SKINS BONI YOGURT MASK PACK/ KBEAUTY/ REVIEW

Image
SKINS BONI YOGURT MASK PACK  Skin's Boni offers this whimsical Yogurt Mask Pack, inspired by the popular drinkable yogurt that many Korean kids grew up with! Just like the drink, this sheet mask contains beneficial fermentation extracts such as bifida. lactobacillus and lacto coccus fermentation extracts that nourish and hydrate the skin. The lactic acid helps to dissolve dead skin cells providing a gentle exfoliation that minimizes breakouts. Skin's Boni Yogurt Mask Pack is formulated to help the skin maintain its ideal pH of 5.5 for healthier, smoother skin.  Yes i look like a mummy. But my skin felt so great and had a great glow after using this. I love Korean sheet masks. They are so much better because they work to put more moisture into the skin vs the american ones that have such a great amount of alcohol . This mask is only $3 I would get this mask because your skin needs it. XOXO LAURIE ANN

HONEST BEAUTY GEL CLEANSER AND FACIAL WIPES REVIEW

Image
HELLO BEAUTY SQUAD,  Today i am talking to you about these two products from Honest Beauty The first up is REFRESHINGLY CLEAN MAKEUP REMOVER WIPES Makeup remover wipes, infused with a rich, emollient blend of grape seed and olive oils, lift away makeup and impurities. My thoughts on these wipes is that they are more on the dryer side than my wipes that i normally use. They also smell more like citrus and oatmeal. My skin did feel a bit more dry after using them. The price not that bad. Its $10 for 30 sheets. but i will stick with my Neutragena ones. Next up is REFRESHINGLY CLEAN GEL CLEANSER With a botanical blend of chamomile, calendula, yucca root extract and Saponaria, this luxurious formula delivers a fresh, foamy experience that removes dirt and makeup without over-drying skin. In a consumer study of 325 women, after 4 weeks of use: 95% agreed skin felt refreshed and clean after use. 94% agreed skin showed no signs of makeup after use. 85% agreed ski...
