REVIEW | NATURE REPUBLIC Original Power Argan Oil

I bought this product awhile back but I wasn't able to test it out until now. Since the weather has been pretty dry and cold here, My skin has also become dry. My skin type is usually a Combination and it is also very sensitive to products. This product has 99% natural argan oil that is said to be effective for any skin types. It keeps nutrition, elasticity and moisture in your skin.

The bottle holds 30mL and uses a dropper to dispense the oil into the palm of your hands.

After cleansing my face and applying toner, I added two drops of the argan oil into the palm of my hands. I rubbed the oil between my hands to warm up the product and gently patted different areas of my face. The oil leaves a lightweight layer on the skin that doesn't feel like you have oil on your face at all. You will notice that there is no fragrance or scent but it doesn't have the best smell. When I woke up the next morning, I noticed my face felt very soft and supple.

Overall, this product is worth the $12 I spent on it. There is enough product to last me months and the effects on my skin are amazing. The only problem is the smell but I've gotten use to it and it doesn't bother me as much anymore. I would definitely recommend this to others that are looking for an argan oil or natural oil product.

REVIEW | ETUDE HOUSE AC Clinic Intense Mask Sheet



{formulated with Salicylic Acid, mask sheet made from 100% Bamboo fivers supplies soothing moisture}

My skin has been really breaking out recently and so I thought it would be a good time to try out this mask I got recently from Etude House! ^^ This mask is from their AC Clinic Intense collection, meant to not only moisturize but also "soothe troubled skin".

Just like your typical sheet mask, when you open up the package you see the sheet mask soaked in the formula. The formula itself wasn't sticky and wasn't scented, something I actually prefer. The mask felt a lot stronger than the usual cotton masks. It was also a lot more opaque than the usual kinda-see-through masks I'm used to using. The eye and mouth openings were kind of small though... it was hard to adjust the masks to fit my features well, but it wasn't anything too bad. I left the mask on for ~20 min and after I took it off, I got the left over formula in the package and applied it onto my face and neck.


The mask has a nice cooling effect when you put it on and it definitely leaves your face feeling very moisturized. While you won't see any overnight results in terms of acne, I did notice my skin looked firmer and more moisturized the next morning. The only thing though was that I did notice some acne develop on my neck and along my jaw. I've never gotten acne on my neck before and so I'm guessing it's from the mask. :\ And at $2, it is slightly pricier than other similar sheet masks, so I probably won't be purchasing this mask again.
