Innisfree Sheet Masks Review

Hello again my angel cupcakes ^^, 



It's been so tiring lately even though its only the second week back to school. Maybe its the lack of sleep from staying up late watching drama's >.<, but either way, its doing both my study and skin no good. Having school and sleeping late has been causing break outs and dry skin issues lately and it really annoys me as i've got bad skin and on top of that, more acne and peeling :\



Because of these awful skin conditions, i decided to try out some sheet masks which i received from a friend of mine. I don't usually like to use masks as people have always told me they'll make bad skin conditions, even worse than they already are (and also because of the fact that whenever i go to colourmix or Sasa, i'm always being followed and asked to buy mask products by annoying sales assistances, so i refused to buy them), but since someone offered a big box of sheet masks (korean branded as well) it was pretty hard to resist to not touch it :) 


So the box set came with around 10 sheet masks of all different flavours? (Warning: A lot of photos below) 



 Adlay Sheet Mask 

 Tea Tree Mask 

 Real Aloe Mask

 Oatmeal mask

 Green Tea Mask

Honey Mask 

Lemon Lime Mask

 Kiwi Mask

 Cucumber Mask

 Bamboo Mask

 Berry Mask

 Rice Mask

Pomegranate Mask

Review: Well overall, i've only tried two of the masks because i haven't had the time to put them on. The first one that i tried was the Avocado sheet mask which i forgot to take a picture of. I have to say, that mask was amazing stuff. It was packed with water and nutrients, it felt so good when it was on my skin. I felt instantly refreshened after about 10 minutes the mask had been on my face. The size was perfect fit with my face and the texture of the mask was wet and soft which was great for sensitive skin. Although probably the only issue was that because it was so packed with water, the product actually started to drip down my face, but that was okay because i was lying down so it didn't make much of a mess (nothing a tissue can't fix ^^). I have to say it also smelt really nice and i didn't want to take it off. But i was a bit dissapointed with the adlay mask because it wasn't as wet and after i had the mask on for about half an hour my skin didn't feel as satisfied as the avocado mask.... but overall i was very happy with the avocado mask and i will keep experiementing with the other "flavours". 
Overall product rating: 8/10 (face felt refreshed which was good!) 

 
I would definitely purchase this brand of masks again because the results were completely satisfying! 

See you on my next post,
Take care x

Sally Hansen Salon Effects: Real Nail Polish Strips




Its the beginning of the school holidays, and we all know this means time for shopping. So i'm the type of person who likes to try and experiment with drug store products rather than expensive branded make up. This is because sometimes i think that drugstore products might actually be better quality than those from expensive branded stores (And maybe because its a tad lot more expensive). 

So i was just shopping around at Target which offers many different brands of cosmetic products at a, what you could call, inexpensive price. I was mainly looking for nail products although the 25% off all foundations and eye products were rather tempting to look at as well. I was instantly dragged to the Sally Hansen section because its probably one of the best drugstore nail brand. Nail polish was what i was really searching for, but this product caught my eye. It was the Sally hansen Salon effect: Real Nail Polish Strips.



At first i wasn't really sure what it was, but after a look around i realised they were easy stick on nails pieces. It looked fun and easy to use so i picked one up, it doesn't have a name for the colour (at least i don't think so) but, i could say its in a denim colour. Plus it was on special for only around $6. 



It actually came in a set,the nails, a mini file and buffer as well as a cuticle stick. The only down side about this package is that they aren't reusable and they only include 16 nail strips which is only enough for one nail treatment with 6 leftovers which i actually don't know what to do with.

Here are some photos: 




So technically you just peel the plastic adhesive sticker off the nails and then just place it onto your nails.And then using the buffer, buff off the leftovers and you're done! It says on the packaging that it can last for 10 days. I haven't had it on for 10 days yet but on the second day i could already see it peeling and ripping, but maybe its just because i didn't apply it properly? *Shrugs*



You can see the resemblance between the denim jeans and the nail polish.
I would definitely recommend this product and i would definitely buy this again, except, if it wasn't on special, it is fairly pricy for nail strips that can only be used once! But on the good side, if you are in a rush and you don't want to walk out of the house with bland nails, this is your product!
