[REVIEW] 3Bskin Toner, Serum & Detox Mask


Hey guys! Today I'll introduce you to the new skincare brand in town! Formulated in France, 3Bskin is a company based in Malaysia. They recently released their full range of skincare products and I was sent three in total to try. They are One Drop Triple Effects serum, Detox Journey green detox mask and Pamper Yourself toner.

For full information, visit their facebook page here: 3Bskin













One Drop Triple Effects (serum)

Function : This hydrating and acne serum provide moisture effects to skin and reduces the formation of inflammations caused by acne and blemishes. Revive your skin’s glow with this multi-benefit serum for skin that appears even in tone, radiant with clarity, and fully resilient. Perfect for sensitive skin, attenuates diffuse redness.


Direction : Continuously used for 10 to 15 days for visible results. Apply evenly on the face and neck after cleansing, massage gently until the serum being fully absorbed by the skin. Followed by day or night cream.


Performance : It's absorbs really fast onto the skin and leaves no sticky feeling.

Results : The dropper bottle is really helpful as the texture of the serum is a bit thick but still easy to absorb on the skin. It does keep my acne at bay however it doesn't fully heal the current acne of mine.

Detox Journey (green detox mask)

Function : Works perfectly for Oily and Combination Skin which helps on improve moisture balance and soothing the sebum (oil) discretion for a healthier skin complexion. The mask also helps in refining the skin pores and performs immediate detox to improve any irritated condition such as blemish. It effectively lifts away pore-clogging impurities and oil that can lead to imperfections.



Direction : Apply a generous layer to face and neck after cleansing and toning. 15 to 30 minutes after, rinse off thoroughly with warm water and follow on with moisturizer.



Performance : The texture is very easy to glide on face and doesn't leave the skin dry.

Results : It leaves my skin supple without drying it even after washing and I feel like the mask really absorbs all the impurities on my face after a whole day of wearing makeup. I also love to wear this whenever I think that I might get a breakout on the next day. Well, it's just a hunch coz yeah, I've been fighting with acne for several years already :)

Pamper Yourself (toner)

Function : A gentle refining hydrating toner that clear any remaining impurities, remove dull surface residues, promotes translucent and smoothing skin texture. Enhances the benefits of the skincare that follows.

Direction : Apply each time after cleansing. Spray or dampen on a piece of cotton and pat gently on face. Leave it take effect. Soothes and refreshes skin.


Performance : It is not sticky at all and it gives the moisture it promised.

Results : This has a quite good moisturising effect after it was applied on the face. Usually a water type toner like this is applied by using the cotton puff but I prefer to just dab it with my hands. I feel like it gives more moisture that way. However, if it was to remove the remaining impurities that (might) be left on skin even after washing, it's best to use the cotton puff :)

I was actually surprised on how creamy the concealer is! I mean, it's not that creamy until it is hard to be apply. The concealer itself is very easy to be blended and feels cool on touch. 

In terms of coverage, I would rate it about 3/5. It is quite good although  it doesn't totally cover the whole pimples/acne/dark spots/dark circles things but at least it does blur them out like you see in the picture. 

The finish is more to semi-matte because it doesn't dry like a powder and it's not really on the hydrating side either. I like it better like this since I have creases under my eye and it would be bad if it creases really bad.

I've tried on my under eye as well and yep, it creases. Anything that fell into the creamy type will easily crease on my eyes (like lots of people do actually) except if I properly set it with powder so in order to avoid it from creasing, I set the concealer properly on my under eyes after I applied on the concealer.

I would like to mention about how soothing the formula is. The concealer doesn't breaks me out and even I think that it is "breathable" since it doesn't feel heavy on the skin because it is so light and at the same time have quite good coverage.

Color shades only available in one shade and that would be a disadvantage for people with varied skin tone. There's no variation in colors and even I admit that this concealer looks a little white on me.

Overall, it is a nice concealer to try especially to those who had blemish skin like me :D

[REVIEW] Testerkorea Real Tester : NAKEUP FACE WATERKING COVER CUSHION SPF35/PA++


Hey there!

This is the third item that I'll be reviewing today as the testerkorea's first real tester. Testerkorea has been my favourite place to shop for Korean products since forever and they recently add ecargo which have made my whole waiting time reduced by 90%! They also offered tons of products from various brands so testerkorea is definitely an online shop you can trust. Plus, they also give various samples along with your order :D

 I've heard a lot about NAKEUP FACE and wanted to try this popular cushion which is said had a very good response in Korea since it was introduced :)

Before I go to to the review, these are a little details about this brand;

Brand : NAKEUP FACE
Net Weight : 15g
Production : Made in Korea
Price : 19,600 won
Where to buyHERE









It came in a mirror case which will reflects everything so taking this picture is quite challenging for me :X

The mirror is not blurred, I just haven't taken off the plastic.



So full of products!


Looks watery/glowy when swatch.



 My skin hasn't been in a good condition these last few days and it surprised me on how high the coverage is when applied on face despite the watery texture of the cream.

I'll be honest that the shade #23 is still a little light for my skin however I wanted to say that it was wearable. It doesn't make my face looks pale as ghost when I apply considerately. This cushion have those "a little goes a long way" thing.

In case you need an extra coverage, you can add more layers on top and it won't makes the finish looks cakey because of it's hydrating effect. One of the reason why the finish itself looks hydrating/glowy is probably because of the puff itself. It has more"air" to it than any other cushion puff I've used before and it is also the reason why a little of the cream goes a long way since it doesn't absorb the liquid cream into the puff or in another word, it doesn't waste the product.

It last for quite good amount of time but I'm not too sure for the "superstay 24 hours" since it does need to be reapply throughout the day (if you're wearing it for a long time).

Coverage is medium to high, depending on how much you use at a time. It does cover my redness and dark spots quite well (as you would see in the picture below). 

I didn't found any English translation for the full list of ingredients for this since all information are written in Korean but I would say that fragrance isn't strong in this one, in case you're curious about it.

Overall, it is a nice cushion if you wanted coverage and glowy finish but the downward is that the cushion is not made for someone who had a darker skin tone than shade #23

[REVIEW] Testerkorea Real Tester : MISSHA Lighting Tone Up Base SPF30/PA++


Hi there!

I've been chosen as the testerkorea's first real tester and they sent me three items to try in total! I'm so excited to share my experience with you for all these three products so there will be three review posts today!

As you might know, I've been testerkorea lover since forever and I always got my Korean beauty products from them since they offered affordable price which I can't get at any other shops. If you haven't try testerkorea, do your first purchase now, HERE and pssttt..they also give various samples!

These are a little details about this product;
Brand : Missha
Net Weight : 20ml
Production : Made in Korea
Colors : Mint(the one that I reviewed today), Peach and Violet.
Price : 7920 won
Where to buy : HERE




Simple and pocket size product.


It is very easy to squeeze out the products so make sure you're careful when squeezing it out.


The reason is why I chose mint (green) is that this color can cancel out any redness on the face.


I'm not sure if the difference it obvious in this picture but I can clearly see that it cancel out my redness a little bit and makes my skin looks brighter after it was blended.

The cream itself is so light that I can't even feel anything on face after it was blended. Also, I'm not too sure if they add anything mint in it coz it feels a little cool on face when I put the cream on. However it does goes away after it was blended.

It does have a little flowery fragrance to it and it does smell familiar to me but I can't remember what it is. Too bad I didn't found any full translated ingredients on the box, so, sorry for that.

Aside from cancelling and brightening my face, I also feel that this is a good base when my skin feels a little dry because this feel hydrating on the face and does make my makeup last longer.

If you would like to see the full face of me wearing this as a base makeup, lookout to the next post, Waterking Cover Cushion review :)

Overall, it's a nice base if you're looking for a hydrating base that will help to make your skin looks healthier :)

[REVIEW] Testerkorea Real Tester : Nature Republic Bath & Nature Body Butter


Hey guys! We met again after so long~

Today I'll be sharing my review for this body butter that was sent by testerkorea as a part of their "Real tester" event. Please look out for another two review post that will be post today in accordance to the whole review :)

If you're reading my blog long enough, you would have known on how much I love shopping at testerkorea.  Many have been asking until now and now I clarify again that I shop with testerkorea for all my korean products because they offered affordable price with lots of payment and shipping options available. They also gave a ton of samples! :)  

So onto the review;
Brand : Nature Republic
Net Weight : 150ml
Production : Made in Korea
Where to buy :  HERE


Yass for the full English translations of the ingredients!

It came in a tub like this :)

White cream :D


Honestly, it just looks white but in real, it disappear into the skin and leaves no white cast when applying.

The body butter smells really really good, almost like a peach candy. It might smells strong on the first application but it'll gradually be softer in fragrance later.

Thought it may seems like it would look too greasy but in real, it doesn't! In fact, the cream absorbs quite fast into the skin and leave it moisturised and smooth! I could say that it performs better than my favourite lotion XD

It leaves no greasy nor sticky feeling and the moisture stays on until you wash it off. Just one thing that I notice is that, the cream is almost gel like so to grab an amount, it might be a little hard since it was like harden in the tub. I'm not saying that the cream is frozen nor dry in the tub, it just the molecule stick on strong with each other, if you could understand what I mean XD

Overall, it's a nice body butter and I always use it after the shower or at anytime where my skin feels dry.
