I have been so disappointed with the results of masks from “My Scheming Beauty” range, I was quite prepared to stop trying the rest.
Function
Moisturising & Brightening
Improves cell renewal & elasticity
Smoothens wrinkles
Verdict: 5/10 This is suppose to be a gentle formula for sensitive skin, but I still feel a slight tingling feeling. The fragrance is not great but acceptable. Moisturising and brightening effect is present but barely noticeable.
Provides your skin an intensive and immediate radiance action, revealing a more luminous and transparent skin in only 10 minutes.
One mask is impregnated with the same quantity as one week of whitening cream treatment.
For optimal results, use 5 masks in 5 days in a row.
Verdict : 6.5/10. There is instant radiance action but whitening effect is not visible at all. The moisturising effect is good. For this price range, I would prefer Neutrogena’s Fine Fairness Mask as the results are far better.
Contains carrot extract full of vitamin A, marine collagen and royal jelly that moisturizes and tightens the dry and sensitive eye rims. Hydro-gel, which offers excellent skin affinity, contains an extensive portion of nutrients that gets absorbed into the eye rims easily
Remove transparent film of eye sheet and put the patch under the eye area. Remove the outer white film and leave the patch on for 30 – 45 minutes until its serum is completely absorbed.
Verdict: It provides moisture to dry eye rim but I am not so convince about improving elasticity. If you are looking for something that helps with dark eye circles, this will not be the right product. It is sold at S$5 in Singapore, definitely not worth the value.
Patch -type nose pack which purifies pores with chlorophyll and astringency of chlorella.
Chorella’s chlorophyll removes keratin, hidden sebum in the pores and blackheads. The astringent material extracted from plants makes your nose clean.
Use on clean nose area and peel off the transparent film. Apply the smooth side on your nose. Quickly place it onto your nose and remove it after it is completely dried.
I can’t believe they are selling this at S$2.10 per patch in Singapore. It is so overpriced. It does not work well at all. You can get better results with Biore blackhead strips at much lesser price. The green stuff on this patch tends to smear on my fingers when I try to place it properly on my nose. Such disappointment!
Functions:
Boost Skin Metabolism
Reduce appearance of dark pigmentation spots
Improves moisture retention
Restores Skin elasticity
Verdict: 6.5/10 I am quite surprised that this mask did brighten my skin and has a slight whitening effect. My skin feels really hydrated after using. It states ” A daily regime, for 6 days (1 sheet/day) will renew your skin and improve texture”. After one sheet, the result has already surpassed my expectation, so it’s worth a try to do this for 5 more days. When I have finished my current batch of various face masks, I will perhaps complete the full 6 days regime.
Main Ingredient : Red Wine Polyphenol, hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Witch Hazel Extract and Vitamin E
Functions:
Prevents aging and Promotes Blood Circulation of the skin
Accelerates Skin Regeneration
Repairs Damaged Skin
Restores skin elasticity
Allows the skin to be firm & gives a rosy complexion
Verdict : 1/10 The smell of this mask is really terrible. It does not seem to perform any of the functions as mentioned above. I gave it 1/10 just because it did not give me any allergic reaction.
I bought this because it states:
The Perfect Solution to these Problems:
Brow makeup doesn’t last the whole day!
No time for touch up!
Brow make-up disappears after a swim!
I have rather light and sparse eyebrows, therefore eyebrow makeup is a must! I often have to touch up my eyebrow makeup throughout the day as it tends to fade. When my little boy is with me, I do not have the luxury to touch up and I am so conscious of my faint brows.
How to Use:
After drawing brows, apply a coat of brow coating. It will look wet but will dry and appear natural.
It is suppose to withstand perspiration, oil sebum, water and rubbing.
I must say it works well to withstand perspiration and oil sebum. My brow makeup was able to last the entire day, no need to touch up.
I tried swimming with this, but it is not that water resistant. Don’t think it will help if you are in the water for more than 1o minutes.
The coating will come off if you really rub your brows but a light brush over the brows is still fine.
If anyone knows of any eyebrow makeup that is really water-resistant, I will be most grateful and interested to know.
Main ingredients: Green tea extract, barley extract, collagen, aloe extract and watercress extract
Functions : Minimise pores, reduce pigmentation, improve coarse and uneven skin.
Verdict : 1/10 This is the worst mask from My Scheming Beauty Mask Range that I have tried so far. The smell is not pleasing. There is no visible effect. Seems like quite a waste of money.
