Kose Clear Whitening Mask

I have no idea why I bought this. I have not used any Kose products before and I was not sure if this will even work for me but I decided to go ahead with the purchase.

Perhaps it was the greedy side of me that made me buy it. They were having some kind of package deal. Buy the mask and get a mini toner free.

The set cost me RM89 for 80g of black colour mask that reminds me of the time I bought the Charcoal Mask from Daiso for RM5.

That mask did nothing for my skin other than to remove facial hair and in the process probably removed dead skin cells and some cells as well.

I am surprised I still have a face after using that mask.

Well, this mask is much easier to remove but unfortunately after using half the bottle, I still have yet to see any results. I don't find my skin looking anything remotely clearer, whiter, even or any significant improvement.

I am a little confused.

The only thing it makes me look is... like a pirate.

 Call me Black Beard. Arf!

Yea, I am a little weird, I like applying mask to only half my face, I don't really find any problems on my forehead so usually I like applying it just on the lower half of my face.

It's not recommended to do it this method because if the mask did work, I would have clear, white, even skin on the bottom and the usual patchy, rough, uneven skin on the top. And obviously when using peel of mask like this, it is never advisable to camwhore with BIG goofy grins in case you develop wrinkles. 

Nowadays, I stop being lazy and try to apply it to the entire face because it looks less stupid that way. Not very nice when you have your brother-in-law in the living room and you emerging from the toilet looking totally weird and silly. Thankfully Meowjesty's little brother is only home during summer vacation so he'll never see my silliness in its full glory.

I am still using the mask and I am still waiting to see some kind of results but this has unfortunately been downgraded to 'Will not be repurchasing' category.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Romantic

Everyone probably has it already. Not much a review since I only bought ONE. *snort*

For something that cost less than RM30, it took me a couple of weeks deciding whether to get it or not. Finally got it during a sale in Watsons.

As I grow older, I'll be hitting the big 3-0 next year I realize that I have been buying lip balms and lipsticks to the red-ish side rather than the pinks that I used to love.

I guess now that I no longer colour my hair, the red-ish colour brings some colour to my pale face.

The colour is buildable and can be quite red depending on how many swipes you do. For me, I just use one swipe on the lower lips before evening everything out. I am not comfortable walking around with red lipstick in the office. I just needed something natural for me.

The staying power is not too bad. It last for quite a while and even when it fades a little, it leaves a slight hint of colour on your lips so it's not truly gone gone unless you just had lunch or dinner.

As whether it is moisturizing, I would say that it doesn't feel as good as a lip balm on but not as bad as having a lipstick on. I don't know about you but I don't have much luck with lipsticks since I find them either dry or too oily.

I find the MAC lipsticks drying and the Estee Lauder Crystal lipsticks nice and creamy but it last a good 5 minutes on me before I accidentally lick them off. Bah!

I definitely think that the Revlon Balm Stains are worth the money, I use them everyday and I am not even halfway done yet. A pity I don't see any other colour that catches my eyes.
