Nature Republic’s Whitening Collagen Dream Sheet Mask review~!

Facial mask advertised by JYJ? I'll take it!

Instructions and other tidbits in Hangul~

1. After cleansing, clean up your skin with toner first

2. Attach the sheet mask on your face tightly

3. About 20~25 minutes later, take off the sheet and tap lightly.

Didn't dig the mask texture at all. The quality felt a bit, err, I'm not exactly sure how to put it, but it felt like it was definitely lacking in quality. Though the mask soaked in the liquid it still felt like it could dry out so easily.

s c e n t : Baby cologne. I'm not fond of baby cologne scents when it comes to facial masks baby cologne but thankfully it wasn't the strong painful baby cologne type of scent that gives me headaches. More of mild baby cologne with a hint of... let's just say it smelled like baby cologne mixed with what i assume to be the scent of young virgin women running through a field of flowers (clearly i'm horrible at describing things, yeah? haha~)

It isn't a bad scent, but it's not exactly my favorite either.

photos with face masks matched with post-shower hair are always frightening

Closing my eyes and posing all chio-like as I take in the scent of virgins carrying babies in a field of dasies~

*using that as an excuse to cover up the fact i'm not wearing any lenses*

still so incredibly creepy-looking!

In the end, the mask delivered by giving me a teeny tiny bit of a brighter complexion (though not as noticeable as compared to facial masks i've tried in the past) and firmer skin. That's all I really need in a facial mask, to be honest. But still, it's not enough to make me purchase another.

Only decent photo of me for today!

Happy smiles today because of dinner with Darren at Bon Chon!

All cause of Bon Chon, clearly.

Etude House Milk Talk Body Wash #1 (Strawberry Milk) + Etude House Dress Room Sweet Look Shower Cologne Review

Little review on Etude House products

Milk Talk Body Wash #1 (Strawberry Milk)
Dress Room Sweet Look Shower Cologne

Picked up the Strawberry Milk Talk Body Wash from Etude House a few months ago~

To be honest, I was trying to find a product to help me reach an amount so that I could pick up a freebie (because I just hate walking out of Etude House without a freebie because they're all just so wonderful.)

I asked the staff for suggestions and she showed me the new Milk Talk Body Wash products.

I picked up the strawberry one and let me tell you now...

I'm not joking at all when I say that it smells EXACTLY like strawberry milk.

Honestly! You could blindfold yourself and have this in a cup next to real strawberry milk and you'll never be able to tell them apart. I'm just really amazed with how they managed to get this scent. So strawberry-like and milky.

The only flaw would be that the scent doesn't really last long. It fades after a few hours which just makes me really sad. I'd love for them to turn it into perfume/cologne in the future. I'd love for my room to smell like this as well.

But for now, I'm pretty happy with my current Dress Room Sweet Look Shower Cologne~

I had the Sweet Look Body Lotion as a freebie previously and I just couldn't wait to get my hands on the cologne! The lotion + cologne combo is just incredible and it really stays true to the "sweet look" title.

It's really sweet without being too overwhelming.

I can't really describe the scent. All I can say it that it smells really sweet, like a ton of fresh fruits maybe? Ahh, you really must find out for yourself though~

+ make sure you apply after a few hours to keep the refreshing sweet scent!

Mine's almost empty so I plan on getting more soon.

I'm a sucker for really sweet types of scents so thank goodness for Etude House.

Also, I finally finally sorted out my falsies~!

Hopefully I can pass by Daiso soon so that I could pick up proper cases for my homeless lashes.

Nature Republic's Foot Therapy Peeling Mask

There's a shop by Taft that I like to stop by that re-sells a bunch of Korean cosmetics and facial masks and I was a bit shocked when the employee told me about the arrival of a "foot peeling" mask. I've read about foot peeling masks before and I've seen a couple of reviews, but I decided that I really had to see it for myself.

Nature Republic's Foot Therapy Peeling Mask!

Opened up the package and found this! Inside it comes with this plastic sock type of thing~

(Keep it on for around 90 minutes.)

Remember that you need to keep your feet flat on the ground to avoid the liquid inside from spilling out. There was a little spill because I was lying down on my bed while watching tv, waiting for an hour and a half to pass.

whoops~

A few nights after, my feet started feeling a bit weird. I don't know how to perfectly describe it. It kind of resembled hard wax?

Well, I didn't really mind it until I was in bed one night feeling really uncomfortable because I felt like there was large pieces of dirt under the covers (Which immediately freaked me out because it reminded me of sand getting in the bed whenever I go to beaches which honestly just pisses me off like nothing else in the world.).

I looked under the blanket and I felt... pieces of skin?

Then suddenly I see my foot...

!!!!

A bit frightening to look at at first, but before I knew it I began peeling away skin!

I must admit, peeling away the skin feels a bit.... theraputic in a way?

There's a teeny tiny heart shaped piece of skin.

Still in the peeling process at the moment.

[I'll go on and update this entry once my foot stops looking like a snake.]

ICE QUEEN SNOW WHITE SLEEPING CREAM REVIEW

Tony Moly review! Say hello to the Ice Queen Snow White Sleeping Cream~

Another Tony Moly product! As always, you can expect the cutest packaging when it comes to Tony Moly. This time, it looks just like ice cream~!

Directions: Apply an appropriate amount along the skin texture and gently pat to absorb. Use this at the last stage of skin care process.

This is a product that aims to cool and brighten your skin overnight!

Looking at the content, it didn't seem like much and I thought that it would run out quickly. To be honest, I didn't think it would last more than a month. Thankfully that isn't the case. A small pea-sized amount of cream will be enough cover a large area on your face.

Light and fluffy cream!

As soon as you apply it to your skin, it feels like the cream melts and takes in a new form which feels very light and moisturizing.

Minty scent is very pleasing.
It gives off a nice cooling sensation.
Cream melts into your skin like ice cream~!
There are times when the cream feels a tad bit sticky (borderline greasy) a few minutes after application (though this only happened twice out of the weeks I've been testing it out).
Results can be seen after a few nights of application when you wake up and see radiant and brighter looking skin. Honestly one of the best results I've seen when it comes to brightening creams.
You can defintely expect brighter skin after usage.

Rating: Although I prefer masks when it comes to the whole night routine, Ice Queen is a wonderful product and I wouldn't mind having it again and again~

TONY MOLY INTENSE REPAIR LIVE SNAIL HYDRO-GEL MASK REVIEW

Tony Moly review! Say hello to the Intense Repair Live Snail Hydro-gel Mask

"Skin repairing and deep moisturizing mask sheet with extracted mucus element from living snail."

Wow, a product that has snail mucus!

Let's see how this goes~

[ Direction ] Tear open and apply to face.

Here's a snap I took from my phone so you can see the mask on my face a bit more clearly. The mask looks like it's made out of jelly~

Leave on for 20 - 30 minutes then remove.

Don't forget to take it off after 20-30 minutes!

I prefer to go for 30 minutes.

After a few minutes of applying the mask you can start to feel a sort of cooling and minty sensation on your skin.
Application is simple enough and easy to do.
Expensive compared to facial masks you can get elsewhere (This costs P298 as compared to other facial masks you can get at P100 or even P40)
It has a very clean and a hint of a floral and herb-like scent.
The mask itself is very unique. Rather than a full face mask, it is split into the upper half (mask coverage: forehead to nose) and the lower half (cupid's bow to chin).

I thought that the mask would leave my face sticky and gooey because of how it felt at first. After taking it out, my skin felt very firm and hydrated with a radiant glow~

Rating: Waaaa! I'm so fascinated with this~<3 Amazing even though it might be on the pricey side.

TONY MOLY APPLETOX SMOOTH MASSAGE PEELING CREAM REVIEW

Tony Moly review! Say hello to the Appletox Smooth Massage Peeling Cream~

Here it is! Ahh, I'm a sucker for such cute packaging~!

Open it up and you can find the cream inside.

The scent is beyond amazing! Very similar to a sweet, fresh-cut apple.

^ o ^

After going through your cleansing, apply the appletox cream into your skin and massage in a circular motion.

Here I'll be testing it out using the back of my hand.

After a little while, you will begin to feel the cream break down into a different texture. As you continue to massage it unto your skin, you can see the dead skin cells start to form.

See all that? Those are all the dead skin cells from my hand! x _ x

What I love about this product is that you see the results form immediately.

Also, once you're out of cream, you can still keep the packaging for future purposes. It's great to recycle something as adorable as this.

Rating: Amazing. I'd definitely buy it over and over again.
