my beauty diary southern france apricot mask

Let me first start by saying this review is long overdue. I've been having crazy weeks and days and have only been able to THINK about blogging. There's just never enough time in one day to do EVERYTHING I want to do! 

This is the description of this product~

My Beauty Diary Southern France Apricot Mask softens, smooths and highly moisturizes the skin. Apricot extract from southern France provides excellent moisturizing effect. It quenches the thirst of skin, leaving dry skin keenly comfortable. The skin surface will be inscrutably velvety to the touch.

Added with extracts of highly moisturizing grain, such as oat, job's tears and hydrolyzed rice protein, it gives more in-depth nourishing and nursing effect to dry skin. The stratum corneum is fully soaked in moisturizing ingredients. It maintains skin’s suppleness, elasticity, fairness and clearness.
It is suitable for normal skin. It is especially recommended for dry skin and combination skin that tends towards dryness.

These are the steps to using this mask

1. After cleansing and toning steps, tear off the package of the mask and gently place it on the face.
2. Leave on for about 20 – 30 minutes. Then remove the mask.
3. Massage the remains, if any, into the skin. Follow with normal skin care procedure.

Skin type- dry and delicate skin / combination skin

I have to say my results were really nice, even nicer when I used my Dermanew to further massage in the serum on my face after I took off the mask. My skin was SUPER soft. I couldn't stop touching it or bouncing my hands off my cheeks, thinking the effects could go away any second. 

In the morning my skin was 

• very nicely moisturized, not oily or shiny
• no new breakouts 
• skin was soft and firm to the touch

Sad to say, none of my marks faded from this mask.... but not like this mask was made to do that but a one can always hope. I guess this mask would be TOO perfect if it did that too.

Would I buy this again? Yes, I will definitely keep this mask in rotation. I guess if I had to give this mask a number rating I would say 8/10, maybe even a 9/10. Because seriously after I used my Dermanew on it, it was RIDICULOUSLY soft!

Have you tried this mask before? Did you like it?  Did you get similar results? 

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?
