REVIEW: MY SCHEMING BIRD'S NEST COLLAGEN HYDRATING MASK

MaskGenie Challenge Day 3: My Scheming Bird's Nest Collagen Hydrating Mask (Taiwan)


There was a lot of essence in the mask and it was dripping wet when I took it out of its packaging. This is a 20-30 minute mask which gives you plenty of time to relax, but also not so great if you don't have much time to spare before you head to sleep. There's not much of a scent, so that's good if you have sensitive skin or an itchy nose. The fit is great except for the nose area (it doesn't cover the sides of nose again). After removing the mask after 30 minutes, there was still a lot of essence left on my face, and it took me a while to massage it all in. It did, however, leave a slight sticky feeling on some parts of my face. My face felt tightened and hydrated (I ended up using less products in the rest of my skincare regime that night too).

MEMEBOX SPECIAL #70 CLEANSE & TONE UNBOXING

This is by far one of the better boxes I've received recently - at least there were no CPM items inside, but then again, the quality of the boxes is definitely not as high as they used to be!

MEMEBOX SUPERBOX #79 OH! MY LIPS UNBOXING

I bought these as a bundle, so they were shipped by DHL, hence getting them so quickly - just one day for them to be delivered to me!

Memebox Superbox #79 Oh! My Lips


Despite what other people may say about this box, I was actually pretty impressed with this box, and all of the products will definitely go into good use! In particular, I really like the lip jelly - it's really moisturising and it smells sooooo good, but the only thing is that it does get surprisingly red after applying just 2 layers onto my lips!! I now take a very small amount with my ring finger, then dab it gently onto my lips - this way, the colour is just right!

I think my picture for the video is 100% better than the box itself, but on the bright side, I'll have a lot of things to give away as presents for Christmas!

REVIEW: BEAUTY MATE 3D MULTIPLE REFINING & REVITALISING SNAIL MASK (LEVEL UP)

This is the second mask that I'm trying for the MaskGenie Challenge!

MaskGenie Challenge Day 2: Beauty Mate 3D Multiple Refining & Revitalising Snail Mask Level Up (Taiwan)



There was sufficient amount of essence - it wasn't dripping wet, but it was enough to last 10-15 minutes. The good thing about this mask is that it is fragrance free, so it's particularly good if you have sensitive skin! The coverage is okay - the area below my nose and above my mouth was too long, so I had to push it up to avoid it touching my lips, and again, the sides of my nose were not covered. I was slightly disappointed to see that the mask was not a 3D one as claimed in its name. After removing the mask, there was still a lot of essence left on my face, and as I was massaging it into my face, I felt that the essence was very water-like (not sticky or thick at all), and it absorbed quickly into my skin too (like how water would). There was no sticky feeling left on my face afterwards, and surprisingly, I realised that the milia on my chin weren't bumpy anymore (this was very surprising, because they seemed impossible to get rid of)! Despite the wonders of the mask, my face felt slightly dry afterwards and desperately needed to apply moisturiser.

REVIEW: SAM TIN DR. MORITA FIRMING ESSENCE MASK

This is the first mask that I'm trying for my MaskGenie Challenge!

Mask Challenge Day 1: Sam Tin Dr. Morita Moisturising Line Firming Essence Facial Mask (Taiwan)


Suitable for dry and delicate skin / mature skin

This mask provides intense nourishment, it moisturises and repairs skin.


Organic Helichrysum contains rich orange blossom acids which are effective in repairing and soothing
Organic Elderberry Special Herb from Europe contains flavonoids, phenolic acids, and tannins that are good for soothing and repairing
DNA Repairing Element

A lot of essence was in the packet as well as in the mask - there was so much essence that it was nearly dripping as I took the mask out from its packaging! The mask is a thin cotton blend mask, and although it smells of flowers, it's not a perfume type of scent, so it wasn't irritating for my nose! It's a 10-15 minute mask, so if you don't have a lot of time (other masks are usually 20-30 minutes), this mask is great! The mask covered my face pretty well, although the sides of my nose were not really covered (pretty common in face sheet masks so I don't blame them). After I removed the mask after 15 minutes, there was no sticky feeling left on my face, and the essence absorbed into my face pretty quickly. My face felt firmer, smoother, and softer after using the mask. I must say I'm pretty impressed! This will definitely be added to the MaskGenie Pouch!!!
