Review: Ellips Hair capsules

Bought this hair capsules for my grad trip some time ago. Like the idea that its very portable and travel friendly.

6 capsules for $1.95 is not exactly cheap though. Available at Watsons locally. Came in a few colors, all for different effect. Cant remember the red one is for what though oops.

Result:

I HATE the SCENT!! it smells so chemical and overwhelming.

Its very thick gel texture, hair will clump together when applied too much. Dont really smooth frizzy hair too. I find it best when applied to hair thats semi dry.

Verdict: Not worth the price and I really hate the scent!

Review: Hisamitsu Lifecella Eye Mask

Bought this eye mask when I went HK a few months back. Cant really remember the price but a pair doesnt cost more than $2. Available at Sasa.com but not at the local sasa outlets.

Result:

Its sheet type eye mask, mask is soaked with lotsa essence.

Dont really smell anything upon application as well.

Eyes look hydrated, fresh and slightly brighter after usage. No bumps etc the next day.

Verdict: 8/10

Not too bad, but would prefer something that can brighten up my eyes.

Review: Herbacin Wuta Kamille + Glyzerin Hand Cream

Was introducing this brand Herbacin in my blog some time back after seeing some great reviews at Urcosme.

I bought the 20ml tube to try 1st and now, Im back with the review!

Herbacin can be found at Watsons. Details are found in my previous post.

Result:

There is added fragrance and I wasnt too used to the scent in the beginning. But after using it daily, I got used to it. It can be rather overwhelming at first, towards the powdery floral scent I feel.

The texture is like thick gel rather than cream. After application, it can be absorbed almost immediately, leaving no sticky feeling at all! I dono how to describe the feeling, but its just like you could feel a layer on your hands but not sticky at all. Hands felt moisturised after usage, can last 2 hand washes.

Verdict: 9/10

I would prefer something that smells better haha. But this hand cream really kept my dry hands moisturised, even in air-con room! Very affordable too.

Review: Fancl White Body Milk

Have been hoping to whiten my body all along so that the color difference between my face & body become smaller. Therefore, I bought Fancl white body milk when I was in tokyo back in May.

It was slightly cheaper in Tokyo, retailing for 1260Yen, I managed to get it at a further 10% discount cos there was some kind of a promotion going on then. Its retailing at $22 for a bottle of 150ml here in sg.

Result:

As usual, no fragrance detected for fancl products. But i do think it smells like one of my facial skincare. Scent wasnt strong anyway.

Lotion was rather light & watery, but takes a while to be fully absorbed. After application, skin felt smooth and soft.

Once opened, lotion has to be finished within 2 months. I used it diligently for the past 1.5mths, then I became lazy due to work. But i still managed to use up to 85%. So I think its really possible to finish a bottle within 2 months. I applied it on both hands, and upper thighs & feet (the area which is exposed when I wear my covered shoes).

Now, so hows the whitening result? Yes, it worked for me!! I'm very sure cos I saw the difference on both my feet. My feet became darker than my toes when I went under the sun a 3 months back. Then after applying the lotion for 1 mth, I realised it whiten them a little, even out the tone too. I believe with continuous usage, my feet will be back to my origina color heh.

Verdict: 10/10

My main motive of buying it is to whiten, since product does its job, what more can i expect? Well, i do hope it can be slightly cheaper though haha

Review: Nature Republic Collagen Dream

Received the sample when I bought the hair lotion and body lotion from nature republic some time ago.

Though samples are mini bottles, but they lasted at least 10 times usage! I dint use it on my face again (I am very particular about stuff being applied on my face lol), i applied them on my neck.

Collagen Dream 80 Skin Booster contains highly concentrated water soluble marine-collagen that enhances higher level of collagen in skin. It contains 80% of marine-collagen and extract of Northern Brazil Acai Berry, which is also known as an effective antioxidant.

These highly effective ingredients in Collagen Dream provide moisture and elasticity to skin and make Collagen Dream an effective anti-aging skin care.

Result:

I tried both the booster ( toner) & emlusion (moisturiser) together.

They smell really nice!! I love the scent seriously. Both products smell the same by the way.

The booster is watery gel like texture. Was absorbed by my neck within seconds! Love it. Skin felt smooth after application.

The emulsion is very light as well. Kept my neck moisturised though im not sure if it helps in anti-aging. After usage, neck felt smooth and hydrated.

Verdict: 8.5/10

Love the scent and light texture!

Review: Beauty Talk Idebenone Hydrating Mask

Bought this mask when I saw it on offer at Sasa, was selling for $1.95/pc. There are 3 flavors if im not wrong, Q10, whitening etc. I chose the hydrating one. If im not wrong, this brand is from taiwan.

Result:

I dont like the scent of this mask, smelled very chemical for some reason. Glad it was not too overwhelming when I applied mask.

Mask is rather big for my face. Comes with eye flaps.

Mask is rather wet. Applied it after exfoliation but still, essence dont seem to absorb well. No significant brightening effect. Face just felt hydrated but was still oily next morning.

Verdict: 6/10

A so-so hydration mask I thought.

Review: Kose Softymo Super Eye Make Off

I got to know this eye remover from a beauty book by 伊能静。haha. I bought it when i saw it in China a few years back. Then I read about it at Cosme and realised it was very popular and was voted no1 for many years. Again, it ended up on my wishlist when I was in tokyo.

It came in 2 sizes,120ml and 230ml. i bought the 120ml, cost me less than $10, cant really remember the price. It available at adambeauty.

This remover does not contain alcohol, fragrance and coloring.

Result:

The texture is very similar to emulsion, or gel like texture. Very comfy on the eyes. I cant detect any scent at all.

I wet my cotton with quite a bit of the remover and it removes my mascara (fiberwig), eye liner (ettusais) & eye shadow (anna sui & kanebo) well. Though sometimes it may need a few swipes. Its really gentle, does not sting my sensitive eyes at all! Wont leave oily film or whatsoever.

Verdict: 9/10

I really love it! its gentle but I do hope the cleansing powder can be slightly higher.
