Description

Anti wrinkle sleeping pack that makes your skin smooth and resilient with shape memory moisture membrane of red wine

It comes with a spatula

Directions

After cleansing at night, balance your skin texture with toner. Spread a moderate amount and gently tap to absorb. Do not wipe off. Instead, rinse it off with water the following morning.

I like the packaging

It looks exactly like a wine barrel

The jar is a little transparent (not obvious)

My thoughts

The scent is pretty strong... It smells like grape and the scent of alcohol is quite obvious... It stings my nose a little... lol. I love the texture! It is so fun :) It is exactly like jello. The product slides around pretty easily... When it is left untouched, it will return to its original form fairly quickly. I apply a thin layer on my face. It is easy to spread. It made my skin super sticky so I cannot turn and toss when I sleep... My face is very oily the next morning but after I wash it off with water, my skin is soft and smooth. I wanted to love this product because I love the scent and it is such a fun product but I really hate sticky products... I believe this will last me a long time as I only use a little of the product each time... 

The sleeping pack looks purple-ish

The sleeping pack is slightly tinted with red

Pros

:) No allergic reaction
:) I love the texture (so fun)

:) Easy to spread

Cons

Rating: 3/5

Repurchase: No, I will try some other sleeping packs available in the market
