DIY RICE PAPER GEL MASKS USING SPRING ROLL PAPERS



Sometime last year, I watched a popular Korean beauty show and saw many were introducing the rice paper as cheap alternative of gel type of masks. As a skincare junkies, I was frantically searching for the rice paper and ........  Well just say I gave up and forget about it already.

Just when I wasn't searching, I went travelling and accidentally came across this rice papers at Nu Sentral so I decided to buy and try it. My curiosity and being a skincare junkies get the better of me. In a blink of an eye, I was at the counter paying for the rice papers and some ingredients for the masks.

There are some alternative to using this rice paper so you can tweak it according to your liking.  I would always just go direct to the easiest and less messy way.

So here is the rice paper which is actually spring roll paper.  There is a lot in one packet and they are really cheap.

I am using organic green tea for calming purposes.  Make sure the liquid you use is not warm or hot or else the rice paper will turn into something else.  You can use milk instead of green tea for brightening purposes.  You don't need a lot.  You can drink the rest of the green tea and leave some for making this rice paper mask.

You can cut the rice paper into two or four smaller pieces.  Then dip those rice papers one by one into the green tea for about 1minute and when it is soft put it on the face.  Don't wait too long or you will end up tearing up the whole rice paper just like I did.

Please do not wrinkle up like I did .  *I forgot*.






The rice paper mask would stick to the face like glue so it is hard to adjust one you put on the face.    Don't smile or it will wrinkle up like me =(  .  Remove it when it is about 15minutes or when it is drying up and peeling down.

Generally, it is cheaper than using the paper masks we have in the shops but we have to make our own essence so pick your own 'essence' that you would like to put into it.  I saw some put in a drop of essential oil into the bowl along with green tea for extra properties. Actually, it is up to you.

It helps with cooling my face and since it is so cheap, I can just use it everyday without making a hole inside my wallet. =)  As for the question does it help with whitening and moisturising, it does if you use it everyday for a month.  Don't expect miracle with do- it-yourself   XP  .

About the question is the same as the hydrogel masks, the texture of the mask feels the same and the 'liquid' of what you put into the rice papers is the one determining how effective the rice paper masks will be to the skin.  I have not use 100 hydrogel masks to tell you if there is any huge different between man made hydrogel masks and this rice paper gel masks yet.  I can just say it is not bad for natural DIY cheap masks and it doesn't break me out.

CETAPHIL UVA/UVB DEFENSE SPF 50+ UVA 28

It has been some time since I always check if there are samples given out to try.  This is one of the samples that I find many would like because there is a Cetaphil gentle cleanser and also this Cetaphil UVA/UVB defense sunblock.

I already review the Cetaphil cleanser which I used for years until I found another favourite.
This Cetaphil UVA/UVB comes in a fluid white cream.  The texture is very light and it disappeared upon application into a transparent base.  My face is not oily nor looking matte.  There is no smell lingering on my face too which I like since I don't like heavy feeling of sunblock.  It doesn't clogged up my pores so that is good enough for wanting to buy it again

I think the high protection is good as my face was not burnt when I was using it.  I could say this is probably dupe for the high end La Roche Posay which is twice the price of this.



Products retails at RM80.  Made in France.  You could get it from Watsons or Guardian.

For more information, please visit Cetaphil facebook page website. Product is 5ml sample from the sampling events  The opinions expressed here are my own and honest as always.

ARE YOU SITTING COMFORTABLY-THERE ARE SO MANY TYPES OF CHAIRS




There are many different types of chairs – suitable for many different reasons. Okay, so chairs are for one reason and one reason only . . . to sit on. But what you do while you’re sitting on them affects the design of a chair, where it will be used, how it will be used, how long you will be sitting on it . . . all of these things make a big difference.

Let’s take a light hearted look at some of the many different types of chairs.

Arm Chairs – found in front of millions of televisions across the country. There are many different sizes and styles of armchair, they are available in a wide variety of colors and fabrics but basically they are designed to provide the maximum comfort while sitting by the fire on a cold winter’s night watching the television or reading a book. Armchairs are made for relaxing!



Bar Stools – a totally different concept, the bar stool is designed for sitting at a bar while indulging in your favorite tipple, or sitting in the kitchen while eating breakfast. They are tall enough for you to reach a bar comfortably, don’t generally have a back and sometimes even swivel around. Bar stools are made for perching!

Bath Chair – this is a specific type of chair for people who may experience difficulty getting in and out of the bath from the sitting position down low. They are designed to be sat on in the bath, in the water and don’t mind getting wet one bit. Bath chairs are made for bathing!





Beach Chair – these are lightweight, portable chairs which you can fold up, tuck beneath your arm and pop into the trunk of the car, then carry it onto the sand along with a picnic, a bucket and a space. Beach chairs are also useful in the garden or in the park, they are simply lightweight, portable chairs which can be used anywhere and everywhere.

Bean Bag Chair – isn’t a chair at all, it’s a giant bean bag. These are great for lounging and popular with young people who don’t have any difficulty in getting up from a virtually “lying on the floor” position. They are great fun and can be squished and squashed for the maximum comfort.



Salon Chair – there are at least two basic types of salon chairs . There are the “lie back and have your hair washed” salon chairs which are designed to provide the maximum comfort while the client enjoys a head massage and countless questions about where they took their vacation the previous summer, and the chair where the client will actually sit while the hair stylist works their magic. Some of these chairs can be made higher or lower for the maximum comfort of the stylist, most have some sort of footrest to stop the client from fidgeting and they are generally made from leather type materials which are easy to clean and the hair won’t stick to.  The Salon Outlet has a good choice of salon chairs to choose from.

Office Chair – there are also various office chairs. Let’s focus on the original “typists chair” although typists have largely been replaced by “computer operators”. These are highly adjustable for the maximum comfort of the person sitting on them, they are on wheels to be easily maneuvered around the office and have chair backs but no arms which would get in the way of the elbows.

That really is just a tiny proportion of the types of chairs there are available these days – there are thousands more.

REVIEW ON KLAIRS RICH MOIST SOOTHING MASK

I think it is already a popular culture to use sheet masks compare to other type of mask. Even K-pop stars showed themselves on the Instagram using sheet masks for their beautiful skin. Even Koreans are well known to use sheet masks everyday to maintain their beautiful skin. So here is the Korean sheet masks that I have bought in this Haul







Klairs rich moist soothing mask is made 100% Pure cotton. It also contains half bottle of

Rich Moisturizing Essence. If you use it, it would be like applying half bottle of Rich moisturizing essence on your face. In addition, as you might know, the essence is absorbed better and faster

than hands if you use Klairs rich moist soothing mask sheet. 



In summer or hot weather, please put Klairs mask in the fridge for 3~5 mins before you use it.

Then it quickly helps your face soothe some troubles such as a sunburn and skin troubles.







Features

Without any stickiness, the moisturizing face mask finishes of with refreshing texture. Abundant rich ingredients will be delivered to your skin after 15~20 minutes. Different from any other moisturizing face mask, even the most sensitive to troubled skin can use it without worrying about worsening problematic matter. 



The truthful brand, Klairs is eco-friendly cosmetics. Against animal testing, no alcohol, no paraben, no artificial coloring. Low irritation to the skin with safe and great ingredients, especially safe cosmetics for sensitive or trouble type skin.

My silly face with KLAIRS RICH MOIST SOOTHING MASK



The Klairs sheet mask has a soft texture and doesn’t drip as the thickness is just nice. It is not too thick or thin. I think this is the mask that fit my small face because the fit is just nice because I don’t like mask to cover my hair when I am masking. There is extra essence in the mask and I could just use that to cover my hands and neck.



The mask has a soothing subtle smell and it does reduce the redness of my face. My face was more moist too because as you see it is dry and red from being in the sun. This mask would suits those with dry skin as it moisturize the skin and doesn’t have a sticky feeling to it. Here is the results.

Hi everyone, hope you are enjoying your shopping since it is Sale seasons and Christmas is coming soon.  Anyway, here is just a simple tutorial on red and white French manicure.

It is actually easy to do French manicure with a little trick.  Here is what you need.

EASY FRENCH NAILS WITH MASKING TAPE


Masking tape/scotch tape (avoid cellotapes or those tape for surgery)

Scissors

Nail polishes

Nail polish remover

Cotton buds

REVIEW ON MONTE VERDE SPARKLING CARBONATED MINERAL WATER


Sparkling water or carbonated water has become famous and after trying the Spritzer sparkling water , I happened to come across another sparkling water in the Malaysia market.   This Monte Verde sparkling water came from Italy and the bottle is the made from glass hence the price tag.




MONTE VERDE SPARKLING CARBONATED MINERAL WATER
MONTE VERDE SPARKLING CARBONATED MINERAL WATER

MONTE VERDE SPARKLING CARBONATED MINERAL WATER
MONTE VERDE SPARKLING CARBONATED MINERAL WATER


I would say that the taste of this sparkling water is better than the Spritzer sparkling water I have tried.  It tastes like mineral water with bubbles inside the mouth if you hold the water inside for a while.  Since it is made from glass, I think the goodness of the water is still maintained.  The water does bubble up upon contact with skin but the bubbles are too small to really be noticed.

Does it really work?  Again I am not sure but it is sure better to use sparkling water to just spray it on the face as mist than using the tap water.  It is expensive to use the whole bottle of the water every day for the sake of my face as I can’t afford it and besides I am too lazy.  So, not sure if I would buy it again.  I think some Korean products has higher and more effective amount of carbonated sparkling water in them than the sparkling water available in the market.



Products retails at RM6.90 for a bottle.  Product is not sponsored.  The opinions expressed here are my own and honest as always.

Introducing to you an affordable slimming and firming cream for your body.

The cream comes in peachy in colour and has some capsules that will break.  It has peppermint smell that is very soothing and will remind you of toothpaste.  It is a self heating cream to help burn the fats and firm up the skin.  The cream get absorb into the skin fast so it is not sticky at all.  I feel a little warm but nothing unbearable.  Don't apply too much if you could not stand the heat first time.  The warm feeling lasted about 20minutes and it gradually fade off.

It doesn't leave a stain on the clothes after letting it dry down. So, no worries of it staining your clothes.  I have been trying it for a month and applying it daily.  My muscles is firmer and toner up but of course don't expect anything miracle if you don't exercise.  I think it work best with exercises.  If you want sick packs or get rid of the muffin top, then try using this with exercises.  Sorry, am too lazy to actually exercises so well this is quite useful.

ACNE TIPS:ZINC OXIDE AND CALAMINE FOR ACNE PRONE SKIN

ZINC OXIDE AND CALAMINE FOR ACNE PRONE SKIN
ZINC OXIDE AND CALAMINE FOR ACNE PRONE SKIN

ZINC OXIDE AND CALAMINE FOR ACNE PRONE SKIN


If you have known me for a long time, you will know that I am constantly trying or looking for remedies for acne without going to see the dermatologist. Although my acne is currently under control, sometimes I still have one or two in a month or when I am under stress.

Of course I am envious of those who don’t need any hard work to maintain a good skin or when they tell you that they are only using a cleanser or just plain water on their face. Besides, some parents like mine would just tell me that drinking water and eat enough food is enough to have a flawless skin. Right!!!???????

If only all that is the source of problem, then those acne problems would have already disappeared when I was using nothing on my face but nothing happen to those acne too. It was staring straight at my face and I looked bad.

Anyway, this is one of the cheaper remedies that helps with healing the acne. Zinc oxide and calamine are ingredients that are both good to help with the acne condition. Acne sufferers are known to have low amount of zinc so putting zinc on the skin helps your skin.

There are many skincare products out there with these two ingredients in them but I would say that those products are more expensive than this.

I would suggest one to find liquid which is a lot pinkish than this. The darker colour of pink, the better because it means higher amount of calamine. I don’t have much choice here so I could only experiment with two varieties.

Many people rave about the magic of using zinc oxide and calamine in their skin care routine. I personally tried it and yes it does help to ease the skin problem. My acne size does shrink overnight and my face redness was reduced.  It doesn’t work with cystic or those underground tough acne though.

It is cooling to skin and work on sunburn skin which is good. It doesn’t clog the skin because there is bentonite(clay) in it. The problem of using calamine and zinc oxide is you could only use it at night when you don’t have to meet people. Your skin will be opaque white when you are using it and a splash of water is not going to remove it if you are planning to go out or someone turn up on your doorstep out of sudden.

So, overall it is one emergency kit that you should have. It works for skin allergy, for chicken pocks and also eases the redness of the skin because of acne. I heard that it works wonderfully to help shrink the acne overnight to many.

REVIEW ON MY BEAUTY DIARY MEXICO CACTUS MASK (HYDRATION&MOISTURISATION)



My Beauty Diary is already very famous for their mask. It is because their sheet masks are generally cheaper and comes in a box of 10 compare to other brands. Generally many are following the Korean and Taiwanese of using sheet mask for everyday for a beautiful skin.

The box comes in with 10 masks. There is extra essence inside the mask. This Mexico cactus mask is hydrating and moisturizing to my skin. I don’t like that the sheet mask is too thin to the point that it drip down my face onto my clothes. It is kind of troublesome when the mask drip.



There is no strong smell for this mask so I find it okay. Overall, the mask is just okay and it is not that suitable for my skin type. If you do not have any problem with your skin and just want some moisturisation because of dryness, then this mask is for you. I don’t think this mask suits oily skin and acne prone skin like me.

REVIEW ON NEUTROGENA DEEP HYDRATING MASK


I have been a fan of Neutrogena mask because of their hydrating purposes.  The first time I use it was because my skin was peeling because of skin dryness and so I bought this without thinking much.  Turns out it hydrates my skin and the peeling disappeared.  Fast forward 10 years and I got this from Neutrogena Malaysia.

Yes, please laugh as I know I looked very silly here.


The mask sheet is not too thin and the shape is just nice for my face.  It is not too huge until I have to cut it.  The essence doesn’t drip too and applying it to my face is just a cooling treat. It does temporary brighten my face.  It doesn’t have any fragrance and it is alcohol free so that are good points.  Sorry forget to take the after face.  I was too tired and forget about it after removing it. XD  


It a good weekly treat to hydrate the skin =).
