I was attracted to this particular mask because I've never used a hydrogel mask before and the picture looked so weird.  TonyMoly has yet to let me down but I wasn't sure what to expect from this one.  Let's hop right into the review.

The packaging was bigger than my face, it's massive!! 

If it weren't for the pictures, I would have no idea how to use this mask. Even though it's applied just like your standard sheet mask, it does suggest you leave it on for 20-40 minutes which is longer than the suggested time on your regular sheet mask.

So on the back it tells you what the mask is supposed to do for your skin, the ingredients as well as the directions.  It's supposed to make your skin look clear and transparent.  I'm not sure how the transparent part works, maybe they mean clean?  Silly Koreans.

I wasn't sure what to expect mask wise and didn't know whether it was going to be what the picture on front showed.  Turned out that it actually was.  Hello creature from Saw.

Even though you just apply this like any other standard sheet mask, because it is more gel based than others I found this to be more flimsy and sticky than any other sheet mask.  This should be put on in a room with no fan blowing or any type of wind blowing your way.  When it's on I would also suggest laying down as it is heavy for a sheet mask and will keep it in place longer instead of standing up or walking around would.So after about half an hour I decided to take it off and rinse.  I didn't notice any immediate results but after I freshened up I did notice my skin to be lighter and have less blemishes.

Pros

• Cheap price
• Subtle smell
• Skin brightening

Cons  

• Sticky
•  Heavy  

For my first time trying a hydrogel mask I can't say I was seriously impressed nor was I disappointed.  Once I can get the hang of using them and get the full effect I'm sure I'll grow to love them more and more. I bought mine at roseroseshop for a fairly decent price.  You can probably get this on amazon, ebay or the actual tonymoly website.

I was happy to see that August's Beauteque bag came with a couple products from a single brand. Because I haven't used any of these brands I figured I'd write about them as I use them!

Han Aka

Starting with Han Aka.

 

This face mask is called Black Rose Acne Fighting mask.

Those eyes just make the whole packaging.  Honestly, I didn't want to use it because of that reason.

Before doing any type of research whatsoever I decided to just jump right into it.

 

This is something fairly new to me and that it's also in a gel form as well.  If you're looking for a lovely smelling mask, this is not the one for you!  It was super strong and almost smelled like minty tar-if that even makes sense.
When you're doing this mask be sure to have all of your hair securely fastened on your head for no stray-aways as it is super messy!   It got in my hair during application and was next to impossible to get out dry without pulling my hair out.
I left it in for about half an hour then started peeling. OUCH!  I swear I just put tar on my face, holy we have some serious sticking powers here.  After it was all said and done, I had pulled out more facial hair than anything.  With that being said, I did notice that it made my skin fairly soft, my pores really clean and my skin a little lighter. This is really not what I'm looking for in a mask considering I'm trying to get a tan! eek!
On a better note: Even though this is a peel-off mask, I strongly do not recommend peeling it off but using warm water on a face cloth and rubbing in a circular motion.  This will remove the face mask fast and effectively without pulling facial hair out.

 While I was peeling, I noticed that the mask had made holes.  I found this to be quite odd and didn't understand it at all. 

I had to use a cooling mask shortly after because peeling it off had made my skin really hot.

I've never tried a mask quite like this before so it is something new.

Since the mask attaches on the ears, I was worried that it might slip off.  It turns out that this is certainly not the case and goes on very well.  It's stretchable too so it will fit any face shape and stay on.  Leaving it on for about 20 minutes then rinsing off, of course.
Other than being a different kind of face mask, I didn't notice much more difference from regular masks.  It did however, make my skin more elastic and toned up which is a great thing!  This was a great mask to try out but I can't see myself going out of my way repurchasing it.

Purederm

In the Beauteque box I had received a hair mask, oo my favorite!  Needless to say I was pretty excited in trying it out.  This mask in particular is for damaged, frizzy, or curly hair which suits perfect for my frizzy and curly hair.
This has a strong fresh smell of mint and chamomile, it was actually quite lovely.

Oops, I got off the how to use on the bottom.  It's pretty straight forward anyway.  The main part I wanted to catch was the description which I did.  The entire back has the same write-up but in different languages!  How do you even repair curly hair?  I don't think curly hair needs repairing, but okay.  You will help maintain a healthy appearance? That sounds much better, I'll take it!

So we got the texture of a cream.  The whole 20ml was a pretty good amount for my length of hair, it all blended in fairly well and is soaking into my hair nicely as well.  It will probably be fully absorbed come morning!
The results from the hair mask had made my hair really moisturized, shiny looking and soft.  Nothing stands out with this mask but at the same time nothing turned me away from it either.  I would definitely use this again if it came in another box!

First thing I would like to say about this mask is since it says it's a peeling gel mask and the picture looks as though it hardens onto your face and you peel it off.  Because of this, it was quite the shock when the texture wasn't what I expect from a peel off mask whereas it was more liquidy.  I used a thin layer and left it on my face for 15-20 minutes.  You can either leave the mask on or gently rub it off in a circular motion within 3-5 minutes with similar results if you're on a time restriction.  A great thing about this mask is it smells like a juice, I could literally just drink this forever if it was. With this mask, it is re-sealable and re-usable.  With that being said, you can get approximately 4-5 uses out of this mask!

Hey guys!  Today I will be sharing my thoughts on the second Scrub Massage pack from Etude House in the option of Soy Bean.  You can view my first review from this line here, the Coconut Oil gel formula.

 The main goal with the Soy Bean is to make sure that the skin has been firmed.   With this being said, it feels like more of a moisturizing cream as it is so creamy and smooth.

This particular Spoon Scrub is a cream-like texture.  It smells quite sweet and goes on like a moisturizer.  At first I didn't think there was enough product in one packet for my entire face but Etude House came through in the end. So after applying it in circular motion with one finger, evenly throughout, I just waited 20-30minutes and then hopped in the shower to rinse it off.  I opted to rub in the rest of the cream before rinsing just to absorb more of the product.

As I was rinsing, I noticed that it had left a protective layer over my skin.  It didn't feel bad or anything, just different.  Even though the cream was so moisturizing it actually did firm my face quite a bit.

Pros

• Convenient packaging
• Cheap
• Nice subtle yet sweet smell
• Absorbed into skin well
• Easy to wash off
• Firming

Cons 

• Should have the option as a container

I can't find anything substantially wrong with this product.  For 3 packs of these which would be 6 applications it is around 3$ which isn't overly expensive nor is it cheap, which is why I put that it should have the choice to purchase in a container or a 'sample size' like these.  Otherwise, this is a great product if you're looking to mix up your facial care.

Hi there PYMUO followers! How is everyone doing today?

Today I will be going over my every day skin care routine. It's super easy. It only has two products and two steps. This is excluding SPF which I highly recommend after you wash your face in the morning! But as we all know, that's beauty care 101 so I don't feel like I should mention it.

The very first product I use is coconut oil. Coconut oil is great for many things such as...

• cracked and dry lips
• softening the skin
• cracked and dry feet
• skins disorders such as psoriasis, acne, and eczema
• treating minor infections

It is also an AMAZING make up remover! Even with extremely dark makeup I don't have to stand in front of the mirror for very long because it is SO effective and cheap (it even takes off your hard to remove mascara!!!).

The second product I use is tea tree oil. Tea tree oil has anti-fungal properties and helps with...

• acne, dark spots, and blemishes
• fungal and bacterial infections 
• minor cuts, wounds, warts, ringworm, insect bites, rashes
• dandruff
• healing piercings
• soothing nickel allergies and other allergic reactions
• cure for dry skin when mixed with a moisturizer

Be careful not to put it around your eye area as it can be a little overwhelming, and never put tea tree oil by itself on your face unless you are tackling a zit or a pimple.

Also, please do not use a lot of coconut oil. Using excessive amounts of coconut oil will make you break out. What I do is gently swipe my finger into the oil, because I found putting too much will suffocate the skin and we don't want excess oil.


STEP ONE

Apply a dime size amount of coconut oil onto the palm of your hand and rub it into your palm. Rub your hands for one second under warm water, then apply to the face. I like to take my time getting every area of my skin, and even my neck. When you put the coconut oil on it will feel like a slippery film is on your face. This is normal.

STEP TWO

Now rinse your face with warm water. I don't rinse as much as I would with a cleanser, as I want some coconut oil to remain on my face.
Pat your face dry. Put one drop of tea tree oil on your palm and rub together. Pat on the face.

And you are done! That is my skin care routine.
After only a week I noticed a huge difference in the way my face looks after using coconut and tea tree oil. These are the things that I notice most:

• super soft skin
• redness in the cheeks are gone
• no breakouts 
• i look less tired
• acne scars slowly fading away
• skin lightening

Play around with the amount of oils needed for your face. Each and every one of us has different skin. I highly recommend this skin care regime, and you can use it on your back, or anywhere else on your body if you have acne! You can also leave out the tea tree oil and just use coconut oil to moisturize your hands, elbows, feet and even really dry hair. Don't be afraid to experiment with coconut oil!

I couldn't have picked a better time to start with Fabfitfun! Let's get started unboxing!

 The box itself is fairly big, I would say is around a foot and a half in length.

With perforations on the side makes it very easy to open.

Aaaand then it falls over.  Okay, here we go!

First thing I see is an umbrella.  This might be more fitting in the spring, however I currently do not own one so it fits pretty fine right now, and I'm due for some rain over the next few days anyway.  I love the orange color too!

The next thing I picked was this Tribe Alive bracelet.  At first glance I didn't think much of it, like oh it's cute I guess.  I'm not really a jewelry person unless it's super meaningful for me.  Impoverished women from Honduras are hired in a safe workplace with a sustainable income to hand-craft each bracelet.  Because of this, they are able to provide for their families.  Fabfitfun is affiliated with Tribe Alive for that purpose.

Oh, you mean to tell me that today when my phone died I had a portable power bank at the post office waiting for me? oh, okay.  This will certainly come in handy in the future!  You know just what I need Fabfitfun.

There was also a 25% off code for the HISY company included.

So, as we all probably know by now,  I love face masks!  I mainly use korean beauty masks so I haven't heard of this brand before.  My first thoughts was it was quite heavy.  This looks like I will have a lot of fun using it!

There is a 3-in-1 primer, gloss and stain.  I'm super excited to try this out! I love the color as well, it is a neutral shade perfect for fall!

Next up we have a moisturizer that will be great for under your makeup as well as just as it is to smooth out and correct uneven skin tone.  I don't really use moisturizers but I can always start with this!

I received the Merrithew resistance band for regular strength with a supporting DVD.  This is perfect for your every day workout!

This also came with a coupon for Merrithew.

Because it is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Fabfitfun has teamed up with the Allstate Foundation Purple Purse who have generously included a purple purse charm in every fabfitfun box!  I don't carry around a bag with me, nor do I carry around even a lanyard but have a few at hand so I'll be putting this on one of my lanyards and start carrying that around now that I have a lock and key to my work locker!

 I got a 15$ gift card voucher for Alex and Ani.  I might take a look at the website and see what's on there if anything interests me.

This is a 75$ voucher for Picture it on Canvas.  This alone should be a game changer on whether or not you were going to purchase Fabfitfun.  This voucher is worth more than what I paid for the box in total.

Let's talk dollars

• FabFitFun x Tappan Collective Umbrella $32
• Gold Radiance Luxury Facial Mask with Collagen and Rose Oil by Passport to Beauty $65
• Lucky Lip Stain by Manna Kadar Cosmetics $24 
• Flawless Skin Fluid by Doctor D. Schwab $39
• HISY Battery Pack $24.99
• Strength Tubing Ankle &  Total Body Tone with Tubing: Lower Body & Core DVD by Merrithew $33
• Glass Crystal Bead Bracelet by Tribe Alive $49
•   Gift Card by Jeweler's Wife $15
• Gift Card by Picture It On Canvas $7

At a 356.99$ value, I would say that is the best box that I have yet to receive, ever.  This is the price excluding the Allstate Foundation purple keychain which was made in what I would say real nice material and would personally price at around $20-30.  There is still time to purchase your fall box, but hurry because they are selling out, and fast!  Even if you live in Canada this is a steal, price wise!  It was just under 2 weeks excluding weekends and our Thanksgiving holiday from the time I bought it to the time it arrived at my door.  Super shipping on top just makes the cherry on the cake.  It may seem like a lot of money to fork out on a box at 50$, but it is such a great deal that it's hard to pass up.  Not to mention there are coupons you can use on top

I hope this helped you guys in making a decision to purchase the Fabfitfun box. I think the main thing that I liked the most about this box was the Paint it on Canvas voucher.  I haven't decided what I'm going to get done with it but I will share it with you guys once I make my decision for sure! I'm definitely excited to try my new goodies and maybe do some reviews!
