SK II Facial Treatment Mask Review

Omg I literally just used the SK-II Facial Treatment Mask just an hour ago after I cleansed my face, and here I am, an hour later, penning down my review. THAT IS HOW MUCH I LOVE IT.

During the recent Luxola sale, I jumped on the chance to get my hands on the Pitera Essence Set which consists of: a 75ml SK-II FTE, 30ml Facial Clear Lotion and a piece of Facial Treatment Mask. All for SGD99 before discount! It's a really good deal as a 75ml SK-II FTE already cost SGD99 on its own. Okay so no pictures of the me or the product as I excitedly ripped open the box upon receiving my item, and excitedly ripped off the package to use the mask.

Honestly, I had 0 expectations for the mask because after using the FTE for close to a week, I didn't see any obvious change to my skin texture, perhaps just slightly more hydrated. I just did my usual routine and slapped on some GlamGlow Youth Mud for 10 mins, use my Alpha H Liquid Gold to tone my skin, then applied the SK-II mask as instructed. Firstly, I must say that the cotton mask is thick and of high quality and the essence contained in the packet is sooo generous. It fits my face shape really well too! And I usually have some problems with face masks because they usually don't fit my face shape very well... so I am very impressed. I think I left it on for about 20 mins because there was so much essence that is too precious to be wasted! There was also a good amount left in the packet so I put in my low quality face mask (sobs) that doesn't really fit my face, sealed it up and put it back in the fridge, ready for a second use.

What won me over was the effect after just a mere 20 mins. My face was clearly well hydrated from within, very plumped up (boing boing), somewhat lifted and very dewy! I patted the remaining essence into my face and my skin felt very nice to touch. I had a few blind pimples that grew over the week, and although they have flattened and popped on their own, there was still some pigmentation and redness :( But my face was very refreshed and the redness became only very minimal. There was still a lot of essence absorbed in the mask so I squeeze those out and applied it all over my neck, arms and thighs!

I cannot emphasise how much I love it. I proceeded to tell all my friends how the mask was the bomb and if anyone is going to get anything from SK-II, this is a must. What else can I say but I AM SOLD! SK-II TAKE ALL MY MONEY!

I rarely use or rave about facial masks because I don't usually experience any miracles with them and I'm already contemplating on getting the 6 or 10 pc pack, that is how much I love it. I supposed you're able to get about 2 usages out of 1 pack if you have additional blank cotton face masks at home. If you're actually hesitating on whether you should get this, hesitate no further! Run out and get it now! Or if you're wondering which SK-II product should you invest in (and you already have a skincare routine that you love), I would highly recommend this as it is a really good perk-me-up for the skin!

Till next time,

2014, thus far

It's been too long since the last proper post. I did post irregularly a few times but I've decided to clean up this space for a fresh start!

Biggest milestone achieved this year would be, I've finally GRADUATED! Of course with that being said the graduation ceremony would only be held next year because, private uni. I haven't gone for a graduation trip as well since I've been working on the online business since exams ended. Let's hope that we'll be able to plan something at the end of the year! And this just reminded me that we were at Bali last year around this time, bummer.

I have also started accumulating new skincare and makeup over the past few months, hence I've decided to 'restart' my blog to pen down reviews and share the love for the products, which worked for me, with more people! The closet can hardly fit my growing collection anymore... Oh and I have also just ordered new Laneige trouble relief skincare from Luxola a few hours ago. Haha I blame the promotional discount and my accumulated points.

I don't know how long can I keep up with this, but I hope I can. I promise an upcoming skincare/makeup post next!
