If its winter and for some reason my skin gets dry (which is rare), I'll suck it up and put on some lotion, but I have to was my hands immediately after! But all the time I'm like, "ohh this lotion smells like roses! I love roses! Maybe putting it on my skin won't disgust me like every other lotion in the world! *add to cart*" And I have way more lotion than I could ever possibly use! (which isn't that much, but when I use it less than once a month, it NEVER disappears!)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11300043254237614435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-14682703510180344472016-01-02T14:53:26.501-08:002016-01-02T14:53:26.501-08:00Hey hey girl! *wave*

It's funny because I think we might have opposite skincare personalities. I actually like the CosRx 'Honey' sleeping pack, it's a gel so it doesn't feel heavy like even moisturizers do on my skin. It also sinks most of the way into my skin in about 10 minutes. I like modeling masks as well. They aren't necessarily moisturizing for me but they help the texture of my skin, it really feels soft afterwards. It's definitely messy but once it's on I can walk around. On the other hand I check the time every 3 minutes when I'm suffering through a sheet mask. ;) I hope the modeling mask you try works well for you!jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06338842466402348404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-84224358951660502172015-12-15T01:45:55.632-08:002015-12-15T01:45:55.632-08:00Lucky I'm not a mask sheet fan.

Esp CUTE skincare. I think I got lucky in that I hauled a lot of stuff early on in my skincare phase that was on sale, some hyped stuff, and then wasn't dazzled by any of it. I didn't spend a ton (well under $100) but I was like -- none of that was great. So it made me think carefully. Now I'm preferring much more moderate "hauls" but buying with intent and care. I like the results :)Colette Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01252795146028186930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-9874844020359331762015-12-13T08:16:17.632-08:002015-12-13T08:16:17.632-08:00I have no problems with number one with the sheet...I have no problems with number one with the sheet masks because I cannot take fragrances. I got a leaders insolution mask as a sample from my wishtrend order and damn shit smells strongly and badly. It's a very chemical cosmetic product smell. I got 2 I really cannot use it so I gotta find someone and give that mask away. And I notice with Korean masks 99% of them have fragrance added. It's very easy for me to say hell no. Also I like the saeki chizu 3minute lotion masks. They're definitely effective for hydration.
