Too Cool for School - Egg Cream Mask Pore Tightening

 @rita
Hello Beauties,

This week we bring you the Egg Cream Mask Pore Tightening by Too Cool for School. As you know, I have combo skin and some open pores, so I’m always looking for a good pore tightening mask!

 
This time I went to Sephora and as always, I was drawn to the Korean section. After some time reading the back packaging, I decided to buy this mask.
To tell you the truth I don’t know and never heard about this brand, but for what I saw, they have some cool stuff (no pun intended)!
According to the Sephora’s website this brand is ‘’Dedicated to quality and creativity, the Korean brand brings together the latest skin care and makeup trends with a diverse community of experimental artists. The result? Innovative products, playful packaging, and a unique beauty experience’’.

According to the necessities, they have an Egg Cream Mask Firming (salmon), Pore Tightening (blue) and Hydration (yellow).
They also have an Egg Mousse Soap facial cleanser (that I really wanted to try) but in my country, it’s unavailable.
But for now, let’s look at what they say about the mask that I bought.




Which skin type is it good for?

✔ Oily
✔ Combination

(Great, I have a little bit of both)
 

It’s basically a pore diminishing and tightening microfiber sheet mask with egg (that is known for his properties in diminishing the look of pores) and vinegar extracts (that clarifies), excellent for oiliness, enlarged pores and blemishes.


What it is formulated WITHOUT:

- Parabens
- Sulfates
- Phthalates

What else you need to know:

All Too Cool for School products are not tested on animals and are hypoallergenic. Microfiber sheet has high moisture retention rate and helps with the delivery of active ingredients and hydration. Delicate ultra-fine microfiber is 100 times thinner than a strand of hair to conform precisely to skin and maximize absorption of the active ingredients.

I tried it and what I liked was the fact that the mask adheres comfortable in the face (this is always a problem for me in a sheet mask). I was a little apprehensive because it has vinegar, but don’t worry, the smell isn’t strong. On the contrary, it’s pleasant.
When you take it off the package, it’s easy to unfold and it’s saturated in a ton of product.

I followed the directions and first it was required to freshen the skin with a toner after washing the face. Then open the pouch and separate the mask sheet from the support and place it on the face. Done!

According to the directions, the mask should be on face for 10-20 minutes and then remove the sheet. I left it on the face for 30 minutes (Netflix distracted me, what can I say?).

And finally, I gently tapped my face to let the remaining contents to be absorbed into the skin. I noticed that the mask was not dry. On the contrary, I think that if I let it on my face for more 10 minutes it probably would come off still damp. This is good!

In the first hours, the skin was so fresh! I tried on a hot day and when I took it off I noticed how cold my skin was.

Are my pores more tightening? I don’t really know. But I see my skin more uniform, firming, soft and hydrated. I really see a big difference!

But let’s talk about the cons. The stickiness after a while. I felt my skin so oily! At night, I needed to wash it off but even then, I felt oil in my skin. I don’t know if this happens because I left more time that they recommend or if it’s my skin reaction to this mask.


VERDICT: Am I going to buy another one? I think I will, but this time I will follow the 10-20 minutes rule. Despite the oiliness, I felt a good difference in the appearance of my skin. Until today I had never seen my skin so beautiful.

It’s available at Sephora’s and costs $6.

Sunday #7 - It's new and we want to try it...

Hello beauties, Today is the day! It’s Sunday! It’s the day for our ‘It’s new and we want to try it’. But before we start, tell us how was your week? Mine was long (I feel like I’m living in Rihanna’s song …work, work, work) but the good news is that the weather in Portugal was phenomenal (hot days, cold nights…just how I like it). This warm weather made me want to use bright colors and I discovered a beautiful pink lipstick by H&M, perfect for my mood. Did you find something worth it, this week? Maybe a good eye pencil, a perfect hydrating cream? I feel like every week I find something that I love. On a side note, I just finished my second book from Deborah Harkness trilogy. I’m so excited to know that they´re filming the series (perfect cast, let me tell you). And you? What are you reading? (Two weeks and I probably will be in an anonymous non-book reunion. I don’t have any plans for my next book. (I'm accepting suggestions) Here I am rambling, I feel I’m always doing thi

Monday mask #8 - L’Oréal Paris Mask Detox effect

Image
byARita Hello beauties, Did you see our ‘It’s new and we want to try it…” from yesterday? Take a look clicking here . If you remember, two weeks ago Joana talked about the Glamglow SuperMud Clearing Treatment and last week she talked about the Vicky that she tried and truly liked. This week we are going to continue our search for Glamglow’s dupe. After some research on google, I think I found one that is not exactly the same but for what I could see it’s almost. L’Oréal it’s a well-known brand (their Balmain lipsticks are still giving me dreams) and they have a lot of products. Their hair products are always in my bathroom as their makeup products. The skincare part, I have to be honest, I don’t use so much. Let’s be clear, I don’t have nothing against them, I just don’t have more because I don’t know them. Here in Portugal, the supermarkets have just one shelf with a lot of creams, but for what I could see, almost all are for mature skins (and I’m still 27 years old). If you know

Yves Rocher - Makeup Remover Glove

Image
Hello beauties, If you are a beautyworkers follower you know all about my makeup remover routine. I wash every day my face with a good cleanser, an eye makeup remover and in the end, I like to use a micellar water. Sometimes I’m lazy and I love a good makeup remover that doesn't need water! I like my routine, I think in the end my skin is not 100% clean but I like to think that it’s at least 90-95%. But I know that this is impossible, so I’m always changing cleansers. I already found one that I like but this routine has a big bad con: environment! Normally (I’m not proud of this), I use 4-5 cotton pads. Can you imagine how many we spend for month? It’s absurd. I never stopped and thought about that. Add the packages of the makeup cleanser and in the end of the year tell me how much you spend in money and in materials that are bad for our ecology and nature. I know that I´m not the most ecological person on earth, I have my cotta of non-ecology situations but when I can, I like to t
