Sheet Masks: My Scheming and Papa Recipe

Image
MY SCHEMING My Scheming is a Taiwanese brand and they have a large selection of sheet masks, not just of different formulas, but also different types of sheets. I bought all of mine on eBay, seller house_of_fashion.2013 with whom I have great experience. Prices for most are $1.80, some are $2.03 and Hello Kitty version is $2.47. Classic Series Moisturizing Facial Mask  Skin Clarifying Astringent This one is praised as a saviour for skin with breakouts and problems with excessive oiliness. I got it just in case my skin has a freak-out, so that's when I used it. Fit & Sheet : The classic series has a pretty standard sheet, material isn't stated in English on the pack, but I think it's cotton that's thin, but not utra thin like some sheet masks. The fit isn't bad on my petite face, just a bit big in the lower part, as a majority of sheet masks I've tried. Essence : is very light, as expected for such a mask and it's absorbed quickly. At all My Scheming mask...

BEYU Beauty Queen Volume Mascara   One of my favourite mascaras and one I was going to repurchase until I saw the price and then moved swiftly towards the Essence stand. But I still miss it. It's an all-in-one mascara, so gives me volume, length, it defines ok, manages to keep my lashes semi-lifted, so I actually look like I have lashes and it's easy to remove. It's just a great mascara. Repurchase: Yes , when I come to terms that if I want a nice mascara again, I'll have to pay 12 €. MAX FACTOR Voluptuous False Lash Effect Mascara  This was my second tube despite the even higher price tag than Beyu (why do drugstore mascaras have to be so expensive?! 7 € is the limit in my opinion). It's another all-in-one mascara with a very similar effect as Beyu, it's just a bit more defining due to the plastic brush. Usually such mascaras don't give much volume, but this truly great at creating big voluminous lashes. However, the other reason apart from the price as to ...

SECRET KEY Starting Treatment Essence  Rose This was a sample 30 ml size (bought two for 6$) and it lasted me about two months because I was applying it with hands instead of cotton pads. While I was using it, my skin was nicely balanced, smooth and more healthy looking. I still got an occasional spot, but that's life. In general I've found essences are fantastic and they were instrumental in improving the condition of my skin. The first one I tried was COSRX Galactomyces whose results were so mind blowing I immediately started exploring these essences and which to try next. So far I still think COSRX's is the best for the price, but I loved SU:M 37 's essence too.  Repurchase: Maybe. I still have one bottle and samples of COSRX, after that I'll decide which one I'll buy. ESTEE LAUDER Advanced Night Repair Synchronised Recovery Complex II I'm sad to see this ran out, it's one of the best skin care items I've ever tried. Due to its tear-inducing pric...
