#Elizavecca Milky Piggy Egg Pack [Dalgyal Bareun KangsiPack] #Review

I few weeks ago I saw Elizavecca posted photos and videos of their Dalgyal Bareun Kangsi Pack on Facebook, and I thought it looked so fun. I recently received a package from them, and I literally squealed with excitement when I saw this mask pack was inside!

This mask is an egg pore pack. For exfoliation, whitening, and pore cleansing and tightening - you mix the powder and liquid together and apply it to your face and allow it to dry to get results. We're going to jump right in on this review, because pictures are going to do a lot of my talking...


Start with a freshly cleansed and gently dried face.

You'll take your Dalgyal Bareun KangiPack powder.

And add three "scoops" with the included spatula to clean mixing dish.

Then you'll need your Dalgyal Bareun Kansi Jjwa Jjwa Ack.

You'll add in roughly 20 pumps of liquid solution.

And you'll mix them together.

Until you get a whipped egg consistency.

Spread the mixture on your face with a flat brush.

When applied evenly (trying to avoid hair and eyebrows, as well as eye area) just sit back and wait.

After about 10 minutes your mask will look glazed over as it sets on your face.

Around 15~20 minutes the mask will be hardened, and you will feel it pulling on your face as it firms and tightens everything up.

At this point you will wash off the mask. You can use a gentle exfoliating brush if you wish, but I find that it washes away well with some warm water and massaging with my hands. Gently dry your face, and... TAH-DAH! Brightened, tightened, and refreshed!

I mean really, look at these pores...

This is a great mask that really does what it claims, is fun to use, and even helps control my oil too! This has quickly become a favorite wash-off mask of mine.

This mask is available directly from Elizavecca (Korean site).

Skin Update #3 | 2 Weeks on #Pocketderm #Curology

In my Skin Update #2 I introduced Pocketderm and explained why I was going to start using it, and showed how it had started effecting my skin after just 3 days. Today has been 2 weeks since I started using Pocketderm and I thought I would take a moment to update you on how my skin is reacting to this product and what type of progress or digression my skin might have made.

What is Pocketderm Curology?
Curology is now Pocketderm! Due to it's succress and growth, Pocketderm has renamed itself as of 9/30/2015 to Curology to represent it's caring, curing, and healing it provides for its' patients.
Curology is a tele-dermatology site that allows you to receive a prescription topical cream with three active ingredients to help you with your skin. You simply submit photos of your skin when you sign up, along with any additional information you think your dermatologist should know (and yes, the people helping you really are doctors!) and they review your photos and info to diagnosis your skin issues. Curology will curate a personalized cream for you with three out of the six active ingredients they have to offer for just $19.95 per month. You will automatically receive a new shipment of your prescription every 3 months, but if you need one sooner, you can request one from your provider. Your monthly fee for Curology not only covers your prescription, but also unlimited consultations with your provider. Check out the bottom of this post to learn how to get one month free!

Right now my skin is brighter - my dark spots are fading, as are my acne scars, and my skin looks more healthy.

I'm currently experiencing hormonal acne, which was my biggest problem since I have PCOS, but it isn't anything like it used to be. I've experienced no cystic acne (which always happened this time of the month - 3 to 7 new cysts a day) and the acne I have been getting along my jawline clears up within a day or two. The acne under my nose is gone as well. I just have some bumpiness around my chin/jawline area that has slowly been surfacing has small blackheads - my guess is they were clogged pores because they were bumpy for the past couple months, and Curology is finally pushing everything out.

I'm still very impressed with my results from Curology and cannot wait to see how my skin continues to improve down the road.

I'll be updating again in a few weeks, so be sure to check back for more comparison photos!

If you're interested in trying Curology too, you can get your first month free by signing up through my link: https://curology.com/invite/IWRCKQA

Baviphat / Urban Dollkiss: Korean Won Lifting-Up Mask (5000 KRW)
Fight sagging skin and wrinkles, and firm it up with this lifting mask! Four kinds of peptides and collagen work to restore and keep skin firm and lively.
I love the packaging of this mask! There are several of these money masks in this months' bag and I found them to be quite similar. This mask was a bit dry, I was surprised at how little essence there was. There was a faint smell to this mask but it did disappear quickly. This mask was folded up without any backing, but the mask material was very thick so it wasn't any trouble to unfold it. It did fit my face really well, even around my nose and eyes, but because it was so dry it didn't stick very well and completely dried out after 10 minutes.

Baviphat / Urban Dollkiss: US Dollar Moistfull Mask ($50 USD)
Keep your skin hydrated and resilient with this mask's aloe and honey extracts. Snail secrete filtrate adds additional moisture, and helps to firm skin.
This mask is also a bit dry, very thick, but fits my face well. I left this mask on for about 20 minutes before it dried out and felt like my face was left moist and hydrated.

Baviphat / Urban Dollkiss: China RMB Clean Mask (100 RMB)
Hyaluronic acid, fruit extracts, and vitamins work together to deep cleanse skin and leave it moisturized.
This mask had a decent amount of essence, but dried out after about 15 minutes. My skin felt soft but sticky after removal.

Baviphat / Urban Dollkiss: Japan Yen Revital Mask (10,000 Yen)
Regenerate and revitalize your skin with this mask. It includes herbal extracts, aloe extracts, as well as althase rosea extract which will help reduce inflammation.
This mask was a dry, and only lasted about 10 minutes before it wouldn't stay on my face any longer. My face felt moist and plump afterwards but I followed with another mask.

Baviphat / Urban Dollkiss: Europe Euro Solution Mask (1,000,000 EURO)
Relieve skin from daily stress and revive it with this mask. Centella Asiatica Extract, which can heal and help promote collagen growth, is included.
This mask was dry and lasted roughly 15 minutes before it had to be removed. My skin felt plump and cool afterwards, and was less red than beforehand.

Baviphat / Urban Dollkiss: UK Pound Essential Mask (20 Pounds)
This mask has ginseng callus extracts which can help increase elasticity, vitality, and encourage regeneration ability within skin cells.
Another dry mask... basic moisturizing here while it was on, but I followed with another mask.

Baviphat / Urban Dollkiss: Swiss Franc Be Light Mask (10 CHF)
This mask has seven kinds of floral extracts which work together to brighten skin. It will also reduce the appearance of dark spots with this mask.
Like all the others, this was a dry mask. Lightly hydrating and left my skin a bit sticky, but also really did leave my face brighter than before application.

Hanaka: Hydrogel Hyaluronic Acid and Cactus Eye Patch
This is a high density hydrogel patch that contains moisturizing ingredients that will effectively relieve irritation and soothe the fragile skin around your eyes. The essence in this mask contains ingredients,  such as Seaweed Extract base, that are effective in moisturizing skin.
These eye gels were so cooling! They were very jelly-like, and clear in color. They didn't really have a scent, and I liked that they were the same size on each end, they fit my under-eye area very well! These were very soothing, de-puffed my eyes and really hydrated the delicate skin underneath my eyes.

Hanaka: Hydrogel Lip Patch (Peach, Rose, or Strawberry)
This lip mask moisturizes and soothes to rejuvenate lips.
Words cannot express how much I hate floral scents/flavors in or around my mouth... thankfully even though I received the rose flavor of this lip mask, it only had a light rose scent, and I did not taste anything like flowers at all. This lip patch, like the eye gels, was very cooling, and hydrating to my lip area. It helped plump up the dead skin on my lips as well so I could easily wipe it away. Very nice!

[cosdna analysis]

Annie's Way: Sheet Mask (Style May Vary)
Annie's Way, a known name in wash-off masks from Taiwan, is also a respected one in the sheet mask category and boasts over 25 varieties. Types include anti-acne, anti-wrinkle, and even anti-allergy. A mask of thinner material ensures that more essence absorbs into your skin more effectively.
I was so excited to see this mask in this bag! I have heard so much about Annie's Way masks lately, and this seemed like such a treat to be able to try one in this bag! I received the Anti-Wrinkle variety in this bag. The material is thin, soft, and very squishy. There is very little noticeable scent, which disappears upon application. I got a pretty good fit with this mask, but because it was so stretchy, it ended up being a bit large around my eyes. It stayed on my face well and must have been holding onto much more essence than I imagined, because I removed this mask after an hour and parts of it were still very wet. My face was hydrated and plump after removal. Very nice!

Face Q: Aloe Moisture Mask
This mask has the ingredient, aloe, which is known to soothe and moisturize the skin.
This mask really does smell like aloe, but it is very light and faint (I had to stick my nose in the envelope to smell it at all). It held a lot of essence but wasn't really drippy, and there was none left in the packaging. It fit my face very well, was nice and thin, and very comfortable. My face was plump and hydrated afterwards, and in the morning my acne was smaller and less red. I think this was my favorite mask from the September Mask Maven Bag.

[cosdna analysis]

I think this was a great bag! Even though the money masks weren't my favorites, it was so much fun to try so many new masks from brands I've never tried before. Based on my experience with this bag, I think anyone who enjoys trying new masks and loves getting a bit of a surprise in the mail each month would enjoy this subscription. I found several new masks that I'd definitely purchase again from the September Mask Maven bag.

The Rein Coat | The Therapeutic Calming Coat For Pets #thereincoat

Over the years I've tried different ways to keep our chi's calm naturally. Two years ago I reviewed the Thundershirt with Ocean (who sadly passed away last year if you aren't familiar with my blog) and last year I reviewed the Anxiety Wrap with Venus. This year, I'm excited to bring you a review of The Rein Coat with Venus - and even more excited to have these past reviews under my belt to be able to give you a comparison of these different products.

What is The Rein Coat?
The Rein Coat is a Therapeutic Calming Coats made for both dogs and cats. It comes in several different sizes but all come in the color blue. There are two options for each size; Classic (has a soft black lining for colder climates) and UltraLight (thin yet strong for warmer climates). Pricing varies based on size chosen.

Material:
Venus received the Classic Rein Coat with a soft black fleece lining to keep her warm in the winter. The blue outsize material is a strong ripstop material that resists moisture.
This is very different from both the Anxiety Wrap and Thundershirt, as they are both made from soft cloth material.

Design:
The Rein Coat is designed like an actual jacket for pets to be worn outdoors, and fastens snugly around your pet to help them feel secure and safe. There are different belts & buckles to give your pet a one-of-a-kind secure fit with their Rein Coat and ensure they do not get loose while outdoors if you are using a leash with your coat as well.
Both the Thundershirt and the Anixety Wrap allow for adjusting, but not with heavy-duty buckles. The Thundershirt only allows for two adjusting wrap pieces, and the Anxiety Wrap offers adjustability with its bungees but is just one solid piece of fabric that slides over your pet.

How did it work for Venus?
We received the size Medium Plus, when Venus' measurements indicated she should have received a size Small, so we did have trouble adjusting the fit for her and getting a proper fit. This did not fit exactly right now matter how much adjusting I did, but I was able to get a feel for how The Rein Coat should work, and it was good enough for Venus to run around in outdoors.

I was very impressed with how secure the stitching of everything is, and there there is no looseness on the harness area of the coat - this made it easy to walk Venus. This worked similarly to the Thudershirt and the Anixety Wrap in that is was calming, but of course not a miracle worker.

The thing I loved most about The Rein Coat, however, is that is ready for outdoor use. Venus' biggest trigger is other people and dogs' she sees outdoors - she's very overprotective so she is easily aggravated when others get too close to us that she doesn't know. This is difficult outdoors on walks or sometimes just spending time in the yard. Instead of using a product like the Thundershirt or the Anxiety Wrap plus a coat and/or harness over the top, upsetting Venus by securing so many layers, we can put on her Rein Coat and she's ready to go outside! The calming effect she receives from The Rein Coat is enough to give us a much better walking experience.
