My aunt bought Daiso Make Up Remover Wet Tissues from Singapore during her last trip there. I’ve been wanting to try to use wet tissues to remove make up but never got to it. So when I got this, I tried it out and I don’t like it. Not sure how much it cost though.

It’s not effective in removing heavy makeup, not suitable for use on the eyes too. It stung like crazy! -.-” My eye really hurt when I accidentally got it into my eyes when I wanted to remove my mascara. Luckily I had removed my contact lens that time. The instructions also stated that it shouldn’t be used when you are wearing contact lens. It couldn’t remove the mascara and eyeliner easily too. One wipe as claimed on the packaging didn’t work for me.

So I only use this when I have very light make up on and also avoid the eye areas.

My sis is back, when she’s back, I would have more makeup and skincare products to play with. I had tried out tonnes of them last year but I was silly enough that I deleted all the photos because I thought I had already transferred them earlier but I didn’t. -.-” So I got nothing to share at all.

I don’t think you can find L’Oreal Lash Architect Carbon Gloss Mascara / CIL Architecte Carbon Gloss here. My sis bought it from UK. It’s waterproof but not oil proof, means it’s going to smudge and give you panda eyes at the end of the day. It smudged on me after 6 hours of using it.

Discover Lash Architect Carbon Gloss for dramatic, ultra-black lashes to last you through the night. Lashes look longer and thicker from every angle thanks to the ‘3D effect’ formula, while the patented spiral brush gives volume and separation from root to tip.

The waterproof formula allows a smudge free, long-lasting result. With carbon black pigments this is our glossiest, blackest mascara yet!

Left: Bare lashes.

Right: With L’Oreal Lash Architect Carbon Gloss Mascara. It did lengthen, I was amazed with the lengthening ability.

Left: Can you see every single strand of lash? Even my lower lashes too. Well… Effect was good but really not recommeded for lower lashes if you are the kind that prone to smudges.

Right: It seems so much longer and as if I applied many coats but I only had 2 coats on. It seems like it also pumped up the volume of the lashes. It also gave the effect of glossy strands of lashes. Interesting.

I found out that it’s hard to remove from various reviews but I didn’t encounter this problem at all. It’s quite easy to remove for me.

Of all the mascaras I had tried, this one gave the most dramatic effect. Will I buy it? Unless it doesn’t smudge on me, can’t get it here anyway, so no point ;p

I got La Peau SS Mask Renew ‘n’ Purify as a prize somewhere early this year. I tried searching for more information about it online because I’m not so sure how to use it but couldn’t locate any -.-”

The smell: Strong minty smell. You can see the ingredients in the picture on the right. It has tea tea extract in there. Judging from the ingredients, it’s suitable for those suffering from acne, blackheads, and whiteheads.

Effect: I didn’t feel my face was renewed or purified. No effect, except random itchiness here and there, on and off. No redness though. I guess it’s not suitable for me even though I do suffer from blackheads and whiteheads.

Comment: I found out that it actually allowed me to use this on the eye areas. There’s flaps on the mask to cover the eyes. I was quite skeptical about it due to the ingredients. However, I did cover my eyes with it. It’s so messy, dripping everywhere. There were so much essence left in the packet, I applied to my whole body and still had a lot left. I was so tempted to pour them into empty bottle so that I can use them some other time. Hmm… Wonder can do like this or not?

I used it after Cellnique Advanced Bio Renewal Masque. Then I didn’t wash the residue La Peau SS Mask off and I massaged it in. I forgot all about toning and directly moisturized. I’m really not so sure what I did was correct or not. As I mentioned earlier I couldn’t find the way to use it online and it didn’t mention anything on the packet.

Will I buy again?: Not suitable for me and it’s only available from Slimming Sanctuary, if not mistaken. No idea of the price as I got it from a mini contest.

I decided to buy Bioglo Blackhead Lotion when it was introduced by Cosway because it seemed very hassle free. It’s about RM30 or less if I’m not mistaken. This is introductory price. Actual price is more than RM30.

The smell: Strong minty smell.

Texture: Watery.

Effect: It didn’t work for me. No blackheads came out from my nose but they were all suddenly visible with naked eyes. I guess maybe it’s because of me using the shortcut way ;p I didn’t give it a sauna effect, too much work, such a hassle. After using it, my pores were widely opened -.-” Blackheads were showing up, it’s like all those hidden blackheads all came up to the surface. Looked pretty yucky. Too bad, I couldn’t get them out. I might not be pressing it the right way also.

However, my brother said it works on him. Well… It might work if I don’t do shortcut hahaha… I don’t use it anymore, too much of hassle.

I might try to use it again but don’t know when, I hate the hassle. The first time I used it was somewhere early this year, at least more than 3 months ago. I’ll just stick to the good old Bioglo ClearPore Deep Cleansing Mask.

Will I buy again?: No because it requires too much work.
