[Dewy]

hi all
went to tfs today..bought a rice peel off mask and a cavier lemon mask (sheet type).
tried the rice mask just now..like no difference ..it is meant more for pores..the SA recommend me lemon peel off for whitening but i dont want a whitening mask..
she also recommended me lily mask ($14.90) but i didnt buy cause no reviews yet ..forgot it was for what..
bought a nail polish in nude colour also..nice texture!

anyway is there other masks which are effective? the wash off or yoghurts ones any good? i have got oily combo skin

it was pretty crowded today but the SA managed to served me..ya they are very friendly and i am pleased with their service..

gave me a dewy water toner and emulsion sample for oily skin..tried both just now..the smell of the toner was quite strong..didnt quite like it.

their make up seems cool, saw a loose powder like eyeshadow in a small pot..didnt really see properly was in a hurry..but i will wait for their full make up range to arrive before i buy..

Recently bought some skincare from TFS in Korea and realized that they have opened up a branch here. Yay!

Some items i've tried (normal skin, dry cheeks, slightly oily t-zone):
1) Grapefruit Yoghurt Mask -> This is a massage-and-washoff moisturising mask. I'm impressed by its performance. It leaves the skin smooth and soft after wash. A cheaper alternative to the Laneige strawberry yoghurt mask, the only difference I felt being the TFS's felt a bit more "oily", probably necessary for a smoother massage. However, it washes off clean without any oily feel, and skin feels very comfortable. I kept this in the fridge to enjoy a "cool" massage.

2) Rice Cleansing Cream -> Effective makeup remover. I hesitated to use it for eye makeup remover as it's rather rich and feels quite oily. Definitely requires double cleansing and not for the very oily skin. Will probably not repurchase.

3) Punica Peel-Off Mask -> I like the smell of this. Helps tighten the skin and supposedly remove sebum, didn't notice if it shrunk my pores. Skin feels clean and soft after peel off. Not harsh at all, should be good and fun enough for regular use and for most skin types.

I was also recommended the "red ginseng" and "ceramide" (sp) sheet masks. Bought the latter, will review when i've tried it. For hair care, the SA recommended me Keratin Hair System shampoo and treatment for my coloured hair.

All in all, TFS works for me. I was doubtful at first. However, there are several skincare/makeup lines like TFS and Missha in Korea, and hence they are priced very competitively. Yoghurt masks are found in almost all of these lines. Cheap can also be good!

read in another forum somebody posted tfs uses 0.2% only of natural ingredients, i dont know how true it is but i do prefer tfs.

the sa also recommended me ginseng mask..

i tried the ginseng mask last weekend.. moisturising, but somehow i still prefer their rose mask when i tried it previous weekend

maybe it's the nice rosey scent... felt that it was tad bit more moisturising and leaves my skin really soft and dewy

will definitely repurchase.

Is anyone interested in the eyeshadow pen? I have 2 which I intend to sell as I find them too sparkly for me. Had only used them 3 times each. I have lilac and baby blue.

Haven't been dropping by BJ, will do so soon!
Anyway, are the 'floral-themed' eyeshadows available yet? They reminds me a little of Paul & Joe!!! I like the black potted ones too... Nice packaging but what are the differences between the various eyeshadows? Has anyone tried the lip balm yet? How about the loose pigments?
So many questions... I might as well go and take a look!

[scrapdoll]

I went to BJ but I couldn't locate those 2 shops..i checked the directory too and it wasnt there

It's on the 2nd floor, did you see Fancl shop and Watson in front of the escalator? Missha is just beside Fancl, and TFS is beside Missha.

I got the green tea peel off and its pretty good! I like it smells nice easy to peel off and leaves your skin soft and oilless! heh from me!

Tried the ceremide sheet mask in The Rose and I like it. The rose scent is mild and very relaxing! Unlike other sheet masks, this one is not too "slimy". Left it on till it dried up. Skin feels toned and refreshed.

[crazygirl]

i love the rose mask too... moisturising and very nice scent.

Dreamie: didn't the instruction sticker state just leave on for about 20 mins. but not to let the mask dry on your face?

Oh no, did it specifically say not to leave on longer than that? I got mine in Korea and so everything is in Korean. Thanks for letting me know on this

The SAs here never fail to impress me. There was this pregnant SA who offered to test on me every single product I laid eyes on, and even those that I didn't look at. Ended up giving me a makeover (excluding foundation) She even went to the extend of plucking my eyebrow stubble

BTW spend $80 within a month and you get membership which entitled you to 5% discount.
