My Opinion:

This is a really concentrated cleansing foam, and you only need a tiny bit to cleanse your face.

 

I didn't really use this to remove my makeup, only to wash my face in the morning, and have been using it for over a month. I never had any problems until recently I've started to have an allergic reaction with this cleanser, I told my husband to finish it off but his face was all red after using it, so it went to the bin.

Application:

My Opinion:

 

Recently the weather has been super humid, daily humidity has been around the 90's (celcius), and my skin has been freaking out.

 

I seriously don't understand how come my skin could be so dry (flaking) with such high humidity???

 

I've tried everything, hyalluronic acid, serum, masks... but I could still see my face cracking, and I don't even have dry skin!!!!

 

Anyway, I found this product at the bottom of my drawer and it was about to expire, so I gave it a go. This is a sleeping mask (something that you put on before you go to bed and rinse it off in the morning), and after applying it I felt a bit stinging (mild), but that went away after a couple of minutes. In the next morning my skin  wasn't flaking anymore, but it was still dry. I've continued using it, and on the third day it didn't sting anymore, and after about a week my skin was back to normal, i.e. greasy.

Although this masks claims to have whitening properties I didn't notice, but it was great in terms of hydration.

My Opinion:

This is an Asia exclusive product for acnes, and I think this is only good for the occasional break outs, not something for those hard to tackle acnes.

 

From my experience this product does work in drying out your acnes without drying out your skin, but this stuffs works really slow, I had this spot on my chin for nearly a week and it has finally started to fade and I've been religiously using this stuff every day and night after cleansing my skin.

 

Overall, this is a really mild product for acne that is convenient to have it at home, but it won't do miracles.

- Rosa Canina extracts, rich in antioxidant flavonoids, provide potent protection.

- Rosamine, a floral pigment obtained from micronized rose petals, gives an "instant healthy glow" effect.

My Opinion:

 

This is the most expensive tinted moisturizer that I've ever purchase, and I definetly don't think is worth it.

 

I usually prefer something lighter during the hot summer days, and got this mainly to even out my skin tone, I wasn't expecting it to have much coverage, but was really surprise when I found out that it has got zero coverage, it felt more like a moisturizer rather than something tinted.

 

I've been using this to sheer out my thicker foundations, in other words mixing my own tinted moisturizer with a tinted moisturizer, I know this sounds really silly, but this product was so expensive that I was determine to finish it off.

Majolica Majorca Pressed Pore Cover

Contents: 10g
Price: HK$158.00
Local of Purchase: Watsons

Shiseido Majolica Majorca Pressed Pore Cover. Visible pores disappear with just one coat. A powder that leaves skin looking and feeling matt, soft and smooth. A powder that leaves skin immaculate like an angel. Formulated with three different powerful powders for an exquisite balance, an amazing and satisfying smoothness continues for hours.

 

Ingredients: Talc, Polyethylene, Diisostearyl malate, Polymethyl Methacrylate, Calcium Stearate, Hydrogenated Polydecene, Triethylhexanoin, Silica, Sorbitan sesquiisostearate, Citric Acid, Sodium phosphate, Tocopherol, Chlorphenesin, Mica, Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides

 

My Opinion:

This is a translucent powder that I've been using to set my makeup, and I didn't really notice my pores disappearing after using it.

It did help slightly with oil control, but since this product is marketed to cover pores, it did not deliver.

However as a setting powder I've really liked it, it's very smooth, doesn't look powdery and it didn't cake. I think this is one of the best drugstore translucent/setting powder that I've tried so far.

My only complain is the case, the pan didn't really stay put in the case, if I turn over the case the pan will fall out, and although I do not use the sponge (I prefer to apply it with a brush), if I close the case without the sponge the pan will still move around, and since I'm afraid that the powder might shatter, I had to leave the sponge in. I'm suspecting that I got a broken case because I've read a few reviews about this product but nobody seems to complaining about the case.

Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh

Top Notes: Grapefruit, Green Notes, Raspberry, Pear
Heart: Jasmine, Rose, Violet, Litchi, Apple Blossom
Base: Musk, Virginia Cedar, Plum

My Opinion:

 

This fragrance smells nothing fruity, I've only detected a bunch of flowery scent. Although I'm not a huge fan of floral scents, it's bearable and it will work for me during the summer, it feels fresh, but it doesn't last.
