I've finally found time to write!
And after so many months have passed, I've started to work in a new agency ^^
Today, I am giving a review on LuLuLun's Precious Red sheet mask!
☆
☆
☆
LuLuLun is a very popular sheet mask brand in Japan!
The reason why it is so popular and winning cosmetic rewards is that their sheet masks are of high quality, and yet being pretty affordable!
I very recently purchased a box of 40 of the white version, and a pack of precious red version (7 sheets) from Japan.
I tried to use the 7 sheet pack on a daily basis before I head to bed, but on the 5th day I started to fall really ill and stopped using them for a week T_T
... but after recovering from my 40 degree (or 102.2 Fahrenheit, for your reference) high fever, I have finished using the 7-sheet pack and hence I'm writing a review today ^^
What I think about the sheet mask?
- In terms of size
- In terms of size, as compared to the Korean masks that I've used in the past, LuLuLun's sheet masks are small.
- If I am taking innisfree's it's real squeeze mask for comparison, innisfree's mask could cover my entire face but LuLuLun's leaving quite some parts of my face being exposed outside of the mask.
- Then again many Japanese has small faces, so I don't think LuLuLun expected to have foreign people with big faces like me to use their product lol
- In terms of moisturizing power
- In one pack of the sheet mask, it has 7 thick cotton sheets fully soaked in the moisturizing serum!
- After removing the sheet mask upon 10 minutes of application, I fold the cotton sheet and pat the extra serum onto my face and there are still excess serum that I even applied it to my arms and legs before heading to bed!
- Upon waking up on the next day my skin still feels pretty fresh! It feels even better after I simply wash it with tap water ^^
- In terms of smoothness it gives to the skin
- I definitely like LuLuLun's sheet masks compared to innisfree ones! My skin stayed supple and smooth throughout the whole week, and even my relatives that hasn't seen me for a months thought my skin condition improved, even though I was clearly sick LOL
- Comparing it with innisfree's masks, I felt like I didn't really need a lot of moisturizer with LuLuLun's sheet mask as well!
- In terms of anti-aging
- Well, my skin did stay supple and definitely not dry at all!
- My skin could turn flaky when I work in air-conditioned conditions, and even when I was working right under the AC-ed room, my skin stayed strong, not kidding!
- In terms of application
- As compared to Korean sheet masks, LuLuLun only requires 5 to 10 minutes of application!
- Although they asked me to relax as I apply my sheet masks, I usually apply the sheet masks as I work on the laptop in the evening, right before going to bed.
- In terms of packaging
- The packaging of the 7-sheet package is pretty thoughtful as it can be resealed, but I have concerns about the 40-sheet's packaging because I am not too sure how much it could handle the non-stop opening and closing of the packaging.
- Overall thought
- Personally, I would rate it a 4.9/5!
- The only bad side about it is the size, if it is a bigger sheet it would have been perfect!
- In the LuLuLun USA site, the 7-sheet pack is at USD7, but in Amazon JP, the price is less than 500 yen (5USD)! In Malaysian ringgit, that is about RM2.6 per sheet mask if we are not considering about the shipping fees!
- If it is the 40-sheet pack, it is currently 1728yen in Amazon JP, which is only costing approximately RM1.50 per sheet mask (again, shipping fees aside). So yes, it is definitely very affordable if you are purchasing it in Japan!
- I think it is a quick boost of hydration towards your skin that is long-lasting.
- It also keeps your skin moisturized for the entire day, you don't even need to do the double fisting challenge since your skin is already feeling great all-day long!
- It would also be a great idea to use the sheet mask when you wake up so your skin is feeling super great before applying makeup!
- Would I buy it again? Definitely! I have plans to visit Japan soon, but first, I'll make sure to finish my stash of sheet masks!
I hope the above is sufficient for you to consider about trying the sheet mask yourself!
Of course, everyone's skin conditions are different, so it may work better for you, or maybe it may not. Perhaps this mask may also suit more Asians as it's a Japanese brand? :)
Anyways glad to be back and see you again!

Hello everyone! I'm back with writing more reviews! (*´▽｀*)
This time, I wanted to write about horse oil products for hands and skin! I will be reviewing about the products I've tried, then I'll also share some info of horse oil products!
I bought all three products in Tokyo! I thought they were at great deals, and because the weather was pretty cold compared to Kuala Lumpur, I was ultimately scared that my skin would dry out that I kept looking around the drugstores for different stuff!
The first item I bought was a hand cream by Heartfull Cosmetics, I bought it at 268 yen in a drugstore of Takeshita street of Harajuku.

The label also says 'for medical use only'. To be honest, my right hand had this condition where there's this patch of skin of about the size of two 500 yen coins on my palm (stretching a little to my index finger too) that gets SUPER DRY that the skin would 'die' and you could really peel it off. Underneath the epidermis of the skin you can also see little dots that looked like poxes, and they would turn super itchy from time to time that it is super annoying! Despite seeing different doctors and applying to various kinds of creams, the patch of skin never cures to a normal state.
Besides, the product description also says that the product is slightly acidic, and there is no additional coloring or fragrance added. It also says that it will help in the metabolism of the skin and gives elasticity.
And it's because of that I was hoping really hard that there will be some improvements to my skin condition on my right hand!
When squeezed out from the tube, this product color looks like diluted milk, but not watery to the extent it'd run around like water. The odor wasn't unpleasant, but I wasn't very sure how to describe it. This product feels a little watery after application but it didn't feel bad.
My hands feel moisturized after applying the product, and I reapply every couple of hour to keep my hands from drying. The skin has less peeling, and I don't feel any stinging, especially towards the patch of horrible skin. My nails also feel a lot more comfortable during the cold weathers in Japan! No peelings or weird skin condition around the nails too! Not to mention, the product, although it is 'horse OIL', it isn't oily in a disgusting way that most people would think ^^
After returning from Japan, I kept using them in my current work office to the extent where I actually used the product more frequently than when I was in Japan, because our office room is so cold I had to keep my hands moisturized. They are still working well, but somehow I had to apply them on the back of my hands so I don't make my keyboard stained.
Then, on the day before I leave Tokyo, I bought this from a small drugstore in Shinjuku!
The reason I bought this was because of the popularity of the product, and it was seemingly cheaper compared to general drugstores, so I bought them right away! ^^
Compared to the one from Heartfull, this product is less runny, but it works pretty well too! It didn't feel irritating and it's also very moisturizing. The product is also easily absorbed into the skin too! I even applied it on my grandma's 90 y/o super dry arms and even she said that it feels nice too!
I forgot how much exactly I have bought this product in Japan, but they are generally not very cheap if bought from non-Japanese online stores as far as I could remember too.
This product is like a cream/lotion. The product itself is white, doesn't have a strong or unpleasant odor, and is also easy to apply. It also didn't feel irritating on the skin.
Then, I also bought the following product from Japan!
This is also a cream for hands, where the use is similar to the first product. If memory serves me right, you can find this in Hokkaido.
This product, compared to the first one (from Heartfull), has a whiter color, but it isn't as runny as the first. As for the moisturizing power, I think they are pretty similar, but I think that this one works a bit better than the one from heartfull when we are going to talk about the feeling that the product has left on the skin after application. However, my horrible skin patch feels better with Heartfull's product, so I'll personally want to keep using it!
In conclusion, I'd give the following rating to the products in an ascending order:
Moisturizing: Skin Cream #2 > Hokkaido > Heartfull
Medical function: Heartfull > Skin Cream > Hokkaido #2
Odor strength: Hokkaido > Heartfull > Skin Cream #2
Some questions that you might want to get an answer!
Q1: How long can these products last?
A1: Generally, within a year after opening the product. As for the creams, best to finish using them in 6 months.
Q2:Is it possible to use it on dry face?
A2: For the second product that I reviewed, I think it's completely ok to use on the face because regardless how I rank them, they definitely are moisturizing. Since the other two products I reviewed are hand creams, it's the best to used on the hand only.
Sorry for the lack of updates in the past week, I hope to update again soon!
Until next time! ☆
