PreLab Toning Peeling Tap

PreLab Toning Peeling Tap 

I love this brand because of their sheet masks, so I had high expectations. For some reason, I thought this was a peeling gel that was indivdually wrapped up, but surprised me when I opened it and started to rub in onto my skin and it felt like a toner. There is a soft cushion sponge that you can rub onto your skin with the "toner" and it claims to remove dead skin cells from your face. All I know is that my face felt fresher and cleaner after 1 use. 

These are perfect for travelling and I will be using these for trips.

So this mask is one of my top 5 favorite sheet mask in all time. To make it to my favorites, there are a few requirements. Must be hydrating, moisturizing, doesn't stink, great for sensitive skin and no have alcohol in its ingredients. This mask has it all! Plus I have this mask one for 1 hour and it is still phenomenal! The essence doesn't drip off, the sheet mask does a great job of locking it in until it goes in contact with your skin.

Top 5 Spring sheet masks

I did one last season and I'm picking the next 5 for spring/summer. I go through about 10-20 sheet masks per month and went through 60 sheet masks to make this countdown of 5 of my favorites. In order to make it to my favorites, the sheet masks must be ok for sensitive skin and moisturizing (full essence). I tend to like to keep a sheet mask on for 30-60 minutes. Read below for my favs:

1. Yadah Brightening Mask Pack - you know when you take out the cotton sheet mask out of the mask and the essence feels like it's glued onto the sheet instead of dripping everywhere from the pouch to your face-well this one didn't. It was great for my sensitive skin and it carried actual lime fruit extract! Plus I love the packaging!
2. PreLab Aqua - I guess I have a thing for semi-collagen feeling sheet masks that are able to keep my face moisturized for a hour. Packaging is cute.
3. Face Shop Real Nature Lotus - Hydrating - I wasn't expecting much from the Face Shop, boy was I in for a surprise! This is more of a creamy type instead of an essence type of a mask. The website claims that, "The mask sheet drenched in serum with the pure energy of Lotus Flower moisturizes and gives tired, rough skin a boost of radiance. (Drenched in a smooth serum with oil / Formula without added parabens)."
   
4. LoveMore - Loofah and Aloe Vera Hydrating Mask - Very hydrating and the packaging inside is interesting because they have a double layer packaging which keeps the moisture within the sheet mask. I had the mask on for about a hour and I convinced my aunt in Taiwan to buy me the combo box of the brand which consist of al the "flavors" in this brand.     
5. Dr.G Aqua Collagen Mask - I was coming back from a hot and humid shopping morning and ripped this open when I got home. It calm down my redness and inflammation and last well over a hour. It is a gel collagen mask instead of the regular cotton ones so it locks the moisture in instead of having it drip down your neck constantly. Absolute favorite of mine. I brought two boxes of this so it will last me the entire summer.

SPRING IS HERE AND SO ARE ALLERGIES AND POLLEN!

1. Missha Pure Source Lotus Flower Mask (finally, we see Missha) but some reviewer say that this isn't the best for people with sensitive skin so I will pass on this one.
2. PreLab Skin Energy Vital Up Mask Anti-Wrinkle - gave it to my mom and she loved it. This brand is the one of some brands which sheet masks exactly fit my face (and I don't think I have a big face shape).
3. PreLab Skin Energy Vital Up Mask Aqua - this was drenched in the biggest amount of essence I have ever seen in a sheet mask. I have used sheet masks for a year and this one by far has essence that lasted me for 45 minutes and still had so much essence left. This is the perfect sheet mask for dry skin!  
4. Dermal Charcoal Collagen Essence Mask - I was excited for this brand because of the packaging and my first time using it, but it didn't live up to par. Great for oily skin; sadly it dried up after 15 minutes for me. Not the best for sensitive skin people because it burned a little around my eye area.             
5. The Face Shop Cherry Lips Modeling Gel Patch - It's a lip gel patch. Good if you can not move your lips for some time and breath through your nose. Lips looked better the day after.
6. MyBeautyDiary Rose Essence Moisturizing Mask - I have a soft sport for mask from MyBeautyDiary. It does its job. I'm happy that Beauteque had this mask this month because I didn't pick this up when I was in Taiwan because my luggage could no longer fit and more sheet mask boxes.
7. Mizon Enjoy Vital Up Time Nourishing Mask - Mizon is one of those not well known brands but they have the same effect as the same middle end brands sheet mask.
8. Botanic Farm Natural Energy Tea Tree Mask - I will be saving this one for the summer time due to my combination skin is prone to inflammation and pimples then.
9. Botanic Farm Natural Energy Ginseng Mask - regular mask to me, but if your skin looks dull, you should try this.

Overall, there were likes and dislikes. But the likes are better because I was introduced to the "PreLab" brand which I really enjoyed. I will be buying the whole line of sheet masks soon!
