Hada Labo's New Platinum Kotojyun Mask | Hydration & Whitening

With High Penetrating Serum, Infused with Premium Platinum Nanoparticles – 

The Sheet Mask Hydrates Skin from the Surface to the Inner Layers 

Hada Labo introduces for the first time, its all-new Platinum Kotojyun Mask, a revolutionary sheet mask that contains a high penetrating serum mask and is infused with premium platinum nanoparticles. The nanoparticles act as an anti-oxidant ingredient to protect the skin from environmental damage and also improve skin tone radiance. 

Each sheet mask is extremely breathable and comfortable as it is made of Bemliese®, a sustainable non-woven fabric that is made from cotton linter which can absorb and hold the skincare ingredients efficiently. Although the sheet mask contains only 23ml of serum, it is able to offer benefits that are equivalent to two bottles of serum thanks to the nanoparticles technology and Bemliese®, the non-woven fabric that allow deep penetration of the serum into the skin.

The high penetrating serum contains highly effective hydrating ingredients, which include Multiple types of Hyaluronic Acids, Ceramide and Squalene that fully hydrates skin from the surface to the inner layers, for a long lasting smooth and supple skin. It is pH balanced, free of alcohol, fragrance, colorant and mineral oil, therefore, it does not cause any skin irritation.

The Hada Labo Platinum Kotojyun Mask comes in two variants that provide different benefits to the skin:

Hada Labo Platinum Hydrating Kotojyun Mask (RM14.90) 

Functions to deeply hydrate skin for intense and long-lasting hydration. Infused with Platinum Nanoparticles and 4 types of Hyaluronic Acid (i.e Nano Hyaluronic Acid, Zinc Hydrolyzed Hyaluronate, Hyaluronic Acid and Super Hyaluronic Acid) to effectively strengthen skin barrier and reduce fine lines for soft, smooth and supple skin.

Hada Labo Platinum Whitening Kotojyun Mask (RM14.90) 

Functions to deeply hydrate and revive dull skin for a fresh and radiant complexion. The Platinum Whitening Kotojyun Mask is infused with 3 types of Hyaluronic Acid (i.e Nano Hyaluronic Acid, Super Hyaluronic Acid, and Zinc Hydrolyzed Hyaluronate) and contains 2X brightening ingredients, i.e Tranexamic Acid and PMS Whitening Factor to effectively lighten dark spots and even out skin tone for bright glowing skin.

What makes it refreshing?

Well, when it comes to the face mask, what is there to really say? But this is a game changer because its super thin and literally I would say that I can feel that all the serum from the mask just transferred to my skin. I wish I took a before-after photo prior to wearing the mask but really on the first impression on this mask, I would say that it did a great job in making my skin feel hydrated with the extra perks of some glow. Honest opinion, this is hands down the most innovative best mask i've used by far! Recommended and i love how premium the mask feels. 

FYI, The Hada Labo Platinum Kotojyun Mask is now available for purchase at Shopee, Lazada and all leading pharmacies nationwide. Be sure to get it and pamper your skin when you see this on shelves. Im pretty sure this would be in demand real soon. You have been warned. Hehe

[REVIEW] SIMPLYSITI's Reflection of Perfection Cosmetics

SimplySiti has grown to be well known and loved by the citizens of Malaysian beauty enthusiasts, especially when it comes to her cosmetics. To celebrate the growth of SimplySiti's current collection, the brand has introduced a whole new range that has been inspired to be a reflection of perfection. SimplySiti has been in the industry for over 11 years in Malaysia and now has been very well known to suit all types of Asian skin. 

Within the range, I would have to say that the beauty of the range is that it offers a matte finish, which definitely is a trending texture when it comes to cosmetics. Not only that it has been designed and formulated to leave a matte finish, but also leaves your skin a natural finish as well. With this launch, SimplySiti hopes to regain its business back on track again as the brand has suffered a tremendous loss during the pandemic. 

On top of that, coming back into the industry with a big bang, SimplySiti has appointed a new brand ambassador, Zahra Zura Aziza Zahanor who happens to be a UITM student. She was chosen among 700 other participants in a competition to be the face of SimplySiti. She is the first ambassador appointed by the brand and will continuously be promoting the range by SimplySiti. So don't be surprised when you see her on shelves in stores.

The beauty of the beauty range would be that it's designed to be easy for Muslim women, especially when it comes to preparing for prayers each time. The range has been scientifically proven and clinically approved to be Halal Certified. Dato' Sri Siti Nurhaliza is happy that loyal users have been continuously supporting the brand and she is happy to ensure that the brand is easily accessible by ensuring that it's available not only in retail but also through Shopee as well. 

REVIEW

Considering that the range is new, I just had to get my hands on it to really test it out myself. Among the items that I'll be reviewing today would be their Eye Shadow Palette, powder blush, mascara, miracle sunscreen, semi-matte lipstick, eyeliner, loose powder, two-way cake, and liquid foundation. Since there is a lot within the range, I'll be basically concluding my thoughts on each of them and i'll also be sharing a few swatches for you to check out through this review as well. 

SimplySiti Cushion Foundation

Starting with the Cushion foundation, they offer 3 different types of shades, but I got mine in medium which is like the in-between shade from light and tan. With such minimal choices, I was initially a little reluctant to give it a go, but when I swatched it, I noticed that the shade blends in with my skin really well! Having oily-combination skin, I love that it feels light-textured, and it has this blurry effect to give it a natural finish. It's also water-resistant, making it perfect for traveling, and not to forget that it has SPF 50 as well to protect the skin from harsh UV rays. 

SimplySiti Matte Lipstick

Next would be the Matte Lipstick which is to die for. Usually, I'm not a fan of matte lipstick considering that it usually leaves the lips dry and flaky, but this is a whole new formulation! The texture is creamy, pigmented, and most importantly, moisturizing! It has a pretty good balance of oil and wax, to ensure that it keeps the lips hydrated and nourished. What more can you really ask for from a Matte Lipstick? I did a test today but forgot to take pictures, and I would say it's pretty long-lasting for up to 12 hours!

SimplySiti Powder Blush

I've been needing a blusher and i have to confess that its one of the toughest things to bring around when you need a brush to bring with you if your blusher comes in a palatte. Lucky enough, SimplySiti found a solution for this problem. The blusher comes in a puff blusher form which makes it really easy to apply it over the cheeks. Despite it being in puff form, the shade is well pigmented, so after applying, i noticed that it instantly lisfts and softens the application making it a quick on-the-go blush check when youre really rushing. The shades offered are really luxurious and i got mine in shade____ which suits my skintone really well. 

SimplySiti Eye Shadow Palette

The Eye Shadow Palette comes in nude natural tones which makes it pretty good for everyday use. The shades came in a really good combination to suit and create day looks, and even night looks, depending on your creativity. But really, if youre wondering if its pigmented, here are some swatches for you to see. The swatch i did is a one time swatch and i would say that the pigment is pretty good. Its not as strong, but the good side of this is that its easily blendable and you can basically layer it depending on how thick you want your eye shadow to be. For endless eyeshadow creations, this has provided the perfect formula. 

SimplySiti Eye Liner

As simple as it is, the eye liner is a retractable eyeliner which saves you from the typical eye pencil that you have to constantly sharp before using it. I did a swatch test and im impressed with how pigmented it is! Literally i did not put too much effort when it comes to pressing the eye liner on, but man, this is good stuff! It's easy to navigate since its thin enough to fill in the eye, and it's also smudge proof, giving you less worries when it comes to contact with water. 

Verdict

In terms of pricing, i would say that its extremely affordable for the quality that it offers. If you have to ask which product would be my top 3 from the range, i would definitely say it would be the cushion foundation, the powder blush, and the semi matte lipstick. The finish over the skin is amazing, and i must say that it stays on the skin pretty well throughout the day. No smudges, no sudden unevenness, and the appearance on skin overall is satisfying. If you would like to get your hands on it as well, be sure to get it from shopee or in selected pharmacies! 

Comfort Zone Hydramemory Cream Review

Hello everyone. Today i'll be sharing about a new skincare line that I decided to try, called comfort zone. Ironically, its called comfort zone and i must say that all the beliefs of the brand itself does revolve around my personal comfort zone leading me to want to try their range of skincare, starting off with the Hydramemory Cream. The brand itself believes in a balanced approach to beauty, sustainability, and relationships inspired by ethics. Without further a do, let me introduce to you their Comfort Zone Hydramemory Cream. 

Comfort Zone Hydramemory Cream

This being my first product to try out happens to be one of the brand's best sellers claiming to provide 24 hours of double hydration! I can't recall any other brand that similarly claims to provide hydration to the skin that long, but when it comes to skincare, you can never go wrong when it comes to hydration. Turning into my thirties soon (yikes!), i have to say that next to anti-aging products, I like to go back to hydration because to prevent aging, hydration is the real key to prevention. 

The Hydramemory Cream is a double hydration cream with macro hyaluronic acid accompanied by Moringa Oil. With these two being the highlighted ingredients within the cream, it helps to protect the skin barrier while maintaining optimal levels of hydration. Living in Malaysia and also in regards to my aging skin, it's exactly what i need to ensure that my skin is well taken care of since it is now dryer than a few years back when my skin was younger. 

Benefits of Cream

Upon trying it out for myself, i noticed that it provides instant long lasting hydration upon application. When i apply it after cleansing my face in the morning, it really felt like my skin was constantly moisturized rather than the moisture being evaporated. It has a sorbet-like texture which feels very dewy on the skin. I personally have a mix of combination and dry skin, so this did a great job keeping my skin hydrated, especially when im always in an air-conditioned room. 

For the record, did you know that the Hydramemory Cream uses 92% natural-origin ingredients? Gotta say that i love all things natural, and on top of that, its also pH 5-6 Free from synthetic fragrance, silicones, SLES and SLS as well. Gotta say that i love it when a brand thinks through on their products, which definitely adds more meaning to the product outcome. Great work Comfort Zone! 

Directions of use 

In case youre not sure on how to incorporate this into your skincare routine, you can do it like i do since i got mine as a single purchase rather than the whole skincare range. With your existing skincare range, after cleansing and toning, apply the cream after serum has been completely absorbed. This really works to lock in the benefits of the serum while providing a hydrating layer over the skin to protect it from any everyday pollution. I also like to give it a soft pat to ensure that the cream is fully absorbed by skin before i start my day with make up. As it contains high concentration of Hyaluronic Acid, you wouldnt want good ingredients go to waste.

Verdict

As a verdict, i would have to say that it's an amazing cream to use if you're looking for 24 hours of hydration. Usually i prefer those gel texured creams, but this beats any cream any cream i've tried. Considering that it works well on my skin, especially when it comes to preventing those dry flaky skin from appearing, i would definitely repurchase. Not only it has solved my problem, but it also improved my skin condition as well. What else is there to look for from a skincare when they actually give you results. It's no wonder that it comes with a slightly hefty pricetag, but you pay for what you get honey.

Hada Labo's Kotojyun Serum Mask Review | For Moisturizing, Hydration and Whitening

Face masks in general have become an important ritual to me when it comes to skincare routines. Especially when I've just given birth, moisturizing with a mask would be an important step in retaining skin youth. Without further ado, I'd like to share with you Hada Labo's new Kotojyun Serum Mask which is suitable for those looking to enhance your skin appearance as it offers glowing, soft, smooth & supple skin as a result. Hada Labo being a reputable brand, I have no doubt on the quality that it has to offer. So, let's get into details! 

The Hada Labo’s new Kotojyun Serum Mask collection has been formulated to be an elixir for youthful radiant skin, that instantly hydrates the skin with a single application. Each mask is infused with 23ml high penetrating beauty serum to give the skin an instant boost of moisture and hydration. A 15-minute pampering session with the Kotyjun Mask will promote radiant soft smooth skin when added to Hada Labo’s recommended skincare routine which also includes a cleanser, lotion, essence, moisturizer, and sunscreen. The Hada Labo upgraded Kotojyun Mask comes in three variants to tackle different skin conditions. They include: 

The Premium Moist Kotojyun Mask

The Premium Moist Kotojyun Mask is infused with 5 types of Hyaluronic Acid (i.e. 3D Hyaluronic Acid, Absorbent Hyaluronic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, Nano Hyaluronic Acid, Super Hyaluronic Acid), high penetrating serum, Japanese Blue Algae, 3 types of Ceramide as well as Squalene to fully hydrate skin from the surface to inner skin layers. These highly effective hydrating ingredients work hand in hand to lock in, store and replenish water for soft, smooth, and supple skin. 

If you have a very dry skin condition, then the premium moist Kotojyun mask is here to transform your skin! The Ceramides and Japanese Blue Algae help to form a layer of moisture-retaining barrier, thus protecting the skin from moisture loss. They also strengthen the skin’s natural barrier in locking in moisture for a longer-lasting hydration effect. 

Instant Hydration Kotojyun Mask 

Infused with 4 types of Hyaluronic Acid and with high water retention ability to lock in and retain water for long lasting hydration and high penetrating serum, they penetrate and infuse moisture deep into the skin to fully hydrate skin from the surface to the inner skin layers for a significantly soft, smooth and supple skin.

The 4 types of Hyaluronic Acid infused in the Instant Hydration Kotojyun Mask are Super Hyaluronic Acid, Zinc Hydrolyzed Hyaluronate, Nano Hyaluronic Acid, and Hyaluronic Acid. 

Deep Whitening Kotojyun Mask 

The Deep Whitening Kotojyun Mask is infused with 4 types of highly concentrated brightening ingredients i.e. Arbutin, Tranexamic Acid, Niacinamide, and Licorice Extract for intensive brightening care. This beautiful, high penetrating serum mask penetrates deep into skin layers to deeply repair skin, lighten dark spots, and even out skin tone to reveal healthy glowing skin.

Directions for Use

I would have to say that it's pretty basic to apply the mask. But in case you want to double-check on the proper way to apply a face mask, then let me spill you the proper way of using it. The best time to apply a face mask would be to apply it on a cleansed face after applying Hada Labo Lotion. Remove mask from the pack, and unfold mask over face, and press with fingertips. Relax and leave it on for 10-15 minutes and remove the mask. To not waste the serum, I'd like to end my masking ritual by gently massaging the remaining essence onto the skin until it's thoroughly absorbed.

Mask Material

The Hada Labo Kotojyun Mask is extremely comfortable and breathable! It is made from fiber derived naturally from the plant that makes it breathable and comfortable. This skin-friendly + innovative three-dimensional sheet fits perfectly onto the face to allow for deep penetration of the serum into the skin, ensuring that your skin is smooth and supple upon application. Personally, i enjoy the fact that it fits on my skin really well, giving it a nice feel while you leave it on over the skin. 

The Hada Labo Upgraded Kotojyun Mask deeply hydrates and revives dull skin for a fresh and radiant complexion. It is ph balanced and alcohol-free, hence it does not irritates the skin. It retails at RM12.90 per sheet, and whats even better would be that you can now get the upgraded Hada Labo Kotojyun Mask at all Shopee, Lazada, and at any leading pharmacies nationwide.
