Innisfree Sheet Masks | Review



Hello again! I have another little review for you, and this time I'm doing sheet masks. I bought a bulk packet of Innisfree sheet masks from Amazon in December, as I got a gift card for Christmas and decided to use it on these. Innisfree is a Korean beauty brand, and I'm actually dying to try some of their makeup products. But, for now, I've got some of their sheet masks! The set included 15 masks, all formulated for moisturizing and hydrating the skin, and it was about $20. Not bad at all, I'd say! As you can see, I also got a few sample packets of other products (the Liole product in the blue packet was like heaven for my skin!! I adore it!)

I only use about one a week, on my "pamper days" where I really treat my skin. Since moving to New York, my regular moisturizer just isn't cutting it in the dry, cold air, so it's really been suffering. After getting these masks (my mom had to mail them up to me), my skin has been feeling sooo much better. They are truly SO moisturizing, hydrating, and just generally amazing and everything you want in a sheet mask. 

They have masks such as 'blackberry,' 'aloe,' 'strawberry,' and many others, and I'm honestly so excited to try each one. I'm wearing one right now as I type up this review! 

I'm wearing the bamboo mask, which I brought with me for my Georgia visit: 

It's extremely cooling as well. I leave it on for ~20 minutes, and then take it off and just pat the remaining product into my skin. I don't even apply moisturizer after - there's no need, though you can if you like for some added hydration.

Basically, if you have dry & dull skin like me, give sheet masks a try. It doesn't necessarily have to be innisfree, but I am so impressed with them! Definitely buying them again when I run out.

Now for a silly picture of me wearing the mask.

A Short Life Update


Hello everyone! I'm terribly sorry about my short little absence here. I came back to a handful of new followers and some lovely and amazing comments which really made me smile. Thank you all for your time and decision to read what I put on my tiny little corner of the internet, it really makes my day!!

The reason I've been a little scarce, if you haven't loosely guessed already, is that my mother was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. I spent some time worrying over her, talking to her, and last Saturday I flew back to Georgia to see them. I'm still with her, and she just had a bilateral mastectomy and is now home recovering from that. I'm so proud of how strong she's been for everyone, despite how scared and small she might be feeling. I'm so happy I was able to be with her for her surgery and see her through it. She's an amazing and strong woman and I'm so proud of her! 

Thank you all for sticking around, and I promise I'll be back and regularly posting soon. xx
