[MaskGenie & MaskMaven] - Sheet Mask Battle! Dec'15 Pouch

Mask Genie V Mask Maven

I love sheet masks. I’m not yet quite in the mask a day club, that’s still a luxury not in my budget, but I would if I could!
They make me feel like I’m having a mini facial, and my skin loves it too. It also gives me the chance to customise for how my skin feels that day. Feeling sore, use aloe. Need some brightening, on goes rose or pearl. Redness? That’s a tea tree mask!

With that in mind I looked around for mask subscription services, as I like trying out new things and subscription boxes are one of my favourite things (as shown in the 2015 reflections post here).

There are two main ones that I found which ship to the UK.  Mask Genie, and Mask Maven by Beauteque.

Here’s my comparison review of the two December pouches I received and my recommendations!

[Holika Holika] - Honey Sleeping Pack – Blueberry

Holika Holika Honey Sleeping Pack – Blueberry

It's winter and the most dangerous time of year for skin to get dry and flaky. Which is why I incorporate a sleeping pack into my routine to lock in moisture. While in summer my combo skin does a good enough job of keeping my skin hydrated, even I need a boosting hand in winter. 

I've been trying out different sleeping packs from different brands to try and find the best fit and this is my review of my latest one. The Holika Holika Honey Sleeping Pack!

Mask Review #1 - Holika Holika Baby Silky Foot

Holika Holika Baby Silky Foot!

One of my dreams in life is to be able to shed my skin like a snake, get rid of all the blemishes and scarring and be reborn. Sadly that’s not a realistic dream, and sounds more like the stuff of nightmares. What there is available in the Asian beauty stratosphere are foot sheet masks! These are little booties for your feet which promises renewal and shedding <3 I knew I had to get on board with this! It wasn’t until I received my product that I realised I had a super air head moment. These aren’t the one-shot peeling mask but the moisturising one T.T

Halloween 2015 - Sophie's Make Up

Halloween 2015 – Woodland Fairy

The nights are growing darker, the air is colder and the pumpkin spice lattes are out. That can only mean one thing…. Autumn is upon us and Halloween is here!

Halloween is the time of year when you can get creative with your make up and experiment with all the colours you’d never normally use.

This year I’ve gone with a woodland fairy, and used a mixture of Asian and Western beauty brands to fulfil the fantasy theme.
