Nexcare Acne Patches Review

Acne. Acne are just so irritating!!! People who has acne problems, you'll know how I feel. I had so many friends with acne problems, but I bet I'd the most serious acne problem among them. 

In my case, my pimples are like big ones. First, I'll have a big red bump. Second, the red bump will turn into zits (yellowish, disgusting thingy, so called pus). Third, I'll poke it cz I got no choice, I'll look freaking ugly with those zits and I ain't going out with that! 

I'm a picker. When I was in my teenage, I just can't stand with those bumps, zits! I'll either pick it or poke it! I know it's disgusting, it's not good, but I just can't control myself! I believe most of those people who suffer from acne did that k.

Soon, when I grow up, I start controlling myself, I pick less, but there's still some nights I'll try to poke those acne and squeeze those heads out. Then the next morning, I'll look freaking fugly with red bumps all over my face and worst, scars. So now, I'll warn myself to never pick on my pimples!

Few weeks ago, I did mention on how crazy my pimples are! It's so insane, so luckily I had no school, I won't need to go out so no makeup! I just wait for the pimple to heal itself, but it take ages! and those pimples just grow bigger. One day I need to meet my friend nearby my house for dinner, and the pimple is just so awkwardly lied near my nose there. And one of my friend, she told me to use the Nexcare Acne Patch. She said it's super duper good! And yes! IT IS FREAKING AWESOME! It's a miracle for me!

P.S previously, before my friend recommended me this thing, I did heard before acne patches from those gurus but I never looked into it. Cz I thought it's just a piece of sticker that you used to stick on your acne cz it's so freaking ugly. That's all. I never know it can actually heal your acne in a faster way. I know I sound idiot. lollll

So after my friend recommended me, I straight away went to Watson and buy. I bought the smaller pack one, i can't remember how many patches they got. In one pack, they got two sizes, small and big patches. Btw, the pack I bought is 40% thinner, I had no idea how thick the original one is, cz I never buy it before.

The second time I purchase, I bought the bigger box, with 30 patches, 40% thinner (like the pic above).

However, this time this box only contain small size patches. But I had seen people posting on the normal original ones, they got big and small size patches. I had no idea why. I'll try to find it out soon.

Those patches act as a barrier to prevent yourself from picking your zits, reduce hand contact and infection. It acts like a sponge that absorbs the oily secretion, fluid and pus.

How to use:

1. Cleanse your face, dry your face with a towel. Stick the patch to your pimples before you apply any skin care product. Make sure that your hand and face is dry. Otherwise, it will not stick well.

2. Once the colour changes to white, it means that the oily secretion has been absorbed. Gently peel it off.

3. If wearing makeup, applu the acne patch first.

For me, I'd prefer to use it during the night time. I once use it when I go out. In the end, I ended up looking stupid, a girl with a sticker on her face. Lolll cz it's not completely transparent or skin colour. It's slightly yellow instead.

So during the night, after I cleanse my face, I would stick it onto my acne. After that, I'll apply my skincare products. The next day, when you peel it off, you'll find a yellowish spot on the patch. That's the pus. And then, your zits will be gone. No blood, no pus. Awesome! 

Pickers or I should say anyone suffering from acne should really buy this! Esp those who have big big big pimples like me! Don't pick your pimples as it will leave scars! I'm also saying this to myself! Lollll

I hope you find this post useful :D

Special Mission by Etude House + Magic Any Cushion Review

Few months ago, Etude House Singapore recruited 12 lucky fans for a special mission prior to launching their new mysterious product. Ladies chosen got to try the product and walk away with $200 worth gifts.

As a fan of Etude House, i didn't hesitate at all. I joined! I followed the instructions, left my details, skin condition and stuffs. Few days later, they pm-ed me on FB and told me that I was one of the 12 lucky ladies, I was invited to attend the special mission! I totally forgot about that, that I joined sth like that. I WAS SO HAPPY!

When my friend saw me leaving the comment she was like impossible de la. Then when she knew that I was chosen she was like WOAH! LUCKY AH YOU! I KNOW RIGHT!!!

Okay so that day after my school ended, I headed to their office at Raffles Place. I was sooo excited. I had never attend such an event before. 

So we were brought to a room I supposed it's their meeting room. There were macaroons, cupcakes and drinks on the table. We were asked to sit according to our names.

Name card and that's their mystery new product, the Magic Any Cushion. 

So we were questioned with questions related to skin care and makeups like what we know, what we use, what we prefer, what we thought about. 

Macaroons were served because the packaging of Magic Any Cushion looks like macaroons.

Firstly, the Magic Any Cushion comes in 3 colours, Magic Pink, Magic Peach and Magic Mint.

Each of them are meant for different type of skin tone.

• Magic Pink is for pale skin tone, to bloom up your skin tone
• Magic Mint is for red skin tone, to cover redness
• Magic Peach is for dark & dull skin tone, to brighten up your skin tone

So the main function of the Magic Any Cushion is to express flawless skin after a few pats with the whitening effect. Furthermore, it contains moisture-lock formula that prevents moisture-loss after a few hours of makeup.

This product definitely helps you to achieve the korean look, the dewy makeup instead of powdery or matte. Besides, it also works as a highlighter where you can apply it at your t-zone and cheekbones.

How does the so called 'dewy look' looks like?
If you let me express this term 'dewy' i'll say it's like a layer of water on your face. Your makeup will look refreshing, bright, 3D, moisturized...

It doesn't work as a foundation or bb-cream as it has really low coverage. However, it does work as a base or primer.

How to use:

After skin care, apply it as a base with a few pats over your face. After that, apply foundation/bb-cream.

However, please remember to remove it with makeup remover cz after all, it's still a cosmetic product not a skincare product.

The Magic Any Cushion has an SPF of 34 so you can skip applying the sunblock. I would like to describe it as creamy texture. I found out that the creamy texture makes it slightly harder to blend your bb cream/foundation. I LOVE THEIR SCENT! It smells so good, so refreshing!

The before and after. As you can see, it really brightens up my skin and also it's shinny and seems like glowing.

In my case, I didn't buy the product personally but was given by Etude House. I mentioned my skin condition as I have a dark skin tone and have lots of pimples and acne scars. And I think they forgot that I have a dark skin tone and mistaken that I have redness over my face as I mentioned I have lots of pimples. So they gave me the Magic Mint. So I was pretty confused.

Conclusion, it is a bit too bright for me. The first time, I apply is as a base, I thought that it is too bright. Besides, I always apply powder after bb cream. Hence, if I apply it as a base, after I apply powder, I won't achieve the dewy look. After that, I use it as a highlighter, just slightly pat a bit at my t-zone and cheeks. And I have to say I think it makes my makeup stays longer.

As it has low coverage, quite light and sheer, it is quite suitable for people who have less skin problems and are looking for light makeup.

Asking me if I would use my own money and buy myself, I would like to try again on Magic Peach. But I still don't think it's a MUST HAVE product. I would prefer having a better coverage bb cream/foundation + concealer. 

IT'S MY PERSONAL OPINION :)

It's announced on Etude House Global that the Magic Any Cushion will be officially launched globally this coming 1st May!

Tell me how find it if you purchase it :)

3CE Review

3CE, stylenanda has been really popular these days. Stylenanda's clothes and also 3CE's cosmetics. Every k-pop celebrities wear their clothes onstage and offstage. It's just so pretty! Really wanted to get some of their outfits! And next is their sister, 3CE. Every blogger is like blogging about this and so many people are posting it on insta and the packaging and their lip products' colour just attracted me so much. Never thought of really getting it cz it's quite pricey. But after that, I got too attached, every day I see lots of people posting about it then yes I was like I MUST GET THIS! And there's so many people selling it with price like lip pigment for RM 60 or what I can't really remember, it's just quite expensive lah. But I still thought of getting some lip products cz it's just too tempting. And thank goodness, one day, a seller followed me on insta and I was like I'll just try and ask about the price. AND MY GOSH IT'S LIKE DIRT CHEAP! A lot cheaper than other sellers lah! Lip pigment for RM 48. At first I hesitated and thought if it's authentic or not but after I see those reviews I decided to order. For the first time, I ordered 2 lip pigments, 1 waterproof creamy eyeliner, 2 lip crayon and 1 lip lacquer. NEVER DISAPPOINT ME MAN! Those things are just so damn good! Okay there's pros and cons lah but still, I'm in love with them!

Things arrive and are nicely packed with a sticker sealed.

Items ordered with some freebies :D 

I love freebies :)

Gonna do some review now... My favourite item gonna be the lip lacquer #pink boom

I'm so in love with the colour. It's so pigmented. It's kinda like bright hot/darker pink? And it gives a matte effect. I thought it would be like glossy but no. AND I LOVE IT.

Can't directly apply like that cz it's really really really pinkish, like too much? So I tend to use the lip brush and just apply bit by bit like not too much :D

Thing that I like is definitely the colour but it seems like it's not for people like me who has dry lip.

Another favourite item is gonna be this creamy waterproof eveyliner #les miserable (brown)

 I have oily skin and whenever I apply eyeliner with liquid or pencil eyeliner it's just terrible, I can't see my eyeliner after like 3-5 hours later like terrible. And I hate the pencil eyeliner, it's just so hard to apply. When I ordered this I still worry like it will just work like others, easily gone after few hours just that this is super waterproof.

But no man, it's so damn easy to apply like easy to draw and it lasts! No joke, and I'm in love!

It's designed to be like convenient cz there's a small sharpener behind it and you can just sharpen it whenever and you won't need to bring a sharpener out. But the cons for me is the sharpener. It's so small and so hard to handle la and you need to clean in every time before or after you sharpen and it's so hard to clean. And when you sharpen it, you need to be so gentle cz I once broke like one small 3cm of the eye liner lol. it's so fragile or maybe it's me too harsh LOL

Next is the lip pigment #issue #electro pink, it's one of the top selling product. The special thing about it is you can mix two or more colours together and have another new colour. Cool right? 

Again, I think it gives a matte effect. And it's damn long lasting lah! It's also quite pigmented and the colour. 

Again I didn't apply much, just a tiny bit with the brush. It gives me a lighter pink :)

 #issue gives me a darker orange 

Jumbo Lip Crayon #ohmypink #poporange, it's kinda troublesome cz you need another sharpener.

 To be honest, I didn't like it at first, cz when I apply it seems so light and my skin tone is darker and it seems like my lip kinda disappear? LOL like too light for me la the colour and some more my lips thick and it seems thicker after that. BUT...

After I apply a few times, I think it's fine. I found that it's quite natural and quite suitable for school like not so over lah...  So I'm quite ok with it now.

 But for #ohmypink I think I still havn't apply it like individually but I did tried to apply with another lip product which is like brighter hot pink red and mix together, it's just so nice.

And this time, yes I ordered 4 items again (concealer still haven't arrive yet) cz there's to much people giving good reviews and I just wanna try it out. (Ah, excuse lahhhh :DDD)

Haven't try them out yet, so no reviews :) Reviews will be up after I tried them out :D

Lipstick #CHUCHU

 Lip and Cheek #ringgo hoho somehow seems quite like one of Etude house's product which is also for lip, cheek and eye. And I own it also lol

 Marble highlighter. Saw like some hk bloggers posting reviews about this and so yeah I decided to get this :D
