Category: Review It!

Haven’t been posting about beauty products for ages! This is one of my purchase from Korea. It was on member discount, less than AUD1! So cheap! Should have buy more but I only bought one bottle of nail polish for this trip, now a bit regret. Good nail polish here is so expensive.

I’ve been trying to get my hand on nude colour nail polish for ages and finally bought this. Many people complimented it and one of the buddies actually asked me whether she could use it or not. Really love this colour.

Applied at least 2 layers to achieve this effect. One layer isn’t enough. The brush isn’t too big or too small, just right for my small fingernails. It lasted about 3-4 days before it chipped resulted from using a lot of my hand for washing and also waitressing.

Good nail polish, great colour, and affordable. ARG! Should buy more.

I was given with LUS Foot Exfoliating Mask to try out. I didn’t dare to use it after reading and seeing the effect as sandals and slippers are my best friend now. I don’t have serious rough, dry feet. Then one week before Christmas, I tried it out.

Benefits include:
– Remove Dead Skin
– Kill germs
– Calm and Relax the surface of your feet
– Moisture the surface of your feet
– Remove Skin Debris
– Kill Bacteria
– Reduce and Remove Wrinkles

I thought I want to have nice feet for Christmas and new year. So I finally used it. Wrapped my feet for two hours in the socks which are infused with the gel. The smell was really a turn off -.-” For the sake of beauty, I didn’t bother hahaha…

The next day (the photo), it started to peel. It got worst day after day and the peeling wasn’t complete even after Christmas. My feet was so dry. Once I forgot to apply lotion to it before heading out, the sight was horrible and had to asked my friend for lotion to reduce the horrendous look of it. I couldn’t stand to see the sight every time after shower and spent almost an hour to peel them off daily ;p However, my feet are much much better now than it previously was.

I didn’t bother to take photos of the time when it was badly peeled. Should have taken the photos but was too engrossed in peeling them myself and only remember about the camera after I’m done with the peeling hehehe…

My verdict? It is effective. If you already have smooth soft feet, then you don’t need this at all. I would suggest you to use LUS Wine Foot Mask as maintenance.

Where to get it?
Supermodel’s Secrets at RM 48 Free Poslaju Peninsular /RM 51 Sabah/Sarawak

Or get it from Sasa outlets in Malaysia.

Was invited to try LUS Wine Hand and Foot Masks 2 months ago. I thought it was a good idea so I agreed to it since it’s summer now and you’ll need nice foot to show off! I’ve been suffering from a bit of peeling and dry heels for quite some times. Finally I got it in November. Only managed to use it in December first thing after exam to pamper myself.

LUS Wine Foot Packs helps to delay the aging process thus keep the skin surface fresh and clean. After usage, your hand and feet will feel increase in elasticity, soft and supple.

BENEFITS
1) Kill Germs & Bacteria
2) Calm’s soothen skin’s surface
3) Moisturizing skin’s surface
4) Remove skin debris
5) Reduce & Remove wrinkles
6) Remove Dead Skin cells

Check out the ingredients. It contains alcohol, well… So obvious! It’s a type of wine mask, what do you expect?

My verdict:
I don’t like the smell. The smell is extremely strong, gosh! However, for the sake of beauty, I put up with the smell. No before and after photo because it shows no difference at all. I felt a bit of effect after using it but after few huors later, it’s back to usual. I guess you just have to use it few times to see the effect. I guess I should use the other mask for the feet first before using this as maintenanace. Will blog about it in a month as need time to see the result.

The Wine Hand Packs are also having the similar benefits.

No before and after photo too. I totally forgot about it ;p

My verdict:
This did show me more obvious effect and lasted for quite awhile along with the constant application of lotion/moisturiser daily. My hands feel soft and less dry. I’ve been using my hand a lot since I’m here, need to wash my clothes and dishes, and also my work requires me to use a lot of my hands.

Again, the smell… I really don’t like the smell. It’s extremely strong. I guess those who like wine might like it but not me.

Christmas is coming, new year is coming, CNY is on the way too… Guess it’s time to show your best to your friends and family during these holiday seasons.

Don’t wait, do get it at Supermodel’s Secrets for RM 12 for 1 packet / RM 30 for 3 packets (1 box) (price quoted without shipping) or get it from Sasa outlets in Malaysia.

Looking and hearing so many people talking about the shatter nail polish, I always wanted to have one but never get to buy one because it’s expensive. Don’t want to spend too much money on nail polish.

Few weeks back, was feeling down and I decided to go on Ebay to see if there’s any nail polish colour that I want to buy to cheer myself up. I’ve been using the same colour for month and wanted a change.

Found shatter nail polish listed in Ebay for only USD8.75 (inclusive of postage). There’s so many colours to choose. I ended up choosing Serena Glam Slam RED. It finally arrived last week.

Did not know how to use it the first time. Found it a bit hard to use. Messed up everything. So I went online to find how to apply it. That night, I tried it again. BINGO! Got it!

The base colour I’m using is Maybelline Forever Strong +Iron in MAUVE ON & ON. The top coat is Express Finish.

It took me awhile to get used to this shatter nail polish. It looked horrible when first applied but the more I looked at it, the more I like it but not on all 10 fingers. I’m having it on all 10 fingers now and kind of regret applying to all of them. I prefer to have it on alternate fingers.

How to apply?
One layer of shatter on top of our base colour is enough. Try to cover the whole nail in one stroke. The brush is enough for me to cover the whole nail in one stroke albeit giving me all the messiness but at the end of the day, those not on the nail can be easily remove. Use whatever you have on the brush instead of getting rid of the excess at the rim. It’s not like normal nail polish. Let it dry thoroughly after applying and you’ll see the magic. You have to be really fast too. Don’t have to worry about the imperfection as once it cracked, it makes no difference. Once it’s fully dried, don’t forget the top coat, it’s a must! Also, make sure the base coat is really dry too.

It will take multiple attmepts to generate the desired effect. Practice makes perfect. Thick layer and thinner layer will have different outcomes.

Those on my fingers, I considered it a success, this is the second attempt. While those on my toes, it’s not what I had expected it to be because I experimented it on my toes after failed the first fingers application ;p

All right! Exam tomorrow. Then I’ll have my holiday (not really a holiday, just study break, still have to work, need to do the project back home that I need to continue and also casual work here to earn extra money for my Korea trip). Less than a month, I’ll be in Korea! Will get to experience snow!! WEEE!!!
