My thoughts

~PACKAGING~
Packaging looks exactly like the black sugar scrub, cheap and sturdy.
It is a little less hygienic as it did not come with any spatula




~SCENT~
The scent is very strong for me...
I did not really like it... It is not like the other aloe scents I had tried but it definitely smells fresh!




~TEXTURE~
It is mushy and clumpy. I guess those are the aloe pulps...




~PRODUCT~
I used this a few times but was not really impressed. I had a higher expectation after trying the black sugar mask. This did not do the magic like the previous one. It is easy to spread and apply. I do find that it is harder to wash off. This is not bad, really, I guess I set the bar a little too high. It hydrates my skin pretty well and made my skin feels so soft and smooth. No complains because my skin is extra dry. It did what it claims anyway, so how can I be disappointed? LOL. Oh, I like the fact that this mask does not consume a lot of time! That is definitely a plus for me :)

Pros
Makes skin softer and smoother
Provides great hydration
Not time consuming



Cons
Harder to wash off
Strong scent
Not hygienic as product is in a tub without spatula

Repurchase?

Maybe yes, maybe no.

Recommendation?

I do recommend this to those with dry skin
Definitely worth a try for lazy people like me. 

Not suitable for those who are sensitive to scents, I guess

Review: Skinfood Black Sugar Mask Wash Off

Wednesday, November 4, 2015

I heard a lot of great reviews on this black sugar mask long before I decided to buy this...

It took me quite a long time before I finally decided to buy this!

I was not very confident in this brand...

I tried a few products from Skinfood before and I did not like them...

The famous black sugar mask!

My thoughts
I am secretly hoping that this product will not disappoint me >,<

~PACKAGING~
To be honest, I feel that the packaging looks cheap but at least it is sturdy.
It is good that there are English descriptions and directions on the packaging.
It is a little less hygienic as it did not come with any spatula




~SCENT~
The scent is very strong for me...
I did not really like it... It was a little sour (imo)
The scent lingered on my face for the entire 15 minutes... until I washed it off....




~TEXTURE~
The black sugar mask is pretty solid, thick and grainy. It is a little rough for me...
The color is not very appealing to me as well...
It looks super dirty and I did not really want it on my face... lol




~PRODUCT~
I think my room is a little humid so the black sugar melts a little before I started using. It was a little rough on my skin so I wet my face before applying the black sugar mask. I left it on for 15 minutes and wash it off by massaging with lots of water. I still think that the black sugar was rough on my skin. I had to be extremely gentle when using this. I think I kind of massaged a little hard at first which caused some redness on my forehead...

I think this product is quite good as it is a scrub and a mask. 2 in 1 product is great! After washing off the black sugar mask, my skin looks smoother and feels softer. I initially thought my skin would be dry but no. It did not dry out my skin at all! I did noticed a little difference on my pores and blackheads... Somehow my pores were smaller and blackheads seems to have lessen as well... I cannot really believe the result with just one usage... This product is quite awesome!

This product definitely changed my perspective towards the brand!

Pros
Makes skin softer and smoother
Reduce the size of pores and lessen blackheads
Affordable



Cons
Quite rough on skin
Strong scent
Not hygienic as product is in a tub without spatula

Repurchase?

Yes because the products is simply amazing!

Recommendation?

I strongly recommend this to everyone

Not suitable for those with extremely sensitive skin as it is a little rough

Review: SkinFood Thermal Water Mask Sheet

Friday, November 14, 2014

Ok. So this is the review. I'm hoping this will not be sticky. My past experiences with Skinfood Glacier Water Mask Sheet (Cotton) were not very pleasant.

The packaging

Majority of the words are in Korean.

Claims

A cotton sheet mask that hydrates and softens skin with thermal water in a rich, moisturizing serum.

Direction

Leave on for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the mask and stroke gently to absorb surplus serum.

The scent is light. The amount of essence is just good. During the application, I can feel mild stinging sensation. No allergic reaction after removing the mask but my face do not feel comfortable. My face does seem to be hydrated after using the mask.

This is the mask. It is kind of big for my face.

This mask is extremely sticky. Maybe it is one of the stickiest mask I have tried. Lol. When I placed my palm on my face it seems to have stuck there and when I tried to remove my palm my face seems to be sticking to my palm. If you get what I mean. I really hate sticky stuff so I went and rinse it off.

Pros

:) Hydrates my face really well

:) No allergic reaction or breakouts

:) The mask gives a cooling/soothing feel

Cons

:( Extremely sticky after applying mask

:( Mild stinging sensation

Rating: 2/5

Repurchase: No (just because I hate the sticky feeling)

Review: Skinfood Hydro Fitting Yeast Mask Sheet

Thursday, May 15, 2014

Another sheet mask from Skinfood! I am secretly hoping (praying very hard) that it will not be sticky.

The packaging

Look at the essence!

This mask is for pore care. The mask claims to tighten pores with yeast extract.

Directions:

Leave the mask on for 10 to 15 minutes then remove the mask. Stroke gently to absorb surplus serum.

My thoughts:

The mask is very thin. The amount of essence is A LOT!!! There is a faint scent of chemical... not too strong! My face was a little hydrated but it was extremely sticky. At first there was a little tingling effect but not allergic reaction.

Look at the amount on my hand!

The essence is clear and runny

The mask was very big!

Pros

:) Scent  is not too strong

*I cannot think of anything else*

Cons

:( Very very sticky

:( Did not tighten my pore (maybe one use is not enough)

Rating: 0.5/5

Repurchase: No

Review: Skinfood Glacier Water Mask Sheet (Cotton)

Sunday, December 29, 2013

This is the first time I am using Skinfood's product. The mask claims to tone, soothes and hydrates skin. The instruction is to leave on face for 10 to 15 minutes.

The packaging.

Back view

The mask is really cooling. No allergic reaction which is good. My face feels a little hydrated but sticky at the same time. I really do not like the stickiness :(

Pros

:) No allergic reaction

:) The mask gives a cooling/soothing feel

:) Light scent

Cons

:( Not much difference before and after applying mask

:( Very sticky after applying mask

:( The mask is really thick and a little big for my face

Rating: 2/5

Repurchase: No
