Pond's | Firming Serum Sheet Mask Review

Hello friends!
Following the Faith in Face sheet masks (which you can read about here), the next set of face masks in focus would be the sheet masks by Pond's. 

Recently, Pond's has released a sheet mask line dubbed as '15-minute miracle serum masks', emphasizing the '30x serum intensity' of the Pond’s Age Miracle Double Action Serum which is packed in every sheet mask (which in simpler terms means that these masks contain up to a 30-time use of this serum in one mask application compared to other regular face serums from the brand)

The serum in these masks is said to be 'lightweight and water-based' which enables it to be 'quickly absorbed by your skin without clogging up pores' and also works in 'countering dark spots and skin discoloration'. Because of its texture, this serum is lighter to the skin compared to those of moisturizers. Water-based serums are even said to be one of the best options for people with oily skin type as it can hydrate your face better without having to feel greasy after application. Active ingredients which include hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, collagen, and other more skin-renewing antioxidants are the main guys in letting you bring out that glowy skin. Based on the packaging, these masks are also made in Korea. 

There are 3 variants of the sheet masks which include: Wrinkle Correcting (Red), Firming (Purple), and Skin Brightening (Pink).

Faith in Face | Missing Pore Hydrogel Mask Review

Hello hello everyone!
This time, I will be reviewing the Missing Pore Hydrogel Mask by Faith in Face. After trying out two other variants of their hydrogel masks, I'm part excited and part nervous about trying out this last one I have from the stash. I guess excited and nervous are the main feels because I'm expecting to have a different experience from the previous two that I've already tried. What I'm excited about in this variant is also that it focuses on Pore Tightening (including Sebum Control and Pore Care as stated on the pack) which is one of the main things I look for when buying my face masks (esp. with my efforts in trying to balance my Combination skin type 😥).

Human Nature Mini Haul + Mini First Impressions

(initially published on previous blog on December 27, 2016)

Hello World! 
How has your holidays been so far? There's only around a week left before all formal things such as school and some works will be resuming in January next year. It supposedly should sound like a long time, but looking at the dates on my desk calendar makes me feel a little bit excited and nervous at the same time while waiting for 2017. 

Anyway, in line with the season of Christmas and giving, I went on another mini haul, and this time, it's from Human Nature. A couple of weeks before the 25th, my family and I visited the Human Nature branch in A.S. Fortuna to  purchase a couple of products for gifts and also for our own personal use.

Faith in Face | Light Effect Hydrogel Mask Review

Hey everyone!
This is the first post for my #MaskOfTheWeek series. In the previous upload, I mentioned that I will be starting on a certain series of posts featuring reviews on face masks that I am looking forward to trying. I've had a couple of masks from a few recent purchases, but I guess I haven't really found the perfect timing to add them to my skincare routine (which is why I'm getting a lot hopeful that this will make me be motivated in using them on a regular basis). I was also thinking about how I should go over with this whole thing; so I will be prioritizing the expiry dates (if there are urgent ones which are calling to be used haha), then I guess it's all going to be based on either the interest factor, the collection by brand, or just how I'm feeling that day. For my starters, I chose the Faith in Face masks that I purchased during the holidays last year since I was so excited to finally see them on shelves after coming across them on a few k-beauty sites a couple of years ago.
