REVIEW ON LADY GINES MASKS

Lady Gines A Cinderella Transforming (Advanced Anti-Acne)

Lady Gines A Cinderella Transforming (Advanced Anti-Acne)

Lady Gines Black Swan Becomes White (Advanced Whitening) Mask

Lady Gines Black Swan Becomes White (Advanced Whitening) Mask

The mask contain the oil film to protect the thin mask

see how silly i look with sheet mask on my face.i cut it because it is really huge XP

The packet is so cute with Princess picture of those fairy tales story on it.

The mask is really thin so one have to be careful when taking it out.  There is a lot of extra essence inside but it is good since this mask doesn't drip.  It made my face felt refresh.  The mask is stretchable but the only thing I dislike is the mask is way too big for my face.  I have a small face so that is why there is always extras.  The hole of the eyes is also way too big considering my eyes are small.  I don't really like the fit but the effect of mask are really good.

The Lady Gines A Cinderella Transforming (Advanced Anti-Acne) contains high niaminicide and it calm my skin much like how clindamycin would do on my skin.  I think it is good for those acne prone skin and it is not drying on the skin.

Lady Gines Black Swan Becomes White (Advanced Whitening) Mask contains high hyaluronic acid and olive oil so it is moisturising and brightening at the same time.  It also contain niaminicide but the quantity is lower than Lady Gines A Cinderella Transforming to calm the skin.  My face redden is reduce, brighter and also moisturise after using this.=)

If you like mask from Taiwan, I am sure you would like this too =).  Here is the direct link to the Lady Gines mask .

REVIEW ON THE FACE SHOP BABY FACE WASH OFF MASK PORE CARE

I love to use mask especially the one for pore care, trouble care and clearing.

So, here is the 5ml sample.  The sample last me about 2 application since one only need to apply a little.  I am suppose to just massage this on my face and wash it off.  I don't have to leave this on the face or it can be very drying since clay mask are known for sucking up all those oil on the face.  So, if you have dry skin, better don't leave this mask on the face.

The mask is soft and greenish in colour.
It find it easy to apply the clay mask on the face.  Application was smooth and the mask did make the skin soft to the touch.  It was also easy to wash it off and it doesn't stain the towel.  The clay mask did smell like talc but nothing flowery or fancy.

So, overall I think I would buy this product again since the clay mask make my skin soft to the touch. =)


No sure how much it cost.

REVIEW ON OCTOBER WONDERBOX 2013

Since my birthday is coming soon next month, I just decided to get myself a box and it is Wonderbox. Sorry, I just did it on a whim and not even thinking about it. I know many would go for Bag of Love. Let just say I never get Wonderbox before and so decided to get it.

It comes in bubble wrap

I know many complained about the unequal the amount of products. So according to them, they follow the profile so am sure on this. However, if plus the price of products, I think it is still more than RM 45 for the box and I don’t think anyone would like receiving the same Dermedex and Loreal Liese again in this box.

Since this is the first time I receive the box, I don’t received what others said as 'repeated' products.  The box is simple and lucky the ribbon is pink in colour as I dislike black and white ribbon actually.



Bio Essence Nourishing Deep Cleanser with Royal Jelly & ATP 30g

Bio Essence Radiant Youth Essence With ATP & Royal Jelly 5ml

Bio Essence Face Lifting Cream with Royal Jelly & ATP 10g


I tried this long time ago and I still can’t remember the effect since I stop after some time.




Dermedex BIO'TOX CLEANSER 10g

Dermedex REFINING CREAM 2 5g

I read some blog raving about this and some said that it is unsuitable for acne prone, combination and sensitive skin like mine. I think it is more suitable for those oily acne prone skins rather than my type.  However, will try it and see if it works better than T3 Mycin.



Neesya Overnight Radiance Kit

Lumi°™ Brightening Enzymatic Refiner (3ml)

Illuminating Essence (3ml)

Brightening Overnight Mask (3 ml)



It does help in brightening but one need to use few times before seeing the effect. The brightening overnight mask already dried up before I can use it so nevermind.  This is a Malaysian brand and the prices are quite affordable.



L'oreal Professionnel Liss Ultime Shampoo 100ml

L'oreal Professionnel Liss Ultime Masque 75ml


The shampoo does smell nice and clean my hair making it soft but I only use once a week since my hair is the oily type and it get greasy real fast if I use it everyday.



RA8 Renewal Skin Crème 5g(my guess looking at that jar)

Not much is said about this product and the effects.  Read somewhere that is made from some seaweed.  Wow, it sure sound like La Mer.




Overall, this box is quite good for first time since it contains many products for them to try it out. There is mixture of products around.  Just that that there isn't many high class brand inside and I am sure most would expect that with that amount of price.






Here is the list of price in full size

Bio Essence Nourishing Deep Cleanser with Royal Jelly & ATP RM26.90

Bio Essence Radiant Youth Essence With ATP & Royal Jelly RM95.90

Bio Essence Face Lifting Cream with Royal Jelly & ATP RM115.90

Dermedex BIO'TOX CLEANSER RM120.00

Dermedex REFINING CREAM 2 RM165.00

Neesya Overnight Radiance Kit RM173.00

L'oreal Professionnel Liss Ultime Shampoo RM50.00

L'oreal Professionnel Liss Ultime Masque RM67.00

RA8 Renewal Skin Crème RM98.00




For more information, please visit official website Wonderbox.  They are launching a fashion box and there are the WonderSpree Entries and also products Survey that you can get points that allow you to redeem box or products from their Shop.

The box is not sponsored. I purchased the item myself.  RM45 per box.

REVIEW ON FIBERGO

the powder

This is how it look when it mix with water.

What is dietary fibre?
Divided into non-water soluble dietary fibre and soluble dietary fibre, these fibres are mainly derived from the cell walls of plants, including cellulose, hemicellulose, resin, pectin and lignin. Dietary fibre cannot be digested by the body’s decomposition process.

Why is dietary fibre important?
Interestingly, dietary fibre does not have any nutritional value but plays many roles when present in the gut. It reduces accumulation of toxins in the body, promotes intestinal peristalsis and lowers cholesterol to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Dietary fibre also has a significant effect in the prevention of colorectal cancer.


Nutrition scholars refer to dietary fibre as the “7th nutrient” and the Food and Dietary Association (FDA) recommends that the appropriate amount of dietary fibre can assist in the prevention of obesity, coronary heart disease, cancer, and colon cancer.


The American Heart Association recommends that the general daily dietary fibre intake for an adult should be 25-30. Statistics show that more than half of the population consumes less than 15 grams of dietary fibre per day, leading to an increasing number of people facing constipation and toxins in the body. \"A large number of scientific researches have confirmed that lack of dietary fibre, an unbalanced diet are significant reasons for the increase in obesity, diabetes, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, and malignant conditions.


How FibreGo works

It has Psyllium fibre which is extremely rich in fibre and helps absorb toxins in the large intestine to be excreted. Drinking FibreGo before a meal gives you a sense of being full and it also binds excess fats.
Bitter orange fruit fibre high in antioxidant that promotes intestinal detoxification, at the same time helping to reduce appetite for controlled eating.
Aloe Vera stimulates the movement of food to different processing stations in the digestive tract (peristalsis) and promotes better stool excretion.
Green Tea is an antioxidant that helps fight bacteria, virus, and certain tumours as well as control blood sugar levels and prevents low density fat from being absorbed. Why choose FibreGo?

It is formulated according to leading U.S. Nutrition Research guidelines and prepared specifically for the Asian physique and body composition. It presents no side effects and will not cause dependence on the formula.
All ingredients are natural and high in quality. FibreGo’s main ingredient is the high purity psyllium which has fibre content of 80%, and makes up 70-80% of an individual’s daily intake of soluble dietary fibre. Comparatively, fibre-rich grains like oats and wheat bran only contribute 15% and 10% of daily fibre consumption respectively. Additionally, psyllium fibre has the ability to absorb water and swell to about 50 times from its original form, helping in large intestine motility and promotes smoother excretion.
FibreGo taste great and has impressed the general public who often fear the poor taste of dietary fibre. Even kids will love its natural taste!



It is in form of powder but when it touches the water, it will turn into drinks with fiber.  There is some rough beads of powder.  It won't dissolve even if you stir the drink many times. Besides, it is quite sticky but drinkable.  I guess that is where the fiber is. The drink is sweet with orange flavour.

I was having some constipation problem that day but when I drink this, I have no problem at all.  I think this fibergo is really good to help with digestion since it contains fiber.  Since it is only a packet, I can't tell you the long term effect but I think it does help with the digestion.

HEALTHY FOOD FOR LUNCH

the one from the left is tomato, fish rolls, tofu and zucchini

garlic with spinach to be like Popeye the sailorman

this is homemade sambal without the chilli seeds.  It contains olive oil and many other herbs.

Hi, I am back with recommendation of healthy food for a slim body and to look young.  Have lunch like a Prince and this is one of the menu that I usually eat at home.  Well, I am picky but I can't stand to starve myself even for a day.  So, if it comes to worse, I would just eat fruits.

Normally, my mum doesn't cook chicken and other red meat.  Her favourite is only fishes everyday.  Still, I am wearing glasses and I think it would be worse if I don't eat fish everyday.  I guess it is because of genetic build that both of my parents wear glasses and so I do.  Yeah, I look like a nerd wearing glasses but oh well.. it doesn't matter.

The Fish rolls that you see above is a mixture of fish, green peas,carrots and wrap with tofu skin and bake inside the oven.  It is actually a traditional Hokkien food that only appears during Chinese New Year.  My mum make some changes to it to make it more healthy.  My saliva will drip every time my mum cook this.  Yeah, am not joking.  The number of my favourite food can be counted with my 10 fingers.  SO picky right?

People said that Mediterranean diet is good for a healthy body and skin.  When I think about it, it looks like my daily food.  So, that is why I wonder if that is the reason that I do look younger than my real age.  Yeah, it sound like I am bragging but it works and my skin would wreck havoc on me when I stray from my normal diet.

A diet that is high in vegetables, fishes and fruits is good for a health body.  One doesn't need to starve to get a slim body.  That is what I called torture.  I am definitely not a believer of pain for the sake of beauty.  Being slim does not mean stick thin but healthy body and young looking skin.  It is important to be careful of the food intake and also using good products but not necessary expensive products to have achieve good skin.  One may blame on it all on genetics but that is only 50%.  The another 50% comes from habits.  My family father and mother side are also mostly XL or XXL but we are thin due to cultivating healthy habit in us since young.

Of course it hard to resist those beautiful cakes, fried chicken and such but health is not like rocket science.  You can't build it in one day.

Well, who don't want a healthy skin that is radiant like Koreans right?





The food here is cooked by my mum and is not from any other restaurant available. It is not a sponsored food review.
What I said here is also not to demoralise anyone or anybody.  The opinions expressed here are my own and honest as always.

MY HAUL AT HISHOP

Last month, I did a haul from HiShop.  Personally, there are many things that I wanted to buy but since am broke so I only did a little haul from it.  So, here is what I bought.

Lemonlime ADE Mask RM4.50

Lady Gines Black Swan Becomes White (Advanced Whitening) Mask RM5.90

Garden Of Eden Rosa T Triple Action Acne Serum (Sample)

Garden Of Eden Natur E Scar Serum (Sample)

Scent Affair Fragrant Bodywash - Pomegranate (500ml - Refill Pack) RM8.90

Lady Gines A Cinderella Transforming (Advanced Anti-Acne) Mask (1pc) RM5.90

Baviphat Natural Pure Lemon Facial Foam 200ml RM19.90

Personally, service was okay since I bought everything on a public holiday so they get back to me a few days later.  The courier was really fast as HiShop email back to me on Monday and I got my things on Tuesday itself via Gdex.  They also send the tracking number to me so that I can track your things incase it get lost somewhere.  Their customer service was good as they replied to your message the next day itself.

I always have to worry about my things since some certain courier will not even message or call me to tell me that my things have arrived and then they will just send my things back to the original sender!  How pissed I was when that happened to me since I couldn't be going to that courier counter everyday and ask if my things has arrived?  I would look like an idiot.

So, personally I prefer Post Laju or Gdex here.  Fast, efficient and good.

HiShop bubble wrap their things and you would not have to worry anything got spilled during the process of arrived at your place.  They make sure everything is wrap securely even if it is just some tiny samples.  So far, I have received everything from them in securely, protected and in good condition.  So you don't have to worry about it.

Moreover, their things are really genuine and of good quality.  It is the same as buying from the shop or pharmacies =) .  Overall, would I buy again?  Yes because there are some certain brands that is only available in HiShop like Skinmiso and it is really good.

CLINIC NATTA COSME QUESTION: COTTON PADS ARE COMMONLY USED TO APPLY TONER ON FACE FOR BETTER ABSORPTION. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

COTTON PADS ARE COMMONLY USED TO APPLY TONER ON FACE FOR BETTER ABSORPTION. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

So, I got this question to help answer from Clinic Natta Cosme.  I am a believer that one should use cotton pad to use toner.  This is because there is difference between using and not using toner.  Let me tell you a story about how important of using cotton pad to apply toner on the face.

Suzuran Lily Bell Lilian Puff. Cost RM9.90 for 222 pcs/pack. Here is the direct link

Here is the story about using cotton pads:

A: This toner is no good!  I don't see any difference on my face.

B: How come?  Everyone said that it is good.  Are you using it with cotton pad?

A: Really?  I only pat it on my face using my hand.

B: *horrified*.  It doesn't work that way!  You should use cotton pad. Bla bla bla.....

After one week

A: I am in love with this toner!  Thanks for telling me the correct way of using the toner.

B: Glad that it work for you. (it is important to use cotton pads)

This is a true story of the importance of using cotton pad to apply toner.  Some people may not find it importance to get good cotton pad or soft cotton pad but to me it does make a difference.  It is not necessary to choose expensive or branded cotton pad if you can't afford it as long as you choose some fluffy cotton pad that doesn't hurt the skin.  Some cotton pad are really rough to use, so avoid those.

Using the cotton pad correctly help to clean the skin from all the dead cells and dirt accumulated through the day.  It will also allows the skin to absorb the importance ingredients from serum, essence or moisturiser later.  You don't want those precious ingredients to just stay on top of your skin right?  Besides that, cotton pads have even surface that allow the toner to cover all the area of the skin so that our skin is clean throughout.  This can't be done if we are just using our hands.  Besides that our hands is full with bacteria and using your hands to use the toner is asking for trouble.  It means you are putting bacteria on your skin.

There are two side to the cotton pads and I always utilise both side.  I realise this method work with most of the toner that I am using.  Your skin will be more plump up and softer after that.  Try it yourself to see the differences.


How to use the toner:
1.  Pour about 3.5cm/1,5inch of toner on to the cotton pad.  Make sure it is really wet up to the other side.  It is optional to use two cotton pads.
2.  Then swipe on the T zone first (your nose, and forehead), then swipe on the other area.  Only go through your skin one time.  Don't swipe more than once.  Your skin is not some rough tree bark.
3.  Then turn over to the other side.  Use the other side to pat the toner onto the skin 2-3 few times on each area.

If you are hardworking, you can do this twice a day for faster effect.  Don't do this more than twice a day.  Nothing good will come of being overboard.

Warning-don't do the "swiping method" if your skin is super sensitive to friction.

DIET TIPS-EAT LIKE A KING IN THE MORNING

Seriously there is not fast rules towards a slim body or healthy body. I  can tell you that I am lazy to exercise.  The only exercise I do daily is walking to buy groceries.  For people that know me, they will tell you that I eat a lot and yet still stay slim.  The truth is I am really picky when it comes to food.  I don't eat anything that doesn't taste good or should you say my mum spoiled me with chinese 'Dim Sum'. If only I inherited my mum's genes to make Chinese dim sum.

Okay, let us move to this one important diet tips that is I must eat breakfast everyday and it must be heavy one.  However, most will say that they get worry if they will gain more weight if they eat heavy breakfast.  I can tell you it doesn't work that way.

One rules my family follow until now is have breakfast like a King, have lunch like a Prince and have dinner like a Pauper.

However, most people do it the other way around.  So, there goes your waist too.

Here is some picture of my breakfast.

seriously? Burger in the morning?  Yes, I am and i ate two of it =)

ermm, this is Chinese 'ang ku' . I ate three of it already so this is the left over.  It is red beans inside. The colouring came from real pumpkin juice.

This is the glutinous rice with prawn curry.

bruschetta.  Sorry it looks ugly since it is homemade. 

Chinese Mee suah with leeks

And this is one of my dinner that is pauper like

my mum created pan mee with cabbage.

So, any of the food caught your eyes?  I realise that I don't do much of food review since I literary forget everything when I see food.

REVIEW ON THAYERS ROSE PETAL WITCH HAZEL WITH ALOE VERA TONER

Across the trillion stars along the milky way, there exist a planet named Natta. The nation of the planet lived under an abominable rule where the people must never look the same. They must have their very own distinctive style and character. If there ever existed people who look identical to one another, the authorities will dispatch these people to the one and only Natta Cosme. Natta Cosme provides numerous beauty products that brings out the true physical beauty of the people. These products include skin care, body wash, and make up set. A new individual will be borned after undergoing the transformation. This can be seen in the double "T's" of the logo of Natta Cosme which represents that every individual is distinctively different from one another.

Natta Cosme provide many products from other countries and they always have amazing sales! Fragile products are accompanied by bubbles and really secure wrapping and they also provide knowledge on the usage of the product.


I am one of the lucky people to be selected for the The Butterfly Project Malaysia Chapter 1 with Natta Cosme.  I was so excited and the wait almost killed me since Thayers is a well known products for their Toner and I had read so much rave about this product.


So, let’s move to the unboxing of the products.

The box arrived decorated

Secure and really pretty packaging

OMG, I can't believe my eyes when I see the box itself! SOOOOOO Amazingly pretty. I was surprised by the amount of effort Natta Cosme did to send me this Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera Toner. Imagine how much hard work to wrap it so securely, cellotape them and write my name with beautiful colour pens. I am out of my breath looking at how much DIY they did to all the wrapping of the things. I thought I will just get a bottle of Thayers Rose Petal and that's it. I can't believe my eyes when I see all the other thoughtful extras inside the box. LOVE THEM SO MUCH!

Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel With Aloe Vera Toner

There is even ribbon added on the bottle. It felt as if I am receiving a bottle of perfume =)
There is the pink seal and another seal inside the bottle of toner to avoid any tampering on the products.

Surprise! Egyptian Magic Cream that many people rave about and hopefully I will be selected to review this Egyptian Magic Cream too.

Inside this bright colour packaging is the Suzuran Lily Bell Lilian Puff. They are really soft and fluffy. Well and they only cost RM9.90 for 222 pcs/pack. The quality is really good and definitely better than those RM2 per packet.  Here is the direct link

There is a capsule inside the plastic bag too. I was wondering how I am supposed to eat this measly only one capsule until I saw the word in RED "Please be aware that the capsule is not for consumption purposes. XP

There is a question inside the capsule for us to help to answer. “Cotton pads are commonly used to apply toner on face for better absorption. What do you think?” I will answer in another post as I can be very long winded about it.  Here is the link

Lastly, these postcard are details about the products and also the discount code of readers =)

Alright, let us move to the main product.

the toner is so transparent that you can even see the writing clearly =)

Here are some details about Thayer Rose Petal Alcohol Free Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera Formula toner

Thayers Rose Petal is very popular in the western countries. I heard so much about them until I know that Natta Cosme do sell them here. This toner is amazing for dry skin. Since rose is well known ingredients for dry skin and aloe vera for soothing, I think this is a really fantastic product for dry skin or just to cool down the skin.


Rests assure that you won’t break the bottle as it is made of plastic. Good for clumsy people who has butter hands like me. Everything just slips out of my hands easily. 355 ml can last me some time. I think it is really worth the money and the bottle is really practical and easy to use.


When I open the cap, I was greeted by the wonderful smell of roses.  It is like having a a bottle of roses perfumed water.  The liquid is transparent and watery. It also get absorb into the skin real fast.  There are three ways I use this toner-as toner with cotton pad, mask and also as mist.

how I use Thayers toner

When I used the toner with cotton pad, it is moisturizing and I think that it does cleanse my skin without feeling strip of moisturiser and it doesn't make my skin having the 'tight' feeling. It doesn't aggravate my sensitive condition as I am quite sensitive with products. After using for a week, I release that my forehead does look more hydrated and my skin is not oily. I think it must be this Thayer toner!



Make sure you wet at least diameter of 2cm or else there wouldn't be any benefits in using it. Do not be stingy with products. =)


I also tried using it with the compressed mask on my skin. Just wet the compressed mask with the toner and put it on the face for 5 to 10 minutes. It works just like a hydrating mask =). Put the toner inside the fridge for better effect.


I pour some of the Thayers Rose Petal Toner into an empty spray bottle and just spray on my face when I feel dry or to refresh my face. It works to set up makeup too.


Overall, Thayers Rose Petal toner works great to moisturize your skin and hydrate it especially if you have dry skin or to heal skin when you get sunburn.

sorry, my hands is so hairy XD

TIPS: THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN BB CREAM AND CC CREAM

When the market was hit by BB cream, everyone went crazy with BB cream and now the market are hit by another tsunami of craze that is the CC cream. Unfortunately this CC cream comes with so many names such as cream control, cream correct, colour correcting and complete control. With this BB cream and CC cream, I am sure you are just as confuse on what are the differences between this two. Here is a little breakout between the two.

BB Cream-Blemish Balm focuses more on covering acne scarring and uneven skin tone caused by acne. The texture are slightly heavier than cc cream and are not waterproof. Besides, BB cream only has one colour which could cater to different skin tone.

CC Cream - Correct CC cream will have the colour change effect and complexion correct to create the radiant glow with the help of light diffusing particles in it. The cream usually changes the colour from white to light beige. 

The Control CC cream is for the brightening up and complexion care effect. Usually one can mix this type of CC cream with BB cream for the extra benefits.

On the other hand, most CC cream are waterproof but provide sheerer coverage. One can use them as makeup base. Besides, that most CC has few colour selection to cater to different to skin tone.

So, CC cream is not the same as BB cream or the upgraded version of BB cream.

REVIEW ON MONTAGNE JEUNESSE APRICOT SCRUB

As a girl, I think everyone wanted a better and flawless skin.  Although I am not a scrub loving person, I am going to give this a try since my skin is recently clogged because I have been consuming food high in dairy, sugar and meat.  If you do not remove all the things clogging the pores, then all benefits from your serum or moisturiser would work on your skin.

I usually do my own facial at home since it is cheaper although you will need to get everything ready yourself.  So, I incorporate this scrub and mask into it.  I would usually followed up with a sheet mask after that.

This scrub is use to exfoliate for a radiant, glowing complexion. Your tired, dull looking skin will be radically transformed to smooth, bright looking healthier skin. It is suitable For vegans, gluten Free, dairy free with no added parabens.

Here is the list of ingredients: Aloe Vera, Apricot, Evening Primrose, Green Tea and Mango

Here is the direction to use them: Cleanse face and dry. Apply evenly over face and neck with fingertips, avoiding eyes and lips. Lie back & relax for 5-10 minutes, or until dry. Rinse off with warm water. Pat dry. Use weekly.

It is suitable for combination, dry,normal and oily skin. It is not recommended for sensitive skin though since there is particle and the skin might react to scrubs.

there is tiny beads on it.  Sorry for the lousy graphic =(

First of all, it smell of walnut which can be quite delicious but please don't eat it.  The scrub are quite tiny but it can be harsh if you scrub too hard.  So, only massage gently and leave it to dry for about 10minutes.  It was super easy to wash it off the face and my face felt super clean after that.  =)

My skin become more refined and soft.  Definitely an effective mask to clean the skin. It is budget friendly mask and you can use it two times.  Moreover, it is organic and natural.

sorry, I don't know why it is yellowish when it looks fine in the photo =(

REVIEW ON BIDANPO MEDIENTAL BALHYO-BOYANGSU MEDIENTAL CLINIC MASK

photo is  from HiShop

the back of the mask.  I couldn't understand Korean.

Sheet  masks may one look silly for 20minutes but it is fine since no one is going to look at me.  Using a sheet mask is good to cool down the dry peeling skin especially in a country like Malaysia.  It is scorching hot here-34 degrees at night especially when one is living near the sea like me.


Fermentation aesthetics ‘Bidanpo Mediental Healing Mask’ is a brand of oriental medicine skin science born in “Hana Green Oriental Medical Clinic” of the oriental medicine skin specialist majored in Oriental Medicine of Kyung-Hee University.


Bidanpo Mediental Balhyo-Boyangsu Mediental Clinic Mask
BENEFITS: Enhanced moisturizing for damaged and extremely dry skin.
A whitening mask pack enhancing skin hydration and helping skin nourishment with doctors' secret method 'Jayang-Boseupdan', fermenting and maturing 12 precious medicinal herbs in a bamboo bucket to enhance nourishment and moisturization for dry and rough skin.

Although it is written as whitening, the main purpose would to be to moisturise dry skin and to help in healing damaged skin especially after sunburn.  I think it is really suitable to soothe dry and uncomfortable skin.  My skin was still moisturise the next morning when I wake up.  It felt the same as using sleeping mask.  It would be a great mask to bring during travelling or if you sleep in air-conditioner room =)  .

Although the mask sheet is thin, it doesn't drip at all!

The fit is great.  It is just enough for my face and there wouldn't be too much of extra at the side.  The mask adhere to my face properly and the essence does not drip at all.  There isn't extra essence inside the mask as the sheets mask soaked it all.  The sheet mask is still moist even after 30 minutes.  So, I think this is excellent =0.  My face does look brighter and moist the next day =0.

The sheet mask is a little brownish but fear not as it is the colour of the essence is from fermentation process.  It smelt a little like yeast used in baking bread but the smell isn't overpowering.  Using this for a few times and the skin will definitely be as soft as baby since fermented  precious medicinal herbs is really good for skin =).  Kind on your pocket too.

Overall, I do like the mask very much.  The cooling and moisturise level is great.  Do try them out.
