REVIEW ON 23 YEARS OLD ROSE GOLD 24 MASK

Hi beautiful,

23 Years Old rose gold 24 mask is the perfect sheet mask for Halloween. It has that serial killer vibe that make your skin glowing after that too. Halloween is usually where people detroyed their skin by too much makeup application so why not have a change of heart with this serial killer sheet mask?

The reason I am saying that is because it has no opening for your mouth so that you cannot eat or drink. I mean you can take out a scissor and cut the sheet mask later which make it even scarier to your other friends at Halloween trick or treat.

Anyway, 23 Years Old is a Korean brand which is really good for their wonderful masks and is one of the popular Korean mask.

23 Years Old rose gold 24 mask

23 Years Old rose gold 24 mask

Awaken your skin with the Rose Gold 24 Mask. Designed with the custom full-sheet, the Rose Gold 24 Mask’s unique design provides the perfect size meant to suit everyone, and it covers the entire face and the lips for an all-around care in just 10 minutes. Nourishing with the Rose Gold 24 complex, its gentle yet effective formula intensely hydrates while rejuvenating and soothing the skin.

Ingredients
Water, Glycerin, Dipropylene Glycol, Rosa Centifolia Flower Water, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Butylene Glycol, Centella Asiatica Extract, Paeonia Suffruticosa Root Extract, Polysorbate 60, 1,2-Hexanediol, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Glyceryl Stearate, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Rosa Canina Fruit Oil, Glyceryl Caprylate, Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate, Carbomer, Ethylhexylglycerin, Potassium Hydroxide, Sodium Polyacrylate, Gardenia Florida Fruit Extract, Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Rose Flower Oil, Gold, Disodium EDTA

How to Use:
After cleanse and dry your face use the mask, and then left it for around 10-20 minutes then after you remove it tap your face to help more absorption

23 Years Old rose gold 24 mask comes in a single or a box. It has the foil kind of luxury feeling to it. I do like the design. There is English on the box and Hangul(Korean) is written on the foil packaging.

Inside, the sheet mask is folded. The sheet mask is really lush, soft and thick. You can also pull the sheet mask without tearing it because of the nice plush soft material. The size is also huge enough to customise according to your face shape. Finally a sheet mask that can finally fit my nose area. The eye area is also the nice size for my eyes area.

The essence is in form of milky watery liquid which is just suitable for dry skin type. However, if you have natural oily skin not matter what you do (just your genetic to be oily) then this rose one is not suitable for you.

It is Paraben-Free, Sulfate-Free, Alcohol-Free, Silicone-Free and EU Allergen-Free

As for the ingredients, it has natural rose water (20,000ppm or 2%).

For plant ingredients there are Centella Asiatica, Peony, Chamomile, Rosehip oil, Gardenia, Geranium, Tea tree Leaf. MY favourite ingredients is the promotes healing centella asiatica and acne fighting tea tree.

Glyceryl Stearate can block pores if you have super oily skin.

If you have fungal acne you probably need to becareful since it has Polysorbate 60 which can trigger fungal acne.

There is also the fancy gold in this sheet mask 😀 .

23 Years Old rose gold 24 mask feels really good on my face. The sheet mask wear time is actually almost 1hour because the mask holds the essence really well and doesn't dry fast. After 1 hour I use the mask on one of my leg and the skin with the mask feels really moisturised. It has light rose water scent. The sheet mask do brighten my skin, hydrate and moisturise my skin well even for the next day. It is not sticky provided that I do not touch my face after sheet masking. Honestly, I just go to bed after sheet mask since it moisturise my face enough already. Adding anything a moisturiser after that can be too heavy for my combination skin.

Overall, 23 Years Old rose gold 24 mask is a good lush good quality sheet mask for special occassion which is really value for money. It is good for dry or normal skin type.

REVIEW ON TRILOGY VITAMIN C BOOSTER TREATMENT

Hi beautiful,

Interested in organic natural brand of Vitamin C from New Zealand? Here is a review on the
Trilogy Vitamin C Booster Treatment which is an interesting bottle of vitamin C.

It is a organic natural vitamin C that is hydrating and gentle to any skin type. Vitamin C is antioxidant that is popular with anti aging and reducing acne red scars as well as getting rid of pigmentation. It helps the skin to build collagen which increase cell turnover which means brighter and more beautiful skin without the side effect of some other products for anti aging. I like vitamin C since it is safe even for pregnant mothers. Vitamin C has a lot of proven research that it is effective which is why it is one of recommended anti aging products for any age. Especially with our current pollution, using vitamin C is useful to reduce damage done to your skin.

Personally, I enjoy using vitamin and now Trilogy which offers organic products also came out with their vitamin C.

REVIEW ON PIUM SMART DIFFUSER

Hi beautiful,

Pium Smart Diffuser Designed For Everyday Mood

With the stress level of living in a fast face life, using aromatherapy in our home such as candles and water diffuser is a common practice to help keep our mental health in check. Here comes this innovative Korean Pium Smart Diffuser. This elegant design will also add as additional aesthetic values to your room design.

What is also special about this Pium Smart Diffuser is it doesn’t create hot air . You can also avoid the danger of accidentally burning down the house while you are sleeping as with traditional candles. Also it doesn’t need water as medium to diffuse the fragrances which avoid molding and the need to keep on adding water.

Pium Smart Diffuser

You need to get a suitable head for this.

Pium Smart Diffuser

Pium Smart Diffuser

Pium allows people to experience a variety of mood enhancing scents through the day.

Usage Steps:

1. Open up the fragrance capsules. (night, afternoon, morning)

2. Then screw the capsule caps properly to avoid leaking.

3. Open up the top of the Pium diffuser.

4. Look into the ‘holes’ to make sure the capsule caps pattern is the correct one before inserting it inside. Make sure the capsule cap is at the bottom before inserting.

5. Close the top cover properly.

6. Switch on the electricity and use the Pium apps on your phone.

There will LED light. The led colours informs you about the active capsule and the intensity.

White blink-wifi disconnect

White-ready

Colour blink-detecting capsules

Colour-diffusing (Night-Purple light, Afternoon-Green light, Morning-light blue light)

Pium apps allows you to control the intensity of the scent you want (bold, moderate, mild) which scent you want(morning, afternoon or night) and also inform you when new capsules are necessary. There are also fragrance information and schedule settings on the Pium apps. It is also very quiet which is 40db which the sound in a quiet library.

There are also three future home fragrances which are:

Morning (Citrus and Floral): Lemon, Mint, Ylang-ylang, musk, and sandalwood.

Afternoon (Aromatic and Herbal): Lemon, Green Leaf, Eucalyptus, Rosemary, and Musk

Night (Herbal and Floral): Mint, Lavender, Jasmin, Rose, White musk and Patchouli

Specifications:

Coverage: 540 ft2 (50m2)

Dimension: 186mmH x ø82mm

Weight: 430g (including capsules )

Power supply: 100-220V 50/60Hz

Connection: Bluetooth 4.2(BLE), WIFI 802.11 b/g/n

Material: Plastic

Currently it is available now on iOS. Android apps will be available in October too.

Saw that voice command with Alexa and google is in progress too.

Pium Smart Diffuser comes in a nice simple elegant packaging. The Pium diffuser, capsule caps, powder adapter and user guide. Each device needs 3 fragrance capsules. (Purchased separately)

I do like that the user guide is in English with pictures for instructions. The design is really minimalist and elegant too. You can connect it with Bluetooth and using the Pium apps which is really easy to use.

Using different fragrance for different time of the day is a good idea with mood enhancing LED lights. The colours show which scent is on. I especially like the night scent which smells like soothing lavender to me. The morning scent smells like someone coming out from shower with sharp citrus cologne scent to me. The afternoon scent has grassy woody scent for me. The device is very quiet so that is really a good point since I don’t like noisy thing.

I don’t think there is any similar products in my country since people are using candles or essential oil with burner which can be dangerous if you have small kids or is clumsy like me. This device give me a peace of mind knowing that I won’t burn my house down when I am sleeping or am in the bathroom for 30minutes.

In my personal opinion, I think it would be wonderful if there is instruction on step by step instruction. From how to put the fragrance capsules into capsule caps and then into the disfusser. A video on the website showing the steps makes it easy. I prefer to just watch a video showing how to properly use a product than figuring out from reading the paper.

The powder adapter is not universal so it is a bit troublesome to find an adapter for the wall plug in. I think it would be really great if there is rechargeable type of battery with this diffuser.

It would also be really wonderful if there are more than the 3 current choices of scent available. Scent to get rid of mosquitoes and houseflies, to relief symptom of blocked nose, relief womanly menstrual pain would be among all the great scents.

I do think that creating the hype in the social media can be one of the great way to actually market products now.

Overall, Pium Smart Diffuser is a really cool smart innovation of future home fragrance.

REVIEW ON HYGGEE ALL IN ONE TIGHTENING AND FIRMING MASK

Hi beautiful,

All You Need Is Less
HYGGEE

HYGGEE is the Korean all in one skincare brand that goes for ‘less’ rather than ‘more’. It is simply because they understand that not everyone is into the 20 skincare products in one skincare routine especially for the one leading a busy life but still want beautiful healthy skin.

Here is a review on Hyggee All In One Tightening and Firming Mask

There are three types of sheet masks from Hyggee- wrinkle care, whitening, tightening and firming.

Hyggee All-In-One Tightening and Firming Mask

Hyggee All In One Tightening and Firming Mask

Hyggee All-In-One Tightening and Firming Mask

Ingredients:
Water, Glycerin, Betula Platyphylla Japonica Juice, Methylpropanediol, Niacinamide, Centella Asiatica Extract, Polygonum Cuspidatum Root Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Althaea Rosea Flower Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Saccharomyces/Grape Ferment Extract, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Camellia Japonica Flower Extract, Xylitol, Lupinus Albus Seed Extract, Lactobacillus Ferment, Lactococcus Ferment Lysate, Bifida Ferment Lysate, Streptococcus Thermophilus Ferment, Panthenol, Butylene Glycol, Hydroxyacetophenone, Dimethicone, Tromethamine, Allantoin, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate, Caprylyl Glycol, Adenosine, 1,2-Hexanediol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate, Glyceryl Caprylate, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Xylitylglucoside, Anhydroxylitol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Sorbitan Laurate, Phospholipids, Ceramide NP, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester, Cholesterol, Tocopherol, Arginine, Phytosterols, Carbomer, Caffeine, Xanthan Gum, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol

Hyggee All-In-One Tightening and Firming Mask has a simplistic design. How the sheet mask look is printed on the packet itself. The sheet mask is for elasticity of the skin, soothing, hydrating and for pore care.

As for the ingredients, there are many hydrating ingredients, plant ingredients, ceramide, fermented ingredients, soothing ingredients and lipids. Depending on your skin those with fungal acne might not take fermented ingredients well. However, if you do not have problem with fermented ingredients, this sheet mask does contain amount of ingredients good for instant hydrating, soothing effect and lifting effect for a special wedding photoshoot.

It has the ear loops to pull it up to the ears for that extra lifting effect and neck patch so make sure you are not eating or talking during the sheet mask as it would defeat the purpose of this sheet mask. It has good fit for me with slits at the eyes area and since the materials stretchable it is comfortable .
It looks bigger on my face but it is not for other people. I put the 6inch ruler in the photo so you can guess how big it actually is.

The tencel elastic material is made from eucalyptus tree which has soft silky thick texture. It does have those embossed knit pattern which increase the ability to absorb essence. The sheet mask adheres and does feel comfortable on my face. The amount of essence inside the sheet mask is 45g but it is already soaked up by the sheet mask. The clear watery essence with slight viscosity has a light grassy scent to it.

I was able to wear it for 45minutes. It does helps to deal with puffiness in the morning, firmer skin, hydrating and slight brightening. Like any other mask, this mask is best to wear it at night.

Overall, Hyggee All In One Tightening and Firming Mask is a sheet mask for a firmer skin, treat puffiness, dryness and hydrate the skin . It is great to carry this on in flight since it covers all the other steps except cleanser.

REVIEW ON ELIZAVECCA AQUA HYALURONIC ACID WATER DROP CREAM

Hi beautiful,

Korean moisturiser that uses Hyaluronic acid and red ginseng offers moisturising and hydrating, Elizavecca Aqua Hyaluronic Acid Water Drop Cream for review today.

If you are looking for a moisturiser that offers occlusive and humectant then this a face moisturiser that offers that.
Humectant retain moisture and attract moisture. Occlusive physically prevent water loss from the skin.

If you live in dry and cold place, look for a moisturiser with occlusive and humectant properties since a good moisturiser will protect your skin.

Elizavecca Aqua Hyaluronic Acid Water Drop Cream

Elizavecca Aqua Hyaluronic Acid Water Drop Cream
How to use it: Apply a lot of water to a massage so that it drops well and absorbed

Active Ingredients: Niacinamide, Adenosine

Ingredients: Water, Cyclopentasiloxane, Cyclohexasilaxane, Glycerin, Niacinamide, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Hyaluronate (10,000ppm), Fragrance 1,2-Hexanediol, Cetyl PEG / PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, Red Ginseng Extract, Glycine, Soja Seed Extract, Milk Protein Extract, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Seed Extract Citrus Lemon (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract. Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Ethylhexylglycerin. Adenosine, Tocopheryl Acetate

Cautions Warnings
1.When using or after using the side effects such as dlinical stigmata, swelling or itching appear on skin by direct sunlight, consult a doctor. Do not use on open wounds, eczema or dermatitis.
3. Storage and Handling Pre-cautions Keep out of reach of children.
2) Store at room temperature and direct sunlight

Elizavecca Aqua Hyaluronic Acid Water Drop Cream has a really nice packaging. Even the jar is wrapped up with very pretty design on the jar. The jar is actually wrapped with plastic to prevent tampering. Even the box is just so beautiful with English written ingredients on it.

As for the ingredients, it has water, silicone and glycerin which acts as water binder and trap water on the skin to prevent lost of water. The Sodium Hyaluronate (10,000ppm) is one of the gentle hyaluronic acid which on topical application retains skin moisture which is beneficial for dry skin type to resist fine lines. Since hyaluronic acid is presented in this cream moisturiser, it is good since you do not have to worry about applying another products on top. Hyaluronic acid can pull moisturise from your skin if your surrounding does not have enough moisture.

Interesting ingredients are the Red Ginseng and green tea. There are moisturising ingredients such as Milk Protein, Sweet Almond, Aloe, Adenosine and vitamin E. Lemon is probably for the pH.

I am not sure what kind of fragrance this moisturiser has. I usually prefer unscented or no synthetic added fragrance nowadays.

It is a cream moisturiser that turns into water drops upon application on the skin. It is suitable for any skin type especially for dry skin or during winter. The light cream absorbs onto the skin which doesn't leave any residue. I do like the matte smooth effect on my skin. It does have fragrance which I just think should be removed out if that is possible.

The moisture does last the whole day and doesn't clog my skin. The scent is similar to light citrusy fresh body products. I do find it pretty good for those that are looking into moisturiser that contains high hyaluronic acid in skincare products.

Overall, Elizavecca Aqua Hyaluronic Acid Water Drop Cream is a nice light moisturiser for dry skin type and for people without problems with the fragrance or other ingredients.
