MEDIHEAL MASK DRESS CODE RED (GINSENG) ($3)

I received this product in my August 2016 PinkSeoul Mask Box. This sheet mask is just so fun! I love the mask detail and totally had a blast wearing it. The mask fit very well. It is a very wet mask but it wasn’t too sticky. It felt very soothing on the face and was very comfortable to wear. My skin was very hydrated and moisturized after using. I really enjoyed this mask and I would definitely repurchase it!

SOC ANIMAL TIGER ANTI-WRINKLE SHEET MASK ($3)

SOC Animal Tiger Anti-Wrinkle Sheet Mask
SOC Animal Tiger Anti-Wrinkle Sheet Mask on face

I received this product in my August 2016 PinkSeoul Mask Box. I love sheet masks and animal sheet masks are just so adorable. I have some from another brand that I really love so much. However, I didn’t like this one. The material was very thick. I have never used a sheet mask that was so thick. It was very hard to get it to fit the face. It kept bunching up. It is a very wet and didn’t sink into the skin very well. I did like that it didn’t break me out and that it felt very soothing. It also wasn’t sticky. My skin was hydrated after using. I won’t be repurchasing because there are better ones.

Material is too thick

LiftLab Skin Rejuvenation ($65)

LiftLab Skin Rejuvenation

I received this product (deluxe sample) in my September 2016 Beautyfix Box. This cleanser is pretty pricey, but I really love it. You can use it as a cleanser or a mask. I tried it as a cleanser and really enjoyed it. I will have to try it as a mask too. It only takes 3 minutes as a mask. The cleanser foams up nicely and feels amazing on the skin. My skin felt so smooth and clean after using. It also didn’t break me out or strip the moisture from my skin. If I find a good sale, I would consider purchasing it.

Glytone Enhance Brightening Complex 

Glytone Enhance Brightening Complex

I received this product (sample) in my September 2016 Beautyfix Box. This complex costs around $70 which is very pricey. I liked it, but I wouldn’t pay that price. It contains organic acids which can sting a bit. I could barely feel the sting and I have sensitive skin. This sample is so tiny so I only got a few uses out of it. I am not able to properly review it. I did notice my skin looked brighter when using it. It wasn’t anything drastic. I wish the sample was larger so I could really test it. I don’t think I would repurchase.

MCC Waterbean Glow Lipstick in Madarine Some ($18)

I received this product in my September 2016 Mishibox. I was afraid I wouldn’t like this lipstick because I am not a fan of orange shades. However, I really like this color on my lips. It is very moisturizing and so comfortable to wear. It was easy to apply and it lasts a decent amount of time on the lips. It is a very bright shade which would be perfect in the summer (but you can totally rock it in the fall too). I just love how it feels on the lips. It is very shiny and I definitely want to pick up this lipstick in more shades.

Sam & Sean White Clay Mask ($20)

I received this product in my September 2016 Mishibox. I really love this mask. I love the white color and it was just so fun to apply. I used to be a mime so it brought me back to my miming days. The mask is very thick and easy to apply to the face. It doesn’t take long at all for it to harden (around 5-10 minutes). I just love how my skin felt after using it. It was very smooth and not irritated at all. My skin felt very clear. This mask is just so fun and I will definitely use it again. I have so many masks to try so I don’t know if I will repurchase anytime soon. However, I would definitely consider it in the future.

I received this product in my September 2016 Lip Monthly Bag. I am not a fan of purple for my skin tone. However, I LOVE this color. I was so surprised that I liked how it looked on my lips. It is so bright and fun. It was easy to apply and is a matte formula. However, it wasn’t overly drying or uncomfortable to wear at all. It lasted a decent amount of time on the lips and I just love how it looks. I will definitely wear this color again. I don’t know if I would purchase any more shades of this lip crayon, but I love this one!

The BrowGal Double Ended Highlighter Pencil ($20)

The BrowGal Double Ended Highlighter Pencil swatch

I received this product in my Fall 2016 Beautycon BFF Box. This highlighter pencil just doesn’t work for me. The formula is nice, but the shades do not work with my skin tone. The cream shade is way too dark for me. The shimmer shade is also a bit dark and doesn’t do much for my brows. I was really wanted to love this pencil because the shades look so pretty. On darker skin tones, this pencil would be gorgeous. I will be giving it away to someone who can use it.

Milk Makeup Highlighter ($24)

I received this product (sample) in my September 2016 Birchbox. I don’t use cream highlighters often but this one is really nice. It used my finger to blend it on my skin. It was easy to blend and gave a natural glow. I would also use this as a base for a more intense highlight. It is a fairly subtle highlight on its own. I think it is really pretty. I don’t think I would repurchase it, but I will continue to use it.

Pretty but won’t use that often

Smith & Cult Lip Lacquer in The Warning ($22)

Smith & Cult Lip Lacquer in The Warning on lips

I received this product in my September 2016 PopSugar Must Have Box. I have heard a lot of great things about this lipgloss. It is such a gorgeous shade and it was very easy to apply. I love how shiny it is and my lips looked so glossy. It is very comfortable to wear. It is a bit sticky but silky at the same time. If you don’t like sticky glosses, I don’t think you would be a fan of this gloss. I didn’t like how my hair wanted to stick to it. It lasted a decent amount of time on my lips. I love the packaging so much because it is stunning. I don’t think I would purchase more of these glosses, but I will continue to use this one. It will be really nice for winter.
