Grace's One Fullfiling Life

HI Sweeties!

Finally a post that i have been planning for a long time! I want to make this right and perfect as all the products that i am going to mention is all my loves!~

Like my header, I am going to show you my cleansing routine for the night. On the Day, I basically just wash my face with the same cleanser so there is nothing to show.

Alright! Cut all this blabbering and let me start!

Product 1 used:

Oil Specialist Brightening Oil

It claims:
A cleansing oil that helps brighten dark skin, cleansing impurities and thick makeup with smooth touch, and removes debris from dead skin cells, which gives glow to the skin

Size: 200ml
Skin Type: All Skin Types
Suggested for: Whitening

I have been using this once it launched. This products just remains me of Shu Umera's cleansing oil. Having different type of cleansing oil with different purpose. They have a total of 4 different face cleansing oil from this line.

It's available in the following types:

- FRESH CLEANSING OIL (Cherryblossom)

- BRIGHTENING CLEANSING OIL (Prune)

- ANTI-AGING CLEANSING OIL (Green Tea and Acai Berry)
- ENRICHED CLEANSING OIL (Camellia and Avocado)

First, I am attracted by the packaging. I am such a sucker of packaging. haha~ I was also attracted by the idea of having different type of cleansing oil just like the Shu Umera's. Shu Umera is just too ex! I like spending too much on my cleansing oil. I am poor.... x} And next thing attract me the most is the fragrance of it!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! It's so floral! As if I am putting flower on my face<3<3. I don't really like the oil based kind of makeup remover (come on, who like putting oil on their face??? What if my pores is clogged???) but I thought i should try~

My experience:

The first touch of the oil on my face kinda gross as i never used oil-based remover before. However, after rubbing them into my skin. the gross feeling i got disappear and i starts enjoying it! Its not as that oily like the fancl cleansing oil that i tried before. And after rubbing them, my makeup was easily breaking up without any force! I use this on my eyes at the last step to soften my mascara and eyeliner first. I really does it's job! And that's not all, the fragrance of the oil somehow allow me to enjoy this step of cleansing rather than "get over it and done" thoughts.

Then when i began rinsing them off (which i will rinse them after my eye makeup remover steps), the clear oil on my face turns milky. It's due to the contact of the water. This causes the cleansing oil to be removed from my face much easier! It doesn't went into my eyes too!

Pros:

Remove your makeup really well and easily. Does what it claims.
Is for all skintype
No clogged pores experience at all!
Smells real good!

Cons:

Oil-based, so not everyone will like it

I have already used 2 bottles of it and are still loving it~ Cost is reasonable too at S$26. Even my sister-in-law is using this! I don't know though that it's brighten my face a not. It might works or might not as i didn't know whether this is the product that cause my face to be brighter. In all, I love it a lot!

Product 2 used:

Rice Water Bright Lip & Eye Remover

It claims:
As an Emulsion in Toner formula, it is separated into 2 layers with milk-colored emulsion on top and clear water base on bottom. Keeps the eye and mouth area from dehydrating, removing makeup without irritation.

Size:120ml
Skin Type: All Skin Types
Suggested for: Whitening

This product is recommended by my sister-in-law. She has been using this for years! Before that, my second sister reccomend me this too but I always thought that there is no use for using eye & lip makeup remover if your face makeup remover works. I bought my first bottle because fake eyelashes' glue is really difficult to clean out! I am really happy that this product is oil-free too. However, I am not a believer on what they claim since you can obviously sees 2 different layers in the bottles. However, since a lot of people around it tells me how good it is.

My experience:

I was always really forgetful when i first used this product. Or should i say lazy. It's either laziness kills it or forgetting to shake it kills it. But eventually i am used to this steps and can't not skip it! I have to say, "The Faceshop" product is just to nice to smell!!!! gosh! haha~ I will use this with 1 or 2 piece of cotton pads and place them on my eyes for about 30secs so to melt the eyes makeup down. After that, i will lightly wipe them from different directions. Top to bottom, left to right, Bottom to top(mainly for the eyeliner on my waterline and my mascara). Most of them will disappear! Except for 1 area, My upper waterline. There is always abit left inbetween my lashes! So if this happens, I will use a cotton bud soaked with the remover solutions and lightly wipe them. They cames off easily~ I have already uses them product for more than 2 years and uses bottles(5-6?) of it~

Pros:

Remove your makeup really well and delicately.
Is for all skintype
Do not experience any milia seeds (oil seeds around the eyes)
Not oily at all, suitable to use it even without washing them away after that.
Smells real good!

Cons:

To me, due to the watery solutions, uses up pretty fast (about 2-3 months duration)

Product 3 used:

Brightening Rice Water Cleansing Foam

It claims:
Soft, creamy lather provides gentle cleansing that last during cleansing.

Size: 150ml
Skin Type: All Skin Types
Suggested for: Whitening

This is one product that i have use the longest of all. Previously, I always have rough patches around my chin and at my jawline area. This is when i did not takes care of my skin properly. My Sister-in-law introduced me this and says this is really good for sensitive skin and dry skin. Although i have oily skin, i thought i should give it a try.

My experience:

I have to say this product really feels like cream! A denser wipe cream, i say. This products works best with a bit of water for it to lather. And the product just glide on really smoothly on my skin. At first, I am not used to it as i previously prefer those cleanser with beads, the harsher kind. While lathering, your face will gradually turns white, meaning it's much better and it's the foam that are cleansing your skin. So more foam, the better. After rinsing it off, you can really feels your skin to be really clean but moisture at the same time. Not the dry up clean feel. This is the main reason why i like it. I have already used properly 10 tubes of this. Each tube can last at least 4 months. I kinda used up faster ever since i have Clarisonic Mia2 though... haha

Pros:

A really smooth texture
For all skintype. (really good for sensitive and dry skin)
Lather really well
Feels moisture after using too
Have really good amount of product to it!

Cons:

Hurts when went into eyes

2 words... Love it! haha... Really have nothing to it since i have already uses this for so long. I always have a backup with me~

Product 4 used(LAST):

Clarisonic Mia 2 Sonic Skin Cleansing System (Pink)

It claims:

Using Sonic Technology, Clarisonic’s patented micro-massage motion works within skin’s natural elasticity to gently remove the impurities traditional methods leave behind- leaving skin softer, smoother and more beautiful.

Prepares skin for better absorption of creams, serums and moisturizers
Gentle enough to use 2x a day

Kit Includes

Clarisonic Mia 2
Universal Voltage Charger
Sensitive Brush Head
1 oz. trial size cleanser
Protective travel case

Clarisonic cleansing system is something that i have always wanted! I have been looking at it for more than 2 years, or maybe 3 years. I heard alot of good review about this from the youtube beauty vlogger and blogger too. However, the only thing that have restricted me to buy is the price. Also, on earlier days, you can't find Clarisonic locally in Singapore. It's only on this year March when one of my close neighbour are going to America that I have decided to buy it. Maybe because I am kinda over the "amazing makeup" that doesn't excite me at all currently. Also, it's so much cheaper buying them in the States! Singapore just sarted to sells them at S$249. Mine cost less than S$200. I can't remember the exact price... Sorry~

My experience:

Before using the Clarisonic, you will have to charge them which takes hell lot of a time to charge and I totally do not understand why. I think i took 1 full day to charge them.

Before you start, you will need to know that you will have to section you face into different part. Forehead (20 seconds), nose/chin (20 seconds), and both cheeks (10 seconds each). I didn't really follow the steps as I am just used to start from my cheeks then to my forehead then to my nose/chin. However, the time given are almost the same for all sections. I didn't feel any pain from the brush at all. The bristle is really soft, unlike the img shown. I use a bit of a force a first but realised it's wrong to do that as after cleansing my face, I can see a bit of redness there.

For the first week after about 30min from cleansing, my face turns really oily. And i am serious, real oily. I got shocked and later realised that it's common for beginner as our skin are not used that "clean face" we have. Therefore, they produce more oil to moisture our face. It was said that your face will be more oily than usual for 2 weeks. Some of my friends around be (whom i introduced them this alot! hehex) experience some breakouts. However, the breakouts recover really fast. Till now, i always use this at night.

So after using for more than 3 months, I felt that my skin is much smoother and cleaner. My blackheads are not so obvious too. I do feel that my skin is much brighter for the first 1-2 month but now, i am not very sure (as i am not sure if it is my demand is higher?) But i know that a lot of people can really see the difference and i receive a few compliments:) The most most MOST IMPORTANT THING is that I can really feels my face have much better absorption on my skincare products! This is not just from but my colleagues too!

Pros:

Can cleanse your face much better
makes your face brighter (this really depends on your own skin)
reduce blackhead (personally)
act as daily exfoliation
cause better absorption of creams, serums and moisturizers
magnetic charger
compact, comes with good protection covers too

Cons:

That stupid price! sob sob
head brush is expensive too!
brush wasn't easy to dry even with holes on the cap to protect damage
charging time is too long!
might not be suitable for all (though they have sensitive brush head, some might still not like it)

I love this alot! Although i have a few complaints to it, but i really like the fact that my face feels clean everyday. Especially for me, i put makeup almost everyday so i really want a clean face to put my skincare. If not, there is no point in my skincare product since it can penetrate in. However, due to the price, if you would to ask me whether is it worth buying, i would say yes if you have that extra money. I personally took almost 3 years for my decision to buying it~

I hope this LONG post helps~ Below is my youtube video on how i use them:)

LIKE IF YOU THINK IT'S GOOD! HEHEHEX

Recently, I have been obsessed with cream blushes. I have a few cream blushes that i really loves and would like to review on them. The first one i will talk about will be:

Kiss Me Heavy Rotation Creamy Cheeks in 01 Baby Pink

It claims:

The Kiss Me Heavy Rotation Creamy Cheeks is a cream blush that tints the cheeks. It is known to last longer than powder blushes. It moisturises the skin while keeping it smooth but leaves no stickiness. It contains Collagen, Hyaluronic acid and Chamomile extract.

I was exploring the drugstore cream blushes in Singapore and this caught my eyes due to the model "overly flushed" cheeks.

So of all cream blushes i saw, this is the most attractive one. I have never tried Japanese cream blushes before too. Weighing 7g, It cost me S$15.90 which is consider a cheaper blush in Singapore.

What I really LOVE about this product is that it comes in a tube. Which means it's much more hygienic compared to the commonly used container. The tube is not that hard that makes it easy to control the amount squeeze. The size of it makes it easy to bring them out too. Overall, I love how the packaging is.

So now to the product itself. I have to say, when i first used it, I was really disappointed. Somehow, the colour just don't shows. At first, i thought my skin (medium light) was too dark to use this product. The texture of it is very creamy. However, after my lasik, i decided to try it again. I realised that it's my specular that makes the colour not shown. The shadow of it have makes it invisible. Not only that, the way that i apply is very different too. Somehow, it gives a very nice flush to my cheeks. More like a "no makeup" cheeks. Till then, this becomes my regular.

How to use:

Amount needed for each cheek @.@

Using patting motion, spread the product out to the desired area

Continue to pat it until you got think is enough. It might still feel a bit sticky so don't worry~

Do not over blend it as it might wipe off the colour.

To fully set it to let it stay longer, you can use your loose powder or a similar cheek powder (I recommend Candy Doll, peach pink).

Pros:

Affordable
Very Hygienic, comes in a tube
Very blendable, smooth
Gives off a nice flush of colour, very natural
Long lasting

Cons:

Takes time to set
Not for Dark skin tone
Not for People who wear spectacular.

In all, it's a good product for people with fair - medium skin. For people who wear spectacular, we might need to consider. I have to say I really love this product! :)))

*Video will be up soon showing how i use this product:)

xoxo~
