Ola beauties! Who doesn't love pampering themselves in the weekend right? I'd rather do facials at home rather than going to skin spa for facial treatment. This is because I have been to a few of them and I always ended up having breakouts afterwards. So as for now, I can only trust myself for my face hahaha, which explains my mask collection at home. Maybe I should do a post about my mask collection soon?

Anyway, Freeman is very famous for their facial masks that are so good and affordable. I have tried the Mint & Lemon Clay mask, and Cucumber Peel Off mask from their regular line. Loveee the first one, not so much for the latter. But, this is my first one to try from their new Beauty Infusion line, the Manuka Honey and Collagen Hydrating Cream Mask

There are 2 other masks and 1 overnight mask from this line.

Packaging wise, I really love it! It looks very exclusive compared to colorful ones from their original collection. However, the content is a lot little for 118ml compared to 150ml from the original version, and it is selling for RM47 in drugstores. A little expensive I would say, so I expect this mask to be amazing. This mask is serum infused and dermatologist tested. What's good about Freeman is that they don't test it on animals, so big yay!



This mask claims to :

-Instantly boosts moisture
- Restores smoothness
-Improves elasticity

The mask comes out in thick white cream, almost like hair conditioner. It smells like hair conditioner too lol. Despite having manuka honey as one of the main ingredients, it doesn't feel too sticky. It just sits well on the face. I usually apply quite a thick layer and let it sit for about 15 to 20 minutes before rinsing it off. 

When I first apply it on my skin, it gives me a tingling sensation. I don't know if that is good or bad, but the tingling will be gone after a few minutes. So as long as I didn't get any irritation from this mask, I'm good lol. But if you have a very sensitive skin you might wanna take this as a concern, because there are mix reviews online about this mask that says it burns for their skin. 


Visually, it doesn't give me any extravagant changes. It's not those typical mask that brightens your skin temporarily for that wow effect after you rinse it off. But my skin definitely feels a lot smoother and softer to the touch. It feels adequately moisturize and comfortable afterwards, like I do not need to add on any more moisturizer, but I do so anyway. My skin just feels hydrated and moisturized, that's all I can say about it. I am not sure about elasticity improvement, because I do not notice any plumping effect or any other improvements.

I even tried applying this every single night for a week but my skin still gets dry during mid day. If you're wondering, yes I am someone who drinks a lot too.  I do however, notice that my pores are tighter and appear smaller, but the effect is temporary.

Do I recommend this thing? If you have very dry skin and are looking for a good mask that really focuses on moisturizing, sure! Why not. But other than that, I know a lot more other masks that moisturizes and yet gives a lot of other beneficial stuff at the same time for cheaper. My all time favorite moisturizing mask is definitely Rice Wash Off Mask from Skinfood, so you might want to check that out if you think this is a bit too expensive for a drugstore mask. Overall, this is a very good hydrating mask, but it's just can't replace my all time favourite hehe.

Pros :
  • Very hydrating
  • Tighten pores
  • Skin feels soft and smooth afterwards
Cons : 
  • I'm not a fan of the scent and how it feels like hair conditioner
  • A little pricey
  • Effects are temporary

When it comes to doing my makeup, lipstick is the part where I am always the most excited about. I personally think that I look and feel the best with a little bit of color on my lips. But to find one that stays all day, is very though.


This product claims to last for 16 hours on the lips. That is a huge claim for lip products considering we gotta eat and drink and some of yall maybe smooch throughout 16 hours in a day of your life. As for me anyway, my mind is already trained to reapply my lipstick throughout the day so I gotta bring a lipstick with me for touch ups whenever I go out.




Let's talk packaging. I personally think that packaging is sleek and I love love love the fact that the tube resembles the color that you're getting. It is very helpful when you're someone that owns another 100 nude lipsticks (I am exaggerating but you get the point lol). And the white top just add a touch of class to it. Some of you may think it is pretty bulky for travelling, but I don't mind it.



It has a reservoir tip which is uncommon in other lipstick products and I actually adore it so much. The pointed tip makes application soooo easy and fast. Do you see that divot in the middle? From what I have read, it is so that the applicator collects more product onto it. Genius! I am usually not a fan of scents in my products, but this one has a sweet vanilla scent that I can look pass it. I am not sure if it is the same scent for other colors though.


Freshly swatched

After set, it turns a little darker exactly like the color on the tube packaging.

The shade that I got is 75 Firefighter, which looks like a burnt orange. I should have got other colors if you look at my lipstick collection but what can I do, I love orange lipsticks so much hahaha. Within one swipe, this covers my lips perfectly. I have other matte liquid lipsticks that are streaky and needs multiple coats for the opaqueness that this one from Maybelline gives in one swipe.


Like any other matte lipsticks, this one does settles into my lip lines as well. It's a no surprise for me though, matte lipsticks often tend to suck up the moisture on my lips. But on another note, does it lasts long on the lips? I'd say heck yes!


The first time I tried this, I went on a Kfry date with my boyfriend. Oh you know Kfy, those juicy chicken drumsticks covered in layers of cheesy goodness. So I went to the ladies afterwards because I didn't bring my small mirror for touch up, and to my surprise, I didn't need to! It stays put and didnt budge at all, damn I was so surprised. Surprised of how good my lips still looks like after gobbling on that meal. I did a kissproof test on the back of my hand and guess what? Absolutely nothing transfers! But, you gotta allow at least 2 minutes for it to set on your lips first.

On another day, I wore this lipstick and went lunch with my girlfriends and I ordered Carbonara. Now this one made my lipstick fade. However, my friend was wearing it too and she had a good amount of pizzas but her lipstick stays put. Therefore I can say that with this lipstick, it won't last very well on...omg what is "berkuah" in english? Haha! To my malay readers, you get the point. If you don't understand malay, I'd say just avoid creamy things like pastas with this lipstick or those Asian soupy meals. Other than that, you're good to go.

My friend Ayu (Front) after having pizzas, absolutely no reapplication needed!

Overall, this is by far the best matte liquid lipstick that I own and I am already planning to get more colors. The longevity is no joke for a drugstore product, damn Maybelline you've done great! I am so impressed. For RM35, this worth every single penny spent. I give this a 5/5, go grab yours now!

Pros :

  • Lasts long
  • Doesn't need to touch up after certain meals
  • Affordable
  • Very opaque
  • Easy application
  • Color on the packaging is exactly what you're getting inside
Cons :
  • A little drying. Just a little!
