Review TBS: Vit C Time Capsule, MMU Foundation and 3 in 1 Corn Blue Mask

What a long title :P

Okay girls, here we go:

1. Vitamin C Plus Time Release Capsules
Even though I already reviewed this product before, but it was a very brief review since it's only based on 1 sample *duuh*. So after stupid incident (read: swimming at 4 PM) that caused my skin to look duller and flakier than ever, combine with the perfect timing of TBS promotion, I finally bought my first jar. Hurray! And last nite was my 3rd day I've been using this capsule and I love every single day of it.

The serum-like potion (correct me if I'm wrong) literally glides on my skin when I applied it, and it is non sticky nor greasy. It's absorbed quickly as it touches my skin and that left my face with clean-light-yet-smooth-silky feeling.

The smell is also acceptable, it smells like an essence of mandarin orange. Well not as good as that but it's close enough. I honestly can not think the perfect example to describe the smell. And the bonus point is my skin feels (significantly) less oily in the morning. Woohooo!!! Even though the sales girl said that she affraid that the vit c might be too rich for my oily skin since that happens with my Vit C moisturiser, it proved otherwise for this product.

And after 3 days my skin feels silkier, smoother and moist. The flaky skin on my cheek is almost gone (Yiippiee...)

Highly recommend this product. Luv it.

2. Blue Corn 3-in-1 Deep Cleansing Scrub Mask
Last weekend as one of my 'kalap' attempt to restore my skin condition I tried this 3 in 1 mask. First I washed my face with Seaweed facial wash, dried it with small towel and then I started applying and scrubing it with circle motion all over my face and leave it for a while.

After around 15 mins, the mask started to harden, so I prepared my wash cloth and soaked it on warm water before using it to remove the mask.

I dont know whether my skin is very healthy or too much oily, however after the mask was removed even though I felt my face clean, I still saw a glimpse of shine on my forehead. And oh the good thing is after I removed the mask, I felt there was additional candle-ly layer protecting my skin. So I guess the mask does moisture my skin.

The only downside is the smell. Jeezz..... for me it's kind of a mixture of sandal wood and other Mustika-Ratu or Sari Ayu mask. But I bear with it.

3. Nature’s Minerals™ Foundation SPF25
Okay, this is tricky.
It could be because I am a newbie so I don't understand how to apply it properly, or because my skin is too oily or because I apply too little amount of the foundation. However after I applied it on top of my moizturizer, I can not see the different at all :D **hmm perhaps my moizturizer is too oily or I dont leave it enough time to be absorbed because I already late as usual**. So I apply another coat of loose powder on top of it and then I can see the wonder.

The foundation helps my loose powder blends or stays better with my skin and give way better coverage (tampak rata tapi ga medok) and yet feels very light like I dont wear any foundation at all. And until now (almost 6 hours after I applied it) my face is not as oily as it used to be. I'm not sure whether this is the result of the MMU foundation or the time capsule Vit C or the 3 in 1 mask. As I told you before 'kalap nih kalaappp'

Overall I'm quite satisfied with the product but since my face need additional coat of loose powder duuuhh bengkak dong budget gue ...sigh...

TBS Skin Care and Make Up Haul

Since my two 20% off discount coupons (one for the make up product and one for skin care product) expired yesterday so I decided to give my self a tour on TBS, see whether I can make a good use for these coupons.

It turned out TBS is holding a promotion for the Vitamin C Skin Care range.
Vitamin C Plus Time Release Capsules is on special price for 29.90 (UP:42.90). While buy any 2 products of Vitamin C you'll get 25% off and buy any 3 you'll get 30% off.

So forgive me God for I have sinned....

1. Vitamin C Plus Time Release Capsules
An innovative time release system that provides the skin with pure vitamin C. Helps to even out skin tone, brighten a dull complexion and protect from environmental damage, leaving the skin radiant-looking over time. Suitable for daily use.


2.Tea Tree Oil Facial Wash
Cleansing gel that lathers to gently cleanse, lift impurities and make-up while helping to control shine and blemishes, leaving the skin feeling clean and fresh. Deep cleanses to remove dirt and makeup while allantoin soothes skin.


3. Nature’s Minerals™ Foundation SPF25
Long-lasting powder foundation made from the purest minerals. The powders act like a protective veil to naturally defend the skin against sun damage with SPF 25. Applies evenly and blends easily for a radiant, natural-looking complexion. Non pore-clogging. Colour builds easily to provide an adjustable light to medium coverage. Effectively reduces the appearance of redness, imperfections, blemishes and visible pores. Preservative-free, fragrance-free. Dermatologically tested, non-comedogenic.

Pssstt.. the sales girl told me it doesn't clog the pore.
I tried this product this morning and except for thinking the lid is way too small for my kabuki brush, I still don't have anything to report.

3. Blue Corn 3-in-1 Deep Cleansing Scrub Mask
A 3-in-1 mask that deeply cleanses, exfoliates and moisturizes the skin in one easy step. It leaves the skin feeling clean, smooth and balanced.

Once upon a time there was a stupid girl who couldn't control herself not to splash into the pool on a very sunny day. As a result her face skin is flaking on some spots. Sigh.
The sales girl told me that before applying mask, it is better to have your skin exfoliated first. That way the mask will penetrate your skin better.

Since I don't have an exfoliate scrub, she suggested me to buy this mask so I can use it as an exfoliate scrub and after leave it for a while, and voila... it will turn into a mask
