REVIEW ON AHC PREMIUM HYDRA SOOTHER CELLULOSE MASK

Hi beautiful,

Sheet mask is the gateaway to many wonderful Asian skincare products💓.

It is also one of my spa relaxing moment that I do at home because with the current 'financial literary' movement, spending USD200 for facial every month just seems ridiculous to me. After all, I like doing sheet mask that makes me feel so pampered and spoilt at home.

Here is a review on AHC Premium Hydra Soother Cellulose Mask. AHC is a Korean aesthetic skincare brand scientifically formulated for dewy skin. I heard so much rave about their eye cream from beauty enthusiast.

AHC Premium Hydra Soother Cellulose Mask
These ultra-soft sheet masks are the perfect way to infuse the skin with a blend of hydrating and nourishing ingredients. Each sheet mask is individually soaked with a full bottle of soothing and energising ingredients for long-lasting hydration.

These include Vitamin B5, which is known to be moisturising and for its softening effects. Hyaluronic acid, another hydrating hero, is perfect for dull skin as it retains up to 1000 times its weight in water, leaving skin looking plump and smooth. Lastly, a patented protecting ingredient helps to soothe stressed skin. Each soft, cellulose sheet mask hugs the facial contours like a second skin, meaning every ingredient absorbs easily and quickly.

Usage:
1. After cleansing, prime skin with toner.
2. Open package and smooth the mask tightly onto the face, adjusting to fit the facial features.
3. After 10 to 20 minutes, remove the mask, and lightly dab until the remaining ampoule is absorbed.

Effect: Anti wrinkle, Hydrating, Soothing

Packaging: AHC Premium Hydra Soother Cellulose Mask comes in a box of 5individual sheet mask inside. Each masks contains 27ml of essence which is a lot for a sheet mask.

What is unique about this cellulose mask is there a 'thermometer' symbol at the back. You will need to put it inside the fridge. The thermometer will turn from white into greenish(ready to use).

Ingredients:

Ingredients:
Purified water, sodium hyaluronate, hydrolized collagen, linum usitatissimum seed extract, saccharum extract, chondrus crispus extract, althaea rosea root extract, panax ginseng root extract, centaurea cyanus flower water, oryza sativa lipids, seawater, adansonia digitata fruit extract, centella asiatica extract, ginkgo biloba leaf extract, origanum vulgare leaf extract, salix alba bark extract, chamaecyparis obtusa leaf extract, portulaca oleracea extract, scutellaria baicalensis root extract, lactobacillus/soybean ferment extract filtrate, cinnamomum cassia bark extract, glycerin, maltitol, sorbitol, butylene glycol, diglycerin, betaine, panthenol, hydroxyacetophenone, tromethamine, PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil, hydroxyethyl urea, caffeine, caprylyl glycol, dimethicone, ethylhexylglycerin, 1,2-hexanediol, hydrogenated lecithin, allantoin, ceramide NP, denatured alcohol, carbomer, xanthan gum, disodium DTA, fragrance (Parfum), ethyl hexanediol, phenoxyethanol, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate.

It is a really hydrating mask with all the ceramide, hyaluronic acid and plant ingredients (centella asiatica, linseed and Alcea rosea).

I do like the ginseng ingredient which is a luxurious ingredient. There are some calming skin ingredients for acne prone skin such as the BHA, urea and caffeine.

It is paraben free, sulfate free, silicone free, alcohol free, Eu allergen free. one fungal acne triggered which almost at the end of the list (PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil ).

Review: The sheet mask fit really well with slits and it is big enough to cover my jaw. The celluse mask is soft, silky and gauze type of materials. It is filled with a lot of viscos essence.

It has some sort of light floral scent. It does help to hydrate my skin and calm it down. Of course with sheet mask, the effect last at most two days and need continous usage .

Overall, AHC Premium Hydra Soother Cellulose Mask is a nice sheet mask for calming the skin.

REVIEW ON HIMALAYA BRAHMI BACOPA

Hi beautiful people,

Health has become part of beauty and more people put the importance of keeping themselves healthy as part of self care along with skincare products that become really popular worldwide now.

Himalaya Pure herbs made health products and I have also been using their Neem range since years ago HERE and HERE

Recently, I got this from a giveaway so here is a review on Himalaya Pure Herbs Brahmi Bacopa .

Himalaya Pure Herbs Brahmi Bacopa

Packaging: Simple plastic bottle with inside seal to ensure the safety of the products and freshness. The transparent capsules contains the herbs.

Ingredients talk: There is only Himalaya Pure Herbs Brahmi Bacopa inside. It is vegan.

Review: I am not sure about it having any effect on my skin since it just look the same. I do feel I can concentrate better on my work when I was having it though. The effect isn't strong but better. I don't dare to take out the capsules because I don't want to try the real natural taste of it. 😂

Overall: Do consult your doctor first before buying health products.

REVIEW ON ROHTO MENTHOLATUM MELTY LIP BALM SPF 25PA+++

Hi beautiful people,

I think food has invaded the skincare world now. The blurring between food and my skincare products is also beginning to get more apparent. I love food and matcha has begun to come for even lip balm now.

Here is the review for Rotho Mentholatum melty matcha lip balm in rich honey and Rotho Mentholatum Melty Cream Lip in Matcha Green Tea.

Rotho Mentholatum Melty Cream Lip in Matcha Green Tea

Rotho Mentholatum Melty Cream Lip in Rich Honey

Mentholatum Melty Cream Lip in Rich Honey

Packaging: Everything is written in Japanese and there is no expired except the batch code. The packaging matches the type of flavour it has. So honey has a honey photo.

Ingredients: Check it out for potential allergens.

Ingredients:
Squalane, Vaseline, Paraffin, Mineral Oil, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Diisostearyl Malate, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Dipentaerythrityl Hexahydroxystearate/Hexastearate/Hexarosinate, Microcrystalline Wax, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Polyglyceryl-2 Diisostearate, Phytosteryl Macadamiate, Ceramide 3, Ceramide 2, Ceramide 6 II, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Epigallocatechin Gallate, Honey, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Jojoba Seed Oil, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, DPG, VP/Eicosene Copolymer, Polyglyceryl-4 Oleate, Cholesterol, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Synthetic Wax, Iron Oxides, Water, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Sterols, Isopropyl Titanium Triisostearate, BG, Royal Jelly Extract, Ultramarines, CI 19140, Fragrance

It is said to use the Moist bank technology to keep the lips moist. If you get it from Japan then there is no expiry date or English details printed on it. The ingredients are all meant to keep the lips hydrated. Squalane and petroleum are the top ingredients which are occlusive and emollient. There are many ingredients including the ceramide which is to prevent dryness.

I got the rich honey and matcha. Both has SPF 25 PA+++ which is good to protect lips. The rich honey does smell just like honey that is usual in honey products. It is not of manuka honey. The matcha was sold out everywhere and I had to order it online. It really smells just like matcha latte which is why the popularity blow up in the first place. There are some other scent such as butter cookies I think but I didn’t get it.

Review: They really do smells just like the food item. It does not taste like food else I think it will be a torture to keep licking my lips in my dream or dream about food all day.

The tube is easy for application and easy to use.

As for the duration of application, the effect lasts a day for me with my lips that are always just dry like Sahara. There aren’t many lip products that works for me. I do always need to apply this lip balm else it will go back to square one for me. If I want to compare it with the Korean brand L, then this one works better for me since I don’t like product in a jar and that L brand is too thick for me.

Overall: I think it is a nice lip balm to carry around and having matcha latte scent on my lips in the morning is a good way to start the day. Among the two flavours I really prefer the matcha one.
