Amask Gold & Stem Cells Facial Mask Review

Got these Amasks to try out and the word 'gold' caught my eyes! Amask is formulated in Switzerland and does not contain paraben, alcohol and artificial colouring.

If you watch Come On, Cousin (老表，你好hea!), I think this will be Kam Kwong's (金礦) favourite mask xD

Sit back and relax with your gold mask lolol It's super thick and saturated with serum, ensuring it stays moist for over 20 minutes. Honestly it feels luxurious xD or I'm influenced by the pieces of gold in it.

After you remove it, you will notice the gold flecks still on your skin. Simply massage them in and pat until not sticky.

Ta-da! Unfortunately, I left some gold on my face and apparently I was sparkling lolol

Say hello to moisturized skin~ Combining the miracle ingredients of stem cells, gold and herbal extracts, Amask is an all purpose facial mask that hydrates, age-defends and whitens your skin.

Price

The mask is priced at RM 89 for a box of 4 but you can get 10% off if you quote my name =)

Cettua Masks Parcel

Received a love parcel from Cettua Masks~ Love the pastel colour of their products!

The packets for the face masks have a 'mirror' for you to check your skin condition. They're not functional but it's a funny touch.

What caught my eyes were these 2 though - Cettua Leg Relax Patch and Hot Body Design Patch LOL Wanna know how they're like? Wait for my next review xD

I've only tried the Cettua Hydrating Facial Mask so far.. They have different masks for different skin types. I usually go for the hydrating and brightening ones.

First thing I noticed when I opened the packet - the mask smells a lil strange.. well that's because the product doesn't contain any fragrance, paraben or pigment. Good for sensitive skin but not so good if you like fragrant masks.

It says to leave on for 20-30 minutes but the moment I took it out of the packet, I knew it wouldn't last that long. The thick 100% cotton sheet was not very moist and was too dry to be kept on past 15 minutes. The shape of the sheet was good though. I like how the flap between the nose and mouth is thin enough not to cover my lips yuck..

Thankfully, the serum saved it. It's better than I expected. Moisturizing and not very sticky. I've also tried the nose strip and it is uh-may-zing!

Shopping in South Korea with OKDGG Part 2

I actually love basic pieces. They're easy, comfortable and match with a variety of outfits. I got this piece from OKDGG.

The first thing I noticed is that.. it's a long top! Basic tops have a tendency to ride up on me but this one won't. It also has adjustable straps~

Look 1: Casual look

Basic tops are not just for home wear. I'm wearing a loose hoodie with my top here for class. Perhaps a little too much pink but it's comfortable.

Look 2: Formal

Presentation today! Don't wanna wear dresses? Here's a foolproof combination - a black skirt, your basic top (in any colour) and a nice blazer over it. It looks good and you can always remove the blazer later on to go back to looking casual.

Don't stick to boring black & white. OKDGG offers basic tops in various colours for you to layer with ;)

Check out what else I got from OKDGG.

Shopping in South Korea - OKDGG

I've always been cautious with 'China pre-order websites' because the quality always comes out so bad but recently I found this OKDGG site which ships fashion items from South Korea to other countries, including Malaysia. It has a wide collection from different shops; each of them has a different style and price range.

Both pieces below are from VanillaMint because it's one of the budget-friendly sites~ I like.

Surprise surprise! This is nothing like those China pre-orders okay?! The quality is superb and it looks exactly like the online photo. The material is so soft and comfortable, I wore it twice this week already =x

Weird fact: I do not own socks; I've been stealing le Bf's. So these are my first pair! (School socks don't count..)

Fashion tip - you can wear socks with sandals or other types of shoes! They're not limited to sneakers or sport shoes. Match your shoes with bright colours or lacey ones for a feminine look.

I just want to say that.. I am absolutely depressed about missing this amazing pair of transparent sunglasses OMG! I was a few steps late and someone bought the last pair T_T NOOOOO!!! It's okay.. I will be back for the other awesome goodies!

So what are you waiting for? Head on over to OKDGG to start shopping ;)

Feeling rather poor recently so I've been searching for discount coupons to use online =x You would be amazed at what you can find! Sometimes I just Google for 'ABC shop discount code' but it always gives me expired codes.

Photos as examples only

They also have Lazada Malaysia Coupons - very easy to use. Clicking on the orange button will reveal the code which you can just key into the website. Sometimes they also list deals which do not require codes.

And various Expedia Malaysia Coupons! So you can fly for free, explore beautiful beaches, eat tom yum kung, spam all the street food and still shop with the money you saved =D

Overall, this website is great for people who wish to save money but I wish they had more so I can save more! #kiamsiap

Mika Serum & Moisturizer Review

I received these colourful products from Imay Beauty & Wellness and they just brighten my mood. FYI, they're made in Japan.

Each 10ml has a different function and you can combine them to get the best results.

After serum, follow with the Mika Hydro Moisturizer. Honestly, this smells really strange.. Well, that's because the range does not contain any chemical fragrance, paraben, artificial colour or mineral oil. The only problem is it has Dimethicone which some people are sensitive towards.

Price: RM 115 (50% off + free shipping until end of Nov 2014)

Only the Brightening Serum is white but they all feel watery-light.

Customize your skincare with Mika! Obviously, everyone has different skincare needs so this range is designed in a way that you can combine different serums for different purposes. It can be a little tedious having to combine 3 serums but this is the price we pay for beauty right?

All the products absorb easily without being sticky and the moisturizer makes your skin feel oh-so-smooth! I even forced le Bf to touch my face and he agreed xD Don't worry about the strange moisturizer smell because it doesn't linger.

I didn't take closeup photos this time but the moisturizing effects are quite apparent even from a distance as you can see my forehead is smoother. It is very comfortable on skin and makeup wears well over it.

Before and after Mika serum and Hydro Moisturizer

The serums are RM85 per bottle but there are set promotions on their Facebook page.
