I don't normally do at home masks, scrubs, or exfoliations.  Right now, I've just reminded myself why.

My face hurts.

I just used MISSHA's Mango Yogurt Peel-Off Mask, and my face feels like thousands of needles are prickling my skin.  It's not a good tingle at all.  So peel-off masks are somewhat popular in Asia.  It comes out of the tube creamy, and you slather it on your skin.  It dries into a thin layer that you can literally just peel off.  It works as an exfoliator, as it helps remove old/dead skin.  According to the MISSHA website, it's suppose to make my skin flexible and elastic.

I've used it before, but never had it hurt the way it does today.  I think I slathered on too much, so the peel was extra thick, and I also left it on too long.  I got way into the Korea vs Japan baseball game that I let it dry way way long.  Otherwise I've had decent experience with it.  I feel like it helps my pimples mature even faster, and it helps reduce some blackheads from my nose.  Plus it is somewhat fun peeling off a mask off my face.  This is the only time where it actually hurts though.

It's about 1/2 hour since I took it off, and the pain has subsided.  I'm just hoping my skin doesn't flare up tonight!  I'm going to Sephora to meet Utada tomorrow and I plan on looking fab!!

On the whole, I wouldn't purchase this specific item again.  I'll stick to BHAs and AHAs for exfoliation, and play with moisturizing sheet masks when I get the itch to do an at home facial.  But it was a fun and cheap purchase.  The whole tube costs less than $5!  Get it from the MISSHA website here.

Since I transferred back to day shift, I've been *gasp* putting makeup on every morning!!  I just look much better and have more energy when I wake up in the morning, so putting on makeup feels fun rather than like a chore.  I'm letting my coworker choose my eyeshadow colors, and today she chose PINK!

I used:

Face

• Missha Primer Gel (I think it's discontinued)
• Nars Oil-Free Foundation in Santa Fe
• MAC Select Moisturecover (undereye concealer)
• Hanskin Blemish Concealer (for acne)
• Missha Powder Blush in Hot Pink (again, can't find it on their website)
• Benefit Dallas

 

Eyes:

• Majolica Majorca Majolook Eyeshadow Palette in Flower Girl (RS354)
• Stila Smudgepot in Black (applied with angle brush as close to my lash line as possible)
• Majolica Majorca Lash Gorgeous Wing in Black (since I was using MJ eyeshadows)

 

Lips:

• MAC Strawbaby from the Fafi Collection

 

Tell me what you guys think?

I think the lips were too orange, so I added some pink lip gloss on top when I got in my car.
