This mask was worrying me over the reviews I read online before I used it.
Most people say that it made their face extremely oily overnight, and since I have a tendency to breakout from breathing I was pretty hesitant to use this one.
Thankfully, nothing happening. In fact, this mask did nothing for my face at all. I found myself 45 minutes with it on with a still wet mask sheet. It had me wondering what's going on. I believe it's too thick to be absorbed for some reason. I ended up taking off the mask, squeezing out the essence and spreading it on my face. It took me about 5 minutes to have it all soaked in.
I went to sleep, and woke up with the same old skin I'm used to, no over shine, no "I'm super moisturized" feel to my face, nothing.
I'll probably be sticking to the innisfree it's real cucumber for now on.
This mask gets a 2 out of 5.

Baking Powder BB Deep Cleansing Foam Review
I've been waiting for this one anxiously in the mail for over a week now, and I finally got it. This facial wash is AMAZING.
- Removes Make Up
- Exfoliates Face - Gently
This product comes in this normal to oily skin package and a Moist package for dry skin. A little goes a long way, all you need is a pea size drop for your whole face, and even then you might feel you used too much of it. It leaves a nice "Oh my god is it windy in here?" feel to your face, and to me that's a major "I SUPER CLEANED YOUR PORES" signal. The only other face wash I know with that ability is the Clean and Clear Deep Action Cleanser.
Price range wise, it's a bit pricey .. $12 but I can definitely say it's worth the money, I believe the 150ML bottle will last you about 6 to 9 months, that's how little you need of it to work. I'm giving this one a 5 out of 5. Etude house know what they're doing.

innisfree it's real cucumber mask review
Another Soko Glam Purchase Trial.
The first thing I noticed about this mask was it's lovely scent. As soon as I opened the bag I was met with a nice citrus-like fragrance. Which was weird, cause, it's real Cucumber, right??
The mask, compared to the Etude House, MJCare, and Manefit is extremely thin, and easy to tear. Which I did while I was unfolding it. It took a bit longer to put on just for that reason, so that's something to keep in mind. This mask offers you "Ultra Hydration" which I felt from the minute it touched my face. One thing that made me extremely happy with this mask was that it was not sticky, which made it that much easier for my skin to completely absorb, I had nothing left when I tried to squeeze the mask for some goodies for my neck, no complains.
Pros:
- Non-Sticky
- Easy Use
- Nice Fragrance - But does not smell like Cucumber
- Hydrating
- Smoothing
- Soothing
- Brightening
Cons:
- Delicate
Overall, A++ for this mask. I can deal with a delicate mask when I get so many benefits in return. Will definitely be buying this one again.

(Mijin Cosmetics) MJ CARE Snail Essence Mask Review
The very first thing I noticed about this mask, compared to the Vitamin A Etude House Essence Mask, was how slimy it was.
It's made out of Snail Mucin. Oki, it's weird, I agree. But in Chile, the snail farmers noticed how younger and smoother their hands looked and how fast their cuts and scraps were healing when they were handling snails. It's said that the mucin beats wrinkles, scarring, and inflamed skin as well. I dont know about you, but I was personally sold.
I put this mask on after washing my face, exfoliating, and using the toner. It's super sticky. But that's expected from Slime. It gave me a nice cooling effect that lasted even after I took the mask off. My skin seems brighter, but since it's the first time to use it I know I won't be seeing any MAJOR changes. It took a while for my skin to absorb it, a little too long if you ask me, but I assume it's only cause it's much thicker than the other masks.
Pros:
- Soothing
- Moisturizing
- Brightening
- Cooling
- Nice Powdery Smell
Cons:
- Sticky
- Thick
- Slimy
Overall, I'm not sure I want to buy this again. I'll definitely be trying different masks from this company, but if I were to decide to give the Snail Essence another chance I'll be trying out another company's first to see if it's any different.

Etude House Essence Mask Vitamin A Review
I've always wondered how Korean women managed to have such gorgeous skin. So I decided to dive in head first in their beauty market to test their products out hoping that I end up having good skin like theirs. I ordered this Etude House mask along with a bunch of other Korean masks from Soko Glam, a Korean product website run by Charlotte, a Seoulite who decided to bring the Korean beauty market to the US and Canada.
One of the very first things I noticed about this mask was it's size. This doesn't fit properly on your face, I had to keep adjusting it while it was on to make sure it had proper contact with my skin.
It was a little sticky, but nothing unbearable, and there was a soft fragrance to it that was not at all chemical, I appreciate that about it.
It's said that this mask is supposed to help with wrinkles, loose, and dry skin.
I don't have wrinkles or loose skin but in December my skin is definitely dry and suffering from the cold air. I've noticed after the mask that my skin was soft, smooth, and a little brighter than what it was before I used the mask.
Pros:

Pros:
- Softening
- No need to wash face after use
- Hydrating
- Brightening
- No Chemical Smell
Cons:
- Too Big
- Slightly Sticky
Overall, I enjoyed using this mask. And at $2 per mask it seems like a good investment. Will definitely be getting some more for myself, and maybe even for my mum.

Clinique: Acne Solutions Clear Skin System Starter Kit Review
It's always nice to go to the mall and look at new things, but while girls usually like to go look at clothes. I like to go look at make up, and skin care lines.
I had a nice conversation with a Clinique sales person, and she managed to convince me to buy the Acne Solutions Clear Skin System Starter Kittelling me that if it doesnt work within the next month, I should bring it back to her, and we'll figure out a new way to stop my skin irritation. What a nice lady, huh?? Set Includes:
Acne Solutions Cleansing Foam 1.7 fl. oz./50 ml
Acne Solutions Clarifying Lotion 3.4 fl. oz./100 ml
Acne Solutions Clearing Moisturizer 1.0 fl. oz / 30ml
The Cleansing Foam is like Biore's 4-in-1 Detoxifying Cleanser, but it doesnt smell as good, which is Clinique's point. 100% Fragrance Free. It's smooth, very gentle on the skin, and easy to wash off.
After using the Cleansing Foam, you dry your face, get a cotton ball, or the cotton rounds and use a bit of the Clarifying Lotion to remove dirt and make up residue. Remember the Salicylic Acid we mentioned in the last post??
Note: While wiping your face, be gentle, you're not scrubbing pots and pans. Your skin is very sensitive, and you should treat it with tender love and care.
Last, but not least, the Clearing Moisturizer. It's smooth, not sticky, and doesnt leave your skin looking shiny!! (YAAY)
It's very important to keep your skin hydrated. Lack of hydration will cause breakouts, blackheads, and access oil production. In the long run, it prevents premature lines and wrinkles. You need to know that using these chemicals strip your skin of moisture, it's enviable.
NOTE: If you have Combination, Oily, or Acne-Prone skin, it's always best to use an oil free moisturizer. I've had it for roughly three weeks, is it working?? Yes. I can tell the difference, it doesnt irritate my skin when I use it. I've been using it day and night (For the best results) and I have to say, I've very happy with it so far. Clinique: Acne Solutions Clear Skin System Starter Kit Score: A++ Would you be willing to pay $35 dollars to use the Clinique: Acne Solutions Clear Skin System Starter Kit?? Why and Why Not?? Dont forget to send me emails with thoughts, and comments at thebotexperience@gmail.com CWKhalil
