Korean Skincare Haul

Hello,

I mentioned last week that a lovely friend of mine brought me back some skincare and cosmetic items from South Korea when she went a few weeks ago. Here is the Haul!

Ohhh la la Some full face sheet  masks and 10 eye patch masks!  I reviewed the eye patches Here!  The green masks is one of the infamous snail serum masks!


And then...
 
Masks from Shara Shara, more snail! And Mung Bean and Collagen and the one I am most excited about Hyaluronic Acid (this helps you retain moisture so it will be awesome in a couple months).
 
 
 
Missha BB Cream!!  Yea haw!  I have wanted this for so long!  Plus some awesome fun samples :)  Can you tell how excited I am for all this stuff - I squeeee every time I look at it!
 
 
And finally a too cool for school eye shadow - it's buttery soft and blends really well.  The color is navy with a turquoise sparkle - perfect for smoky night eyes.
 
And that's it!  The only scary part is I can't read the directions...but a mask is a mask right?!?!  Let's hope!
 
What's your favorite foreign beauty product!

Essential Cellulose Velvet Eye Patch

Hello!

I have a fun product to show you today.  It's part of a big haul of Korean beauty goodies my friend brought me back from Korea!
 
 
I don't know much about the brand AHC but here's what I found out online on their Site -
 
"A.H.C provides high quality professional skincare products, produced with its world-level high technology. It tries to develop high-tech cosmetics such as cosmeceuticals which integrates beauty and science, in order to bring a fundamental care on skin conditions. A.H.C’s products, based on the skin science mechanism, control skin functions and form the most optimized environment for skin to create healthy skin."
 
Well that sounds good!  So I gave them a try after work last night my skin has been feeling kind of tight lately and I get red really easily.
 
 
 
They are just kind of "in" the packet, it's got a lot of extra gel/serum in there and you slide them out.  I couldn't tell which side was the "right" side so I just slapped them on.  They sort of stick to your face, and I left them on tell they "dried" out, about 15 minutes.
 
And here's the Before and After...
 
Can't tell the difference - neither can I!  But it felt different, the area around my eye felt hydrated and smooth.  I have 9 left so I am going to save them up for a week and then try it once a week during the winter season!
 
 
Have you tried eye masks and what was it like?
