1st Impression Review: Missha Pure Source Pocket Pack in Tea Tree

Hello lovely people! This post will be a first impression review of the MISSHA Pure Source Pocket Pack in Tea Tee. 

A lovely someone sent me 5 of this so I figured, why not try it and give an honest review about this😊

As you see from the picture below, description and what-have-you are written in Korean. And since I don't read Korean, I googled information about this product. According to influenster.com, this products gives a "brightening and lifting effect and offers deep hydration and nutrients to skin".

 Currently I am using Garnier Light Complete Yoghurt Sleeping Mask. So far, I have no problem with product. 

This is like my night moisturizer and then I just leave it on my face and wash it the following morning.

Back to the Missha pack, according to roseroseshop.com, this product can be used in 3 ways: (1) as a peel off pack which you apply a thick layer and then after 20-30 minutes, peel off the dry mask; (2) as a sleeping pack, in which applying a moderate amount of the product is the last step in your routine, leave it on and wash the next morning; 

(3) lastly as a wash-off pack ,where you apply this on your face and wash after 10 minutes.

 The product is like a clear gel. As for the smell, I was quite expecting a stronger  scent similar to that of The Body Shop's Tea Tree Oil, but this one has just a hint of tea tree scent. I can't say if that's a good thing or a bad thing, as others like the strong scent of tea tree while others prefer not much.

Of the 3 ways to use this product, I decided to use it as a sleeping mask, just as my routine with the Garnier pack. 

I washed my face with Cure which I must say is a very good and gentle exfoliant. I then used my Celeteque Oil-Control toner and lastly I've put a good amount of this Missha pack in my face. I consumed half of the pack so I guess one of this is good for 2 nights use.

I used this around 9:17 PM, and my face looks very wet because of it. I didn't experience any tingling or sting while I have it on. At 9:40 PM , the product was completely dry and absorbed by my skin. I tried touching my face and it has a bit of sticky feel; same as when you touch a scotch tape. Nonetheless, it wasn't really that bothering.

The following day,  I noticed my skin did looked "brighter" and feels tight, or perhaps this was the "lifting" effect of the product. So glad that it did not leave any marks on my pillowcase.

Overall, I can say that this product is good. However for everyday use, I'd still prefer the Garnier mask since because it dries faster than this one. I'd gladly bring this product with me when I am travelling since the Garnier package is quite heavy and bulky.

How about you? What Korean skin care products are you using and swear by? 

Let me know so I can try them as well 😊😊😊

Hello Life, Hello 2017

Hello lovely readers! I am back from my loooong hiatus  (almost 10 months!) and for this post I just want to share whats going on in my life and the  hello’s of my 2017☺

Hello 2017, Hello New Career

Since 2013, I have worked as a Market Research Specialist for a non-bank financial institution. I had fun, learned a lot, made many many friends and acquaintances, struggled on some projects, beat deadlines and kicked ass on my stay there. But you come to the point that you want MORE, and I am not just talking about  income here but also career advancement. It was my main struggle in the last months of 2016; thankfully though I got an offer last November and I started my 2017 with a new career. I am now working as a Marketing Services Executive for a multinational pharmaceutical company, and surely I got the “MORE” I was looking for.

Hello 2017, Hello Love Life

Perhaps this is the 1st time EVER that I will be talking about my love life. I have always kept things private about this and I intend to keep it that way. Yes it is not always rainbows and butterflies but I just want to share how happy I am right now. This person makes my every waking day so worth it *blush*

Hello 2017, Hello Makeup

Yes 2017 was an amazing whirlwind as I started my new job, but that didn't keep me from my interest and passion. I have been doing makeup for proms, graduation and soon will be doing weddings as well. I know I am still far cry from those amazing makeup artists but I am  pleased that I can still pursue this. I plan to take an intermediate course this year to learn new techniques and of course upgrade my kit befitting a pro. 

Hello 2017, Hello Healthy Me

No I won't be promoting any diet here or a gym/workout you should try. This year though I vowed to start taking care of my health: eat better, sleep enough, be more active and take lots of water are some of my goals for this year. My goal is no longer about losing weight, but to live a healthy and happy life. Here are some of the steps I made for this goal:

• I used the FitBit watch that I got last December; at first I wasn't really happy about having this watch but now I really appreciate that I get to track my steps for the day (my current goal is at 7,000) as well as the hours of sleep that I get. 
• Downloaded a "Drink" app which reminds me to consume water.
• Letting go negativity; may it be a toxic person or a toxic environment.

Well we are already half of 2017 but I can sense that the remaining months will be as exciting and full of blessings☺
