All I wanted was to get $38 worth of mask to sign up for their membership because I really love their masks after my favourite duo photographer got some for me from Korea about half a year back.
I don't usually spend much on facial product as I prefer spending my hard earn money on some other areas like food.
First sinful spending of over $100 at one go at The Faceshop for all this |
I don't know if I am lucky or unlucky to meet a really good salesperson in The Faceshop and I just swipe my card and got back all these product at $107 for the first time few weeks back. It was all the masks, The Smim Density Hydrating Emulsion , The Smim fermented concentrate essence which came along with some samples as freebies (the cause of more sinful spending).
So I went home to try out the essence and the emulsion which I found really good.
My skin feels really refreshed and really hydrated. It isn't oily and absorbs into my skin way faster than other products that I have used before (Loreal, Bio-essence, Vichy and Laneige)
Having experienced the effectiveness of The Faceshop product, I went back for more.
Cleansing oil to replace my Loreal cleansing milk |
On my second visit, I got myself this cleansing oil as I was really annoyed by the fact that I had to use at least 3 round of my cleansing milk to fully remove my make up. It was sad that the previous promoter was not on the afternoon shift and the new promoter was not really convincing. However, I still got it since I needed it pretty badly with all the thick make up I put on for photo shoots.
The promoter told me that it is light oil and so it will not be too oily for my skin.
It does remove my thick make up with one (at most two) round of cleanse and I did not had any extra pimple after using it for a few times so I guess it does work for oily skin.
Day cream to reduce pimple scar |
Then I went to guardian and got this new cream that was meant to reduce pimple scar. I am not see any visible result after using it for a week so I can't really comment yet. This cost me $47 plus though which I thought was pretty expensive and doesn't have much visible result?
The SMIM fermented concentrate total treatment |
Then, I went on to get The SMIM fermented concentrate total treatment at $59 from the promoter who first introduced me the product.
This is applied as the first step of skincare routine before putting on the toner. After applying this total treatment, my pores seem to get finer and it does makes my skin feel smoother at touch. However, for some reason, my skin feels more oily than before after a few hours from application.
Current collection. More to come. |
And so, I am almost using the whole series of The SMIM product apart from my toner and day/night cream now. Looking forward to provide a detailed and accurate review on these products after I have used it for a longer period of time. Wish me have a better skincare so my photographers finally can save some time on editing my face HAHAHA.
