Frenetically Bored…

I’ve all but disappeared from social media and this blog. I scheduled posts but I haven’t written anything original or interesting in awhile. If I don’t post or don’t have an online presence, do I exist? This, of course, is an existential question for another day. But it’s one that I think about often. In our technological age, there is this pressure to constantly post and have an online presence, otherwise, we feel as though we don’t exist. Okay, so this is what I feel, at least. But that is not the point of this post. 

I have been filled with this frantic frenetic energy lately. Even now, as I type this, I’m fidgeting and shifting in my chair. I’m bored but I don’t have any motivation to do anything. I’m bored with being bored, I’m bored with life, I’m bored, bored, bored. And yes, I am boring too.

Lipstick colour: None. This is my lips after trying on 25 lipsticks. They were sore and dry but stained a lovely pink.

Mask of the Week: SNP Fruits Gelato Avocado Sheet Mask

 

Well, here it is, my first low rating review. I was hesitant to review this mask because I rated it so low but I want to be honest. And how honest would it be if I didn’t review products I didn’t like? 

So onto the review!

Mask of the Week: Missha Airy Fit Red Ginseng Sheet Mask

Condition of my skin: Good but needed a boost of something. 

Brand: Missha

Claims: The power of energizing Red Gingseng to plump and revitalize the skin. 

Affordability:  I bought three of these for $5.80 CDN. I wasn’t expecting much but I was blown away. I think these masks are well worth the price and I would pay more because they are that worth it. 

Smell: Do you like the smell of ginseng? That herbaceous, strong, overpowering, spice scent? This mask was assaulting to the senses. The ginseng was that overpowering. It wasn’t an artificial scent. It was pure good stuff. The scent didn’t irritate my skin. That being said, the scent stayed on the face throughout the twenty minutes and after removing the mask, the scent lingered for most of the morning. For that reason, I do not recommend you use this mask before work or school. You’ll end up smelling like herbs all day. If that’s your goal, you do you. 

Texture:  The mask was soaking with a thick, creamy white essence. There was enough essence to use that evening. The essence is moisturizing (and hydrating!) but not greasy and the essence absorbed into my skin and didn’t leave a tacky feeling behind. 

Does it meet its claims:  Yes! I couldn’t believe my eyes. I was so overwhelmed by the results! My skin was instantly plumper, smoother and energized. So far, this is the only mask that has given me that bright and energized look. 

Love or hate?:  LOVE. 

Repurchase: I’ve already repurchased this mask and buy them monthly. I am excessive though. 

Recommend: Go and try it out. I dare you.
