Park Shin Hye, Mamonde's brand ambassador and well-known actress in Korea was officiate the launch of the Mamonde Red Energy Recovery Serum at Watsons Malaysia stores nationwide.

Mamonde has launched the latest product, the Red Energy Recovery Serum that addresses skin aging and helps to recover and revitalize exhausted skin, bringing it back to its optimal condition. 

This serum is made up of two key ingredients, pomegranate and Blossoming EnergyÔ, which creates smooth and supple skin that glows from within by strengthening the skin’s moisture barrier and promoting the skin’s turnover cycle.

Park Shin Hye was welcomed by the crowd who packed the centre court of Mid Valley Megamall.

The Blossoming Energy, derived from a 28-year study of flowers is Mamonde’s latest innovation. It is a special active ingredient that helps to boost skin’s energy. Through the observation of flowers throughout their lifecycle; inclusive of changes in colour and temperature, Mamonde has discovered a unique component that helps flowers to bloom and survive longer than its usual lifespan. This component was extracted, tested on skin and has since been developed to become the core ingredient for the Red Energy Recovery Serum, bringing forth properties that boosts skin’s energy and return it to its healthiest state.

Mamonde Malaysia has expanded its sales channels to over 50 Watsons Malaysia stores nationwide. The launch of Mamonde into Watsons stores nationwide is in line with Amorepacific’s global partnership with A.S Watsons Group to widen its distribution platform for both online and offline.

Great news to share that the Red Energy Recovery Serum is now available at selected Watsons stores and on Watsons’ online website, for RM130 (30ml)

Taking care of your skin should be an important part of your health. Do you know our skin also need vitamins to keep your skin looking healthy and youthful too? I have a great news would like to share! Mamonde, the Korean beauty brand has recently added multivitamin series into its skincare line!

I have received two products from Mamonde Malaysia which are Vital Vitamin Essence and Cream.

This skincare series includes 6 types of vitamin complex including vitamin B3, B5, F, E, C and P, composed of Bitter Orange Flower extract for healthy skin delivers energy to recharge the skin for clearer, more hydrated skin.

What's the benefits of 6 Vitamins Complex?

Vitamin F: provides a smoothening effect for smoother and finer looking skin,
Vitamin E: maintain skin elasticity,
Vitamin C: prevent age spots and skin pigmentation, and

Mamonde Vital Vitamin Essence (RM135, 100ml) 

This essence contains antioxidizing vitamins C, E and F that are encapsulated into petal-shaped capsules which burst onto skin as it touches the skin’s surface to give it vitality and help it maintain looking energized. The remaining B3, B5 and P vitamins are incorporated into the essence itself.

 The watery texture also ensures that the product spreads lightly over the skin’s surface and is fully absorbed without leaving a sticky sensation and ensuring the formation of a moisturized and smooth skin barrier!

Mamonde Vital Vitamin Cream (RM135, 50ml)

This Vital Vitamin cream comes in a water gel formula that helps in brightening and replenishing lost moisture.
The cream itself contains vitamins, which are made from natural pigments and are completely safe for sensitive skin. Not only that, it also contains hyaluronic acid and beta-glucan, which together form a smooth moisturizing barrier while providing a healthy glow on skin.

Thanks for reading and see you in next post!

Anneong!
It took me awhile but I'm finally done with the post!
This time I wanna to share my review on My Beauty Red Ginseng & Ginger Gold Hydrogel Mask, & Rice Sheet Mask.

I received them from My Product Co, at the same time would like to say thanks to The Butterfly Project community and mamasan Tammy again for sending me all these masks ❤️

I actually shared some of them with my mom to try out together and see how it works on our skin!

One of the main ingredients in their mask is Natural Honey Extract, which was famous for its vitamins, amino acids, minerals, and unusually high concentration of natural antioxidants that purify and protects the skin.  All their masks are rigorously tested and dermatology approved. Therefore, they are actually suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin as well.
They also collaborated with the Yoonji Cosmetics, the Korea company that created hydrogel!

Their masks are free from 8 harmful ingredients:
Formaldehyde, Paraben, Sulfate Amine, Mineral Oil, Benzyl Alcohol, Silicone, Coal Tar Dyes and Animal-derived Ingredients.

Ginseng Gold Hydrogel Mask (USD $25-5pcs)
This hydrogel mask contains Korean Red Ginseng, which is well-known ingredients for anti-aging, improve complexion and helps in reducing black spots on the face.

I like the scent of Ginseng Gold Hydrogel Mask as it is strong but in a very natural way, but if the smell of ginseng is not for you, you might want to avoid this.

It takes some time to put it on my face as the mask are separate and easily get tear. Surprisingly, I was impressed with the results as I can feel my skin immediately hydrated and become bouncy! It also cooling my skin which I think is the right timing to use it as the weather in Malaysia is very humid now. I'm not a fan of hydrogel mask as I feel it will dry out very fast but I think I will start loving it ❤️

The scent is not as obvious as Red Ginseng but it gives the same results as Red Ginseng. One thing I liked about their hydrogel mask is it adheres to skin perfectly so there is no fear of sliding off. Also, it leaves my skin looking brighter and more radiant. Definitely will recommend to my friends!

My Beauty Rice Sheet Mask (USD $9-3pcs)
This mask is approved by KFDA for its effect in helping wrinkles improvement and skin brightening. As we know that Rice essences are commonly found in most of the toner products as it is good in healing acne and cooling down the redness of an outbreak. It also acts as an astringent on the skin and tightening the pores. Compared with the other two gold hydrogel masks, the cost for Rice sheet mask is more affordable.

(feat. Mommy a.k.a my face mask model 😂)
 Me and my mom love this Rice Sheet Mask as it contains a lot of essences. Well, I'd assume there are no complaints about extra essences in mask haha! We can still be using the extra essences on our legs and arms. This mask was very moisturizing, with no noticeable brightening and a little redness relief. The material also makes us feel soft and comfortable on our skin. We can clearly see our skin has become brighter and smoother.

Overall, I would say I couldn't decide which one is the best mask because all are my favourite! The hydrating effects of these masks stand out from the crowd, and the calming and cooling effects seal the deal. Although the cost is slightly higher than the normal masks it delivered more intensive benefits to my skin, so I think is totally worth it!

That's all about my reviews on My Beauty Mask, I hope you guys enjoy reading!
Bye bye~

So today I'm finally here to share my review on A:CONCEPT Make Your Concept Black Set!!!
I have received this box few weeks ago and I can't wait to show you what's inside the box and of course, whether the box is worth to buy.

This is how A:CONCEPT Make Your Concept Black Set looks like!
It's a great gift idea for Christmas Day or your BFF Birthday!

There are 4 items inside this A:CONCEPT Make Your Concept Black Set:

All in One Brightening Cushion
Everything in A: Lip & Cheek
-Red Orange
- Coral
All in One Brightening Cushion(Refill)

So the first product that I'm going to test out is A:CONCEPT's best seller, All in One Brightening Cushion! This cushion has SPF50+ PA+++ with whitening and anti-wrinkle function. The cushion design is unique compare with the other beauty brands that I know (as most of the cushions are design in round shape), and it has a light weight too.

You can actually see a hole beside the cushion.

Do you know that this special hole is actually for you to insert the lip & cheek into it! It is easy to carry your cushion, lipstick and blusher for vacation or outing.

Here's the short gif for showing how the lip and cheek take out from cushion.

There are only two shades available for All in One Brightening Cushion: #21 light beige & #23 natural beige, I have pick shade #21 for myself according my skin tone as my face is consider as warm undertone. 

I'm going to test out the coverage of All in One Brightening Cushion on my face now and and let see how it works.

As recently was burning midnight oil to prepare for my finals, I seriously need a products that can cover my dark circles and sick looking.

This is the final outcome!

The shade #21 that I have choose is just perfectly blend well with my skin tone. Also, the coverage of this cushion is fine for my dark circles except some few pimples on face, so it might not suitable to acne skin (in this photo I did not use any concealers on my face). However, as the finish look is in mild dewy, it actually makes my skin looks oily. I will still continue to use it but after applying I might need to use my no sebum powder to reduce my face oiliness.

Ranking: 🌟🌟🌟🌟(4 out of 5)

As I mentioned above, there are two lip products which are from A: CONCEPT Everything in A: lip & cheek. The shades that I have got is Red Orange & Coral. It comes with a tiny stick which is super cute and you can pick either one to insert into the cushion.

Swatches for A: CONCEPT Everything in A: lip & cheek A: Red Orange & Coral.

Application on lip.

I actually like Red Orange as the shade is in bright red matte finish and it is outstanding for light skin tone. Nonetheless, I found it hard to apply smoothly on lips and it is hard to remove as well. I would suggest to use lip blush or finger tips to apply instead of just apply it directly.

Coral is more like nude to light orange shade and it is suitable for daily look. Compared with Red Orange, it is smoother and creamier to apply on lips without drying out. I will prefer the texture of A: Coral.

For blusher, both of shades did a great job in creating natural blush look. I also find out A: Red Orange works well as blusher rather than lipstick.

I decided to apply on my hand instead of showing my face because it is quite hard to see the colour difference. Both looks natural after blending but A: Red Orange is slightly hard to blend compare with A: Coral.

Which look do you prefer the most?

A: Coral

Ranking: 🌟🌟🌟🌟(4 out of 5)

A: Red Orange

Ranking: 🌟🌟🌟(3 out of 5)

Overall, I think that the 3 products inside A:CONCEPT Make Your Concept Black Set is still worth to get even though I have find out some drawbacks for some products. If you ask me whether I will repurchase again, my answer will be YES as you can get A: CONCEPT best seller cushion and refill, two lip and cheek at only RM106 (NP:RM212).

Anneong Berries! I'm back with another product review post!

Applying sunscreen is one of the most important steps for my morning routine as my face is born with freckles. To avoid getting more freckles, I will choose to use sunscreen with high SPF++.

Rather than that, I think most of us experienced chalky and white residue on face after applying the sunscreen too right? Even thought there are many sunscreen products in the market, but it is really difficult to find the prefect sunscreen without sticky and greasy texture, white cast and chemical free.

Recently I have tried out Vella Ultra Hydro Sun Essence which has impressed me more than other brand of sunscreen. 

Vella Ultra Hydro Sun Essence (Aqua Mineral Solution) with SPF50+/PA+++ , is a new concept of UV protection has contain 61% of Hawaii Kona deep sea water, together with 30 kinds of marine plant extract and other plants extracts. Most important thing, it is free from harmful chemical such as Parabeen, Artificial colors, Phenoxyethanol, Triethanolamine, Mineral oil, Benzophenone, Alcohol and etc so sensitive skin also can use as well!

On the other hand, it also claims that Vella Ultra Hydro Sun Essence has whitening and anti-aging improvement effect which I have never heard from other sunscreen before.

Here's a video for more information about Vella Ultra Hydro Sun Essence💕

Tried & Tested

The sun essence are slightly yellowish while squeezing out, yet it will become invisible after completely absorb into skin. It has a light and watery texture which I feel like using a skincare essence rather than sunscreen.

I personally doesn't like product with floral scent. Although there is a slightly floral scents in Vella Ultra Hydro Sun Essence but it is hardly smell it didn't put the sun essence close to your nose, so I think is still acceptable.

Here's the photo to show the before and after apply Vella Ultra Hydro Sun Essence on face

Will I purchase again?

My answer probably would be YES! 

I really can't wait to bring it along for my BKK trip soon! Time to say goodbye to sticky and white residue face during humid weather!
