Review: Tea Related Masks

Thank you so much for all the congrats on my previous post. I'm really happy for my achievement, it's like a huge rock has been removed from me :D.
I was going to post this reviews post yesterday, but I went out with my friends the whole day for celebration. So, here are the two masks I'm going to review.

Watsons Green Tea Oil Control Facial Mask

Descriptions:

Watsons Green Tea Oil Control Facial Mask contains botanical extracts of Green Tea, Mushroom and Cucumber, which refresh tired and dull skin and improve overall skin texture to reveal skin's natural glow.

My thought:

I got this mask from my friend's sister who went to Taiwan a few months ago. I don't remember how much it was but it's definitely cheap. This mask is so wet that it's dripping when I took it out and looks almost transparent. It fits my face quite well and has a strong green tea scent but I'm okay with it. I left it on for about 30 minutes, and right after I peeled it off, it felt very sticky on my skin. But that stickiness disappeared after 5 minutes or so and my skin became smoother. The next morning, my skin was less oily. Guess that the oil control really works. The down side is I can't find this mask at here nor Google. I've only seen the Watsons Green Tea Essence Anti-Oxidant Facial Mask on google. I think this mask is only available at Taiwan but I might be wrong, please tell me if you know where to get this cause i like this mask :).

Pros:
Good oil control
Cheap
Smoothen skin

Cons:
Not available locally
Sticky
Strong scent

Rating: 3.5/5
Repurchase: Yes (But hard to find)

Superdrug Tea Tree Sensitive Mud Mask

Descriptions (from http://www.superdrug.com/invt/130672):

Superdrug Tea Tree and Peppermint Mud Mask is specially formulated to deeply cleanse and purify pores, leaving skin feeling fresh and clean.

Tea Tree originates from Australia. It is a natural antibacterial agent, known for its antiseptic healing properties. Peppermint oil is renowned for its therapeutic effect on skin disorders and for its cooling sensation.

Tea Tree – The Natural solution for everyday skincare problems.

My thought:

When I saw that it's a tea tree product, I thought the color would be green but it turned out to be white. The tea tree scent is really strong but as I've used to use Tea Tree Oil, it doesn't bother me. I put it on for around 15 minutes and it felt slightly burning on my skin but the feeling was gone right after I rinsed it off. After rinsing, my skin felt really smooth and I could see that my pores became tighter/smaller. But the oil control was just okay cause my skin is still oily on the next morning. I really like this mud mask but too bad I can't find at here too, it's an UK product (I got this from Eve). The package contains 15mL of mud mask and it's enough for 3 uses on me. Overall, I really like this mask, will be searching around for this mask :D.

Pros:
Smoothen skin
Tighten pores
Relatively Cheap (£0.79)

Cons:
Not available locally
Strong scent
Slightly burning

Rating: 4.5/5
Repurchase: Yes! (But it's hard to find as well)

I love these two masks, but both of them are difficult to get. Guess that I won't be using these masks anytime soon... Anyhow, have a great weekend everyone!

It's Still Un-Official But...

I've graduated with double degree (IT and Science)! The official graduation ceremony will be around May or June. Thank you so much for all the support you girls have given to me, I really appreciate every single one of them.

Please excuse this super short post, I just want to share this exciting news of mine with you girls, will be back soon with a longer post ;)

Love you all!

A Tiny Haul

I'm back in Jakarta now! How's everyone's CNY and Valentine's day? Mine was great, had a lot of foods and got quite a handful Hong Baos :D. Didn't celebrate Valentine's day though. Anyway, before I was back in my hometown, I got myself a few things.

Shiseido Eyelash Curler, NYX Concealer in Jar, Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Clarifying Lotion, Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Clearing Moisturizer and Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Clearing Concealer.

Remember that I got a set of SK-II skincare back in the October last year? I didn't review them because i think the miniature set that I got wasn't enough for me to feel the result. And they basically do nothing to me, I'm an impatient person and always want to see immediate result, so I gave up on them and decided to try a new skincare line. Although I saw a lot of mix reviews about Clinique products, I decided to try them and as my stubborn acne refuses to clear up, I got their Anti-Blemish Solutions line. Didn't get the cleanser because I want to finish my BeautyMaker Cleansing Gel first. I'll try to review them in about one or two months to see the result.

I also got a couple of concealers cause they are a must for me right now, to conceal my acne scar, blemishes and dark circle. I just wouldn't go out without them on. My skin is really bad now.

My thesis test/session (I don't know the right word) is on next thursday. I'm really nervous about it, hopefully I'll do it well. So I think I'm going to be MIA again for this one week. Will be around very soon :)

Have a great day!
