Oh Looky: Maskie

Caolion was mentioned by Michelle Phan before in her youtube channel (long time ago it seems) ang got curious.  I got these 3 for a good deal.

The O2 Bubble Pore Pack is really bubbly, the bubbliest that I tried from bubbles pore packs.  It creates really dense bubbles and really helps lift whatever gunk in my pores.

The Blackhead Steam Pore Pack is ohhhh so hot.  Definitely no steaming needed when I use this.  It's a bit scary at first but it will slowly cool down which is like a timer for me to take it off and move on to the next mask.

Pore Original Pack is the cool one.  After the steamy session with the Steam Pore Pack, this is likealike nice breeze to the face.  It cools and "closed" the pores that completes the whole cleaning of pores experience.

These three Caolion products works well together for a heallthy, small looking pores.

Sheet Masks of course are the basics although I'm trying my best to limit using them (there's already al of garbage in this world.

My go to brands are Innisfree and My Scheming.  I usually get them on buy 1 get 1 deals so it's light on the pocket.

Innisfree is overall moisturizing and non irritating and since I have dry ski, I can get away with not washing the excess essence.

My Scheming, does the same thing but a little better in the sense that the material used in the mask itself is thinner (but still sturdy) which just sticks to my skin even if I move around.  It's essence is also non sticky, my skin just loves to absorb it.

Honorable mention is The Face Shop's Real Nature Sheet mask.

I also got some great deal with the Laneige Regenerating Mask and Mediheal Mask.

The Mediheal one is an upgrade from the roadshop brands - better mask quality and less stickier essence.

Laneige Regenerating Mask is LUXE! The mask itself is made of this jelly or young coconut like flesh, it's just nice and smooth to the skin when applied.  It's essence is also a major upgrade at hindi tinipid - I just feel so young and refreshed and my face looking brighter and less tired (medyo parang nagpafacial ako pag eto ginamit ko).

TOMATOX

One of Tony Moly's best selling product is now in my hands.  Many have already shared their experiences with this product, most of them have oily, normal or combination skin.  I on the other hand have dry, sensitive skin so for those who have skin type like mine, hope this entry can be of great help to you.

Tony Moly's best-seller the TOMATOX Magic White Massage Pack.

It is a multi-functional massage and pack that contains tomato extract and tomato ingredient. It is designed to bring instant dual magic brightening and vitalizing and detoxifying effects into the skin.

As a soft massage and wash off mask, Tomatox Magic White Massage Pack delivers highly vitalizing, truly clarifying, magic brightening, skin hydrating and protecting effects to the skin, leaving it amazingly bright, clear and supple.

HOW TO USE:

After cleansing, apply on towel-dried face and gently massage for about 1~2min. After massaging, leave it on your face for 5~10min. Rinse out with lukewarm water and pat with towel. 2~3times use per week or use everyday as needed. -from Tony Moly Philippines

White and creamy in color and texture.  The smell is more like other über commercialize moisturizers rather than a real tomato.  The packaging is of course; CUTE, it has even a stem on top like a real tomato should be.  Upon opening, a plastic white lid  and a spatula will greet you.  The plastic box enclosing the tomato is also beautiful in red with 2 green leaves on top and has english description and instruction on one side (hoopla!!!).

So after washing and towel drying my face, I apply a "spatula-full" amount on my face and neck spreading evenly in a circular motion (since it's faster this way).  I let the product stay for 5 to 10 minutes but not for more than 10 minutes.  Why?  As I said, I have dry-sensitive skin and as per my observations, here's what happened to my face:

5 minutes                  - okay and gives the instant whitening the product promises

6 to 10 minutes          - kinda drying, it makes my face a little itchy

more than 10 minutes - small red spots appeared

I use Tomatox; most of time, once a week only.  The other times?  Whenever  I have pimples (as it helps in drying them out fast) and when my face feels oily, both of which seldom happens.

...with the flash on..Tomatox sure looks like a real tomato...

Thanks for reading.  Till then.  Bye!
