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.

Masks #3 - Firming

Ok, so first of all, I lied, I am sorry! I meant to get back into blogging but then I got distracted. But here it is now. A collection of masks I have tried in the past few months. Be warned, it is quite long.

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. 

Testerkorea Haul #2

Yes this is an extremely belated post for my TK haul #2 that was made in January. This was placed a week after my first haul and shipped out a day before #1 shipped out. So they arrived around the same time as each other. This one was purchased for various reasons. 1) I wanted to try some samples, 2) I needed a reason to get the castle hand creams and 3) to get some cute fruit shaped items for a friend's birthday present.
