Product Review: SK-II Skin Signature 3D Redefining Mask

SK-II Skin Signature Series

For fall 2009, SK-II launched the Skin Signature series to replace its Signs Treatment Totality series. Currently, the Skin Signature series includes Skin Signature cream, Skin Signature 3D Redefining Mask and Skin Signature Cream-in Foundation.

SK-II Skin Signature Series
As an updated anti-aging version of the Signs Treatment Totality series, Skin Signature is designed to repair, restore and strengthen Skin Power. According to SK-II, "Skin Power" is skin's natural ability to withstand stress and maintain its radiance, smoothness, resilience and firmness.

The star ingredients in the Skin Signature series include Pitera™ (yeast ferment filtrate), Signaline™ (a blend of olive oil and jojoba oil) and Oli-Vityl™, which is a new key ingredient derived from an olive species that grows in Tuscany, Italy. They help to recondition skin, restore skin's natural ability to fight against external and internal stresses by promoting anti-oxidant activity, and improve firmness and elasticity of skin.

Today, I am going to share my experiences with SK-II Skin Signature 3D Redefining Mask.

SK-II Skin Signature 3D Redefining Mask

The mask is designed to target fine lines, wrinkles, and temporarily lift up three critical sagging areas that substantially influence a woman's perceived age:
  • The highest part of the cheek
  • The nasolabial line
  • The corners of the mouth

Skin Signature 3D Redefining Mask comes in 6 pieces. Each piece of Skin Signature 3D Redefining Mask consists of two stretchable mask sheets. The upper sheet targets fine lines and wrinkles on forehead, while the lower sheet helps lift and firm the three sagging areas.

This mask has a botanical scent derived from 13 natural ingredients to encourage a relaxing experience. This lightly floral scent smells fresh and soothing.

The mask is relatively thick, and is substantially soaked with essence. It is not drippy, however.

It stretches very well to cover the whole face and fit the curves on the face, so that it doesn't slip easily.

Does Skin Signature 3D Redefining Mask provides an immediate lifting effect? Yes, it does live up to its claims. It leaves the skin on my face a firmer and more contoured appearance.

Moreover, the mask provides long-lasting moisturizatioin to my face. It keeps my skin well-hydrated, radiant and supple.

Summary

To sum up, SK-II Skin Signature 3D Redefining Mask moisturizes skin effectively, smoothes fine lines, and lifts up my face with a radiant and youthful complexion instantly. It allows makeup to go on smoothly and adhere to skin well.


Skin Signature 3D Redefining Mask (6 pieces)
retails for $135 USD. It is a hefty price tag. From my experiences with the mask, I think it is not only a good choice for skincare routine, but also a trusted mask for last-minute face lift and deep moisturization for special occasions like weddings and cocktail/formal parties.

Lollipop from Essie Winter 2009 Sweet Time of the Year Collection

Lollipop from Essie Winter 2009 Collection

Among the nail colors from the latest holiday collections that I bought, Lollipop from Essie winter 2009 collection is my favorite one. The uniqueness of color and the quality of application are among the reasons I like it so much.

Lollipop is a bright cherry-based red with a crème finish. I am impressed that the application is very smooth and easy. It doesn't streak. Drying time is good, and the lasting power is decent.

Lollipop from Essie Winter 2009 Collection

This shade is buildable for the desired intensity of pigment and opacity. It is a cherry pink-red with a semi-transparent finish in one coat. With two coats, it imparts a high-gloss, candy-like bright red color in an opaque finish.

Lollipop from Essie Winter 2009 Collection

I found this shade looks most beautiful in at least two coats. It is the high shine finish that makes this shade stand out. This lovely bright red goes well with my predominantly dark winter outfits, and is the perfect bright red for a party.
