[*Secret*] Gentle cleanser [intimate care]



I have been quite busy with work and haven't updated the blog recently. However, I have been trying different products and would like to share with you all.
If you feel uncomfortable with reading something about the intimate part of your body, please leave this post now.
It has been a long time since I find something that would actually clean the intimate part of the body. It is quite frustrating when it comes to hot and humid weather or near to period times.

SOS skincare for sick days

I have been very sick these few days. My pores are enlarged and in a very unstable condition. I am sure you all have the same feeling as I do, I just want to have some sleep and would like to minimise the skincare I use. However, I cannot stand my skin anymore! I have to do something about it.

I have decided to spare 15 minutes of my sleep to DIY a mask to resuce my skin.

These are the products that I have chosen.

Review: Pearl & Grapfrught Brightening Paper Mask

If you remembered my haul at Choi Fung Hong, you would know that I have bought a mask set from them. I have tried the pearl & grapefruit brightening sheet mask and quite enjoyed using it.

As you can see, the mask fits quite well on my skin, except the chin area.


The mask is very moisturised and I just love the effect it gives. After application of the mask, my skin is hydrated and brightened. No clogged pores effect seen. It instantly brightens up the skin. However, the lasting power is not as high as the other moisturising mask. The lasting power is only 1.5 days - 2. But with the price I got, I just think that it is worth trying.

Review: Sigma Brush clean - Brush Spa

 This gloves have been raved a lot in the Blogging world. It was marketed as a tool where it will bring you to a new experience to wash your brushes. It will ease and make you fell in love with washing brushes.

I was not very sure how it could provide a good experience. So I got it from the Sigma Website and asked one of the ladies from USA to send me. The glove consists of 3 parts.

1. Wash
 2. Rinse
3. Refine

I love the packaging. It is so compact and teaches you how to wash your brush thoroughly.

Normally I use my brush cleanser to clean my brushes. I thought that I have cleansed the brushes thoroughly and disinfected it well. However, I was completely wrong. You may see the video below to see what has happened.


Description:
The Sigma Beauty Sigma Spa™ Brush Cleaning Glove was specially designed as a quick, easy and effective method to deep clean your makeup brush collection. The revolutionary device offers a variety of necessary textures and surfaces for removing all makeup from brushes while using only a small amount of cleaning solution. The dual-sided glove provides a complete cleaning process for both eye and face brushes. Patent pending.
 
Brush Cleaning How-To:
1. WASH - Add a small amount of cleaning solution and water to glove and swirl brush on ‘Wash’ texture to begin deep cleaning the brush(es).
2. RINSE - Place brush under running water and sweep brush back and forth on the ‘Rinse’ texture of the glove to remove makeup residue & soap.
3. REFINE - Swirl brush on the ‘Refine’ texture of the glove for an added deep cleaning
4. RINSE - Place brush under running water & sweep brush back and forth on the ‘Rinse’ texture for a final rinse.
5. SHAPE - Reshape brush bristles by placing brush head on the ‘Shape’ section of the glove while squeezing with your hand to remove excess water.


I was amazed that so many products are being washed off from the gloves. Now I change my brush washing routine to spot cleaning every single week and then using the gloves to wash the brushes every weekend. I would also use a brush guard to hold the hairs in place :)

I had a good experience with Sigma Gloves and it really brought me to another heaven.
You can find their brush gloves here.

Do you have similar experience? Any tips to clean brushes?

Review: Bourjois Cream Blush

If you read my posts before, you would know that I wanted to try the Cream Blush by Bourjois


I got the shade in 2. It cost $120 in Hong Kong.



It is very pigmented. This colour is very suitable for summer. After I have applied this blush, I feel like I have been out in the sun for a while and got a bit tanned. 

However, I find it quite sticky after application. I have to pad a thin layer of powder after applying this blush on the cheeks. I have also used it for contouring and I love it.

Although it can be found in Hong Kong, I think it has been overpriced (compare to the price in UK). Overall, I am satisfied with this product and it will be one of my go-to blush during summer time for sure.

Have you tried the new cream blush from Burjois? How do you feel about this product?
