Today I am reviewing one of my
favourite products in January 2011: the Foam Esthe Pack mask from Orbis. This bottle has made its way into my list of
HGs within a month, does that say something? hehe. In fact I'm surprised I only came to discover this gem after being a loyal Orbis skincare user for over 3 years. When
Stellar visited Hong Kong in December, I took her to Orbis and she wanted to try this since this mask is #1 top-seller of Orbis in Japan. I've been using it for the 8th time and would like to say "oh dear, where have you been all these years?!?!"
今日同大家講下我
一月份最愛用既產品之一: 佢就Orbis 既暖暖泡沫面膜. 自從
Stellar黎香港我地一齊買呢支面膜之後, 佢已經榜上有名. 聽佢講呢支泡沫面膜係日本係第一好賣產品, 用左Orbis skincare 超過三年, 竟然而家先發現到佢既存在, 真係遲左D -.-''
The mask came in an airtight metal bottle with a pump and a lid, it contains 100g. Retail price is around $240 HKD (~$31 USD) but you can easily have a discount when purchasing more than 2 bottles or if you're an Orbis member! I can already smell the possibility of a repurchase, lol.
呢隻面膜用金屬罐包裝, D泡沫可以用噴咀嘎出黎. 內有100g, 賣$240 HKD左右, 不過如果係佢地會員既話或者買2支以上通常都有折. 我已經預視到回購既可能性極高, 嘿嘿....
The SA told me this mask is used to beat the 'yellow-ness' induced by frequent use of makeup, in other words, it helps to purify skin and even your complexion. This is what I need.
店內小姐同我地講呢隻面膜好適合經常化妝既人用, 可以令塊面無咁黃, 同埋淨化毛孔, 等膚色均勻D. 正中下懷~
The foam mask came in a mousse texture, I was instructed to pump the size of a ping-pong ball for the whole face and spread the mousse/foam evenly across skin. The texture is very light.
面膜呈泡沫/慕絲狀, 軟綿綿好得意. 店員話擠一個
乒乓球大小既份量塗勻全面.
Indulge yourself with a little mousse...cover any possible 'holes' and pores. After 5-7 minutes, I washed off with water and everything came clean in like 10 seconds. I've had a difficult time with other wash-off mask (say clay ones), those took me a few minutes to wash it off completely.
等5-7分鐘之後, 用水洗淨. 我發現好容易就洗乾淨, 10秒鐘就乾淨哂. 唔會好似D泥mask咁好難先洗得甩.
Thoughts: I'm extremely impressed by this product, it smooths and plumps my skin, made it feel soft to the touch. This is very convenient to use in shower or before bed, as it only takes 5 minutes. It's not that 'harsh' on skin as some purifying clay masks out there, I can use it 2-3 times per week.
極度喜歡呢隻面膜, 用完皮膚超滑, 好方便, 又可以沖涼時用, 5 分鐘就搞掂, 岩哂我呢類懶人 XD 仲有佢唔似D泥mask咁, 唔洗驚吸乾塊面既水, 對皮膚都好溫和, 一個星期用2-3次到啦.

Laneige Water Sleeping Pack EX (aka the famous sleeping mask) This is my second tub...I had to throw the first tub away when I return from Europe because it's too heavy for my luggage T^T Anyways, LOVE THIS STUFF! If you haven't tried this, you should! I layer this over my moisturizer at night and go to bed, and the next morning I wash normally the way I would. This mask makes my skin sooooo moisturized and plump with hydration after use, better than sheet masks. When I was in Europe in temperatures below 10 degrees, I use this as a night moisturizer directly (thin or thick depends on how much you want) and it keeps my skin from drying and avoids the dry patches and flaking. I can't say enough how much I love this product, this is my HG mask and double-duty moisturizer in winter!
And the last item: Canmake Cream Cheek in #09 (Limited Edition!!) I'm a sucker for LE stuff, you probably would have figured out by now, hahaha.
The shade looks very vibrant in the pan, but when swatched, it's a deep pink (with slight mauve-ish tones, almost lilac) and it's THE pink that I'm looking for. I'm always looking for a dupe for my HG blush, but more on that in a separate post :P. This shade has a matte finish too. 
Do you know of any blushes that show up like the color on LENA's face? I'm lusting that kind of porcelain-doll-face pink which also looks a bit lilac-ish, almost light-purple :D if it makes sense.
