Aqulabo Mask Boosting Jelly Mist

I always wonder what misting or facial mist do to your skin - aside from freshening up your face or skin, what else does it give you?

That's why I wasn't so keen on putting that in my routine before? I was super minimalist when it comes to skin care routine. I basically just cleanse, tone moisturise. I added up serum later on. But misting, it only happened earlier last year.

There was one time in my life where I actually tried misting - like super early days. Talk about way back 2008. I was in University and my cousin introduced me to this facial mist. He said coming from a night duty in the hospital, you need to have a fresh look - and so comes in misting. It was but a quick and short experience with facial misting that I have totally forgotten about it not until early 2018 - when K-beauty was so hyped up and the 7 skin care routine was on the bloom. Of course I need to jump into the band wagon and also get into misting. The first K-beauty brand that I have tried was Laneige. I definitely fell in love with it and I thought i must not go without.

I have tried other brands, mostly are French brands in the likes of Avene and Evian. The latest were Korean brands like the Benton Tea Tree mist and Heimish.

But moving on to the present, I have the Aqulabo Masking Mask Boosting Jelly Mist. At first I was a bit taken a back - I mean jelly mist? How would that work? A jelly that would turn into mist? I surely have so many questions not until I actually tried it first hand.

So it is indeed jelly but when sprayed it comes out as a mist, not fine but just enough to provide the needed boost for your mask. I actually use this as a normal mist as it is okay to use it that way too.

Feedback:

I have used this mist on top of a mask or on its own for a month and I can say that it has indeed made my masking experience great and my skin care routine even better.

I noticed that it adds up great hydration when I spritz this on top of my mask. Make it more cooler (as some masks are not that cooling) and make my skin drink up all the goodness from this mist and the essence of the mask combined.

I also use this on its own in between toner and essence. And this just adds up some extra layer of hydration, makes the nourishment from the toner locked up with the goodness of this mist.

I also use this to freshen up my face during the day - with or without make up. It cools my skin and it makes me look fresher when I mist on top of my make up.

--

This mist indeed has achieved its claims and I can totally say that I' am beyond happy and lucky to have tried this mist out.

A massive thank you to Aqulabo for letting me try this product.

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse - is this the best French pharmacie dry oil?

I have been wanting to try out this  Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse for a long long time. This dry oil has such a cult following and I want to know why people raves about this.

Since there was a sale on our local online shop, plus it was free shipping  - despite it buying against my will, I decided to finally bite the bullet and and purchase it. I mean, you can't never really argue if it's on sale plus free shipping.

I was peppy and when I finally received it, I was as happy as a lark. This French  pharmacie brand is just so gorgeous and I must say that this is one of the best multi purpose dry oil out there.

So what is the Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse?

From their website:

The iconic dry oil Huile Prodigieuse®, No. 1* in the Oils category in French pharmacies, nourishes, repairs and beautifies the face, body and hair. In 2017, this multi-purpose dry oil has been enriched with highly nourishing Tsubaki oil. Now even more innovative, it is anti-oxidant, has a "shield" effect against pollution** and reduces the appearance of stretch marks. Its addictive scent and unique silicone-free dry oil texture promise a truly Prodigious experience.


-- 

So yes, this is a dry oil.  A multi - purpose dry oil used for the face body and hair, even for stretch marks! It is rich in so many great oils - macadamia seed oil, sweet almond oil, hazel seed oil, camellia seed oil and the likes. It also has tocopherol or vitamin E. I mean, me being me, a lover of anything multi - purpose, I straight away jumped into the bandwagon. Because firstly, it cannot only be use to one thing but there are other two more. With the price tag of $24.44/18.50 GBP, this is definitely a good steal. 

--

Packaging:

The Nuxe Dry oil comes in a glass packaging, it is spray type which makes it easier to take the product out and spread it over to your body. It has a gold cap that makes it more luxurious looking - I really do think packaging plays a big role to attract a customer/consumer to buy a certain product or item. It comes in a 50 ML and 100 ML. I have the latter.

How I use it.

Most of the time use it on my face and it really gives a nice glow after. The oil is so lightweight you won't even know it's there.. The left over oil on my hands I slather on my arms and on my hair. I mean, I want to make sure that I' am using it the best way possible without wasting any product. I sometimes use it as a perfume oil (because it has a gorgeous scent more like a perfume) or spray it at the back of my ears and spray whatever perfume I' am using that day - the oil makes the perfumes scent stay longer plus it's like I have layered two perfumes in that way. 

The best thing about this oil plus me with an oily combination skin is this makes my skin less oily. I mean talk about an oil that makes your skin less oily the day after. I usually wake up with really oily skin in the morning, but with this on the night before, I wake up with less oily skin and I' am so happy about it.

--

I' am seriously obsessed with this product and I can totally recommend this to add in your skin care stash. 

Check out this baby in Beauty Manila - or if you are like me, make sure you wait on their sales so you can snag this for less.

Quest - Journey to Glowing Skin

These days, we're always on the hunt for that glorious glowing skin.

In that aspect we tend to buy numerous skin care products that will provide that teeny sheen or glow on our skin. The glow-y skin we have, the youthful and fresh we look.

I have been on the hunt for that skin care product that will provide me the full package. The brightening, anti ageing and the repairing aspect as well.

--

Quest Glow Nectar has been a big help when it comes to the repairing and brightening aspect. But before we go to details, let me tell you a little something about Quest.

Quest is a brightening and repairing serum. This is a product made from Thailand. Thai are well known for their quest to glow-y and brighter skin.

This product is specifically made to target tired and lackluster skin which s a result from sun damage, stressful lifestyle.

So I have been using Quest Glow Nectar for almost 2 months and I tell you I' am about to actually finish the bottle. I have an eighth left on the current bottle that I have.

I use it everyday, morning and night. This serum is more like of an essence. It doesn't have the oily feel or the thick feel of a serum. It is very light and glides on the skin really well. Also goes well with other products.

I noticed visible results from using this. My pimple marks which turns dark has definitely lighten. Some dark spots and dark discoloration has eventually lighten too. My skin always seems to be so glow-y. And I just love it.

I know that if I would use this longer all the dark spots and the dark pimple marks will definitely go away. I just can't seej to fathom that I' am almost done with my bottle.


The product is 20 ml encased in a glass container with a dropper. You only need 1 to 2 drops with moisturiser on a clean face. And use this in conjunction with sunscreen.

 Given the chance to repurchase, I would definitely do for sure. And I can 100% recommend this. Suitable for any type of skin most especially for Asian skin like mine :)

This part of my face has a slight discoloration, maybe because of using make up and not much of skin care. This has definitely lightened and that pimple mark is way lighter after using Quest Glow Nectar.
