No Fun Illuminating Facial Mask 

by: Vivek Calandra

Hello Pretties!!

           It takes me time in giving a review about this Uguisu No Fun Illuminating Mask but the long wait is over after trying it many times. I just started using this No Fun Illuminating Mask  last February as Linda our neighbor and tell me to try it. She gave me 1 piece and another 2 pieces late March since I can't buy the product which is not available here in our place; only in this website that you can buy it www.birdpoopfacial.com.

          I'm very much HAPPY with the result this Uguisu No Fun Illuminating Mask brought me. This is simply a confidence booster and can give skin satisfaction;

         This Uguisu No Fun Illuminating Mask awesome product that gives you what you need physically. After using this no fun illuminating mask as my experience my skin smoother, my pores get smaller and brighter skin. I used this Uguisu No Fun Illuminating Mask 2 times a week, The directions says: Mix one teaspoon of Uguisu Poo powder with warm water to make a paste. Apply on the skin avoiding the eyes. Leave for 10 minutes and rinse with warm water.

So I followed it step by step and I made an Uguisu No Fun Mud in a consistency of a paste. Surprisingly, it doesn’t smell at all since www.birdpoopfacial.com.claims that it is purified/enhanced Uguisu No Fun. So I think that non purified Uguisu No Fun will smell musky I guess. So I put it on my face and wait for about an hour  and the result is very good it can also treat discoloration.

If you want to be soft, fair, clean and smooth skin both on your body and face, you can use their uguisu no fun illuminating soap, it is good for the body that also give your skin smoother brighter.

Ingredients: 100% Enhanced Japanese Nightingale Bird Droppings (Uguisu No Fun).

I really recommend this Uguisu No Fun Illuminating Mask and Ugusiu No Fun Illumianting Mask Soap. Best Facial Mask And Soap perfect combination you will satisfied with the result.

As I have mentioned a few times already, I have been searching for specific products for brightening and evening out the skin tone. I have lots of dark spots on my face, especially on my cheekbones and nose and since I have started to pay more attention to my skin, I have become even more aware of them. Therefore I have decided to test some specific treatments for sun spots and blog about them. My hope is that if you have the same skin concerns, you may find some good product recommendations.

This is going to be more of a first impression post, as I have used this mask for a few weeks and have noticed improvements, but the full results should be visible after about two months of use. The Ama.la Intensive Brightening Mask* is a reparative mask that specifically targets dark spots, discoloration, age spots, and acne scars. It also helps to refine skin texture and even out the skin tone. It is part of an entire line of products that Ama.la created to help people like me with uneven skin tones. Among the products of the line there is also a face polish, a toner, a brightening emulsion, a corrective serum, and a cream, which you can find here. Together with the mask, I have also been using the toning essence and the emulsion (which I plan on posting soon). Those three products have been working really great for my skin.

The Intensive Brightening Mask comes in a rich creamy formula that should be applied 2-3 times a week. It does not sit on the skin, in fact it can also be used as a leave on treatment without being rinsed off. Most of the time that is what I do. I cleanse my skin, apply the mask, and massage it until it is completely absorbed. The brightening effect is immediate, especially when used in combination with the Brightening Toning Essenceand my skin appears more radiant right away. It is almost like a luminous, health booster for my skin. However, if I decide to put on makeup after I rinse the mask off with warm water and then spray my face with the brightening toner afterward. I do it this way because I find the texture of the mask slightly too rich to be worn under makeup, at least for my combination skin.

This mask contains some powerful brightening botanicals such as Organic Narcissus, (slows down the synthesis of melanin which leads to dark spots), Red Currant (Vitamin C source) and Calendula (rich in Omega-6 essential fatty acids). This is the complete list of ingredients:

water (aqua), beeswax (cera alba)*, prunus amygdalus dulcis (sweet almond) oil*, simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil*, helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil*, glycerin, sesamum indicum (sesame) seed oil*, polyglyceryl-3 stearate, sodium stearoyl lactylate, stearic acid, olea europaea (olive) fruit oil*, hydrolyzed wheat flour, oryza sativa (rice) hull powder, salix alba (willow) bark extract, narcissus tazetta (cream narcissus) extract*, narcissus tazetta (cream narcissus) bulb extract, calendula officinalis (marigold) flower extract*, lactic acid, bellis perennis (daisy) flower extract*, ribes rubrum (currant) juice*, malva sylvestris (mallow) extract*, mentha piperita (peppermint) leaf extract*, primula veris (cowslip) extract*, alchemilla vulgaris (lady’s mantle) extract*, veronica officinalis (gypsyweed) extract*, melissa officinalis (lemon balm) leaf extract*, achillea millefolium (yarrow) extract*, ascophyllum nodosum (rockweed) extract, buddleja davidii (summer lilac) extract*, thymus vulgaris (thyme) extract*, acacia senegal gum, xanthan gum, tocopherol, fragrance (parfum), rosa damascena (damask rose) flower oil*, helichrysum italicum (immortelle) extract*,alcohol*, benzyl salicylate, citral, citronellol, geraniol, limonene, linalool.

*Certified Organic

I am currently loving this mask and I am going to continue to use it. I believe that this is an incredibly effective treatment for people with dull skin that want a radiance booster, so I think that it would work particularly well for more mature skin and for people whose skin lacks brightness. I will write an update in a few more weeks.

The Ama.la Intensive Brightening Mask retails for $ 82 and can be purchased on SpiritBeautyLounge.

Acure Organics Cell Stimulating Facial Mask Review

Cell Stimulating Facial Mask + Me as Elphaba

I decided to give the Acure Organics Cell Stimulating Facial Mask* a try, in light of the several positive reviews I had read. The main ingredient that drew my attention was french green clay. It is know to absorb oil and impurities from the skin and even tighten pores. According to Acure Organics the mask repairs the skin cells and revitalizes the complexion.

The consistency is pasty, thick (not runny), and easy to spread. It smells like spearmint, and feels refreshing on the skin as soon as I apply it. It dries very quickly, and it should be kept on the face for about 10-15 minutes. I sometimes keep it on a little longer, but it does not cause any discomfort. It requires a little bit of effort in taking it off, because it is supposed to be rinsed off like a cleanser. Therefore, I massage it into my skin very well, and rinse my face until it is completely gone. I like to use this mask one or two times a week, in the morning, in the place of my cleanser.

Ingredients: Organic euterpe oleracea (acai) berry, organic rubus fruticosus (blackberry), organic rosa canina (rosehips), organic punica granatum (pomegranate), organic fair trade certified rooibos, organic aloe barbadensis vera leaf, french green clay, vegetable glycerin, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate (from coconut + amino acids), vegetable cellulose gum, sodium cocoyl isethionate (from coconut), chlorophyll, organic chlorella pyrenoidosa extract (chlorella growth factor), glucono delta lactone (sugar enzyme), fair trade certified organic theobroma cacao (cocoa) butter, carrageenan (algae), hippophae rhamnoides (sea buckthorn) seed oil, ubiquinone (CoQ10), spinosa (argan) stem cell, potassium sorbate (food grade preservative), organic argania spinosa (argan) oil, and sage and spearmint essential oil blend.

Even though I am not a mask junkie, I do enjoy this refreshing treatment once or twice a week. My skin looks and feels particularly clean and refreshed every time I use it. I think that it would work on any skin type, and it is also claims to be:

• Vegan
• Sulfate free
• Cruelty free
• Paraben free
• Gluten free
• PEG free
• Petroleum free
• Phthalate free
• Silicone free

I recommend you try it if you are looking for a mask to deep cleanse your face. And you will definitely want it if you enjoy minty scents! As usual, Acure Organics has provided another great product filled with the purest ingredients, at an affordable price.

Review: Watsons Moisturising Facial Mask with Cucumber Extract

Review: Watsons Moisturising Facial Mask with Cucumber Extract

Hello lovelies, how are you?

It's been raining for almost a week here but thank God, the sun finally came out today. This week is supposedly my exam week so I've been studying non-stop but since the weather is very bad, my university decided to move it until next week. The rain and the studying pretty much kept me up all night which led to huge eyebags and bad skin>.< so I decided to use Watsons Moisturising Facial Mask with Cucumber extract that I bought at the start of the week.

As written on the back of the mask, "This specially formulated mask contains cucumber extract and natural collagen nutrients to tighten your skin and improve skin elasticity. Leaves your skin firmer and more supple"

The smell of this facial mask is very refreshing, it's not overwhelming. Just enough to calm your nerves and make you relax. It also has a lot of essence but it doesn't drip which is a plus point for me! After about 30 minutes on my face, it still has a lot that I used it for my neck and my hands. I massaged it and let my skin absorb the essence. It had an instant effect. It made my skin smoother and softer like a baby's skin hehehe ^o^ which made me really happy oh and it smells divine <3 Also I can feel that my face is a bit firmer than before. I am definitely in love with this mask. 

The only bad thing with this mask is after about 10 minutes of absorption into my skin. I notice a bit of itchiness and rashes on my chin and neck but after about 15 minutes, it was gone. I'll give this mask another try and see if the rashes came back, if it did I'm gonna stop using this. 

Overall Rating: 4/5 (-1 since it gave me itchiness and rashes but that's just me)

Repurchase: Maybe. I bought two sheets so I'm gonna try that one again. If there's no rashes then Yes definitely, a repurchase is in line but if it still appears then bye bye .

Have you tried this product? Did you have itchiness and rashes too or does it work well for you?

See you soon~

Another review coming up!

Facial mask review: Lululun Moisture Pink edition

LuLuLun is a facial mask brand that has featured in several beauty magazines in Japan, making it very popular in the country but also in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

I wanted to try those masks as they are not really expensive, and the package looked cute ^^ There are different types of those masks, Moist (pink), High Moisture (Blue), and Translucent Light (White).  All three are known for containing ingredients that reduce the production of melanin in the skin and to calm it. They also are good for sensitive skins, as they are fragrance, color, and mineral oil free! I chose the first one which is the basic moisturizing mask, available on a package of 42 sheets, or a travel pack of 7 sheets.

First, I was surprised as the package does not have the color of the photo but it was most a metallic pink instead of a plain baby pink as I was expecting. Just a detail. The package is cute, with instructions at the back, but no English. You just have some drawings to help but as it’s easy and you don’t need to be super smart to place a facial mask (…do you?), it’s not a problem ^^

The sheets are closed in a zip bag so it guarantees the freshness and you can close it back once you took your sheet. The biggest problem I found with that system is that the sheets are all stuck together, and it’s not easy to take only one. The first time I tried, I found my hands with 2 sheets and full of product… Plus, they are not easy to take off as they are deep in the bag.
Well, for the price you can’t really complain but once you’ll get one sheet, your problems won’t stop as it’s very hard to unfold it because it’s made in very thin and fragile cotton.

Anyhow, once you’ll find the way and not have lost your temper, the sensation of the mask against your skin is very fresh! (Maybe a little too fresh sometimes). So your skin can relax while absorbing the essence. The sheet sticks well to your face so you can do whatever you want, it won’t fall off, but personally I prefer to take this time to relax myself and to stay lie on the bed with closed eyes.

When you will remove the sheet, you will be totally relaxed and your skin will be refreshed and very moisturized! The skin is not sticky, and will stay soft. I really liked this sensation, as it proves that your skin really absorbed the most of the product and liked it :D

These masks are made for a daily use, but as it stays really fresh in the package, you can easily use them only twice per week if you want.
Will I buy them again? I’m not sure yet, but maybe I’ll try the other types to see ^^ These are not the best facial masks that you can find, I think. But they are good for quickly moisturizing your skin and if you have a low budget. The travel package is very practical with very thin but secured bag.

Cons:▼ The sheets are thin and stuck together

Recommending? :
Yes, if you have low budget and that you don’t mind getting annoyed when you try to unfold the sheets ^^

Glamglow Youthmud Tinglexfoliate Treatment

THEY SAY: For when you need great skin and a glowing complexion in just 10 minutes. This performance driven super mask is an absolute must for those who seek the highest quality ingredients and exceptional results, even if you have never used a mask before – YOUTHMUD is unique. It doesn't just take care of one skin concern, it delivers everything you need for great skin, whatever your skin type.  

WE SAY: This facemask has been seriously hyped up on the Internet, but honestly, you won’t believe how amazing it is until you’ve tried it. On application it really tingle but in the best possible way – that’s kind of the whole point of it, hence the name. The texture is quite gritty and it’s super-muddy so probably best to apply with an old foundation brush or similar. It dries really quickly and the results are pretty instant even after the first use. My skin is always left noticeably tighter, smooth and very soft, plus the addition of pumice rock means that you’re exfoliating whilst removing – bonus. I say it’s definitely worth the £50 price tag.

SCORE: 10/10
