This month I did a little bit of spring cleaning just for my skincare products and found these five boxes of masks and they all had one or two pieces left. I should just state this none of these did what it claimed, they were not lifting, whitening or firming. They were just moisturizing that's all. The sheets were saturated with 25ml of serum but the sheet was very thick. Since they were thick it meant that you would have to lay down or else the mask would fall off. Also I think that these are now discontinued.

I noticed this because it had it's own little stand at my local supermarket, plus is was on a special deal. I thought I should try it out and hope that it will help whiten my teeth, even through my teeth are pretty white. Firstly I disliked the taste it was very strong, much stronger than normal toothpastes. Secondly, it did not whitening my teeth at all.
Repurchase? No
Avon Planet Spa Icelandic Mineral Waters Toning Moisture Gel - 200g
This is was gifted to me a long time, it is supposed to be a firming body lotion. When I apply this my whole body gets a very cooling effect from it. However, it is not firming or even moisturizing.
Repurchase? No
The Body Shop Coconut Body Scrub - 200ml
OMG I just love the scent of this. The scrub is not that rough which makes it perfect for everyday use or for those with sensitive skin. I personally don't like it mainly because I have very dry skin and enjoy scrubs that have a bit more scrubby.
Repurchase? No
Glam Glow Tingling and Exfoliating Mud Mask - 50ml
This is the most expensive mask I have ever bought. Just like the description states it does tingle and exfoliate, when you apply this and it starts to harden you will not be able to move your face! Yes that's right, the first time I applied this I was so freaked out thinking that it was going to make my face so dry afterwards. Well didn't dry out my skin, instead it had a very brightening effect. It's nice to use and treat yourself every now and then, but this is way too expensive to keep on buying.
Repurchase? No, mainly because of the price
Isa Knox MX-II Platinum Ultra Moisture Cream - 50ml
I recently reviewed this here, I really enjoyed using this during the winter. I do think that it is much better suited to those with drier skin. It also made my BB cream and foundation apply very evenly and gave a nice dewy look. Yes, I love having a dewy effect in make up.
Repurchase? No, just because I have other creams to try out
I love the natural scent of all the Magnolia line by Naruko, but sadly this has be discontinued. It's not brightening or firming but I still like it because the spray effect is just perfect. I use it to set my make up and it just gives a very dewy and fresh look.
Repurchase? Sadly, no
Hythiol-C Premiere Daily Protect UV SPF 40 - 30g
Found this Japanese brand randomly on sale online and brought two. I love the texture of this sun cream it's very light but feels very moisturizing at the same time. It does not leave a white cast which is always great.
Repurchase? No, because I have some Missah sun creams that I want to try out
Skin Peptoxyl Vitalizing Anti-wrinkle Eye Concentrate - 30ml
Again it was on sale at SaSa for a few bucks. It claims to do a lot of things but delivers very little. It did not minimize fine lines at all. But it was moisturizing, but again any eye cream can do that.
Repurchase? No
Clinique Super City Block SPF 40 - 40ml
A light oil-free formula that would be great for those with oily skin. The cream is tinted but not enough to provide any coverage. It makes the perfect canvas to apply BB cream/foundation onto, but it does have a very noticeable scent.
Repurchase? No, again because I have others to try out
My Beauty Dairy Blooming of Beauty Masks
I have two varieties in Orange Blossom and Pink Rockrose and these were limited edition. I don't know what each one claims to do because the packaging was all in another language. But they are both very moisturizing and the sheet was very thin and very comfortable to ware.
Repurchase? No
Lux Super Damage Repair Shampoo - 450g
I found this shampoo to be very drying even through it claims to be for damaged hair. I would use this and come out of the shower with so much frizzes. I did like the scent but that was all.
Repurchase? No
Biotene Dry Mouth Mouthwash - 235ml
I do suffer from dry mouth and it's very annoying. I know this may sound gross but I kinda stopped using mouthwash just because they are usually very strong and very drying. I found this to be very gentle plus is does not have that strong taste of mint.
Repurchase? Already have
SAMPLES
Banila Co. Clean it Zero
This is a cleansing balm and I received this deluxe sample. It lasted me for about five washes. You massage it onto the face and the add a few drops of water and continue. It did a really good god at removing make up, plus the massaging process is really relaxing.
Repurchase? Yes
IOPE Moisture Skin Cleansing Cream - 15ml
Just a simple cleansing cream nothing special. It was gentle but effective and removed most of my make up off.
Repurchase? No
IOPE Moisture Skin Soft Peeling Gel - 15ml
This peeling gel wasn't very effective it started to ball up before I even fully massaged my face with it. Maybe this one was way too gentle.
Repurchase? No
Daal Story Relief Drop Body Emulsion
This brand is a sub of the Skinfood brand and sadly it is discontinued now. I bought a skincare item from their G-market shop and received two packets of emulsion and body wash samples. I recently finished the emulsion and I do like it. It's very moisturizing but absorbs very fast without leaving and stickiness behind.
Repurchase? No
Love,
Sakura
