Face [Sheet] Masks!

Hello again!

Every once in a while it's nice to pamper the skin. What better than face sheet masks?

These are a bit different from your average face mask. Sheet masks are soaked in serum or "essence" ready to be left on the face for amazing looking skin after!

There are many different types of treatments. I tend to like the brightening/whitening/moisturizing ones!

Some notable ones I've tried include

Milk Moisture Mask

I purchased this at the H Mart in Mira Mesa for 99 cents! While this did not whiten my skin like I expected it to because I saw it had milk (and milk contains lactic acid), it did not whiten at all. Maybe the lactic acid concentrations were really diluted? However, this did leave my skin feeling super soft and hydrated!

Love and Beauty Papaya Brightening Mask by Forever 21

Yep, I typed it! Forever 21 skin care!? Hahaha imagine that! Love and beauty is a cosmetics/beauty sold through Forever 21 and I must say their products aren't too shabby. Forever 21 is a Korean company, as is their Love and Beauty line, so I'm not surprised they'd do well in this department. As for the results, my skin looked two shades lighter. Wowow! And for $1?! Definitely repurchasing more of these!

My Beauty Diaries Alpha Arbutin

You've probably heard of this mask. This contains A-Arbutin for instant whitening. I wouldn't say this gives an obvious whitening effect, but I can tell my skin becomes brighter and more awake-looking!

My Beauty Diaries Bulgarian Rose

This is pretty similar to the A-Arbutin in terms of whitening and moisturizing. However, the A-Arbutin results are more obvious!

Look at my collection! I still haven't often around to using them all n__n".

I was reading some reviews on the more expensive ones that I wish I could afford like Sulwhasoo and Shiseido! The whitening results on those look impressive!

Product Rave: Crystal Collagen Eye Mask

Let's face it: tired eyes aren't cute no matter how pretty you are. Fresh eyes can boost your confidence as well as make you look young. This product gave me jaw-dropping results. The main ingredient, collagen, plumps the skin area leaving it looking younger and more attractive.

You don't have to burn a hole in your wallet either! I purchased 15 packets for $7 on eBay!

I've tried the Garnier Roller Ball, Hard Candy's Eye'M tired eye Depuffer, cucumbers and cold spoons and it doesn't compare to this! (Let me know if you want a more detailed testimony on any of those.)

I know this stuff works because I went to sleep at 4am once with this on and the next morning I look well-rested! As if i slept for ten hours! Definitely repurchasing! And you should too!

What are some things you do to preserve your youth?

Tinted Lip Balms Post!

Not a fan of lip stick? Me neither! I don't find them to be moisturizing (the Revlon Lip Butters are no exception weh).

There's lots to choose so keep reading to see which ones I've tried and find one that suits you!

Note: I don't buy all colors, I try to choose the ones that flatter me best given my skin tone and hair/eye color. This means I tend to choose deep/natural pinks or berry colors!


Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm
Recommended shades: Rose and Pink Blossom
Leaves a glossy finish.

Burts Bees Lip Shimmer

I bought this in Cherry thinking it'd be a sheer pink/red and I didn't like it. I did like that it has the minty tingliness when applied! This leaves a glossy shimmery finish that I felt was too much for me.


Rosebud Salve Company
Recommended: Strawberry
Leaves a HIGH glossy finish.
This product is pretty much a tinted Vaseline, but it makes my lips so soft and smooth! The color payoff is a rich Rose color. I do wish the staying power was a bit longer. I also don't like putting my finger in the tin to get product— I don't find it very hygienic and it's messy!

Nivea Tinted
Recommended: Strawberry
Leaves a glossy finish.
Staying power was okay, but I love the scent sooooo much! It reminds me of strawberry push-pops (if anyone remembers those!?).

Neutrogena Healthy Lips
Recommended: Healthy (yes that's the color heheh).
Staying power is fine, but even when it wears off, my lips still look amazing and naturally pigmented! I love that this has SPF 20, and the scent is a faint berry scent.

Thanks for reading!

ALSO, I turn 22 today! I don't feel old I guess, since I'm in that "early twenties" stage, plus Abrann's 25 so that give me one more reason to feel youthful! Hehe. I don't really know what I'm up to later, but I'm sure I won't do anything reckless! I can't believe I still don't drink haha!
