[THE FACE SHOP] Home Aesthetic Purifying Egg White Pack (peel off)

Different korean cosmetic brands released skin care products with egg white which shall reduce pores size. I got some things as well, like those egg white soaps and egg face masks. I don't eat eggs but I like to use products containing it! I noticed that Asian countries got more sheet masks than mud or peel off masks and so I was happy when I found the Home Aesthetic Purifying Egg White Pack (peel off) from [THE FACE SHOP].

This peel off mask is recommended for all skin types, especially combination/ oily skin!

From the Home Aesthetic line are also available:

- Smooth Seaweed Pack (pore tightening & minimizing excess sebum)

- Fresh Cucumber Pack (revitalizing & deep moisturizing)

- Firming Honey Pack (hydrating, soothing & firming)

- Hydrating Milk Pack (hydrating, softening & brightening)

- Clarifying Potato Pack (clarifying)

Description: Century-proven home remedy skincare tips are now made into easy convenient packs. Skip the troubles of preparing and enjoy even better result.  

Purifying Pores! Deep cleansing peel-off mask eliminates impurities and accumulated oil from the pores promoting a cell renewal.

The Purifying Egg White Pack comes in a 120ml tube which is milky white translucent. The sticker on the front has a pic of an egg (egg yolk & egg white) on it. The whole description is written in korean only.

The tube got a white flip-top lid!

I found the following informations online:

Peel-off face pack transforms into a pliant, rubbery mask that hugs every curve and angle of your face to unclog pores and lift away skin-dulling dead skin cells to reveal vibrant and brighter looking skin.

The ingredients are all written in korean and I hardly can read it. But there is 1% Egg White Extract inside!

The sticky gel-like consistency has a whitish color and a strong scent. I can't describe the scent - it smells kinda chemical/ alcohol-like and I noticed a similar scent on other peel off masks before.

It's not too easy to get the product out of the tube coz of the small hole plus, the sticky texture makes it hard to spread over my face. The peel off mask dries up fast and can be removed without problems!

After peeling off the mask my pores are looking smaller and my face is smoother and more matte. These effects are just temporarily, though! 

How to use: After cleansing and toning, apply the pack all over your face avoiding eye and mouth area. Wait 10~15 minutes, or until it completely dried up, then peel it off from upperside to downside. 

Price: around 10,- €/ US$13
Bought at: eBay (hsckoreanimports)    

What I love:  

It makes my pores smaller and my face smoother and less oily!

What I don’t like: 

The strong scent and it's a bit hard to apply on the face coz of the small hole and its stickiness.

Will I buy this again? No!! I try out other masks!

[Holika Holika] Premium Sheep Milk Yogurt wash off pack *green tea*

I received a new face mask which I wanted to try out since I saw it a few month ago. The Premium Sheep Milk Yogurt wash off pack from [Holika Holika] is a moisturizing face mask. It is available with wild berries and green tea. I had some problems to find english informations about this product but now I know that wild berry has a refreshing effect and green tea a brightening effect. I decided to get green tea because it shall make a bright and clean skin. Both masks are good for dry skin!

Description: Highly moisturizing wash off type yogurt pack including nutrition-enriched sheep milk.

The (glass) jar contains 75ml, got a cute sticker with a sheep and green tea on it and has a metal/ aluminium lid.

The white cover underneath the lid protects the product again.
The Sheep Milk Yogurt wash off pack with green tea contains Sheep Milk Extract (75mg), Yogurt Powder (75mg) and Green Tea Extract (75mg).

The consistency is rather creamy and got a greenish color. It smells like green tea which isn't a really new scent for me. I'm pretty sure I got another product with a similar scent.
Compared with other mud masks this yogurt mask doesn't get dry after applying it to my face. 

It gets a bit absorbed by my skin only!

I will use this wash off pack when my skin is very dry coz it moisturizes quite well. My skin is less dry and flakey afterwards! It works a bit like the Yogurt Wash-off Pack from [ETUDE HOUSE]. Good for hot days as well!!

How to use: After washing your face, apply skin toner, pour the right amount and apply the product throughout your face except for near your eyes and mouth, and wash it off after 5~10 minutes with warm water.
DO NOT EAT THE CONTENT! 

Price: around 13,- €/ US$17
Bought at: eBay (BELLOGIRL) 

What I love: 
It does moisturize my skin well.

What I don’t like:  

There is nothing I dislike atm.  

Will I buy this again? I don't think so, but if I will buy it again then the wild berry one.

[Holika Holika] MEDI-MEDI Acetyl Pack *AC Clearing wash-off mask*

Do you listen to K-Pop?!? Yesterday I went to the 'BEAUTIFUL SHOW' WORLD TOUR from Korean Boygroup BEAST (B2ST).

It was amazing! I liked their show even though I didn't know many of their songs before. I got their music but I have so much that I can't listen to everything. But I loved 'FICTION' and finally I listen to all CD's they released so far!! They are great!!

On twitter I got asked if I can review the MEDI-MEDI Acetyl Pack from [Holika Holika]. So, I will write a short review about this AC Clearing wash-off mask now. This mask is specially made for acne-prone skin.

Description: Special Prescription for the unfortunate acne skin type!

Salicylic Acid helps to make a clean and clear skin by remarkably soothing skin troubles.

It contains Salicilyc Acid 3,000ppm.

Like the MEDI-MEDI Magnesium Pack the Acetyl Pack comes in a white round plastic container and contains 70ml. The lid is pink with a second cover underneath.

The AC Clearing mask has a creamy consistency and is pinkish-gray. The scent is quite strong but that doesn't bother me. I apply the mask with a brush to my face. A thin layer is enough!

The Acetyl Pack contains Acetylsalicylic Acid that is a main ingredient of Aspirin (pain killer). I heard that Aspirin is good for acne-prone skin coz it cleans the blood from inside. In the mask it shall reduce the pores size, too.

To see good results you have to use the mask 1~2 times a week. I got too many other face masks, therefore I use it maybe just 1~2 times a month!! My face looks cleaner after using it but that's all. I think I really use it too seldom.

How to use: After washing your face apply a toner onto your face. Softly apply the Acetyl Pack on your skin (except eyes and mouth) and rinse it off after 10~15 minutes.

Price: around 13,- €/ US$16   
Bought at: eBay (BELLOGIRL)   

What I love: 
The creamy consistency makes it easy to apply on my face.   

What I don’t like:  

There is nothing I don't like yet. 

Will I buy this again? I would coz I like the MEDI-MEDI masks.

[SKINFOOD] Acorn Jelly Mask

Happy New Year 2012!!

Exactly 1 year ago I celebrated New Year's Eve in Taiwan with my boyfriend. Time goes fast!! 

Anyway, I'm getting busy from now on therefore I can't write a review everyday.

For the last time in 2011 I wanna review 2 products: One of them is the Acorn Jelly Mask from [SKINFOOD]. This wash-off mask is good for people with oily skin and large pores.

Description: A mask pack that effectively tightens oil-clogged enlarged pores and exfoliates layers of dead skin cells with powdered acorns from Jiri-mountain.

The Mask comes in a (glass) jar and contains 100g. It has a brown plastic lid and the product description is written on that small booklet. Under the lid is another translucent plastic cover to protect the product.

The Acorn Jelly Mask comes with a small spoon/ spatula which makes it easier to take out the product. It has a brown, jelly-like consistency and becomes more watery when I massage it on my skin. The fragrance is very strong and weird. Smells kinda nutty! 

I'm pretty sure that is the scent of acorns.

When I use the mask I massage it over my skin and wait for a few minutes before I wash it off again. Some people say it starts to burn on their skin and that they can barely wait for 1 minute. I don't have that problem, though.
I'm not really sure how the product shall work in such a short time but my pores looking a little bit smaller and some dead skin cells are removed as well. 

How to use: After washing, apply an ample amount onto the face and massage gently.
Leave for 1 minute, and then rinse off with lukewarm water. 

Price: around 12,- €/ US$16 

Bought at: eBay (zinopark) 

What I love:   

There is nothing I really love! 

What I don’t like: 
The scent is weird but thats almost all.   

Will I buy this again? No, I won't! 

I also got a Sample of the Acai Berry Mask which I will review fast, too:

Description: A mask pack that quenches thirsty dry skin with abundunt moisture in the extract of Acai Berries from the Amazon jungle. 

This Acai Berry Mask is good for dry skin and comes as full-size in the same design as the Acorn Jelly Mask. 

It has a gel-like consistency which is slightly pink/ reddish with some red/ brown granules inside. These granules peel your skin plus, it smells like berries!

After using this Mask my skin felt smoother.

How to use: After washing, apply an ample amount onto a damp face and massage gently. Leave for 5 minutes, and the rinse off with lukewarm water.

[Holika Holika] MEDI-MEDI Magnesium Pack *Pore Cleaning*

I own a few Face Masks and most of them are for pore care or trouble skin care. Two of the masks are from the MEDI-MEDI Pack line by [Holika Holika]. I found them super interesting and had to try them out (of course)!

There are 3 different types available:

- Acetyl Pack (AC Clearing wash-off mask)

- Magnesium Pack (Pore Cleaning wash-off mask)

- VitaC Pack (Skin Brightening wash-off mask)

I purchased Acetyl and Magnesium and start with the Review from the Magnesium Pack.

This one is good for those people with oily skin. It removes sebum and has a pore minimizing effect.

Description: Magnesium derived from volcanic ashes helps to make a clean and smooth pores by controlling excessive oil and sebum. It makes fresh and baby skin by containing Magnesium 1,000ppm.

Use it instead of clay masks because clay mask is able to clog pores. Clay does not have desinfection or soothing effect but Magnesium Pack has them.

The product comes in a white round container with a green lid. It's not a really big container but there are still 70ml inside.

When you twist off the lid there is another cover to protect the product from coming out.

The Magnesium Pack has a green/greyish color and a thick & creamy consistency. 

The scent is okay, too.

There is no spoon or spatula included, so I apply the pack with a Pack Brush to my face. Otherwise you have to use your fingers but make sure that they are clean.

With the brush I can apply the pack very easy. When it gets dry I wash it off with warm water. 
My face is brighter and smoother afterwards. It also looks cleaner. I like it!

How to use: After cleansing and toner, apply it to all over your face except the eye and lip area. About 10 ~15 minutes later, wash your face with lukewarm water clearly. 

*Use 1~2 times a week

Price: around 13,- €/ US$16
Bought at: eBay (BELLOGIRL)  

What I love:  

My face looks cleaner and feels softer after I washed the pack off.

What I don’t like:
There is nothing I don't like. Maybe just that there is no spoon/ spatula included.

Will I buy this again? It will last for a long time but I would.

[ETUDE HOUSE] MISSING U Bee Happy! *Wash Off Pack*

Recently [ETUDE HOUSE] and [SKINFOOD] were releasing product lines with honey. I found that interesting so I had to get something of these!

One item I got was the Wash Off Pack from the new MISSING U Bee Happy! line. Actually I ordered the Sleeping Pack coz I just own two of these but I received the Wash Off Pack which is also fine.

The Pack contains Honey Extract, Macadamia Seed Oil, Olive Oil and Prunella Vulgaris Leaf Extract.

Description: It's scent which is honey circle floral is so sweet, and pack which includes honey concentrate will smoothly spread out into your skin and protect your skin layer. Specialized honey dosage form will make your skin brighter and moisturized.

The Wash Off Pack contains 100ml and comes in a translucent container which got stripes like a bee. The lid is dark brown! There was a thin plastic cover over the product but I removed it already.

The product itself has a thick and sticky consistency like honey. It's yellowish with a nice scent. 

I apply the Pack with a Pack Brush (also bought from ETUDE HOUSE) to my face and the consistence becomes more watery. Probably because of my body temperature?!

After I removed the product again my face felt smoother! I don't know if my skin got brighter, though. As a Caucasian my skin is pale enough I guess. Anyway, I use this Wash Off Pack when my skin feels dry.

How to use: Take a proper amount and spread it over your face. Wait 10~15 minutes and then wash off with lukewarm water.

Price: around 13,- €/ US$17

Bought at: eBay (rubyruby76)

What I love:
The smell + the smooth feeling after washing off the pack.

What I don’t like:
It's so sticky!!

Will I buy this again? I don't think so! Maybe the Sleeping Pack I wanted to have.
