Review of My Scheming’s Pore-Minimizing Black Mask

My Scheming is a popular Taiwanese skincare brand and their products are designed for everyone to enjoy the improvement of their skin texture regardless of their skin type and seasonal changes. Their motto is putting into action immediately = the power of beauty. They are most well known for their silk sheet masks. Their Pore-Minimizing Black Mask is designed to reduce pore size and oil secretion, it also balances out oil and moisture in the skin. Key ingredients include sodium hyaluronate (anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, hydrating, moisturizing, healing), hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid (designed to easier penetrate the skin, stimulates collagen synthesis, moisturizing), witch hazel extract (promotes faster skin healing, soothing, refreshing), and cucumber fruit extract (hydrating, moisturizing, soothing, cooling, nourishing, softening). This product retails for between $1-3 USD, you can get 8 pieces here for $14.94 + free shipping.

Ingredients

Water, Propylene Glycol, Butylene Glycol, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Triethanolamine, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Bark/Leaf/Twig Extract, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Lens Esculenta (Lentil) Seed Extract, Hydroxyethyl Urea, Sclerotium Gum, Gentiana Lutea (Gentian) Root Extract, Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Hydrolyzed Silk, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Chlorphenesin, Phenoxyethanol, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Fragrance

The mask contains 25 ml (0.84 oz) and it has a charcoal skincare type of fragrance.

The sheet mask is very soft and infused with charcoal to help with oily skin. The mask has a good fit, but I did need to widen the eye holes.

Recommended use is to wash face before using, gently remove the sheet mask from its packaging and apply to face for 15-30 minutes. After using, first, to note, there is fragrance, it's mixed with a natural charcoal scent from the mask itself. The mask is very soft and smooth and has a good fit, but I did need to adjust it a little bit, it's easy enough to rip but it's not flimsy. The ingredients are very ideal for the purpose of the mask. It helps to control oil and it does blur pores somewhat immediately after using. It also contains soothing ingredients and helps to hydrate and moisturize and reduce oil without drying out the skin. It tones redness in the skin as well and is very comfortable. I'd recommend this to anyone with oily skin, acne-prone skin as well as to people with easily irritated skin.

What I like: this mask is very comfortable and blurs the pores. It's hydrating, soothing, and doesn't irritate the skin and it does control the balance of oil and moisture in the skin. This is a more ideal mask for people with acne-prone skin, oily skin, and people with easily irritated skin. What I don't like: nothing, really, the only issue might be fragrance.

Pros:

Soothing

Hydrating

Moisturizing

Controls oil

Blurs pores

Tones redness

Comfortable

Charcoal mask

Cons:

Fragrance

This mask contains 28 ml (0.94 oz) and has a basic skincare scent.

The mask is very thin and very thin and soft and does rip very easily. The eye holes needed to be widened but otherwise it was a great fit.

Recommended use is to wash your face before using, gently remove the sheet mask from the packaging and apply to the face for 15-30 minutes. After using, to note, there is a basic skincare kind of scent but there isn't any artificial fragrance in this mask which is great if you have issues with fragrance. The mask itself is super silky and soft and it's very easy to adjust as it rips pretty easily which can be a good or bad thing. The ingredients are really nice and there are no major irritants in this mask. My skin is relatively sensitive, but this mask didn't cause any irritation for me and it did work to tone and even out my skin tone. It's also hydrating and there's a lot of essence and it's comfortable to wear for a long period of time. I'd recommend this to people who suffer from redness and hyperpigmentation issues and for people who have sensitive skin.

What I like: this mask is really comfortable and soft and the ingredients are really nice. It does help to hydrate as well as tone the skin and reduce redness and target hyperpigmentation. There's no irritants and it's artificial fragrance free. The mask is very easy to adjust and nice to wear for a long period of time. What I don't like: nothing, really.

Pros:

Hydrating

Astringent

Evens out skin tone

Reduces hyperpigmentation and redness

Nice ingredients

Comfortable

Very soft material

Nice quality

Fragrance-free

Sensitive skin friendly

Cons:

None

Review of My Scheming’s Honey Hydrating Mask

My Scheming is a popular Taiwanese skincare brand and their products are designed for everyone to enjoy the improvement of their skin texture regardless of their skin type and seasonal changes. Their motto is putting into action immediately = the power of beauty. They are most well known for their silk sheet masks. This particular mask contains honey extract (moisturizing, antioxidant, vitamin-rich, nourishing, antiseptic), niacinamide (whitening, lightening, anti-aging, rejuvenating, anti-wrinkle), sodium hyaluronate (anti-aging, anti-wrinkle, hydrating, moisturizing, healing) and milk protein (anti-irritant, hydrating, nourishing, healing). This mask retails for about $2-4 USD, you can get a box of 10 here for $14.99 + free shipping.

Ingredients

Water, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Hydroxyethyl Urea, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Niacinamide, Chlorphenesin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Honey Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Xanthan Gum, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Phenoxyethanol, Milk Protein, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Arginine, Fragrance

This mask contains 25 ml (0.84 oz) and the mask's material is very silky, naturally and thin. The eye, nose and mouth holes all fit comfortably and it's a very nice mask to use. This mask has a beautiful honey scent as well.

Recommended use is to apply the mask on cleansed and toned face. Leave on for 20-30 minutes and then peel off. Gently massage until all remaining essence is absorbed. After using, this mask is very thin but completely drenched in essence so it takes a very long time to dry out completely. It was very comfortable and I really liked the feeling of the silk mask. The ingredients are simple and my skin felt very smooth and moisturized and my complexion looked healthier and the redness was toned down. I think this is great for anyone, especially sensitive dry skin.

What I like: I love the mask's material, I think the mask line is amazing and super comfortable. The ingredients are lovely and it's a great mask to leave on for a long period of time. It's moisturizing and refreshing and it really tones down redness. I think this overall improved my skin's health. What I don't like: nothing really. Other than it's getting a little harder to buy.

Pros:

Moisturizing

Refreshing

Tones redness

Comfortable

Great mask material

Really improves skin health

Cons:

Not as easy to find anymore

Review of My Scheming’s 7-IN-1 Brightening Essence Mask

My Scheming is a popular Taiwanese skin care brand and their products are designed for everyone to enjoy the improvement of their skin texture regardless of their skin type and seasonal changes. Their motto is putting into action immediately = the power of beauty. They are most well known for their silk sheet masks. This particular mask contains: sasa veitchii leaf extract (rich in vitamins and minerals, antiseptic), lotus flower extract (antioxidant-rich, moisturizing), tranexamic acid (skin lightening, brightening), aminopropyl ascorbyl phosphate (anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, lightens discolorations), glutathione (antioxidant-rich, skin whitening), cherry blossom flower extract (anti-inflammatory, soothing) and dipotassium glycyrrhizate (anti-irritant, anti-inflammatory, brightening). This mask retails for about $2-4 USD, you can get it here for $2 USD + free shipping.

Ingredients

Water, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Sodium Hyaluronate, Paraffinum Liquidum/Sodium Polyacrylate, Sasa Veitchii (Kuma Bamboo Grass) Leaf Extract, Nelumbo Nucifera Flower Extract, Propylene Glycol, Tranexamic Acid, Glycerin, Arbutin, Acetyl Tyrosine, Saxifraga Sarmentosa Extract, Paeonia Suffruticosa (Moutan Peony) Root Extract, Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate, Scutellaria Baicalensis (Baikal Skullcap) Root Extract, Glutathione, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, PEG-120 Jojoba Esters, Xanthan Gum, Prunus Domestica (Common Plum) Fruit Extract, Lilium Candidum (Madonna Lily) Bulb Extract, Prunus Speciosa (Oshima Cherry) Flower Extract, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Urea, Polyoxyethylenated Alkylphenol/Polyoxyethylenated Sorbitan Monolaurate, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Methylisothiazolinone, Fragrance

So, this mask is really very interesting, the material is silk (according to the description) and very thin, almost invisible, it acts as a second skin and clings comfortably to the skin. The eyes, nose and mouth holes are comfortably big and the mask just smells like basic skincare. The essence is extremely plentiful as there is 25 ml (.84 oz) of it in the package. The mask overall is very comfortable and soothing on the skin. It left my skin very brighten and moisturized with no irritation. Recommended use is 15-20 minutes, but it dries out after about an hour.

What I like: I really enjoy just how good most Taiwanese sheet masks are, this one is no exception, it was very comfortable, good material and very nice to wear. I liked how well it brightened my skin and my skin remained very bright for a while after that. The scent was just like any kind of sheet mask and not bad or overwhelming. These masks are pretty reasonable at 2 bucks a pop and the silk mask feels very high quality for the price. What I don't like: nothing really, this mask was great, maybe the only issue is that this mask might be kind of hard to track down.

Pros:

Brightening

Lightening

Great material

Comfortable

Moisturizing

Soothing

High quality

Inexpensive

Cons:

Nothing except maybe availability

My Dearest Sister Who I Know Reads My Blog,

Yes, I know I did bad. You don’t need to tell me. But don’t worry, this isn’t just for me, it’s for you as well. Just think of that when you see this post. And when I see you in 5 days. You can pick ANY of these to try out. 

On a different note, hello people who browse this teeny tiny tumblr. 

I did a bit of a face mask haul. And if you guys want to buy any of these sets, I will link you to them, so that you too can have an abundance of sheet masks. 

Both of these packages arrived sometime this week and had very fast shipping, so I didn’t have to wait long to do this post. 

My Scheming Facial Mask Variety Gift Set (24ct) - $25.99 Online folks know that My Scheming is a great brand to buy sheet masks from because they’re usually fairly inexpensive and the quality is great. Since I’ve never tried any, I thought this set would be perfect for me to try out. I will include a list of what is included in this set at a later time, because it’s nearing midnight as I’m writing this and I’m an old lady who needs her sleep. 

Memebox Juice Box 30ct - $34 I saw this box when it first came out, but didn’t think I needed it then. A couple weeks later I saw a post on reddit’s Asianbeauty subreddit thread that showed the contents of this box. Like a two year old child, I was suckered in by all the cute and bright colors. It went out of stock, which devastated me, but then I saw it again for sale. I knew if I didn’t buy it that second, that I would regret it forever, so I did the deed and bought it. It again is out of stock for the time being, but if you guys really want it, stalk Memebox. Because that’s what I did. :D Also, look for a coupon when ordering this. That’s what I did, so my total was ONLY $30.60. haha. Four dollars difference isn’t THAT much, but just think, you can buy 4 more sheet masks for that amount!
