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!

This will be the third review for the Etude House Silk Scarf hair mask collection, you can read the other two here and here.

I found the same issue with my Camellia seed where there wasn't enough product for my entire head.  What was different from that was that it didn't seem to soak in or go farther as the Camellia seed which seems pretty odd as we're now onto level 2.  Hoping for the best, I left it in overnight and most of the following day.

As I was going to rinse out, it felt like I was rinsing out shampoo, not a hair mask let alone conditioner.  I used a little bit of conditioner to smooth and calm my hair down.  This alone kind of drew me away from the mask. 
I didn't smell very much from the mask and if it did have any at all it was very subtle!   Don't use this if you want really nice smelling hair.
By the time it was all said and done, my hair was a little bit shiny.  If this is all this mask is going to provide me, I would have passed.  Like I said on the Camellia review, this might serve a better purpose to people with a little bit shorter hair so that it will go all throughout and not just patches.

Before I get started on the review I want to say that I have never seen a hair mask pack this big!  I have a samsung3(a pretty big phone) to compare to the size of Skinfood's Argan Oil Silk hair mask.

So the hair mask comes in 2 parts, the hair treatment and an essence cap.  I have never seen a hair mask that includes the cap.

The backside of the packaging has the directions in English so to be user friendly.  One thing that you should be cautious about is avoiding your scalp while using this mask as it's made for brittle and dry hair.  Because my hair is neither of those, I'm not expecting a huge change after the treatment.  It also says to leave in for a short period of time but I always opt to leave it in overnight anyway.

The hair treatment is the tiny part of the pack.  It's got a conditioner-like consistency and has a little bit of a pink hue to it which doesn't really show up on camera.  If you have long hair like me, this mask pack alone may not work on all of your hair so try to concentrate mainly on the ends.  I was disappointed in how little treatment that was in here compared to the size of the pack.

The hair cap was different for me and therefore quite the excitement.  I was hoping it would be all full of essence like a face mask is for some reason.  It turns out that yes it had a little bit of essence but nothing too extensive.  Anyway, cap goes on and hair goes up then the waiting process starts.

After a few hours my hair cap had dried up and most of the treatment had soaked right into my hair.  I love that feeling because my hair is getting the treatment to its full ability.

My hair is visibly shiny and is smooth to the touch. I really like the outcome of this hair mask.  A little goes a long way but I still think that I will need more treatment in order to get the best effect that I can.

Pros

• Cool packaging
• Hair cap
• Shiny hair
• Great for dry brittle ends

Cons

• Bad smell
• Not enough treatment for long hair

This mask is more directed towards people who dye their hair or put a lot of heat on it.  You can get the full size product here.
