Holika Holika After Night Overtime Mask Sheet | Review

I’m not gonna lie, I bought this sheet mask for the the packaging. I’m not usually much of a sucker for marketing ploys, but I often need an “after night overtime” mask lol. I wasn’t expecting much from it but I’m actually quite pleased! After a 90’s coverband concert, champagne, and Jack Daniels, I woke up in the morning exactly…

Two Snails, One Stone: Benton Snail Bee High Content Mask Pack

Well, it’s actually a bee and a snail and I guess they had a baby and produced this mask…  First off, I had a like-dislike relationship the Benton Snail Bee High Content Mask Pack ($3.00).
