*sigh* it's really been too long since my last post, I know you must be getting bored. sorries!
Here's a product I've wanted to review for a LONG time.
I picked this up when I went to Korea. All the packaging of Skinfood skincare and cosmetics are irresistible... well to me anyways =P As kyoote as this packaging is, the hand cream quality is not that great I say with much sadness. I really wanted to like it and pull it out of my purse with much pride cuz after all I trekked it back all the way from Seoul!
The thickness of the hand cream is great and it dries ok. What I don't like about it, is that it is one of those surface-y hand creams. The product doesn't sink into the skin to help nourish and heal it. Instead it just sits on the surface and doesn't absorb. This product has a light scent to it, which also works out for me since I don't care for the heavy smelling lotions. I wouldn't recommend this product if you really want your hands moisturized but I would recommend it if you just want something cute to pull out of your purse or just a cute product to have in your room. Since there are still so many cute, adorable products in Korea just waiting for me to try, I will not be getting this when I return.
So this is what it says in the front of the packaging:
Food therapy
Special food for the skin to eat. Contains lots of nutritive and energetic ingredients such as plants, fruits and etc. to maintain our bodies healthy and lively.
and this in the back...
- wrinkle care functional cosmetics-
This wrinkle care functional hand cream contains Pineapple extract to make your finely wrinkled and rough hands smooth and elastic.
hmmm... now that I think of it, maybe this product does it's job after all. It did make my hands appear smoother. So maybe it's one of those hand creams that were meant to be an illusion. To make your hands nice and smooth for going out but washes off when you get home.
I apologize for the blurry images... I swear they are not at all blurry when I took them with my camera and they still are not blurry when I look at them with my camera... go figure.
WARNING: BEWARE OF ALL THINGS GIRLIE!

the face shop vita E mask sheet review
So this is the mask I used last weekend. I got this at the Face Shop in Korea so everything besides the Nutri- Life E mask sheet is in korean. This mask nicely moisturized my face. It didn't fade any acne scars , but I don't think that was one of the functions anyways. And I didn't have a new breakout when I woke up in the morning =)
Silly me, I thought these two were the same mask. But they're not. I bought this from the Face Shop here and it has english. When I took a closer look at it, I realize this one has milk in it.
What it says-
Vita E Mask Sheet, with skin plumping milk and egg extracts.
- Formulated with Vitamin E and extracts of Milk and Egg, this vitamin drenched sheet mask floods the skin with lavish moisture and helps keep your skin look and feel youthful.
- Vitamin E moisturizes, helps fight oxidation and protects skin cells against sun damage.
-patented phytolex nanoliposome effectively delivers beneficial ingredients deep into the skin and helps protect tired, rough skin from environmental damages.
What is Phytolex Nanoliposome?
Phytolex Nanoliposome is a composite of Ceramide and natural plant extracts of Mung Bean, White Birch and Rumex Crispus L.
The second mask was extremely moisturizing. It made my skin really oily in the morning and my pores were HUGE!! The consistency of this mask is that it is pretty thick. I would recommend this to someone who has extremely dry skin or is out in the sun a lot. It's supposed to help with sun damage. Vitamin E is really good for your skin. Would I repurchase these? I would repurchase the one from Korea, the other mask made my skin too oily.
Have you tried this mask? Have you tried any of the masks from the Face Shop? What do you think about cotton sheet masks?
