Montagne Jeunesse Masque - Fudge Sauna (review)

I guess Montagne Jeunesse had made themselves noticeable in Guardian Pharmacy Stores with their colourful and fun-like packaging. Last month, Guardian was having a promotion, buy one Montagne Jeunesse face masque, get the 2nd one at 50% off. I bought a pair for myself, one of it is "FUDGE SAUNA, Hot vanilla", and i'm gonna write a review about this mask.

I chose Fudge Sauna because i have been lazy with exfoliation, and my blackheads are visible. This mask is meant open pores and deeply cleanses pores, just the right mask i needed. Once opened, the sweet fragrant of Toffee candy arised. "Mmmm Yummy...." I was thinking to myself. The texture is thick and creamy, as though you're holding some thick mud. It has a light beige colour which reminds me of latte with too much milk :p

The moment i apply the mask on my face, i felt the warm sensation, which speedily turns increased to HOT! The super heat lasted for 2 seconds, which then cooled down to slightly warm. *phew*. You're supposed to leave the mask on for 10 minutes. At the 5th minute, i see the mask starts to melt. At 8th minute, i can see my pores opening, which means it is working in cleansing my pores, good for me :-D

After the 10th minute, i washed my face with water, and my face was left with a after-sauna flush due to the warming sensation. I didn't feel my skin softer nor smoother, but my pores are all opened and blackhead removed! To test the result, i gently squeeze my nose, the blackhead areas, and no oil/seed came out.

The VERDICT - My pores are deeply cleansed!

Will i buy it again? Boy, YES!

A packet of 15g = RM5.90, lasted me 3 times of usage.

Good Skin Lab workshop in Halloween 2009

It's about time for me to blog about the Good Skin Lab workshop i've attended on Halloween day. Organized by HELLO! Magazine, the Good Skin Lab targets to show us, the registered participants the INSTANT result of their products. It all happened on:

Date : 31st Oct 2009 (Sat)

Time : 2:30pm - 4:30pm

Location: GoodSkin Labs Training Room, Suria Meriang Sdn Bhd, Level 18, Centrepoint South, The Boulevard, Mid Valley City

Once registered, we were all seated in a small seminar room which fits around 30 people. Videos about Good Skin Labs products were played to introduce the participants to the products. Each participants is provided with individual mirror, a bowl of water, skin care samples and a leaflet about the overall Good Skin Labs products:

The workshop was conducted by this cute lady (whom i forgotten her name, how could i???) Anyway, she taught us step by step in detail, from what is the product, what function it serves, to how to appy it on, and what INSTANT effect you can see.

1st product introduce was Citra-Peel, which is a High Intensity Resurfacing Peel.

"Aggressively treat the most common signs of age-damaged skin – dullness, lines and wrinkles, uneven texture, age spots and enlarged pores"

It is a two-step product, both are cotton pads soaked in different solution.

Followed by introduction to Eyliplex-2 Eye Lift + Circle Reducer.

"Breakthrough, 24 hour system with 2 innovative formulas from the scientists at GS Labs. This time, their dual solution to the problematic eye area"

Next, TRI-AKTILINE instant deep wrinkle filler

"Lines and wrinkles. We all get them. But now you don’t have to keep them. Tri-Aktiline™ is a remarkably innovative formula that combines a unique filling cream with spherical powders that together help eliminate the appearance of wrinkles on contact. Evening out and smoothing away the look of the deepest, most visible lines. The effect is instant! Plus, Tri-Aktiline™ guarantees long-term wrinkle reduction."

Lastly, SMOOTH-365 Intensive Clarity + Smoothing Peptide Serum

"Smooth-365™ perfects the overall quality of your skin immediately and promotes smooth, less-lined looking skin over time."

Live demonstraiton was done on left side face of the volunteer participant named Dolly. All 4 products were applied on her, and she did a mini catwalk across the room, letting each participant see the instant magic on the left side of her face. Boy i tell you, the result was dramatic, almost magical! Her fine lines and wrinkles were as though erased off, and her eye bags and puffiness were disappeared!

At the end of the workshop, a RM50 voucher was given to each participant. Valid only on that day itself. Special promotion was offered to the participants, buy any two of the Good Skin Lab product, and get the below skincare for FREE:

Well, though i was addicted to the SMOOTH-365 because of the ultra smooth feeling it left on my face, i bought TRI-AKTILINE, the wrinkle filler in the end because my deep laugh lines and fine lines on forehead need it more than the smooth feeling :p

30ml of TRI-AKTILINE cost me RM155 after the RM50 discount. And i went home happily with the doorgift below:

The number item i wish to grab from this warehouse is Kose sekkisei emulsion after hearing its good review from every friend of mine who uses it. Skin were brighten/whiten after using this one bottle of this emulsion. According a dear friend of mine, this product is suitable even for her even when she has sensitive skin. However, the moisture content is not enough for her dry skin. Since i have combination skin, this fact doesn't bother me much. I'm interested with the fair, brighthen effect of this emulsion. Hopefully i can grab the Kose Sekkisei whitening mask along my way at a good price too.

Gals, do your research before you go. As major crowd is expected in these kind of sales.

So, i've went to check it out the Kose warehouse sales @ Dataran Prima. The below pictures are generally what they're selling there. I've yet to have time to write them down in words, ladies you will need to refer to the pictures for the item, price before discount and price after discount. Generally the discount offered is at the range of 20-35%. Not too much for me, not too little too. Wouldn't say you'll save a hell lot of money, but you'll definitely save some compared to over-the-counter purchase.

Here goes the pictures, FEAST your eyes ladies!!
