Hello there dear readers! More snails, I love snails... mucin! Yes, I ain't referring the actual snail of course, they kinda creep me out BUT I love the mucin (or mucus) they produce~ I had been facing some skin troubles recently (hormonal) so I didn't immediately use this mask when I first received it. This is a luxurious mask which I wouldn't wanna waste!
Apieu had been pretty well known for their affordable cosmetics and skincare. Although it's priced at a low price point, most of their products delivers well and received quite a lot of compliments. I was excited when I saw the sweet sheet mask in 3 varieties, Banana, Peach and Grapefruit. The soothing one always get the first try!
Owed this review for so long! Didn't realise I haven't ever shared the Etude House Air Therapy Mask at least once on my blog. How can this beeeee ohmy! The first one I will share on will be the green tea one. This one is one my top 3 favourite out of the 15 choices available.
My favourite ingredient to soothe troubled, allergic skin reactions would definitely be ALOE! Been using aloe really intensively recently and finally, I'm about to finish this tub from Cosrx! Hence, I decided to do a review on it. Having said so, I had repurchased my second tub~ Read on for more!
What is it:
Aloe Vera Oil-free Moisture Cream is a high-concentrate aloe cream that fills in the skin with thick moisture, helps calm the skin and prevent future troubles, and creates moisture barrier for sagging skin.
A 80% content of aloe vera leaf juice and 200-times-concentrate of aloe vera leaf juice powder to calm quickly the skin tired from the heat and ultraviolet ray. Makes your day!
Ingredient List as shown:
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Water, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, 1,2-Hexanediol, Betaine, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder, Allantoin, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Dimethicone, Arginine, Carbomer, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Panthenol, Chlorophyllin-Copper Complex, Ethyl Hexanediol
How to use:
1) After cleansing or showering, apply an adequate amount to the desired area (especially to sun exposed, dry, irritated areas) and allow absorption.
2) For a cooler feel with increased firming and soothing effects, try using after refrigerating the product!
It comes in a plastic tub with spatula. PH level 6.5, Suitable for all skin types.
Spatula in between the cap and lid. The lid makes things messy for me. Warning!! If not capped properly and pressed, it will be a mess! I normally just throw the lid away afterwards.
It's a tub of gel. Really gel-ly! It doesn't wobble, I tried it haha!
I scooped a generous amount onto the back of my hands. Immediately, I felt a cooling sensation. It's gonna be even nicer if refrigerated I guess. Especially if you are gonna deal with sun burn.
It's pretty lightweight and absorbs fast into my skin. I really like how it doesn't pile and just 'sit' on my face.
Does it does what it claims?
Claim 1: A high-concentrate aloe cream that fills in the skin with thick moisture, helps calm the skin and prevent future troubles, and creates moisture barrier for sagging skin.
I love to slap these on my cheeks especially, as I face alot of redness, sensitivity, reactions blah blah and blah, and it really helps to soothe! I wouldn't say this prevents future skin troubles but helps existing skin troubles. Moisture barrier seems the same, mine is pretty damage though.
Claim 2: 80% content of aloe vera leaf juice and 200-times-concentrate of aloe vera leaf juice powder to calm quickly the skin tired from the heat and ultraviolet ray.
When my face flushes red because of heat, I will reach out for this. Not immediate effects but after prolonged usage, skin indeed feels less red and sensitive.

| Would I buy this again? |
Repurchased my second tub! I do like this product. It's simple and it's great. It helps with my allergy reactions and I love how fast my skin eats this up. Whenever my skin is feeling extra sensitive, this is my trustable product, my first choice to reach out to. It's not really a miracle product neither is it my holy grail yet. However, I just like how it helped to settle down my skin. I will give it a higher rating as it delivers what it promises!
| Where to buy? |
I bought mine from My Beauty Moments.

This was one of the bottle of essence I gotten from Innisfree when I just started my AB journey. Sorry if this post came a little late, I did like this but didn't realized that I hadn't blog about it yet. I emptied my last bottle for quite some time ago. In the past, I tend to use this particular one until I emptied it, try something new, but eventually still went back for this again. Used to love this one dearly. Back then my skin was really sensitive and red hence I was really wary of the products I try on.
Hello guys, back with another sheet mask review. Since one of Instagram followers requested me to do a review on the Guardian Pony Brown mask, how could I say no! Ps: I do hear and do it for you guys, so let me know if you want me to try out any products. I would say Ponybrown is a well known cartoon character in Korea. It's great to hear Guardian actually collaborated with them! *Happy*
Anyway, let's start the talk on the mask shall we?
Recently I did a mini review on my Instagram post of this mask from Frudia, so today I am sharing more photos of it and a more detailed review. Honestly, I never heard of this brand before. I saw it months ago available at Watsons stores and i thought it was just another mask made by Watsons manufactured in korea. I regretted not paying more attention to this honestly!
