While Tony Moly is iconic for their cute packaging their whimsical designs bleed over into their beauty products as well. When I saw these little mustaches lined up by the register, for only $4 dollars, I couldn't help but purchase a couple for myself and boyfriend. <br />
<br />

<br />
This hydrogel mask is pretty straight forward, just peel off the back and stick 'em on your face. More specifically, where your smile lines are.<br />
<br />
According to the Tony Moly site the Mr. Smile Patch mask utilizes the essences of black sesame, blueberries, and mulberry to minimize your smile lines and promote smoothness in your skin. Stick the smile patches on your face and leave them on for 20-30 minutes.<br />

The hydrogel patches are pretty thick and smell more floral than fruity. They're very lightly scented though, so I wasn't too bothered when I slapped them on my face.<br />

For ideal smile line placement the patches should probably be angled a little further down.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGZ6AGIAfOipR0E6kR46Sc2kBDwUxP0uqR5YMLTwxIIOGooqoEF1ug7FRUPmYAcRZW_z5KikRvfwWUjKIs1c8J2qvDdCVn_uMcU7R04PnbOxYFW9jqn2UE1NCLfFiCcf7EVQyRM8K_/s1600/IMG_3476_Fotor.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGZ6AGIAfOipR0E6kR46Sc2kBDwUxP0uqR5YMLTwxIIOGooqoEF1ug7FRUPmYAcRZW_z5KikRvfwWUjKIs1c8J2qvDdCVn_uMcU7R04PnbOxYFW9jqn2UE1NCLfFiCcf7EVQyRM8K_/s640/IMG_3476_Fotor.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<br />
For pictures I think the traditional mustache placement looks best. The one thing that really annoyed me while I was waiting the 30 minutes for the patches to "work" was that they kept on slipping off my face. It was a constant battle of readjustment and after awhile I just gave up and lay prone reading a book.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTrqSRf5DtGHwdwMWJmvTofQkNTeDxI_QSdHvIOr4_LoE8WARP3r-CsHsaM2J6UKZ5emxMYsz7iHPIXouyFX2qYokLqEfYoaJT1dRzC4XPErOOxr9bTq5w456Ic-lNE-fzmUJzP0-r/s1600/IMG_3488_Fotor_Collage_Fotor.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTrqSRf5DtGHwdwMWJmvTofQkNTeDxI_QSdHvIOr4_LoE8WARP3r-CsHsaM2J6UKZ5emxMYsz7iHPIXouyFX2qYokLqEfYoaJT1dRzC4XPErOOxr9bTq5w456Ic-lNE-fzmUJzP0-r/s640/IMG_3488_Fotor_Collage_Fotor.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
Additionally I didn't see a huge difference after the 30 minutes. Certainly my skin was more hydrated, having had something wet placed on my face for a period of time, but I didn't think my smile lines were diminished or my skin was much smoother than before.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAjtT-i_lftDMEqb-2qjVLpubpEnXuN_mpC2A28NdZqDhz50U7IxzJI9zKh_T-uFod84XtVE3jGIZU5TnvgXYB77aDkm8HzqBNzTH4QjZ_JzY28fngoP1whhvr-Gd8Z16AZ3llGa4B/s1600/ba2_Fotor.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAjtT-i_lftDMEqb-2qjVLpubpEnXuN_mpC2A28NdZqDhz50U7IxzJI9zKh_T-uFod84XtVE3jGIZU5TnvgXYB77aDkm8HzqBNzTH4QjZ_JzY28fngoP1whhvr-Gd8Z16AZ3llGa4B/s640/ba2_Fotor.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
Here are some basic before and afters. I feel like I'm smiling harder in the "before" photo, but as you can see there wasn't a significant difference.<br />

If you're looking to take a cute selfie, I would recommend buying these, but if you're thinking that this product will have a beneficial effect on your skin...you'd be mistaken. I probably won't purchase these again, but they made for a cute 30 minutes of taking some selfies.<br />

So I keep on mentioning that Tony Moly has adorable packaging, but I haven't showed you any of their products that actually adhere to this rule. Well, today that's all going to change.<br />

<br />
Here's a member of the Tony Moly "Egg Pore" line, their "Tightening Cooling Pack." I actually purchased this thinking it was the "Egg Pore Blackhead Steam Balm." It wasn't. Which isn't to say that it's bad! Both products come in very similar packaging with the only difference being the color: white or brown. <br />
<br />

<br />
It just had a different application than what I wanted. Like most people on this planet, I'm constantly looking for a product that will rid my nose of pesky blackheads. I've heard fantastic things about the "Black Head Steam Balm," but that review will have to wait for another time. The cooling pack's primary function is to minimize pores, tighten skin and restore elasticity.<br />

Let me start off this official review by saying there's <a href="http://www.realsimple.com/beauty-fashion/skincare/skincare-face/shrink-your-pores">no way to truly minimize your pore size</a>. According to science, and Google, your pore size is genetically predetermined, so I didn't go into trying out this product with those expectations. Instead I was thinking about its oil controlling properties, acne fighting properties, and overall skin health.<br />

First thing that I immediately notice, the texture is WEIRD. It's aerated clay. It feels very spongey and has a bouncy texture. You don't be able to sink your fingers in, spoon it out and spread it on your skin. You'll have to break it apart and smooth a little "mask nugget" over you skin.<br />
<br />
The second thing I noticed was the quantity that you get. I expected the egg to be more than half full of product, but you really only get the bottom third of the plastic egg filled with mask. You only get 30 grams of product.<br />
<br />

Despite the strange texture the mask was easy to smooth on my face. With clay masks I prefer an opaque covering of mask to really absorb all the impurities from my face.<br />

Most of the masks that I use are clay based, I've tried bentonite, kaolin, and umbrian clay, and I find they really help with oil and sebum control. Waiting the 10-15 minutes wasn't unbearable, I just queued up some youtube videos and sat down.<br />

Unlike the rest of the clay masks that I've had the pleasure of trying, that crack and crumble when they dry, this mask coalesced together and really did feel like it had a "tightening" effect. It was a bit difficult to talk after the mask had fully dried. </div>
<br />

After I washed the mask off my skin felt really good. My skin didn't feel stripped, but I did notice whatever bubbling breakouts I had underneath my skin became smaller.<br />
<br />

<br />
This before and after picture is slightly deceiving, as the after makes my skin look more angry and red, but the next morning when I applied my makeup my skin's texture was phenomenal and looked markedly different. Again, I don't think it can "shrink pores," but in terms of acne fighting powers, sebum control and skin refining this is a pretty good mask.<br />
<br />
The real drawback for me, is that you get a small amount of product. On the other hand it retails for $13 so that's not necessarily too bad? The ultimate test is whether I'd purchase it again and yes I would. Despite the small negative of the amount of product, I felt like this mask offered something new and beneficial to my skin.<br />
<br />
I hope this review helps anyone looking to invest in this product! I purchased mine from the Tony Moly flagship store, but if you're curious, here's a purchase link below:<br />

I was shopping at Urban Outfitters when I saw the blue Kocostar Foot Therapy package nestled in with all the Tony Moly goodies they stocked. A friend of mine, who worked for Soko Glam's Klog, did a review a while back on a <a href="http://sokoglam.com/blogs/news/14115277-the-review-smile-foot-peeling-by-the-faceshop">Faceshop's "Smile Foot Peeling"</a> pack. Intrigued by the foot peeling phenomenon, I had to purchase this pack and try it for myself. Luckily, I was able to force boyfriend into trying it too.<br />
<br />
He's more religious about running than I am, but it's safe to say that both of our feet have taken a beating and, unfortunately, we're not very diligent about giving them some well needed TLC.<br />

When you open up the packet, don't expect it to be like a traditional face mask. It's dry and the little "painter's booties" are self sealed! Cut them open, jam your little feet-sies in and use the tabs to adjust for a tighter fit.<br />

They were easy to get on, but sitting still for an hour and a half was actually a bit difficult. I'm naturally a fidgety person with a small bladder, so the only advice I would give is go to the bathroom first and turn on Netflix, Hulu, Youtube or whatever floats your boat and sit still.<br />

The hour and a half passed by uneventfully and I didn't feel unpleasant tingling or burning. In fact, I felt nothing at all! Which made me curious to see if the treatment truly worked. Our feet were also pretty pristine after removing the "foot mask" and washing our feet off.<br />

My feet felt a little "tight" due to dryness, but it wasn't unbearable. You can see that my feet are a little red and irritated.<br />

Boyfriend's foot had significant shedding and continued on for about a week. He said that his foot did feel softer, but it didn't have any effect on his blister. I think continued use of the foot mask would be more effective.<br />

My shedding was significantly less, but still there. I really wanted the callous on the ball of my foot to go down or get softer, but again I think one treatment was not effective enough.<br />
<br />
Would I buy this again? Yes probably! We definitely grossed out all of our friends, but I think routine use of this foot pack would definitely give you softer feet. However, there's no way to target specific callouses or blisters in this pack (since you're wrapping your foot in the mask) and I would be worried about how the rest of my foot would hold out. I think I would probably use this once a month?<br />

Long time no see right?<br />
<br />
I've put something a little new together that I hope you will like! I started blogging a long time ago to provide information that I thought would be useful to people when purchasing stuff on the internet. I'm not a very strong writer, so thank you for your patience, but it's always a bit difficult for me to type out something that balances humor and information.<br />
<br />
So I've given a new form of a media a try....YouTube! I have a small collection of videos on there now, but I wanted to link my first one here. Let me know what you think!<br />

Day Number 3 of the Tony Moly 5. Day Project! As mentioned previously, the peeling and water glowing masks treated me well. I'll mention the same disclaimer as in my last post. Even though this post is coming much later than the original "Day 1" post, I completed this mask set in the allotted 5 days. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Since it's been a while, let me refresh your memory on the five masks that come with the program. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

The masks, in order, are:<br />
<a href="http://fafofi.blogspot.com/2015/09/tony-moly-5-day-mask-project-day-one.html">Day 1: Peeling</a><br />
<a href="http://fafofi.blogspot.com/2016/05/tony-moly-5-day-mask-project-day-two.html">Day 2: Water Glowing</a><br />
Day 3: Toning<br />
Day 4: Lifting<br />
Day 5: Total<br />

I didn't expect this to work wonders (I<i> wish</i> there was a single treatment that could even out my skin), but since the first two masks went so well, I had high hopes for this mask too!<br />

Like the water glowing mask, this mask is made of plant cellulose as opposed to paper or cotton.<br />

The mask experience was the same as the previous mask: cool, refreshing and relaxing.<br />

Despite the change in lighting between the before and after photos, I do think the cooling nature and the vitamin C lightened my redness a little bit! I don't think it did anything for my hyper pigmentation though.<br />
<br />
Between Day 2 and Day 3 I didn't think there was that big of a difference. My skin was certainly happier and my acne was getting better, but I didn't have that "stare in the mirror" moment like I had after Day 1.<br />
<br />
Onward to Day 4!<br />

Day Number 2 of the Tony Moly 5. Day Project! I was pleasantly surprised with the first "peeling" mask. I felt that it had visible results on my oily, sensitive, acne prone skin. Even though this post is coming much later than the original "Day 1" post, I completed this mask set in the allotted 5 days. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Since it's been a while, let me refresh your memory on the five masks that come with the program. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
The masks, in order, are:<br />
<a href="http://fafofi.blogspot.com/2015/09/tony-moly-5-day-mask-project-day-one.html">Day 1: Peeling</a><br />
Day 2: Water Glowing<br />
Day 3: Toning<br />
Day 4: Lifting<br />
Day 5: Total<br />

My skin before! You can still see some of the Tony Moly Shocking Lip, Lip Stain I was using lingering on my lips. That stuff stays! After the "peeling" mask of silk and clay my skin was happy to receive the promised "moisture" from the water glowing mask.<br />

This mask uses plant cellulose to hydrate your skin. According to the back the cellulose holds onto the essence the mask is soaked in and transfers its beneficial properties into your skin.<br />

The cellulose didn't feel too different from a regular paper mask, but, pulling gently on the mask a couple of times, I felt it had a higher tensile strength than paper.<br />

Popping the mask on, the essence was slightly more watery than a usual mask, but was cooling and relaxing to my skin. I think these are pretty common properties of any face mask though.<br />

With masks like these I always try and wait a little bit longer than the suggested 20-30 minutes. After all, it's just a longer period of letting the essence soak into your skin! </div>

I pushed this mask to 50 minutes, but it was getting slightly itchy on my face. I peeled it off and used the remaining essence in the pack to re-moisturize my skin. <br />

After the 50 minutes, my skin felt hydrated, bouncy and happy. My skin was a tad dried out by the first day's mask, but the "water glowing mask" definitely made up for it. Although the redness in my skin wasn't very diminished, as I finished the rest of my PM night routine, I felt that my skin was smoother and more hydrated.<br />
<span id="goog_210662155"></span><br />
Looking at my skin there isn't really a visible difference, but it certainly felt better. At this point, I was pretty hooked and excited to see what pack three had in store!<br />

You can never go wrong with black or lace. Here's a simple outfit that I wore during the "bridging" seasons. Way back when actually! This was when the summer was just turning into fall...in 2015.<br />

The Dog Days of Summer have come and gone, but I'm still holding on to this last week of sunshine before the fall weather kicks in. I found the key to effortless outfits is keeping it easy, breezy and silky. </div>

The top is from &Other Stories and the shorts are from Club Monaco. I've paired the whole outfit, as usual, with my Coach Penny Purse and my gold pair of Sam Edelman Sandals.<br />

Sometimes I think the best way to casually enjoy a day is to go without any clumsy adornments. I really love dainty bracelets and rings, but my hands are so petite almost nothing fits me. I also felt I didn't have the right necklace in my arsenal to accessorize this outfit correctly.<br />

This was the most expensive thing in my Tony Moly haul. I was shocked. One, because the store didn't have a price tag anywhere<i> near</i> this mask set, and two, <u>THERE ARE ONLY 5 MASKS</u>. That's $10.80 for each mask!! Which altogether is nowhere near SK-II's masks or the "fancier" brand sheet masks at Sephora, but I definitely had some sticker shock when the clerk rang me up.<br />
<br />
On the box the 5 Day Project promises: "A clinical-quality sheet with vegetable stem cells, it promotes skin exfoliation for total skin care and gives 5 types of care."<br />
<br />

<br />
I bought this mask set over individual masks because it was packaged as a complete set. With other masks one can argue that you need prolonged use or multiple uses to get the "full benefits" of the mask. This comes packaged in a 5 Day Format, so I think you should at least expect to see results after 5 Days.<br />
<br />
The masks, in order, are:<br />
Day 1: Peeling<br />
Day 2: Water Glowing<br />
Day 3: Toning<br />
Day 4: Lifting<br />
Day 5: Total<br />
<br />

So let's start off with Day One, shall we? As you can see on the package, the mask isn't a traditional face mask, but instead a "peel-off" mask composed of densely woven silk and a special mud. I didn't understand what they meant by "peel-off" mask, but you'll come on the journey of discovery with me. </div>

On the back of the mask it touts this description: "The peel-off mask is a new-concept mask created by the combination of highly dense silk and special mud. It makes skin smooth and bright by absorbing old dead skin cells and impurities from skin with its ingredients of volcanic ash extract and seaweed extract."</div>

The mask itself came in three separate parts: a white 'barrier" layer, the silk mask, and a brown application layer.<br />

The mask stuck together a little bit and I had a hard time separating all the layers and applying them on my face.<br />

The texture of this mask was really quite different. I was partially afraid I was going to destroy it by pulling it apart incorrectly, but I realized after manipulating the sheet for a little while the silk is quite strong. I tried to follow the instructions as much as I could, but I actually messed up immediately. You're supposed to put your top piece on first and your bottom piece later to layer.<br />

I feel like these masks have a pretty quick drying time. You have a span of maybe 2-3 minutes where you can play around and adjust them on your face, but the mud and silk combo begins to harden quite quickly. </div>

I tried to maximize the amount of "mask to skin coverage" there was by smoothing out all the creases that appeared during application.<br />

Behold! Leatherface. Terrifying, I know. After you're satisfied with the placement and overlap of the two halves, you now have to wait for 40 minutes for it to dry. The drying process wasn't too difficult, but it certainly wasn't necessarily a "relaxing" experience. With all "mud" based masks the drying process can be slightly irritating. The mask dried so tightly around my face I was unable to talk after 20 minutes. As the mask dried I could feel it pulling the oil from my skin. Which is a good thing! Albeit a bit uncomfortable.<br />

<br />
After the allotted time has elapsed and you look like a straight up serial killer, start peeling the dried mask away from your face, beginning with the parts closest to your ears.<br />
<br />

You can visibly see where the mask didn't dry completely. This made the removal on my cheeks very easy, although it makes me wonder if my cheeks received the full benefits of this mask. The removal took slightly longer and was slightly more painful than I thought. The peeling sensation was similar to using a blackhead strip.<br />

<br />
I definitely didn't peel the mask all off in one go, my pain tolerance was a little too low, but overall the mask wasn't difficult to get off.<br />

I think that this mask actually made a pretty big difference in my skin. I know that my inflamed red areas definitely calmed down, partially because of the dusk-like sediment the mask left behind, but I also felt like it shrank my active acne.<br />

As I say over and over again on this blog, my true weakness is lip products. Lipsticks to me don't require too much skill in application and I can always count on a bright pop of color to elevate my mood. If you know me–I'm looking at you <a href="http://www.malucentmirror.com/">Malucent Makeup</a>–you know that my ultimate kryptonite is a red lipstick. I have a million reds, but I always, always want more.<br />
<br />
<b>TLDR: I like it! The longevity is pretty good. I needed a reapplication after eating a spaghetti bolognese lunch, but other than that I was impressed with the staying power. It's a deep red that makes my teeth whiter and I like the consistency of the formula. It's not drying, but it's not moisturizing either. It also smells like a fruit roll up. </b><br />

The Tony Moly Shocking Lip was pointed out to me by the sales associate when I asked about her favorite item in the store. She told me that the lip stain was new and that you had to be very careful during application, because it stains and <i>sets</i>. If you mess up or go outside your lip line, you're done. I was totally sold when I saw a giant cardboard cutout of Tony Moly spokeswoman HyunA rocking her signature red lip using this product.<br />

This was the most expensive of all the lip products I walked away with. For $22, you get 7 grams of product in a large container. The packaging is pretty big, so you won't easily be able to slip this into your clutch if you're going out, but you don't need to worry too much about re-application. What the sales associate said was totally true.<br />

This lipstain has a a traditional doe-foot applicator and is very easy to apply. Just to reiterate, be careful during application and feel free to use a lip brush for even more precision.<br />

The consistency of the lipstain is somewhere between a lip lacquer and a water stain, but to me it most resembles a gel. This might actually be my favorite red lip product at the moment, not only because of it's longevity, but also because it stains a deep red and has a demi-matte finish. It also smells really fruity and tasty–think fruit roll ups–even though I'm 1000% sure you're not supposed to eat it.<br />

It's not as drying as traditional lip stains, but it's certainly not moisturizing either.<br />

I purposefully didn't reapply the lipstain just to see how long it would last and I think it did pretty well! Even though it looks a little patchy, my lips are still colored. Also, if you layer your lipstain the longevity goes way up.<br />
<br />
Just to do a true test of longevity, I applied one swipe of this lipstain before I went to work (at 7:30am) and took pictures throughout the day to see the wear. The last photo I took was at 6:30pm when I got home. I applied lip balm to make sure that my lips would stay hydrated, and I think that negatively affected the staying power of the stain.<br />

<br />
You can definitely see in the last two photos that my lips are chapped and dry. I could have probably gone with a quick reapplication after lunch, but it still seemed to hold up pretty ok. Without the lipbalm, I think it would have lasted a little better.<br />
<br />
I also like this stain because you can layer it pretty well and use it to do the "gradient lip" that's so popular in Korea.<br />

<br />
Overall, I like the formulation. It stays on pretty well, it smells good and comes in three additional colors: Pink Shocking, Ruby Shocking and Orange Shocking. Although it is a little pricey, I may have to pick up another one of these.<br />

I don't know where other bloggers find beautiful urban areas that are completely devoid of people. I feel like every time I want to take an OOTD I always feel that flush of embarrassment when other people are watching. However, I wore this outfit to go on a date with Boyfriend to the Harvard Art Museums. So it was a good excuse to act like tourists and take photos all over the Harvard Yard. </div>

I love black skirts, I think they're a versatile and staple piece to anyone's wardrobe and I treat buying black skirts like my second job. I saw this one for sale at Club Monaco (Who's surprised at all that I shop there) and I knew I had to grab it. I felt the fit was very flattering and the texture of the skirt makes it able to break up monochrome outfits and also double as an interesting color-blocking piece.<br />

<br />
So when my sister and I walked into Tony Moly, the first thing we saw was their mask stand. I think because everyone is obsessed with Tony Moly facemasks that staff was hardpressed to constantly refill their mask stand. It seemed like they were out of a lot of the "regular" face masks and had placed some hairmasks as place holders in their mask stand. My sister and I gravitated towards this particular hair mask because of the cute wing design and the "Two-Step" Process of the hair treatment and hair cap.<br />
<br />
It retails in store for: $6, but they currently don't have it stocked on their site. I've placed an alternative purchase link <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Tonymoly-Angel-Glow-Ring-5sheets/dp/B00HYRA8WW">here</a> to TonyMoly's Amazon Store. Full disclosure, this link is not a referral link.<br />

<br />
Here are the ingredients for those of you that are curious, but the instructions are pretty similar to any other hair mask or over the counter deep conditioning hair treatment. Shower, shampoo and condition, towel off and apply the essence!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhXfQKRdKXuGrJLGtoenWa3cBr9Bao_165MoZYKWwIFsmMcySnradhyphenhyphenlx4qEnSaqvCCh2N_VU_82jJmYyWW4S_hYmXNRUz1Fl2Co2qR_TA8VGaecQzF0GFjOhWBRh6S9KXbonK8Hza/s1600/IMG_3128_Fotor_Fotor_Collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhXfQKRdKXuGrJLGtoenWa3cBr9Bao_165MoZYKWwIFsmMcySnradhyphenhyphenlx4qEnSaqvCCh2N_VU_82jJmYyWW4S_hYmXNRUz1Fl2Co2qR_TA8VGaecQzF0GFjOhWBRh6S9KXbonK8Hza/s640/IMG_3128_Fotor_Fotor_Collage.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
So this is my natural hair to begin with. I have a Korean "digital perm" on the ends, but other than that my hair is pretty much un-touched. I don't like to blow dry my hair and expose it to the excess heat, so I let it air dry every night. That being said, my hair is still a little crispy on the ends and could use some loving.<br />
<br />
So I popped into the shower! After towel drying and taking all the excess water out of my hair, I ripped open the first little pouch on the tip of the "Angel Wing."<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The essence was a thick cream and it didn't have too strong a smell. It just smelled "clean" and the consistency reminded me of Macadamia Professional brand hair masks. The amount in the pack was <i>just </i>enough to cover my hair, but I did put more on the ends and focused less on my scalp area.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
As I was applying the cream to my hair, I noticed that it had little yellow micro-beads of essence further embedded in the cream. As I applied them to my hair, they melted right away. You don't have to worry about putting the cream on and leaving the beads and their nourishing essence un-popped in your hair.<br />

I was actually a little disappointed when it came to "Step 2." My sister and I purchased this pack because we thought we would get "double" the amount of hair essence with the essence pouch and an essence soaked "hair mask." When I opened the main body of the angel wing, I pulled out a dry, thin, and flaccid looking shower cap with no essence to be seen.<br />

I can understand the benefit of covering up your hair to lock in all that moisture, but this "Angel Glow Ring Hair Mask" was slightly more expensive than the other essence soaked hair mask and I felt a little bit let down. I do have a lot of hair, but it wasn't difficult to fit it all into this shower cap. </div>

After you shove all your hair into your shower cap, the instructions say to massage your head for an undisclosed amount of time.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGH5OCSyOj1WYekfgWzuSVJ_0yxseOVFQG9D3qtAWapvm6JMgS1DKfWTdJIQKshTStbrbWNhiUjAZztOz6Gi0JxB7-mnoYmiFTyr7zUAL2CkQyt8GxgRjll3SPBbB-zZMt_a7wHCls/s1600/IMG_2973_Fotor.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGH5OCSyOj1WYekfgWzuSVJ_0yxseOVFQG9D3qtAWapvm6JMgS1DKfWTdJIQKshTStbrbWNhiUjAZztOz6Gi0JxB7-mnoYmiFTyr7zUAL2CkQyt8GxgRjll3SPBbB-zZMt_a7wHCls/s640/IMG_2973_Fotor.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Having no patience and being a little lazy, I massaged my hair enough to make sure that the product was being evenly distributed, but I essentially let it sit for the 20 minutes after that. During the waiting period I noticed that my hands, which I hadn't rinsed off from Step 1, were burning uncontrollably. There was a stinging sensation all along my palms and fingers and that didn't go away even when I washed my hands with soap and water. Obviously the sensation faded by the end of the 20 minutes, but it made me wonder what was going on in my hair and on my hands.<br />
<br />

<br />
After the twenty minutes, I popped back into the shower and rinsed the treatment out. Here's how my hair looks post treatment and rinse.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I let my hair air dry overnight and I slept on it, so we'll time warp to this after photo. Yes, I did wear essentially the same outfit two days in a row, but I did change the top!<br />
<br />
The overall results were tangible. I felt a difference in my hair, it was definitely smoother, softer and shinier. When I asked the boyfriend if he noticed anything different, he said that my hair was shinier. So the "Angel Glow Ring Hair Mask" definitely stands up to its name in that respect.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV5ORNe1B-r-yTrkCo_TO72XZFP2UWhBgh1POGotZjxEd7zyxPvBbXoSYI7QBd9tsduwRXlBFPOE2WT-PPChPvdO8WGGrgyQCsYDuZVxwBc3Oofpy1fOaSdK-5SpMLlD_QIn2pOfPt/s1600/FinalBack.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV5ORNe1B-r-yTrkCo_TO72XZFP2UWhBgh1POGotZjxEd7zyxPvBbXoSYI7QBd9tsduwRXlBFPOE2WT-PPChPvdO8WGGrgyQCsYDuZVxwBc3Oofpy1fOaSdK-5SpMLlD_QIn2pOfPt/s640/FinalBack.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
My permed curls did fall out a little bit, but I think that's because my hair got a little softer and wasn't able to hold the curl as well.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSE5ccjmw1Q4V6-zg1gplHnJhyphenhyphenY1RDhDvEOMtgSM3MJO8E_5JwyBPu05AGs3vS-Mek6OkIQa92A25S628HBpjwPIXrEoRLM6nE-cC3VcBpu-kVrEl7mQvbL-DL34zVDF4BIuV-dmEo/s1600/Final3comparison.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSE5ccjmw1Q4V6-zg1gplHnJhyphenhyphenY1RDhDvEOMtgSM3MJO8E_5JwyBPu05AGs3vS-Mek6OkIQa92A25S628HBpjwPIXrEoRLM6nE-cC3VcBpu-kVrEl7mQvbL-DL34zVDF4BIuV-dmEo/s640/Final3comparison.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Two days later, my hair still feels softer, but it has lost some of that shine. My curls have bounced back, but I wouldn't say this made a life changing difference to my hair. I think I'd purchase it again for fun, but I wouldn't put this product into my normal routine of hair care. Next time, I'll try to blow dry and see if my curls hold up better.<br />
<br />
Overall, I'm neutral about this product, but I can see myself buying it again. And I can also see myself washing my hands off immediately after applying "Step 1."<br />
<br />
I hope this helps!<br />

Oh hey there! This is the other skirt that I purchased from the &Other Stories summer sale. If you missed the other things I bought from them, you can check out my previous posts. With this skirt I really fell in love with the pleating and the length. Not all midi skirts are old lady. I think the mint tones and the fabric give an ethereal feel to this look. </div>

<br />
I was feeling a little iffy about posting this review because I didn't take as many before and after pictures as I should have. However, I still think my experience with the mask is relevant and I hope it will help anyone thinking about purchasing this mask.</div>
<br />
<b>TLDR: I enjoyed the new hydro-gel mask experience, but it didn't "stick" to my skin at all. I found myself having to readjust the mask every couple of minutes while standing. Eventually the continual readjustment became too tedious, so I gave up and lay down to wait out the 30 minutes. My skin had a slight reaction to this mask; I was having a hormonal cystic acne breakout already, but the morning after my skin texture was much rougher and mottled with small milia and white heads across my forehead and chin. </b><br />
<br />
Before we get into what I think, I transcribed the little summary that Tony Moly provided on the back of the mask for you to read here:<br />
<br />
"Contains astonishing filtered liquid of snail mucin that is a source of boosting vitality. Fully replenishes skin with its ample moisture to solidify skin's hydration barrier. In addition, a plant extract called Ceramium kondol protects the exasperated skin against the external damage by supply the necessary nutrition to skin. This unique mask helps to brighten and moisturize skin with its hydrating gel formula."<br />
<br />
Also, unfortunately, this is the best "before" picture I have for this mask.<br />

As I mentioned previously in my <a href="http://fafofi.blogspot.com/2015/08/tony-moly-ny-flagship-haul.html">Tony Moly Haul post</a>, this mask retails for $9.00. I was told it was more expensive because of the higher percentage of snail essence and the fact that it was a hydro-gel mask.<br />

This is my first experience with both a snail essence product and a hydro-gel mask. I was super excited about trying both! I've heard that snail essence works wonders for active acne, fading acne scars, and general anti-aging concerns, while hyrdo-gel masks are far superior to their cotton predecessors in getting the skin to soak up their nutrients. Hydro-gel also supposedly forms to your face better, allowing more skin-to-mask contact, which is generally what you want when wearing a sheet mask.<br />

So first off, the general experience isn't too different from using a regular sheet mask. You crack it open, pull out the mask and spread it on your face.<br />

The Tony Moly Snail Essence Hyro-Gel Mask comes in three parts. There is a clear film that the mask rests on, an opaque film that helps with the application and the mask itself.<br />

<br />
The major differences between this mask and a traditional sheet mask are that 1.) it comes in two separate pieces and 2.) it has a two-part application. <br />

I tried to stick to the instructions as much as possible, but the mask itself was so slimy (I'm sure due both to the snail slime and to it being made of hydrogel) it slid right off the opaque application layer. <br />
<br />

<br />
I eventually slid the mask back onto it's application layer and applied the top half to my face. As you'll see in a moment, I should've taken a photo before applying the mask. At the time time I was undergoing a pretty severe hormonal breakout on my cheeks. I wanted to see how the mask would help that.<br />

<br />
Please excuse the horrible look! You can see on my left cheek, I had a combination of cystic pimples that were in various stages of maturity. Some had already come to a head and popped and others were just lingering under the surface of my skin.<br />

I applied the bottom half and looked a little bit like Jason. I also heard that Hydro-gel masks were supposed to "stick to your face" a bit better. I personally found this to be untrue. I'm not sure if it's just the gel with Tony Moly's products, but I found myself constantly having to readjust both halves of the mask because they were slipping off my face. Eventually, I just gave up and lay down and let gravity do the work for me.<br />
<br />
There was no additional "sensation" to the mask, I didn't feel any tingling or burning. I just felt the cold hydro-gel resting on my face.<br />

The instructions suggest you should wear this mask for 20-30 minutes, but my sister and I wanted to get the full effects of the mask so we waited the full thirty. Unlike traditional cotton sheet masks, I felt like the gel, even after a whole thirty minutes, had just been freshly applied. I could have probably waited longer, but I didn't want to overdo it.<br />
<br />
After we peeled the masks off, we noticed our skin was more hydrated and plump, but I think that's almost negligible. When you use a sheet mask your face is getting soaked in essence for 30 straight minutes...I would hope there'd be a slight buildup of moisture! My angry red marks had faded a little, but I think that was because the mask was cool and soothed my inflamed skin. Other than that we didn't really notice much of a difference. My sister and I then applied both of our night creams and headed off to bed.<br />
<br />
The next morning my sister and I both noticed we had broken out a little. My cystic acne very much stayed the same, but I did notice I had smaller almost milia-like bumps along my forehead, cheeks and chin. My sister, who has much less reactive skin than I, also had some milia and whiteheads appear on her forehead.<br />

Unfortunately, this is also the only after picture I have. Much like the before picture, you can't really see the texture of our skin, but we had an in-depth conversation about our breakouts after trying on the Snail Hydro-Gel Mask.<br />
<br />
Given the way my skin reacted to the mask, I'm not sure I would purchase it or try it again. However, this doesn't mean that snail essence products or hydro-gel masks are completely off the table for me. I think I would be open to trying a different one in the future.<br />

I think in the late summer, all I want to do is flounce about and relax while looking put together. This is the wrap skirt that I recently hauled from &Other Stories and I've been living in it. I think it's flirty, girly, and easy to match.<br />

<b>TLDR: I would highly recommend this product to anyone that wants a medium to full coverage, easy to apply, high SPF foundation. My only qualm is that it does get a little too "dewy" for individuals with oily skin. If you're on the oilier side like myself, remember to bring your blotting papers or powder to touch up! It can get really, really greasy. </b><br />
<br />
Even though I've been posting off and on for five years, I've been a pretty consistent fan of Laneige throughout my blogging journey. I was pretty disappointed when they revamped their pore care line and after I moved back to Vancouver/Seattle it became increasingly hard to find Laneige. My usual go-to strategy was actually to smuggle an insane amount of vials and boxes of Laneige in my suitcase after visiting Taiwan. I distinctly remember one time being pulled aside by the Canadian border agent, them x-raying my suitcase and demanding to know what all the bottles in my suitcase were. I just cried and they let me go.<br />

So what exactly is a cushion compact?<br />

<br />
It's a sponge housed in a sturdy plastic container that has been soaked in BB or CC cream. Iope, a child of the enormous <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amorepacific_Corporation">Amore Pacific cosmetics corporation</a>, was the first brand to release a cushion compact. Amore Pacific did an insane amount of research on what sponges to use to house the product. The sponge in the container makes sure that the components of the BB cream don't separate, allowing for even and consistent application each time. The powder puff applicator that comes with the compact is also different from any powder puff you've seen before. It's dense, thin, and has a unique texture that doesn't absorb too much product. Supposedly, the sponge is also anti-microbial!<br />

I've been dying to try out a cushion compact, mainly because of my obsession with the Korean beauty phenom <a href="https://instagram.com/ponysmakeup/">Pony</a>, but I wasn't willing to shell out $60 on the Amore Pacific CC compact. The price point of the Laneige BB Cushion is much more palatable at $34.<br />

I was super pleased when I opened the box and saw that the compact came with an extra refill. I'm pretty lazy about sunscreen so the 50++ already built into the the BB Cream makes me feel <i>slightly</i> more secure that I'm not letting the sun blast UV damage all over my face.<br />

<br />
The compact is hefty and well made. There's two levels to the compact, an upper level to house the sponge applicator and a lower level that houses the BB Cream soaked cushion. The divider that separates the two actually seals the lower chamber so that the BB cushion doesn't dry out.<br />

<br />
You can also see that Laneige seals the cushion with a sticker to prevent any premature drying of the product.<br />

Right now "cushion compacts" are huge in Korea and and almost all Korean Brands, including innisfree, Tony Moly, 3 Concept Eyes, etude house, etc., have their own versions of the cushion compact for sale with different finishes! Only Amore Pacific, Laneige, and Lancome offer easily accessible cushion compacts in the states. However, you can also buy Korean branded cushion compacts from independent sellers on Amazon, eBay, and G-Market.<br />

So this is me right out of bed. Pretty messy and as you can see I'm having a little breakout focused mainly on my cheeks. Having watched Pony's videos, I knew that any Cushion Compact can be layered to achieve the coverage you want. Obviously this also depends on the formula of the BB Cream, but I'm rather happy with the medium to full coverage of Laneige's compact.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I did one layer of the BB Cream on my chin and forehead and I did around three passes on each cheek. It left me with a slightly dewy look, which looks quite nice on camera! However, since my face is a small OPEC nation the "dewy" look can quickly evolve into full on grease-face. To combat this, I dusted a light layer of my finishing powder over the BB Cream to set my makeup and take the dewiness away.<br />

Even though this is a pretty horrible photo of me, you can see that the BB Cream held up well.The one thing I probably could've done was touch up with some blotting papers or some powder foundation. After a while, the BB Cream does get pretty greasy. </div>

My only other qualm with the BB Cream is hygiene. The sponge applicator and cushion compact seem like germ farms to me, but they do advertise the sponges as being antibacterial. Nonetheless, I still like to wash my makeup applicators at least once a week and I tried to wash the sponge applicator that came with the compact. It was a bit tough to wash and I felt like there was a lot of product buildup held within the sponge. Also post-wash my once pristine sponge looked like this: </div>

I swear I'm not being sponsored by Club Monaco, but as any current or former retail associate knows, once you work at a store your wardrobe is going to be 60% from that store. Honestly, now as just a customer of Club they're still one of my favorite stores. Even though I can't reasonably afford any of their items anymore.<br />

The top I'm wearing is actually "two layers," the lace layer on the surface and a silk layer underneath. I like wearing the top both untucked and the bottom layer tucked in, but I prefer show-casing the outer silk layer in this outfit. I like how the white lace contrasts with the military green silk joggers. </div>

I'd been "good" in terms of purchasing frivolous cosmetic things and by good I mean straight up not buying them. I promised myself I'd be "good" for the rest of the year. However, when I visit my sister, sometimes it's the perfect storm of laughter, enthusiasm, and craziness to get me swiping my credit card. This time our target was the Tony Moly flagship store that recently opened in NY.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXe_PjyQb8uEIi3qcrWZ0LPiK7__XH1TTT5ToDjMFX-bA9QbWfN-1zGLlKvWmhBUXv__Ryj8DJ4kidoVw7GK-Uu34I-NrqMZ9KINq-ts_tl3nVt94YZGnk5qUfySX6OmdaIdcSwnPl/s1600/tonymoly.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="222" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXe_PjyQb8uEIi3qcrWZ0LPiK7__XH1TTT5ToDjMFX-bA9QbWfN-1zGLlKvWmhBUXv__Ryj8DJ4kidoVw7GK-Uu34I-NrqMZ9KINq-ts_tl3nVt94YZGnk5qUfySX6OmdaIdcSwnPl/s640/tonymoly.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<br />
My sister and I have fallen completely in love with Asian Beauty products, from "My Beauty Diary" facemasks to Majolica-Majorca blushes to Etude House Liptints. In the past couple of years Korean Cosmetics and Skincare have truly taken center stage with their packaging, efficacy, and quality. I originally wanted to purchase some Korean skincare from Sephora but my sister suggested heading directly to the source: the Tony Moly flagship store in K-town.<br />
<br />
Well, I went a little crazy at Tony Moly and I just wanted to share that craziness with you. I'll also review these products individually as the weeks pass, so keep your eyes peeled! I've included non-referral purchase links underneath each product photo. The US Tony Moly site doesn't have a complete roster of all their products yet, so I've included retailers like Amazon, Ulta and anyone who offers the exact product I purchased. Please buy at your discretion!<br />
<br />
The prices I've listed below are what they cost in the store.<br />
<br />
Anyway....<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think everyone's initial reaction when they hear "snail gel" is to cringe. Snail gel in beauty products is a tough sell. However, scientists recently have discovered that Snail Gel has incredible benefits for the skin. It's incredible at diminishing fine lines and wrinkles and has benefits for acne, acne scarring, hyper-pigmentation and dryness. Less cringe worthy, right? My sister and I decided to try out the snail essence mask in it's "hydrogel" form. </div>

<br />
Tony Moly had so many different and adorable masks it was hard not to go crazy and get them all. Their packaging is so ON POINT. I'm so easily mind-melded by the packaging, I'm shocked I didn't walk out with the whole store. However, this particular box caught my eye. It was so plain in comparison to the rest of the store and very to the point.<br />
<br />
5 Clinical Grade Masks for use 5 days in a row to improve your skin. Easy! I grabbed it and stuck it in my bag. Imagine my surprise when I got to the cashier and it rung up as the most expensive thing in my entire haul.<br />
<br />
<b>This 5. Day Project Mask set retails for $54 dollars</b>.<br />

My sister and I are always on a quest to get fabulous hair. Tony Moly had a cute assortment of hairmasks, but my sister and I were most impressed by this one. Not only becaue of the cute angel wing design, but also because it had an extra sachet of hair essence to slather on your hair in addition to an essence soaked "shower cap."<br />

I bought these because they were so dang cute. LOOK AT THEM. Little hydrogel masks that you stick on your laugh lines. I love beauty items with a self reflective sense of humor. They were also the only product that the boyfriend was interested in! So obviously I purchased one for him as well. I think when we try these out we're going to be taking lots and lots of selfies.<br />

I purchased these for the same reason I purchased the "Mr. Smile" lip patch: they're so dang cute! I also am a Jenn Im acolyte and she <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNEpghxv8b0">reviewed this lip mask</a> in one of her videos so I too had to give them a try! My lips have been extremely dry lately and this seems like a good thing to do when I'm not feeling in the mood for slapping on a whole face mask.<br />

As with the two little hydrogel masks above, I couldn't resist this "little red riding hood" themed mask. I have extreme red cheek problems due to acne, acne scarring, and general irritation. I know this mask won't cure everything, but I'm looking forward to the refreshing effects of the essence infused hydrogel.<br />

<br />
I actually purchased this by accident...I thought this was the<a href="http://tonymolyus.com/egg-pore-blackhead-steam-balm.html"> black head treatment</a>, but it was not. I'm not sure about this one, but you can never go wrong with a kaolin clay mask! Especially if you have acne prone skin like I do.<br />
<br />
The service in the store was...definitely below par. They were quite busy, but there were just some things that rubbed me a little bit the wrong way. One of them was that the cashier actually charged me for this mask twice...it retails for $17.00 so charging me twice....wasn't cool.<br />

If there's one statement on my blog that I've said over and over again it's that my ultimate cosmetic weakness is for lip products. I'm just in love with them and Korean Lip products just consistently knock my expectations out of the park. I'm excited to try all of these and I'll be giving each type of lip product a thorough review.<br />

<br />
With all the money I spent they also gave me two freebies: their makeup remover wipes and a full size of their Floria Whitening Emulsion.<br />
<br />
That's the whole haul! I hope the splurge didn't shock you too much. Honestly I was shocked at my own cosmetic gluttony. I'll be eating chili for the next couple of weeks....<br />
<br />
If you're interested in Tony Moly, I've linked their website <a href="http://tonymolyus.com/">here</a>! They're also running a promotion where you'll get 5% off your purchase to celebrate the grand opening of their flagship store. So feel free to splurge online! So long as the promotion is running, purchasing products online right now is cheaper than in store.<br />

Which is I did with this slightly more preppy Marc Jacobs Collared Top. I liked the bright colors and the bold pattern printed on this blouse. The silk and short sleeves make the top bearable in the East Coast summer heat, but the top is lady-like enough to dress up or dress down. </div>

I wore nurse shoes because we were preparing to walk around NYC the whole day, but you could switch them out for a pair of sleek black pumps, throw your hair in a high bun and be good to go for a swanky evening get together with friends.<br />

Anyway, back to the nurse shoes. This is one of my favorite go to outfits a "striking top" and a tailored bottom and is final look in my "Styling Staples: the Black Skater Skirt" series. I hope you liked it! It was fun to do and show a versatile piece that I wear often in my wardrobe.<br />

In my <a href="http://www.fafofi.blogspot.com/2015/07/styling-staples-black-skater-skirt.html">previous post</a>, I showed you how I styled this black skater skirt in a "casual and chic" way, something that you can just throw on in the morning, but still look put together. However, I can totally understand if you'd want to dress it up a little more.<br />

Black is my favorite color, it goes with anything! Stark whites, jewel tones, and even...pinky pastels! I think some people feel that the strength of black can overwhelm a delicate pastel top, but I think the key is in texture and pairing the right pieces together. The fun skater cut of the skirt matches the loose cut of my blazer. Most everything that I'm wearing I already had in my closet for several seasons, but I purchased this top recently from Zara. Unfortunately, I can't find it on the website and easily link it here, but it should still be in stores as of July 29th. </div>

I'm a bit of a nun so I think the skirt is a little short to wear to work, but I'd wear this outfit in any other setting and feel perfectly comfortable. I kept the purse the same and the accessories minimal. To keep the color tones in the same family, I paired the outfit with a sleek patent leather heel. </div>

The "not-so-basic" basic. I think it's a generally well-known rule that everyone needs to have a "little black dress" in their closet arsenal. One that can be dressed up, down, and sideways. Why not a black skirt as well?<br />
<br />

Since I've been a little behind on the blog posts lately, I've styled this little black skater skirt in three different ways that I'll release over the next few days. The first look I want to show you is the most casual.<br />
<br />

I like the the sleek look of color-blocking gray with black. It's not as jarring as a white and black contrast and gives a more casual vibe. The turtleneck had enough structure and shape for me. I didn't want to over accessorize so I kept things simple and sporty with casual sneakers and my trusty coach legacy purse. </div>

You can barely see my accessories in the photos above, but in line with the purse I've gone with a buttery leather bracelet, some gold stud earrings, and a girly druzy ring.<br />

My personal favorite item of clothing is a skirt. You'll see me wearing dresses and skirts more often than shorts and pants. I think they're girly and sweet. By cutting your little black dress in half, you have increased options for picking your outfits!<br />
