I wasn’t up all night but I was up all weekend as a bridesmaid in LA. This Naruko mask was beckoning me from the bottom of the fridge (where I keep all my masks and none of my food).

After years of seeing this pop up in various articles and blogs (Emily Weiss, Caroline Hirons, Kerry at Skin & Tonics, and Sheryll at The Wanderlust Project)–all with glowing (haha, get it?) reviews–I finally decided to try it out for myself.

Pork Que! – Tony Moly Pure Farm Pig Collagen Hydrogel Mask
I was ‘bacon’ in the damn New York late July heat wave (96 degrees) and running errands in Chinatown when I was sucked into Tony Moly’s new store on Centre street. Yes, I was sucked into the store because of its marvelous air conditioner. The salesgirl also handed me a fan (you know one of those fans with ads printed on them; they hand them out all over Asia)! Whoohoo!
Immediately I had to grab this. Look at HOWCUTE this is! Please try to forget the “extracted from pig’s skin” print 😦

Pink Aye: Hidemond Pinkblast Super Moisturizing Cream Review
For the past 3 weeks, the Hidemond Pinkblast Super Moisturizing Cream has been my sole cream, day and night, on most days. (Scroll to the bottom of this post to see it in my various skincare routines.)
I have the Mild version ($35 for 75g, provided for consideration by Cupidrop), which is the only version available on Cupidrop so far. (Hidemond makes 3 versions: Light, Mild, and Ultra Rich (in order of richness).) What piqued my interest was the boast of “Deep Nutrition and Contour.” Darned if I couldn’t use a little contour!

Tan in Bed (Part 2): Vita Liberata Self Tanning Night Moisture Mask Review
Birchbox seems to read my mind whenever I think about quitting. A few boxes ago, I received a deluxe sample of the Vita Liberata Self Tanning Night Moisture Mask ($45 for 2.2 fl. oz.). Despite my disappointing experience with the Vita Liberata “self-tanning” powder bronzer, I was curious and nonetheless optimistic about the sleeping mask. I mean, delivering DHA (the self-tanning chemical) in liquid or cream form is quite conventional so there should be no problem with the mask, right?

Stink Tank – Biologique Recherché Masque Vivant
This is the grossest-smelling skin care product in the world. It must be, because I eat durian and stinky tofu like they’re ice cream and I CANNOT stand the smell of this mask. But oh, this mask, it is a miracle product. Read this link about it. I concur with her review:

Angela got me this sample with a warning that it smells like feet. She lied; it smells waaaay worse. I wasn’t initially fazed because I opened the lid and sniffed what seemed to be a nutty innocuous scent. Mmmmkay. Continue reading “Stink Tank – Biologique Recherché Masque Vivant”
