Fragrance Mists and Body Mists Review

I tend to acquire decants and samples when I'm in a midst of a crash out (I'd buy actual perfumes whenever I'm in dire mental straits if my funds allow me but it does not!), so might as well put my quick thoughts about them. I'll try to update this list as I try new ones. Bath & Body Works ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ (I have repurchased these) Wild Honeysuckle - FANTASTIC! One of their more complex fragrances that I've tried. Honey right out of the gate. Smells briefly of kisses (type of aroma beads that was popular in the 90s). Then you get a burst of overwhelming jasmine flowers before settling in to subtle medley of florals. Disappointing longevity however, even for a fragrance mist. Wish I could find something that smells the same but would stay much longer. Moonlight Path  - Smells like powdery, musky flowers. Some people would say old lady perfume but this is actually one of my favorites. THE PERFECT BEDTIME SCENT! One thing I've learned is scents either get reformulat...

Skinfood Aloe Mask Sheet Review

Image
Another mask sheet that I've tried recently is Skinfood's Aloe Mask Sheet. After reading on the benefits of Aloe on the skin, the most notable that I've read were its moisturizing properties (suitable for dry and oily skin) and its healing properties (ushering the skin to heal from acne, blistering and what not with minimal scarring).  There's no English instruction/description on the back but because I have too much time on my hands, I typed it below (apart from the precautions for use part). I can only hope that I didn't misspelled anything.  ------------------------------------------------------- 스킨푸드 알로에 마스크 시트 수분이 풍부한 알로에 추출물이 함유되어 있고 촉촉하고 건강한 피부로 기꾸어 주는 100% 코튼 마스크 시트 [알로에 이야기] 피부를 진정시키고 건조한 피부를 촉촉하게 기꾸어 주는 알로에는 피부 진정 및 수분 공급 효과가 뛰어납니다. 사용법: - 마스크를 꺼내어 얼굴 중심에 잘 맞춘 후 피부에 말착시키며 붑여줍니다. - 10~15분 정도 사용 후 시트를 떼어내고 남은 에센스는 두드려 흡수시킵니다. 주요성분 : 알로에 베라젤 220mg Here is the rough English translation.  Disclaimer: Most likely no...

Etude House Pearl Extract Mask Sheet Review

Image
I have a few samples of Etude House Pearl Extract Mask Sheet lying around, so I decided to give it a try. Description: Essence mask contains pearl extract that promotes natural skin glow. Tension fit design for improved facial adhesion and comfort. The main active ingredient of the mask is hydrolyzed pearl. Pearl powder has been used for beauty treatments for so long now for their benefits they are believed to give. However, the absorption rate for pearl powder is low whether it is taken internally or applied topically. Hydrolyzed pearl has a higher absorption rate, so you the skin can absorb more protein, calcium and what not from the pearl.  Anyway, after cleansing my face I proceeded on putting on the mask sheet. I couldn't exactly describe the scent but it vaguely reminds me of the sea. I'm not sure if it was because I'm using a pearl product so I was associating the smell to the sea. Anyway, the mask fits well on my face and I left it on for 30 minutes...
