Dress Me Mask

I'm so thrilled to receive 3 masks from The Sample Store and Dress Me for reviews.

The 3 mask are:
1) Whitening & Brightening Mask


  • Morus Nigra Fruit Extract lightens pigmentation while whitens the skin and helps to slow down aging process, keeping skin supple. It contains flavonoids ,aminos and minor elements Cu, Zn and Fe that have anti-oxidant properties.
  • Azelaic Acid is a component of grains, such as wheat, rye and barley. It reduces the formation of pigmentation and is an anti-bacterial that inhibits the development of bacteria in pores. It reduces formation of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) and also assists in skin lightening.
  • Ginkgo Biloba Extract helps to increase blood circulation, boosts collagen formation and activating cell metabolism, which slows down the aging process. It has anti-inflammatory, anti-allergenic and anti-oxidant properties that protect the skin. The extract also helps in skin whitening.
  • Glycyrrhizinate Glabra (Licorice) Leaf Extract is an anti-inflammatory agent that reduces skin redness and has anti-allergic properties that reduces skin sensitiveness while relaxes the skin.
  • Sodium Hyaluronate effectively binds to water and retains moisture within skin 500 times more. This increases moisture level in skin and boosts skin’s natural collagen formation while providing a barrier of protection for the skin.
  • Gigawhite is a plants-derived, preservative-free skin lightener that produces whitening effects and has skin-barrier functions. It reduces age spots and inhibits pigmentation.
2) Revitalizing & Firming Mask
  • The green tea extract has anti-oxidant properties that remove toxins from skin while reducing redness or inflammation to clear up skin problems. The extract helps to promote the health and formation of collagen that maintains firm and supple skin. Polyphenols found in green tea has cell-protecting function that controls cell damage when exposed to radiation.

Directions:
Apply Mask after your normal face wash routing. Lightly pat remaining essence on the face until fully absorb. Leave for 15 minutes, no rinsing required.



I tried Dress Me Whitening & Brightening Mask and Dress Me Revitalizing & Firming Mask and I really like how well the mask fits on my face nicely and the size of the sheet mask fits nicely on the face without being too big or small. Each sheet mask has a plastic sheet attached to the paper mask so that it's easy for my to open the mask before fitting it to my face and it isn't messy at all because the liquid content on the sheet mask was wet but it doesn't drip everywhere I remove it from the packaging and try to open it before putting it on my face.

I'd give 5/5 for the design and packaging of the mask.

My reviews on Dress Me Whitening & Brightening Mask:
After applying for 15 minutes, the mask was still wet which I felt that it was very good as they really put alot of essence on the sheet mask. I could apply the mask on my neck after 15minutes to act as a neck mask. After using the mask, I felt that it really whiten my skin by one tone and my face also felt more radiant. I also felt that it helped my moisturiser to be more easily absorbed and the radiance was still there when I woke up in the morning which was really amazing.

I'd give 4/5 for the efficacy of the mask.

My reviews on Dress Me Revitalizing & Firming Mask:
After applying for 15 minutes, the mask was still wet just like the Whitening and Brightening Mask I used on my first try which I believe it's the same for all Dress Mask. Hence I very much believe that all mask can be used for dual function as a face and neck mask. After using this mask, I could feel that my face looks sharper near the check area and my face seems more toned. The mask doesn't have any fragrance which is very soothing and relaxing for me.

I'd give 4/5 for the efficacy of the mask.

I'd certainly purchase these mask as the promotions available are so attractive and affordable as each mask is only retailing at $1.05 after 50% discount.

Prestige Warehouse Sales Hauls

Today I went to the Prestige Warehouse sales at Bukit Merah. I was pretty disappointed with the amount of sales items available as I was expecting more skincare/bodycare but I guess most of them were already sold out by the time I'm there as today is already the second day of the sales. There's alot of perfume on sales though. Wanted to get a few for myself but there're too many to choose from and after a while, I got so confused that I decided not to get any and there's too many people around so just got what I wanted and quickly left the place.

I got myself pretty good deals, Givenchy whitening serum for $30 and Givenchy spot corrector for $25. I also got myself a Gap body mist for $9.

I guess I've got to be there on the first days of the sales to get better deals.

Movie Review: Hello Stranger

Went to catch this movie "Hello Stranger". Was abit skeptical about the movie as it's a thai movie and I thought Thai movies were usually about Ghost or Fighting storyline.

This turned out to be a romantic comedy which I loved it very much. It also showed many places of interest in Korea which really interest me as I've never been there before. It was such a hilarious movie that I laughed throughout the movie except almost towards the end when I was very touched by the male n female lead which made me cried abit :P

But nonetheless, it was a very good movie and I would highly recommend to everyone who wish to have a good laugh and lighten their mood.
