Wanted to get some hydration into my skin today so brought out one of the #ABYBom #Sheetmasks that @maskhouseuk sent to me. I love these masks because they’re soaked in essence, are very thin and leave my skin feeling hydrated and pampered. As always this mask did not disappoint. I placed the four little leaves on my chin and cheeks for extra hydration then overlaid with the thin sheetmask on top. I usually get a 30 minute wear out of these masks without it drying out. They are a little pricier than some masks but my face is definitely thankful for it. . . . . . . . . . . , . #sheetmask #abcommunity #rasianbeauty #asianbeautyblogger #skincarejunkie #skincareroutine #maskaddict https://www.instagram.com/p/BvryEtQHJUM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1d01qzyhj8ggo

Going to meet Gothamista today at the #Kbeautyunwrapped event hosted by @skinsider_uk and am super excited! Of course before this event I’m giving my skin a full body pampering bringing out the big guns. First going to be using the #Yokozuna #Bathbomb exclusive I bought from #Lush in Japan. Yokozuna is the highest rank a sumo wrestler can achieve before they are deemed the master of champions, and this has a sea salt caramel scent to it and contains salt. The scent was not the strongest which is an experience I’ve now had twice with these exclusive bathbombs. . 🛁 On my face today I went with some gentle exfoliating and then some heavy glow and hydrating hitters! @MaskhouseUK kindly sent me some of my favourite #AByBom #Sheetmasks to be trying out and keep an eye on the gram for a review of this Sakura beauty soon (also very in season🌸). #Imfrom Volcanic Clay Mask #Erborian Pate Au Ginseng Mask #SomeByMi Toner #AtoClassic Toner #AByBom Sheetmask #Iunik Propolis Serum #abskincare #rasianbeauty #ukbeautyblogger #koreancosmetics #skincareroutine #skincarejunkie #instablogger #instabeauty #ukbeauty #skincareblogger #instaskincare #abcommunity #asianbeauty https://www.instagram.com/p/BvWY5frnna9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17qjz5mwxp5si

Couldn’t resist picking up my favourite #PapaRecipe #Sheetmask Sets while I was in Hong Kong! I love these masks, they are super thin and soaked in essence. The normal honey mask is my favourite one, but I thought I’d give whitening a try to see if it would help brighten up my dull winter skin. I was tempted by the avocado one but I’ve not seen many reviews of that yet. I do wish they had kept the cute monkey packaging though. Which of the papa recipe masks are your favourite? . . . . . . . . . . . . .. #abskincare #rasianbeauty #ukbeautyblogger #koreancosmetics #skincareroutine #skincarejunkie #instablogger #instabeauty #ukbeauty #skincareblogger #instaskincare #abcommunity #asianbeauty #asianbeautyblogger https://www.instagram.com/p/BvKXl8GnpfM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mz8pl57jzf1m

Back in the UK! Had the most amazing time out in Japan and HK, will be sharing more pics from my travels in my stories shortly. While out there I went to the Harajuku #Lush store and got a lucky cat #bathbomb.! This is the first full routine I’ve done in a while and my skin is feeling pampered. . 🛁 #SundayRiley Saturn Acne Mask - some sulphur scent to this but my skin was in need of the deep clean. #ThankYouFarmer Soothing Gel Mask to bring back the hydration into my skin post mask. #SomeByMi Miracle Toner gifted by @beauty_and_seoul #pyunkangyul Ampoule, #Iunik Propolis Serum and @jumiso_official #Sheetmask to finish off this hydrating routine! . . . . . . . , #koreanbeauty #abcommunity #ablondon #skincareproducts #rasianbeauty #lushie #skincareroutine #abskincare #rasianbeauty #ukbeautyblogger #koreancosmetics #skincareroutine #skincarejunkie #instablogger #instabeauty #ukbeauty #skincareblogger #instaskincare #abcommunity #asianbeauty https://www.instagram.com/p/BvEUKxsnePV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wehn595sga8

#JGJayJun #Sheetmask time in Japan! This is the antidust therapy mask, which has ingredients such as Centella asiatica, ginger oil, goldenrod amongst other botanical ingredients. This is also a three step mask including a cleanser and a cream step in addition to the sheetmask step. . 🍀 I love the packaging of this mask it really caught my eye. Would love a notebook with this print. The sheetmask itself was green and light, though the fit was a little large for me. . 💐 The mask was dripping with essence and I had enough for my neck and elbows as well. It had a soft floral scent to it which I enjoyed. It was a thirty minute wear, but took about ten more minutes after that to fully soak into my face. . 🌺 I did enjoy the sheetmask, my skin felt nice and soft afterwards. I’m not sure it helped with redness which I expected. Also not sure what the anti-dust was meant to be for my face, but I did feel very clean! . . . . . . . . . . . . #ablondon #koreanbeauty #abcommunity #skincareproducts #mask #rasianbeauty #asianbeautyblogger #skincarejunkie #maskaddict https://www.instagram.com/p/BuQyZrYHaJ6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1goleaf5ctkz4

This time focusing on the brands who came to present, @beauty_and_seoul, @yuukahouse, @glamtouchuk, @luckyfaceuk, @melonandstarfish, @_tonic15 and @buttermilkskincare.

If it wasn’t for the fact that I was travelling to japan I know my wallet would have suffered some serious damage that day. Photo credits of the people behind the brands to dee who took some amazing shots on the day.
