 has way too many types of BB cream, making consumer confuse of which to choose, even though they develop to suit each skin type, I think they options is way too many. I would prefer they simplified it and make some that will satisfied what main stream consumer is looking for.)

Overall this BB cream is decent but not impressive to me. I am still in the hunt for the best BB cream ever.

Bioglo Clear Pore Deep Cleansing Mask

Another Cosway product review. This is called Bioglo Clear Pore Deep Cleansing Mask. It is basically a peel off mask, mainly to remove blackheads and whiteheads. Origin from Taiwan, price is RM32.50 (member price). Basically you just inform the cashier of the member account number and they will let you purchase with member price.

The tube packing 75ml

Description behind the tube

Description

The ingredients

The first time I use this mask, I put on to my whole face, it take quite a while to dry up because I put it turn out I applied the mask unevenly. After about 30 minutes, the mask finally dried up and it is quite difficult to peel off. I would say it is very painful and cause my face redness because it peeled off my facial hair as well, luckily the redness did not last long and disappear after a few hours. I do not recommend to put this mask on to the whole face, focus only on nose and forehead or chin area, because it is quite good in removing blackheads and whiteheads. OK, the next picture I am showing is gross, if you are sensitive to gross photo of peel off blackheads and whiteheads, please skip this part. This is result of peeled off mask from my nose area.

The second time I put this mask only on my forehead, nose and chin area. And no more experience redness, I don't think this product is suitable for sensitive skin. However this is quite effective in removing blackheads and whiteheads. Since blackheads and whiteheads is a long term battle, this mask need to be continually used on a weekly basis. 

What I like about this mask:

  • Effective to remove blackheads and whiteheads
  • Can apply on T zone and chin area
  • Affordable


What I don't like about this mask:

  • Difficult to peel off at first
  • I do not recommend to put on whole face, cause redness the first time and peeled off facial hair 
  • Difficult to wash off remaining traces of mask (sticky)

Overall, still a good mask to remove blackheads and whiteheads. I will continue to use this product.

Bioglo Double Cleansing Facial Wash

Anyeong! I am reviewing Bioglo Double Cleansing Facial Wash. If you don't already know, Bioglo is Cosway Skin Care range. This facial wash act as make up remover and facial wash at the same time. Description: A one step double cleansing solution that effectively clears away embedded impurities and remove facial make up effortlessly. This water based, surfactant-free formulation delivers powerful cleansing efficiency without stripping away skin's moisture barrier. Keeps skin soft, moist and supple with every wash.

This is the bottle of the facial wash look like

Description behind



The ingredients and instruction

Putting the cleansing gel to the test:

From the left:
  • Water proof mascara
  • BB Cream
  • Water proof eye liner
  • Lipstick

 OK, the cleansing gel look like - white clear gel with nice scent



Gently massage over in circular motion on the stains, easily remove all traces except the water proof mascara was slightly need to massage over few times and the result is clear skin.

Skin is clear

Basically this is quite good but I recommend to use cotton to swap over especially eyes area because its stings if the gel traces leak to into eyes.


What I like about this cleansing gel

  • Affordable (RM32.50) This is cosway member price
  • Water based
  • Convenient two in one cleanser, can skip make up remover
  • Leaving skin moist, supple and soft
  • Easy dispenser

What I don't like about this cleansing gel

  • Stings eyes if gel leak into eyes
Overall this is a good cleanser.

Holika Holika Egg Soap

Hi all, here is another review on Holika Holika product (Korea Brand). It's called the Egg Soap, they have 4 types, you may purchase individually or buy the special set of 4 types all together, price is around RM80+ if I remembered correctly and may purchase from Holika Holika outlet, I think also available from sasa.com, the four types are:

  • White - for pore contraction
  • Green - dead skin cell care
  • Clay - Removal of dirt
  • Charcoal - Sebum absoption



The packing 

 Close up


Inside the packing contained 4 types of egg soap

My thoughts:


What I like about this product:

  • It feels like using real white egg

What I dislike about this product:

  • Not so hygienic because it's a soap bar.
  • The shape like egg need to hold carefully, otherwise will slip of your hand and onto the floor, it's not hygienic.
  • You need to have a special storage of container for this, to store it well.

Overall, I think this product is so so and will not re-purchase because, it's not moisturizing enough for me. Need to use for long term to see better results.

Skinlite Clean & Bright Oxygen Bubble Mask Blueberry Review

As promised here is the review for Skinlite bubble mask "Blueberry", if you missed the part one of this mask click here.

I bought this bubble mask from Sasa during promotion 3 packs for RM10.00 normal price at RM6.90 per pack (one sachet actually have two treatments). I really like the "Peach" mask as I mentioned earlier. So I was also excited to try the "Blueberry" one. To re-cap again the Peach one basically is for moisturize and re-illuminates dull skin and Blueberry one combats skin aging.


This is what the packing look like, more less the same like the peach one...only in blue... 

The back of the packaging...

Here is the description on the packaging...

Here is the ingredients... sorry forgotten to peel of the price tag, partially covered the ingredients...

After using the mask. Here is what I think about this mask...

What I like about this mask:
  1. Brighten my skin.
  2. Skin feels clean, supple and soft.
  3. Affordable.


What I don't like about this mask:
  1. I don't like the scent of this mask, it is not strong, some what smell like blueberry, but like chemical made kind of blueberry smell... 
  2. Skin feels slightly tight but tolerable, I think this is due to the green tea ingredient in this mask. (might not be a con after all if I guess is due to the green tea) green tea known for improving sagging skin. 

Overall, this mask is not bad but I prefer the Peach one. I will certainly re-purchase the peach one. Can't believe how this mask is cheaper than Sasatinnie mask and is somewhat better.
