Mask Monday: Fantasy Blue Glittering Peel-Off Mask

Korean Beauty is taking the beauty world by storm. While I do not partake in the 10 Step Skincare Routine (pretty close though!), I've become a big fan of Korean products. The packaging is super adorable and most products are pretty affordable.

I was at Urban Outfitters when I spotted the Fantasy mask. The glittery box immediately caught my eye. Glitter face masks are a huge trend right now. Even big brands like TooFaced and Glam Glow are hopping on the glitter bandwagon. I love sparkly s**t so I definitely wanted to give it a try. This mask was only $14, which didn't hurt my pockets too much. Besides it being glittery, the mask is a peel-off formula that promises to remove sebum and other impurities of the skin. I have been struggling with some acne for the past month or so and I have been making changes to my regimen to correct it. This mask sounded promising.

The mask comes with a silicone wand for application, which was pretty cool. It made applying the mask a lot easier since the formula was pretty thick. I applied the mask with the wand, in downward strokes. It's best to apply in one direction to make the peel-off process easier. I really liked the scent of this mask, it was nice and pleasant. The application process was fairly easy and mess-free.

Mask Instructions:

• Cleanse and dry face.
• Apply mask using applicator.
• Relax for 20-30 minutes
• Peel off mask.

I'm Blue!

I was expecting the mask to be a lot more glittery so I was disappointed when it was more of a pearl-effect. It did look pretty cool, still. The peel-off processing was only a tad uncomfortable. I had a little discomfort around the under-eye area. I started from the outer edges and peeled off towards the center. It came off in one go minus a few little flakes, which washed off easily with warm water. There was some slight redness but my face did feel a little softer and tighter. With regular use, I expect to see some overall improvement with my skin. 

The Fantasty Blue Glittering Peel-Off Mask is available at Urban Outfitters for $14.

Colourpop "My Little Pony": Swatches and First Impressions

Colourpop took it wayyyyy back with their My Little Pony collection. I knew I had to have it as I used to love My Little Pony as a little girl. Nostalgia is a great marketing ploy. 

The packaging was too cute! I'm going to be the crazy hoarder that I am and keep it because I love it. I purchased the eyeshadow palette, two ultra matte lips and two ultra glossy lips. Keep reading to view more photos and swatches.

Vegas Nay x Eylure Lashes Review

Vegas Nay Lashes by Eyelure in "Grand Glamor" and "Shining Star"

Vegas Nay was one of the first MUAs that I started following on Instagram. She's incredibly talented and I just love hearing here talk in her videos. Her voice is really similar to Ruby from "Max and Ruby". So sweet and soothing. Anyway, I was very interested in these lashes after I saw them in Target. The style is very different from what you would see at the drugstore. These are super glam and dramatic. She had another pair that were meant for more natural looks, but I did not get those.

Ruby Kisses Matte Lip Lacquer Review and Swatches

One of the best things about being a beauty aficionado in NYC is the great number of beauty supplies I have available. From Ricky's to independent stores, they all offer awesome products that you might not find easily. I was browsing through one when I saw a display for Ruby Kisses Matte Lip Lacquers. Like my fellow makeup hoarders, I have been crazy about liquid matte lipsticks lately. The lipgloss-lipstick hybrid is just so convenient and I absolutely love the finish!
