L de Lolita Lempicka

L de Lolita Lempicka was launched in 2006 and the fragrance was created by perfumer Maurice Roucel. The bottle was designed by Sylvie de France. From the perfume ad and the aquamarine, pebble heart shaped bottle with the golden net, this perfume reminds me a lot of the deep blue ocean and mermaids. Even though I have an affinity for mermaids, I'm not too fond of aquatic scent, which is why I steer clear from this perfume for years, thinking it as another harsh clean scent.  The only reason why I got this is because of the bottle, it's been discontinued for years and I wanted to get this before it's gone. So imagine my surprise when I first tried it on. Instead of being bombarded with screechy and sharp aquatic scent, I was left with a delicious oriental vanilla scent that conjures images of Christmas baking. I immediately regret not getting a full bottle of this years before it's been discontinued, lol. Top Notes Bitter orange,   Bergamot

Mamonde Flower Facial Mask

I love flowers and anything that's floral inspired, but somehow I'd forgotten to try this Mamonde Flower Facial Mask, which has been sitting for too long in my drawer. Mamonde is a Korean beauty brand that mainly uses real flower extracts in their skincare and makeup. The latest addition to their skincare line are these Mamonde Flower Facial Mask, which are available in 4 different types of mask.




1) Mamonde Pore Clean Clay Mask


This may look like green tea ice cream but it's not, lol. It's the 1st mask that I'd tried out of the 4 Mamonde Flower Facial Mask. Unlike most other clay mask, Mamonde Pore Clean Clay Mask has a soft citrusy floral scent to it. It's soft and creamy and works well in absorbing excess sebum.


Formulated with eco-friendly ingredients, the Mamonde Pore Clean Clay Mask is perfect for those with oily skin and large pores. However those with dry skin wil probably find this to be quite drying on their skin.

2) Mamonde Petal Purifying Bubble Mask 


Suitable for dry and dull skin. This is meant to purify and revitalize skin, giving skin a healthier glow. It's main ingredients includes rose petals, green tea and peppermint extract. Once applied on skin, it reacts with air and gradually starts to foam up, creating these soft, fluffy, bubbles.


Although bubble mask can be seen as quite gimmicky, this actually works as a gentle exfoliator and it purifies skin deeply leaving you with cleaner pores.

3) Mamonde Calming Hydro Sleeping Mask 


One of the main ingredient for this sleeping mask is Calendula, known for it's skin soothing properties. Mamonde Calming Hydro Sleeping Mask is made to calm and hydrate skin. Texture wise, it's runny, almost watery, thinner than most of the sleeping mask that I'd tried prior to this. Performance wise, it absorbs quickly on skin, great for those with oily skin as it doesn't feel greasy at all, somehow it reminds me of The Face Shop Rasberry Root Sleeping Mask, though it doesn't work quite as well as it in terms of hydration.


I would probably skip this if you're looking for a heavy duty sleeping mask as it doesn't feel hydrating at all. For me it's a little too light weight to be considered as a good sleeping mask.

4) Mamonde Enriched Nutri Sleeping Mask


Lastly, the Mamonde Enriched Nutri Sleeping Mask. The main ingredients includes evening primrose extract, Camellia Oil and Sunflower Oil, which helps to moisturized dry and bloated skin. Texture wise, it's quite heavy, though it does absorbs fast into the skin. It leaves skin feeling soft and dewy the next morning. This mild floral scented sleeping mask is best on dry or normal skin as it can be a little too heavy on oily skin.


Out of the 4, I find Mamonde Petal Purifying Bubble Mask the best suited for my sensitive-combination skin type. But most of all, I love how it adds a little fun to my otherwise normal beauty routine.
