The Birthday Gift Mask
The Face Shop
It was G's birthday a few weeks ago. She got a text from The Faceshop that as she is a Faceshop member, she's eligible to claim her birthday gift from The Faceshop.
So, off we went to The Mall Gadong a couple of days ago.
As always, walking into the store, it strikes me how BRIGHT the lighting of the store is. Some girls may prefer that, but I am not one of them. I always feel that every spot and pimple is exposed every time I'm in there!
And I don't know if you girls noticed, but their four branches in Brunei has varying degree of brightness. The KB branch has a more yellowish and dimmer lighting, while the Yayasan and The Mall branches is whiter lighting tone.
But, by far, the brightest lit Faceshop branch is at Times Square. It's like a shining jewel in the dark!
This pic is actually of a Faceshop branch in S'pore. Couldn't find a similar one of Brunei's Faceshop branches.
Anyway, back to G's birthday gift from The Faceshop. If it's your birthday month, all Faceshop members get:-
- A 20% discount voucher on any regular priced item;
- A 50% discount voucher on a SINGLE item;
- A Faceshop Face Mask
Power Treatment Gel Mask (Clarifying & Pore Care) from Faceshop
The Power Treatment Gel Mask supposedly clarifies skin and provides gentle exfoliation to help reduce excess oil and pore clogging debris, while leaving skin feeling, fresh, supple and smooth.
The instructions for the face mask, found at the back of the packet, looks simple enough. Separate mask from film, put the top piece on the upper part of your face, put the bottom piece on the lower part of your face, wait for 20 minutes. And then, take it off.
The Face Mask comes in two pieces.
Tearing open the packet, the mask doesn't look all that simple to use.
The two-piece mask was quite wet and slippery, which is quite common, I suppose. But there were a few layers to the mask, and we weren't quite sure which to pull off. So, just guessed, pulled off the whitish paper off, and put the gel-side of the mask on.
The bottom part of the mask.
MASK ON!
Twenty minutes later...
The mask remained wet and was dripping down G's neck. After peeling the mask off, G massaged her face with her palm for maximum absorption and declared that her skin feels refreshed.
There's no obvious changes to the skin as this was just a one-time use. But it looks interesting and I may get some of these for myself.
If you're wondering why the mask is in two pieces, I'm guessing it's so that the masks will fit all face sizes. Sometimes, I get face masks that are too big, and it's such a hassle.
So, I like that Faceshop thought of that and produced these kind of face masks for ease of use.
The Faceshop has a range of face masks for you to try out, including those pictured above. If anyone had tried any other Faceshop masks, I'd like to hear what you'd have to say about it here. :)
And remember, if it's your birthday month, don't forget to head to The Faceshop to get your birthday gifts!
Until next time!
UPDATED: Added 50% discount voucher for birthday special discounts.

Really too super white, it's such a turn-off. i don't mind the KB branch one though. It's not TOO bright. -

Argh, you're so right about the lighting! I feel like some night-owl/vampire/dracula whenever I walk pass their shops here in Singapore.. it's like NOOOOO! Haha. Drama.
Anyway, I don't know about their face masks, but I think their lotions smell PRETTY! -

Manisha, hahahha no no I react the same way! You should see the Times Square one, I actually gave it a wide berth. It's SUPER WHITE LIGHTING!
Hehe, i'll try their lotions when i get the chance then. But I think VS will be my fave forever! :P
Amalia: Ooh the strawberry gel looked very interesting actually. I just got the Very Berry Scrub Foam, mostly because it's pink and smells like berries. Lol.

During my birthday month in February 2012 I was given 2 samples of rice water and 1 sample of uplifting moisturizer. Do you consider these as surprise gift for your birthday? During that moment I did make some purchase with a discount birthday card. Thank you.
