october mask maven 2015

i think the shipping was delayed, but i have it.
this month's theme is western brunch. i like how the card looks like a menu, which is cute. i didn't receive a sneak peek of next month's bag. the bag is also bigger this month, i guess since these masks are bigger in size.

Mediheal ADE cocoa mask
ADE-raw cocoa is an anti-oxidant that helps to fight free radicals. the ingredient also provides hydration to the skin.
i haven't tried a cocoa mask, i hope it smells good.

Botanic Farm green tea mask
this mask sheet is infused with green tea extract which soothes the skin and can reduce inflammation.
my skin's having a moment, so this should calm it down.

Skinfood beauty in a food jeju tangerine mask
jeju tangerine peel extract enlivens dull skin. the fruit ingredient also provides hydration.
i like citrus smells, so this should be nice.

tomato can reduce dark spots and help fade acne scars. it can also help control oil.
i've tried the beauty friend masks before and liked them.

Esfolio egg essence mask
mask contains egg yolk extract which will moisturize the skin, and leave it feeling soft.
eggs freak me out but i will try this one out.

this mask is rich in essence and will provide deep moisturization. also softens and improves skin texture.
i've done a few yogurt masks and they've smelled nice.

Skin 9 panda honey elasticity pack

it has a panda face on the mask, which i think is cute.

Skin 9 super puppy whitening honey pack

there's a puppy face on it, which looks fun.

three steps to dream skin that is nourished with vitamins can be achieved with this pack.

i like the theme of this bag and there's a lot of new ones to try like tomato, egg and cocoa.

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*
