Product Review: KOSÉ Trio ~Seikisho Mask White, Sekkisei Lotion & Sekkisei Emulsion

I have heard so much about this black mask ~ KOSÉ Seikisho Mask White~. I guess this is one of the famous black mask in market. Well,  I dislike the "peeling feeling" when masking but I just want to give this famous black mask a try! 

Let's see if this black mask give a surprise for my skin me?

 My KOSÉ Trio set consist of :

• Seikisho Mask White (75ml)
• Sekkisei Lotion (100ml)
• Sekkisei Emulsion (70ml)

Basically the 清肌晶 Seikisho Mask White is a peel-off, exfoliator and whitening mask. I name it as a 2-in-1 mask. It is formulated with nano black powder.

This mask can remove dirts and impurities such as white heads & black heads; unclog pores and even fine facial hairs! The Seikisho Mask White comes in a tube and it has gel-like thick texture. 

Honestly, applying this black mask is not easy . This is due to it's thick texture. The first time I  when was using this mask, it made a mess. I was having long nails and guess what? The thick gel mask got under my nails :O And it took me quite sometime to remove it.

How to apply this mask?

I usually squeeze about 2-3cm from the tube at a time and spread it onto my clean face (of course after removing my makeup & cleanse my face) evenly, not too think or too thin. Be careful, you have to avoid the hairline, eye, and lip area like applying other masks. Then, I sit back to rest for about 20-25 minutes until the thick black mask is completely dry. 

Ouch!!! 

As I mention in the beginning of this blog post, I dislike the peeling feeling. Well, the pain discomfort is bearable. When I was peeling-off the mask, I can feel the impurities that get pulled off  my skin. 

Remember to peel off the mask gently from the outside in and rinse off with cold or lukewarm water.

Once it was peel-off,  it gives an instant radiant to my face. Look, all the debris on the peel-off mask! 

After rinse off with cold or lukewarm water, I continue the steps with:

雪肌精 Sekkisei Lotion, a refreshing, whitening and moisturizing toner. 

Like the normal toner, I soak a cotton pad and pat gently over my face and neckline. I was told by the SA, the Sekkisei Lotion is trusted and adored by Kose users since 1985. This lotion/toner helps to prevent pigmentation, freckles and dehydration.

雪肌精 Sekkisei Emulsion, a lightweight moisturizer with a highly emollient formula that brightens and softens skin. 

Honestly, I find this emulsion is a bit too thick for my skin. I do not apply any serum when I'm using this emulsion. Remember to apply this emulsion with COTTON PAD. Dispense 1 or 2 pumps on COTTON PAD and spread over skin in small circular movement upwardly.

Goodbye, the annoying black heads & white heads! 

The Seikisho Mask White instantly give brightening and radiant effect on my face! I also like the refreshing and "super clean" feeling on my face. How often I use this mask? I only use the KOSÉ Trio once a fortnight. Sometimes, I use a hydration sheet mask or cream mask before continue the toning and moiturising steps. 

Where to purchase: 

Available at all KOSÉ counters nationwide.

Price:

清肌晶 Seikisho Mask White, RM85

雪肌精 Sekkisei Lotion, RM148 / RM248

雪肌精 Sekkisei Emulsion, RM172

LIPSTICK is like our instant confidence booster! Although I have sensitive lips but I still want to apply lipstick when I'm going to party and events! ^-^

Today I'm gonna share with you my new favourite lipstick from Maybelline ~ Color Sensational ~.

 Maybelline Color Sensational 

#625 Are You red-Dy & #415 Plum-Tastic

The NEW Maybelline New York Color Sensational lipsticks comes in a range of 16 shade.s This range of lipsticks has unique formula and nourishing ingredients. Therefore, it is richer and give lips a color that is truer for any skin tone. All these is thanks to the pure undiluted pigments in the lipsticks.

The four prime lip colors are

 red, pink, brown and purple. 

Color Sensational lipsticks come in six elegant pink shades, one plush purple shade, five red-hot shades and four uninhibited brown shades.

 With Color Control System

• Color Sensational contains a patented polymer that seals these crystal-pure pigments onto lips to create a flexible film that controls the movement of color on your lips. 
• The result is a no-feathering zone all day long so lip color stays strong and bold from AM to PM. 

With Pigment Highlighting Technology

• a blend of ultra-shiny oils that brings out the color brilliance of its pigment

• No more dull and flat color for our lips but embrace a lip color that gives full coverage that is intense and brilliant.

1.) Honey nectar

• melt on contact to provide lips with a protective barrier against tightness and dryness.

3.) Vitamin E

The #625 Are You red-Dy is a fresh and bright red color. If you like RED and this is definitely a fabulous colour for you.

The #415 Plum-Tastic looks a bit dark in the photos but this is another colour that really surprise me when I apply it on my lips.

The texture of Maybelline Color Sensational #625 Are You red-Dy & #415 Plum-Tastic are quite creamy and smooth. This make it easy to apply on my lips. They are very pigmented and gave a bright & shine colour on my skin.

 I was surprised to see the #415 Plum-Tastic that looks a bit dark in the photos turns out to be a bright and sweet colour on my lips! :) Of course, the #625 Are You red-Dy is always the outstanding and seductive colour on my lips.
