The genius of You Tube

http://www.wired.com/images/article/full/2008/02/youtube_founders_500px.jpg

I’d  like to believe that YOU TUBE was founded by beauty gurus who needed an avenue to post all their beauty hauls and what not in moment of makeup enlightenment but the simple truth is that it was founded by 3 pretty attractive looking guys( some still say it’s 2 guys and I am totally not sure about this but since Wikipedia stated 3,I’m sticking with it)! Above is Chad and Steve. The third dude is Jawed Karim and from what I see through Google images, he’s not bad looking. Totally unexpected .

This raises another case in point, IT WIZs can be very attractive and good looking. I really love these guys as they have helped me get over my TV Addiction. You Tube has everything a girl would ever need to keep herself occupied and readily informed.

I love you tube cause it has spawned so many amazing beauty gurus like Michelle Phan , Fafinette, binosusume, beautyQQ, manwomanfilm and many others.

I love how you can be surfing for one thing and a great link to something similar pops up and since my attention span is that of a goldfish, I can easily switch videos super fast and I rarely get bored!

CORTRY Hydration Mask Review

Now dears, I’m having a giveaway to say thanks to my readers!! so if you haven’t had a chance to check it out, pls do so HERE :)

I’m really touched that so many of you have posted my giveaway on your blogs and I hope it was a relatively quick and painless process !! hehe LOL!

Okie…  so I’m on a MASK frenzy lately as my skin has been feeling very blah. I’m pretty positive that it’s due to stress.

My sister in law did rave about Cortry Face  Mask some time ago  so I got one during lunch at Guardian for 2SGD ( really cheap!)Here’s my thoughts on this all natural herbal treatment.

IMG_1791

*I love taking pictures with mask, it hides all my imperfections*

CORTRY MASK

IMG_1783

THE FACTS AS STATED:-

*WHAT IT DOES:

This intensive hydrating mask contains intensive herbal essence extracted from precious Chinese herbs that aids active deep penetration and hydration, infusing the skin with daily loss of moisture. This special Chinese herbal formula is specially formulated for Asian Skin. It deeply penetrates and helps revitalize, repair and satisfy skin thirst , keeping the skin supple and completely moisturized.

* USAGE:

IMG_1777

Use warm water to clean skin b4 using Cortry Hydrating Face Mask. You can lightly tap the mask for it be smoothened on your skin. After 15 minuted remove mask and cleanse skin.

Recommended Usage

Week 1: Daily usage

Week 2: Alternate Day Usage

Week 3: Usage twice a week

* Ingredients:

Codonpsis Pilosula Nannf, Aloe, Green Tea, Sweet Almond, Lucid Ganoderma FUNGUS, Pearl Powder, Water and Sodium Benzoate.

MY REVIEW:-

What it did for me?

This Cortry Starter Pack contains 2 mask, one neck mask and one face mask.

I slapped on Cortry’s  Face Mask for 15 minutes exactly and I must say that the mask was a strange brown color ( totally weird) and a little  funky smelling. I did not expect it to be super herbal but at least I know that the brown color was most likely coming from the Active Herbal Ingredient Ling Zhi.

After 15 Minutes, my face felt seriously moisturized. My skin felt like it had been soaked in a herbal bath and the after feeling kinda left me with mixed feelings. The mask made me feel like my skin had been totally moisture deprived.

Towards the end of 15 minutes, I was desperate to get the  ill fitting mask off my face only because of the funky herbal smell. It reminded me of the black Chinese Tonic ( holds nose) that my dad used to brew.

Afterwards, my skin looked very plump, very moisturized without any oily film and very relaxed. Yea, I know it’s a bit strange to say that my skin looks relaxed but it seriously looked like I had gotten a good night’s rest and there was a mild brightening effect too ( I suspect that this is the effect of the pearl powder ingredient). Another plus is that my red post acne scars looked less inflamed.

Ingredients wise, I am quite a fan. It’s not packed full of a thousand different ingredients but I know that it contains a few potent ones such as pearl powder, green tea and Ling Zhi,which is one of the most effective Chinese herbs around.

~A little info on Herbal Ingredient LINGZHI~

Ling Zhi Health benefits:

Aids in strengthening of immune system, chronic bronchitis & Asthma, Diabetes, etc… & Boost Beauty Benefits:

Lingzhi retains and regulates water in the skin and helps maintain the skin's elasticity, keeping the skin hydrated and smooth. It also helps to inhibit the formation and deposit of melanin in skin. Today, Lingzhi beauty care products are becoming new stars in the cosmetic industry. By adding Lingzhi into the bath, not only can skin be kept smooth but it can also help prevent bacterial infections.

Would I repurchase?

This is a mask I love and hate.

I would repurchase for the brightening and moisturising effectiveness. Plus the fact that it made my skin very supple. The mask has a lovely oriental packaging that gives no indication of it’s very affordable price. 

 IMG_1782 IMG_1779

I would not repurchase because it’s stinky, brown in color and it's too small for my face :( I am actually pretty particular about the packaging and actual look of a product…….Oh and I actually left the used mask on a piece of paper and it stained the paper brown too.. Kinda repulsive for a clean freak like me… hahaha

Hey all, I just wanted to let you know that as of today I will no longer be updating this blog.

I've had a lot of fun doing it for the past two years but lately (with a new kid in tow) I just haven't had the time to spend on it that I used to.

I'm really grateful for all the comments and feedback I've received here. Y'all are really swell :)

ETA: My long neglected Twitter which I will try to update more often:

~ Guess Your Age with Chocolate ~

My aunty sent me this crazy email. Chocolate guessed my age correctly!! Have fun with this sweeties!

YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH

Don't tell me your age; you'd probably lie anyway-but the Hershey Man will know!

noname

YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH

noname 

This is pretty neat.
DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!
It takes less than a minute .
Work this out as you read .
Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out!
This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun.

noname 

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate (more than once but less than 10)

noname 

2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)
noname 

3. Add 5
noname 

4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator
noname 

5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1759 ..
If you haven't, add 1758..

noname 

6... Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.

noname
You should have a three digit number

noname
The first digit of this was your original number
(i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week).

noname
The next two numbers are

noname 
YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)
noname
THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2009) IT WILL EVER WORK.

WEIRD ISN’T IT?
