Hi, I'm Madeline, and I have an addiction to mini beauty products.
Anything that comes in a smaller size, I need. If I like it all that much, I'll indulge in both mini and mama sizes. For a mere $8, the Laneige Good Night Kit is a great stocking/gift stuffer for all beauty enthusiasts.
Multiberry Yogurt Repairing Mask
What's in it: Sogurty™: A specialized fermented yogurt with anti-irritation benefits, Multiberry Complex (Strawberry, Blueberry, Cranberry, Wolfberry, And Raspberry Extracts), Glycerin, Shea Butter, Dimethicone (and more)What it claims: Infused with antioxidant-rich multiberry complex and anti-inflammtory Sogurty™, a specialized fermented yogurt, to protect skin and support collagen production.Use once or twice a week.
What I think: Mmmmmm strawberry Pocky Sticks! I really love the texture, smell and packaging of the Yogurt Repairing Mask. I'll paint it on my washed face with a clean foundation brush, leave for 10 minutes, and rinse off with a warm face cloth. My face is left feeling clean, and slightly more moisturized. I wish this could be left on overnight like the Sleeping Mask. The results just aren't there since the product stays on for such a short time.
Laneige Water Sleeping Mask
What's in it: Cyclopentasiloxane, glycerin, and trehalose (moisturize), betaglucan (fights inflammation), etc. - AllureWhat it claims: An overnight, revitalizing gel mask that absorbs instantly and works while you sleep to deeply hydrate stressed, parched skin.Wake up to soft, glowing, nourished skin. Use once or twice a week.
What I think: A cooling, non-greasy moisturizer which will calm redness and give your skin an extra boost of moisture. Ideal for the winter or after-sun, you will layer it on last over your anti-aging evening routine (toner, serum, moisturizer if skin is dry). The "Aromatic Sleepscent™" fragrance (orange flower, rose, and sandalwood) bothered me at first, but it has grown on me. This leave-on mask does not replace my Avène Soothing Moisture Mask, so I won't be repurchasing it.
Cruelty Free, Laneige is a Korean brand which has made its mark in the Western world. It reminds me of The Face Shop, and it is owned by beauty brand AMOREPACIFIC - which I've chatted about here and here.
Reviews are across the board for these two items, so if you're sensitive to fragrance or interested in seeing dramatic results, continue on. I also noticed that people were mentioning a "Korean version" for the Water Sleeping Mask, which is apparently much more effective. This often happens when companies offer different formulations for different markets, probably due to ingredient regulations.
Sweet dreams,
xx
