Moist Skin Care: Strawberry Moisturizing Mask Sheet Review


This cold weather we're having this week makes me want to sleep all day and just relax. Although, as much as I enjoy this cold weather, I just want the rain to stop. Since it's really becoming dangerous and hassle to go outside. So before I start my review, let me just remind you guys to be careful outside when it's raining so hard.

Anyway, this review is about another mask that I've tried. I'm really not into masks because I don't feel too comfortable with it. BUT I bought this because of its cheap price. Moist Skin Care Strawberry Moisturizing Mask Sheet is only 29 pesos and I bought it at New Star grocery store at Calamba, Laguna. I'm not really sure if this is safe since it's really cheap and I haven't heard of Moist Skin Care brand before. But I saw that it has a stamp of BFAD approved so I guess it's pretty safe but we're never too sure. All skin care products (even high end brands) are always a risk to us because we're not sure if our skin fits the product. Or in the Philippines we say "hiyang".

This is what it looks like:


Product Description: Rich in strawberry extracts that contain the anti-oxidant ellagic acid which prevents collagen destruction.

The product description sounds really promising. Plus, the packaging is really nice. It kind of reminds me of korean masks because of the texture. It's a plus for the product. It does not look cheap at all.


A part of the ingredients was actually covered by the price. (Sorry) Anyway, the back of the packaging looks common. It has guidelines which is really neat if you're a mask virgin.


This is the BFAD approved stamp which alleviates your worry a little bit. AND look at the expiration date (I think), 2020/05/22 which is a really long time from now so you can leave it in your fridge forever...(haha just kidding). Although, I'm not really sure of this product's availability nationwide since I haven't heard of this brand before so if you guys know where to buy this other than New Star then comment down below. :)


Once you bought a mask, make sure to put it in the fridge so it will cool. Anyway, when you open the product, it has a white mask inside. Wash your hands and face first before putting this on to prevent bacteria. It smells really nice like strawberry which is really relaxing and great.

Warning: Ugly picture ahead (hahaha)



The mask is really soft which is great because you can relax more. Plus, it's a little large for me because it has excess but it's a good thing. It means that it can fit on everyone's faces. So I left it on for 15 minutes and just let it absorb in my skin. Then I removed the mask after and massaged my face for 20 minutes. The directions stated that you can leave it without washing it off. So I did, but after 40 minutes, it started to itch so I rinsed it off. Fortunately, I did not have any breakouts from this.

In Summary:

Availability: 2/5
Packaging: 5/5
Price: 5/5
Product: 3/5

Verdict:

I'm not totally in love with this product since I did not feel any results and it did itch after 40 minutes. But maybe you guys can have a better experience than me. After all, we're all different. Plus, it's really cheap so if it works for you it will be a great dupe for all the expensive masks out there.

Love,

Pretty Secret Honey Black Detox Mask Review


Before I start my review, I want to ask all of you to take a moment and pray for all the victims of gun violence this week. :( It is really devastating to think that humans are capable of such horrendous acts. 





On a positive note, I tried this Pretty Secret Honey Black Detox mask yesterday. It was my first time actually. I never really buy masks because I find them expensive. My friend asked me to write a review about this before she gave it to me. So here it is. 



I find the package interesting mainly because it's black. It actually reminds me of charcoal-themed beauty products. Moreover, whenever I browse beauty products at dept. stores / Watsons, I usually see masks with clean/ white packaging. There is also a rip guide (don't know what it's called haha) at the top so it'll be easy for you to open. 


The product includes only a wet black mask. So I suggest for you guys to wash your hands first before opening the product. Moving on, the texture of the mask is thick. It's a soft cloth so it's really relaxing on your face.

Tip #1: Wash the mask and re-use it using your own natural ingredients. (E.g. honey) (I'll try this too) 

Anyway, it claims to brighten dull skin while moisturizing and soothing it. 
Because I'm a mask newbie, I read the instructions first:

Directions: 
1. Wash face with clean water and pat dry.
2. Apply the mask on your face and leave it for 15-20 minutes then remove mask. 
3. Gently massage the remaining essence until thoroughly absorbed. (No cleansing required)

Warning: scary picture ahead.


Yes that's me using the product...I look like a ghost...lol. Anyway, the mask itself was pretty big on my face but it's not a problem because it sticks really well. I just included a portion of my chin in the mask. It smells okay I guess. I only have one problem though. The liquid is honey so it's really sticky. I felt really uncomfortable because of this. Nevertheless, it was a good experience whenever you have the time to pamper yourself. 

Tip #2: try adding cucumber to have a salon worthy experience. 

#3 of the directions included in the package states that it's okay for you not to wash your face afterwards. I tried it but my face got itchy so I had to wash it after an hour or so. 

My result picture is the day after I used the product so we can see if it really worked. 



Ta daa. That's my face without make-up and filter. You can see my blemishes.  my face appear dewy instead of its natural super oily look. It did brighten my skin a little and it feels soft. 

Verdict:
If I have extra cash and feel I need a pamper moment, I'll buy again. However, I'd rather invest my money with a cream type moisturizer because you can use it for a long time compared to masks. Btw, my friend told me that she bought this for 50 plus pesos. 

Love,
