Review: Sephora Express - Stop the spot!

By skinformulae | Published Thursday, April 19, 2012

Hello again!! It has been a long time since I posted a review. I have actually quite a number of new purchases waiting for my review but I am currently busy for exam preparation. Physics paper tomorrow X.x.. Hopefully, I will do well.

Today I am going to do a short review my new purchase from Sephora. It is a pimple cream and also a spot remover. Yup it is 2 in 1. (P.S. I just bought a new phone Samsung S2 so the pictures gonna be nicer :) )


Sephora: Stop the spot!

The back of the tube

It comes in a small white tube about 15ml. The application of the product is simple and easy. Since it is a tube-like container with a small hole (look at the photo below) you just have to squeeze out the geland apply it any pimple or spot you want. The gel is transparent (trust me it is really transparent) and it smell like errr.. glue? Haha... I'm not joking.

Structure of the tip for easy application


Transparent Gel

My stand for this product is that it is not sticky on the face and does not leave residue on the face like some pimple cream. It is also effective as I can see visible reduction in pimple size and color intensity seems to reduce after several application. Rate: 4/5

Review: Etude House Skin Malgem Smoother

By skinformulae | Published Sunday, February 26, 2012

Wooohooo! At last I manage to grasp some free time to review skin malgem. I realized many have been visiting this blog for Etude malgem review. But for now, I am only going to review on Etude house skin maglem smoother type. There were several types (6 kind actually for this line) toner that Etude house just released: Fresh, Smoother, Moist, Deep Moist, Essential and Emulsion. They one that I bought is the one that Onew (Shinee) represented (though I am actually fan of Key and Taemin.. hehe). I bought this for only $16.90 shipped from korea. I'm not sure how much it will cost in other country and Singapore. I think this line is yet to be released in local store. But I am sure that it will around $30 or less. (Korean skin products tend to be more expensive in overseas)

Review: TonyMoly Berry Berry Nutrivive Face Scrub

By skinformulae | Published Monday, February 13, 2012

I know I promised to review this product a week ago but I've been so busy with school work :(
Nevertheless, here goes...

I bought TonyMoly Berry Berry Nutrivive Face Scrub for S$10 per 150ml. It's dirt cheap!! So I thought I should give it a try. I never had any proper face scrub anyway. I'm not sure if this can be found in Singapore outlets though.

The big tube of face scrub

The tube is sealed when first received

Make sure the product has the authentic TonyMoly seal (sticker)

The scrub has of maroon/black bits in it to help exfoliate the skin. Its not very clear in the picture. I'll say the concentration of the bits is in the mid-range. I usually put about two cm on my finger to scrub my skin since the bits are not a lot. The scrub has this berry smell (not strong though). When you mixed it with water it does not lather, just very little bubbles.

On my first try, the scrub gives little bumps on my nose and cheeks. Probably comes from the effect of exfoliation and I haven't scrub for quite long. The bumps disappears after a day. I do not get those bumps after subsequent use. I usually get lots of white heads on the area below my lip as well as on my chin. After using this face scrub, I realize the white heads has significantly reduce. I'm really happy with it. However it isn't very effective in reducing black heads on my nose. Gotta use nose pack to remove it. I love the clean feeling after the using the face scrub. My skin is less oily the next day after using the face scrub too.

Overall, I'm quite satisfied with the product. I'll give 4 out of 5 for this.
