REVIEW ON BANISH PUMPKIN ENZYME MASQUE

When sometimes smell so good, one should feed it to my skin right?

Now you can with Banish Pumpkin enzyme masque. XD

I was actually very excited to receive this wash off mask inside my package =) . I have checking out reviews after reviews and really do wonder about this Banish Pumpkin enzyme masque which is quite a sensation in the beauty world.

As usual, I am skeptical about it and just can't wait to try it out on my face. If you are not sure about skin type, I have combination sensitive acne prone skin which makes it hard to find skincare products.

Our Pumpkin Masque may be the greatest thing made out of pumpkins since pumpkin pie. It even smells just as good! If you want to know how to get rid of acne our Pumpkin enzyme masque may be the answer and it's a customer favorite! Why?

Banish Pumpkin enzyme masque

Banish Pumpkin enzyme masque comes in a dark glass jar. The design and everything else is simple but I think it doesn't matter as long the products work on my skin.

If you like the smell of pumpkin pie, then you will for sure like this =). I am very much in love with the smell of food but of course I know this is to feed my face. Application is really smooth and easy. If you have sensitive skin like me, try to control the amount to about the tip of your little finger. Also remember to patch test because I do feel the 'hot' sensation which can turn into burning if you apply a lot. Apply about a pea size for one area.
The reason for it because of the cinnamon and nutmeg powder. These two ingredients are good for acne prone skin but it can burn a lot especially if you have highly thin skin.

Also, I would recommend to 1-2 application per week at night instead of 3 times which is more for really oily skin type. Also do not use other BHA or AHA on the day you use Banish Pumpkin enzyme masque else it can hurt or you will highly over exfoliate and have red skin afterwards. Another is moisturise your skin and don't leave it to dry after washing off the mask.

When I look into the ingredients, there are many ingredients that helps with reducing inflammation, killing acne causing bacteria, moisturise and also exfoliate the skin. I do like that the first ingredient is their star ingredients and not somewhere low in the list. Other ingredients such as Bilberry, Sugar Cane, Vitamin C, Rosemary, Ginger and Glycolic acid are some of my favourite ingredients to reduce acne.
However, do check just in case some of the ingredients are not for you.

As for me, I use it twice a week and each time, Banish Pumpkin enzyme masque helps to make my skin smooth XD. It does help to remove blackheads, shrink the the size of acne and smoother out the texture which is great. My skin looks better the next day.

Overall, I think Banish Pumpkin enzyme masque is great for people who is looking for an exfoliating mask, couldn't handle other exfoliating products in other forms(serum, toner, essence), combination or oily skin type, acne prone, like natural organic products and cruelty free products.

Product retails for
Banish Pumpkin enzyme masque 50ML, USD35
Made in USA

andLAB Xylitol Mild Sun cushion SPF50 PA+++ uses 20 natural oriental medicine, mild for skin and deep moisturising with Bio-mimetic Water, Xylitol, adenosine and niacinamide. I think the concept is interesting as oriental medicine ingredients are well received for their effectiveness and gentle on the skin.

I can't denied that having sunscreen in cushion form does make me use it more. I don't really like to use my dirty finger to apply sunscreen when I am outside. Besides, it is easier to apply sunscreen with cushion puff in the morning than trying to rub my sunscreen with my fingers.

andLAB Xylitol Mild Sun cushion SPF50 PA+++ is a mix sunscreen since it contains zinc oxide. titanium oxide as well as Avobenzone that presents in chemical sunscreen. Do check the ingredients that I have translated (sorry if some of it is wrong since I have zero ability to read Hangul).

andLAB Xylitol Mild Sun cushion SPF50 PA+++ feels cooling during the application which I do like. It goes on transparent on my skin with very faint brightening effect if you see it in natural lighting, looks matte and if you touch it with fingers, it is moisturising. It has a light tone down scent which is a little like fresh wash clothes.

It claims to be sebum controlling and doesn't stick to the phone screen...only for the first 2 hours or maybe a few hours if you use a moisturiser that works with this sunscreen. I was using the emulsion and living in a super hot country and with humidity over 90%, it is good that it just doesn't become an oil mess by the end of 8hours. It doesn't clog my skin or cause redness.

It is a dermatologist brand and heard that products are made in the same lab as Dr.Jart XD so I guess if you like Dr.Jart products then you could have a look into this brand.

Overall, andLAB Xylitol Mild Sun cushion SPF50 PA+++ is a convenient dermatologist sunscreen with oriental medicinal ingredients which is an interesting concept and good for someone looking for a no white cast sunscreen.

REVIEW ON KIKU MASAMUNE JAPANESE SAKE BREWING SKIN CARE LOTION(HIGH MOIST)

Hi Beauties,

Kiku masamune Japanese Sake Brewing Skin care Lotion(high moist) has been a blooming rave in the Asian beauty community. There are reasons for this sudden popularity about this Japanese skincare products considering many beauty products out there.

So, here is a review on the Kiku masamune Japanese Sake Brewing Skin care Lotion(high moist) which I have been using and trying for more than a month.

I actually reviewed Kiku masamune Japanese Sake brewing skin care emulsion so do check the post out for more information.

Kiku masamune Japanese Sake Brewing Skin care Lotion(high moist)

Kiku masamune Japanese Sake Brewing Skin care Lotion(high moist) is hydrating toner that comes in a pink jumbo size 500ml plastic pump bottle.

Please do check up the list of ingredients in the Kiku masamune Japanese Sake Brewing Skin care Lotion(high moist). The placenta extract is from horse so it is from animal. I have actually provided the details in my Instagram if interested to view it.

There is high moist version contains moisturising ingredients such as arginine, rice ferment filtrate (sake),castor oil, soybean protein, ceramide 3, Ceramide 6 II and Glutamic Acid in it. It doesn't contain alcohol in it.

Personally, like others said I dislike the pump which seems to be faulty or something. The precious Kiku masamune Japanese Sake Brewing Skin care Lotion(high moist) just came gushing out all over if I do not 'cup' my hand over the pump. So, most people decant it into another bottle.

Kiku masamune Japanese Sake Brewing Skin care Lotion(high moist) is a hydrating toner that works well for any skin type under another moisturiser and won't pile. It absorbs really fast, watery and doesn't leave any stickiness. It is great as mist, with sheet masks and as body lotion too if you do not much time to hydrate the skin.

I would say that Kiku masamune Japanese Sake Brewing Skin care Lotion works well for people that finds fermented products work well for them. However, it is not for someone who deals with fungal acne since this contains yeast. Still, if you only find about two or three whiteheads on the acne where you normally breakouts when using this lotion, then it is normal since the yeast in the lotion might be trying to adapt with your skin.

As for the smells, some people think it smells of bubblegum while some think of the smells as bananas, bubblegum or sake. Some loves the smell and some dislike it but bear with because the smells does disappeared once it dries down.

Kiku masamune Japanese Sake Brewing Skin care Lotion comes in a huge bottle which is the reason for the popularity and the hydration that it provides throughout the winter seasons along with the ceramide that it has that helps with the skin repairing process.

Overall, I do like Kiku masamune Japanese Sake Brewing Skin care Lotion for the versatility and the low cost per bottle which is really great. I would be better if the company could substitute it with something else than animal placenta or remove it from the product.

*contains horse placenta(a reader said no horse is harm for the placenta)
ph:5-6

Product retails for
Kiku masamune Japanese Sake Brewing Skin care Lotion(high moist) 500ml, RM49.90. available in Aeon Welness Midvalley or in Sunway Pyramid, Sasa or Amazon.

REVIEW ON DR. LEWINN'S ESSENTIALS 4-FUSION CLEANSING OIL

Hi gorgeous,

Korean trend suggests using oil cleanser to actually clean the skin the better and remove the makeup products better compare to just using foam cleanser. While I am not really into all the double cleansing because most oil cleanser just left me with those oil residue which I don’t really like, this oil cleanser I am going to talk about isn’t the same.

In fact, I thought that Dr.Lewinn's Essentials 4 Fusion Cleansing oil is probably just going to be the typical oil cleanser but then after using for more than a month, this seriously justify why I do like it.

Dr.Lewinn's Essentials 4 Fusion Cleansing oil is by the private formulations of Dr. Laurence LeWinn, a world-renown plastic surgeon to the Hollywood stars and founded in 1989 based on Dr. Lewinn’s is the best-selling premium skincare brand in Australian pharmacies, it was voted the No.1 Australian premium skincare brand for 11 years running by the Michael Edwards Cosmetic & Perfume Survey.
