Hello Lovelies ♥

in this post ill share my review and demo  of a few wash-off peeling masks by Skinfood. 
In total i got 3 of them:
♥ Rice Mask

All of them come in a semi transparent jar with 100g each.

Each of them cost arround 10-12€.
I bought mine off eBay and Yesstyle.com

♥ Rice Mask Wash off

A wash-off mask containing rice extract that moisturizes skin and brightens tone. With its texture of ground rice, it leaves skin bright, soft and lustrous. 


Star ingredient:

• Rice bran water

* To Use 
After washing, apply desired amount onto face, focusing on nose area while avoiding eye and mouth areas. 
Wait 10 to 15 minutes, and then wash off with warm water.

The texture of this mask is very soft and creamy, almost watery but not runny at all.
It has a very light scent of rice.
This mask is definately suitable for People with sensitive and dry Skin.

The exfoliation is very gentle with the little rice grains,
they almost melt while massaging the mask in.

I really like to work this into my Skin and usually give myself a good 10 minutes massage. Ur face feels so hydrated and fresh after washing everyting off~

So everyone who enjoy a very gentle exfoliation or just have super sensitive dry Skin should pick this one over the other masks.

The texture of this is super grainy and pasty. The scent is just divineeeeee ~♥
It smells super sweet.

Out of the 3, this one is def. the most ebrasive one. They suggest to mix this mask with water or a toner to avoid irritation.
Or you just mix it with any kind of oil you like, like me c:

Depending on my Skins mood swings, its more sensitive than on other days~ if i still wanna use that mask (because ist just too awesome) i'll mix a little bit of oil in it.

After massaging it in for about 2-3 minutes and leaving it on for 30 mins. your skin feels super smooth, supple and hydrated?! You will feel and see an immediate effect after using it, even if you just used it once.

LOOOOOVE IT ♥♥

Okay, if you like strawberries, this mask is your forever Lover. The scent is out of this world, if you ever have a Chance to sniff on this mask, please try. You will loooove it :D

The texture is almost gel-like, but not runny, and it has tiny strawberry seeds in it.
This mask is a good middle man between the Rice mask and the black sugar mask. It's def. not ebrasive at all but you can still get a good Peeling effect.


After massaging the mask in for 5 minutes i'll just enjoy that awesome scent on my face for 30 more minutes. After washing it off you'll get a similar effect of the black sugar mask one.

Black Charcoal Mask by Daiso ♥ Get rid of blackheads ~ First Impression Review

Hello pretty people ♥

I hope you guys had a wonderful new year 

and keep on your new years resolutions ;D 

Starting off the new year  by trying the black charcoal mask by Daiso ~

Let's face it ~

Blackheads are a real pain, they just seem to never go away or to just comeback IMMEDIATELY Dx

So I've been wanting to try out some products to get rid of them. And i really wanted to try out someof these black charcoalmasks that have been going on the social media sites a whileago~ Theone by Daiso was really easy for me to get a hold of since a german shop sold it. 

So no long waiting time and no customs yay~ 

"Formulated with the natural ingredients from Oaktrees, it removes oils and 

all dirt and deeply clean the pore, leaving your skin clearer with less visible pores."

... Is what it claims.

Consistency is real thick and very sticky like tar.

HOW TO USE

"After cleansing your face, evenly apply on the nose area and let it dry for 10-15min. If completely driedout, peel it off starting at the bottom,pulling towards the top."

So i washed my facewith a mild cleanser and the clarisonic

after i used my Time revolution Essence by Missha before i applied the mask onto my nose.

i applied a rather thick layer just tomakesure it really works xD

After arround 30 minutes the mask was super stiff 

felt funny ~

i peeled the mask of from the bottomtowards the top as the instructions suggested

Sadly the mask didnt remove as much as i wantedto~ so far its just like a nose strip u can get normally from the drugstore~

not so satisfying 

(sorry the after pic is just too light xD)

But i'll keep trying different products to get the wonder weapon against blackheads :>

Missha ♥ Time Revolution ♥ The First Treatment Essence

Hellooo Lovelies~ ♥ 

Todaaaay i'll make a review about this Essence here:

As you can see i used the left one all the way up. Apparently they changed the formula to "intesive" sadly i threw away the old Package so i can't really compare the 2 D: 

It changed packagewise and amount of product. The old package felt so luxurious it was that milky glas, very heavy and sturdy.
Now they changed it into some plastic bottle. It feels cheap but it's def more handy and your not really scared to break the thing any second xD

It'a clear liquid, not sticky at all kinda like water.

For some weird reason they changed the amount from 150ml to  130ml.

I can only talk about the old formula, but i'm pretty sure they didn't change too much. I've been using the intesive version for 2 weeks and i can't really tell a difference between the old one. 

The Price :

 US $19.96 + US $2.80 shipping 

i ordered it on eBay from a korean seller. I've waited for arround 3 weeks.

What it claims : 

(click on the pic to enlarge)

• Soothing
• Smoothing
• Balancing sebum level
• Moisturizing
• Improving skintone
• Firming 
• Wrinkle repairing
• Boosting

Directions:

It says to directly use it after cleaning your face. And i mean DIERCTLY. Like a few seconds after. I feel like that's the best time to apply the Essence. My skin is absorbing the essence so well. It's not sticky at all andit feels like your Skin is ready for some layring. It's the perfect base to layer some product. 

This is how you layer after Misshas directions:

Essence > Eye cream > Lotion > Cream

i always go from thinnest to thick in consitency~ Skin absorbs thinner consitency (like water, toner, essence etc.) faster than thicker (lotion, cream).So always go from thin to thick.

Ingredients list:

Sorry if the igrendients list is hard to read. the package is so shiny XDD 

Here is the List written: 

SACCHAROMYCES FERMENT FILTRATE, BIFIDA FERMENT LYSATE, PROPANEDIOL, NIACINAMIDE, POLYQUATERNIUM-51, AMARANTHUS CAUDATUS SEED EXTRACT, BETAINE, ULMUS DAVIDIANA ROOT EXTRACT, PENTYLENE GLYCOL, PIPER METHYSTICUM LEAF/ROOT/STEM EXTRACT, WATER,TREHALOSE, HYDROGENATED LECITHIN, HYDROLYZED CORN STARCH, PHENOXYETHANOL, BETA VULGARIS (BEET) ROOT EXTRACT, PHELLODENDRON AMURENSE BARK EXTRACT, CASSIA ALATA LEAF EXTRACT, DISODIUM EDTA, ADENOSINE, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, GLYCERIN, RAFFINOSE, TROMETHAMINE, ACETIC ACID, LACTIC ACID, 1,2-HEXANEDIOL, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, SODIUM HYALURONATE, POTASSIUM SORBATE, HEXAPEPTIDE-9

Well the activeingredient is here SACCHAROMYCES FERMENT FILTRATE which is fermented yeast of 80% which is their selling point in beein the magical ingredient. 



What i think about it

The whole bottle did last for a few months. I went on and off that product.

As usual i didn't really see a change in my skin while using it. I thought i just bought some plain old water. Altho i really wanted to use it up since i paid a fair amount for it xD

But after stop using it i found myself seeing a lot of change in my Skin. My skin was more dull not even didn't feel nice at all. So just to test it i restarted using the essence and there was it. This Essence did make my skin even, i had no red spots anymore, it was moist (...weird word) more plump and just felt all in all lot better. Little did i notice it was coming from this essence. Now i just feel like i can't live without it anymore, kinda weird knowing its used to make wine and beer XD

I really wanna try more of these Essences i've been laying my Eye on the innisfree soy bean essence. I'll leave a reviewwhen im getting that essence :D

Have a wonderful Daaaaaaaaay 

Miu ~♥

How to get clear bright Skin ♥ DIY Facemask - all natural

Hello ♥ 

This is is is my first DIY Facemask ;)

It's the infamous Turmeric Mask ~

The most awesome bright yellow color you will ever see on a facemask

(Simpson transformation?)

This will fight against your acne, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, acne scaring and brightens up, evens out skin tone and gives it a glow. Pretty much an allround talent c:

And the best ist.. it's all natural. Meaning it wont be harsh on your skin and you actually know what you put on your skin. The ingredients are super affordable aswell!

All you need is:

• 2 teaspoons of Gram Flour (Asia Shop)
• 2-3 Spoons of coconut oil / Olive oil / milk
• 1 teaspoon of honey
• 1 pinch of turmeric

This mask is used in india on the day before the brides wedding. They put this mask all over their bodies. (You can watch that on some bollywood movies :D )

I'm guessing the yellow tinch of that turmeric gives an extra glow on indian skin.

Turmeric has amazing hidden benefits for all over you. Not only Skin bur hair and health.

The active ingredient in turmeric is curcumin. It acts as an antioxidant. It protects the skin by quenching free radicals and reducing inflamm
ation.

Amazing what a yellow spice can do! :)

The mask should form a paste (kinda like toothpaste) then it is easy enough to pur on your skin and let it dry for 20-30 minutes until it becomes stiff and dry.

I always apply with an old foundation brush.

So you don't need to get your hands all dirty :>

You shud use this mask for 2-3 times a week to see results. This mask has helped me quiet a lot when i was going thru my war against acne :D not only does it calm down your skin, it lightens up your scaring.

It' still frustrating when your acne is gone but the scars are still left. This mask will help with lightening up those marks :D

Hope you enjoyed my video ♥

Winter SOS - Skin Care upgrade ♪

Okay.. There might not be a winterwonderland outside yet.... But i think we can all agree that it's freezing cold outside and heaters on inside.
What happens...?
Chapped lips, dry Skin, hands, hair, etc. The list goes on and on. So we need to change our Skincare according to the season :) 

Heres a list of what you can upgrade / downgrade:

Avoid Hot Water

Even tho we might want to bath and shower in hot water especially when it's so cold outside, try to avoid it! Hot water breaks down the lipid barrier which leads to loss of moisture.

Keep on the Sunscreen

Even tho we cannot see the sun there is still very damaging UVB and UVA rays. Don't skip applying sunscreen!

Avoid clay based face masks

They draw out too much moisture, try other masks this seasons c: There are endless options.

Pile on Chapsticks

I know i hate it too, but i havent found a chapstick that you put on in the morning (in winter time!) and have super duper moisurised lips all day. Please message me if you found it :) 
So the only way for me so far is too pile it on every now and then to avoid licking lips-Licking lips will make them mega dry !

Avoid alcohol based toners

Makes sense right? you should always avoid it anyways :)

Drink Water

We feel less thristy in winter, but we still need hydration. DonÄt forget to drink lots of water  

Humidifier

If you have super dry skin in winter, consider gettin a humidifier- It will add moisture into the air 


Let's be ready for winter ♪

Winter SOS - Chapped lips battle ♪

Battle chapped winter lips with this recipe ♥

We all feel it.

Winter is slowly crawling up~ It's getting colder and especially - drier.

I'm suffering from super dry chapped lips. Not only does it look super icky and gross, it's pretty painful and uncomfy :c

Piling on chapsticks just doesnt do the trick, its not moisturising enough; most chapsticks make your lips addicted so you keep on applying your chaosticks every 5 minutes. Not cool Dx 

As usual, the best ingredients are all natural ~

Just mix 1 teaspoon oh brown or white sugar with 1 teaspoon of honey. 











And start using it as a lipscrub~ and leave it on for at least 10 minutes.

Yummiest lipscrub ever! 

Sometimes i just apply honey before i go to bed, in the morning you lips feel amaaaaaaazing.

Your lips should feel all soft and okay again ♥

I hope this Winter SOS tip helped you :D

How to apply Eye Cream ♥

Yes, Yes, c: We all know it: 
the Skin around our eyes is the most delicate gets all dry and wrinkly if we don't take care of it. You can never start too soon with eye cream, prevention is better than healing.

Eye Cream is an important step in any skin care routine. It can reduce puffiness, reduce dark circles, moisturizes and gives you a more awake and youthful look.

But did you know that if you apply eye cream incorrectly you damage it more than doing it good? 

Here are a few DO's and DON'Ts :D



DO apply small dots around the eye, above the eye up to the eyebrow and under around your cheekbone.

DON'T apply too much, else the skin can't fully absorb, You're basically wasting product. 

Remember: a pea-size is totally enough! :)

DON'T apply too close to your eye ! A moisturizer travels about an inch. Applied too close to the eye it will cause irritation and puffiness. And we don't want that right? :D

DO use a cotton swap or your ring finger to apply the cream on your skin. Your ring finger is the weakest and will exert the least amount of force on your sensitive skin. 

DON'T pull at your skin, be gentle! Pulling might cause long-term damage.

DO tap and massage, pat until the cream or serum is fully absorb, try concentrate on problem areas like dry lines, wrinkles, etc.

And DO let it sink in before you apply any eye makeup or concealer. That way it wont cake up from any rest cream. 

Heres the Cream i use: 

Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Cream

Stay hydrated! This will def. help with dark circles too c:

I hope some of these tips helped ☻♥
