Let me tell you…Guiying Decolletage Treatment changed my ways! It has this magical silky-smooth texture which quickly turns into buttery balm upon contact with skin. This treatment balm is perfect for nourishing the delicate breasts, chest and neck area. It is formulated with potent medicinal plants that promote lympatic circulation in your body.  Daily use of this balm infused with botanical oils promotes skin elasticity, protects skin from free radical damage, and smoothes appearance of stretch marks. My favorite part is that this treatment was created around the idea of encouraging women to do self breast exams in efforts to fight breast cancer. I have incorporated this treatment into my daily self-care ritual, and I look forward to a gentle decolletage massage every night before going to sleep. The balm leaves my skin soft and smooth, and my breasts firm, perky and radiant, while its intoxicating botanical scent helps me to relax and wind down at the end of the day.

I liked this balm so much that I hurried to order another jar to have as a backup once the first one runs out. Luckily, a little goes a long way, so you don’t need much of the product each time. If you want to splurge a little on yourself, or to give a special woman in your life a meaningful gift, this is it!

Guiying Decolletage Treatment 

While at it, I decided to also try the All Seasons Beauty Balm, which is a multi-tasking balm for just about anything on your body. I personally like to use it on dry patches of skin, lips, bumps and irritations, under eyes at night, but it can also be used as cuticle and hair treatment. I have noticed how quickly skin heals after applying this balm. Most of my blemishes or dry patches are gone after two nights of applying this balm, while under eye skin seems brighter and more even-toned. The slight rose scent is divine and calming. And I certainly love the compact size of this balm, which makes it my go-to product to bring with me while traveling. You’ve got yourself a night face balm, eye treatment, cuticle oil, lip balm, and more — all in this little jar!

Cheers to that!

“Down with the thickness” booty mask

Probably the most intriguing of the products. A mask for your booty?! Yes!

This pink mask has a creamy texture going on, then quickly dries up into a clay-like residue. You can play around with the amount you need, but a little goes a long way. Best when applied after a nice scrub and cleansed skin. Let it dry while staying busy with something else, then rinse in 15-20 mins (I prefer a warm wet cloth to clean it off). Skin feels plumper and smoother after the mask. You won’t see a drastic difference just from a few uses, but with continuous use, I do notice improvement in booty skin elasticity and smoothness.

“Those boobies tho” boobie scrub

A gentle yet effective scrub to battle hormonal skin on your chest area. This scrub is creamy and delicate, yet does a good job at clearing the blockages of sensitive decollete skin. Great as both treatment and as a preventative care.

“Calm your tits” boobie mask

This boobies mask works great in combination with the scrub. It has a creamy texture when applied, then quickly dries off into a cooling, tightening paste. It does a great job at calming inflamed/irritated skin, as well as perking up those lady lumps. I gently clean the mask after 15-20 minutes with a wet cloth.

The Lock-It foundation I got is in Light 45 shade (light beige with warm undertone). Not a perfect match for me, a bit too yellow and a tad too light for my current skin tone. But damn is this foundation highly pigmented! You really just need very little product for a full coverage. I am not used to such heavy coverage, so I naturally wanted to wash my face off right away after applying the foundation on my face. I can see how some would love it though, if you’re into full coverage that is. I may have to play around with a smaller amount of product to see if I can get a sheer coverage instead. The matte effect is my favorite part about this product. It lasts through the day, eliminating shine in unwanted areas.

The Lock-It Concealer in Light 7 (Light with warm undertone) is a better fit for my skin. It is best applied with your fingers, as the product seems to stay in place when using a sponge. I like how this concealer is brightening without being over the top. It blended into my skin very well, all while keeping that matte effect. I must admit that I will incorporate this concealer into my green beauty routine. I am so glad that more cosmetic brands are becoming cruelty and toxin -free, keeping harmful ingredients away from our skin and harm away from defenseless animals. Keep it up, Kat Von D!

The London Mask by Twelve Beauty

Obsessed! Hands down, my favorite mask of all times. I don’t know what is about this mask that just delivers to all my skincare needs. Moisturizing just enough. Softening. Calming. Perfect for sensitive, easily irritable skin. A holy grail of masks!

I first got to try this mask through Boxwalla beauty box subscription. Normally, I would not consider buying a $92 mask, so it was a great opportunity to try this new luxury skincare brand. After using the mask 1-2 times, I rushed to place another order to keep this mask stocked for later. Needless to say, I decided to try other products by Twelve Beauty, and they did not disappoint.

Violet-C Radiance Mask by Tatcha

Tatcha is one of my favorite green beauty brands, their products just never disappoint. Always made with potent quality ingredients and formulated with results in mind. This purple (who doesn’t love purple!) Violet-C Radiance Mask is no exception!

This creamy texture delivers softening and glowing effects, brightening and protecting your skin from UV damage. The two different types of vitamin C in this mask (water-soluble  & oil-soluble) keep antioxidants protection around longer,  gradually improving skin tone, making it brighter and more even-toned. The mask doesn’t dry out on your face if you leave it for a long time, and is easy to rinse off.

Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask

I won’t lie, this mask was an impulse buy. Who can say “no” to this pink watermelony goodness?! It smells as good as it sounds. Fresh, sweet watermelon without the associated with it stickiness. This mask is perfect for warm summer weather. You can store it in the fridge for that extra cooling effect. This mask has a gel-like texture, a little hard to scoop with a tiny spatula-spoon in comes with, but it’s manageable. You must make sure you mix it well prior to application, as the oil in the mask separates and ends up on top.

What I like about this mask is that it dries up very quickly, but without that drying effect, and you can actually go to sleep with it on, rinsing it off in the morning. It does peel off a bit with a thin film, so you’re likely to have some particles on your pillow and in your hair the next morning, but no big deal. I often forget that I went to sleep with this mask on, and get surprised how radiant and well-rested I look when I glance at myself in the mirror in the morning. Realizing a minute later that I have a mask on that needs to be rinsed off. The glowing, radiant effect doesn’t go away after rinsing, and my skin always feels softer and smoother afterwards.

Farmacy Honey Potion Mask

Lastly, I wanted to include this Honey Potion Mask by Farmacy. I have mixed feelings about this brand, as I find their skincare products a bit too strong for my sensitive skin. But this mask is a keeper in my book. I wouldn’t use it every day, but it is a great addition to a spa day in the comfort of your bathroom. Honey Potion has a sticky texture at first, but warms up upon contact into a creamy paste, so your face gets quite warm, even hot after a while. Great way to open up pores for cleaning. Skin is immediately radiant as the blood gets rushed to the surface. I love to cool my face off with a cold water afterwards, which feels so good!

What are some of your favorite masks, and why? Would love to hear about your faves in the comments!

And, girl, am I glad I got it! I am not a fan of everything pumpkin, and I am not on the pumpkin-spice bandwagon, but I love how this mask smells and feels on my skin! The scent is very bright, spicy but natural. Smells legit like a pumpkin spice latte. The texture is creamy but light, with exfoliating apricot seed granules gently massaging and clearing out skin congestions. Overtime Mask is packed with vitamins A, K and C, E, as well as pumpkin, which contains natural enzymes and antioxidants, leaving skin plump, smooth and radiant.

This mask is great to transition your skin into the new season. Perfect way to mask-away summer’s skin damages from sun, polluted air, overexposure to AC, as well as sleepless nights (I’m with you here!)

CONS: I am not thrilled about the packaging of this mask. Yes, it is convenient to use, but it starts to look wrinkled-up from the moment your start squeezing the product out. I also think the price is a tad too high for the amount of product you get ($44!). Definitely is a great mask, but not sure I would re-purchase it often at this price.

Summer Fridays Overtime Mask ($44)

I always keep one roller in my freezer for that cooling, pore-tightening experience (the roller above on the left has been chilled). Perfect to cool off and close your pores on a hot day or after a nice bath.

The rollers are also great to use at a room temperature to help with serum or face oil absorption. By simply rolling over freshly cleaned face with a few drops of your favorite serum or oil, you get the blood flowing and your skin absorbs all the powerful ingredients even better. I seriously notice a huge difference of using a roller after applying my serums or oils vs regular “patting” application. Skin feels way more plump and bouncy, and facial lines smooth out.

Facial rollers are designed to aid lymphatic drainage and reduce the appearance of puffiness and wrinkles. They are a perfect way to destress and relax your facial muscles, as well as to detoxify your skin. Most rollers have two sides, one larger (for face), and one smaller roller to use on small areas like under eyes.

The rose quartz has similar skin benefits as jade. I like this mushroom shaped “roller” because it is super easy to use. It simply glides over freshly hydrated face, very smooth and de-stressing.

Perfect solution for stressed, tired and aged skin, this oil is packed with extracts of Damask Rose, African Immortelle flower, Rosehip seed oil, working their magic to rejuvenate and restore your skin. The key ingredients like Vitamin C, CoQ10 and Retinol protect your skin from free radicals and boost up collagen production, keeping skin plump and elastic.

This oil works great for both mornings and evenings. I like to rub a few drops of oil between my palms after applying my favorite rose water to tone my skin, and gently pressing the oil onto my face and neck. Waking up to a restored and even-toned skin if used at night, and serves as a nice morning pick-me-up for my skin before starting with my day. A little goes a long way, as you only need a little product each time.

The scent is so intoxicating, like sticking your face into a jar of freshest flowers essence! Definitely delivers that luxury spa feel!

Update: I’ve been using this oil for a couple weeks now, and I fall more and more in love with how it feels and the changes it makes in my skin. This oil delivers! It calms and hydrates my skin, without leaving an oily film all over my t-zone. Waking up to a well-rested face, plump and even-toned skin.

MUN Aknari Brightening Youth Serum

This serum is a perfect multitasking product because you can use it on your face, neck, and as an eye serum. Aknari Serum is oil-based and absorbs quickly. It contains prickly pear seed oil, argan oil, rose oil among other skin-loving ingredients, providing antioxidant protection and brightening tired, dull skin. This serum smells very natural and luxurious. You only need a drop or two for each use, rub the oil between your hands and pat onto your face or dab a small amount on your under eye skin. I love how soft and supple my skin feels afterwards, and how much more rested and brighter my under-eye skin looks.

This serum is great for all skin types and can be used during the day to prep your face for makeup (or to help you rock that no-makeup look!), or as a night treatment to wake up to a well rested, even-toned face.

AMLY Botanicals Silver Rich Face Mist ‘Beauty Sleep’ 

I loved ALMY Radiance Boost Face Mist that I received in one of last year’s boxes, so I was thrilled to try another mist from this line. This ‘Beauty Sleep” face mist is to be used at night, so it is a perfect addition to my night time skincare routine. This silver-rich water mist is healing and restorative, working on producing collagen and repairing skin cells while you are getting a well deserved beauty sleep.

Beauty Sleep Face Mist is full of some of my favorite skincare ingredients, such as Linden oil, Neroli and Geranium floral water, Rose Quartz, Echinacea, to name just a few. Passionflower, Valerian, and Echinacea extracts relieve tension from the day’s stress, calming your mind and soothing irritations on your skin. The deep floral scent is very calming, a perfect way to end the day!
