Review | Yes To Coconut Hydrate & Restore Mask

Sadly I don't have a picture of my own to use for this, as I threw the packets away ):

I bought these on a whim while at Target one day because I was looking for some new sheet masks to try. My skin has been feeling some kind of damaged after the lengthy dry, windy winter here and I've been desperately hunting for some pick-me-ups for my skin. I've tried a few things in the Yes To line that I've liked, though of course not everything has been perfect.

I should've read the reviews before buying this, honestly. I bought two, one for me and one for my best friend to try. He immediately took his off because it started burning. I only felt an extremely mild sensation that I wasn't sure how to deal with, so I left it on for five minutes. I read some reviews after this experience, and he wasn't the only one. A great many of the people who have tried this have experienced some mild to intense burning and even swelling/redness.

It didn't burn me, but my face was sticky after I took it off, and the smell is actually a bit nauseating. It's a very fake coconut scent that's a bit too sweet, almost like sunscreen. It didn't do anything noticeable for my skin, and honestly the construction of the mask is kind of wonky too. It didn't stick to my face, especially my chin area. I practically had to hold it on myself. I've never had this problem with sheet masks before.

I definitely would not buy this again, and would not recommend it to anyone. I'm kind of hesitant to try any of their other sheet masks, too. I'll just read the reviews first next time!

Review: Too Faced

I will go ahead and start with saying that Too Faced is one of my favorite brands. I love their packaging and their quality, so it's a win-win for me. Their lipstick is one of the first mid-range beauty products I ever bought (before that, I only owned a few Mac lippies as far as more expensive products went). I decided to do a review on this particular product, which I've had for a few months and used several times.

This is the color 'Naked Dolly,' an it's a pinky nude shade that is absolutely beautiful. I didn't own any nude lipsticks at the time, and I decided to make my first nude a more pricey one. I was also intrigued by Too Faced's lipsticks, and let me say I was rather pleased with this. The shade isn't too white, if that makes sense - where it looks chalky and out of place on your lips. It's very creamy and smooth, and a little shiny. It can wear off a little easy because it is rather sheer, but I don't terribly mind. It's easy to re-apply and it doesn't show any cracks if my lips get dry. I really love it as an every day lipstick where I don't have to constantly worry about my lips.

The tube itself is also gorgeous - it's a solid gold color all the way down, very simple yet heavy at the same time. I adore it. 

I've actually ordered two more shades from Too Faced, and I'll likely do a little swatch of those two as well when they arrive. I'm super excited!
