Mask Monday: LULULUN Balance Moisture Face Mask

Hello dollies! Today we have Japanese facemasks from LULULUN. It is my first time trying them and it is one of the 3 packages I recieve from this brand. Apparently these are one of the best-selling masks in Japan and yeah, I've read and seen many good comments about them. I'm happy to finally try them.

The LULULUN Balance Moisture Face Mask comes in pack of 7 sheet masks, perfect for a week worth of masks. I just love it when they sell them like this. Plus, the presentation is super cute.

This one claims to nourish dry skin, balancing moisture levels and apparenty, each package contains the equivalent of 4 bottles of serum with ingredients like: Hyaluronic Acid, acacia honey, rice ceramide and gingseng root.

It is free from artificial colors and mineral oils. They have a very subtle scent and the formula is not sticky at all, which is really nice. It absorbs really fast leaving my skin soft, hydrated and with a healthy glow.


Something I've noticed is that Japanese sheet masks are smaller than the Korean ones which makes them a lot easier and more comfortable to use. 


I've been really liking these masks and I can't wait to try the others!

DHC Lip Cream Conditioning Lip Balm


 It is no secret a love a good lip balm to help my forever chapped and dry lips. I've been trying different ones and so far, the one from Burt's Bees is on my top favorites. 

I've read so many good comments about the DHC Lip Cream Conditioning Lip Balm so, I was really excited to finally get the chance to try it. I have to say that it is true what they say, it is one great lip cream. It's even an awards winning product in Japan.



It applies smoothly and hydrates the lips immediately, giving them a nice glossy look without feeling thick or sticky. The moisture lasts for a long time without the need to reapply. It's a good base to wear before your lipstick.

It conatins Lanolin Oil, beeswax and olive fruit oils, among others, which help to soothe the lips and also work as antioxidants.

I've been using it everyday for over a month as my day time lip balm along with the Burt's Bees at night and my lips defo look and feel better.

November is J-Beauty Month!

Hello you guys! I'm super excited because back in September a recieved a very special package from my friend Tomi with lots of Japanese goodies (you know how much I love Japan), including skincare products and makeup. 

I started trying the products (and eating the candy) almost as soon as I opened the package, but then October came and I wanted to focus on mostly Halloween posts. So I decided to dedicate November to share all those products with you. 

I've tried a few Japanese skincare products before but it is officially my first time trying their makeup brands and products. So yeah, I can say I'm discovering the Japanese makeup world and, loving it! It feels so good to finally try some things I always wanted to but only saw them on youtube, hehe.

Once again, thanks Tomi for all the goodies and yummies! I'm still not over it, haha.

Let me know if you'd like me to blog about the anime stuff and candies too.

Mask Monday: Attack on Titan Kyojin Face Pack | #Beruani


I am super duper excited to share these with you guys cuz I wanted to try them since they came out in Japan long time ago. I want to thank my friend Tomi for sending them. I think they are fun masks to try this month.

You know I love SNK and even tho, titans are no good, these two are defo my favorites. It’s funny how my opinion about them changed as the story went on.

Ok! Where to begin?! I find the presentation and packaging worth mentioning because it has all the SNK vibes going on. It comes with two mask feat. The Colossal Titan and The Female Titan. It’d be fun to try with a significant other. You know, titan power couple, haha.

Once you unfold the package you’ll find information about both of the titans and the story of the show along with some cool pics from the manga. I’ll keep this as a poster thingy, it’s too cool and it’s licensed.




So, both masks have the actual faces of the titans, but aside from the cool looks, they also contain good ingedients such as glycerol, hydrolized collagen and vitamin C to help the skin. It's a win - win thing!

Description: "Refresh your kin and mind. A facepack printed with pattern of The Colossus Titan's face and The Female's titan face, have fun while you attent to your beauty. Three beauty ingredients moistre your skin, leaving it firm and lustrous. Lavender fragrance brings comfort to your body and mind."

As mentioned, they both have a lavender scent and a slightly oily and sticky formula. You can defo feel a very soft and hydrated skin after using them tho. Even a day later, you can still see a healthy glow.

And now, let's just check the masks cuz they are very well made. They look better than costumes! Hehe.

Yes, I saved them after using to take pics...



Colossal Titan


"A mysterious Titan which is estimated to be 60 meters tall, appeared at Shiganshina District and Trost District. He smashed wall Maria, the barrier of humanity and this has tirggered Titans invation. The Colossus titan appeared again in front of Eren and the trainers on their graduation day of the 104th Training Corps. With his thirst for revenge, Eren confronted it. However as happened 5 year ago, the Colossus Titan suddenly disappeared after destroying the gate of the wall, leaving behind nothing but countless of titans."

Not my most flattering, but the mask is worth it.

Female Titan

"This beautiful Titan appeared in front of the Survey Corps during the 57th expedition beyond the walls. It is rare to have a female titan since most titans have male bodies. Being aware of human tactics she defeated a squad leader, Ness. Due to the trap laid by the female titan, the senior soldiers were killed one after another in front of Eren. Even Eren who became a titan was defeated and kidnapped by the Female Titan. It was the strongest human soldiers, Levi and Mikasa who rescued Eren"

All in all, and ignoring that fact that I’m a fan, I really liked these masks. The quality is really good and you do see results after using them. Something I also have to mention is that they were not as big as other sheet masks, I liked that. 

My skin after using the masks.

Sadly, I don’t know when I’ll be able to use them again, but I highly suggest you get them if you have the chance. They are fun to use!
