Review: FaceQ Grape Seed + Green Tea Facial Masks

Hello everyone! Ah, finally found some time to relax and post for you guys! Yesterday was so fun. I got to spend some well needed time with my parents and we went to the Korean bakeries in Annandale and got to stop by my favorite store, Lil' Thingamajigs and my favorite restaurant in Annandale which is Yechon. I splurged on myself this time since I got a bonus in my paycheck. Don't worry, I put money in my savings!! I will put pictures up after the post! (OH AND I DYED MY HAIR!!!) Anyways, today I want to do a review on a product I have been using since December and have gotten pretty good results from. So I hope you all enjoy and find it useful!

I would like to state that this is not a sponsored review. This is an item I have purchased with my own money and used on my own time. Also, keep in mind that everyone has different skin types, so you may get a different result from using this product.

So FaceQ is actually the first brand of facial masks that I ever used. I ordered the full box from SaSa.com and didn't get a chance to use them right away, however once I got a chance to use them...I was pretty pleased and have been ever since.

What are the main details?

FaceQ boxes are so cute. They always feature a little female character along with a patterned background. This box carries a little girl with lavender hair and clothes swinging with a floral background. Cute, right? The box carries 10 masks in individual packages. I paid $12.50 for the whole box on SaSa.com, however you may be able to get individual masks, although I cannot find them.

What's in the product?

The main ingredient for these masks are grape seeds. Grape seeds contain proanthocyanidin, which prevent the formation of wrinkles, loss of lustre, and resilience that can occur from damage by oxidation. The masks also have hyaluronic acid which replenishes moisture along with green tea and wasabi extracts which brighten and smooths skin and minimizes pores.

Has it been tested?

If you can read Chinese and tell me, that'd be great. SaSa.com does not indicate whether or not it has been tested.

Thoughts on the product?

I will admit, I have extremely high hopes for this face mask since it was my very first box. It didn't live up to the CRAZY expectations I had, but I do enjoy using the masks. I try to use them as often as possible to keep my skin moisturized and brightened since my acne has been flaring up again. The very first time I used them, I didn't see immediate results, so don't get your hopes up. But, with constant and weekly use, your skin will improve in brightness and your face will feel tighter. I personally, do not go by the directions on the box which say to keep the mask on for like 15-20 minutes. I leave the mask on until it is almost completely dry so my skin can absorb the goodness on its own. Once I take it off, I rub the mask on my face once more then my neck. Then throw it away.  It's something so simple and it does help with relaxing and pampering yourself.

Pros:

Price is rather cheap for an overseas brand.

Shipping is cheap as well.

Very cool and relaxing on the skin.

Smells great.

Results are great as well.

Cons:

Takes a while to arrive in the mail.

Results are not immediate.

Box is in Chinese, which I cannot read.

Would I recommend this product?

I would indeed. I would personally give this product a 3.9 out of 5 maybe even a 4. I may buy another brand, but I will always keep a box of FaceQ around just in case. :)

So that's my review. I hoped you all found it helpful...but now it's time to move on to the mini-haul and the picture of my new hair color!

Yesterday, I got to spend time with my parents and we decided to go to Annandale since it has a lot of Korean stores, bakeries, and restaurants. And I kind of...had a little too much fun with buying pastries, stuff for school, and what not...

I got 3 packs of origami lucky star paper, some pencils and markers, a notebook, 2 facial masks, box of eye masks, 4 packages of mochi cakes, strawberry cookies, box of macarons, red bean donut, and red bean bread. And yes, this is splurging for me. I tend not to buy a lot of stuff lately, so I can save up for potential expenses...like paying off my car. Or an apartment. T'would be nice, right? But God blessed me with a bonus and a day to spend with my family! So I am thankful.

Now onto my hair...

Black & Blonde BABY! I told the lady that I wanted something classy with a hint of edge and she got it perfect! I am so thrilled...I can't wait to style it and my goal for the summer is to perfect curling. I think I am going to do braids tomorrow!! Ahhh...Sorry I got excited. :)

Alrighty guys! That is all I have for you today! I hope you ladies enjoyed~! Have a wonderful rest of the week and take care!!

Thanks for reading~! <3

With love,
