Late to the Party

I do love a good sheet masking session and aim to use at least three masks a week if I can. Sheet masks are probably the first entry for most people into the world of Asian beauty, although they are becoming more popular with western brands too. Recently, through Instagram (where else?!) I heard about two Instagrammers that have set up their own non-subscription mask bundle service. They are called Mask n Chill and their deal seemed too good to be true! Five top quality sheet masks, shipped from Malaysia for free for just $10!   I placed my order late last Tuesday evening and received these masks from Malaysia in under a week!

However, a later 'sneak peak' showed a Konjac sponge, and while I have no issues with Konjac Sponges, I really didn't want to have yet another box filled with cheap filler products!   And then, just befor...

Naruko - Raw Job's Tears Supercritical CO2 Pore Minimizing & Brightening Lotion Review     The product   This lotion promises to target three main skin issues (according to Naruko's website ):   * Pore tightening - cleanses and tightens pores. Promising to repair large pores and rough and dull complexion caused by too much oil secretion; rids the skin of dead cell deposits.   * Fine whitening - the ingredients of Raw Job's Tears, polished Job's Tears, grape leaf essence, ethyl ascorbic acid and sodium ascorbyl phosphate brightens the skin and prevents melanogenesis.   * Oil-balancing - the ingredients of Evermat pore-tightening factor, hyaluronic acid, Tremella extract, saccharide isomerate and natural pine-extracted moisturising polysaccharide control over-production of oil.   I thought (and quite fairly, couldn't be blamed for thinking) that Raw Job's Tears was just a marketing name - because, let's face it,...
