*cookiie; five of my favourite products (short reviews)

Since I don't use/buy new products that often to actually have new favourites every month, I'll just list five of products that I currently like a lot. Coincidentally, four of the five products can be purchased at Sasa.com..maybe I should just stop ordering so much.

Kanebo Kate Deep Eyes Eyeshadow Palette in 'BK-1'

I bought this palette when I was in Hong Kong, because I felt like I "needed" more shimmery eyeshadows. This palette is definitely shimmery and very pigmented, good to use if you are lazy like me and usually just put one colour on the lids.

Kiss Me Goodlash Power Beam Eyes Mascara


Now you know why we're giving away this mascara. This mascara does everything a mascara needs to do: it lengthens, volumizes, holds a curl and doesn't budge for a whole day. However, on bad days when you have been tearing or rubbing in your eyes, it can flake a little. Yes, it flakes rather than smearing or running, so that it won't make you look freaking scary.

Meishoku Delclear Bright & Peel Fruits Peel Peeling Jelly


This product has improved my skin condition a lot. After getting straight bangs for my 18th birthday last year, my forehead started to break out a lot and had been suffering from an endless amount of blackheads. It didn't even go away after I grew out my bangs again. This peeling gel has cleared up most of my forehead and also other areas where I tend to get pimples a lot. My skin still isn't completely flawless (which I believe it will never be), but this product certainly did help me to get a step closer to that.

Silk Whitia Masks


More specifically, the Quick Action Moisturizing Mask and the Pearl Finest Powder Moisturizing Mask. I tried the Quick Action one first on recommendation from Milk and I just thought it was a good mask, like any other good mask. I got them through Sasa.com during a BOGO special offer, so I didn't realize that these are actually quite pricey (US$16.60 for 5 sheets) and didn't batch order them at first. I didn't use them for a long time after using them up, and boy did I miss these. They are the most juiciest and moisturizing sheet masks that I have ever used, so I highly recommend anyone to try them. They're having the BOGO special offer again (hence the pile of goodness on the picture), so get them while you still can!

Laozhongyi Acne Removing Cream


After changing my skincare routine and not keeping you guys updated about it over and over again, I have not once thought of skipping this cream. It gives a really nice tingly feeling when you apply it on your skin, that will soothe and calm your skin immediatly. This is the only moisturizer that have completely gotten rid of my eczema around my nose, so I actually have to keep using it for it to stay that way. I used to have super sensitive skin (especially around my jawline) that would break out at the slightest irritation, but this really helped my skin to become more tolerant. I get this from my beautician so I have no idea where to purchase this online, but I listed this because I thought it is worth mentioning, in case some of you have more access to this brand. If you recognize this brand and know where you can purchase it (online), do let me know~

*cookiie; additional skincare products

Finally, I bought a new tube of my favourite mask again, so I can show you guys what additional products I use. There's not much that I use, but they're definitely necessary if you want to maintain your skin well.

Whenever I use make up, I'll use the Hipitch Deep Cleansing Oil to remove it all at the end of the day. For exfoliating, I use Yes to Carrots Gentle Exfoliating Facial Cleanser. This exfoliator works for both cleansing and exfoliating, so I would skip the cleanser if I'm using this. I exfoliate about once in 2 weeks.

After exfoliating, I would always put on a mask to prevent my skin being too dry. Currently, I'm using these masks:

Silk Whitia Quick Action Moisturizing Mask
Artistry Moisture Intense Masque


These two masks are mainly meant for moisturizing. Before I realized how important moisturizing was, my main priority was to minimize my acne as much as possible. Therefore, I ordered these:

Cettua Trouble Clear Essence Mask
COSMED PIMPLE OFF Anti-Pimple & Pore Minimizing Purifying Treatment Mask

I've also been wondering how to get rid of black- and whiteheads lately, but so far I haven't tried anything else but the traditional nose strips. However, I purchased the Shiseido Laboratories Evenese Dr Mask II Sensitive Skin Care (pfft, talk about long names), but I haven't tried it out yet. So far, I'm not so thrilled by the inconvenient packaging.


That's basically all the additional facial products that I use. In order to not make this post too long, I'll write another post about how I use these products and some other skincare tips. I will also update my daily skincare routine post soon, so please check that out later if you've got a similar skintype. :) Oh, and if anyone want any of these products reviewed, don't hesitate to request it by commenting~
