Im always on the lookout for products that combat my oily skin. I feel like its a never ending battle. I know I shouldnt complain much because I could have worse skin and I could be oily all over as opposed to just my forehead but having oily skin in general is just plain annoying. I vented to my mom (who also suffers from combo-oily skin) about it last week and she told me that she'd pick oily over dry skin anyday because oily skin ladies are more resistant to wrinkles in the later years. I dont know if there is any truth to that but it made me feel a little better about having oily skin.
Anyhoo, last month I placed a big order at sasa.com and among other things I picked up this peel off mask & oil control mask. Iv'e been very pleased with these products so I thought Id do a review on them. I got these pics from sasa.com. I really didnt feel it was neccesary to take any personal pics for these.
Shills Magnetic Peel-Off Mask, $6.60
For some reason I cant seem to find any peel off masks in my area for cheap so I got really excited when I seen this for only $6.60. I like this product a lot, especially for my t-zone area. It says that you have to leave in on to dry for about 15-30 minutes but Ive found that this dries in much faster time. It doesn't remove the whiteheads on my nose as well as the biore strips did, Im still looking for a product comparable to the biore nose strips after finding that biore tests on animals! :( I do not know whether Shills does or not, I am still awaiting a reply on that. A caution I would note for this product is that it will rip your eyebrow hair apart! I got it just above my brows (A part I would have tweezed anyway thankfully) and when I peeled it off along came my hair with it! At least thats a testament to how strong it is I guess. All in all, this is a good product and I will re-purchase again if I get confirmation this company does not test on animals
Kuan Yuan Lian Oil-control Mask, $9.60 for 10pcs
This mask is amazing! Like the first one, Im still awaiting reply on whether this company tests on animals or not. I love this face mask. Its actually the first one of its kind that Ive tried. It can be tricky to apply at first but once the essence of the product absorbs your skin will be fresh and flawless! Contrary to the shills mask, it feels like you have to leave it on longer than 15-30 min for it to absorb but its well worth it. One thing I can see problematic about this mask is that it may not fit some faces. It wasnt a perfect fit for me, but nothing to complain about. I dont think it would fit a face like Tori Spellings or something like that though :/
In other news, I picked up some that wet n wild purple palette Ive been lemming and finally got my 88 warm palette. Ive been wanting to do some FOTD posts but I suck at taking pictures so bad! Its either that or my freaking face lol...Ill try and get some EOTD posts together tomorrow...and i more random news, I am soooo excited for ECLIPSE! My bf was sweet enough to get us tix to the midnight showing at the end of June. I cant wait! I such a Twi-hard :) Team Edward w/ Jacob's body!!! hehe lol/
