September 2019 - Four Mosa Sheet Mask Kit Subscription

I'm a sucker for subscription boxes - you know that this blog was started as a subscription review blog and expanded in to a beauty blog over the years. I'm also a sucker for sheet masks, so naturally I feel the need to try all the sheet mask subscriptions I can! 

*Edit November 2019 - FourMosa did not send out an October subscription and returned money for my yearly subscription minus that month (lucky I got my money back); but, they still have an active website, but I would not recommend signing up for them.

This subscription was purchased by me

I felt really compelled to try Four Mosa because it is founded in Calgary, AB - where I live and who doesn't love to support a local company?! This September 2019 Sheet Mask Kit is the first month in this subscription! 

February 2018 - Monthly Empties & Month in Masks

Time to take a look at my beauty garbage! (I hope each month that I will have lots of empties; because, I'm trying to make a conscious effort to go through and use up products!)

Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Invisible Cover Foundation in 127/Y335/Dark Sand ~ sample (full size is $52.00 CAN). A game-changing, top-selling foundation with buildable to medium coverage, available in a diverse range of 40 shades.

I received this in a past Topbox actually; but, the shade was a little too dark for me - the formula was nice but I never really tested it on it's own as I usually had to mix it with a lighter shade! Anyways, it did wear well and I thought it had a nice finish! 
Repurchase: I would like to sample it in my shade! 

April 2017 - Month in Masks & Mask Empties

Masking is a huge part (and probably my favorite part) of my skincare routine! I try to use all types of masks as often as possible as I find they really help moisturize and improve my skin! 

This post is a review of all the masks I use each month and mini reviews on all of them - I also consider the Month of Masks my Mask Empties post, because I do not feature my sheet masks in my monthly empties post! You can check out my past Month of Masks here! 

Here is a look at the masks I used in April:

April 2 

Dragon's Blood Fix Plumping Mask ~ $14.95. An intensely hydrating gel mask combining multiple skin perfecting complexes to plump the look of wrinkles and refine the skin's appearance for a brighter, more youthful looking complexion.

This mask can be used as a rinse off mask or as a night mask as well - I love when I can use my masks as dual purposes! This has a nice cooling effect on the skin and was a really nice light gel. It didn't dry or harden on the skin making it easy to rinse off! It was a little sticky, but made my skin feel good! You can view a past Skincare Sunday review here if you are interested! 

Repurchase: I will keep trying it out before I decide!

February 3
Passport to Beauty - Gold Radiance Luxury Facial Mask with Collagen and Rose Oil ~ 1 mask for $32.50 ($65 for 2 mask set). Egyptians believed the healing powers of gold could cure all manner of physical, mental and spiritual ailments.

In ancient Chinese medicine, gold was the secret to youthful skin.

The active lactic acid in yogurt essence normalizes oil secretion, minimizing and refining pore size in the process.

January 2016 - Month in Masks and Mask Empties (with mini reviews!)

January 2

This post is a review of all the masks I use each month - I also consider the Month of Masks my Mask Empties post, because I do not feature my sheet masks in my monthly empties post! You can check out my past Month of Masks here! 

I have to say, I was really trying to be good about using masks this month, but November was crazy for me and sadly my skincare did not get the attention that it needed - trust me I felt the repercussions of not using enough masks this month and I will redeem myself next month! 

Here a review of my Masks of November:

November 1

August 2015 Beauteque Mask Maven - Mask Subscription Review

Beauteque is an American company that focuses on creating a beauty bag subscription featuring Asian Beauty products. Beauteque launched their original "BB Bag" Subscription in January of this year and their "Mask Maven" was just launched a couple months later in March.

The Mask Maven subscription is described as:

"The Mask Maven is a luxurious subscription service offering a lovely assortment of masks each month to keep your skin smooth, soft, and spectacular. 

You will receive all kinds of masks including face sheet masks, hand and feet masks, hair masks, wash off masks, and more."

Beauteque Mask Maven is $15 monthly - if you sign up for a longer subscription, you can save a little money: $14 per month if you sign up for 6 months, or $13 per month if you sign up for 12 months. Shipping per month is $3.95 for the U.S., $5.95 to Canada, and $8.95 to Europe. Each month you can expect to receive 9-11 masks of all varieties.

*So I initially signed up for 3 months, which was March-May and the subscription was a little disorganized and had too many repeat items. I actually forgot to cancel my sub. For June-Aug and I am happy I stuck around, because Mask Maven stepped it up with some much needed improvements last month - same masks for all subscribers (with only a few that could be different types), more brand variety, and a product card! Again, great improvements*

Here is a look at the August 2015 Mask Maven:

Looks like a great mix of masks! 

July 2015 - Month of Masks in Review (Mask Empties)

Most of you know by now that masks are a huge part of this routine and since I have come to love this routine, I have incorporated so many new masks in to my routine! I love trying different brands and different types of masks!

I started this post a few months back as a way to review more masks on my blog! Hope you enjoy reading about all the masks I have tried! I consider the Month of Masks my Mask Empties post, because I do not feature my sheet masks in my monthly empties post! 

July 1

June 2015 Beauteque Mask Maven - Face Mask Subscription Review

Beauteque is an American company that focuses on creating a beauty bag subscription featuring Asian Beauty products. Beauteque launched their original "BB Bag" Subscription in January of this year and their "Mask Maven" was just launched in March - this is their 3rd bag! 

The Mask Maven subscription is described as:

"The Mask Maven is a luxurious subscription service offering a lovely assortment of masks each month to keep your skin smooth, soft, and spectacular. 

You will receive all kinds of masks including face sheet masks, hand and feet masks, hair masks, wash off masks, and more."

Beauteque Mask Maven is $15 monthly - if you sign up for a longer subscription, you can save a little money: $14 per month if you sign up for 6 months, or $13 per month if you sign up for 12 months. Shipping per month is $3.95 for the U.S., $5.95 to Canada, and $8.95 to Europe. Each month you can expect to receive 9-11 masks of all varieties.

So I initially signed up for 3 months, which was was supposed to end in May and while I liked the masks, I had received a ton of repeats and the subscription seemed a little disorganized. I was planning on cancelling (I love Mask Genie and don't really need 2 masks subscriptions every month) but I forgot, so it renewed for the next 3 months. I really hope that this subscription improves from the last 3 months! 

Here is a look at the June 2015 Mask Maven:

I love that they included a little note saying they are taking their subscribers comments in to account! Another amazing thing is they included a product card this month!

Mask Genie offers 2 different pouches:

• 5 masks for $12
• 10 masks for $22

Mask Genie describes their service as:

"MaskGenie is a monthly masks membership service, which delivers a beautifully packaged drawstring pouch straight to your door containing a variety of fun and exciting masks from Asia.

Unlike other masks subscription services, MaskGenie gives you the freedom to choose what you buy and when you buy, so you never feel tied to anything. Throughout the year, there will also be Limited Edition Luxury Mask Pouches that you can purchase as an extra treat for yourself or for a friend.

MaskGenie is not only your usual masks subscription service where you receive a bunch of random masks each month, but with MaskGenie, all products are carefully chosen and curated by us, all in order to give you the best selection of the craziest, coolest, and hottest trends!

No matter what skincare concerns you may have, MaskGenie provides only the best masks that care for your skin from head to toe. You now have an opportunity to try out all the different types and brands of masks from Asia."

For the past few months I have order the 5 Mask Pouch, so for April I thought I would try the 10 mask pouch - here's a look:

This month the 10 Mask Pouch came in a pink drawstring bag, and I appreciate that Mask Genie takes the time to organize every pouch the same and in a specific order! (I forgot to take a photo again - I don't know what is wrong with me lately?)
