So here are the review on the products that I have received which are :

A'bloom Mask Sheets (Watermelon, Avocado, Lemon Lime, Peach),  A'bloom BHA Blackhead Blaster and the A'bloom Meringue Puffs.

A'bloom Avo-cuddle-me (Avocado) - anti ageing
A'bloom Water-me-long (Watermelon)- moisturising
A'bloom Sparkle-me-bright (Lemon Lime)-brightening
A'bloom Ac-me-peach (Peach) - acne

The individual sheet masks are really cute and nice.  The ingredients for the sheet masks are similar except for star ingredients.  All the sheet masks contains  25g of essence for those that like to sheet mask longer.  The sheet masks are very thin but hold enough essence, soft and comfortable for 15 minutes of sheet masking.  The fit is good since it has many slits to make it easy to adjust on any face.   As for the size, it is average size of the usual sheet mask. It is not the biggest but not the smallest that I had tried since the sheet mask does have extra and is enough for my jaw.  For my acne prone skin, I prefer the Peach one since it contains peach and tea tree ingredients for my acne prone skin type.  The peach has slight subtle fragrance of cologne.  The transparent essence does hydrate and absorbs fast onto my skin and it is not sticky.

The sheet masks are really very affordable to for the price.  RM2 which is like USD0.50 so you can sheet masks every day.

The coloured highlighted is the one with ingredients in all the sheet masks

A'bloom BHA Blackhead Blaster comes in a cute stick which is easy to use actually. Just apply the stick on the face after washing the face. Then wash off the blackhead blaster with warm water.  It is gentle and remove blackhead painlessly.  However, if you have very dry skin, it is not recommended to use too often.  It has Natural BHA (White Willow Bark Extract 5,000ppm) which is suitable for oily or combination skin type.  I do like it since it does work to reduce the appearance of blackheads.  The effect last a few days so it is not really a permanent one time usage.

A'bloom  Blackhead Blaster Ingredients: Propylene Glycol, Sodium Stearate, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Alcohol, Charcoal Powder, Alba (Willow) Bark Extract (5,000ppm), Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Seed Powder, Melaleuca Alternifolia  , Glycerin, Coco-Glucoside, PEG-40 Stearate, 1,2-Hexanedial Citric Acid, Disodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanal

A'bloom Meringue Puffs (Baby Meringue Puffs x3 + Giant Meringue Puff x1).  This is very cute dessert mkeup puff which are versatile puffs to use dry or wet.  Soak in water until the puff grow in size if you plan to use it wet.  It doesn't leave streak on the skin.  Use it dry for matte look and use it wet for that glowing makeup look.  The baby meringue puff makes it easy to reach the corner of the eyes and also blend easily for detailed application.  It is high density latex free foam and pretty easy to wash.

Overall, A'bloom is a affordable range of items especially for those who just started to learn how to achieve that nice Korean makeup without breaking your banks.  Beautiful makeup actually comes from having a good skincare routine and products to help achieve it.

8 BEST KOREAN SKINCARE PRODUCTS FOR ACNE PRONE SKIN

It is ancient news that Korean skincare products had turned many non believers into cult fans with their innovative and affordable range of skincare products.

While I couldn’t afford the high end Korean brands because well … I don’t have a fat wallet but I do find gems in their more affordable range of Korean products.



Here are 8 Korean skincare products for acne prone skin that I like.

8 BEST KOREAN SKINCARE PRODUCTS FOR ACNE PRONE SKIN

8 BEST KOREAN SKINCARE PRODUCTS FOR ACNE PRONE SKIN

Here are the products that I like =)

sheet masks and snail hydrogel masks

I couldn't help but to start loving hydrogel sheet masks because those are just so nice and works fast to calm down my skin.  Another thing I like is the snail mucin in them because snail mucin just help the skin to heal itself faster and it is really important to acne prone skin XP.  As much as I hate snail crawling on my face.  ( I wonder how people can possibility let those I let those snail crawl around my face.  How if the snail poke inside the nostril?)

SKINMISO PORE BEAUTY NOSE PACK FROM KOREA

This is not a new thing because I have been trying quite a few nose pack and this is still the best.  While it didn't shrunk the pores into non-existent, it keeps the pores on the nose clean and clear. At least there is no pain or hurt the skin.  Using it is also fairly easy.  Definitely a keeper.

I'M FROM VOLCANIC MASK

I'm from is an organic Korean brand.  I do like their volcanic mask because it is so soft and has ginseng in them XP.  The products is on par with one of the famous brand for clay mask.  This helps to clean the pores without drying. The glass jar just makes it luxurious XP.

UGB Peeling Gel

I have been loving this peeling gel from UGB. It is actually under the same company as Nuganic. It contains ginseng and smell like one too.  It is a gentle peeling that is suitable for those who can't use anything strong such as AHA or BHA but needs exfoliation.  It is definitely a higher end brand with the ginseng in it =) . I got it from a counter in Malaysia.

their official website is http://www.skinanniversarymall.com/

KLAIRS SUPPLE PREPARATION FACIAL TONER

This is a hydrating toner that has fermented beta glucan that is kind to skin that is using many drying products such as AHA, BHA, tretinoin and retinol.  Acne prone skin needs some light hydration too so I find this help my skin with it and doesn't irritate the skin.  I bought this toner a few times already and they are just as good as when I got this for review purposes.  I just don't fancy that it has perfume smell in it.

C20(OST) PURE VITAMIN 21.5 ADVANCED SERUM

21.5 advanced serum is the newer version of the OST20 but the price is also double.  If only it is the same price as thee OST 20, it will be so great because it is not sticky and the list of ingredients.  It really helps to fade those red acne marks fast and even out the skin tone fast.  Just make sure to store in the fridge to avoid oxidation.  If only it does not oxidize so fast.

PERIPERA PERI TINT IN PINK JUICE

What I really from Korean products are their tints. Peripera produces the exact dupe of the famous Benetint but this is so much cheaper XP. I have been loving it since it gives a hint of colour on my lips without looking thick.  The packaging is also cute and vibrant.  Since then they came out with ink and other lip tint which are better than water lip tint =) .


Bought them from Wishtrend, Watsons and other official outlets.

Some are sponsored, some I bought it and repurchase.  However, the opinions expressed here are my own and honest as always.

3. Put on the Step 2 on the nose and leave it for 10minutes.
4. Peel off Step 2 mask and apply pore beauty silky essence.

1. Wash the nose with water and put Step1 on nose for 10minutes. If there is pain, reduce the timing.

2. After getting rid of Step1, remove the whiteheads and blackheads with cotton swabs or Skinmiso Comedo Remover.
3. Then wash the nose with water and put Step2 for 10 minutes.
4. Throw away Clear Step2 away and tap on the to absorb remaining essence.

5.  Apply a little of Step3 (pore beauty silky essence)

SKINMISO PORE BEAUTY NOSE PACK FROM KOREA

The process of the blackheads removing is really painless.  Step 1 has a peppermint smell and 'heating' feeling when applied on the skin.  As for Step 2, the minty nose mask cool down the skin and I can see the pores' constriction. The solution is a little thicker for the step1

Step 3 which is the pore beauty silky essence really helps to control the oil on the skin.  A little will do for the nose area.  The nose produce lesser oil after using it for two weeks which is good to avoid the pore get congested.

Overall, it is a good painless product that cleanses the pores at the nose really well.  The effect is more obvious and last longer than other nose pack.  I think it is even cheaper than going for facial extraction that might damage your skin and cause sensitivity.  It is really recommended for your own self care at home.

Payot Expert points noirs

Payot Expert Points Noris comes in form of a green tube.  It is actually light =).

The tube has a spiral kind of cap so that it will avoid spillage even if with travelling.

PAYOT EXPERT POINTS NOIRS

The Payot Expert Noirs is soothing and smell of botanical ingredients.  It is not overpowering.

PAYOT EXPERT POINTS NOIRS

Sorry for the photo "after 3 weeks" photos.  The camera just refuse to focus when I already trying taking just one photo for 1 hour.

The clear transparent gel absorb into my skin fast leaving a matte complexion.  It doesn't stink unless you have open wounds (popped pimples).  Do use it with moisturiser because or else it will be drying to the skin.  It makes my skin smoother and more balance.After using it for about 3 weeks, it sure does makes my pores look smaller and there is no blackheads when I am using it. =) For your information, this contains AHA so do not use it with products that contains retinol or retinoid at the same time.

I think it works great along with clay mask as my skin has lesser pores problem with the combination of skincare products.
