Elishacoy Organic Facial Essence Mask

Today, I am going to introduce a mask which I received recently : The Elishacoy Organic Facial Essence Mask.



I am glad the essence of this mask is of organic origins. With some other masks of ingredients I am unsure of, I actually don't feel that secure letting the essence seep into the skin. It is of importance in the things they use in this essence, which can harm or do goodness to your skin.





After effect is well-hydrated skin with some radiance detected. And the psychological enefits are present too, as the fragrance is relaxing to the senses. Of course, feeling good with beneficial functions of the organic ingredients adds up too.

There is a range of masks for different skin types and age groups. The price for Elishacoy Organic Facial Essence Mask is SGD22.90 for 5 pieces per box.
You can get Elishacoy masks at www.secretive.sg as well as John Little Departmental Store.

Elishacoy Always Triple BB Cream

Elishacoy Always Triple BB Cream review :



I was given this product to try, and here is what I found out :

The colour is natural and is a good coverage base for my makeup to stay put for the whole day. The texture of this cream enables it to be easily applied and blended in, and creates a natural and nude look. I love that it does not leave a sticky film. It brightens up the face instantly, giving a nice soft dewy glow.

The coverage of this BB cream is quite good, and we can skip the concealor step completely unless there is serious marks to conceal, whereby a foundation is recommended on top of this BB cream. When using it below the eye area, I gently pad in this BB cream layer by layer, which effectively conceals the dark circles without giving me the cakey look.

I prefer to use this cream alone without any application of loose powder thereafter, as I prefer the nice dewy glow.

I love the wonderful ingredients in this BB cream. It contains Royal Jelly Extract, caviar Extract, Rose hip Extract, acerola Extract, mulberry Extract, Portulaca Extract, Vitamin E.

One tube can last for a long time, as one can cover a wide area with just a little of it.

It is a great product and everyone should try it!

It can be bought at John Little at S$43.00/50ml

My review :

This is an interesting workshop. We were shown many things that it would be nice for a lady to take note of, eg the elegant way of wearing a jacket, as well as how to choose the right clothes. The colours one can wear are divided into seasons eg if you look nice in those pink and pastel shades, you are a spring or summer person, and if you look better in darker shades, you are an autumn or winter person.

To me, the highlight is the makeup demo. The model was transformed dramatically through the right use of their in-house makeup range, which are reasonably priced. My favourite is their mineral powder range.

The courses available are the basic grooming courses which one has to take before one can proceed to the EQ course, which is one of the more popular courses in the academy.

Sephora’s Face Normal Skin Tinted moisturiser SPF 15

Sephora’s Face Normal Skin Tinted Moisturizer as a sheer tinted base to add glow to my skin. This product hydrates the skin – as it is told on the product label – but I recommend combining face lotion with it if you have dry skin.

When I used it for the first time, it wasn’t any special from any tinted moisturizers out there. By using it for a period of time, I did see some improvement and maybe some radiance on my skin. It did give my skin glow, but using it alone will not conceal flaws etc, you need to apply other products too. Just dab concealer to the unwanted spots on your face and eyes.

It is sheer to the extent that there is no trace of color, only shimmer, radiance, and it blends right through the skin absorbing its nutrients. To get the best out of it, do not use powder.

Review : Vichy Laboratories Thermal Spa Water

Vichy thermal spa water is 100% pure and naturally rich with rare minerals. It is clinically proven to have health benefits for your skin: regenerating, antioxidant, soothing and protective. Recommended for sensitive skin.

It is designed to give your skin that "pick me up" feeling, whether it be after a long day of travelling, adding that finishing touch to your make up or even battling the hot summer weather.

It is unscented. After leaving it on face for a few minutes, blot off the excess and then proceed with the rest of the skin care routine.

After using it for awhile, skin is soft and supple and hydrated. It makes applying products like moisturiser and eye cream alot easier. My skin absorbs everything I use much better than before. My dry patches are gone.

Natural DIY masks

Face masks are considered to be instant beauty treatments in skin tightening, reduces wrinkles, closes pores, moisturizes and exfoliates. Here are a few such home-made DIY masks.

Cleansing Mask – 3tsp of multani mitti, 1 tsp curd, ½ a tomato and 5 drops of orange essential oil can be made into a paste and applied on face. Wash off after twenty minutes.

Conditioning Mask – 1gg white, 2tsp almond oil, 5 drops of geranium essential oil, 1 tsp cornflower and 1 tsp honey could be blended together and applied on face. Rinse with warm water after fifteen minutes.

Creamy Mask – 1 ripe banana, 2tsp sunflower oil, 1 egg yolk, 5drops rose essential oil could be mashed together and applied on the face and washed after fifteen minutes.

Radiance Mask – 50gms of fruits and vegetables such as apple, papaya, tomato, lettuce, and grapes could be chopped and mashed together. Add 3 drops of lemon essential oil and 2tsp of yogurt. Wait for fifteen minutes and wash off.

However, while applying the masks care should be taken on the following points:

• Ensure that the mask doesnot remain in the skin for more than twenty minutes.
• The mask should always be applied on clean skin.
• While applying a mask, do not avoid the neck region. It is as important as the face.
• Those with sensitive skin should conduct a patch test before application of the mask.
• A mask should never be applied over broken or wounded skin.
