My first order from SweetCorea website! After purchasing about US$100 all I got as a sample was a sheet mask-I don't know what to say about this site! It's just a regular Korean website that charging shipping based on weight and they have a lot of products and sales. Plus shipping is really fast.

Top 5 Fall/Winter masks 2016

1. DeWyTree Honey Black Moist Mask - This is my favorite new winter mask. I am inspired to make a top 10 favorite winter mask for those that are in search for winter mask sheet. This has top number 1 for me! I had it for more than 1 hour and there was still moisture. I prefer black cotton sheets over white. I just like different things (colors).
2. SNP Animal Otter Aqua Mask - moisturizes and cute (best for guys who don't wanna feel girly because they are using "face masks"). At first I didn't think much about this mask because it dried fast. But the next morning, I still felt the moisture left from the mask on my face. I really did not want to wash my face, ha. Afterwards I think I used it on the wrong side because the prints wear darker on one side.  
3. TonyMoly I'm Real Rice Mask - for brightening - OMG, I love this mask, after 30 minutes of this mask, it was still full of essence and when I took it off, my face was so radiant!!!
4. no:hJ - This brand is definitely new to me and I love the packaging. I like the clear bag to let me see what color the mask sheet is and etc. You know, decorating and stuff. There's a ton of essence (25g worth), but are those 24 K gold specks on my face now once I took off the face mask?  These are good if you need lots of moisture-very hydrating. Feels very organic and natural resources kind of thing, now where do I get more?  
5. My Beauty Diary Huatung - I knew I made the right choice of picking this up when I was in Taiwan this past winter. Very hydrating, tons of essence. I left mines on for 40 minutes!

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 brought it for a year to try it out. 

 

This month's theme of "Put Yourself First" made me re-think on why haven't I paid attention to my skin earlier in life instead of waiting until my late twenties to start. My main focus this winter is moisture and healing and this month's mask maven does just the job.

1. DeWyTree Honey Black Moist Mask - This is my favorite new winter mask. I am inspired to make a top 10 favorite winter mask for those that are in search for winter mask sheet. This has top number 1 for me!
2. Somoon Ampoule Juice Animal Mask - Bear design was the only good thing about this mask. My skin (especially my eye area) felt really uncomfortable. You know that itchy burning feeling but has nothing to do with heat - yea, that is the feeling I had. This means that this mask isn't for people with sensitive skin. Plus it sorta stinks.  
3. Hanaka Snail and Black Pearl and Elasticity Mask - my favorite brand this year but I'm biased because I love Hanaka sheet masks!
4. Hanaka Cactus + Hyaluronic Acid mask - ditto from the previous mask. Lots of moisture and who doesn't like to have a look of glow afterwards?  
5. Esfolio Honey Mask - I would have prefer the Nature Republic for diversity of brands but esfolio is ok. Just another sheet mask.
6. Esfolio Green Tea Mask - no complains here cause I love green tea masks.  
7. Leaders Aquaringer Mask - I actually wanted one of the other two (pores scaling black aqua or the AC dressing mask) because I have tried this anti-aging related one twice.
8. Mizon Enjoy Vital Up Time Calming Mask - I had high hopes for this one but the one thing that stuck out for me was the lovely floral scent.
9. Ladykin Blueberry Wash Off Mask - I'm not a fan of this brand or wash off mask in general. I have previous tried the pear version and didn't really like it.

  

There were great ones and the not so great ones. I know which ones to avoid. Still searching for more kinds of sheet masks for the winter!
