Haven't been blogging much except the advertorials due because of my busier-than-usual schedule. If you wanna know more of my day-to-day activities, you can view it on Instagram @OYHZ :)
2015 had been certainly different from other years.
Q1 saw me travelling to the furthest country I've ever been step foot on - the U.S.
Spent the first CNY without much preparations unlike past years, simply because I was too tired from many things. But still managed to enjoy CNY pretty much!
Had a performance at the Istana on CNY day 2 and met with Mr President and the lovely First Lady.
Also the first CNY where M and I went visiting as Fiancé/Fiancée :`)
And we just had our pre-wedding photoshoot done earlier this month in one of his favourite cities!
Hmm, now that I look back, it seems like a somewhat satisfying quarter :) Then, there are still more to come, I truly pray to pull them off successfully!

Alright, before I digress further, let me know get back to what I started out for this post - my korean skin care supplies!
Many friends know I am an avid fan of Japanese brand-name, Shiseido - I have been using various products from Shiseido since 18 years old and am still using currently!
However, with the Korean wave on-going in recent years, I couldn’t help but be tempted to try skin care from a few of the big Korean skin care brands every now and then. I still stick to Shiseido for my basic cleanser and serum, but with further add-ons in the regime from Korean brands such as Laneige, InnisFree, TheFaceShop, and so on.
Some of my regularly used Korean skin care products are these!
One of my must-use sleeping mask is from Laniege. Water Sleeping Pack.
Laneige came up with an upgraded version last year which has an additional benefit to it – firming effects! Not only that, after an advertorial for TheFaceShop last year, I was hooked onto their natura sun eco sunscreen! On top of it, I also love TFS white seed exfoliating wash which is gentle yet effective still as a daily scrub.
Not in the picture are InnisFree super jeju volcanic pore clay mask and Skinfood black sugar scrub which I use periodically too!
Another reason why I started purchasing Korean skin care products is because I have the chance to get them at prices much cheaper than retail stores, and some even cheaper than buying from Korea retailers!
Curious to know where? It's none other than Skinwecare SG!
I have been purchasing my Korean skin care supplies from Skinwecare SG since two years back in 2013 (I paid for all my usual skin care alright ^^) and I would like to emphasize that not only their prices are far lower than retail pricing, the service given had been impeccable.
They provide meetup services for purchases above $50, and also door-step deliveries for bulk orders. So if you would like the convenience, gather some like-minded female colleagues to place orders together and Skinwecare SG can make deliveries to your offices! :)
Skinwecare SG focuses more on popular brand-name Laneige. Check out the website for their latest Laneige product prices:

Recently, they have brought in a new range of masks supplies from LEADERS and very generously given me a few boxes to try!
I'm pretty sure many of us had heard of LEADERS Insolution masks which was all the rave back in year 2012.
Now, 2 years later, LEADERS came up with a new product line called LEADERS Mediu. I had been trying out the masks for the past few months and even brought them along on my U.S. work trip and recent pre-wedding photoshoot holiday. And in summary, these masks have been keeping my skin great in those cold, winter weathers!
There are 5 different mask functions available and I try to use masks of different functions on a rotational basis as follows:
Clearing -> Pore-tighting -> Calming -> Moisture -> Lifting
Each box includes 10 pieces of masks and each sheet of mask contains 25ml of essence in it.
To use, simply follow the 3 steps:
1) After cleansing and toning, remove the plastic covering from the back of the mask and fit mask onto the face.
2) Let the mask absorb for approximately 15-20 minutes and remove.
3) After removing the mask, pat the remaining essence with your fingertips to help it absorb into the skin.
After trying all five types of masks, I can safely conclude the following:
- The masks are safe for sensitive skin like mine
- All five types of masks are very hydrating, helping with overall dull and lack-lustre skin tone
- Fit of the sheet mask is slightly above average, it doesn't fit completely, but important parts of the face are covered (T zones, sides of nose, cheeks and chin)
- My favourite out of the lot gotta be the clearing mask because they kept my pimples away during high-stress periods, especially right before the pre-wedding photoshoot!

In addition, I've also gotten HERA Hyaluronic filler ampoule sample set.
Can't wait to set aside a week or so to try out the samples consecutively!
I'm also interested in Sulwhasoo after seeing some reviews and raves on this brand. Does anyone have any recommendations on which product I should start off with? Snowise Brightening Serum? Ginseng Renewing Essential Oil?
Will greatly appreciate any advices!
Then, that will be the next item I order from Skinwecare SG ;)

Along with promoting this product, It would be great if these are approved by the Ministry of Health. For customers' convenience & assurance, putting some sort of seal or logo from them would be great.
ReplyDeleteYup, the products have been approved by Korean Ministry of Health.
DeleteI love Korean skin care products but not so much of their makeup products, they don't have that much shades for those with morena skin.
ReplyDeleteNot familiar with the shop but I browse them and their products are mostly Korean. I love Korean products. I think they suit me really well.
ReplyDeleteLike you, I am starting to love Korean grooming products. Will check this brand!
ReplyDeleteI love Shiseido too but they're expensive. Korean products are great and affordable. I'm using the BB cream from Laneige.
ReplyDeleteKorean beauty products must really be good, they all seemed to have nice complexion :)
ReplyDeleteMy wife would love to see this, She's on to beauty products. I got a few friends using Korean beauty products. The price are amazing.
ReplyDeleteI also have sensitive skin and it is great that these masks have a great effect on such skin as well, there is a variety of options and I would like to try most of them!
ReplyDeleteOhhh the skincare range looks lovely!! Aww sounds like you have been busy recently, pre - wedding shoot... hope it went well! :) xx
ReplyDeleteWow that's a lot of interesting products by Skinwecare! Did you meet the US president in the beginning of the year???? That's just awesome!
ReplyDeleteFirst time hearing about the shop but it looks interesting. And I agree, the Laneige sleeping mask is a must-use. :)
