The mask is made of pure cotton and contains snail mucin that will deeply nourish and hydrate your skin + bee venom to help improve your skin tone and texture.
Upon taking the mask out of the package, I noticed that it had a light, natural fragrance but something I can’t quite describe. The mask didn’t fit the best on my face and had weird eye flaps that I ended up tucking underneath my eye to add extra hydration there. The nose cutout section is a little too big for my face and a bit of skin around my nose isn’t covered by the mask at all.
After a few minutes of wearing it, I noticed a cooling sensation that is very welcome in the warmer temperatures that we’ve been having here.
There was a bit of extra essence in the packet so I put it on both of my arms. After 20 minutes, I removed the mask. A lot of the essence had soaked into my skin so my face was moisturized after taking the sheet off but there wasn’t too much extra essence sitting on top of my skin – which is something I don’t enjoy.
The mask left my face cool, smooth and supple feeling.
Overall: I really like this mask and for the price, you can’t beat it. This mask is perfect to refresh your skin in the hot summer months and doesn’t leave your face sticky afterwards with serum. I’ll definitely be buying more.
Update: The next morning I didn’t have enough time to do my full skincare routine (because I like sleeping too much haha) so I only used my Neogen serum spray, moisturizer, eye cream and face cream underneath my BB cream but my skin glowed the whole day ❤

This is a two-step mask: the mask itself + a moisturizing cream afterwards. Usually two-step masks include an oil/essence to put on before the mask, so it was nice to have a special moisturizer to use after the mask.
This mask was part of my June 7 Lux box from Facetory but you can buy it individually for $5 USD from them. I also received this mask + the Daily Brightening mask from Daint in their Bow Box but you can also buy them as a 4 piece set (2 of each type) from Daint as well 😀
Mask key ingredients include Rosa Centifolia Flower Water that contains vitamins and antioxidants to moisturize skin, Polyphenol that is another antioxidant to help your skin retain moisture + protect it against UV rays, Xylitol (from birch sap) to help retain moisture + boost hyaluronic acid levels and glucose (from wheat) that provides rich moisture to skin.
The key ingredient in the moisturizing cream is hyaluronic acid to provide intense and lasting moisture for your skin.
It seems like a lot of moisturizing-focused ingredients but with a name like ‘Deep Moisturizing’ it really should 😛
When I opened the packaging (after tearing off the heart on the top that contains the moisturizing cream), the mask is a soft, light pink colour and there are heart-shaped cut-outs for your eyes. How cute!
The mask sheet itself is thicker in texture so it’s a bit harder to have it mould to your face while you’re masking (especially for it to stick to your chin) which I didn’t like, but it was really soft and smelled amazing – a light rose scent.
I took the mask off after 20 minutes and the put the moisturizing cream on when the essence settled into my skin. It is rich and creamy in texture and definitely very moisturizing. My skin’s moisture levels felt replenished and my skin was happy again.
Overall: I really loved this mask. The packaging is really cute and it’s great that there are two-steps. The Rose Heart Deep Moisturizing Mask really lives up to its name – there are so many amazing moisturizing ingredients included that it’s not surprising. I have another of these masks + the brightening version from Daint that I’m excited to use again and try. I really recommend these to people that have really dry skin in need of some rescuing.

Missha's Bee Pollen Renew Sheet Mask contains 43% Bee Pollen and it's great for dry or irritated skin.
The mask is made up of natural fibers that is supposed to help cool down your skin and it really does! I thought the mask might smell a little like honey or flowers but it doesn't smell like either. I can't quite pin the fragrance, but it's light and refreshing.
The serum has a slightly sticky consistency - much like snail mucin masks, so this should really help with moisturizing. Plenty of leftover serum in the packet too.
After removing the mask, my skin feels plump, moisturized and cooled down. A perfect mask for warm summer nights~!

I put the extra serum on my arms and I noticed that it just sat on the surface of my skin and was taking a looooong time to absorb. It also made my arms feel a little oily and fabric fibers were sticking to me 🤦🏻♀️
I made the mistake of putting more extra serum on my face after I took the mask off and after a while, when I would touch my face, the serum would ball up and I'd have to peel that part off. I decided to just put a thin layer of a sleeping mask on as well as my eye cream and in the morning my face and my arms were very soft and not oily feeling at all. Guess this stuff just takes a while to sink in.

Benton PHA Peeling Gel
The Benton PHA Peeling Gel came to me at the perfect time (thank you so much for choosing me to be one of your reviewers for this product!) as I’ve been struggling to figure out and fix the irritated and peeling skin around my eye since April.
This new peeling gel is a unique product, aimed at letting you successfully exfoliate your skin, even if it is very sensitive, that is made possible with its two-step peeling process:
Step One: cellulose that is naturally derived from cotton plants absorbs dead skin cells and impurities
Step Two: third-generation PHA (Lactobionic Acid) melts dead skin cells and white heads.
Unlike AHA, PHA does not cause irritations or photosensitivity.
The product claims to help your skin achieve smooth texture which minimized irritation, less dryness and tightness after exfoliating and to improve your skin tone, leaving it bright and transparent.
The first time I used Benton’s PHA Peeling Gel, I had excessive dry skin flakes around my eyes (under eye area and on my eye lids) which was also irritated - my only real skin concern at the moment. Since this peeling gel is supposed to be a much gentler product, I used it (very carefully!) around my sensitive eye area and while not all of the dead skin was removed, most of it was and my eyes were not irritated at all. After use, my skin did not feel dried out and the texture was a lot smoother.
For the past three weeks, I have been using this peeling gel twice a week and have definitely seen an improvement in my skin (I stopped using my regular exfoliating products mid-May because of my skin irritation and it was really starting to show). The sensitive area around my eyes is almost healed, with very little dry skin left.
In a way, I’m happy I had my skin irritation/flaking issue while testing out the product so I could see first hand how gentle and effective it really is. I’m able to wear makeup comfortably now and feel a lot more confident about the way my skin looks.
*This product was provided to me by Benton for my honest review.
