MY OPINION: Face Masks

Recently, I decided to use up my face masks that have collected over the past two years.  I sent a bunch of them to a friend at Christmas as a little silly thing to add to her gift but I still had about 7 to use up.
Either I had them from a) binge purchase with Tran two years ago because there were 20 in a bundle for 400 yen or b)gifts/free-be for buying something at a Korean music shop in Shin Okubo.  After using them though, I discovered that I haven't had as much acne and they also seem to help my acne scars fade more quickly. I'm all for that, so I went and purchased more.

Previously, I had only been using Korean brands, but K-town is a little far for me to go just for face masks so I went to my area's AINZ TULPE and found some there.

Thus far, I adore the brand PURE SMILE.  There are several different "flavors" and I liked every kind that I bought.  When I am out of this batch I bought, I will be buying more of this brand.

My friend and I also bought a big, bulk bag of some "Royal Jelly" kind, but I am unsure of the brand and have not tried them yet.

Today was my first time using this one though:

We also purchased this due to a bulk option.  But, I have to say that if they all are like this one... I won't be purchasing them again.  One of the things that I really liked about PURE SMILE is that they are scented- lightly scented! This "Stick Face Mask" kind...at least this Pearl one, was quite heavily perfumed and I didn't like that.

Besides that, I guess I have no real complaints.  I did appreciate that they took the eye holes all the way out, and didn't leave the flaps like all the other kinds of masks I have used have.  My skin feels similar to how it did when I used the other masks, so I don't think that there is a real difference there.  Simply, the perfume bothered me.  I will update as I work through my half of the pack if my opinion changes with the other variety I have.
