The Perfect x Imperfection

by Kiyoko Yasuda

Halloween is around the corner y'all!!! 
Is your outfit and makeup READY!? 
If you're still not ready, why not get some fun makeup and skincare for Halloween night??
Althea is Korea's one-stop online beauty destination that provides the lowest prices and they're the in the forefront of introducing K-beauty to the world! They have a wide range of products suitable for any situation, concern, and CRAVINGS! Today I'll be sharing a few products that will be great for a girl's night out or a night in this Halloween!


VELIEVE Bellamonster Crayon Color Blender Set
(SGD$ 29.70)
Don't worry! it's not going to turn you into a monster!
This set comes with 6 retractable crayons (SGD$4.95 per stick!!!) that you can blend 2 colors together to create different  colors!! 

The packaging looks great, it looks expensive so it'll also be a great birthday/Christmas present!
The instructions are super easy to understand - what color to mix with what to create what color.
So you don't need to know Korean to use this!


It includes a chart of how to blend the colors together!
I tried it out and here are the swatches on my lips!


Pretty cool right?
With just 6 colors, you can have 11 lippie colors!
It's great for people who want to experiment with different colors but don't want to spend a bomb on different color lippies.



MY THOUGHTS
It's very friendly to your wallet HANDS DOWN! The formula is creamy and easy to apply but for the  white, black, and lilac on my lips...it was a tiny bit streaky...but it's easy to build up and when you blend it with the 2nd color = no problem!
It's creamy and it isn't MATTE - so it will definitely transfer and move around.
Don't expect it to survive a tea session or a meal.
It smells like candy but it's not an annoying kind of smell that stays after you apply it onto your lips.
I recommend it for any lippie newbies who want to see what color suits them and a product to use for a Halloween look!




Piolang Monster Pack
(SGD$19.00)
When I first saw this... all I could say was...
WHAT KIND OF SCIENCE EXPERIMENT IS THIS??
This monster pack (white) is supposed to tighten the skin and hydrate dry skin. 
It's 10-free and made from natural ingredients so it's suitable for sensitive skin too!

The box includes... the pack powder, activator, brush, bowl, and measuring spoon is included.
I like it when a product includes EVERYTHING you need - I'm not an esthetic salon that includes everything I need you know?
Well now that I have this kit, I think I CAN start up my own salon! LOL

Here's the back of the packaging and a photo instruction!
Doesn't look too hard but...it looks too cute to be something related to a 'monster'.

Here's the product backlabel!
I wish I could read Korean...

So let's begin science class!
Put 1 spoonful of the powder and activator into the bowl.


mix mix mix mix


Apply on your face while praying you're doing it right. LOL
The instructions stated to apply in an upward-ish motion.

So I was waiting for 10 - 15min to see what will happen and...
HOLY CRAP!!!!! 
Who needs elderly makeup when you can just apply this LOL!!!
So the product description on Althea explains that the wrinkly, cracking area = moisture deficit.
Uneven bumps = elasticity deficit.
It seems like my face is dry like the Sahara desert...

After cleansing the face...
Apply the activator like the back packaging to finish it off!

MY THOUGHTS
This would be fun to apply with a few friends or to scare a family member, friend(s), and/or your boyfriend/partner! It literally has that WOW factor and I really liked how my face felt after I finished applying the activator.
When the mask was wrinkling up, it didn't hurt my face - which is a thumbs up!
For SGD$19.00...the amount of product you get is really cost efficient and it'll last a few slumber parties!




JaseongMiin Magnetic Pack
(SGD$10.00)
I was so excited to try this!! I've seen so many Youtubers talk about this and demonstrating it and I was like I WANNA TRY IT TOO!! LOOKS LIKE SO MUCH FUN!!!
This magnet pack cleaner gets rid of all the gunk that's left on the skin with the magnet and only leaves the active ingredient behind! So no washing's required after it! Simple!

To be honest, I was worried if this was enough to cover my entire face...
It's not like I have a small face T_T
But to my pleasant surprise...

This packet was more than enough to cover my entire face!
Wait for 10~15 minutes~

Wrap a cling wrap around the applicator so that cleaning up after masking up is fuss-free.
Then place the applicator near your face and...
ISN'T THIS SO COOL!?!
My eyes popped OUT when the mask started to peel off!!!
It kinda feels like when you get goosebumps so it's not painful at all and IT'S SUPER FUN!

Here's what the applicator looks like after removing everything!
I was able to remove everything easily and it was so much fun!!!
After I was done...I wanted to do it again LOL

Check it out! Isn't it so cool??
All you need to do after that is to just take off the wrap and your applicator is good as new!

MY THOUGHTS
My face felt super moisturized after the mask and the fact that I can go to sleep after I remove the mask is a super thumbs up! My skin felt slightly oily but when I woke up, my skin felt super supple!
I had no breakouts whatsoever so I'm super impressed!
For just 4 masks - it's SGD$10.00!!!!
To purchase the magnetic applicator + 4 masks = SGD$22.00!
Pretty good price right?

I totally recommend making it a game by applying it to someone else and removing it from one another!




Elizavecca Hell-Pore Clean Up Mask
(SGD$14.00)
Hate them annoying blackheads?
Well you should try out this liquid pore pack!
I've used the paper one before but I realized it opened my pores after using it so...
I've curious of these kind of 'liquid' products!

Here's the backlabel of the product!
I just love the piggy! So cute!

This Liquid Pore Pack will help remove dead skin cells, shrink pores, clean pores, and remove sebum - sounds like a dream come true hahaha.

It says that if you have sensitive skin, to apply it ONLY on your NOSE and CHIN.
DO NOT APPLY UNDER THE EYES!


Since I don't have sensitive skin, I decided to try my entire face.
After applying it for 15 minutes...

 Peel it off from the bottom!
The bottom area of my face didn't hurt at all when I was peeling it off but when I got slightly closer to the hairline area...it started to tingle tingle.
I think if you have lots of facial hair....you should also just apply on your nose and chin.

Check out my nose!
Not lots huge chunks but you can see some blackheads on the side of my nose area.

MY THOUGHTS
I'd like to think that my usual skincare routine is helping my pores become smaller and remove most of the gunk before it becomes a blackhead. BUT! I still think that using a pack like this is important for a 'spring cleaning' kind of routine. 
Not to mention, SGD$14.00 for 100ml...a pretty good deal since imagine how many nose strips you can make with 100ml!!!!
Sorry for putting money into this review...I just think that cost-efficient products must be addressed!




Mamonde Rose Moisturizing Flower Essential Mask
I'm a sucker for sheet masks. I use different brands for different occasions!
This mask from Mamonde has Rose Essences that moisturizes the skin!


Here's the backlabel of the mask!


This sheet mask smells AMAZING and it feels so moisturizing on my skin
My face felt super supple and soft so this is definitely a great mask to use for a weekly skincare routine (I think it's a little too rich to use every day).



MY THOUGHT
This mask is a great skincare pick-me-up and it left my skin smelling lovely and moisturized!
This sheet isn't available on Althea but check out all the other goodies from Mamonde!




I hope you guys enjoyed this quick review!
Thank you once again to Althea for letting me try out these spooktacular products!!

Happy Halloween!

Hey y'all!!
So 2016 has been FLYING BY TOO QUICKLY!
I still can't believe I'm 26 already and skincare and supplements alone won't help preserve...the remaining youth I have in my body? LOL

That's why I need a hero to help me out, which brings me to today's review...↓↓↓


What IS Stem Cell? Is it important?
In our everyday life, our skin goes through A LOT! It's exposed to chemicals and physical stress (sunlight, friction from clothes, etc.) which requires the skin to renew itself constantly be in good condition. SKIN STEM CELLS makes this possible. They're in charge of the skin's regeneration process. 

The only sad thing is, once we hit that 25years old mark, our skin cells renewal process starts to sloooow dooooooown. It already takes 28 days for our skin to renew itself...AND IT GETS SLOWER!? Great... JUST GREAT!


Collagen = Stem Cell? NO!
In order to help the cell renewal and to maintain healthy skin...
NUTRIENTS = A MUST!

A lot of people think that taking collagen alone can help...NOPE!
(BTW! Did you know that you actually need 2000 ~ 5000mg of collagen and anything more than that won't get absorbed into our skin)
In order to have good, healthy skin and to benefit from any oral beauty supplements/skincare you need to have healthy skin cells. 

You can achieve healthier skin cells with...AVALON ™ Stem Cell Beauty Drink 


AVALON ™ Stem Cell Beauty Drink
Young Orchid Stem Cells 

Orchids = luxury, love, strength, refinement, perfection and beauty.

This is the FIRST All-in-One Orchid Stem Cell Beauty Drink in sunny Singapore! 

Orchids have been used for medicinal and health purposes since ancient times.
In ancient China - it was used to promote good health and cure diseases
The Aztecs - brewed a power potion using Orchids to gain power and strength over their enemies. 
Europeans - used Orchids in love potions (aww)
Greeks - used Orchids for fertility

Here's a fun fact! Did you know that the national flower of Singapore is also an Orchid?

In modern times, Orchid extracts are used in many kinds of beauty products (hair, body, skincare, etc.) but researchers have found something new...Orchid Stem Cells. 

Orchid Stem Cell is a powerful antioxidant that has a strong anti-inflammatory property - especially the young orchid stem cells! 
It can also protect our skin cells from environmental damages, hydrates your skin, and helps with the renewal process of our skin cells! 


PRODUCT BENEFITS 

They claim that you will see a difference in 7 days! 

However to see a FULL affect, you will need to take the product for 28 days.
 (1 skin renewal cycle)
After 28 days they claim the following...

Rejuvenates damaged skin cells 
Reduces wrinkles & fine lines 
Restore skin firmness & elasticity 
Brightens skin 
Tighten pores 
Locks in moisture

Sounds pretty good yeah?


PRODUCT INGREDIENTS
Cell Young ® Orchid Stem Cell, Premium French Marine Collagen, Acerola Cherry, Litchi Seed Extract, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Olive Extract, Citric Acid, White Grape Juice, Litchi Juice, Apple Juice, Sparkling Water. 

Each ingredient helps to revive the skin...combine it all together and you'll get an epic result!


It's recommended to consume 1 bottle before bedtime.
Why not make it a fancy night time ritual~?

Sparkling water is added not just to make it fancy, but it helps to boost the absorption of nutrients and promotes skin metabolism! 


AFTER 7 DAYS...
To be completely honest...I started drinking this during my period...which is the time when my skin becomes a pre-adolescent teenager and rebels against me in every way possible. 
To my surprise, the breakouts I usually get on my chin area didn't come popping out and my skin's condition was pretty good! I can't say my wrinkles disappeared and I saw a miraculous change since I haven't tried the product for 28 days, but it's been feeling pretty hydrated and healthy - which is what I want!

Happy Wellness Wednesday everyone!
Besides improving my body's health, I believe that wellness includes taking care of your skin and body!

Today's blogpost will be about  the BUTT Treatment -  one of the services Expressions Singapore has to offer!




The pioneer in the industry and introduced the concept of "Total Wellness". 
Expressions Singapore believes that looking and feeling good is a result from being healthy and fit. 

Expressions provides only the best products, programs, and services to their customers.
Their philosophy embraces a holistic and natural approach to achieve a better inner and outer well-being. 



Why should I get a butt treatment?

GREAT QUESTION! That's the same question I had when I first got the invitation.
After I got an explanation of the benefits, I booked my appointment ASAP!

Your butt is the mirror of the pelvis and the hip is the main switch of the human body.
1. Black Hip Joint: uturus cold, uterus heavy toxin
2. Hip Saggy: ovarian atrophy symptom
3. Hip Acne: too much moisture and/or toxin
4. Constantly Cold Hips: uterus cold, immune system low
5. Hip Pain: ovarian cyst, gynecological diseases
