:: Skinfood - Acorn Jelly Mask Reviews ::

As I promised, I am back and I am excited to share about another favorite mask from Skinfood which is Acorn Jelly Mask. Yes..it is a jelly-ish texture and for me, it's different but something new for me.

This mask was recommended by the SA  and she said most of the return customers gave good feedback about this mask and it's always running out of stock. At the time, i noticed there were only 3jars left on the rack compare to other masks.

According to her, the mask is good for oily skin, can reduce blackhead and whitehead, reduce pores size, dry acne and remove dead skin cells thus making skin looks smooth and polished.
:: ACORN JELLY MASK ::
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: "A mask that effectively tightens oil-clogged enlarged pores and exfoliates layers of dead skin cells with powdered acorns from Jiri-mountain" 

:: the ingredients ::
:: the jelly-ish texture..remind of jelly/pudding::
:: mini spoon to scoop the product..very convenient and hygenic::
:: looks yum-yum...hehe::
:: put it on hand and apply it on face..tada~~::




Yup, the texture is so amazing and actually using the mask is easy. It only need a minute, i emphasize ONE MINUTE only then rinse it. That's it! According to the SA, she doesn't encourage to let the mask on face for too long (more than a minute), scared that it will be too strong and do harm, instead of giving benefits. So, doesn't that mean the ingredients are too strong or efficient?? oh heck..so, i was influenced to give it a try since they were only 3 jars left and the SA looks so convincing, plus she guarantee it! oh well~~

Ok,so here is my 2cents:-
I'm using this mask twice a week. Yes, it is very easy to use and plus, it only takes a minute.For me, it saves a lot of time and i no need to wait. Well, that's a good thing right?!! Worry of could not feel the mask is working? Gosh, even a minute, i actually can feel that tingling sensation and can feel the mask is working. The tingling sensation is actually a bit of painful and i could not wait wash it off but still can be endure tho~ ;)

My mistake for the first time using it was, i used a lot of the products, two scoops...and i waste a lot of products. One scoop is all it takes and it can cover my face and my neck. 

It's been a month now, and i can say that the product actually serves quite good:
reduce pores size - my pores not getting smaller but actually it looks clean and hence, make it looks less visible
reduce blackhead and whitehead - not really, i can still see blackhead especially on my nose tho 
reduce oily skin - yup!!! i can feel my skin stay matte for a long hours the next day and last until midday..ain't it awesome?!!
dry pimple - not drying but it control zits. maybe because it reduces oil on face,hence, control zit.
remove dead skin cells -  yup! i can see my face became polished,clean and refresh..it actually make my skin clearer and looks brighter.
price wise  - it's a bit expensive for me, retail price is RM63.90..however, since the product serves a good quality and benefits, i am not complaining;)


last but not least, it's a good buy and Skinfood skincare products are just amazing. 
I can't wait to share another Skinfood masks which i purchased last week, and it is AWESOME!!

till the next post,

:: Skinfood - Mask!::


Ok, before I'll go for a short hiatus..i would like to share my HG masks from Skinfood products. I was introduced to this brand by my friend after she asked me to try the facial mask sheet. I still remembered my first mask which is Snow Tea Mask Sheet and I must say, the first experience was amazing. So i returned to the shop as one happy customer, made few purchases of their mask and I've found that Skinfood's masks are beyond amazing and have made some as my HG mask. I'll always return to restock my favorite masks and check out new stuffs. Once, i was never bother about the shop but now, it is one of my 'pit-stop'.
Ok, so here's a few of my HG masks so far.

 1. Peach Sake Pore Essence Mask Sheet
[click on the picture to enlarge]
This is for oily skin and to treat Acne-prone skin. I'm using this mask once or twice a week depending on my skin condition. This is a MUST purchase for me. What I like about this mask sheet? OMG, not only it reduce oily skin but it helps to reduce pimple and stop pimple from becoming worst. How can i tell it's good? Well, a week ago it was a super busy week that i didn't follow my skincare regime well and not to mention, my skin started to break out and there was lots of small zits on my forehead, chin and jaw line. So, i put on this mask at night and leave it on my face for 30 minutes (i know it's exceeding the time limits but it smells so niiiiiccceee just like peach and it's such a waste to throw it away when it's still 'wet' with all the essence). The next morning, i can see the zits disappear and heal and my skins was so smooth and not that oily anymore. It also make make-up application looks natural and 'absorb' to the skin well.
I don't remember how much it is precisely but i think it's around RM11-12. It's a bit expensive because it's an essence and each mask session equals to one bottle of essence, as what they have claimed..

2. Snow Tea Mask Sheet
This is for whitening effect, reducing spot and make skin supple and smooth. At first I thought I doesn't need it since my skin is already fair enough. But then, my friend persuaded me to give this is a try and she keep on complimenting everything about this mask. So..i gave it a try. 
This is my first mask trial from Skinfood. My 2cents, i don't see my skin gettting fairer but it's make dull skin appears brighter and refresh. And yes, i couldn't stop touching my face after using the mask. It really makes my skin smooth and supple. I like how it felt on skin the next morning after i wake up, it's awesome!
Not only that, it last for few days and make make-up application easier and looks natural on face. I was so surprised putting make up become effortless that i don't need thick foundation but instead i use BB creams and it stays on well.
I've bought this mask sheet for my friend and she's also loving it and we have the same thought on this mask.So, that's mean that this mask is well-deserved for a round of applause for its quality..Yayyy!!;))

This mask costs RM8.90..;)

3.  Shea Butter Foot Mask
Ok, even a foot also have a mask. I was skeptical about this mask at first because i doubt how it is used on foot. So, the seller told me that it's looks like a sock and you can walk and do house chores while using this mask. At the time, i was having a very bad cracked heel due to standing for long hours and walking here and there all the times and i never bother about my heels until i noticed few cracked lines already show up. I was panicked and i don't want to have grandma heels and that dirty look cracked heels so i used pumice stone, apply cream and do whatever i can to reduce and make it disappears. The result was not that satisfying and last temporarily then it comes back again.
So, that is when i decided i give this mask a shot. Yes, it looks like a sock and u wear it like one. I leave it on my foot for about 30 minutes or until it becomes dry that all the liquid absorbed well. 
the result, well..tada, AMAZING!! No more cracked heels but smooth and baby soft foot. It lasts for a week and yes, i was so happy that i don't feel embarrass about my foot anymore. I used this once a month to treat my foot.
The mask costs RM13.90.

So, these are my three top HG mask sheets from Skinfood products. .
And last but not least,
:: ACORN JELLY MASK::
I'll be reviewing about this mask soon and yes, it's also my HG mask! This one need a proper review because it is so gooood.
ATTENTION:: I am  not paid or given the masks by the company to do this review. This post is my honest reviews about this masks and to share my with you my favorite products. All the masks were bought with my money.

Till then,
