Review: Cotton Pads Showdown - Guardian VS Selena

I cant believe it.. I can even write a review on cotton pads lol. Well, sometimes you wont know how good a product is till you change it haha.

The contestants today are Guardian Facial Squares & Selena Clean Puff ( From Sasa).


Round 1: Price

Guardian facial squares is retailing for $2.2 per box, 100 pads in a box., made in malaysia. Selena Clean Puff is 2boxes for $3.95 at Sasa, each box has 80 pads, made in Japan. If you were to do the calculations, Guadian is cheaper by a little, each is $0.022 while selena is $0.0246.

Sometimes when Sasa is having offers, 4boxes of Selena cost $3.95 only.


Winner: Guardian won by slight margin.

Round 2: Quality
( Left: Selena, Right: Guardian)

Both cotton pads are soft and smooth in texture. Guardian is slighly smoother on the surface. From the side of the cotton pads, you can see there are some cotton fluff for selena's. But they wont be all over my face when i use them to remove mascara etc.

I usually use cotton pads to apply my ettusais shooter (Liquid). I tried it with Guardian's yest and i dono if the cotton pads are really so thick or what, I usually only need to press the spray 3times and the selena cotton pad will be wet enough to dab all over my face. But for guardian's, I spray around 5x and it seems like the cotton pad absorb it all! the surface is still not damp enough when i dab it on my face. I wasted so much shooter instead. There goes my $$$..


Winner: I will see Selena as the winner cos it save alot of my shooter!


Verdict: Selena! For cotton pads, i feel that its important to get better ones cos i dont like the wool/fluff all over my face will i use my toner or remover. Next, to save on toner etc, a good cotton makes a difference! Spending a bit more on cotton will save me more money on toner etc in the long run.

Review: Oil Blotter Showdown - Clear & Clear VS Anna Sui VS Kleenex VS Ettusais

ALright, another showdown today! Its a fight between the oil blotters lol.

CLean & Clear VS Anna Sui VS Kleenex VS Ettusais!!


Round 1: Price

CC: $4.4 for 50 sheets

AS: $8 for ? Not stated on box, but I think it has around 80 sheets or more since 1 packet can last up to 3months when i use them 5x a week, at least 2 each day.

K: $3.65 for 50 sheets. I finally found it at ion guardian after searchin for like 2weeks?! there is a 50cents discount coupon in cleo mag Aug issue :)

E: $9 for 50sheets. I got it for free cos its given out as a freebie when you have 10stamps in your ettusais card.


Winner: Its a fight between kleenex and Anna sui, but due to absorbent ability, kleenex should be the winner cos i tend to use 2 sheets for anna sui's.



Round 2: Design


CC: Normal looking blue sheets. With tape on packet so we can take out 1 sheet easily. probably the tape is too strong, 2 sheets will be taken out sometimes.

AS: Pretty purple shade with butterflies prints! The design of the packet is lovely too! Its designed so conveniently that only 1 sheet will be taken out each time.




i hope you can see the the butterflies on the blotter! so lovely! Its not vv obvious in real life too though.

K: Plain Pretty purple on 1 side, pretty floral designs on the other. similar to CC, there is a tape to help us take out the sheets. Becos the sheet is rather thick, so only 1 sheet can be taken out each time.
Even the box is made with a material thats better than the rest! The manufatured date is printed at the back of box :) Made in taiwan.

The one on top is the front, which pple will see when we are blotting lol. the one at the bottom is the side which we blot :) It wil turn dark purple after absorbing out oil.


Ettusais: Brown sheet thats looks like sand paper haha.


Winner: I still think Anna Sui box looks the best! haha. BUT i think its easier for others to spot the kleenex shhet design from far compared to Anna Sui's cos of the material of the sheets. u know, sometimes u just wanna show off the pretty things you have LOL. So i declare its a tie between Anna Sui & kleenex!


Round 3: Texture & Material


CC: Feels plastic-sy to me haha. I dono isit me or what, but i do feel that sometimes the sheet is not smooth enough when i dab abit too hard on my face. Oil seeps through sometimes..

AS: Surface is smooth. Because its so thin, oil does seep through! So my fingers feel greasy sometimes after blotting

K: Oil does not seep through since its twin layer! Sheet is so soft and much thicker than the rest! Very spongy feeling when i dab it on my face!

E: Slightly rougher than AS. Due to the thin material as well, oil seeps through! According to a friend (she will kill me if i reveal her name here lol), her sheets tore when she was blotting omg!

Winner: Definitely Kleenex! It just feel so soft, smooth and spongy on my face!!

Round 4: Discreet

Discreet meaning if people can know how much oil i have on my face by looking at the blotter =.=

CC: not only me, practically everybody can see how much oil i have! :( Since that film turns transparent when oil is absorbed..Its so unglam & embarrassing for me especially when i tend to blot in front of others rather than in the ladies.

AS: because of the material and color of the sheet, its almost impossible for others to see the oil, but at the same time, its quite hard for me to see as well. hence, its hard for me to know if i need to another sheet, thus usually causing me to use 2sheets each time.
K: Its designed in a way that only i can see how much oil i have haha! The plain side which we use will turn darker showing us how much oil is absorbed! People opp me can only see the lovely floral prints hehe. well, make sure no1 is standing behind u wahaha.
E: Though material is similar to AS, but cos its brown in color, so its easier for us and pple to see the oil on the sheet. Not as obvious as C&C though.


Winner: Kleenex for sure!


Round 5: Absorbent


CC & K: Can absorb oil well for both. I cant decide which is better since i just started using kleenex today haha! Shall update it when i finish the pack

AS & E: Cant really absorb well, have to dab a few more times on same area. Sometimes i feel its a plus point cos i dont want all my oil to be gone and my face will end up secreting more oil since its like a equilibrium system. i usually have to use 2 sheets for my whole face.


OVERALL: KleeneX! Sheets are soft on our delicate skin, reasonably priced, & pretty at the same time! What more can we ask for!

Review: Hair Treatment Showdown: Asience Hair Treatment VS Skinfood Moisture Egg Hair Pack













Was crazy over hair products lately, after trying to hard to save my face, I reckon my hair deserved some attention from their owner too lol.

I am pretty lazy when it comes to hair care, I am one of those who does not use conditioner daily. Prolly because I think my short hair dont really need conditioner. Or to be exact, i dont have a conditioner lol. I mistaken my asience treatment as conditioner previously oops. This tells you how much concern I have for the hair on my head.

Well, I still think my face is more important than my hair, so I wont be spending hundreds on those hair treatments at salons etc. But I'll prolly spend a bit more on hair products say getting a conditioner real soon. =p

I've got myself hair essence, hair mask so far.

I'm going to do a product comparison on 2 of my pathetic hair products collection i've at home today.


Asience Hair treatment VS Skinfood Moisture Egg Hair Pack


Round 1: Price & size

Asience (180g) cost only about $12 while skinfood (200g) cost me $28!

Winner: Asience of course!

Round 2: Scent

I prefer Asience to be frank. But skinfood's scent is not too bad as well.


Round 3: Effects

I think this is the most important factor to most.

Asience: my hair was smooth and soft after usage.
Skinfood: Hair was smooth, but not as smooth as compared to asience. Dont feel soft too.

Overall winner: Asience! For that price, I guess its result is not too bad but I wanted something more for my frizzy hair seriously. Both products dint help my frizzy hair much. But if your hair is not as frizzy in the 1st place, I guess asience is worth trying. Skinfood hair pack is totally not worth that price in my opinion though I've heard quite a few raves for that product.


最近越来越觉得自己亏待了在我头上的那撮杂草。所以非常积极地想作出补偿,开始留意市面上的护发产品。非常惭愧,我至今还没有为我的杂草买润发乳(conditioner),因为我一直误以为我家的那根东西是润发乳!最近才愕然发现原来那是护发乳(treatment)!=.= 这足以反映我市多么“重视”我的头发。

我还是坚持脸比头发更重要,但今后我将会更关心我的头发,不再忽略它们。哈哈。

今天的大比拼是Asience Hair Treatment 润发乳 VS Skinfood Egg Moisture Hair Pack 蛋白质滋养发膜。

Round 1:价格

不管横看竖看,都是Asience 啦!Asience 180g 才S$12, skinfood 200g 卖 S$28 左右!差别太大了...

Round 2:香味

我个人会比较喜欢Asience 的.. 但Skinfood 的也不差。


Round 3: 效果

用完Asience,会觉得头发很柔软,很滑。Skinfood相对来说,差了一点,没那么滑,头发也似乎没那种柔软的感觉。


结果:Asience压倒性胜利!这样的价位有此效果是很不错,但我希望更好,因为两者对于我头上的一些翘起来的头发,那些一根根站起来的那种没有太大的改善。但若你的头发没有太大的杂毛,Asience应该是不错的选择,Skinfood就免了吧,太贵而且效果也不及前者。

Review: Acne Patch ShowDown - Nexcare Acne Patch VS Cettua Trouble Clear Patch




Since im a sucker for zip zapper products, there is no way i will give these acne patches a miss! So who are the contestants today?

Nexcare Acne Patch (Ladies) VS Cettua Trouble Care Patch

Where to buy them?

Most of us out there should know we can get nexcare acne patches at the watsons & guardians locally. As for Cettua (Korean brand) patch, its available at sasa.com, ALT heeren and pink beauty (AMK outlet, refer to Beauty bargains label for directions to the shop ).

Round 1: Price

Well, for nexcare, 18 (6 big patches and 12 small patches) patches cost me about $4.80 while 48 cettua patches ( size is similar to nexcare big patches) only cost me $3.90.

Winner: The price diff is so big! Cettua is the winner for this round!


Round 2: Texture & Scent

Nexcare: yellowish and Spongy gel like patches that are comfy enough to leave it on skin overnight. i dint detect any scent too. Due to the texture, these patches may sometimes come off while i am slping.

Cettua: Transparent and plastic like patches that can be rather uncomfy if i paste too many of them on my face. I cant really smell the tea tree till i put the un-used patches in a box.

something to take note is i think it will be quite unglam if i were to paste nexcare patches on my face when im out. however, ive no problem with cettua patches since its transparent and as slim as 0.0000001 mm haha.


Winner: I think nexcare is more comfy compared to cettua. Cos cettua patches are 'flat', i feel that my skin wont be able to breathe with it since it sticks to my skin so closely.


Round 3: Effects

I've tried nexcare on red bumps (pimple that threaten to pop out the next day) and pimples with pus. Well, it did not work for my red bumps, they still look the same after 1 night, did not shrink in size too. But for pimples with pus, nexcare do help to suck the pus out. however if the pimples are big, i may need 2 or more patches to suck out all the pus.

Cos cettua stick too closely to my skin, i dint dare to stick them on my pimples with pus. I only stick them on those red bumps. Sometimes, it does shrink those bumps, only a little though. Probably due to the tea tree and salicylic acid in the patches. Though i paste them on bumps only, it actually hurt more than nexcare when i am removing them!


Winner: I think nexcare will be more effective for most pimples.


Overall: I declare nexcare as the winner for this showdown! haha. But frankly, i dint really think these patches are that useful actually. Nexcare is simply to expensive to use daily, or when ive more than 2 zits on my face at the same time. I think an effective pimple cream will be a better bet.

Alternative way to use these patches:
If u are one of those with itchy hands, likes to squeeze pimple etc, pasting these patches on our faces can probably prevent us from touching the zips, hence minimising the chances of irritation and so on.

Guest Review: Neutrogena Deep Hydrating Mask VS Neutrogena Hydro Boost Mask




I got miao to do a review on her fave neutrogena masks! tks babe :)

Guest reviewer ~ miao~

Well im sure most people have seen this mask because it’s sold practically everywhere!! In supermarts, Watsons and guardian…

I started using this mask when I was slightly more well-to-do in 2nd yr of university. Previously it was known as “Deep Hydrating Mask” and offered the Vitamin C formula to help brighten my skin.

How you use it is the same as most sheet masks – leave it on for about 15-20minutes and then take it off without rinsing! And I must say that Deep Hydrating Mask was one of my top favourites, that I always had to snag as many as I could at Watsons when they had the 1 for $1.95 offers!! It always managed to replenish the moisture lacking in my skin and also give me a radiant, bouncy complexion for the next day, as though I had a very good day of sleep and in the pink of health!!

Some time last year/ early this year, Neutrogena decided to phase out the Deep Hydrating series and replace it with Hydro Boost skincare items for moisturizing skin. While I have read online about the products like moisturizer gel having strong fragrance, I did not experience this with the Hydro Boost masks (thankfully).

But not all is beautiful – I experienced breakouts using this mask. Thing to note here is that I have oily skin, probably a little dry in the cheek area from time to time, and I had many small little bumps thanks to Hydro Boost’s new formulation of the mask!! Was v disappointed in my purchase as I had spent money to buy the full priced box of 5 masks at $31.50 but had such poor results. ): as such, I concluded that the mask was too rich for people with oily skin like me and so I kept it aside…

Until I came back from Japan in May. For some perverse reason, my skin became so dehydrated from my 10 days trip there, that my old skincare stopped working well for me. I started to have bumps on my face, which were not the usual pimples filled with pus, but just bumps. I started to suspect that I have dry skin and after some time, I thought to myself that there was no harm trying out that super rich Hydro Boost that broke me out, since my face already has SO MANY bumps.

And so I did, and YES YES YES!! It finally worked for me!! Gave me smooth and soft skin, and helped my angry and stubborn bumps (which I assume are from dry skin!) to soften and shrink and now they are subsiding!! So I really conclude that this mask is really good for HYDRATING.

In terms of a glowing effect, I would say its predecessor does much better, perhaps thanks to the Vitamin C formula that brightens your overall appearance?? I don’t know what is it exactly, but definitely the previous formulation would make my classmates and friends go like “WOW you are GLOWING” unlike this one now, which jus softens and hydrates my skin. However this mask helped my skincare (after the mask) absorb into my skin beautifully, and so my skin got really well pampered over that one night, after nights of horrid dry bumpy skin!!

My rating for this would be 7.5/10 for hydrating effect, but not pocket-friendly price (if you get lucky you might get it at $2.95 sometimes as Watsons, but don’t count on it!), not brightening up my skin and also not making my face feel as bouncy as it would, unlike with the Deep Hydrating range.

Hope this review helps!! (:

Review: Hand Cream Showdown - Loccitane VS H2o+ Spa VS Ahava!


Yes! its hand cream showdown again woohoo~

this time its between L'occitane shea butter, H20+ Spa & Ahava Mineral handcream :)

Ive compared them when i used them in air con places, cos tts when my hands are really dry i realised.


Round 1: Price

Its hard to compare the price because they are in diff sizes & i got them in packages etc. but since i will be bringing them out, so size is v impt to me. For this round, per ml price will be the most impt factor here to be fair.

Loccitane: 30ml, bought it with a small tub of shea butter for $41. If im not wrong, another package is 3 for $43 too. well, its v expensive no matter what! i'll tak it that its $11 then. the 150ml is not v portable, i forgt the exact price but i think its above $40.

H20+ Spa: I bought it as a xmas package, 5 for $25, so this is only $5 for 30ml. the other size they have is either 150ml/200ml cant remember, its around $20+ if im not wrong.

Ahava: Mine has got 50% extra, so its 150ml. but the usual 100ml is $22.

Result: I'll update the prices asap, but for now, i think its rather clear. L'occitane is the most expensive, next will be ahava then h20+. So for now, i'll put h20+ as the winner for this round 1st.

Round 2: Scent

L'occitane: smells lk baby lotion, a milky one haha. not too bad.

H2o+: Ive alr said in my previous post, i hated h2o+ handcream's scent.. smells v artificial.

Ahava: quite a powdery scent, smells like baby powder too haha. its the natural smell of the product cos there is no added fragrance.

Result: my fave got to be ahava! 2nd will be loccitane of cos.

Round 3: Texture & absorption

Loccitane: Not too thick in texture. Rather easy to absorb.

H2o+: most watery out of the 3 here.

Ahava: not as thick as loccitane. take some time to be absorbed.

Result: H2o+ will be the easiest to absorbed.


Round 4: Moisturising

Result: I think Ahava is slightly more moisturising than Loccitane. Last will be h2o+.



Overall: Well, to me, moisturising will be the most important factor, next will be price. so Ahava seems to be the winner here. Loccitane is far too expensive for me. h2o+ is really not moisturising enough

Review: Thermal Spray Showdown - Avene vs Vichy


hohoho~ here comes another showdown, between the thermal sprays this time round!


i started using spray mist/thermal spray since last sept, and have enjoyed it v much. i use it to refresh myself, for soothing purposes, as a toner etc. i also sprayed b4 & after masking too. when i run out of oil blotter, i will spray it too! i find that it helps to ‘disperse’ the oil on my face haa! lastly, it is believed to be able to set make up too. i tried it with make up on, and it does not smudge .


i tried 3 brands so far, fancl spray mist, avene & vichy. since i dont have fancl’s with me, and i dont think im going to buy that again anyw (cos its too ex! $30 for 30ml), im only comparing avene’s & vichy theraml spray in this post.


Round1 : Price & Size

the one in the picture above is 150ml (vichy) and 50ml (avene). i bought my vichy one as a bundle, two 150ml for $22.90 @ guardian. its the largest size available, and if im not wrong, vichy only has 50ml/150ml. i bought the largest size to use @ hm since its more worth it in the long run.
the 50ml avene one cost me $9.90. avene thermal spring water comes in 3 sizes — 50ml, 150ml & 300ml. watson & guardian usually sell the 300ml in a bundle, two 300ml for $29.90.

btw, 150ml lasted me 2+ months, when i use 2-3x a day

in conclusion, if we were to compare the price, avene is very much cheaper for the bigger bottle. but for portable size 50ml, its same for both. So Avene wins this round.

Round 2: Benefits


Both have lotsa trace elements, like calcium, magnesium etc. If i am not wrong, the mineral composition can only be found on the big bottle, not the 50ml ones.
For calcium, sodium, vichy is alot higher in mg per litre. while avene has slighly higher mg for magnesium. The pH for both is 7.5.
i remembered comparing between the amount of elements for vichy & la posay roche, vichy has got higher amt for most except one, thats element is for soothing, hence making la posay roche more soothing than vichy’s. this is what the SA told me at guardian the other time.
It seems that vichy has got more trace elements compared to avene. but For me, i find both sprays equally hydrating, but avene seems to be able to sooth my skin better as compared to vichy’s. so if i were to compare the results & effects, avene wins this round.

round 3: shelf life

Vichy has got a expiry date while avene does not have. ive got no idea why, but this is definitely a plus point for avene.

Overall: avene definitely won by a huge margin.. though vichy MAY contain more trace elements thats good for our skin, but avene definitely is a better buy bcos of the shelf life & wallet friendly point. BUT i will probably buy vichy 50ml portable size to carry it around, and avene 300ml to use at home. this way i can get benefits from both thermal spray haa!
The famous Niu er laoshi from taiwan recommends avene to other thermal sprays too! he call it the 天一神水!

Review: Hand Cream Showdown - H2o+ Nature Spring, Milk and Spa




bought h2o+ travel sized pack last dec. five 30ml tubes for $25, q worth if one wanna try their hand cream, esp when the sizes for their handcream is nt exactly portable. they come in pump and v big tubes only.


tried 3 ‘flavors’ : natural spring, milk & spa, spa is their best seller for hand cream if im nt wrong. a 30ml tube can last me for like 2-3mths when i used it daily, i apply at least 2x/day when i go to school.

Round1: Ingredients

Natural spring: vitamin & mineral rich marine extracts, aloe vera and provitamin B. silk protein and vitamin E to help nourish nails and cuticles. sea fennel, wakamem and sea lettuce are in the list too.

Milk: milk protein and hydrolzed silk help fortify nails and cuticles. vitamins A, D, E and provitamin B blend with seaweed and mikl thistle to help hydrate.

spa: silk protein and vitamin E help nourish nails. vitamin and mineral rich marine extracts, aloe vera and panthenol help restore moisture. sea fennel, wakamem and sea lettuce are in the list too.

the ingredients look gd right! i tnk Spa has a combi of marine extracts and proteins, so i guess in terms of ingredients, spa seem to be the best, milk wil be 2nd.

Round 2: Scent

they all smell horrible! but ive friends who think they smell ok, so i guess its subjective. i think spa smell the best, milk the 2nd. my friend agrees with me. and i tnk the scent is q strong, cos whenever i apply in a enclosed area, my tutees would complain haha.

Round 3: Moisture

i tried them 1 after another, meaning 1 tube after 1 tube; im on my 3rd tube (spa) now. i feel that spa is able to moisturise my dry hands better, milk 2nd. but still, they cant really satisfy my ultimate dry hands, esp when im in air-con room. within 5min, my hands feel dry again and i usu need to apply 2x in a row >.<>only happen in air con room though.

Verdict: a v clear cut win by spa, and 2nd for milk. i wont repurchase cos i really dislike the scent and they are not the most moisturing handcream tt ive tried so far, ahava is my fave for now. but if u do not really have dry hands, u can gif it a try cos the ingredients really look impressive haha! its v affordable too, if i dint rmb wrongly, a big tube (200ml i tnk) of spa cost $21 only.

one thing to tak note when u are buying h20+ stuff in Sg — look @ the expiry dates of the pdts you are buying. im rather annoyed and upset abt this cos i bought the hand cream in dec 09, but the manufactured dates were actually 2008. tts like almost 2yrs apart! im q pissed cos i prefer ‘fresh’ pdts. i believe the efficacy wil decrease as time goes by, so the furthest i can accept is 6mths fr the date i bought it. since the h2o+ hand cream were manufactured so long ago, it made it q impossible for me to keep them for long too tts why im trying so hard to finish them even though i dont really lk it im q disappointed with this actually. if drugstore brands can do it, i dont see why h2o+ cant seriously. so chk the dates when u r buying h2o+ stuff.

Review: Lip Balm ShowDown - Vaseline vs Mary Kay vs Ettusais vs Anna Sui

after trying countless of lip balms, i decide to write a review & compare the current 4 lip balms that ive with me right now. by the way, ive VVVV dry lips if you noticed.

the contestants are:

1) Vaseline lip therapy (advanced formula)
2) Mary kay satin lips lip balm
3) Ettusais lip essence spf 18 PA++
4) Anna sui lip balm


i will be naming them according to their initials as follows: (1V) (2MK) (3E) (4AS)

Round1: Price & Quantity!

(1v) $3.90, 10g. (2mk) $20, 8g. (3e) $26, 8g. (4AS) $30, 16g.

as you can see, if u were to compare, (1v) is definitely gonna be the cheapest of all! 2nd shld be (4AS) :)

Round 2: Packaging!

do i need to say more?!! (4AS) of coz! 2nd would be (3E).

Round 3: Convenience & tip design (the part which touches my lips)

as you can see, (1V) (2MK)(3E) are in tube while (4AS) is in a tub. for the tip design, (2MK) & (3E) have the same tip design shown below:


(1V) has the round tip design. For (4AS), Ive to use a lip brush to apply, using hands is q impossible, wont be able to pick up enough balm for the lips & it will be unhygenic as well. so for this round, obviously (2MK) & (3E) are the winners.

round 4: scent

they are all fragrance free except (4AS) if im not wrong. (4AS) has a rose scent, my fave! (3E) is fragrance free, but it does smell nice too for some reason haha, mebbe its bcos of the ingredient. (1V) & (2MK) are petroleum based so they dont really smell nice. so obviously, (4AS) is my 1st & (3E) will be my 2nd

Round5: Texture & Effects

(1V) can be q hard to spread on the lips, not as watery as compared to (2MK).

(2mK) will be most watery of all, and its very watery! this makes application much smoother and easier, and u wont even feel u are wearing sth! but it can be hard to control the amount applied as well due to this texture. after applying, lips looks fuller cos of the watery feel, but looks most healthy! after a while, the lips tend to absorb in the balm though, so the watery effect dont last v long.


(3E) is in between the 2 above. its the most glossy among the 4 as well. i rmb JX once commented that my lips look oily, probably i applied too much or wad =.= the essence is abit sticky too. the +point is that its the only one with sun protection! but i realised whenever i apply this lipbalm, it always form a white layer (i suppose is dead skin) on my lips another friend experienced this too, pretty ugly i feel!


(4AS) the texture is just right, not sure if its between im using a brush though. the gloss is just right too!


for effects & texture wise, i prefer (2MK) the most! 2nd will be (4AS).


Round 6: Moisturising

(1V) is the most moisturising of all for my super dry lips! for the 2nd placed, i cant decide between this 2.. so its a draw between (4AS) & (3E)


RESULT: Anns Sui won!!! Reasonably priced, pretty, nice scent & Quite moisturising. lol. 2nd runner up is Vaseline! there is a close fight between (1V) & (2MK) by the way.. BUT, if ur lips aint that dry, go for (2MK)! the watery, healthy & natural looking effects is really great!


这几年试过许多唇膏,所以决定让家里的4支唇膏一较高下!本人的嘴唇是属于非常干燥型的。

要对决的4支护唇膏是:

1)Vaseline (凡士林)Advanced formula,简称 (1V)
2) Mary kay satin lips lip balm 简称 (2MK)
3) Ettusais (艾杜纱) 唇部修护精华 spf 18 PA++ 简称(3E)
4) Anna sui 安娜苏 , 简称 (4AS)



第一局 :价位和容量

(1v) $3.90, 10g. (2mk) $20, 8g. (3e) $26, 8g. (4AS) $30, 16g.

一看就知道,凡士林是最便宜的!第二是安娜苏

第二局:包装

这还用说吗?!当然是安娜苏啦!第二是艾杜纱

第三局:方便和款式 (这里指的是碰触嘴唇的地方)

(1V) (2MK)(3E) 都是一支支的,只有(4AS)是罐装型。而(2MK)(3E) 的设计有点不同(看以上的图片),比起(1VS)那圆圆的设计,它们用起来更方便。而(4AS)还得配合小刷子使用,不然的话有手会很不卫生。

所以这局是 (2mk)(3E)获胜

第四局:香味

除了(4AS),其他3支都是无添加香料。(4AS)有淡淡的玫瑰香味,是我的最爱。虽然(3E)没有添加任何香料,但闻起来还不错。

第五局:质地和效果

(1V)会因为没那么“水”,所以涂起来没那么顺。

(2MK) 水水的,涂起来超方便!但可能在控制分量方面会比较困难。涂了之后,嘴唇看起来更丰满,看起来很健康,自然。但是这效果不持久,嘴唇感觉会被吸收掉。

(3E) 涂了之后,嘴唇亮亮的,很像唇密,但是有点粘粘。但是朋友曾经对我说过我的嘴唇涂完后看起来油油的,不知道是不是涂太多了。但是这款是唯一有防晒功能的。值得注意的是,每次涂这款护唇精华液都会在我的嘴唇留下白白一层的死皮,很难看。

(4AS) 质地和效果都很不错,涂完后也亮亮的。

这一局,我比较偏向(2MK)。第二是(4AS)。

第六局:滋润程度

(1V)是最滋润的,第二名,(3E) 和 (4AS)打成平手。


结论:

(4AS)赢了! 价格合理,包装漂亮,香香的,也蛮滋润。第二名是(1V)。其实(1V)和(2MK)竞争和激烈,但最后我还是选择(1V)。但如果你的嘴唇不是太干,(2MK)也是不错的选择,水水的效果真的蛮好看。
