For Immediate Relief: BRTC Green Tea Stem Cell Mask

After trying out BRTC Zinnia Stem Cell Mask, I went on to try the Green Tea variant.

CLICK HERE to find out more about the other variants of the newly launched BRTC Stem Cell Mask.

BRTC Green Tea Stem Cell Mask is infused with powerful regenerative energy and nutrients of ginseng stem cells. The ginseng stem cells, collagens, and other nutrients nurture and improve mature, damaged skin for a healthier and more luminous complexion.

BRTC Stem Cell Mask is made of lyocell fibers with 100% natural, biodegradable, and skin-affinitive cellulose. The mask material is good as it does not tear easily. By the way, it comes with eye AND lip flaps for additional pampering. It fits my face contours well and adheres snugly without falling off, despite me multi-tasking.

My skin is pretty sensitive, prone to getting red easily after extraction. This is a highly recommended mask for immediate (redness) relief as it is very soothing. The redness on my skin is all gone after removing the mask. All I see is glowing, clear skin with barely seen pores! My skin feels and looks rejuvenated after mask-ing.

Like the BRTC Zinnia Stem Cell Mask, it leaves a sticky feel aftermath. I rinse the face with water, to get rid of the stickiness.

This mask is exclusively available at Sasa >> 5pcs box set for $25 (not sold individually).

BRTC Zinnia Stem Cell Mask [Anti-Blemish Mask for Sebum Control]

This is a mask that I'll totally recommend for bad skin days - BRTC Zinnia Stem Cell Mask.

CLICK HERE to find out more about the other variants of the newly launched BRTC Stem Cell Mask.

BRTC Zinnia Stem Cell Mask is infused with anti-inflammatory and skin regenerative energy from zinnia callus extract. Zinnia callus extract and botanical ingredients quickly relieve irritating and sensitive skin while controlling excessive sebum for a purer, clearer complexion.

Here's the ingredient list, for your reference.

The mask is made of lyocell fibers with 100% natural, biodegradable, and skin-affinitive cellulose. It feels sturdier than the common sheet masks (think MBD). It comes with eye AND lip flaps.

The cutting is pretty good, fits my face contours well. It also adheres well throughout the mask-ing session.

Here's a closer look at the mask.  

I remove the mask, after leaving on for 15mins. 

It definitely gives instant results, as shown on the "before" and "after" image above. The blemished skin on my forehead, looks less irritated, clearer and more hydrated. The fine lines are almost gone... but they 'return' the day after :,/

Overall, I really like the mask for its excellent soothing and hydrating benefits. The only thing I dislike, is the icky sticky feeling it leaves aftermath. Well... just need to rinse the face after mask-ing (:

You can get this mask exclusively at Sasa. It is not sold individually - 5pcs box set for $25.

A Neutral LOTD [feat. Integrate Rainbow Grade Eyes BR701]

The 1st quarter of 2012 is ending in a week's time... Woah~ Time really flies!

So far, I've been good, trying to haul necessarily instead of excessively. I recently did some packing and found myself with "new" makeup and skincare to play with use. Needless to say, there is also a considerable amount of old ones that need to be discarded.

One of the "new" makeup I managed to find in my abandoned stash is Integrate Rainbow Grade Eyes BR701. It consists of a glitter shade (the slanted striped one), 3 powder shades in the shape of a heart (2/3 to be precise. heh.) and a cream-colored base.

[pictured left to right]:

white rainbow glitter powder, cream-colored base, shimmery champagne nude, shimmery dark taupe, shimmery brownish black.

All the shades are very pretty. I would say they're decently pigmented, considering typical Japanese brand eyeshadows are quite sheer. I love the cream-colored base, as it imparts a pretty glowy sheen sans shimmers.

The powder eyeshadows feel silky smooth, not cheap powdery kind. The shimmers they contain are very finely milled. They're really easy to work with and blend really beautifully.

As for the sparkly rainbow glitter shade, it feels smooth but not densely packed though. A good eye primer like Urban Decay or TFSI will help prevent fall-outs.

I like the color combination though it's clearly not that unique. I'm glad that they hold up well without the use of an eye primer -- no creasing or fading at the end of day.

For this look, I applied the base color then the powder eyeshadows using the easy "gradient" effect. To keep the look simple, I didn't use the rainbow glitter powder.
