039 - My Beauty Diary Black Obsidian Moisturising Black Mask (Product Review)

Hellooo! I'm back again!

This time back with My Beauty Diary Mask! Also known as 我的美丽日记, this is a brand most Singaporean girls are familiar with, especially for facial masks! The brand comes with soooo many flavours that you'll surely be able to find one suitable for your ever-changing skin condition!

As the Number 1 Facial & Eye Mask brand in Singapore, My Beauty Diary made improvements to its formula, features and packaging. The enhanced mask range now features a uniquely patented ingredient - Cosphingo™ with long-lasting moisturizing property for improved hydration, enabling the skin to feel soft and supple like baby’s skin! Made of high-quality fine and smooth cotton fibres from Japan, this cotton sheet mask feels extremely gentle on the skin, and its exceptional absorption ability allows the essences from the mask to be thoroughly absorbed by the skin, enhancing its skin care benefits. Free of harmful paraben preservatives, alcohol, mineral oil, pigments and fluorescent agents, these masks are safe for use on all skin types including sensitive skin.

My Beauty Diary has recently launched its NEW Black Mask range featuring three exquisite variants - Black Obsidian Moisturizing, Black Rose Brightening and Black Pearl Total Effect Black Masks. Utilizing mystical black ingredients to help eliminate skin pigmentation, unevenness and loose skin caused by UV rays and environmental impurities, the deluxe Black Mask series helps to restore uneven skin tone, enhance skin elasticity, leaving your skin rejuvenated, deeply moisturized with dewy radiance! 

2 special features of the Black Masks are:

3D Hyaluronic acid and Yeast compound - The unique structure of the 3D Hyaluronic acid forms a protective film over the skin to replenish and retain moisture, preventing dehydration and allowing skin to stay deeply hydrated. Yeast compound helps tighten and regulate skin tone, and effectively soothes fatigue skin in just 15-20 minutes to reveal a glowing, youthful and velvety smooth complexion.

Conforming lack Sheet Mask Material - With refined tailoring and texture characteristics, the black sheet mask material provides the perfect fit that conforms not only to your facial contours, but also your neck area, offering optimal adherence and comfort fit you deserve. Infused with essential essences to deliver instant nourishment to your skin, this mask simultaneously eliminates impurities in the pores, yielding porcelain, shine-free and silky smooth skin!

Packed in a box of 5, the Black Obsidian Moisturising Black Mask is suitable for normal skin types and especially recommended for skin requiring intense hydration and illumination.

Rich in trace elements and minerals that restores healthy skin, French Black Obsidian helps support the skin’s protective mechanism and enhances the skin’s hydrating power. The infusion of Laminaria digitata and sugar maple delivers intense hydration to the deep layers of skin to improve dry skin texture, revealing renewed and brighter skin. Enriched with numerous soothing ingredients like Calendula officinalis, Licorice, and Ruscus aculeatus extracts to relieve dry, rough and irritated skin, the mask is also rich in Bladder wrack seaweed, Aloe vera, and hydrolyzed Jojoba for improved hydration, allowing the skin to feel optimally nourished, revitalized with glowing luminosity! 

Check out how moist the Black Obsidian Moisturising Black Mask is! Dripping with beauty goodness! Can't wait to slap it on my face! 

Fitting my face, nice and snug!

038 - Palmer’s Skin Therapy Oil for Face (Product Review)

Hello there! It has been awhile since I have last reviewed a product. Sample Store send me more, pretty please? Hee.

It's been almost a month since the start of CNY. How time flies!! Sometimes I really wish time can slow down a little so that we can make full use of each passing day. Or maybe it's just me reaching a stage where birthdays come too quickly each year that I am now afraid to count the number of candles on my cake. >.<

But of course to console myself and everybody else, age is just a number! What's most important is to feel young and look young(that's what everybody hope)! 

So, what's the key thing to looking young? Personally I feel that the facial skin condition is one of the most important factors. By saying skin condition, I don't just mean clear skin without acne problems. The tightness of the skin plays an important role in showing your age on the face too. Fine lines at the eye area and neck are now all too familiar to me. :(

Before I go into the details, let's look at the short video of the product which I'm going to share! :)

Sooooo.... I have applied the Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil for Face and Neck religiously for the past 4 nights and here are my Before and After photos (Left: Before, Right: After)!

Okay, so sorry if I have frightened anybody. But these are my bare-faced photos la. Note that even though my dark eye rings still look bad, my face do look brighter on the whole! :)

Fine lines begone! I don't want you anywhere on my face! Honestly I was truly surprised to see this set of results, coz I was trying really hard to get rid of the fine lines below my eyes and now they are almost gone! Anyway the lines on my eye lid is probably because I squinted harder when taking the "After" photo, so it looks worse than the "Before" photo. 

For the neck, I couldn't really see significant results yet. Maybe coz the lines are thicker and more obvious so more time is required? Lol. We shall see again.

All in all, I am pleasantly amazed at the results that Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil for Face have given me and will definitely continue to use it. Like many of you (I am quite sure), I am skeptical about applying oil on my face. What if it resulted in oily skin, or worse still oil bumps? Not to worry because the formula is light and treats deep into your skin! I'm glad that I've tried and I'll not look back! :)

The Palmer's Skin Therapy Oil for Face is retailing at S$29.90 and you can purchase this product at Watsons, Guardian, Unity, Robinsons, John Little, BHG, leading pharmacies and cosmetic stores and online stores.
