[Review] Nature Republic Given By Nature Tea Tree Aqua Gel Mask

Merry Christmas and happy holidays Cuties!~ long time no post due to finals and studying! but I am glad that we are back. According to the schedule, I was supposed to post yesterday, but due to issues, I was not able to. Today I will review to you the tea tree aqua gel mask from Nature Republic. First of all, tea tree is a very important ingredient when it comes to acne or trouble skin, since it will help with reducing inflammation and soothes the redness on the skin. 

I had tried the cotton texture sheet masks before, but not much of the gel type. This was the first time I tried it and it was interesting. If you have never heard or saw the gel masks before, here is a quick overview of the difference between the two. > Cotton Mask Sheet vs. Gel Mask Sheet (covered by the lovely Jessica <3 )

How it looks like with it on.

PRO:

• It helps with the benefits of acne and dry skin.
• it is separated into upper half and bottom half so it is easier to adjust to individual faces.
• Helps soothing and moisturising the face.

CON:

• The gel is covered in plastic wraps so it won't damage the gel, but it takes a while to take the mask out.
• It has a lot of solution, so when I put it on my whole hand is all wet.

COST:

• $2.90 before tax in Hawai'i

[Review] The Face Shop Lovely Me: Ex Design My Eyebrows #4 Brown

Good evening my Cuties~ I apologize for uploading late due to studying for my mid-terms, but I won't let you guys down! So here I am with a new review pertaining to The Face Shop's Design My Eyebrows in the shade of brown. I am sure a lot of people have seen review on this eyebrow pencil, but it is so good that even I want to review it. I am a big fan of eyebrow products, since I don't have much eyebrow hair myself. I wanted my eyebrow to be nicely shaped and full, so I decided to try this pencil. 
This eyebrow pencil is very convenient, since it is an auto pencil, so it does not have to be sharpen when the tip becomes dull. I also find it useful to have an eyebrow brush on the other side of the tip, so I could blend the color in, causing a natural effect.

This is my eyebrows when I do not color them in. The second picture shows that only one side of my eyebrows are filled in. (Sorry about my dark circles and eye bags, it is due to the lack of sleep) Below is a picture of me with both eyebrows filled in, pretty natural right?

PROS:

• It does not cost much, Hawai'i is around $4~5
• It fills in the eyebrows naturally
• Comes with a brush 
• Does not have to sharpen it

CONS:

• It is straight edged, so it depends if it is convenient for the user according to their eyebrow shapes.
• Clumps a little when pressure was applied, it also makes it dark looking

[Review] Nature Republic Hawaiian Fresh Clay Pack

Good morning Cuties~! Today's review I had decided to try Nature Republic's Hawaiian Fresh line, which contains acne cleaner, toner, serum, acne spot treatment, and clay pack. Today I would be doing the clay pack review. This product is made from the deep Hawaiian sea water so it contains a lot of minerals for your skin and makes it healthier. This product is good for oily skin type, which helps with acne and remove sebum while revitalizing the skin. It also contains Hibiscus extract (pore tightening) and Noni extract (moisturize the pores).

I think the packaging is really cute.

How to use:
This product is similar to a face mask sheet, but it is in clay form. First spread it on the face and then let the clay dry, which will take about 20-30 minutes depending on how much clay is on the face. After, when the clay is all dry, rinse it with water and you are finished.

Price range:
This product is very affordable $14-16 in Hawaii.

PROS:

• Minimizing and cleaning of pores
• softens the face making it feel smooth
• the scent of the clay was pleasant 

CONS:

• needs to wash it off after, this is not for people who are lazy to wash it off
• Rinsing the clay off could be messy
