Came all pack in a resealable bag.
There is a bag of salt, a bag of mushroom and a bag of quinoa. The bag of salt looks like Himalaya salt to me. Bag of mushroom have a nice mushroom smell. 
All that is needed.

Easy ingredients all pack conveniently. All I need to do is to pour them all into the water and boiled. Great for lazy and busy people like me. We too can enjoy healthy meal now. 
Just pour all in.
The quinoa doesn't take long to cook. It is ready in around 15mins time. To make it even more healthy, I added my favorite greens and garlic olive oil to the quinoa meal. 
Added my own greens during simmering.
Turns out beautifully cooked meal by me, a person who do not really do cooking often. I quite like the texture of the quinoa. It taste just like brown rice being chopped into smaller size. But it is not as hard as brown rice and not as soft as normal rice. Somewhere in the middle.

Plus it contain delicious mushroom taste. The flavour is enhance with the the garlic olive oil added in. 

However if you are one who do not like mushroom taste, then it is better to choose other quinoa meal flavour.

My Review
This is my first time trying out Loveisderma product. I really got a shock when I saw the product because it came in such a big tub. It's 2 times the size of my other wash off masque's container.

The tub came sealed in plastic on the outside and covered with aluminum foil on the inside.

It's great that spatula is given. This means that I do not need to use my hand to dig into the masque. Keeping the masque fresh at all time.
Spatula given.
The masque has a gel like texture and is light pink in color. It produces a light floral fragrance smell.

Gel like texture.
It feels sticky when it's applied on my face. There is this little cooling feel as well during application. 
It feels sticky when it's applied.
One thing that caught my attention is that the instruction told to apply a "thick" layer. Well usually the wash off masque I tried before told to apply a "thin " layer. This is the first one that told me to apply it thick. Well this explains the big tub isn't it. 😆
During application.
So how do I feel after washing off? I felt really refreshing. My skin touches smooth as well. It does look a small percent of brighten up to me. As for the pores, no comment really coz I do not have large pores to start with. 

Any cons? Well, there are 2 negative points to me. First, the big tub means it's not really convenient to travel around with. Second, it took quite long for me to wash them off.

However, this masque is still worth a try to me as it does makes my skin smooth and hydrated. I also notice my skin does not feels so oily the next day morning when I wake up too.
Before and after use of my forehead.

I have been having dark circles for a long time. And because I am lazy, I always use my spectacle to cover it so that it will not be that obvious. 

But still, anything related to dark circles catch my attention. Recently, I saw a video post from BeautyMaker about Perfect Concealer Palette. It really caught my attention as I too wish to have that finishing effect. 

Looking at how easy it is to apply on the video, I decided to give it a try. And I really fall in love with them. 

Come....let me introduce them to you too. 

We shall start with the Photoshop Perfecting Concealer Brush. 
Photoshop Perfecting Concealer Brush.
This brush really came handy for applying concealer. The brush is really soft and have the perfect size for applying concealer around the eye area. The brush helped the concealer to blend well. 
Small and handy.

One more thing, it is easy to clean. I used a tissue to tap it clean after each use.

The palette consist of 4 colors, accompanied by an in-built mirror on the casing and a 2 sided brush. One side with flat brush and one side with pointed brush.

For concealing dark circles, I used the Photoshop Perfecting Concealer Brush. For concealing spots, I used the given 2 sided brush in the palette. Both brushes performed well.

From the 4 colors on the palette, color "D" is specially for covering dark circles. I use color "C" as the spots covering base. Then color "A" and "B" to blend well.

It is indeed easy to use. It does cover the dark circles very well and naturally. Look at the side of my picture with the dark circles concealed. Looks totally different isn't it. Perfectly covered. 
Left side with concealer and right side without concealer.
I love it that it looks so natural. Not only dark circles, my spots or blemish nicely covered as well. It blend so well with my other makeups. 

It does made the finishing of my face looked smoother.
Before and After with other makeups as well.
And I am impressed that it lasted me throughout the day without the need to do touch up.

I did a small experiment on my hand. The happy face drawn using eye brown pencil is being concealed so well. It cannot be seen after using the concealer palette. Nicely and naturally covered.
Perfect Coverage.
I really love the concealer palette and brush so much. This is by far the best concealer I ever used. I highly recommend them to you too.
Nicely covered naturally and smoothly.
