Aritaum Aloe No-Wash Cleansing Water

Aritaum Aloe No-Wash Cleansing Water 
I think the cleansing water helped with my sebum production during the summer.
And I use this on my lazy weekends when I wake up and don't feel like washing my face in the morning.

Every month there could be 9-11 masks in every bag which can range anything including sheet mask, hand mask, wash-off mask, eye mask, foot mask and etc. If you buy it per month or up to 3 months it is $15, $14 for 6 months or $13 for 12 months.

I have to say that I am quite disappointed with this month's mask maven. Did they even try? Three masks were doubles and they added a hand, foot and nose strip. WTH?

1. A'Pieu Sweet Melon Mask - this mask was a repeat and I didn't like it. Just a mediocre sheet mask.
2. Annie's Way Peptide Anti-Wrinkle Mask - I gave these to my mom.
3. Annie's Way Honey Deep Moisturizing Silk Mask - I actually like this brand but I would have preferred a more diverse of brands this month. Anyway this mask is perfect for this upcoming winter.
4. AngelLooka Collagen Mask - this is a new sheet mask for me and it was quite moisturizing during my long 2-hour bus ride to Philly but it has alcohol denatured in it!
5. AngelLooks Ultra Moisturizing Hand Mask - This is also a repeat and I have tried it before but I'm not a fan of hand mask because you can only do so much with these one.
6. Aritaum Bamboo Charcoal Blackhead Nose Patch - gave to my teenage brother hahaha.

I brought it for a year to try it out. 

1. Mediheal Parrafin Foot Mask - will be giving this away because I'm not a fan of foot mask.
2. TonyMoly Pureness - not a fan of these masks, but it does its job
3. No:hJ Soothing Mask Pack - Snail (red one) - perfect for sensitive skin. I have avoided snail ingredients as long as possible, but since this is in a sheet mask from one of my favorite brands-why not. I had this sheet mask on for a hour and it was still pretty moisturizing.
4. No:hj Aqua Soothing Hyaluorinc Acid Mask (green one) - perfect for these hot and humid days in NYC. Especially this Memorial Day weekend when the sun was blazing hot.
5. Aritaum Hyaluronic Acid Fresh Essence Mask - will skip because of the alcohol scent from the other Aritaum sheet mask that I tried.
6. Aritaum Fresh Powder Pearl Mask - I was looking forward to this brand, but I felted alcohol when I had the mask on my face so it prevented me from opening the Aritaum Hyaluronic Acid one. However, my skin did feel and looked brighten afterwards.
7. Scinic Hyaluronic Acid Essence Mask - saw alcohol as one of the main ingredients so skipped this one and the next one.
8. Scinic Snail Matrix Mask
9. MyBeautyDiary - Red Wine Mask - I was looking forward to this mask because I didn't want to buy the whole box when I was in Taiwan. After trying it, it smelled like Dimetapp the entire time on my face-definitely a pass. Lucky, I didn't buy the entire box in Taiwan.

Soothing September theme to end the summer.
I'm not fond of the floral bag this month. It is half the size as the previous two bag and the material isn't that great, but this bag is good for carrying chargers and wires.

1 - Aritaum Aloe No-Wash Cleansing Water

2 - AcquaGems Herbal Soothing Cream

3 - The Saem Mint Jungle Foot Cream
4 - Inner Kallia Special Care Modelling Pack - notified as the final spoiler via email on 09/10/15
5 - Mixing bowl was the body care physical item this month

6 - Secret Key Secret Kiss Holic Pigment Glitter - I got Gold!

• Aritaum Aloe No-Wash Cleansing Water or the Saem Tea Tree Garden Cleansing Water. I think the cleansing water item made this month bag worth the money. I got the Tea Tree which helps with sebum care. Beauteque read my mind for the September month cause my sebum production is increasing.

• AcquaGems Herbal Soothing Cream - do you use it on your face or body? I chose to use it as a hand cream. Very soft and moisturizing.

• Inner Kallia Special Care Modelling Pack - I got the Wrinkle Collagen. Modeling Mask is not something that I have ever done before but I knew of the process. Apply a thick layer, wait, and peel. I just feel the whole method of opening the packaging, pouring the powder in a mixing bowl and adding a certain amount of water, and then apply to your face and wait and then peel off the rubber material is just too much work. 

• The blue mixing bowl that Beauteque provided us is a smart marketing strategy otherwise I wouldn't even bother to use the modeling pack.

• The Saem Mint Jungle Foot Cream - mint on your feet when you sleep and let the product do its magic. 

• Secret key Secret kiss Holic pigment glitter- I was surprised with the eye-shadow glitter. It glides on easily and beautifully when carefully applied. You need to be careful when pouring it out of the bottle. Make sure you do it over the sink otherwise your whole floor will be glittery. Beauteque read my mind because I was shopping for a shimmer eye-shadow. This product and the cleansing water are my two favorite product in this month's bag.

Looking forward to October's luxury theme.
