So I am not sure why, but toward the end of my last module, I started to have this "want" to buy lip tints.. So I caved and did stress induced purchases.. I bought quite a few of them.. Hahahahaha... So bad! I'll do a review on a few of them so I hope you don't mind close up shots of my lips....Also, because how much I ramble and how much swatches there are, this will be a LONG post! Please be patient!

Masks #4 - Hydration
A few years ago, someone at Clinque counter identified my skin as normal/combination and I think that is pretty accurate. Due to the fact that Cowtown is really dry and its pretty much winter for 3/4 of the year. My skin needs a lot of hydration.
During the warmer months, I just need toner, my hyaluronic acid serum and sunscreen and I am ready to go. But as soon as the temperature drops, like a few days ago where it hit below double digits (Celsius), my skin will start flaking and need the extra boost of moisture. So I am pretty drawn to items that offers boosts of moisture. Hence I am so excited to try these masks!
I should preface this blog entry with the fact that I used these masks as the last step in my routine before bed. So that would be toner, H-Acid and then mask. I feel like this is the best way to see how moisturizing the mask is. Because it is done over the warmer months, my skin can't take on too much moisture. So if I layer on my moisturizer, and the mask is really moisturizing as well, then it would be too much for my skin. Resulting in my skin looking shiny like no tomorrow and pilling up around my hairline. That's just not a good look. So this way, if the mask is not too moisturizing, I can slap on some more to compensate instead of washing everything off and starting again.

Tester Korea Haul #3
After trying a few masks, I decided I wanted to do a mask haul. I added so many masks into my cart and then kept on checking how much the shipping would be.. I was very shocked when I got $20 something for shipping because the order was so huge. I kept on playing with it and then made a boo boo. I accidentally confirmed to buy the cart thinking it was going to confirm after I go to Paypal. So imagine my surprise after coming back to the website and see my cart completely empty. I decided to just complete the order and "patiently" waited for my masks to come to me.. This was placed in early February and I received it by February 20th. So it wasn't a LONG wait.
