Patchology Exfoliate FlashMasque Facial Sheets








As a mask fiend, I came across good reviews for this mask and couldn’t wait to try it out. It bills itself as an affordable option but I was able to find cheaper masks online and in store due to the growth of their popularity. Granted, this mask ($8/1 or $50 for 8) is a bit more luxe feeling than the traditional $5 and under masks I have used before. The luxe fabric stays put and has a barely there look according to the package. I had a slight movement and the mask look anything but barely there. However, my skin did feel smoother, softer and hydrated thanks though the lactic acid, papin, aloe leaf extract, yeast amino acids, trehalose, taurine, inositol and betanine. The  Asian pear blossoms and citrus notes give the mask a subtle floral scent, which I didn’t really care for. A good mask but a bit pricey and I am in no rush to try it again.

Eminence Organic Skin Care Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant







The  rice based exfoliant is safe for all skin types and can be used daily. The exfoliant is packed with good for you ingredients such as strawberry extracts, salicylic acid, ascorbic acid, vitamins, lactic acid, rice, chickpea flour, thermal mud, oats, Coenzyme Q10, and Alpha Lipoic Acid. The scrub promises to exfoliates and removes impurities to brighten skin and shrink pores. The powder scrub is very easy to use. I like how you can make the scrub dry or more liquidy by adding water. I usually like my scrubs a bit drier although, I do have sensitive skin and does make my skin a bit raw but I feel like I get a more thorough clean. My skin does feel a bit tight after using the scrub but when I followed up with lotion my skin felt soft, smooth and dewy.
