Bliv Stem Cell Revival Mask review

Today I'm gonna share with you one of my favorite brand of mask~ BLIV♥

In my previous haul from SASA, I got myself 4 different BLIV masks so now I got 5 different ones. From left:Age Dismission, Sensitive Salvation, Dullness Cessation, Utmost Moisture and Stem Cell Revival. There's actually 2 other masks I don't have in my collection here_Leach Me which wasn't available and Fine Line Stoppage which I forgot to place in my cart :(

I actually like Fine Line Stoppage since it has this lifting effect that's truly amazing. The following day after using that mask, my face felt really tight, you know what I mean. You can really feel the difference!



BLIV masks are like my favorite sheet mask. And here's why:



SILK MASK! It's soft but what I really LOVE about it is how nicely it fits onto my face just like a second skin.

My choice last night: Stem Cell Revival_feel no sluggish~!



This is how it looks like:




So, like usual, before applying this mask, I used Natio's Clay Mask and only then apply this layer of mask. Leave on for about 2o minutes and remove. Wipe off excess a bit since there's really too much of it. After that massage the rest onto face. And get a good night's rest~~

Woke up early this morning feeling totally refreshing. Like all my weariness from the past week's been wiped out. Had an awesome morning~!

Rating : ♥♥♥♥ Totally recommended~! d(≥vO,)

Posts updated!

Yesterday, after completing my assignments I got on my twitter and saw Cheesie posted this:



[caption id="attachment_1725" align="aligncenter" width="490"] snapshot from twitter~[/caption]
I was like, "Rainbow color in storm grey mostly sold out at sasa? I'd love to think it's because of the review I wrote. XP effing vain me! LOLOLOL!!"

Yeah, I did wrote a review on RainbowColor in Storm Gray a month back and Cheesie tweeted about it and posted my blog url and I had like so many visits that particular day I thought I got hacked. Freaked me out back then. So during the search for the 'culprit', I got myself a twitter account(aha...) and found out it was her. So LOL.

Anyway I dropped by SASA at Mid Valley today and found that there's only a box left for RainbowColor in grey color shade! It's awesome if it's really because of my review. Vain me*ahem*.

Planning to get myself the sky blue shade(a must try!) and the circle brown one and storm grey again and then I can't decide between wood ash or earth brown... Not getting them yet tho, wanna use my other lenses first.

Shopping haul from Zalora

Another online haul just arrived today. This time I got a dress from Zalora_a pretty lace dress I spotted on their site. Unfortunately, I would need to return it. For a free size, I find it really huge... Maybe a size 8? I could still tug my arms into the sleeves without unzipping the zipper. And hell is the shoulder cutting so huge it looked baggy. I feel so old in it...




[caption id="attachment_1703" align="aligncenter" width="490"] Unsymmetrical neckline?[/caption]

Even the neckline is a lil' out of shape though it didn't show much in this photo :(


And initially I wanted to match the dress with this collar I found online. Won't be getting it anymore I guess...




[caption id="attachment_1705" align="aligncenter" width="310"] me likey~![/caption]

Gahhhh... This is actually my second haul from Zalora but twice, I didn't get what I wanted. My first buy was this pair of really gorgeous heels:




[caption id="attachment_1708" align="aligncenter" width="490"] mah dream heels! *heart shattered*[/caption]

4 weeks after I made my payment and was eagerly waiting for the arrival, I got a call from customer service and was told it ran out of stock. Like what the hell? And then this dress which I have to send back, at my own expenses. And then I can't get my store credit(from the shoes payment) refunded. Goddamnit.


Gotta get back to doing my report! Been so caught up with 2 assignments I didn't have time to update my review... This weekend I shall do just that! ;D

Neogence ACE Liposome Renewal Whitening Serum Review

Today I am gonna write a review about Neogence ACE Liposome Renewal Whitening Serum from the ACE Neogence Revitalizing Series. Here's how it looks like~



[caption id="attachment_1642" align="aligncenter" width="430"] bought this around 3 weeks ago for RM128 during Sasa's 34th Anniversary Sales (Normal Price RM160)[/caption]

[caption id="attachment_1628" align="aligncenter" width="421"] Milky-colored serum~[/caption]
This serum is a clear, non-greasy liquid which I think absorbs really fast into my skin. And it has a really sweet light scent which I find really soothing~

F.Y.I., I've been using this serum for 2 weeks plus right now and like what I've mentioned in my previous Neogence Revitalizing Series Review, during the first couple of days, I actually used the serum right after using ACE Moisturizing Cream. However, later I figured out that I actually should have apply the serum FIRST before using the cream since it somewhat blocks the serum from being absorbed into the skin. So now, I'm using BOTH this serum and the eye serum after step 1.

After applying this serum, one thing I realized is that my skin tend to turn reddish, an inflammation sorta effect especially around my nose bridge and cheeks. And they appear in blotches but of course, they're gone after a minute or two.

I'm not really sure if this is a normal effect or what but yeah, that happens every single time after I apply this serum~


Anyway, getting into the results part~

2 weeks of this serum routine, is it really as effective as they say it is?

Well, on the plus side, I do (1)realized SOME of my pores on my nose bridge has even out considerably and (2) my skin is slightly fairer . But there's just this 'but' to it.  My scars_the really obvious ones and the ones that really irk me the most_ haven't lightened considerably, or at least that's what I think. Yet, the testimonial in Sasa shows that there's already obvious effect in just 5 days?



[caption id="attachment_1640" align="aligncenter" width="490"] here's the testimonial from an ACE Neogence serum user posted on SaSa FBpage~[/caption]
Yea, just feeling jelly and disappointed here(,=3=,)

Hopefully there'll be a much obvious result  by the time I finish this bottle.



[caption id="attachment_1653" align="aligncenter" width="430"] This much left after 2 weeks++ of usage. Should last for another 3-4 weeks~[/caption]
Will post up photos to compare the results in a couple of days' time. Kinda too occupied to look through and decide which photos to post up. I will also be keeping you guys updated on my progress until I finish this bottle~

Do follow up on this post and thank you for dropping by (OvO,)

~~~♣UPDATE♣~~~

So finally, an update! Apologize for the delay. Been really caught up with assignments (,>.<,)

Anyway, let's get to the results *drum rolls*

Here's the transformation sequence:



[caption id="attachment_1718" align="aligncenter" width="490"] Right side of mah face~[/caption]

[caption id="attachment_1721" align="aligncenter" width="490"] Left side of mah face~[/caption]
Yeah, in the beginning mah right side of the face looks kinda gross isn't it? Left side too...(,T-T,)

So after 5 weeks of using this product, the scars kinda lighten up a lot. I'm so over the moon!! So happy the scars are less visible (TvT/) Also, my skin's so much smoother now. Even the pores are getting smaller! My roomie can see the difference too. What do you think?



[caption id="attachment_1722" align="aligncenter" width="490"] Currently this much left~[/caption]
So, there's actually still much left. I guess that'll take around a month to finish? I shall do a final follow up after 4 weeks or after I finish this bottle. Hope there'll still be more improvement during this period!

Thanks for reading or following up!


I have finish using this serum about a week ago(24th May 2012). You can check out the result in this link. If you're interested on other Ace Neogence product, you may read my review on Ace Neogence Revitalizing and Renewing here.
