Sheet Masks by Skin18 | R E V I E W

Hey Everyone!
Today i'm back with other skincare review. So, lets come to the point.
Today review is all about sheet masks.
so last month skin18 has sent me 2 of their sheet masks for review purposes.

These are Foodaholic 3D sheet masks in Potato & Grain.

Foodaholic 3D potato natural essence mask

This is a sheet mask.Good for suntanned skin as it soothes and calms it.
what i love about this sheet mask is that it moisturized my skin a lot and i was able to see my skin  as fresh. The only con is that is dried very quickly. 

Foodaholic 3D grain natural essence mask
It has mung bean, rice bran and yeast extract as well as hydrolyzed collagen that make the face glow while improving the skin texture and moisture level. 


How to use
  1. Wash your face with a mild cleanser and apply toner.
  2. Then apply the sheet mask to the face and use your fingertip to adjust.
  3. Leave on for 20 – 30 minutes. Finally,  massage in gently the excess fluid.
  4. But to get the most benefit, use 1-3 times a week.
Pros
  • The Foodaholic Natural Essence Mask has a silky feeling and fits nicely on the face because of the 3D shape of the mask.
  • I love that the mask is quite thick so at least it does not rip while unfolding the mask. Soaking in rich plant essence as a result I had some left which I used on my neck and hands.
  • It feels so relaxing and soothing on the skin.

lets start review!

Primer
Okay so this is the primer from GlamGirl. lets talk about the packaging. All the products of glam girl has very sleek and simple yet pretty packaging. I really loved it.  It comes in a card box and inside it has a tube filled with the primer. 
Its a pore minimizer primer to give you oil free and smooth and silky skin and basically thats what a primer does. to minimize your pores and keep your makeup long lasting. & just look at its texture. its texture is creamy, not oily and after wearing it you can literally feel your skin super soft. and i'm really satisfied with results. it does its job. 


Pro-Matte Liquid Foundation
Its a pro-matte liquid foundation. Its box has the same packaging like primer. and foundation comes in this bottle and has a little pump on it which makes it easy that how much amount we want. 

Here's the swatch of this foundation. Its texture is creamy not too runny. it spreads amazingly on skin and its coverage is sheer to medium but can be achieved high coverage if set with setting powder. 
Its a bit dark for me, as you can see the swatch , its in shade 'ivory' but i like the coverage, its really nice! (Its available in 8 asian shades)


Magic Skin Perfecting Foundation

It comes in jar. and texture of this foundation is like tv stick. It also has a sponge with it to set. 

Its in shade 201 "Porcelain" which is the lightest one. 
Its available in 9 asian shades.

Here's the swatch of this foundation. It matches my skin perfectly. & To be honest I like it way more than that liquid foundation. Because its texture is amazing and coverage is very nice, or maybe it suits me more? :P I also use it as concealer and then set it with setting powder &&& you're good to go. 

Loose Setting Powder
Its a setting powder. It comes in sleek card box. and it contains soft cotton sponge you can bake your face with it and also set your face to control oil. its colorless HD powder. I really love it. it doesn't make my concealer crease. 

Loose Shimmer Powder/Illuminator
Its a loose shimmer powder. Its in shade 'Rose Glow' 



Here's the swatch of this shimmer powder. I really like it. its super pigmented, in swatch, its just a pinch of it and it gives a healthy pinky glow. Its one of my fav product from glam girl.

Radiance Strobe Cream
This strobe cream comes in simple purple plastic bottle. it has a black pump on it which makes it super handy to use your required amount. 


Its in shade "Gold Lite" which is perfect to give you blinding glow! be careful that you just need to press the pump just once, because only one pump is enough & tada you're good to go. 
now many people are confused about illuminator and strobe cream, like what is the difference between these two. i got many DMs regarding this, so let me tell you that you can mix this strobe cream in your liquid foundation to give you radiant healthy glow overall or you can just use it on higher parts of your face usning a flat brush, that's what strobing does. Its used to just add more glow & i love its glow way more than shimmer powder because its glow is very subtle, healthy, vibrant, fresh and can last for longer time. 
you can say its a dupe of MAC Strobe cream by #maccosmetics.


ITS MY MOST FAVORITE PRODUCT FROM GLAM GIRL. Just look at the swatch. Its super pigmented and bliding & radiant. 
& I am really grateful to Mahwish for chooisng everything correct about my skintone. all the shades are chosen by her, i just showed her a picture and she chose all the shades, like for liquid foundation, magic foundation, shimmer powder in rose glow & strobe cream in gold lite. Love you Mahwish. 

Lock It All Day Primer Mist

Its a primer mist. It comes with a card box and inside its a purple to pink probably tea pink shade liquid mist inside a plastic bottle. It has a spray pump up on it. 

Its written step 1 on it which means you can spray it on your face at initial steps to refresh your makeup. It contains organic substances like aloe vera extract and rose water etc. 
i sometimes use it as my toner after cleansing my face and work equally amazing like other toner. 

Lock It All Day Final Fix Spray
Its Lock it all day soothing final fix. It has same packaging like primer mist. 

Its skyblue in color. Its like dupe of NYC setting spray. Its the final step of makeup. when you're done with your makeup, just spray it on your face, just to keep everything in place. 
I noticed a even more healthy radiant glow after spraying it on my makeup. 


So, these are all the products sent to me by glam girl for review. All the products are tested & reviewed. 
Note: All opinions are my own & honest.
