6 and 7 - Esfolio Pure Skin Essence Snail and Pearl -  I previously have brought these sheet masks while I was in Taiwan and I like them. I'm happy that I got the pearl one cause I loved that one.

8 - My Beauty Diary Tranexamic Acid Treatment Mask - it's great for people that wasn't a brighter complexion.

Date Shipped: June ?? No idea - Package came before tracking number was emailed to me.
Date Arrived: June 15

Summertime means eating alot of treats and laying around!

1. HolikaHolika Cover Hiding Concealer No. 2-  I remember getting the saem concealer within this year of BB bags and liked it so hopefully this one doesn't disappoint because I'm used to liquid concealer so look forward to future reviews on this product.
2. The Saem - Chocopie Hand Cream - I'm looking forward to taking this out of my bag and trick people in thinking that this is a hand cream instead of a cookie haha.
3. SkinFood Black Sugar Mask - I finally got my hands on this product. This is one of those products where I wanted to try but didn't want to buy the full-sized product if I didn't like it.
4. HolikaHolika Dessert Time Lip Balm - Lemon - I don't like the favor of Lemon so I will be giving this away to my sister, but lip balms are best to put in your handbag during the summer to avoid chapped lips.
5. PureDerm Vital Radiance Hair Mask - Honey - I'm glad I got Honey this time. I have used this before from Beauteque and these make your hair feels reaqlly nice and smooth but I wouldn't go out and buy the full size because I rather buy conditioner and rinse it out after 5 minutes instead of waiting in the shower for 15 minutes for this product to do its job.
6. Beauty Blending Sponge in Pink - Just in time because I was about to throw out my Sephora blending sponge.

Individual reviews coming soon!

General Haul #11 - TesterKorea #7

I forgot to upload about this haul until 2 months later.

The shipping cost is by how many grams your package weighs and usually I pay from $10-$20.
I haven't gotten any samples in my last 3 packages, but in this package, I received 2 mini bags of samples. Guess they can read my mind.

Date Ordered: August 8
Date Shipped : August 12
Date Arrival : August 24

1. Purederm Age Defying Collagen Mask - 600 won
2. Nature Republic Real Nature Mask Sheets Acai Berry (10) - 8000 won
3. Hera Age Away Intensive Emulsion 120ml - 33,000 won
4. Hera Age Away Intensive Water 150ml - 30,000 won
5. Two packages of samples came with the haul.

The Hera Age Away line caught my eye when they came out with the cushion foundation this past May.  However, the line is best for people's around the age of 35. I was hesitate in buying it because I haven't reach that age yet, but it was on sale so it doesn't hurt to try it and see how it works.

SokoGlam 7 day mask challenge - Review on 7 masks

This was a 7 Day Challenge activity that SokoGlam suggested and it was fun considering that I use sheet mask only twice a week. After 7 days of trying this method out, my skin was much smoother and moisturized.

Day 1 was the Foodaholic Red Ginseng. The scent is very strong for my nose. Anti-aging, my skin did look brighten the next morning. Very snug but I had to strength it out to fit my face. I could only last 10 minutes with this mask before giving up.

 

  

 Day 2 was Nature Republic's Acai Berry sheet mask. This mask fits my face with more room left.  Very moisturizing and filled with essence. I was so happy with the results the next month. This for my favorite of the 7.

  

  

Day 3 - Purederm Age Defying Collagen Masque - suppose to hydrate and get rid of aging. Dries quickly.

  

  

Day 4 - Hanaka Aloe Vera Hyaluronic Acid - it's suppose to be moisturizing and reduce redness and inflammation.  It did reduce my redness and inflammation from the weather outside.

  

  

  

  

Day 5 - TonyMoly Nutra Energy Mask Sheet - energize and moisturize the skin.

Very moisturizing first, but dries very quickly. The essence got into my eye by accident, but the burning sensation was not a happy few minutes.

Day 6 - Face Q Luffa Oil Control Mask - suppose to reduce oil and pores. Good for people with oily skin; didn't do much for me.

  

  

 Day 7 - Beauty Friends II - Kiwi - moisturizing and reduce redness. This sheet mask is great for beginners and young skin, but this wasn't for me and it dries out very quickly. I don't think it absorbed much.

  

  

  

Beauteque August 2015 BB Monthly Bag Treasure Chest + PROMO CODE

Beauteque August BB Monthly Bag review

"Beauteque's Treasure Chest" theme

Date for "Pick me" : July 16, 2015.

Date Shipped : August 15, 2015

Date Arrived : August 19, 2015

Use promo code "ILENE" for a special something (10% OFF) at checkout at beauteque.com and/or beauteque.com/subscriptions.

The retail values can range between $65 to $85 in every BB bag.

I brought it for a year to try it out. 

On July 16, I was able to chose my picks for three items and then on July 29, I got a spoiler email telling me that the 4th product is the Holika holika Wonder Drawing No Smudge Liquid Eyeliner. I was excited when I got the tracking email on August 15 which means that my package will come the next couple of days. 


Cute sea green bag, something related to seaweed in the sea with the treasure chest theme. But the outside material of the green bag was a bit on the cheap side because the ink of a card that was stuck on the green bag damaged the outside of the bag. It took 4 alcohol pads to remove the ink from the bag.

  

1. Mizon All in One Snail Repair Cream
2. Purederm Hair Mask - first choice was Jojoba, then Chamomile and then Honey.
3. The Saem Cover Perfection Tip Concealer - first choice of Natural Beige 1.5 was given to me.
4. Holika holika Wonder Drawing No Smudge Liquid Eyeliner
5. Hanaka V-line chin pack
6. Purederm clean and fresh peeling gel
7. O'Palis Facial Oil Blotting Paper 
8. A sheet mask because I have the month-to-month subscription. 

I was happy about the Mizon snail repair cream because I have the regular size product in my bathroom closet and was happy that I can put this product in my bag on the go. It's a gel-like textured cream. It firms, tightens and repairs scarring on my skin. 

 

I have heard about the hair mask, but never got the guts to buy one and try. It seems like an ultra conditioner, it is very thick. It looked like glue at first, but it combs through your hair very smoothly. I won't recommend this for fragile hair or oily hair because strands of my hair kept falling off. There was a peppermint tinkling feeling on my head when applied-don't know if that is a good thing. But my hair did feel soft for a couple of days. Another reason way I subscribed to Beatueque so I can be introduced to new things like this peeling gel which is good to carry-on for traveling. I like being surprised with goodies that I never tried before.

This concealer came in time because I was thinking about getting either a highlighter or cc cream. Now I can use this for a month or two before making a decision to purchase more makeup.

  

I finished my maybelline master liquid eyeliner and my new sephora gold eyeliner wasn't doing the job for me, so this product also came just in time. The sephora eyeliner kept coming off when you rub your eyes gently and waterproof it was not. This holika holika seems to do the job, but it also keeps falling off when I used it a couple times. I gave up using it after 2 times. 

I needed something for my slowly existing and visible double chin, so the V-line came just in time. Plus I like the "Alice in Wonderful" theme for the packaging. 

  

I had purchased a set of Korean blotting papers before this month BB bag arrived on my doorstep. However, Beauetque offered a Chinese brand so let's see how this works.

This month is very travel-friendly which is good so I can stock up for my trip soon.

Beauteque Mask Maven August 2015 bag + PROMO CODE

Beauteque August Mask Maven review

Beauteque's "Acne and Pores" theme

Date Shipped : August 11

Date Arrived : August 17

Use promo code "ILENE" for a special something (10% OFF) at checkout at beauteque.com and/or beauteque.com/subscriptions.

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. 

  

I was surprised that my Mask Maven came before my BB bag. I was happy to see a pink bag with all the masks inside. This month had 9 masks all surrounds the 'Acne and Pores' theme. I was delighted because I have pore problems. This bag had a mix of Taiwanese and Korean masks.

The first two masks are from Purederm- one is Strawberry Yogurt Mask Pack and the other is a Deep Cleansing Peeling Gel. 

The deep cleansing peeling gel is a sort of mask that's different than the ones I normally use. I never used something without a sheet involved from a package for one time usage. After 10 minutes This definitely left my skin feeling softer. The amount of product in one deep cleansing peeling gel is enough for your face, it was definitely an exfoliation and I felt all my dead skin cells coming off resulting in my skin feeling extra smooth. I think this one will be good for both males and females because it doesn't have a scent to it. I applied essence right after using this product. I'm saving the strawberry one to use when I travel.

  

Next two are from one of my favorite two Taiwanese brand, My Beauty Diary and FaceQ. The FaceQ is an oil control mask, where it remove dirt and my skin impurities and it look like it improved my skin metabolism. The Beauty Diary one was a citrus firming aroma mask and it balanced my skin oil content and hydrated my skin. This one is best for people with oily skin.   

  

  

Back to the infamous Korean brand of Beauty Friends II, I was given the kiwi and green tea flavor. Both hydrated, firmed and soothe my skin. The material of this mask was surprising thicker than the ones from Hanaka brand.

  

  

Next two are loaded with a lot of essence, they are the Esfolio Volcanic Water Essence Mask sheet and SNP Troubled Skin Care Essence sheet mask. For those who are familiar with the volcanic clay should know that it cleans out your pores very well, so I was excited to try out this volcanic water essence mask. Your skin does feel cleaner afterwards and it claims that this essence can prevent you from breaking out. I think this is a good mask to use after you eat fried foods. The SNP helps you heal from troubled skin, especially those who are suffering from the period of adolescent and bad skin. This mask has a medicated scent which I'm not fond of, plus the essence never dries out after a hour of leaving it on my face.

  

 

  

Last but not last is from the Taiwanese brand, Hanaka, with the oil control which helps with anti-acne, anti-aging and oil control. And I added another Hanaka sheet mask because my previous pictures have two masks per picture and I thought this one would feel lonely.

  

Overall, I'm delighted that this August Mask Maven dealt with pores and acne to close off this summer. All you know during summer when the temperatures are hot, we suffered from oil and bacteria and breakouts so this bag helped me. Thank you.
