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.

Leaders Amino Clearing Mask - I think this was the first time that I've used Leaders and it is very thick in essence in its gel mask. My face did look more brighten throughout the day.
NOHJ Golden Modelling Foil Mask - everytime I use gold as a sheet mask, I think of radiance.
Shelim Ultra Hydrating Essence Mask - firms and elasticity; very watery with its essence.
NOHJ SuperFood Broccli Mask - moisturizing and a favorite of mines
Botanic Farm Natural Energy Avocado Mask - moisturizing
TonyMoly I'm Real Mask - Tomato - radiance, brighten
FaceQ Luffa Oil Control Mask - oil control
A'pieu Pore Deep Clear Black Charcoal Mask - pores
A'Pieu My Skin--fit Sheet Mask - Lime - brighten and clearing

I'm so happy that they have improved this month as prior to last month. I love the diversity this month.

In theme with Halloween and for some reason this review was stuck in my "drafts" and I just forgot about it.

Nohj Superfood - Honey - this nohj brand is one of my top 5 favorite brands of sheet mask! Always happy to see it in mask mavens.
Tsaio Stayed Up Late Mask- love the name of this sheet mask but if I was a student I would buy it if I saw it in the stores, but I still used it and this black sheet mask felt moisturizing.
Tony Moly Broccoli Mask Sheet - tony moly sheet mask are always a nice one to use when face is dry.
Berrisom Horror Mask - Black Rice (Skull) - I actually saved this and used it on Halloween and I was so tempted to walk outside in the middle of the night and scare some people haha.
Ariul 7 Day Mask - Pomegranate - new brand to me but sheet mask was quite mediocre. Help with anti-aging is always a plus.
Ariul 7 Days Mask - Tea Tree - same.
Esfolio - Bird's Nest Essence - Interesting that esfolio came out with a bird's nest one.
My Beauty Diary - Caviar - my beauty diary was a cult favorite in Taiwan and I still reach for them one in a while. However, to have caviar as one of them is quite interesting.

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.

TonyMoly Fruit Princess Gloss 1 Strawberry

TonyMoly Fruit Princess Gloss 1 Strawberry

Besides the packaging, I'm not sure what's so great as this lip gloss product. It's sticky and not the best look on the lips. I applied it on top of lip tint when dried and it was ok. The type of material that's best to describe this is those cheap lip gloss that we would use when we were in primary school. Life is too short for not using the best lip gloss!

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!
