[Giveaway] SF Beauty Skin

Thanks to SF Beauty Skin for providing this sample kit for free. (This post is not sponsored)

SF Beauty Skin believes in the importance of letting customers try their products before making a purchase. As they do not have a physical shop, they ship these sample kits directly to interested customers free of charge. How generous!



The company's 10 promises include free shipping, 10 days refund guarantee, 1 to 1 customer service and more.


Inside the kit you will find an array of product samples picked specially for your skin. The consultant will call you before sending you the samples. Mine was Yuki, who asked me questions about my skin to find out my skin type and condition in order to provide me with the right products. Samples are labeled for your convenience; blue for morning, grey for night and red for special care.



* Take note that I've only tried these for a few days so reviews may not be 100% accurate



Pure Pearl Cleanser (RM 100/150 ml) - extremely fine lather can effectively cleanse blemishes and impurities from the skin, and at the same time, keep the skin moisturised, leaving your skin feeling perfectly clean and pure. Long-term application will make your skin visibly brighter.

Review - Love how it's so shimmery! Lathers very well into a soft and fine foam that can clean my face well but somehow it makes my skin dry and peel. Yuki suggested I use the Remover Cleansing Gel instead.




Normalizing Lotion (RM 100/150 ml) - Rich in moisturising elements, the Normalising Lotion is formulated to moisturise deep into your skin, providing your skin with all the moisture it needs. It also keeps your skin's oil-moisture level balanced, giving you a bouncy, flawless skin with a healthy, radiant shine.

Review - Very watery and absorbs fast, leaving skin velvety smooth.



Purifying Serum (RM 110/20 ml) - Effective in oil-control as well as clearing dirt, Purifying Serum is an anti-inflammation and antibacterial formula that specialises in eliminating acne and helping the spots to quickly recover without leaving any scar.

Review - Kinda reminded me of honey with it's yellowish colour and scent. Upon application, there's a warm sensation but it's not sticky like honey. In fact, none of these products are sticky.



Hydro Aqua Essence (RM135/30 ml) - It can penetrate deep into the depths of your skin to moisturise areas that regular moisturisers can't even reach, thus providing your skin with all the hydration it needs, slowing the ageing process, reducing wrinkles, and restoring beauty to your skin!

Review - Applying this slightly cooling gel right after the warm Purifying Serum feels so nice! Essence absorbs really quickly.



Moisture Gel (RM 115/30 ml) - restores, locks and retains moisture, ensuring that your skin stays moisturized for extended hours. It is a refreshing and zero-oil formula, capable of raising your skin's defense against dryness caused by bad weather, air-conditioning and even pollution.

Review - Gives a minty feel. It's gel formula makes it absorb fast without being greasy or sticky.


 
Perfect Glow Sunscreen (RM 125/30 ml) - has 6 amazing features it is an effective sunscreen that enhances your skin’s UV protection which is designed to be waterproof and sweat-proof, so you don’t have to worry about sweat washing away the protection off your face. It also moisturises your skin and you can even use it as a concealer or nude makeup!

Review - This is a tinted sunscreen that makes my skin look amazing! It covers pores, blackheads and lightens imperfections. Still need concealer but the overall look is just so evened out and nice. It settles into a matte, slightly pinkish and non-greasy finish. Very long-lasting too. I can definitely see why this is a top seller. However, it seemed to be too dry for my combination-dehydrated skin =(

You know me.. Photos to show you how the suncreen covers pores and blackheads at T zone. Don't forget to click to zoom in!


 
Remover Cleansing Gel (RM 100/150 ml) - Cleanses your skin effectively, wet or dry!
The 2-in-1 Remover Cleansing Gel features a ground-breaking adhesive gel that removes your makeup, heavy or light, cleans dirt from pores, and eliminates grease in one effective wash. It is a gentle formula that can be used daily for skin cleansing.


Review - This is a special one.. A best seller. As you massage it, it turns gooey and lumps together (reminds me of mucus lolz). It picks up all the makeup and impurities on your skin. You can see it turning into the colour of your makeup so it's definitely working. From the website, it says you can lather it with water as a cleanser as well. I find it to be very interesting..


Walnut Peeling Cream (RM 18/10 ml) - The new and improved Walnut Peeling Gel is formulated using a unique type of walnut granule. It comes with a moisturising effect that softens the keratin first before removing gently it from the skin, making it especially suitable for oily skin.

Review - Unlike many in the market which claim to be peeling gels/creams but are just scrubs, this one will really ball up as you massage it and the balls pick up the makeup & dirt


Glossy Shine Sleeping Mask (RM 89/30 ml) - locks moisture to ensure that your skin gets all the moisturising it needs. It can also be used as a facial mask.

Review - Surprised at it's slippery and creamy texture but after it settled, it wasn't too sticky or oily for a sleeping mask.

Below is after using all the morning steps, including sunscreen. No Photoshop at all!





Overall, the products seem perfect for our weather as they are all very watery/gel-like so they're really light and you won't feel uncomfortable. Each subsequent product I apply makes my skin feel smoother and softer. After a few days, I noticed that my pores are getting smaller and blackheads lessen but skin is still kinda dry with the sunscreen.

L'oreal Renewal Lash Serum from OnlyBeauty

When this product came out, I was pretty curious about it (had this phobia of my lashes becoming bald). Thanks to OnlyBeauty, I got to try it! Actually I signed up for OnlyBeauty years ago and went crazy over it cos it's the best sampling website in Malaysia! You can get free beauty product samples here from various brands and all at no cost. You can check out their website or Facebook page for updates on freebies and product reviews.

Love the curves! xD It's really small so I bring it along with me in my bag (so I don't forget).


Product says :


The applicator is a special one. It's curved with a thinner tip for perfect application.


How to apply it? First, use the tip and apply the product on the roots as if you're applying eyeliner. Then, use the curve to sweep your lashes from root to tip like applying mascara.



The serum feels cool and refreshing upon application. It's not very watery but is very easy to spread. Dries to almost nothing. I sometimes use this as an invisible boost for my lashes. After application, I push my lashes into a curve until it dries and my eyes look more awake.

Now.. On to the results!


After using this product for almost 2 weeks, I noticed my lashes were slightly longer and each lash was thicker! Also, they appeared to be stronger and straighter, looking healthier. Lash fall was also reduced and I definitely felt the difference as I didn't get poked in the eye with my own lashes as often.

I've also managed to clear some doubts about this product.

They say : This product burns your eyes!
My comment : While trying to take a photo, I literally poked my eye with the wand (do not try this lol) and guess what? Nothing happened at all! I apply this all the way to the base of my lashes and it doesn't irritate my eyes.

They say : Product makes my mascara weird.
My comment : Tried and mascara goes on like normal. Just make sure you want til it dries.

They say : Product leaves very sticky and gooey residue.
My comment : If you apply it properly as recommended, you will have an appropriate amount on your lashes which dries into almost nothing.

They say : Product makes my lashes drop like mad!
My comment : From my experience, yes, my lashes do drop off when I wash my face. However, I don't think this means the serum makes my lashes drop. You see, when you apply the serum, it sticks your lashes together. Your lashes will fall off naturally but are still stuck there cos of the serum. So when you wash your face, they are 'released' and drop off.
