Thoughts

I like this clay mask I do believe my skin has become a little clearer since I mask 5x a week though I mix it up. I like the feel and how easy it is to remove. I rate this 4/5.

Come's out in a beautiful mousse texture. (I like using my Annie's Way spatula to apply masks. )

It dries rather nicely, and is rather easy to rinse off compared to some other's where you feel like you need a chisel.

As for pores, I have found nothing that shrinks pores though I do believe my skin has become a little clearer since I mask 5x a week though I mix it up.

Thoughts

It doesn't work miracles, but most definitely helps with the dry spots I get from winter. I believe I like it best as a moisturizer for the body it has a light perfume smell and feels good when I put it on. I did a decent job raising the oil and moisture level of your skin too I would give it 4/5.

Bio-Essence: Deep Exfoliating Gel

           I got this good from YesStyle's YesStyle Beauty - Basics+ Beauty Sample Set. http://www.yesstyle.com/en/info.html/pid.1039396289  Still being a newbie to the world of skin care I knew nothing about this brand. So I decided to research it a bit, and while not highly reviewed it did come recommended. "Is this to be my Holy Grail?", I wonder to myself. Sadly it is not to be.

          Fairly easy to use it is an ordinary gel cleanser. That "exfoliates" your skin, gently massage it into your damp skin for several minutes (on average most products recommend somewhere between 2-5).

English Ingredient List- Yay!

           I have sensitive acne prone skin which was not pleased by this product. Even though it has ingredients such as tea tree oil, ginseng root extract, royal jelly and more. My skin went ick!

      I had quite a few problems with this product. Firstly, the exfoliating power is terrible in that little glop I have on my finger there was only one little exfoliating well for lack of a better term thing-a-ma-jig. It also didn't leave my skin feeling as clean as Skinfood's Egg White cleanser or as oil free as Etude House's AC Clinic cleanser. Overall,  the final rating is 2/5...

Daiso Japan Natural Pack Charcoal Peel Off Mask

Daiso Japan Natural Pack Charcoal Peel Off Mask

What interested me in this product was that its suppose to be great for clear skin and deeply cleansing your pores. The product description on the oh so lovely Amazon is"Fomulated with the natural ingredients from Oak trees, it remover oils and all dirt and deeply clean the pore, leaving your skin cleaner with less visible pores."Which I have large and clogged pores on my nose which I do not like at all.So with my fingers crossed I bought some for only $6.25.

Using this product can be a bit of a pain.After washing your face and using toner you apply to your face avoiding  the eye and lips.You let it dry and peel it off which always take some time and is the most bothersome step. It does a pretty nice job my skin felt softer (it also removed all the little fine hairs your face has)Though my pores are still clogged on my nose (agh..). So that part didn't quite work.

Overall my rating is 4/5 for this product.

TONY MOLY: Panda Dream; So Cool Eye Stick

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 2015

Panda's Dream So Cool Eye Stick

Super Cute Packaging

What first attracted me to this eye stick was how freakishly cute it is. Which is something that Korean beauty products especially Tony Moly embraces. It's described as a "stick-type eye serum that moisturizes and brighten the delicate skin around the eye area. And it helps smooth the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Cool and refresh tired and puffy eyes!"-Amazon So for the low price of $9.90 I bought some

Outside the Box

Using this product is fairly simple.All you do is rub the stick to each eye area from inside to out .(It doesn't specify where but I use it under my eyes, I got some on the lids one time and I was not pleased.) Then use your fingertips to gently tap into the skin. I apply when ever I need a pick up for my tired eyes. Its super portable and easy to use!

See looks a bit like a glue stick.

Now for does it actually work segment of the review. It provides a nice cooling sensation for about 10 seconds, which I loved. The moisturizing part was a bit disappointing it wasn't quite as good as other eye products I use. However it was fine for a quick pick me up for my eyes. I also didn't notice any visible difference on brighter skin or a decrease to my eye bags. Overall my rating is 3/5 for this product.

Bonus! Ingredients and instructions in English that doesn't happen very often with Korean products.
