september mask maven 2015

this is late, yes. beauteque sent out an email explaining it all. something with the shipment and email system. but i still have my bag :D

 classic white bubble mailer

 card about mask info
the theme this month was en-riching your skin-which was a clever pun
i'm not going to type how to use each mask since it's almost the same for all of the them. Apply to a clean face, leave on for 10-30 mins, massage essence into skin.

 thank you card-it has a sneak peek for next months masks on the back, which i won't be showing, but it seems awesome. i also like the pumpkins and leaves

how masks came-i like the purple/lavender

 face q aloe moisture mask-this mask has the ingredient aloe, which is known to soothe and moisturize the skin.
i've tried face q before and liked their masks, so this sounds nice.

 annie's way arbutin whitening mask-annie's way, a known name in wash off masks from taiwan, is also a respected one in the sheet mask category and boasts over 25 varieties. types include anti-acne, anti-wrinkle, and even anti-allergy. a mask of thinner material ensures that more essence absorbs into your skin more effectively.
i haven't tried a whitening mask but it sounds interesting (sorry it's blurry, my camera had a moment)

 hanaka hydrogel lip patch (peach, rose, or strawberry)-this lip mask moisturizes and soothes the rejuvenate lips.
i've never tried a lip mask, but my lips do need it. excited to try it and it's peach flavor

hanaka hydrogel hyaluronic acid and cactus eye patch-this is a high density hydrogel patch that contains moisturizing ingredients that will effectively relieve irritation and soothe the fragile skin around your eyes. the essence in this mask contains ingredients, such as seaweed extract base, that are effective in moisturizing the skin. 
i haven't tried anything with cactus in it, so i'm excited about that

 baviphat urban dollkiss korean won lifting-up mask (5000 krw)-fight sagging skin and wrinkles, and firm it up with this lifting mask! four kinds of peptides and collagen work to restore and keep skin firm and lively.
i like the money packaging on all of these. a firming mask doesn't sound bad

 baviphat urban dollkiss japan yen revital mask (10000 yen)-regenerate and revitalize your skin with this mask. it includes herbal extracts, aloe extracts, as well as althase rosea extract which will help reduce inflammation. 
my skin is freaking out from monthly things, so this sounds nice to use for that

baviphat urban dollkiss swiss franc be light mask (10 chf)-this mask has seven kinds of floral extracts which work together to brighten skin. it will also reduce the appearance of dark spots with this mask.

my skin could use some brightening, so i think i'm going to like this

 baviphat urban dollkiss uk pound essential mask (20 pounds)-this mask has ginseng callus extracts which can help increase elasticity, vitality, and encourage regeneration ability within skin cells.
this sounds nice for vitality and i don't remember if i've used a ginseng mask before

 baviphat urban dollkiss chinarmb clean mask (100 rmb)- hyaluronic acid, fruit extracts, and vitamins work together to deep cleanse skin and leave it moisturized.
acid, vitamins and fruit extracts sound really good for my skin right now

 baviphat urban dollkiss europe euro solution mask (1000000 euro)-relieve skin from daily stress and revive it with this mask. centella asiatica extract, which can heal and help promote collagen growth, is included.
this sound nice with medicinal herbs and collagen, since my skin is having a moment

baviphat urban dollkissus dollar moistfull mask (50 usd)-keep your skin hydrated and resilient with this mask's aloe and honey extracts. snail secrete filtrate adds additional moisture, and helps to firm skin.
i'm excited for honey and snail! i dont know why but snail masks sound amazing to me and i haven't found any cheaper. i'm excited to try this one!

this was a nice month for 11 masks. i'm excited for the snail and whitening ones. i also have to find a way to open the money ones without ruining them, since i think the packaging is very cool. i did enjoy this month and am excited for next month.

*i paid for this myself and did a 3 month subscription. this is my honest opinion*

empties 4

time for empties!

 this was supposed to be a month ago.....opps

 loreal true match powder N1 soft ivory
i like this and am using another one. the color match is decent and it doesn't make me look cakey

 buxom mascara sample
this worked fine, wouldn't repurchase since i have more mascaras

 elf concealer light beige
this is slightly too dark for me but i have more backups

 wet n wild panther eye shadow
this died tragically after a fall. i used most of it before that

 nyx purple primer
i liked it but prefer my green one since i don't have much yellow in my face

elf setting spray
this works in case i have dry patches. i have back ups

 purederm foot mask
this was awesome. i left it on for 90 mins and it felt tingly. nothing much happened until 2 days later when my feet peeled, giant long sheets of skin. my feet felt so soft afterwards. i'm defiantly getting more of these

 purederm deep cleansing peeling gel
this did clean but not peel. it felt nice to use before putting a mask on

 snp troubled skin mask
this was nice to use to relax and treat. i didn't notice my acne disappear, but i think it prevented some

 beauty friends green tea mask
this was nice, i didn't see any improvement in acne though

 beauty friends kiwi mask
this was nice too and it felt moisturizing. also there was serum at the bottom still, so i used that after i took the mask off

 equate makeup remover towels
this i've used before and have backups. i like using these

 bodycology xoxo sugar scrub
this was raspberry scented and i liked that it stayed on after the shower. i have more sugar scrubs and might get this scent again

i used this as bubble bath and gel. the scent wasn't strong and it didn't lather well. wouldn't buy again

 keratin and macadamia hair masks
these were nice and did tame some frizz and add moisture

 pantene classic shampoo
this lasted forever and it only slightly faded my color. i have more shampoo to work through
