Something came last week!

*Happy, happy, joy, joy! My mini loot just came in time c/o JRS Express*
*Here they are: Etude House BB Bright Cream, Skinfood Gold Caviar Lifting Prime Skin, Missha Liquid Foundation & Missha Near Skin Visible Deep Wrinkle filler*
Most of them are anti-aging stuff, but I don’t mind since I’m way past my pubescent years. 
It’s sad, I know. And, to think, I remember hearing from somewhere that one should be more concerned about aging when he/she reaches 25 years old. I’m not 25 yet, but it doesn’t hurt starting early, right? 
Well, these are just samples good for making reviews on my Vanity Blog. Since I don’t have any visible wrinkles yet, the Missha wrinkle filler will go to either my mom or my grandmom.
Still looking forward for more BB Cream samples. Or, I guess, I just hafta buy some in full size. Hmmm…
Review: Skinfood Black Sugar Wash-Off Mask
Posted by roanne in Beauty Reviews, Product Reviews, Skin Care, Skinfood on March 24, 2009
Right now, I’m heaped with beauty topic ideas to blog on. One product I dearly remember is this wash-off mask from Skinfood.
Skinfood, a Korean beauty product brand, has been making raves here in the Philippines. The Skinfood BB Cream was the first blemish balm cream available in the Philippines, as far as I’m concerned. As soon as I got ahold of one, I also tried using product samples included in my purchase. 
One of which was the Skinfood Black Sugar Mask. It’s an exfoliating wash-off scrub-slash-mask that leaves skin clean and revitalized. It has this sugar bits that thoroughly sloughs off oil and grime from the skin, whilst its self-heating properties allow pores to open and allow the mask’s vitamins and minerals to be absorbed by the skin.
Using it is quite simple. After cleansing, gently scrub onto the skin; let it sit for about 10-15 minutes; and finally, wash it off with lukewarm water. Avoid over-scrubbing as the sugar/salt bits may abrade your skin, causing irritation and more skin damage. And, when I say “gentle”, I mean slowly and carefully scrubbing your skin. On the other hand, I will not recommend this product to those with sensitive skin types.
Likes
I love the exfoliating properties of Skinfood Black Sugar Mask. You can actually feel it scrubbing against your skin, and it really leaves a smooth and polished texture afterwards. I also did not experience any itching or discomfort while letting the product sit in for about 10 minutes [as a mask]. Lastly, it’s really easy to rinse off and leaves the skin squeaky clean without over-drying it. It does not leave a slippery, soap-like feel, unlike other wash-off masks.
Dislikes
The only thing I dislike about this product is the smell. It’s disturbing, IMHO. It really has a medicated scent.
Skinfood Black Sugar Mask is best used occasionally. I don’t see using it regularly, lest it may irritate my skin in the long run due to its not-so-fine sugar scrub particles. I can use it a night before a special occasion, as it delivers instant results–such as a well-polished, glowing look.
In the meantime, check some of the newest anti-aging arsenals and how to get a timeless, youthful look.
Skinfood Ginkgo Blemish Balm Cream
Posted by roanne in BB Cream, Beauty Reviews, Blemish Balm, Product Reviews, Skin Care, Skinfood on September 22, 2007
The blemish balm cream, commonly known as bb cream, has been a cult favorite in other Asian countries particularly Korea, Singapore and Taiwan (reviews here). If my research’s right, I think it originated in Korea and has been carried out by several brands including BRTC, Misscha, TFS and Skinfood to name a few. Many have claimed that this so-called miraculous cream does wonders on their skin, making it clear, supple and youthfully glowing.
Since I drool over Korean porcelain skin a lot, I’ve managed to grab one as soon as possible. I scoured Korean brands available here in the local market like The Face Shop and Skinfood but to no avail. Skinfood, however, told me that this new product of theirs would be launched soon and they’d contact me as soon as it’s available. So, I waited for the Skinfood SA’s text until last Saturday, she told me that the product has arrived and is now ready for purchase!
I was so giddy, I immediately ran to SM Megamall after work. And, finally, I got ahold of this precious Skinfood Ginkgo BB Cream! Skinfood is tad pricier than TFS, but what the heck, it’s still relatively cheaper compared to MAC.
