Etude Moonlight in Spoon Blending Sleeping Cream Review #1

   Hi everyone!

   It's the time of the week for another review. I'm kinda lazy nowadays so I decided to have 1-2 reviews per week though I still got tons of stuff to review. Anyway, let me start with this sleeping mask from Etude that I purchased during the holidays, Etude's Moonlight in Spoon Blending Sleeping Cream (mouthful for a name AGAIN). This will be part one because I have 2 variants here and I haven't used the other one yet. The one I will review is the Clear and Moist variant which has green tea as the main ingredient. This variant is for oily/troubled skin. This product is a sleeping mask. This is meant to be the last step in one's night beauty routine.

   This sleeping mask is available in 8 variants and caters to different skin types and needs. I chose the Clear & Moist variant first because I got heaps of pimples and whiteheads during the holiday season. According to the packet, it contains green tea extract, lavender, chamomile, and mint. It claims to soothe and purify skin overnight for a clear, moonlight-like complexion.

Directions on how to use the product.

Looks like a cute spoon huh?

The carton pack with Korean and English details and instructions written on it. 

   The product looks like an egg yolk when it has not been blended yet so cute. It has a gel part and cream part which you need to blend with the upper part of the spoon. The product smells like green tea which I find very relaxing. I have consumed all of it already and these pictures were taken after I opened the product. Anyway, it has a mid-creamy consistency since it has jelly part prior to blending. It says on the instructions to consume the product immediately on the face and neck. Since I never follow instructions 100%, I used it for like 4 nights hihihi. I placed it inside the ref with clingwrap. I prefer using it cold because it is more relaxing. I rinse the product off with lukewarm water in the morning and end up with soft skin and smaller pimples.

PROS:
- looks so cute
- affordable (PhP 88 each)
- many variants to choose from
- makes skin soft the next day
- helps in fighting or minimizing pimples
- not sticky 
- pleasant scent

CONS:
- green tea variant is not very moisturizing
- small

   Overall, I love this product because it helped me with my pimples. I just hope that it could help in reducing pimple scars as well but I need another variant for that. I guess everyone wants to wake up with soft skin right? So i guess using this product is the one you are looking for. I give this baby a 5 out of 5! 

Etude Tea Tree Mask Review

   I am not a fan of sheet mask. As you have seen and read on my previous entries, I'm into wash-off type of masks because I can use them repeatedly for a long duration of time compared to sheet type. Today I will share my views about Etude's Tea Tree Mask.

   I have only used sheet masks from Etude. I never purchase one. I got them as freebies from purchases. Prior to this mask I will review, I have tried the Pomegranate and White Pearl variants and that was 3 years ago. I have some variants here courtesy of my favorite online sellers. Today's featured product came from Margarita Shop. I just love that simple message personally written by Ms. Maryan, the shop's owner. She always include a personal thank you note on every purchase I make and this time it was written on the mask package.

   Etude's sheet masks have changed its packaging. The 2 pictures above are its latest packaging. Each variant is meant for a particular skin type or skin concern.

   The tea tree mask contains tea tree extracts that claim to provide a fresh and clean complexion because of its soothing properties. The packaging is neat and cute. The back's got korean and english printed details about the product. The manufacturing date's stamped at the bottom part. It is to be used within 24 months from the manufacturing date. The mask smells like tea. I simply love it. It is not overwhelming ang I find it relaxing. The actual sheet is dripping wet. That's one thing I hate about using sheet masks. It is dripping and you cannot do anything but lie down and relax. I'm into multi-tasking so I had no freakin' choice during the time I wore this mask. I removed the excess liquid off it before I removed it from the packaging. According to the packaging, to use this mask, you need to apply toner after cleansing and place the mask to fit eye and lip area. Remove the mask after 10-15 minutes and lightly massage remaining solution into skin with hands. When I used this mask I waited until the exposed part of the mask was almost dry. I wanted the solution to fully sink into my skin before removing it. After removing the mask, I massaged the remaining solution in my face and neck. I forgot to mention, I chose to use the tea tree variant at that time because I had 2 pesky pimples on my right cheek. The next day, I woke up with less oil on my face and my pores aren't that huge AND my pimples have subsided. I swear! I slept with 2 big pimples and woke up with 2 red dots. It was magic! 

PROS:
- has a nice scent 
- mild
- affordable (PhP 58 a pack)
- effective in controlling pimples
- soothing and relaxing
- does not cause breakout

CONS:
- excessive solution
- drips
- a bit sticky after the mask has been removed

   The Tea Tree mask is suitable for people with oily/combination skin and those with acne or pimples. I highly recommend this one if you want instant relief and remedy. A whopping 5 out of 5 for this precious thing!!!
