skincare stash!


1. Silk Whitia Anti-Oxidation Whitening Masks
My HG whitening mask! Made in France. Amazing immediate brightening effect. Slightly pricier than typical masks in the market but worth every penny.


2. Hello Kitty Sexy Look Moisturising (pink) & Whitening (silver) Masks
Made in Taiwan. Mediocre masks with a rather strong chemical scent. Kawaii packagings make them a joy to look at and brew the temptation to purchase.


3. Heme Instant Lift and Whitening Eye Masks
My HG eye mask! Immediate effect that instantly refreshes the eye area. I am a fan of pretty much a lot of Heme products.


4. Nivea Night Whitening Body Milk
This large bottle truly moisturises and whitens. A wallet-friendly product that effectively and efficiently delivers its claims. Will definitely re-purchase!


5. Nivea Extra Whitening Body Milk & Nivea Night Whitening Body Milk
These are cheap mini-sized bottles that I bought because they can be conveniently lugged around and are travel-friendly. I have yet to try the Extra Whitening version in the day but I am aware that it is a newly-improved version and contains SPF.


6. Soap & Glory Heel Genius Foot Cream
Soap & Glory always manufactures products that come in super attractive packagings. This foot cream moisturises and softens the feet with nightly application. After shower, I slather an appropriate dallop on each foot and massage the cream till it is comfortably absorbed then I slide on socks and hit the sack. However, I will not re-purchase albeit it being a cheap and good product because I will love to try other foot creams in the market. In addition, I am also not a fan of the strong cucumber-like scent that this particular foot cream emits but I have since already gotten used to the chemical smell.

 

7. Anna Sui Secret Wish & Chloe Love Perfumes
This is a little cheat for perfumes do not exactly qualify as skincare products but I stash them together so I shall post it. I am utterly smitten with Chloe Love's beautiful scent and I do not think I will ever stop spraying this perfume. The Anna Sui one is my virgin perfume and I still adore the scent although it, in my opinion, no longer aptly suits my age group.

 

8. Shu Uemura Deepsea Water Mist & Evian Mineral Water Spray
I prefer the former over the latter and one can check out a more detailed comparison here.


9. Organix Moroccan Argan Oil & Liese Hair Cocktail Moisturising Hair Serum & Liese Smooth Hair Cocktail
The moroccan oil is my current HG hair product! It keeps my hair sleek, soft, smooth and silky. For an economical price, it is undoubtedly a reasonable buy considering that the product lasts a relatively long time because one can apply it merely on alternate days or even just about 1-2 times per week. The praise-worthy effect is instantaneous and long-lasting. The Liese serum is not recommended by me. I will, however, promote the Liese spray because it immediately detangles one's hair before combing and lightly adorns one's hair with a tolerably light fruity scent.

 

10. Formula 10.0.6 Rescue Me! Acne Blemish Treatment & Mentholatum Acnes Tea Tree Oil Clay Mask
Formula 10.0.6 is not too harsh nor too drying and worked alright on pimples. For those who dislike the possible flaking that Oxy may cause can try this treatment instead. I had the Tea Tree Oil Clay Mask for some time but I have only used it once on my forehead. It dried up a few tiny bumps I had in a matter of minutes. Unlike other clay masks, the aqua-green coloured cream does not harden for peeling and instead requires rinsing off. It is more gentle on the skin, a pro that I am highly pleased about. Plus the product is super cheap and affordable for anyone seeking a quick treatment for very minor sudden breakouts. For those in the dark, the Acnes brand is #1 Antibacterial Skin Care Brand in Japan and as my friends will know, I am confident about Japanese skincare.

 

11. Heme Magic T-Zone Peeling Mask
This is quite similar to the popular Daiso Charcoal Mask. However, I have never dared to venture into trying the Daiso version because I am not comfortable with applying such a cheap product on my face. Hence, I settled for a more expensive peeling mask from Heme that worked really splendidly. View the full review of this product here.


12. Principessa Cattiva Diva Silky Hand Cream & The Body Shop Almond Oil Daily Hand and Nail Cream
I recently chucked the Principessa hand cream out because I was more or less done with it. I am now using the replacement from The Body Shop. It is way better than the former. I may consider re-purchasing the Almond Oil Daily Hand & Nail Cream once I am done with this current tube.


13. Nivea Essential Care Lip Balm & Watsons Moisturising Lip Balm Strawberry
I really like the strawberry lip balm! It moisturises my lips every night and leaves behind a pleasant-smelling strawberry scent. However, one con is that it requires a lot of swipes before one can actually feel the sheen of balm on one's lips. There is a lot of product in the tube to compensate for this. The price is also dirt cheap, perhaps because it is under Watsons' house brand. I have yet to try the Nivea choice but I shall when I am done with the Watsons one.


14. Vaseline Petroleum Jelly
Everyone needs a tub of this in the house because it is simply so handy!


I attached an SKII spatula to the small tub so as to facilitate easy scooping out of the product.
