REVIEW: Petitfee Black Pearl & Gold Hydrogel Eye Patch

~AG~

Finally done with Petitfee Gold EGF Eye Patch and decided to get more eye patch. One tub of 60 patches lasted me 8 months. This time decided to try the Petifee Black Pearl & Gold Hydrogel Eye Patch instead. It costs S$13.67 (S$9.83) from iHerb. The Black Pearl & Gold Eye Patch is cheaper than the Gold EGF Eye Patch (S$30). That is less than half the price. Similarly, it also comes with 60 eye patches.

Made with black pearl and gold powder, this eye mask is full of amino acids to help regeneration and purification of the skin. Infused with grapefruit, green tea, mugwort, tangerine and cucumber extracts to hydrate the eye area and reduce puffiness. It supposedly brighten dark under eye area. 

So what I like to do with these eye patches is to store it in the fridge. The hydrogel eye patches feel refreshing when it is cooled. After cleansing and applying toner, I leave on the eye patches for 30 minutes. I usually put them on at night before bed. These eye patches are soaked with essence to nourish the skin.

Somehow I prefer the Petitfee Gold EGF Eye Patch. It seems to work better to hydrate and refresh the eyes area. Though my dark circles are not reduced by using either of the eye patch. Overall, would not repurchase Petitfee Black Pearl & Gold Hydrogel Eye Patch.

~AG~

Sulwhasoo is one of the premium brands under the Amore Pacific group. Other brands under the Amore Pacific group includes Laneige, Etude House, innisfree, Hera and mamonde. Having tried a few sleeping mask, I appreciate the convenience and moisturizing effects of an overnight mask. This Sulwhasoo Energy Mask is special because of its Jadesphere technology. This product contains jade capsules to to increase the absorption of the nourishing components. Since discovering Mount Lai Jade facial roller, this Radiance Energy Mask would be a good product to pair with it.

This is one of the most luxurious skincare product that I have purchased. It costs S$90.80 for a 80 ml tub. A huge tub such as this, should lasts me at least 6 months if I were to use 2-3 times a week. It comes with a small green scoop to dispense the product. Though, I usually scoop the product using my fingers instead. You are to apply this as the last step of your skincare. This clarifying sleeping mask is designed to detoxify and nourish the skin throughout the night.

This sleeping mask has a nice texture. It does not feel sticky or heavy on the skin as Laneige Sleeping Mask. Since I sleep in an air conditioned room all night, my skin can feel tight and dry in the morning, even though I apply moisturizer. This Sulwhasoo Radiance Energy Mask makes my skin feels well hydrated the next morning. Recently, I have been using it 3 times a week and noticed that it keeps my skin hydrated and balanced. My sensitive skin did not have any adverse reaction to this product. Since the texture of the cream is rather light, it did not clogged the pores or cause new breakouts. 

This is a great addition to my skincare regimen. Even though it is expensive, I highly recommend it. The soft and light texture is perfect for my combination skin. This overnight mask effectively hydrates my dehydrate skin. Sulwhasoo Radiance Energy Mask makes my skin feels smoother and softer after use. In terms of radiance, I cannot really tell the difference. But it helps improve the overall texture of the skin. Would definitely repurchase it!

REVIEW: The FaceShop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Foam

~AG~

So after going several bottles of  Avène Gentle Cleansing Foam, my skin has decided to try a different cleanser. Since my skin has been on the drier side lately, a cream cleanser would be a good alternative. The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Foam is a gentle cleansing foam that is enriched with rice water. Due to its creamy texture, it cleanses the skin without irritation. Bought it from Style Korea when they were having an offer for US$8 (S$11). This is a more affordable cleanser compared to Avene Gentle Cleansing Foam. It comes a squeeze packaging with 150 ml of product. Since I only use facial cleanser at night, this product will lasts me a while. 

The Rice Water Bright line contains rice water that is enriched with Vitamin A, B, E, ceramide and minerals that brighten and nourish the skin. After using it for over a month, The FaceShop Rice Water Cleansing Foam did not cause any breakouts or irritation to my ultra sensitive skin. The texture of this FaceShop Cleansing Foam is a whipped cream. The Cleansing Foam has a nice scent that reminds me of baby soap. The natural ingredients in the cleanser remove impurities while leaving the skin soft.

The FaceShop Rice Water Cleansing Foam comes in a plastic squeeze packaging that is durable enough for traveling. I have dropped the plastic packaging from a height of above 1 meter, and the cleanser is still okay. Though, I would prefer if this product comes in a small version so that it would be lighter to travel with instead of carrying 150 ml of product, which adds up to the baggage weight.

I would definitely repurchase The FaceShop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Foam. It is an affordable cleanser that gently removes impurities without causing the skin to feel dry. Since it is a cleansing foam, it lathers well and feels comfortable on the skin. You only need a pea-sized amount of this Rice Water Cleansing Foam to thoroughly cleanse the whole face. Overall, I would recommend The FaceShop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Foam to those with normal-dry skin types.
