WDDT?: Propolis Collagen Essence Mask

Friday, July 29, 2011

Update: I've created a 'WDDT?' label so if you're ever in the mood JUST to see those posts, give it a little clicky and enjoy (though for right now the joy part is a little short-lived).

Today we're going to talk about Asian beauty masks - Korean ones to be exact, as they were the only brand to be had a Vietnamese health store. I can't even remember now where I first learned about them, but at the moment I like to see what's going on at Inside Out Elle, because she is a true connoisseur and can really tell you what's what. The one I tried on Saturday is the Propolis Collagen Essence Mask:

My thoughts?

This mask was really floral. I mean really floral. I could have been holding a bouquet of flowers on my face and been less smelly. I did eventually get used to it though and after that I got to appreciate the soothing nature of the mask and how because of the excess serum it stayed so nicely on the face. Anything I saw concerning its effects is of course just my opinion, but I did think that my skin looked brighter and more even in tone after I removed it. For the price of 3/$5 it was definitely worth it and I'd probably repurchase. And now? Time for

FUNNY FACE!
