SKINFOOD: Rice Mask Wash Off


HEYY GUYSSS!!!


This is going to be my first ever product review :D!! So excited to share my thoughts and feelings about beauty products finallyy!!! I'm gonna start off with a easy one.This product I'm going to share is highly raved about, maybe you already own it? But it's should be a staple product for ALL mankind!!! I've had this product for almost a year now and I definitely SWEAR by this product. It has got me through good and bad skin days and will forever remain in my skincare routine. It is........... theee Skinfood wash off rice mask!!!!!






Ok so Skinfood is a Korean brand which base their products on natural ingredients!! They have a variety of different lines such as wild berry, aloe vera, brocolli and snail mucus. They are extremely popular in Asia and specialise in skincare and cosmetics. All their products have really cute and natural packaging, which I adore!! Definiely a sucker for ALL Skinfood products ^.^

The rice masks is Skinfood's bestselling product. It comes in a tub with 100g of product. This product will actually last you for agesss btw!!! as stated on the product it is:


 "A wash-off mask containing rice extract that moisturizes skin and brightens tone. With its texture of ground rice, it leaves skin bright, soft and lustrous."


The rice granules will help lift off excess dirt and oil from the skin's surface which will keep the complexion clear and soft. No wonder, because rice grains contains a cleansing property which cleanses and tones the skin leaving the skin tighter with a vibrant healthy glow. Rice water can actually be used as a toner so remember next time your making rice don't throw away the precious rice water :P



Very smooth and creamy with fine rice granules



This product can be used on all skin type as the granules are very small and gentle. It has a creamy texture with only a light scent that is almost non- existent, which is perfect for sensitive skin. It easily glides on the face with no irritation caused by the fine exfoliating granules.

How to use: Preferably used at night when the skin is repairing. Apply a generous amount of the mask all over freshly cleansed face and wait for 1-2 minute for the product to sink in for maximum nutrient absorption . After, in gentle outwards and upwards motions massage the masks into the skin concentrating on areas more susceptible to dirt (blackheads round the nose) and avoid eye area. Wash off with lukewarm water then splash face several times with ice cold water to seal the pores. You should be left with soft, glowy skin :D YAY!!!. Then follow with normal skincare routine.






I usually like to use this mask at least once a week. I do although exfoliate my face 2-3 times a week using other products.This mask is actually so gentle that you can use it every other day without being too harsh, as some other products can be. After using this masks my skin always feels and looked renewed. I'll ALWAYS use this mask after a night out or a day I wake up with dull and dry skin. Don't you just hate them days. Now with this product I'm bound to never encounter them lifeless skin days!!! HOOORAYYY!!! Skin is smoother, make up wears better and my confidence is sky high!! Nothing beats that feeling!!

Haha sorry for the dark eyebag situation :( been up all night revising for EXAMS!!! But as you can see my pore are smaller, my complexion is more even and skin is slightly lighter and brighter WOOHOOO!!! Definitely an awesome product for people with busy lifes, only slept for 4-5 hours last night and with only 2 minute facial  my skin has transformed. It's like beauty sleep in a tub ;)

WELLCOMEE!!!!!

 
Hey guys!! :)
Welcome to my blog Miss Budget Barbie.
 
 
So a little info on myself first so you guys can get to know me a little bit more. Im a british born Chinese girl who is a student in the UK who is a bit of a BEAUTY JUNKIE!!! I love anything and EVERYTHING beauty related. Over these couple of years I have accumulated many skincare and cosmetic items.
 
Being a student and only working part time sometimes leads to buying purchases at a low budget. Hence why this blog is named Budget Barbie ;) All my friends always say I buy so much but it only cause I always find cheaper alternatives and search for the best bargains!!! I also love to do a bit of DIY on skincare such as mask and have a great interest in natural and chemical free products (cause I'm a bit of a bionerd B') )
 
OHHH also love internet shopping as well. Being in the UK and Asian the internet is the best way for me to search for my ultimate obsession. ASIAN SKINCARE! I love how advance Asian skincare and cosmetics are and Asian celebrities always have amazing healthy and youthful skin, it seem like here in the UK we are lacking behind. I will be focusing a LOT of Asian skincare and cosmetics here on this blog and with less than 3 WEEKS till I'm heading to HONG KONG :D I will definitely find some Asian Holy Grail products to take back and share with you guys!!!! YAYYYYY!!
 
That's all for now :)
Hope to speak to you all very soon
