I’m From Rice Mask Review - NEW version

This post contains affiliate links. Product provided by Wishtrend. I wrote the original review for the I’m From Rice Mask almost exactly two years ago, in December of 2020. I liked the mask back then, and while the huge pieces of rice bran weren’t the most exciting feature of the product, they didn’t particularly bother me. However, many other users passionately hated that aspect of the mask, and I’m From listened to them. The I’m From Rice Mask was recently reformulated and

One of the current ones is Klavuu Special Care Pearl Glow Mask. It’s available on Oshen Skin (save extra with my code KBHOBBIT10) and watch the unboxing video here - the amazing iridescence of this mask really should be seen on video! The mask is made with domestically harvested Ko

Oseque Hydro Deep Sea Cream Mask Review

This is a sponsored review. All opinions are honest. This post contains affiliate links. Wash off masks are a regular and much loved part of my skincare routine. It’s a relaxing way to hydrate, nourish, or cleanse the skin - depending on the mask type. The Oseque Hydro Deep Sea Cream Mask promises to moisturize, brighten, and strengthen the skin barrier. It contains seaweed extracts, amino acids and trace elements. A full list of ingredients is available at the end of the rev

The Saem Natural Daily Original Rose Mask Review

I love face masks - clay masks, sheet masks, jelly masks - give me ALL the masks. Life is stressful, and a nice relaxing bath at the end of the day is a great way to unwind. That’s when I cleanse my face, apply a mask of choice, and just relax for a bit. One of the masks in my current rotation is by The Saem. The Saem Natural Daily Original Rose Mask is made with Damask rose water and French rose petals. The high moisture gel nourishes the skin, and the real rose petal piece

I’m From Rice Mask Review

When I first got into kbeauty several years ago, I was all about sheet masks. The novelty of the product (even though it’s been around in Korea for a long time) lured me in. Now that I’m a more seasoned skincare user, I appreciate a great wash off mask even more than a sheet mask. There’s room in my routine for both, but wash off masks took the stage for me in 2020. I’m From Rice Mask is an exfoliating product made with rice bran and rice powder. It promises to remove dead sk

I’m From Ginseng Mask Review

I’ve been really enjoying wash off masks this year - there is something for every skin concern. One of my recent favorites is I’m From Ginseng Mask. It’s supposed to smooth and restore the skin, get rid of excess sebum, help with elasticity and purify. The mask warms up when used, which can help with the cleansing process (and feels awesome). It contains 3.97% 6 year old red ginseng extract and panax ginseng seed oil. I’m From Ginseng Mask is sold on* Wishtrend, YesStyle (use

Klairs Youthful Glow Sugar Mask Review

I’ve been a heavy Korean beauty user for several years now, and it’s getting harder and harder to surprise me. However, I have never had a product like the Klairs Youthful Glow Sugar Mask. This mask can be used in several ways - as a makeup remover / cleanser, as an exfoliator, or as a nourishing mask. Let me explain. Kaolin, grapefruit extract, raspberry oil and jojoba are blended with shea butter and other goodies to form a gently cleansing and deeply nourishing mask. And f

Buricl Tone Up Brightening Pure Pack Review

I’ve been slowly transitioning from daily sheet masks to wash off masks (I see wash off masks as being less wasteful in terms of packaging; they also take up less space). The Buricl Tone Up Brightening Pure Pack promises a brighter skin tone in just three minutes. It also has hydrating and nourishing effects. This mask is sold on eBay. This product is 7-free, meaning it doesn’t contain seven potentially harmful/controversial ingredients, such as parabens, mineral oil, BHT, ph

MISSHA Near Skin Dustless Bubble Pack To Foam Review

Cleansing just might be my favorite part of a Korean beauty routine. I find the process of removing makeup and dirt of the day deeply therapeutic. Plus, effective cleansing prepares the skin for all the wonderful subsequent skincare routine steps. Missha Near Skin Dustless Bubble Pack To Foam is a 3-in-1 product that absorbs dust particles, pulls impurities out of pores, and then turns into a foaming cleanser. It’s available on eBay and Amazon. Main ingredients: Argyle clay f

I’m From Mugwort Mask Review

The I’m From Mugwort Mask is a healing and calming treatment for red, irritated, and acne-prone skin. It typically comes in a jar and is sold on* eBay, Amazon, YesStyle (use reward code KBHOBBIT for extra savings), and Wishtrend. I have a smaller sized tube. The star ingredient in this gel wash off mask is mugwort - a traditional healing herb that is used both internally and externally (but please do not eat the mask). Mugwort grows in Asia, North America, and Northern Europe

MISSHA Black Ghassoul Tightening Mask Review

Pores… Can they ever be too small or too clean? I would say no. Finding good quality pore care products, even in Korean beauty, is difficult. My latest acquisition is MISSHA Black Ghassoul Tightening Mask, meant to clean and tighten pores, control sebum production, and help make the skin more clear. It’s available on* eBay, Amazon and YesStyle. A little side note - for years, before I discovered Korean beauty, I stayed away from clay masks. Like many others, I thought that a

Etude House Honey Cera Wrapping Mask Review

About 5 years ago I was pregnant with my daughter and decided to give myself a “beauty day” at home. It was before I knew anything about Korean skincare. I put on some kind of hair mask, slathered raw honey on my face (as honey has been long known for its moisturizing and healing properties) and started painting my nails. Once I got to the second hand (so my first hand had wet polish on), the honey started to slooooooowly but surely drip right onto my pregnant belly. And I co

Innisfree Black-Green Tea Mask Review

I love sheet masks dearly and use them almost daily, but I also enjoy a great wash off mask (meaning one you slather on, leave for some time, then rinse off). I’m already a big Innisfree fan because they use clean ingredients (no parabens, for example), and because just about every product I have tried has worked well for my skin (combination with oily t-zone and dry-to-normal cheeks). When I saw this Innisfree Black-Green Tea Mask, I couldn't say no. It's available on eBay,

Innisfree Ginger Oil Warming Mask Review

I have combination skin with prone to oiliness t-zone and dry-to-normal cheeks. I love masks, scrubs, and peeling gels - all the fun “supplemental” steps of the Korean beauty routine. Eventually, I stumbled across this mask on the internet and had to have it. Innisfree Ginger Oil Warming Mask is means to restore the skin, erase the negative effects of the environment, and result in a glowing, healthy, wrinkle-free appearance. It’s also warming, which is amazing for people lik

Skinfood Freshmade Apple Mask Review

My inner hobbit and I have recently discovered that we have absolutely no hydrating wash off masks. Blasphemy! Half of my fridge is basically hoards of sheet masks, but I had nothing in jars. How could I possibly live like this? :) I have combination skin with oily t zone and dehydration issues in the winter (which can make the skin produce even more oil). So I always try to keep my skin hydrated. Of course, in the summer the omnipresent air conditioning is also quite drying.

Mamonde Petal Purifying Mask Review

My skin: combination with an oily t-zone and dry/normal everything else, usually no major issues. My experience with bubble masks started with Elizavecca Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask. I was so pleased with it that I happily went through two jars last year. But, as usual, the heart desires something new, so instead of ordering it for the third time, I decided to expand my bubbling horizons and ordering a Mamonde Petal Purifying Bubble Mask in Rose.
