Lush Lip Scrub Sugar Plum Fairy Review

Please check the expiration date before buying it because I bought my scrub around the 17th Nov?! There isn't a whole lot of time before the expiration date lol.. even if I use it daily.

It smells really good and it works! You might have to re do it a few times if you have really chapped lips.

It doesn't hurt that it tastes good, but no I didn't swallow it lol... It works and smells good, but the only con is that it has a shorter shelf life.

Lululun One Night Mask Review

I have used Lululun masks in the past, but not particularly impressed. I decided to try this one because it's supposed to remove dead skin cells while providing moisture. The mask felt soft and super super saturated with serum. I left this on for 20-25 minutes, but there was still A VERY GOOD AMOUNT of serum on my face. Normally it should be dried up a bit by now. I didn't see any major effects, but this felt quite nice on my face and didn't feel heavy. I have combination skin, and I have to be careful with what kind of sheet masks I use if I don't want to breakout. This didn't break me out, so I think I might give this another shot.

200 yen in Japan, but I think 5 bucks in the US.

SHISEIDO Elixir sleeping gel face pack review

I have read a lot of positive reviews on this product, so I wanted to try and this is my first time trying a sleep pack. It has a faint scent to it and it didn't bother me as much. I have sensitive senses, and this passed the scent test for me. The texture of it is slimy and gooey. The slimy texture stays that way until you wash it off. I can't imagine myself falling asleep with this without putting a towel on top of my pillow. I have only left this on my face for a few hours the most, but it does its job very well at moisturizing. I just bought the skin moisture checker from Japan recently, and this showed that my skin's moisture level went up significantly after using this product. The price is fair for the brand! I mean it is Shiseido after all. I got this jar for 38.99 USD on ebay from a seller in Japan. Lastly, this also DIDN'T break me out. I have sensitive combination skin that's prone to acne. They also provided the consumer with a free spatula to use.

Belulu works. This is probably considered to be a obsolete model in Japan, but it works. I recently saw that Phillips JUST launched a similar product and you can record your results through their FREE app. However, I am cool with this BELULU one. I have tested it on a few people and it seems pretty accurate.

La Mer The Hydrating Facial Sheet Mask Review

For $45 a sheet, this must be used once a week or during super dry times. The design of this mask is nicer than most average sheet masks you get from Sephora or Japanese sheet masks.

You get two pieces. One for the top section and one for the bottom section of your face. You will notice that this mask is NOT drenched with serum like the ones you get from Asia.It is NOT STICKY or has that gel like texture like the usual ones. The texture of the mask itself is definitely thick and soft, but the serum feels like skin lotion from Asia. The serum doesn't have any sticky texture, it feels very normal and I expected the mask to dry up pretty quickly because it wasn't drenched. The mask was still very moist after 20 minutes on my face. My face kept nice after using, but not a huge change for me. 

The material of this mask is very thick and soft. Another difference from the cheaper masks you get from Japan or Sephora. I give this mask a 3/5 because it is pricey and didn't exceed my expectation. I have combination skin and this didn't break me out.

Information from La Mer's website:

"Unfold upper mask and apply to top half of cleansed face. Avoid direct contact with the eyes. Apply lower mask to lower half of the face. Rest with mask on for 8 minutes, then remove and discard. Massage residual treatment gently into skin and follow with your La Mer regimen"
