Product Review: Laneige Water Sleeping Pack EX

     Hi dearies! Merry Christmas! I've been a fan of Laneige ever since I've tried a sample of Snow BB Cushion. I'm still a lurker of different forums before and don't own a blog yet during the time I'm using the product. I presume that some of you have an idea of Laneige. It's a high-end brand of Korean cosmetics and Song Hye Ko is one of their ambassadors. After finishing a tube of Snow BB Cream, I said to myself that I'll save up and buy one of their best-selling skin care product- Laneige Water Sleeping Pack. I've searched for reviews online about Laneige Water Sleeping Pack four years ago and all the users gave this baby a positive feedback. Since I'm a cheapskate, I wasn't able to buy a tub because I have doubts if it will be worth every peso that I'll spend. 

     Fast forward today, I've learned that this product is being offered in O Shopping for a very reasonable price. I accidentally discovered O Shopping Philippines one night when my son can't sleep and decided to turn on the television. He was switching the channel and stop when he saw something Korean flashing on the screen. I heard the word Laneige and decided to watch too. To cut a long story short, my eyes were glued to the hosts of O Shopping introduced the Laneige Water Sleeping Pack EX and what's included in their offer. If you're lemming to try this skin care product from Laneige for a very long time now and having second thoughts because of the price, well you can purchase a set at O Shopping PH for an amazing price. Anyhoo, here's my review after using the product religiously for more than a month, twice or thrice a week especially when my skin feels so dehydrated.

Laneige Water Sleeping Pack EX ingredients and its features:

• Beta Glucan for skin regeneration;
• Ceramide SLN for moisture restoration;
• Hunza Apricot Extract for skin purification;
• Chestnut Extract to improve skin texture.

     As I've said above, I've been lemming this skin care product for a long time and when I got hold of this last October, I used it religiously- twice or thrice a week. Even if there were times that I'm too tired and lazy to wash my face after a long day attending events or running errand, I really make sure to apply one scoop around 2.5 cm in diameter using the spatula after washing my face.

Product Review: Laneige Water Sleeping Pack EX
One scoop is enough for my entire face

     
     The first application of Laneige Water Sleeping Pack EX on my face was a bliss. I like the color of this moisturizer/face mask. It has a light bluish tint that turns almost clear once applied. It has a cooling and soothing effect on my tired face that's why I find it addicting to use! The scent is relaxing and after application, my face looks so hydrated that I described it as 'wet face' look.

Product Review: Laneige Water Sleeping Pack EX
Photo on left shows the color of this gel-type mask. It has a bluish light tint inside the tub. I put a lot of product on my hand so that you can see the color and texture. But I don't apply this much. One scoop is enough, okay? Right hand shows after blending the product. You can see that my hand has a 'wet look' appearance.

     
     This product from Laneige acts as moisturizer and a sleeping mask. It's a light-gel type product and melts like water once applied. It instantly makes the skin soft and smooth but not tight after application. Since I only need a pea-sized amount every night, a 80 ml tub will last me more than five months because I'll just use it three times max per week.

Product Review: Laneige Water Sleeping Pack EX
Here's my bare face after applying Laneige Water Sleeping Pack before going to sleep. Photo taken around 12 midnight. No filter. That's my skin- I have large pores, uneven skin tone and freckles on my cheeks

What I like:

• Reasonably priced at 2,495 at O Shopping Philippines since I get 2 80 ml tub plus the full-sized freebies like the Laneige Multi Cleanser, Laneige Snow Crystal Sheer Lip Gloss and additional 2 20 ml trial size of the sleeping pack.
• The packaging is simple. The jar is sturdy in my opinion because I've dropped it twice and I didn't see any dent or crack on the surface. Well-sealed upon purchase and comes with a spatula for hygienic purposes.
• A little amount of product goes a long way.
• It's a gel type product that's easy to apply.
• Absorbs quickly and gives a well-hydrated skin after application.
• It has a relaxing scent and I can feel the cooling sensation during and after application on my skin.
• It's non-greasy and not oily.
• Instantly brightens the face the next after I wake up. I can say that my face looks more hydrated and supple.
• No irritation, breakouts or whatsoever after using it for more than a month.
• Manufacturing is printed at the bottom of the tub.

What I don't like:

• It doesn't have anti-aging ingredients so I guess girls who are into anti-aging now will look for other alternatives that give same results.
• Does nothing on my blemishes and freckles which I understand because the product is not intended for that problem but I hope if they reformulate this in the future, they will add an ingredient that will somehow lighten those marks.

Will I repurchase? Yes, but not for as these tubs will go a long long way! 

Recommendation:

     I give this a 4.75/5 rating. I highly recommend this moisturizer/sleeping mask to all girls who would like to give their skin the hydration needed for the cold ber months will really make your skin dry and flaky. This mask is easy to use and will be enjoyed by women who like to hit the sack immediately after application since they don't have to rinse it at all.

     You can get this set at O Shopping Philippines for a reasonable price. The freebies are awesome too so if you want to give something special this Christmas, this is something that you should now miss. Aside from this set, they also have the Laneige Snow BB Cushion which I really, really, really love! I've been using this bb cream for more than a year now. I get my back up at Laneige counters before but now I will purchase next at O Shopping PH when I ran out of this wonderful product. This also comes in a set and has lots of freebies too. If you want to check, just click here: Laneige Snow BB Cushion. Good thing I discovered awesome deals at O Shopping Philippines.

Product Review: Leaders Insolution Double Effect Bright Mask

     We love a good highlighter, we can’t live without our favorite moisturizer, and we swoon over every new lipstick color we see. But in the end, here’s what we really want: glowing skin.

My skin is so dull because I lack sleep and I wake up early everyday. My skin is also suffering from rough dry patches brought about the erratic hot and cold weather. I have sensitive skin so I only trust a few brands of face mask in the market today. I was delighted when Leaders cosmetics sent me their new mask variants. A 2-in-1 product: peeling and wash gel for daytime use while the other half is a leave-on mask suited before bedtime. To know more about these promising masks, scroll down please :)

those are dead skin cells falling off after scrubbing the peel off mask

• The sleep mask made my skin bright upon waking up.

What I don't like:

• Not easily accessible as there are only two branches of Leaders Cosmetics in the Metro.
• No batch, manufacturing, expiry date printed on the packaging.
• The list of ingredients are not clear.

Will I repurchase? Yes

Recommendation:

     I give this mask a 4.75/5 rating. I recommend this mask if you want to brighten your face in an instant. You have to use this mask for 2-3 times a week so that you'll see the maximum effect. If you have tight budget and wants to try the wonders of Korean face masks, then this brand is for you. This variant is multipurpose because it already has a peel and wash gel for day and sleeping mask at night. No need to buy a separate product so this one is perfect for students too. 

     A gentle reminder, don't over scrub your face even if this product is gentle. Use the product as instructed. Great news! LEADERS website is now up and running. You may learn more about their different products perfect for your skin. Visit them soon!

Product Review: Leaders Insolution Vita Bright Skin Renewal Mask

     Facial masks in my opinion are the 911 in skin care. Most of them are used once or twice a week because they contain rich essences that will surely rescue any skin care problem in an instant. I've been using facial masks in an on and off basis. I don't have favorite facial masks as of the moment because of my laziness applying it on my face. There are different type of facial masks and I presume for that for once in your life you have tried one.

     There are different types of facial masks to address skin care problems and needs. I'm sure you have horror stories while using facial masks. If my memory serves me right, I've tried a cream, gel, and mud type masks. It's tasking and icky messy to use those kinds of mask because body movement is restricted. What I mean is you have to stay in one place so that the product will not drip while waiting for it to dry. Then this not-so-good-experience with facial masks came to an end when I received Leaders Insolution Facial Masks weeks ago. These facial masks target skin care problem in an instant. My thoughts after using the Vita Bright variant after the jump!

Product Review: Leaders Insolution Vita Bright Skin Renewal Mask 

     By the way, these facial masks are also perfect as post-summer skin repair kit. Each variant will help repair and rejuvenate your skin. For this review, I'll be sharing my thoughts on Leaders Insolution Vita Bright Skin Renewal Mask. I've decided to use this mask last week because I noticed my skin so dull and dehydrated. I've been staying up late for weeks now that's why methinks the lack of sleep is taking its toll on my skin.

     I wake up early to attend events and if you follow my Instagram account I'm sure you've seen my selfies with puffy eyes and dark circles recently. If you'll look at me closer in real life, my skin looks dry and dull so one night I decided to reach out for this mask and my oh my, after one use there's an instant glow in my skin! Before my review, here are some of their best-selling masks for specific skin care needs:
