The Face Shop Mini Pet Perfume Hand Cream Set

Three cuteness in one pretty box. Who can resist that? Look at that bear and kitties!

This three in one set contains super cute hand cream in animal shaped packaging. The cute blue bear is baby powder scented, red kitty is fruity and pink gilry kitty is floral. There's actually 4 in the set, the missing one is pink girly bear that contains sweet candy fragrance. 

I am so loving seeing these babies lined up on my desk. So cute!

The cuties contains shea butter and argan oil to moisturize your hands. The cream is light glossy cream that's easily absorbed. It is moisturizing but not sticky. I love to apply these after washing my hands. 

Bottomline, 

Lovely addition on my desk or my friend's desk too! I dont think the cream is fantastic enough for me to repurchase the same variant, but I will purchase if The Face Shop releases new animals.

The Face Shop Lovely ME:EX BeBe Lip Mask

A new trend is on the rage in Korea…  cue from the existence of similar product from The Face Shop and Etude House. I’m sure sooner other brands will follow. Ladies and gents, I’m going to try the lip mask!

Yes, the Korean cosmetic brands think we need more mask in our beauty life. We have the generic sheet face mask, the indulging gel eye mask, the borderline annoying hand mask… and now, lip mask. 

These days my lips is as dry as Sahara, so I grabbed this baby from The Face Shop. 

Each pack contains a set of gel-with-muslin cloth backing mask. One shaped for your upper lip and one for the lower lip.

Upon opening, the gel mask pieces are safely nestled in hard plastic ‘casing’, which you need to open. Then you have to peel both hard plastic backings, to reveal the gel-muslin cloth mask. Put it on your clean lips for 10-20 minutes. As simple as that. 

Now the result…  here’s my before and after… and, please..., pardon the chapped lips....

I can definitely feel that my lip is softer and a little plumper than before. To seal in this effect, I applied lip balm after rinsing the residual ‘serum’ with water. 

Bottomline…

I can say I am happy with the result. This could be my lifesaver during bad-lips-days. yes, will repurchase when needed.

The Face Shop Lovely Me:Ex Magic Pink Powder Mask

Ah… who can say no to packaging as cute as this. Just like my other purchases from The Face Shop or any Korean cosmetic brands … they were largely on impulse, courtesy of the super cute packaging. Dang… I don’t even have extra space in my sink to place this cute tub! Winking blue thing with a band aid on its forehead… how cute! Not to mention the plastic tub looks and feels sturdy too!

Ahem, yes... the product… the mask is a trio… one in smiley coral (Waterful Grapefruit), freckly yellow (Pore purifying Gasshoul) and mine: winking blue Magic Pink Powder. Magic Pink contains calamine and alicyclic acid to ease various skin problems.

I have been fond of calamine based stuff since I tried Lush’s Aqua Marina cleanser and Dreamwash. Especially Dreamwash… I just love the feeling it leaves my skin after sudsing up with it! Back to the mask, the color and texture is light non-dense cream, almost mousse like. The thick mousse mask does smell fresh, making it enjoyable to use.

My skin feels fresh after using this baby. Cooling and refreshing, especially on humid days. The nice thing is, it doesn’t make my skin feel taut after using. Unfortunately, for the easing skin problems claim, I couldn’t verify it, as right now, my skin is having its good skin days…

Bottomline,

Fun mask for summers and humid days. Plus the cute packaging, this is irresistible for me, yet it is not essential. I am happy to have it, yet not dying without it. Repurchase? Most probably yes, if I couldn’t find better calamine based mask when I run out. 

The Face Shop Touch & Shine Dual Eye Color in Gold Bronze 01

This is one of my initial encounter with The Face Shop, a Korean brand which offers body care, skin care and make up line.

This looks perfect for lazy person like myself. Eye shadow on one end, and matching liner on the other end. And most of all, it doesn’t require any sharpening! Yay!

The color is ultra sparkly gold with glitter chunks for the eye shadow and pretty metallic light brown for the liner. Thinner line is swatch with single swipe and the one next to it is done a few times – as you can see, it can be sheer but easily build up.

They glides easily, however doesn’t last very long. I find the liner migrating a few hours after wear. And mine somehow has a little funny smell – I don’t like. Definitely not fragrance, may be just the funny formula.

And the sparkles – it somehow irritates my eyes. Thanks to this, I haven’t purchase The Face Shop make up products for a while...
