Let It Glow Mask Kit source: Target
1. Package Melt Me Softly Nose Strip thoughts: Iâm not sure what this product is suppose to do but I assume it would some how melt my blackheads. Everything on the package was in korean so it was hard to tell what it is suppose to do. It literally felt like a mask for my nose, there was a lot of liquid in the packet as well. The instructions on the box tells me to cleanse my face and apply the patch; remove after 10-20 min and follow with usual skincare routine. The patch itself was kind of cooling and over time I did get a hint of like a peppermint kind of scent. My nose also became really red afterwards. Iâm not sure how I really feel about this product, since Iâm not sure what itâs suppose to do. Nonetheless Iâm not a big fan of nose products hence I would not gravitate to purchase this regardless. rating: ~
2. Make P:rem Comfort Air Sheet Mask thoughts: This has always been on my list of to-try, and finally I have. My first impression was that the thickness and texture is very similar to The Face Shopâs The Solution line mask sheets. This also contained quite a bit of serum/liquid which was nice. I really enjoyed the mask and I felt like my face became more radiant. I do want to note that I havenât used a mask sheet in a long time. I usually try to use one at least once a month but I have been quite lazy. I should probably get back to using one at least once a week as I do see a difference in my complexion. rating: ****
3. Package Every Day Bouncy Sheet Mask thoughts: This was also a mask that was very similar to The Face Shopâs The Solution line. I love the hydration it provided. My skin did become more bouncy, but that tends to happen everytime I use a face mask. Nothing too special with this mask. rating: **
4. Wish Formula Panda Eye Mask thoughts: The scent of this was very strong and herbally. Something that caught me off guard. These werenât bad as they were hydrating and I also noticed that my eye area was a little tighter. However, because of the scent Iâm not a big fan. rating: **
5. Common Labs Vitamin C Real Jel Mask thoughts: This was a two part kind of mask. The first step which had an exfoliating pad was okay, I still prefer the Neogen peeling pads. The mask for this was really nice though. It easily fit to the skin, since the sheet was thin. There was also a lot of product in the package. You do have to spread the gel around after you place the mask sheet on. Overall, the experience of this mask felt like I was at a spa. rating: ***
6. The Face Shop Herb Day Cleansing Tissue (70 sheets) source: The Face Shop thoughts: If you follow me then youâll know that I absolutely love these as they are gentle and removes make-up quite well. raitng: *HOLY GRAIL*
7. Itâs Demo Pokemon Love Hand Cream (20g) source: Itâs Demo (Japan) thoughts: This hand cream was really nice, and not to mention how cute is the packaging. I really like the texture of this cream, as it absobed quickly but was not runny at all and very light. This has a nice scent to it, but I canât pinpoint what exactly the scent is. I did get this on sale when I was in Japan for about $3CAD. The texture of this also reminds me of this Shiseido hand cream that I bought a long time ago. rating: ****
8. COSRX Galactomyces Alcohol-Free Toner (150ml / 5.07oz) source: Wishtrend thoughts: I really liked the Centella toner, so I thought I would give this one a try; also because galactomyces is suppose to help lighten scars. I wasnât a big fan of the essence, and turns out Iâm also not a big fan of this toner. I didnât notice any difference when I used this toner, whereas when I used the centella toner I did see some difference. Overall, itâs a decent toner but not something I would get again. I do have one more in my stash because I purchased 2 during the Black Friday sale. This took me about 2.5 months to finish. rating: **
9. epic blend Coconut Coffee Scrub source: My Locality Box thoughts: This was a really good product. After using it my skin would feel soft, smooth, hydrated, and lightly scented with coffee. My whole bathroom would smell like coffee grounds when I use this. It is a little messy, aside from that this was an amazing product. rating: **
10. Etude House Soon Jung pH 6.5 Whip Cleanser (70ml / 2.36oz) source: YesStyle thoughts: I feel like this had a plastic kind of scent to it. Iâm starting to feel/ notice that a lot of the foam ones tend to have some kind of plastic smell. I do like this cleanser as it didnât break me out and also has a low pH. This is also very affordable, about $10CAD and $18CAD for the larger size, and compact for travelling. The only thing that I donât like about this is the pump. Everytime I use this the first pump would be either watery or sprays everywhere. Itâs not a consistant pump compared to the klairs one. I do have other foam cleansers to try but they are at the higher price point. rating: ***
11. Neogen Real Cicac Pad (150ml / 5.07oz) source: Olive Young (S.Korea) thoughts: I wanted to try this when I first heard about it, and when I saw it on sale at Olive Young I decided to grab it. It was on sale for 19,900 won I think, not sure how much regular price was though. These were pretty good. These are llike a 2-in-1, as they act as a toner and essence. rating: ***
12. Mizon Multi Function Formula Snail Repair Eye Cream (25ml / 0.84oz) source: YesStyle thoughts: I actually took 4 months to finish this eye cream. It does have less product compared to the belif one. The consistency of this was a lot more fluid, and closer to a lotion than a cream. I didnât notice any difference to my eyes aside from it providing hydration. The product is suppose to brighten and provide wrinkle care, but I didnât see any of that. rating: **
13. Illume Wanderlust Scented Soy Candle (8.8oz 250g) source: Indigo thoughts: The scent of this candle was amazing and by far my favourite scent and candle ever! I wished I grabbed more of these when I saw it for an even greater discount. It has a nice citrus scent to it. I canât remember the exact notes in this candle but even when itâs not lit I can smell the scent from a short distance. rating: ****
