My reviews:
I feel that this mask is very wet when but it doesn't drip and make it very messy for me to put on. I'm amazed to know that the mask is soaked with essence(25g) so we can maximise the effect during masking. My face feels more radiant and very hydrated after putting it on for 15minutes. As I've got quite a big face, the mask fits my face nicely and covered all areas.
In order not to waste the essence on the mask as it was still wet after I removed, I apply it on my neck for another 15minutes so as not to waste the essence on the mask which was still very wet :)

I like the material of the mask and the amount of essence used as it stills feel very wet after 15minutes unlike some mask which I've tried and the mask starts to dry up after 10minutes.

Most importantly, we must apply a night cream after masking so that it'll lock up the essence and moisture else we'd have wasted the masking process. I tried the Aloe & Lavendar Mask and slept without putting on any night cream, thinking it was very hydrated. And the next morning, I felt my face was drier than normal.

I'll certainly stock up on this mask at John Little. I prefer this mask to the Aloe & Lavendar Mask as this has double effects for me, radiant + hydrating.

Elishacoy Organic Facial Essence Mask is available at John Little departmental store & www.secretive.sg


Elishacoy Organic Facial Essence Mask is retailing at S$22.90 per box(5 pieces).

AQUALABEL: Workshop

As part of the "Unravel Your Blogging Power" contest, AQUALABEL organised a workshop for bloggers who entered the contest.

I attended the session as I wanted to know more about the whole range of products that they carry especially the whitening range :) I would also be able to try on my face and see the results for myself immediately.

Yanny, the trainer, gave a detailed explanation of each stages of the contest, followed by the introduction of AQUALABEL and each of the products they had.

As she went through each step for our daily skincare regime, we tried the product at the same time :) She told us that all AQUALABEL products comes with a rose fragrance.

1. Aqualabel Deep Clear Oil Cleansing
- this is my all-time favourite as it's cleanse well and it's very affordable.
- the rose fragrance was very nice and soothing :)

2. Aqualabel White Up Lotion (S)
- the next step should be the Aqualabel White Clear Foam. However there's no basin available, we skip this step but we used a hot towel to remove the cleansing oil from our face.
- this product is very cooling when we apply it on our face with a cotton pad.
- There was an alcohol smell which was still bearable.
- I couldn't really smell any rose fragrance on it though.

3. Aqualabel Bright White Ex
- this produc is highly raved in the tw entertainment programme, 女人我最大 due to this ingredient called M-tranexamic acid(傳明酸) which is one of the most effective ingredients to lighten pigmentation in the market now.
- the texture is just nice, not too thick and greasy and yet it's easily absorbed by the skin.

4. Aqualabel Reset White Mask
- we put this on for 10 minutes.
- I like the design of this mask as it fits very nicely on my face.
- the application of this mask is very hassle-free 'cos it's very wet but it doesn't drip when I remove the mask from the pack.
- they also designed the mask with a little elasticty so that it fit nicely.
- the face looks more radiant and hydrated. We're also taught how to massage the essence on our face after we remove the mask to that the essence on our face won't go to waste and it'll also aid in the absorption into our skin before we continue with thennext step.

5. Aqualabel White Up Emulsion
- I like the texture but it doesn't leave a greasy feeling after application.
- it has a little tinge of rose fragrance in it.


6. Aqualabel Aqua Enhancer WT
- This is the star product and it can be used with any product prior to this.
- I did not feel anything different after applying this as it feels like a toner to me.
- we're told to pat it in as this is to help the products applied prior to this to be more easily absorbed by the skin.
- I'd suggest getting a good brand of cotton pad to be used with this enhancer as the usual one we get from watsons aren't so good, they'll leave some cotton on my face after patting.

7. Aqualabel White Up Cream
- This is the last step we'd use to apply during the night as it'd help to further moisturise and lock it in.
- This product is thick but again, it's easily absorbed into the skin and it leaves a silky feel on the skin.
- In the day, this product will be replaced by the Aqualabel Perfect Protect Milk UV SPF50 PA+++(when you're doing outdoor activities) or Aqualabel White Protect Milk UV (for daily use)

I tried the Perfect Protect Milk UV SPF50 and I love it! the texture is so light yet it was able to have SPF50 in it. Will definitely get this after I've finished my fancl sunblock.

Thanks AQUALABEL for organising this workshop, it was a very interesting session where I got to learn more about the products and got to meet other bloggers too :)

AQUALABEL: Unravel your Blogging Power

Was informed by Aqualabel that I was able to participate in the contest "Unravel the Blogging Power" organised by Aqualabel.

I went down to NAC Watsons with my favourite AQUALABEL product to have a potrait shot and to meet YES 933 DJ Siau Jiahui. It was pretty interesting as this is the first time I've seen her in person although I find her voice very familar :) She did a brief introduction of the AQUALABEL products and interviewed some bloggers as well as the public.

After which I went to take a potrait shot with my favourite product, AQUALABEL DEEP CLEAR OIL CLEANSING.

This is a high performance cleansing oil that eliminates makeup, old keratin cells and sebum plugs in the pores, revealing translucent glowing skin without depriving my skin of moisture.

I love the rose mist fragrance and the texture of the cleansing oil is very light yet it cleanse my face of the makeup very well.

I got my virgin bottle from Taiwan last year and fell in love with it due to the fragrance. It always made me happier whenever I use it :) Each time i use about 50cents coin size for my whole face.


Direction of use:
  • apply the cleansing oil on a dry face.
  • Massage for 1-2 mintures.
  • Rinse off and follow up with my cleanser.

How long does each bottle last?
  • this bottle was able to last me about 6 months as I put on very minimal makeup for work.
I bought another bottle from Watsons NAC as my current bottle is finishing.

Price: S$18.50 for 150ml.

Final verdict: This is definitely more affordable to the previous FANCL cleansing oil that I've been supporting for years as the savings is almost 50% and I don't hv to worry about the products expiring so soon.

rating: 5 out of 5

Will definitely try out the Aqua enhancer. Heard alot of raves by the bloggers during the event but unfortunately the whitening one is out of stock. Will need to hunt for them at other Watsons outlet while they're having the promotion of getting 20 points for watsons card member with each AQUALABEL product purchase.
