The Face Shop Clean Face White Post-Acne Brightening Serum

I was looking at my skincare stuffs earlier when I realized I haven't thrown a lot of it that were already empty. Then I realized I haven't shared my thoughts of it! Yikes! So I'll be reviewing some stuffs that I'm already done using for awhile. First in the list is the Face Shop Clean Face White Post-Acne Brightening Serum (whew!).

The Face Shop Clean Face White Post-Acne Brightening Serum

• helps control blemishes and restore healthy skin tone
• gentle brightening formula effectively fades post-acne marks
• oil-free serum with patent blemish control ingredient gently exfoliates old flakes and reduces excess sebum that can clog pores and lead to breakouts. Brightens and evens out skin tone for quick recovery from post-acne dull skin tone. Gentle formula appropriate for daily use.

My say:

Performance: 3/5 stars

Packaging: 3.5/5 stars

Pricing: 3/5 stars

Honestly, I bought this thinking that it will help lighten up those post acne marks that I have. Though I read some good reviews, it didn't really end up good on me :( It didn't meet my expectations after using this for almost two months. It didn't help lightened up those ugly marks nor improved my skin condition. It didn't even gave me any brightening effect. But on the good note, it didn't break me out :) I used this every night before I sleep. It comes in a white glass, pump-type bottle. You can't see the serum inside so you wouldn't know how much of the product you have. It comes in a light, liquid, white texture that is easily absorbed by the skin. Though it's oil-free, it didn't help much in the oily skin issue I have. I bought this at around Php500 (I think!?!) at a local Face Shop store. I think this is cheaper if bought directly from Korea. I have no plan of buying this again since it doesn't work for me.

Happy Wednesday :)

Shine Keeper: The Face Shop Span Matte Compact Powder

Wow tomorrow would be Friday! That means its the last day for the week. Time is flying so fast the next thing you know its weekend then its Monday again (hahaha!). This week is pretty stressful since deadlines were everywhere :( I don't want to think about it for awhile so let me immerse in this little home I have over at cyberspace :)

It's nice to be able to finish a product. You know that it did somehow work for you. In my case, I usually finish a product if it works fine with me like no breakout and a bit of improvement. I sometimes finish something just because I need to get the worth of my money (hahaha!). One product that I'm done with is The Face Shop Span Matte Compact Powder.

 my doggie-doggie likes it :)

The Face Shop Span Matte Compact Powder

• Inspired by water drops this light-weight base makeup line is formulated with tropical fruits that prevents allergy and dryness.

• Containing silicon this powder gives sheer natural looking coverage with high water retention. Skin looks clean and polished all day never cakey. Sheer to Medium coverage.

My say:

Performance: 5/5 stars

Packaging: 4/5 stars

Pricing: 4/5 stars

This is a good pact and I'm happy that I have tried this. It does its job in keeping my skin away from that ugly oiliness. It keeps shine-free up to 4 hours :) That is okay for me since I always do retouch every after 4 hours and it doesn't cake up. No break out for me :) Well I did break out when using this but I do not blame this pact since its totally hormonal issue. I got the number 21 shade and it perfectly fits my skin shade. Its very light that it gives a transparent color thus blending well with my skin :) I do like the design of the pact. Its comes in a petal-like pact case and it's in color pink! The only downside is the case that separates the puff from the powder. It comes with a plastic that wasn't built with the case. It can be inconvenient and less hygienic since you have to completely remove the case and there are tendency it could fall down on a dirty surface and thus you have to clean it :( I wish they made a built-in separate case just like the other pact I had. I bought this for almost Php 600 (I'm not quite sure) at local face Shop stores.

I hope tomorrow would be less stressful. Enjoy your Thursday night :)

The Face Shop Sheet Masks

Anytime from now we will have no lights/electricity again! grr! ... total blackness!... That's what happen 3 hours ago. I was writing this post when suddenly it was dark. This is due to the rotational blackout imposed by the energy department. So that would mean no internet for a few hours :( But since it's back, let me post a quick review on The Face Shop sheet masks I bought before and is overdue for a review.

Fresh Fruit Lemon, Herbal Therapy-Clarifying and Cereal Mung Bean

Fresh Fruit Lemon Mask Sheet

        Lemon containing impressive amount of vitamin C whitens dull skin and helps tighten enlarged pores. Great for oily skin

My say:

Performance: 3/5 stars

Packaging: 4/5 stars

Price: 3.5/5 stars

I bought this since this is good for oily skin. Again, I have an oily and acne-prone skin.  There were lots of mixed reaction on this. Some were happy while others were disappointed. And I'm on the disappointed team. I don't like this sheet mask. I remembered it was itchy on my face. It didn't do much on my skin :( This will never be on my shopping list for mask sheet to buy.

Herbal Therapy-Clarifying Mask Sheet in Tea Tree and Bergamot      

        Tea Tree & Bergamot are excellent for oily acne-prone skin as having strong sebum controlling.

My say:

Performance: 3.5/5 stars

Packaging: 4/5 stars

Price: 3.5/5 stars

This really caught my eyes since it has tea tree in it. I love anything that has tea tree. Tea tree does help in calming/soothing my acne-prone skin. Did this mask do anything on my face? Well no! There wasn't any soothing effect after 20 minutes of using this. But it didn't made my skin itch unlike the Lemon Mask. So it was just a plus point for no irritation.

Cereal Mung Bean Mask Sheet

        Soothing Mung Bean famous for its detoxifying quality soothes irritation and break-out of the skin while supplying protein-rich moisture. Great for oily acne-prone skin.

My say:

Performance: 4/5 stars

Packaging: 4/5 stars

Price: 3.5/5 stars

I had no idea that Mung Bean (Monggo in native language) can actually treat pimples. I just recently read this when searching for a good DIY mask for acne-prone skin. Now I understand why this mask actually works. It does help in soothing my already irritated skin. Though there wasn't much after using it but then since it help in soothing my skin I give it plus point.

Out of these three mask sheets, Mung Bean works for me. This will be on my list for mask sheet. These masks were sold at around Php90 a piece. I think with the price I'll only get Mung Bean again. Still Skin Food Herb Salad Mask Sheet tops my list :)

What's your favorite mask sheet? Share!

Take care guys :)

The Face Shop Changpo Magic Straight Shampoo and Conditioner

It's been awhile since my last post. I was so busy with work. Good thing I have a time right now to update my blog and share one of my favorite products that I discovered last year :) It's the Face Shop Changpo Magic Straight Shampoo and Conditioner.

source: http://www.thefaceshopen.com/

After reading Nikki's review on these I just had the sudden urge to try them. I bought a set which cost around Php600 and which is cheaper compare to buying separately which cost around Php 800. Great deal indeed :) I love how it makes my hair soft and tangle-free. My hair was rebonded last November and I want to keep my hair straight and shiny. This product doesn't really make your hair straight but rather it keeps those frizzes at bay and add shine to your hair. It doesn't weigh down my hair and it helps control my hair fall :) This line is amazing! I have already finished two sets of it. My sisters love it too!

My say:

Performance: 5/5 stars
Package: 4/5
Price: 5/5 stars

I tried to buy this product straight from Korea, but these are already being discontinued there :( I better stock up some of these if that's the case. Well I hope they won't discontinue these here. These are one of their bestsellers here so these must be kept! I wish they'll just revamp the package. I prefer my conditioner to be on an upside-down design. In that way it is easier for the conditioner to pour out since it is quite thicker compare to the shampoo's texture. But everything is fine then :)

Right now I'm changing my shampoo and conditioner. I cannot stay on same product forever. I have to routinely change my products or else it won't do good anymore on my hair or skin :( I'm currently using Elianto Scalp Care Shampoo and Shiseido Tsubaki. I'll give my review on these two soon :)

So have you tried this hair care line? If you haven't, grab one now before Face Shop remove it on the shelves :( By the way, this line has two range. The other one is the Changpo Wave Volume Up Shampoo and Conditioner. I think this is for wavy and curly hair.

Take care guys!

Movie time: G-Force and The Face Shop Hauls

Finally G-Force was shown in the country! I've been waiting for this for the longest time. I was able to watch it first on a dvd copy (pirated :p) But still I catch it on the local 3D cinema. This is my second time to watch a film on a 3D format and I'm loving it :)

The film is about a group of guinea pig, a mole and a fly who were trained to become Special Agents of the FBI. The group launched out a secret mission (without authority from their superior) on a home electronics and appliance magnate, Leonard Saber, who is being investigated by the FBI for years. They were able to get an important file that can be an evidence against him. However, on the day they report about it, the file was just about a coffee maker. And since there was no authority to execute the said mission, the group was disband and the facility was shut down. The animals were ordered to be captured and will be put on experiment and be killed. The group was able to escape but ended up on a pet shop. On the pet shop, they met a guinea pig, a hamster and a group of mice who ended up being part of the team :) They tried to escape from the shop in order to bring back their group and proved that they got a significant information and be part of the FBI again.

My verdict:

Popcorn: 5/5 popcorns

A film for everybody! Better watch this film on a 3D format. You'll surely enjoy the 3D effects. Very entertaining :) I have fun watching this movie with my friends and sisters :)




After watching the film, we went over to Face Shop :) and these are some stuffs I got. I always wanted to try their face masks. I've read lots of good reviews of it. I'll give my thoughts on these stuffs after I try them :)

Another product that I got is The Face Shop Changpo Hair Coating Essence. Nikki of Askmewhats is raving this product. Actually she is raving the whole line (lol!) I thought to try first on this and if it is good for my hair before I ventured out to the whole line hehehe! I'll review on it soon :)

So what did you do last weekend? I hope you had fun like I do :)


Take care always guys!

Mask Sheet Review: Skin Food Herb Salad and Watsons Herbal Aloe Vera Stretchable

Mask Sheet is one of my favorite beauty regimen. So easy-to-use, hassle-free, convenient and not messy at all! :) The first time I used a face mask sheet, I never turned my back on it then! I have tried three mask sheets so far: Skin Food Herb Salad Mask Sheet, Watsons Herbal Aloe Vera Stretchable Mask, and a Japanese-made Mask Sheet (which I won't review because I don't know the name of the brand).

Watsons Herbal Aloe Vera Stretchable Mask (sorry i can't provide picture :(... )

My sister bought a pair of this mask. I asked for the other one to try it. The mask has cooling sensation upon putting it on the face. However, my face felt itchy while and after using it. Made no difference on my face. Too much essence on the sheet that it feels sticky after using it.

My verdict:
Packaging: 5/5 stars (very likey the package ;) )
Performance: 1/5 stars
Price: 5/5 stars (Php 50+)

I wanted to love this mask sheet because it is affordable and I believe aloe vera is good for acne-prone, oily skin type. I felt sad that it didn't do anything on my face.

Skin Food Herb Salad Mask Sheet



The first mask sheet I tried from Skin Food. I bought it over at ebay for around Php 60. This mask is for sensitive skin. Since my skin is oily and acne-prone type, I went ahead and bought it to try help ease the freaking acnes on my face. I have my monthly period just recently so my enemies showed up (hehehe).

The sheet has a cooling sensation and does not sting at all. It smells like a herb (obviously from the name) which I kinda like :) It didn't left me any itchiness feeling compare to the other two mask sheets i tried so far. Though it didn't shrink or decrease my acne but it soothes the pain from the acne.

My verdict:
Packaging: 5/5 stars...
Performance: 4/5 stars...
Price: 5/5 stars (Php 60+)...

With continued use I believe this will help me in fighting my enemies! :)

I am still in search for the best mask sheet on the market right now. I want to try the mask sheets from The Face Shop because I read and heard a lot of good reviews of the masks. Hope to get my hands on them soon... hehehe :)

Til next time!
Baboosh:)
