Weekend skin pamper (Saturday)

During the weekdays, I don't usually pamper my skin very much. I'm always rushing for time in the mornings before work, so it's a quick cleanser-toner-moisturiser routine for weekday mornings. On weekday nights, I'm too tired to do anything fancy, so it's also a quick cleanser-toner-moisturiser routine, with the occasional mask or acne cream. 

That's precisely why I tend to go out all out during the weekends. I go crazy on the skincare front and pamper my skin as much as possible. Some of you may think I'm cuckoo to be using so many products, but seriously think about it, there's no way you can undo things when you regret in the future. Better start early! Also, this does not mean I'm using random products on my skin. Nope, nope, nope. I have used the products mentioned for quite a while and they are products that are suitable for my skin type (oily, acne-prone) and they don't break me out at all. 

On Saturdays, I like to tackle my acne-prone skin. On Sundays, I tackle my large pores. Here are all the products that I use on Saturdays. Do note that some products are repeat ones, I don't have like 7 different cleansers and 7 different moisturisers for 7 days lah. I want but aiyoh no space no space.

Favourite Sheet Mask: Leaders Insolution AC-Dressing Skin Clinic Mask

I have tried so many sheet masks, but I always ended up going back to the Leaders Insolution AC-Dressing Skin Clinic Mask. It's one of my most favourite sheet masks to use and it's also one of the most effective. 

There are many sheet masks out there that claim to target acne-prone skin, but they simply do nothing for acne-prone skin! The least such a sheet mask can do is to reduce redness after one to two applications, but most of them just performed way below expectations. The Leaders Insolution AC-Dressing Skin Clinic Mask, on the other hand, remains to be the only sheet mask that works for my acne-prone skin. 

How amazing is this sheet mask? 

Let me give you an example on how effective this mask is. 

Last night, I had a major skin turmoil. My nose and upper lip area were extremely red and painful, and I could feel a few pimples forming. So I went ahead with my normal cleansing and exfoliating routine, and then applied this mask. Instantly, the affected area felt cold and less painful. After a good 45 minutes, I removed the mask, and astonishingly, the redness had disappeared quite a bit and I could only feel slight pain. After that, I just applied my usual moisturiser with a little bit of tea tree oil, and I went to sleep. 

This morning, I woke up to no redness on my face and although the painful sensation is still lingering, it's nothing to be bothered about. I'm so pleased with how the Leaders Insolution AC-Dressing Skin Clinic Mask has worked on my skin! And it's only after ONE application. 

One more reason to love this Leaders Insolution range of masks is how well the sheet mask covers your face. The sheet mask is made out of a gel-cloth material and this enables the mask to perfectly fit every angles and corners on your face. No air bubbles at all and you don't feel like you have a stiff sheet mask on. It's like you soaked a damn expensive tissue in damn good liquid and applied it on your face. Very luxurious feeling, for just slightly over S$2! 

I bought 5 of these and I'm scared of running out. I think I need to get more!! 

It's available in Watsons and Luxola.com, but if you want to buy it cheaper, you can buy it on Qoo10!

There are 8 different variations in the range, so there's definitely one that will suit your individual skin concerns!!

I'm not sponsored to write this review at all. I just love the Leaders Insolution AC-Dressing Skin Clinic Mask too much! It's like a miracle skincare product for me!!

Smoochiezz Haul (April 2013) - e.l.f Studio cosmetics, Leaders Insolution masks, O.P.I nailpolishes

While walking back to Tanjong Pagar MRT from a job interview (which was a success, HOORAH! No more job-hunting!! They also read this blog, so HELLO!!), I realised I was in Tanjong Pagar Xchange! I can buy cheeky makeup stuff from Smoochiezz! It was the best walk-to-an-MRT-station ever because I wanted to spend some moolah!! 

I got myself quite a few random things, which totalled to S$39. Not too bad. Not too bad! I controlled myself very very well because initially I wanted to get the NYX Nude on Nude Palette, but I decided to save up for the LORAC palette instead. VERY GOOD. 

Beauty items:

• e.l.f studio Eyebrow Kit in medium (amazing stuff, review coming up soon!) - S$7
• e.l.f Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder in Sun Kissed (this is a repurchase! I used up my last one COMPLETELY. Love this product so very much) - S$4

Skincare items:

• Leaders Insolution Teatree Relaxing Skin Renewal Mask (1 for S$3, 2 for S$5)
• Beauty Clinic AC-Dressing Ampoule Mask (1 for S$3, 2 for S$5)

Nail items:

• O.P.I The Blondettes Collection (or The Skyfall collection) - S$20
• mini Seche-Vite topcoat (I misplaced my other one booooo) - S$3

Overall, I'm pleased with my haul. Tried everything out (except the masks) and so far so AMAZING! :) Smoochiezz really earning a lot from me. HAHAHA. Thank goodness the company is moving to another location soon, but I may need to rethink the "thank goodness" part because apparently the new location is only a 3-minute walk away. So, expect to earn more from me, Smoochiezz!! :D
