Skincare Products: Face Masks - Part 1 -

My all time favourite skincare products are Face Masks.. I enjoy applying them and I enjoying seeing the results after I wash them off..

Because I have tried so many face masks, I will divide the Face Masks Review into two parts..

So starting with Korres Face Masks...




This mask is made for oily & combination skin and it is suppose to cleanse your skin and help minimize your pores. It's creamy and it doesn't really harden on your face. After washing it off, I didn't really feel that "cleansed".. It was just ok.. It didn't make much of a difference to my skin.. I use it when I'm not sure which mask to put on..

Would I repurchase? Definitely Not.



This mask is creamier than the Pomegranate mask.. It actually feels like a moisturizer more than a mask.. But I felt better results with this one than the Pomergranate one.. It left my skin looking brighter and fresher.. I got it to help brighten my acne scars, but I don't think it's strong enough for those stubborn marks..

Would I repurchase? No coz I think there's something better out there to help brighten my skin overall including my acne scars.



This is such an interesting mask and it is made for my kinda skin type. Oily Dehydrated Skin. People tend to think Oily skin don't need hydration but they doooo! I have combination skin and this works so well for me. On days when I feel that my skin is more on the drier side, I slap this baby all over my face.. And when I take it off, I'm left with skin that is less thirsty. Like the Wild Rose Mask, this also is very creamy in texture..

Would I repurchase? Yes I would coz I need a hydrating mask in my collection.





Like Korres, TheFaceShop also works with natural products which is what attracted me to the brand in the first place. This is meant to help with the pores and congested skin. I've used it for a while and didn't see results at all in terms of smaller pore size.

It's a clay mask and it dries on your face.. My skin does feel cleaner after I wash it off but nothin special at all..

Would I repurchase? Nope. I actually gave this away to my sister who needed a mask.





I read so many reviews on Mask Sheets but never really understood how they can actually work better than the normal type masks.. So I bought this to see for myself.

Firstly, the sheet did NOT fit my face at all! It was waay too big.. It was uncomfortable.. Secondly, I looked hella scary! =P Thirdly, this Aloe Mask Sheet is meant to soothe and hydrate the skin but it just didn't feel nice at all on my skin.. I didn't feel that the substance on the sheet actually sunk into my skin.. And after takin the sheet off, my skin was just bleh.. Nothing and I mean nothing felt or looked different about my skin.. But to be fair, I tried another sheet mask from the same brand hoping to get some result.. But still nothing..

Would I repurchase? Never. It turned me off all Mask Sheets.



That's all for Part 1

Part 2 coming very soon which will include my all time favourite mask 

So Stay Tuned ;)
