Early this year I was fortunate enough to be chosen by QUICK FX to receive a PR Package containing their new releases. Aside from the fact that getting PR Packages gets me pumped up, man, it's from QUICK FX! I have reviewed their products years ago and that blog post is the most viewed post here in It's Not Poison. The QUICK FX No Shine Mattifier is a personal favorite so I really had high expectations about their new products. 
Get to know 'em one by one after the jump!
QUICKFX Dewy+ Hydrating Sleep Mask
Price: Php 99.00 for 10g (www.watsons.com.ph)

What is it? What Does It Do?
Delivers ultra hydration to dull skin, replenishing lost moisture to achieve that dewy glow
Contains Snail Extract, Aloe Vera, Licorice Root Extract, Peptide Complex and Adenosine

My Take
One of my readers left a comment on my previous QUICK FX review and she inquired if I would recommend the Quick FX No Shine Mattifier as a sleeping mask. I discouraged her and my reason was that that it  was formulated to serve as a makeup primer and I suggested that for a sleep mask, she should opt for something with more nourishing ingredients. It seems that QUICK FX has filled that void when hey came out with this sleep mask. I already mentioned the benefits and the ingredients above and they are all beneficial for the skin. The product is gel-type and I love how non- greasy it is which makes it comfortable to wear in your sleep. More than the dewy glow and hydration that it brings, I did observe that my skin felt less saggy after using it. It only contains 10g and the thing about sleep masks, at least for me, is that I love to lather it on richly so this size won't really last long. Well, I'm sure QUICKFX is already working on making a bigger size on a tube, just like they did with their No Shine Mattiffier.

QUICKFX Black Clay Mask
Price: Php 99.00 for 10g (www.watsons.com.ph) 

What is it? What Does It Do?
Benefits: Absorbs sebum and skin impurities and refines the appearances of enlarged pores for clear, smooth skin
Contains: Vitamin B6, Salicylic Acid, Menthol and Porous Substances

My Take
Aside from the sleep mask QUICK FX has also released this clay mask for target oily/pimple prone skin, such as mine and that's why it's right up my alley. I am a fan of clay masks because they really help in absorbing excess sebum and unclogging the pores, and this one from QUICKFX is no exemption. Moreover, I also love the cool sensation (because of the Menthol) it brings when I am wearing this, which makes me relaxed and pampered. Take note though that people are sensitive to Menthol so heads up to that if you are sensitive to this ingredient. It also contains Salicylic Acid which based on my experience really does wonder in getting rid of pimples.

QUICKFX Face Masks
Price: Php 89.00 each (www.watsons.com.ph)

They come in assortments namely: Tightening, Sculpting and Hydrating. The face mask lover in me just did triple back flip.

QUICKFX Sculpt Tightening Face Mask

The Cooling Face Mask is obviously my favorite! Face masks per se bring a cooling effect but this one really brings in the extra! My skin felt re-invigorated and re-energized after using it. Actually, all three of them are good and I won't hesitate to pick them up when I chance upon them at Watsons. They target different skin concerns but all revolve on the common goal, which it to keep the skin hydrated to make it healthy.

Overall, I am happy with these brand new products from QUICK FX. They didn't break me out and they worked really well on my skin.
As always, they combined affordability and quality, and I love their packaging too!!!

If you happen to frequent Watsons shops, you have probably seen these tiny Quick FX products just lurking around there somewhere. They are very affordable; I think for these three the price range is from Php 50.00 to about a hundred. I also love the packaging because it's travel-friendly and can fit into a little purse. Check 'em out after the jump.

Meet these cuties from Quick FX!

QUICK FX PIMPLE ERASER
Short description: Helps dry up pimples, helps diminish dark spots due to scarring, helps protect skin against the sun 
Actives: Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Zinc Oxide, Vitamin C and Niacinamide
Ingredients of Quick FX  Pimple Eraser
I'll be honest. This isn't a miracle worker. It's not like you put it on at night and on the next day the pimple would be (poooooooof) gone. Afterall, this only costs less than a hundred pesos (about $2). What I do love about this product is that it helps alleviate the pain of the fat pimp. It also helps fight the swelling or in other words, it doesn't make the irrittation worse. After about two days, the pimp would die and heal to a nice pinkish scar and not a black spot. 

QUICK FX EYELIFT CREAM
Short description: Helps reduce the appearance of lines, dark circles and puffiness, helps refine and tone areas around the yes.
Actives: Ellagic Acid and Niacinamide
Ingredients of Quick FX Eyelift Cream
I have conceded a long time ago that my baggies are  a hopeless case. They are a constant companion even if I've had a good night's sleep. Unless I spend a fortune, I know that they are not going away anytime soon. I use this Eyelift Cream as a pre-concealer undereye cream, especially when I am using a cream concealer. It helps the concealer go smoothly and not appear patchy.

QUICK FX NO-SHINE MATTIFIER
Short description: absorbs oil to control shine for a smooth, matte finish, conceals fine lines and pores for visibly radiant skin instantly
Actives: Salicylic Acid, Chamomile, Tea Tree Extract & MatteWax
Ingredients of Quick FX No-Shine Mattifier
This one is described as a light moisturizer but I actually just use it on top of my moisturizer as a primer. I apply it on my T-zone and on my cheeks where my pores are most prominent and it really helps blur the pores and imperfections a bit. It makes the skin feel soft and smooth and that sort of gives you a clean canvas for applying the foundation.

These are great finds at such an affordable price. Staying pretty doesn't mean you have to break the bank. You just have to look around; sometimes, treasures come in small packages. 

Personally, these Quick FX products are ideal as a backup to your favorite eye creams or primer. You know, these are the ones you can use for office makeup where hindi mo naman kailangan sobrang ganda! LOL. I mean. You can have a more expensive primer or eye cream at hand and you can alternate with these so you won't easily run out of your more expensive ones. Agree?

These are also ideal for students who are lookin' stressed. The Eyelift Cream and the Pimple Eraser could be a big help. Even the No-Shine Mattifier can give them a needed glow. The prices are definitely student-friendly.

There are days when you wake up looking pretty and glowing and there are days that you just look dull. So assess what your skin needs and if all you need is just quick fixing and not a full blown overhaul (!), then Quick FX is your friend.

EDIT: NOVEMBER 13, 2017
I had a record high - five pimples at the same time. One below my nose, two on my chin and two on my forehead. Quick FX really helped a great deal in the quick healing of my pimples. Not instant though, but in two days they looked better. There's also no scarring.
