I was looking through my bins o’ sheet masks earlier and found myself drawn to the ElishaCoy Honey & Royal Jelly. As my eyes scanned down the front of the packet, however, my attraction quickly turned to some straight-up WUT. Why, you ask? Let’s take a closer look. Let that sink in. Maybe reading a…

After many trials and tribulations, I’m finally ready to review the My Beauty Diary Mandelic Acid Brightening Mask! But before we get into it, let’s talk about this mask’s learning curve. Because I’ve never before encountered a mask that had a learning curve. They wouldn’t have had a learning curve if I’d bothered to read…

You know what turns a good Saturday into a great Saturday? Checking the mail, finding a slip in there notifying me that I have a package waiting at the front office, and going to the office to be handed a nice big Innisfree-branded box!

Hooray! The weekend is finally here. That means I can kick back and start working through the backlog of product reviews I’ve been planning. First up: the biggest disappointment I’ve encountered during my sheet mask journey, the Innisfree It’s Real Squeeze Mask in Bija.

Did you think I was done with reviewing sheet masks? Not even close! I’ve got over fifty stashed in my crisper as we speak, and I’m having a blasty blast trying out all the different varieties and figuring out which ones I love (and don’t love). Today we’re going to take a look at my…
