Mask Monday: TonyMoly Nourishing I'm Honey Mask Sheet

 TonyMoly has to be one of my favorite K-beauty brands. Not only because most of their products are super cute, but also because the have great quality for a reasonable price. 

Their facemasks are just great! You can defo see a difference when you use them even on the next day. After a couple of stressfu and super busy weeks, I decided to use this Nourishing I'm Honey Mask Sheet that I received back in June as a part of my bday pressies to treat my skin.

As the name says, it contains Honey that helps nourish tired skin, leaving your skin hydrated, soft and with a healthy glow. This masks come with a lot of product, it is watery but slightly thick and it absorbs quickly.

It has a very sublte but nice honey scent, which is perfect if you're not a fan of strong scents.

I've always had a good experience with TonyMoly masks in general, they are gentle and never irritate my sensitive skin.

Tired teacher face but fresh skin after the mask.☆ LOL

I feel like this was a very short Mask Monday but still hope you find it helpful. Let me know if you've used TonyMoly masks or other products. I'd love to know!

See you next time~ ♡

Mask Monday: Hayan K-Beauty Cherry Essense Mask Sheet 🍒

Two Mask Mondays in a month~ that doesn't happen too often! Hehe.

Today I wanna show you a very cute facemask from Hayan K-Beauty Skincare. Which is a mexican brand, made in Korea. It is my first time trying one of their products and it was thanks to my bestie Ceci that I knew about it cuz, she was the one who gave me this mask. We all know how much I love korean skincare.

It is the Cherry Essense Mask Sheet 🍒 with cherry essense that works as an anti-aging because of the antioxidants, it also contains vitamin A that improves the cell production for a healthy skin.

The packaging of this mask is super cute with bright colors and the smell is just delicious! It reminds me of Tutsi Pops. I could eat it! Hehe.

Honestly, the mask works really well. It comes with a lot of serum and it absorbs quickly leaving your skin super soft and bright, even on the next day. From what I read, the sheet is made of TENCEL fabric, which makes it very soft and ecofriendly. Plus, the size of the mask isn't as big as other korean mask, that's a big yay for me.

On their website you can find many more skin care products with cute packaging and they are actually pretty affordable! I'll defo buy more products in the future!

💋 Unicorn Glow Creamy Velvet Lip | Review & Swatches |

 

I recieved this lippie back in December as a gift from my bestie, Ceci and I've been wearing it often since that day. By often I mean, whenever I know I won't be wearing a mask all day long. It is from Unicorn Glow and, even tho I've seen their products, it is my first time trying them.

Unicorn Glow is a cruelty free makeup brand made in Korea and designed in New York. Checking their instagram, I found many cute and colorful products. I liked their whole "Discover your Inner Unicorn" concept. You can find their products at WalMart and Amazon.

The Creamy Velvet Lip  I recieved is in the color "01 Matte Caramel" and its a soft but beautiful peachy, nude shade, which were my favorites for a long, long time before the pandemic.

The presentation of this product is simple yet cute with the lip color on the bottle and cute silver iridescent stars on the white lid. 

 The applicator's shape makes it easy to apply the product, it kinda reminds me of the  Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink in a shorter version. They both have the small loop in the middle.

Like I said, more than a caramel, it is like a peachy color that actually smells like peach! It's just so good!! It applies smoothly and the layers are thin enough to build up the color to your liking cuz even tho it is pigmented, it doesn't apply evenly. It dries kinda fast without feeling sticky or patchy and it gives your lips a soft, velvety finish.

Now I'm curious to try more products from this brand. I'm not sure what the price range is because I didn't buy this one myself but I'll defo check next time I go to walmart. I miss buying makeup!! 😭

Have you tried products from Unicorn Glow?? Let me know! 🦄

Mask Monday: Naisture Sheet Masks

Long time no Mask Monday! Today I wanna share some Korean sheet masks I found in a Canadian Dollar store, the brand is called Naisture and it's my first time seeing them and trying their products.

Naisture comes from the words: Natural + Moisture= Naisture.

I could only find these 2 types but they did have a big variety of masks for different purposes. Checking their instagram account, they have many more different lines of sheet masks. 

I kept 2 and gave the other 2 to my bestie because, we love trying new facemasks.

The ones I tried were:

Naisture Just in 15 Min Sheet Mask with Dragon Fruit

This one has anti-aging and anti-oxidant benefits to improve elasticity. It claims to give you a hydrated, firm and glowing skin.

I'm not too familiar with dragon fruit so I don't really know the smell of it but, this mask smells kinda sweet and delicious. It reminds me of something but, I'm not too sure what. (Not dragon fruit tho...)

This may not be too important but I loved the way the directions were presented on this particular mask. The little pics and the "tip" are just too cute!

Another random thing I noticed is that the sheet mask came with a pattern! LOL. It was still made out of that cotton material thing (I think it's cotton?) but it had details to it. It was nice.

It says it doesn't contain sulfates, silicones or parabens (had to google that last one). Even tho the formula is watery I found it slightly thick but not sticky at all. It absobed into my skin nicely.

After using this mask, my skin felt hydrated and soft and I woke up to a glowy looking skin.

15 Minutes Mask Pack in Lovely Strawberry

I think this one was the one I was more excited about. It also has a watery formula, not thick or sticky. It absobs quickly and the skin feels fresh and hydrated after using it. Its main purpose is oil control, so it's perfect for oily to combination skin.

The only thing I didn't like was the fact that it doesn't smell like strawberries!! It actually has no scent at all~~~~~

I do want to mention both masks were not as big as other korean masks I've tried, which is nice! Both of them were gentle to my skin and even tho they are not the best ones I've ever tried, I liked them. I think they do the job for a very good price. they are great when you want to pamper yourself on a budget. 

I kinda want to try the others they have. 

I'll leave the link to their website in case you wanna check it out: naisture.com

Dr. Jart+ Premium | BB Beauty Balm |

This mini BB cream is also a part of the Sephora Beauty CLUB along with the Cicapair cream. It comes with 5ml.

It's supposed to be a multi-action skincare + make-up + sunscreen (SPF 45). It is basically described as a multi-function product.

It's perfect for:

♡ Dryness

♡ Redness

♡ Lack of luminosity / uneven texture

♡ Acne / blemishes

♡ Loss of firmness / elasticity

According to the website, it is great for all skin types too.

The formula is super lightweight, and just like the cicapair, it has a slight herbal scent mixed with sunscreen. 

The shade I have (because the box came with it) is "01 Light- Medium" but I don't think it's right for my skin tone. It gets better as the product sets on the skin tho.

It has a light to medium coverage, I've tried other BB creams that have better coverage but, it does even your skin tone, helps with redness and gives a nice, healthy glow to your face. 

Skin without VS with BB cream. I didn't apply any concealer to see how much it covers. It does make a difference.

But even after applying it, I could still see blemishes

Durability was great tho, my skin looked great at the end of the day, even if I wore a mask at some point. 

Even tho it is not a bad product, I've tried better. I don't think this would be my choice, especially because it isn't exactly cheap. 

I'll continue using it cuz I don't want to waste it, maybe along with concealer or in a good skin day. Hehe.

I thought I should include a pic of the complete look that day because, I rarely do my makeup these days, hehe. X

Dr. Jart | Cicapair Derma Green Solution Tiger Grass Cream |

I've heard so many great things about Dr. Jart that I was very excited to finally try some of their products.

A couple of months ago (around November I think?) I bought the Sephora Beauty CLUB feat. 3 products from this Korean brand but I starting testing them this year.

The products in this box are: The Cicapair Derma Green Solution, Ceramidin Cream (which I'm also trying atm) and the Dr. Jart Premium BB Multi Action Skincare + Makeup.

Today we're going to focus on the Cicapair Derma Green Solution which is a color correcting cream. This one is a sample size with 10ml, it has SPF30 and other ingredients like centella asiatica and leaf water.

I was surprised to see the cream is actually green! Which makes sense because one of it's purpouses is to help with redness on the skin. The smell is a very strong herbal scent that goes away ones it sets on the skin.

You're supposed to apply this cream after your skin care, it'll work as sunscreen and as a good base. You have to warm the product with your fingers before applying on the skin, and then rub it gently to cover the whole face. It does look greenish at the beggining but the color changes to match your skin tone almost right away. I was impressed.

It is made for all skin types.

To actually see how it works, I've been using it as my only makeup, along with some concealer on my pimples and dark circles because my skin hasn't been the greatest lately. But I do think you can use it alone on good skin days. Even tho it is not a full coverage thing, it evens out your complexion and gives a very nice and natural glow to the skin. Plus, it doesn't feel thick or sticky.

I lasts througout the day, which is great.

Before: My skin with just skincare.
After: My face after using the Cicapair cream. It definitely looks more even.

My finished makeup using only the Cicapair cream and some concealer.

I really like this product and I'd love to buy a bigger version when I run out of it. Even tho I've been using it for a while, I still have a lot of product. A little goes a long way. It's like, a magic cream! Haha. Defo recommend it if you have the chance to try it. 

Now I kinda want to try more products from this brand.

Mask Monday: DERMAL Collagen Essence Mask

"Skin confidence with DERMAL makes you beautiful and healthy"

These masks were the first ones I tried when I was starting to get into the whole K-beauty world. They have a special place in my heart, hehe.

I believe there are older posts where I mention them but, yeah. I was pretty much talking about how to use sheet masks...

Dermal is a Korean brand that focuses on facemasks and skincare products using "effective and safe" ingredients to help balance the ph and improve your skin.

Even tho they are Korean, each mask has the mask target in english, making it easy for you to choose, depending on what you're looking for or what your skin needs. They have a large variety! I've tried some of them but, defo not all. 

What I like the most about them is that they are made for all skin types and are gentle to my super sensitive skin. They never give me any reaction! And my skin looks and feels extra hydrated after using them.

Today, I'm only going to focus on the 3 I currently have:

Green Tea Collagen Mask: (Firming, moisturizing and health)

It helps to protect the skin. Green Tea extract works as an anti-oxidant and helps to protect skin from environmental damage. It leaves your skin feeling soft, refreshed, hydrated and healthy looking.

Apricot Collagen Mask: (Moisturizing, firming and brightening)

Apricot Extract is good for sensitive, dry and irritated skin. It contains vitamin A & C. It gives you hydration and keeps the skin moist and elastic.

Bamboo Collagen Mask: (Moisturizing, refining and firming)

Bamboo extract protects the skin and gives dry skin the moisture it needs. This mask also contains vitamin E and collagen.

They are all super moisturizing, the formula is not sticky at all and they scent is very subtle. To me they all smell the same tho~~~ Idk, maybe it's just me.

I think I've mentioned it before but, most Korean sheet masks tend to be super big! Dunno why! But still, they do the job.

"You're making me blush!" | My latest blushes |

Hi there dollies!
Blushes are something I've been loving for some time now. I can't get enough of them! And even tho I usually go for pinks and peachy shades, I like to experiment with other colors from time to time too.

Today I'm gonna show you the latest addition to my blush family. Hehe.

I'm gonna start with the oldest, and they are from L.O.C.K Color. This is a brand developed by Korean makeup artists. I didn't really know much about it until its fun and cute packaging caught my eye.
I know that Korean makeup usually has good quality So I decided to give them a try.

I got 2 of their cushion blushes out of a collection of 4. It is actually my first time trying cushion blushes and even tho I messed up applying too much product the first time, I've been loving them. The application is easy once you get a hold of it and it has a very natural and fresh finish.

The first one is in number 1: Coral pink.
As the name says it, it is coral shade with a pink undertone. It is very bright and it adds the perfect pop of color to my cheeks.

The next one is number 2: Bronze Rose, which is a darker shade. It makes me feel a little tanned whenever I use it! (if that's even possible considering I'm on the pale side...)

They don't have a matte finish or shimmer, they just look like a fresh, natural blush. I usually like to apply some highlighter on top to kinda seal the color and make it stay in for longer and of course, to add some glow to it.

Durability wise they do last for a long time, pigmentation is also really good and their packaging is just lovely. I love the details such as how the girl's cheeks change color according to the shade of the blush or the pretty sponge to apply the product.

I still want to get the other two shades, I remember one was a lilac shade...I'm curious!!

The next one is kind of a dupe for the Too Faced Sweethearts Perfect Blush.
This one's called Blushing Hearts Triple Baked Blusher. It's a lot cheaper, quality is really good and,  the presentation is as pretty.

This one comes with 3 different shades of pink: A pastel pink, pale pink and a slightly peachy pink. All of them with a shimmery finish.
It is pigmented and lasts for a long time, giving my cheeks a nice glow and blushed effect.

The last one is from Yoyoso and it's the first makeup product I try from all the cute stuff they have. It's the Vitality Floral Beauty Art Blush Powder Blusher (longest name ever) in pink.
It kinda reminds me of the TonyMoly Crystal blusher. They are both very subtle when it comes to pigmentation but, they do the job. I think most Korean blushes are like that anyway.

It comes with 2 different shades of pink, both matte.
Even tho the presentation is very simple and clean but, the details the pressed powder has makes it super pretty and girly.
I believe they had other 2 shades. I only remember an orange one that looked pretty good too.
I have to say I liked this product! It makes me want to try other products Yoyoso has to offer.

There you go, some of the "new" makeup I've been trying, liking and using lately. Let me know if you're interested in seeing more of the latest products I have.
