Hong kong Trip

Went to hk early this month n bought lots of skincare products! Esp from sk2.. Haha. Surprisingly, sk2 is much cheaper in hk than in japan! N i got plenty of free gifts!!

Sk2 facial treatment clear lotion

I first got to try these as i bought a starter 14 days trial kit which consist of a small bottle of this, a 75ml facial treatment eccense, a tiny tub of skin signature cream, a piece of facial treatment hydrating mask and some cotton pads. I was a bit skeptical about using this on my skin as it contains a tiny bit of bha and aha.. My skin did not react well (brokeout) with paula's choice bha thus i thought my skin just dosent like bha.

I pour this generously onto the cotton pad provided and wipe it through my t zone first follow by my cheeks. It did not sting at all and the cotton pad came off a little yellowish though ive just cleansed my skin with an aha/bha cleanser! Just after 1-2 use, i noticed that the pores on my nose looks almost gone and the blackheads are almost nowhere to be seen! (i do not have terrible strawberry nose but i do have visible pores with tiny black dots when i look closely at my nose but now they are gone!)

I use it in conjunction with the facial treatment eccense and skin signature cream.

Scary yea? (the cotton pad) lol

毛穴 powder

Bought this pore powder from the drugstore at only about sgd$20! I was rather reluctant to try cosmetics from the drugstores as im very breakout prone so i feel safer to buy higher ends products.. But this powder is highly raved in cosme.net (a review site for all cosmetics and skincare in japan) so i decided to try it out.

Been using for about a month (everyday) and no breakouts!! It contains some moisturising ingredients too. Totally not drying though it seems to control oil rather well.

Coverage.. Needless to say! Amazing! See my photos! It covers very well without looking too heavily made up and dosent clog the pores.. Amazing powder! Im not using anything under nor on top of this powder.

This comes in 3 shades and i bought the medium beige (for normal skin tone). It also comes with a really soft and fluffy sponge! Love it!

Sk2 facial treatment eccense

Many of my friends claim that this fte is a "miracle water" (as advertised in singapore) so i decided to give it a try when my skin condition was really bad and im glad i did! Indeed, i didnt get any new pimple while using this and the pores on my cheeks looks much smaller. However, i feel its not moisturising enough as my skin gradually got rough.. Not bumpy. Just rough. It looks great (no bumps no pimples, even coloured) but the touch is not what im looking for..

Nevertheless, im continuing using it and at the same time try my best to moisturise it more. I started out using cotton pad but i felt that might be the reason why my skin felt dry so recently i changed to patting it on by my hands. So far so good. It never fails to calm my skin down whenever my skin condition is bad. If the touch of my skin is smooth, i guess i can say its my miracle water too!!

Collagen jelly!!

This is rated no.1 in cosme.net (a japanese beauty review/ranking site). It has only about 1000mg of collagen but contains 108 types of herbs, vegetables and fruits! Its the first time i see such a long ingredient list in a collagen supplement!

Pros:
-Delicious (taste like grapefruit jelly)
-Easy to bring around
-Contains lots of herbs, ingredients n fruits
-No hassle since you do not need to mix with any drink etc
-reasonable priced (about sgd50 for a month)

Cons:
None

Results:
I started taking 2 sticks for few days then reduced to 1 per day as instructed. Im not taking this consistently as im taking fancl htc collagen powder too so i cant comment about the results but its a very convenient way to get collagen!
