Nature Republic: Moroco Ghassoul Pore Pack

I had totally forgotten that I purchased this

A week or two ago I noticed that my pores were extra big.. Naturally I have big pores especially on my cheeks they're quite noticeable. Since the weather has been warming up my pores have been looking extra big and extra oily which SUCKS! 

I was looking at my beauty shelf because I was looking for a Skin Food pack mask but I found an unopened pack mask by Nature Republic that I forgot about and never opened, plus it was clay!

Moroccan Ghassoul (or Rhassoul) clay is a mineral rich clay that absorbs sebum, reduces redness, improves skin clarity and elasticity and has extractive abilities that remove impurities, unblocks pores and blackheads. Some people make their own masks and apply it to their hair and skin but personally I don't have the patience to make a clay mask plus I think I would mess it up. I don't think this Nature Republic mask can be used on your hair though.. lol.

The Face Shop - Real Nature Mask Mung Bean

I guess technically its THEFACESHOP ?

I can't remember if this was one of the masks that Steve's mom bought me or one of the ones I got in Hawaii.. none the less I'm guessing that it was less than $3 lol.

What it does: A cleansing/purifying mask sheet containing mung bean extract. effective in purifying pores for a clean and smooth texture.

I use sheet masks twice a week so I can tell which ones are good and which ones are bad. This one was alright, not good not bad just neutral. The Face Shop usually makes ok sheet masks, since I know I can get better quality ones from other brands I probably wouldn't buy from them unless the essence inside was super amazing or cheaper than it is now but the sheet itself is a different story..

 My face looks like its literally melting

For some reason the hole for where your mouth goes is super big, 

WHY? WHOSE FACE IS LIKE THIS!?

I guess some people have extra big mouths/lips lol. The essence itself is nice and gentle. It smells good and doesn't leave a residue on my face. My only complaint is the quality of the actual sheet, it really needs to be changed, its the same for most of the sheet masks The Face Shop produces.

It doesn't adhere to the skin well, I had to push on my face every now and then to make sure it is sticking to my face. So I'm probably not going to repurchase based on the quality of the sheet, the formula of the essence is good though my skin feels quite smooth.

So I'm doing a little format change on the products I review. Since most of my previous review posts have the "where can you purchase this product" section I'm getting rid of that. I figured by now you can figure out where I usually purchase these products so I don't really need to tell you anymore (ebay, sasa, amazon) plus I haven't been posting much lately so yeah its quicker for me to write a post that way.

Nature Republic: Truffle [EX] Wrinkle Sleeping Mask

Finally got around to using this product!

I bought this product in Hawaii back in December on a whim, I was thinking that I should start using some anti-aging products since I am getting older T_T (I'm 23 LOL) I wanted to start using anti-aging products earlier since prevention is key :P and I don't want to wait till I develop deep lines and wrinkles when I start, I'm sure most people don't.

Nutrient supply and wrinkle improvement sleeping mask

What Do I Think Of This Product?

This is the last step in your skincare routine it says on the box to avoid the eye area but I put it there anyways lol. If you put on too much you will wake up oily but if you put on the appropriate amount your skin will feel really smooth and your skin will look really smooth when you wake up.

 

Its very rich, thick and very creamy

It's also slightly oily when you first put it on so a little really does go a long way so make sure you rub it in real good so your skin can absorb it really well. It also has a really light mushroomy/earthy smell to it... lol its a little difficult to explain but its a very subtle scent.

So I would buy this again, as far as I can remember this product was less than $15 but I really can't remember but it was a really decent price.

Where Can You Get This Product?

So apparently NO WHERE SELLS THIS as far as I know >.< at least I can't find it anywhere I usually shop at online. If anyone actually knows where to get this comment below!

Etude House: Red Ginseng Sheet Mask

Hoho! Have not posted anything in almost a week? sorry about that!
I've been quite busy this past week which I will post about later :P
But for now I'm going to tell you about Etude House's Red Ginseng Sheet Mask!

Smells like sticks! lol

It seems to me that the Etude House sheet masks are really hit or miss. I've tried some before that weren't so hydrating and the mask would just dry out after 5 minutes and leave a really strange residue on my face, I don't know... the surface of my skin would have some sort of resistance to it instead of being smooth and the next day my skin would be really oily >.< it could be just me though.. not everyone has the same skin.

BUT! this one didn't do that to my skin. According to Sasa:

Etude House Red Ginseng Mask Sheet, ingredients extracted from 6-year-old red ginseng, restores skin strength after exposing to harmful radicals including stress, pollution, debris and weather. It helps to maintain firmness and smoothness and provides nourishment needed to slow down aging process.

 Adhered to my skin quite well

This mask didn't dry out after 5 minutes of applying it on and it did smell like sticks lol but it wasn't a bad smell and its really subtle anyways so its hardly noticeable unless you are super sensitive to perfumes and scents.

What Do I Think Of This Product?

No residue this time

 My skin felt really smooth and moisturized after using the product. In terms of actually providing some nutrients... I can't say that much has changed, whenever I do use sheet masks my skin gets super moisturized anyways because its getting soaked into the skin, at least it didn't leave a residue nor did it make my skin oily.

Where Can You Buy This Product?

Currently Sasa says its currently out of stock but when you look at the whole Etude House inventory list they have its not listed there so I'm sure they have stopped selling this product.

You can get it on Ebay about 3 for $7 and up

This product is also available on Amazon but there's only one seller and its $3.38 + $4.49 for shipping >.< and I'm pretty sure its only one sheet mask since it doesn't say how many you will get.

Laneige Firming Sleeping Pack

Post by Amanda

I bought this sleeping pack while I was in Korea in August for around $20 at the Lotte Duty Free.
I had a choice between the water sleeping pack and the firming one.
Since I know I can get the sleeping water pack on Sasa I chose the firming one.
