Blog Awards: When It Rains, It Pours!

   Hello sweets! Look what I got from the kind and lovely miss k. you! 3 blogger awards! 

Thank you k, for appreciating coffretgorge and taking the time to tag me in your post. I'll remember you forever for being the first one to acknowledge my blogging efforts by giving me 3 awards. *happy tears* hahaha! ^.^

 

              

I would like to accept these awards by being diligent and following the rules, instructions are to share another 5 things about me. So if you're not sick of me yet, please read on! :)

1. Honestly, I did not think that blogging would be this fun and fulfilling! I have made a lot of cool blogger buddies considering that coffretgorge is just half a year old. Yes, that's you! ^_~

2. I know you know I love Bowie, an applehead chihuahua I share with Lurvey, but you might not know that I am addicted to shopping for Bowie's clothes and accessories now! Rakuten has become a favorite because thats the only place I know where I can get super kawaii stuff for the pets.

3. I think I need to go have my eyes checked. Seriously, I feel my eyes are so tired everyday trying to read all of the blogs I follow! But I'm not complaining, I'm just saying! ;) I've been having random migraines too, plus I think I would like to rock a pair of specs for that grandma/geek chic look. LOL :P

4. I can easily forgive and forget most of the time, but there are some random things (not necessarily bigger or more hurtful) which stick to my memory and when it happens, I find myself having a hard time getting over it.

5. I love being around babies and kids! I find them so adorable and I like taking care of them. I love taking my 3 year old niece and kid cousin out to go swimming or wander around the mall, parks or just play inside the house. Usually I like to tickle them 'til they scream for mercy (muahahaha), hearing them laugh makes me so happy. :)

There you go, more random facts about moi! I would like to pass these awards to:

The Junkisei Prime Mask + Thank you's

Holy Moly! I've reached 100+ readers/followers this month! Thank you everyone for making my Blogger life so fun and worthwhile! I appreciate all the lovely people who take time to read my silly posts, random thoughts and letting me know what they think by commenting. Seriously, you all make me so happy. You guys are precious! :)

Moving on to the product review, I'm going to share some thoughts on the Kose Junkisei Prime Mask which I bought weeks ago as a part of a haul. A box contains 4 pieces of individually packed masks. It cost Php950 (approx. USD20) if I remember correctly, quite expensive for sheet masks in my opinion.

here's the box:

isn't it pretty? i love the color, i must admit that it was the packaging which lured me into buying this. I've never tried Kose skin care before trying this mask and I had NO IDEA what it does for the face. Yes, I'm THAT kind of packaging junkie. hahaha!

here's the individually packed mask:

this is the last piece, I used up the other ones already. Forgot to take a group pic. (bad blogger!) heehee.

here's what you get inside:

the consistency of the product is serum like, the smell is very light, which is pleasant for me.

are you ready for some scary photos? 

don't tell me I didn't warn you! ;)

here I am with the Junkisei Prime Mask on:

Believe me, I have a purpose for posting my horrifying face here.

and here it is! It's my first time encountering a sheet mask which has flaps for the eyes should you choose to relax and close your eyes for some beauty rest. Clever right? I think the eyelids need intensive hydration too! :)

I left it on for 15 minutes. It gave me moderate hydration, soft and supple skin. It didn't break me out either so that's a plus. But overall, the Junkisei Prime Mask is just OK for me. I find The Face Shop's and Etude House's Moistfull sheet masks better than this.  

I give it 3 stars= 3 for the moisturizing properties, PLUS 1 for the clever eye flaps, MINUS 1 for being expensive. I expected something great but it didn't justify the price for me. I don't think I'll be repurchasing.

*cue psycho music*

I hope I don't give you nightmares! Good night and sweet dreams! muahahaha!

G

Update: Ocean Adventure Getaway

I know, I've been away for a full week and I missed Blogger so much! I have loads to tell you about, hauls, reviews and other random stuff that's been keeping me busy the past week. Well, for starters, I'd like to share an awesome experience I got to do yesterday. My parents, a kid cousin, Lurvey and I went up north to Ocean Adventure, Subic and I got to touch a real, live dolphin for the very first time! I don't know if I already shared my love for these marine mammals here in my blog, but now you know! ;) I LOOOVE them! I find dolphins so beautiful and kind and intelligent and charming... the list goes on. They are big stress busters, something about them just calms my thoughts. :)

Personal cameras weren't allowed in the dock area but my Dad managed to snap some photos from afar...

ohwee! I got to touch the tongue! it was so soft and smooth!

Happy! ^_^

can you spot me in this photo? hahaha ;)

how about in this one? now it's Lurvey's turn to touch the dolphin.

It was so much fun! I'm definitely going back for another encounter with the dolphins, I want to swim with them next time. :)

Back to beauty blogging on the next post!
