Innisfree: My Real Squeeze Masks sheet masks [Newest Packaging]

Beauty Tuesday, February 27, 2018

Hello loves! This month I've been caught up with some new projects that made it hard to write but no problem now I'm back with a new exciting post from Innisfree Indonesia. If you've been following me on my Instagram you might have seen me featuring this new sheet mask booklet from Innisfree several times and as I've promised here is a post special for it. I'll share about my personal thoughts regarding this new sheet masks from Innisfree, well actually the sheet mask from Innisfree is no longer new to many. They're sheet mask are known to be affective and cost friendly that's what makes them very popular especially among youngsters or collage student.

However the good news is now Innisfree has a brand new packaging for all their "My Real Squeeze Masks" series of sheet masks. Their new packaging is definitely cute :) will discuss more on it on the packaging section below.. So let's begin shall we?

I received this cute #FreshStart2018 booklet of sheet masks, inside we can find all the 18 varieties of sheet masks! As you open you'll see a whole booklet like an album gallery displaying each of the sheet masks. ❤

The masks itself has three different types which is water, essence and cream. This means that each mask has different solution soaked in it and you can easily identify it from the image at the lower right corner of the packaging which indicates whether its water / essence / cream.

I personally like the new packaging because it looks so sleek and clean compared to their previous one. However I'm not so sure if they've done any formula updates on the mask as they felt pretty much the same as the previous one. So they only revamp the whole packaging to give it a new look for new year! :) What do you think of this new packaging?At the back of the packaging as usual you have the direction of use and information regarding the mask.

So far I've tried this three different mask: Tomato, Honey and Green tea. Now I'll break it down to you the impression left by each mask...

My real squeeze mask - tomato

Tomato is known to contain high anti-oxidant that is great to battle active acne or even accelerate the process of healing from acne scares. This is why it was the first mask I tried and as usual Innisfree mask never fail to impress me with the amount of essence in their mask. Upon application this mask leaves my skin feeling moist, and looking fresh !

My real squeeze mask - manuka honey

This mask contains Manuka honey and aloe juice that is meant to nourish our skin and keep them looking radiant. I heard that honey has a good anti bacteria but its' actually my first time using honey on my skin. Well it doesn't makes my skin feel hydrated and refreshed as well. Finger crossed it doesn't caused any irritation on my current skin condition which is breaking out lately.

My real squeeze mask - green tea

Now my favorite from all three I've tried before, its their green tea. I might be biased by I do like anything in green tea whether its my latte, ice cream or even skincare as I find them very soothing on the skin. green tea is also high in anti oxidant and this mask leaves me feeling refreshed, hydrated and my skin looks clearer and it definitely calms down my angry acnes making them less red.

DIRECTION OF USAGE
- Use it on clean face
- Leave the mask on for 10-20 mins but remember don't let it dry off too long on your skin because it might dehydrate your skin if being left longer than needed.
- Pad off the excess essence on your skin and neck area
- Let it set and absorb on your skin before continuing with your skincare or makeup routine.

The mask itself has a lot of excess essence even left over inside the packaging and I can have the essence dripping all over while unfolding the mask, so be careful not to get messy.. Cause they aren't stingy with the amount of essence each mask contain.

After applying the mask I leave it for a good 15 mins before padding and massaging the excess essence onto my skin and neck area. I let them absorb and then continue with my usual daily skin care or makeup routine. I personally feel applying sheet masks prior to mask up helps the makeup to stay in place longer.

I notice this green tea mask I tried feels cool on my skin and it leaves my skin feeling and looking refreshed and hydrated. It also calms down my redness and it absorbs pretty quickly onto the skin.

Now you can purchase all these new My Real Squeeze Masks series in their newest packaging in store. However they're sold individually and not in a bundle booklet like this. This is a special package for us #innifriends, but don't worry each mask only
cost IDR 19.000 which is so cost friendly!
Once again thank you so much Innisfree for this cute booklet of sheet masks. Tho my skin isn't in its best condition but let's hope these mask will help to boost its recovery! So grateful to be part of the #innifriends campaign from Innisfree :) Thank you so much for reading, I'll see you on my next one soon...

Love, Stevie

All Fernberry products are also Cruelty-free.

Actually I had a long story to share about how lengthy and difficult it is to finally get my hands on their products due to customs that has became a lot more strict these days. But all I can say is their staff are so kind that they finally decide to sent me a whole new package which finally reached my hands safe and sound!

As some of you may have know my body has been asking me to slow down and I've been down with horrible flu and cold for the pass few days and today I kind of feel a lot better and decided to share this little experience I had with Fernberry skincare with you.

You know when you're laying sick in bed all you wanna do is sleep and that's what Ive been doing for the past few days. Laying in bed itself makes me feel exhausted and I decided to take out my Fernberry Skincare and apply them. They really helps relax and I could take a long nap due to its relaxing scent. I used the hand cream and foot cream and lip care all in one go and try to nap afterwards. I do notice that the scent of Fernberry Skincare are very soft, sweet and soothing. That's why without long wait I can fall a sleep smelling the scent. Waking up from my nap I feel refreshed and the scent still lingers on making my skin feeling super smooth and soft. So even though my body is feeling weak but it just lift up the mood to smell good and have a smooth skin.

The package I receive consisted of all four products from Fernberry: Moisturizing Mousse Ultra-Fine Daily Body Scrub, Replenishing Smoothie Conditioning Foot Cream, Petals & Cream Softening Hand Cream and Mochi Lips Nourishing Lip Conditioner. Just everything you need to keep your skin hydrated and moisturized from foot, hand to lips. Everything was beautifully packed and secured in a box and in the box they've also included a set of postcards and a tote bag. Each product consist of natural ingredients that are meant to nourish, hydrate and moisturize our skin. In this post I'll also share with you my tiny bits about each of their products and which of them all are my favorite. Shall we begin?

Moisturizing Mousse Ultra-Fine Daily Body Scrub

This Moisturizing Mousse is a body scrub with ultra tiny sea salt that cleanse off pores and dull skin leaving your skin feeling revitalized. I like to use it daily as my scrub cause aside from the scrub I also love the Chamomile flower, organ and jojoba oils that makes my skin feeling smooth. Using it on every bath just leaves my skin feeling so smooth and refreshed. Although it consist of fin scrubs but they are so tiny that its okay to use it daily as the sea salt will melt away instantly after several scrubs.

Replenishing Smoothie Conditioning Foot Cream

Hands down for this cream because it is absolutely my favorite. Not sure if this is only for the foot cream but since it smells so good I used it on my legs too hahaha. As you might already know I'm not blessed with my skin department and I do have super sensitive skin even on my bodies, its very often that I get rashes due to lotions that aren't suitable for my skin but surprisingly even though this cream smells so good which means it consists of perfume even though just a little but this product doesn't irritate my skin. It makes my skin feeling super smooth and hydrated, definitely feeling pampered every time I apply this.

Petals & Cream Softening Hand Cream

This hand cream helps to boost moisture on our hands that are usually dry by making it soft and restoring its elasticity. It also soften cuticles and nourish our nails. I really felt this cream helps to make my skin look more glowy and revitalized. Having a soft and baby like hands is every girls dream especially for me I kind of have dry skin so hand cream is a must for me to keep them hydrated. This cream is moisturizing and quickly absorbs into the skin but doesn't leave any greasy film on the skin.

Ingredients: Water, Glycerin, Squalane, Butylene Glycol, Stearic Acid, Cetyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Ethylhexylglycerin, Glyceryl Caprylate, Carbomer, Citrus Junos Seed Oil, Camellia Japonica Seed Oil, Prunus Mume Fruit Extract, Prunus Yedoensis Leaf Extract, Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Extract, Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Potassium Hydroxide, Phenoxyethanol

Mochi Lips Nourishing Lip Conditioner

I love to use this as my lip moisturizer before heading to bed to keep my lips moisturized overnight. This products claims to soften and condition our lips with its yuzu, tsunami flower, sweet almond and sunflower seed oils ingredient. Now you can say bye to dry and Chappy lips. It feels super light on the lips and not greasy at all.

Ingredients: Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Beeswax, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Citrus Junos Peel Oil, Citrus Junos Seed Oil, Camellia Japonica Seed Oil, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Water

VERDICT

Off all the Fernberry products I can say my favorite combo are the Moisturizing Mousse Ultra-Fine Daily Body Scrub and Replenishing Smoothie Conditioning Foot Cream because both smell so heavenly!! Ultimately soothing and melting away all my trouble :') I'm usually not a fan of scented products but these two are exception, I remember vividly how the Replenishing Smoothie Conditioning Foot Cream soothe me to take a nap while feeling completely down a few days ago and waking up they still keep my skin feeling super soft and smooth just a total mood booster. To be honest all their products really deliver the thing they claim to do, they are all very hydrating and moisturizing. However I don't really like the scent of the hand cream, it has some kind of floral scent that is to strong for my likings and same goes with the lip conditioner I don't really like how it taste when I lick on it unintentionally. I'm still using both the Moisturizing Mousse Ultra-Fine Daily Body Scrub and Replenishing Smoothie Conditioning Foot Cream everyday as they give me some kind of a relaxing and therapeutic sensation. Thank you Fernberry for the skin treats! my skin is loving it...

Now let me share my little thoughts

For me being sick is both a curse and a bliss...

As its the only time I can lounge all day in my bed as my body tell me to slow down...

You know my work have no office hours and Yes, I have the liberty to work whenever I want to but keeping that in mind I have a lot to juggle to keep up with all my work that's why I think I've took even more overtime compared to any officeworkers but didn't even get overtime pay but if you ask me why I keep on doing it.. It's because I'm happy and after every work's done I feel self- content and self-motivated to create something new~

I personally think of it as a calling becoming a creator makes you "your own boss" but you have to keep yourself on point and always thinking ahead in order to create something someone else would love to see, read or watch.. That's why content creator needs to keep themselves inspired at all times because if not one can easily burn out. That's why sometimes slowing down when I'm sick is the only time I have to stop thinking and indulge in myself finding back the purpose I wanted in life.

Side note: Health is very important never overlook the importance of health! I know I'm doing a pretty lousy job maintaining my own health as my body keep on letting me down after long sleepless weeks but I'm trying to improve. Let us all strive to fight all the disease by keeping ourselves fit and maintaining a balanced lifestyle.

Stay healthy, positive and beautiful inside out!❤

Love, Stevie

[Review]: B.LIV SKIN Products

Beauty Monday, July 31, 2017

Now lets talk about pores... Every one must have experienced with blackheads and whiteheads problems. before, right? Pore problems are usually caused by junks or dirt or makeup residue that resides on skin which clogs our pores and results in these endless pore problems. In series cases it can cause break outs which will be totally uncool. From my own personal experience due to my severe break out experience in my teens I do have huge pores on my cheek area and some on my nose. Although the acne has cleared up but the pores aren't shrinking back to its actual size which makes it even easier for my pores to clog as their size are bigger. That's why cleansing is essential in my skin care regime, I try my best not to skip cleansing step everyday.

Not only acne but pore problems can also cause blackheads and whiteheads that can be troublesome too on the skin. You know with all those heads sitting on your skin it'll be very difficult for your skin to look flawless. Especially as someone who loves natural looking makeup, I need to ensure my skin condition is prominent so that I don't need to layer up tons of base makeup... However the truth is my skin isn't perfect either :'( I experience break out every now and then and I do have blackheads that are very difficult to get rid off. Usually when I'm kinda bored I would pick on those blackheads trying to pull them out but sometimes when I don't succeed I'm actually causing more harm to my own skin and eventually it turned to active acne!! That's why never ever pick on your acne or touch your face... because most of the case we're only doing harm to our skin by adding more germs and bacteria to our skin from our hands.

So now I'll be introducing you to this brand called B.Liv, years back this brand was kind of booming here in Indonesia.. Promoting about their Off with those heads (blackheads sebum gel) which was said to be effective to battle and enables us to extract blackheads easily. However I was always kind of hesitant to try new skin care because my skin is super sensitive but last month when the representative of B.Liv contacted me to do a review about their products I was also still hesitant whether or not to take it. But after some discussions and the reassurance from the B.Liv Team which are so kind to answer to all my queries I decided to give it a go. It because I really want to try their Off with those heads (blackheads sebum gel) and see whether it actually works to fight blackheads. Does it really work? make sure you read till the end.

[Left to right →] O2 bubbly bright (Oxygenating mask) and Off with those heads (blackheads sebum gel)

Thank you B.LIV for sending them over for me to try out! Been super curious about their Off with those heads (blackheads sebum gel) as I heard lots of people raving about it and I can't wait to see how it works on my skin. Thank you for the hand written postcard too, I have a thing for letters and tiny act like this ❤

Happy Girl when a package arrives ❤❤❤

Off with those heads (blackheads sebum gel)

This gel helps to unclog pores and lessen the occurrence of black and whiteheads. It also helps to remove blackheads and whiteheads without any painful extraction process. It also helps to control the secretion of oil thus making your skin looks a lot clearer. It is suitable for all skin type with blackheads and whiteheads.

the gel itself doesn't have any significant scent and it absorbs quickly onto the skin. it doesn't leave any greasy film on top of the skin. after giving this product a good try for a couple weeks now i realize that it really helps to get rid of blackheads and whiteheads that are usually very difficult and painful to get rid off even with forceful and painful extraction process but now they comes off very easily!! now my nose area has become a lot clearer with the removal of blackheads.

How to use

- Pump 2 to 3 pea sized drops onto your palm then apply on your t-zone areas and on the areas with black and whiteheads.

The ingredients

O2 bubbly bright (Oxygenating mask)

This O2 bubbly bright (Oxygenating mask) is said to be purifying, brightening and exfoliating.Its formula combines oxygen bubble and rice powder to brighten up and even up complexion, the red soft beads gently exfoliate the skin while the frizzes starting forming bubbles in soft foam to soak up impurities on the skin.

Using a sufficient amount of product all over the face I spread the product evenly on my skin and then it'll start forming bubbles in which by 10 mins your whole face will be covered with bubbles, as shown in the picture below. After rinsing it off my skin feels super fresh, supple, soft and it doesn't feel like its stripping off all the moisture. No squeaky/ tight clean feeling too!

This is how the product looks like on the inside, it comes in a pinkish formula with tiny red exfoliating beads that are very gentle on the skin. The formula really feel like it deep cleanse yet very gentle on the skin too.

One the left its the picture of my face with the product right after application, the product starts to foam up and create bubble on the skin. Then after leaving it for 10 mins the bubble disperse and become more dense in some area. Then I would usually massage the the bubbles into my skin again before rinsing off.

Make sure you purchase authentic B.Liv Products from the trusted store or you can get yours from their official Website! I really love both these B.Liv products:) They really help me to treat my pores and help me cleanse them even more thoroughly... Indeed a pore specialist brand making me have a clearer skin! *Even though I'm still having a few active acne going on now :'(
