REVIEW: SKIN1004 ZOMBIE PACK

I know this has been around for quite a while, and it's been a super popular, but I didn't get a chance to try it out until now!

SKIN1004 ZOMBIE FACE LIFT PACK

This is a very popular skincare product in Korea which is developed by Korean professional beauticians. It does not contain any harmful substances to the skin. It claims to tighten and brighten skin, remove pores and wrinkles, enrich skin's elasticity, and soften skin & remove keratin.

Price: HK$185

Inside the Box

Mask Powder: 2g x 16 packs

Face Lift Activator: 60ml x1

Brush: 1

How to Use

1. Clean your face

2. Pour one portion of the Activator into the powder, and stir. It looks beating eggs!

3. Use the brush to apply the mixture onto your face in an outwards motion, avoiding the eyes and the mouth. If you want to clear blackheads, apply a thick layer of the mixture over the area with a lot of blackheads (i.e. the nose), then cover with gauze or thin cotton pad, and apply another layer over the gauze.

4. After 5 minutes, your face will start to feel very tight. To me, it felt itchy.

5. Wash off with warm water after 10-15 minutes. It was slightly hard to wash off because of how slippery it was (I wasn't sure if I had washed it off enough). It is normal if your face turns slightly red - mine was slightly red, but it went away pretty quickly.

6. Use three times a week

Note: Do not use this product if you are allergic to eggs.

Personal Experience

One portion of the Activator and Powder is just enough to use for one time on one face - I read that you can cover your nose with gauze and then apply another layer of the mixture over the gauze, but there wasn't really enough to wet the whole piece of my gauze, and I had already tried to use every single bit left of my mixture!

Leaving the mask on my face for 10-15 minutes was a nightmare! Firstly, the mask smells terrible, and secondly, when the mask started drying on my face, my face felt quite itchy, and it made me really wanted to wash it off (of course, I didn't wash it off until 15 minutes later)!

Washing it off was okay, but it was quite slippery to wash off, and I couldn't tell if my face was clean yet or not, because it left a slippery feeling on my face even though I had washed my face so many times with water!

It wasn't as WOW as I expected - although the photos of people using the Zombie Pack really have the zombie effect, the zombie effect wasn't too obvious on my skin, which was a little disappointing!

The Blackhead tip didn't work for my blackheads at all! I don't know what I was expecting from it, but it didn't help get rid of my blackheads at all!

It claims that it will help moisturise your skin blah blah blah, but my skin felt quite dry after using the pack, and I had to apply a face sheet mask afterwards! I didn't see any other effect on my skin other than my face feeling quite smooth.

It's quite a cool invention, and it was quite fun to use, but that's all! I don't even know if I will finish the rest of the pack, so that's a wasted HK$185 of my money!

That's it for today.

Thank you for reading, and have a nice day!

REVIEW: INTERCOS SMOOTH SENSITIVE REMOVAL CREAM

The Intercos Smooth Sensitive Removal Cream was featured in Memebox Superbox #24 Waxing.

When summer comes around the corner, every girl needs a proper waxing for her under-arms, legs, arms, and bikini-lines. With Intercos' sensational hair removal cream, waxing can become so much quicker and easier. There's no need for a razor blade or a painful waxing procedure anymore. Simply apply the removal cream and after 5-10 minutes, rinse off in a shower.

How to use:

Apply the removal cream on areas you wish to wax, wait for 5-10 minutes, and then just jump into the shower and rinse off.

Personal View:

The Removal Cream smells like those of Veet, but it's even worse!

The Removal Cream comes in a container where you have to use a spatula to scoop out the cream. Memebox only gave us a wooden spatula (like those in ice-blocks but bigger), so I'm not sure how well you can clean it and reuse it for the next time.

I realised that I needed to use quite a lot in order to cover up all the areas I had hair on, so that's 1/3 of the container gone!

If I remember correctly, you only need to leave the Veet's foam on your body for 3-5 minutes before you can wash it off, but for the Intercos Removing Cream, you need to leave it on for 5-10 minutes before washing it off! Leaving it on for 10 minutes was really troublesome, because I didn't want my clothes to get dirty, so I ended up wearing a towel dress, and clipping up the bottom parts so that the towel wouldn't touch my legs (hubby laughed at me for doing this, because I was doing a hair treatment at the same time, and I looked super crazy with my hair up and dress up -.-). I was really happy to wash it off after 10 minutes, but I realised that it wasn't so easy to wash off with plain water - my legs still had that slippery unclean feeling after washing it with water, and that really bad smell was still there, so I was forced to take another shower with shower gel again! I also realised that the hair on my legs wouldn't wash off by itself, and actually required me to rub my legs with my hands (with some added pressure) to successfully get rid of the hair - super troublesome!

"With Intercos' sensational hair removal cream, waxing can become so much quicker and easier."

I think it's actually way more convenient if I just used a razor!!!

Final Verdict:

Too smelly

Too time consuming

Too troublesome

Not very effective

I would definitely not repurchase!!!

REVIEW: PUREDERM MIRACLE BODY SHAPING TREATMENT

The Purederm Miracle Body Shaping Treatment was featured in Memebox Special #27 Diet Box.

Purederm's Miracle Body Shaping Treatment is made from a patented complex, 'Bodyfit' which has proven to be highly effective in breaking down excess cellulites and preventing body fats form piling up. The caffeine components also work to remove puffiness along your body line, and the moisturising components such as olive oil and sweet almond oil help maintain body skin highly moist and supple.

How to use:

There are two parts to the Treatment.

Tear along the dotted line to separate the two parts.

Open up the CO2 patch.

You will see something like a Panadol body patch.

Open up the package with the Miracle Body Sculpting Gel, and pour generously over the CO2 patch. Make sure you pour it onto the side where it sticks to your body.

Peel off the sides of the patch.

Adhere the patch over your arms, thighs, back, tummy, or wherever you wish.

I put mine on my tummy.

Remove the patch after 20-30 minutes.

Personal Views:

It's quite an easy product to use, and it's not really that messy - at least my hands were clean afterwards! After putting it on my tummy for around 5 minutes, I could feel my tummy getting warm. The warmth wasn't overly hot or unbearable, but my tummy did feel slightly itchy, though that feeling did go away pretty quickly. I removed the patch after 30 minutes, and I saw that my tummy was quite red, though the redness did go away very quickly. There was a lot of essence left on my tummy which I had to wipe off with some tissue. I don't think I noticed any difference in size nor firmness after using the patch, but it was quite a fun thing to try out! I probably wouldn't repurchase though!

Thank you for reading, and have a nice day!

REVIEW: D'RAN WONDER SERUM & YUFIT EON WHEAT-GERM97 ESSENCE

The D'RAN Wonder Serum was featured in the Oriental Medicine Memebox, whereas the Yufit Eon Wheat-Germ 97 Essence was featured in the Brightening Skincare Memebox. In this post, I will just do a brief review of these two products, because I only used both of them once, and never will I use them again!

1) D'RAN Wonder Serum 30ml

Made from 20 different Korean medicinal herbs such as ginseng, black hoof mushrooms, licorice, portulaca, and ganoderma, the Wonder Serum delivers abundant nutrients and moisture deep into your skin to erase those years off your face, for a revitalised, glowing complexion.

I applied it onto my face, and my face felt slightly itchy afterwards. It wasn't unbearable, but it just didn't feel normal. I won't be using this anymore.

2) Yufit Eon Wheat-Germ97 Essence 

A whitening, anti-wrinkle, brightening, and moisturising facial essence all-in-one! This Eon Wheat-Germ97 Essence contains various naturally derived ingredients which all work to deliver abundant nutrition deep down into your skin, for an overall brighter, and healthier complexion. You'll feel how it literally feels in moisture from deep within your skin and balance out the uneven skin tone and texture with continuous application.

I applied it onto my face, and my face felt slightly itchy, then the itching gradually increased. My face also became slightly red, and the itching became unbearable. Despite this, my hands were not itchy after using this essence. I instantly had to go wash my face with soap and water, then I applied an aloe mask. My face was still itchy afterwards, and my eyes became slightly itchy too, so I had to take my anti-allergy medication! I will definitely never be using this again!!!

I have an allergy to Penicillin (I will get a rash, feel nauseas, have diarrhoea when I take Penicillin), but I've never had any reactions to other fermented skincare products! I've heard many good reviews about the Wonder Serum, but it just wasn't for me, and neither was the Wheat-Germ Essence.


Bye bye Wonder Serum and Wheat-Germ97 Essence!!!
