THOUGHTS
JUNE 24th, 2018: These were super cute and fun to wear, but was it anything amazing? No, but it did reduce the redness on my cheeks and provide the area with some hydration, although I don't know that I agree with the "offers deep hydration" phrase, but it did provide some hydration and was soothing.
If you're getting these to just use at home, then I don't think it's worth it. You could get an actual full sized sheet mask that performs better for the same price point, but these would be great for spot masking on the go. They're so much more convenient and unobtrusive compared to a full sheet mask, so these would be great to use on a plane, in the car perhaps or if you are camping or have been hiking or out and about in the sun and could use some calming soothing hydration you could slap these on. Plus, should anyone see you with them on out in public they are super cute and adorable.
Depending on how you plan to use it will determine whether it's worth it or not. If I'm home and looking to do a masking session, I would rather just use a full sheet mask on my entire face so it's a pass...but if you're someone that's constantly on the go and would like to have something on hand to spot mask then go for it.

THOUGHTS
June 12th, 2018: OMG I LOVE THESE! These are not only super adorable, BUT they are effective and super comfortable to wear...well it's made of a comfortable material. These are soft and flexible, so they feel great on the skin and easily flex to fit the contours of your face...but the fit was a bit small. At least for me. The one and only pitfall, in my opinion, of this product, although I do seem to have a bigger than average sized head in comparison to most Koreans.
In Korea having a small face is a beauty standard. Telling someone they have a very small face is actually a compliment. Me...I do not have a small face/head. I don't think it's overly large by any means, but it definitely isn't Korean/Asian small, so the fit of this was a bit tight for me. The loops where you hook it over your ears...I wish it was just a little bit longer. Although the other eye masks that I've tried, which are also Korean/Asian fit me fine.
Anywho, I could still get it on and wear it, but it was a bit tight...so I tried stretching out the ear strap, but ended up tearing one of them completely, so if you have an larger sized head like me then you'll probably encounter the same issue. If you have a standard small asian sized head then it probably won't be a problem, but enough about head sizes...on to the other stuff.
This has a strong lavender scent, which is supposed to be relaxing. I'm someone that is generally sensitive to scents, but I didn't find it to be bothersome. Did I find it to be relaxing though? I don't know...I mean I was relaxed of course in general from the whole eye masking session...laying in bed in my comfy pj's with some music going in the background and using the actual eye mask, but I think that had more to do with the whole process and the fact that I was relaxing and not because the lavender scent calmed me down and made me relax...I don't know that I fully believe in aromatherapy, but if you do and it works for you then this does have a strong lavender scent.
Regardless, this does a great job of soothing and de-stressing my tired overworked eyes. I have extremely dry eyes (a symptom of my thyroid issues and the fact that I live in a dry desert climate), but on the days that I used this the night before, I feel like my contacts do feel more comfortable and for longer so it definitely seems to help address my dry eye situation. Before I would have to take out my contacts and switch to my glasses at the end of the day, but when I use these I can actually keep my contacts in all the way up until I go to bed. Now, it doesn't completely cure and get rid of my dry eyes, but I feel like it does help make them less dry than normal and better.
Overall the effects of this in comparison to the other eye masks that I've tried are pretty much spot on, but in terms of the texture and the fabric composition, the material that it's made of, that's where these eye masks differ and these are a nice compromise between the SNP Warming eye masks: https://ahnspired.blogspot.com/2016/01/snp.html and the Kao Megurhythm eye masks: https://ahnspired.blogspot.com/2017/01/kao-eye-mask.html.
These Etude House eye masks are soft and flexible, but not as soft and flexible as the Kao eye mask...BUT it is still super cute like the SNP masks...if not more, in my opinion, so if you don't mind sacrificing a little bit of comfort then you will definitely love this one the best out of the three. However, if you don't care about how cute the eye mask is and all you want is ultimate comfort then I would stick with the Kao Megurhythm eye masks. While these are still nice and comfortable, and definitely loads more comfortable than the stiffer SNP eye masks, they are still not quite as comfortable as the Kao eye masks.

Size: 7 g
The wash-off type Bubble Pore Cleansing Patch cleanses impurities, and the pore astringent effect of Grapefruit Carbonated Water™ Bubble tightens pores on the butterfly zone characterized by excessive sebum secretion.
Pore-tightening. Pore-cleansing. Pore-minimizing. Bubble therapy. Fresh grapefruit scents.
HOW TO USE
1. After washing the face, open the product and closely attach the patch on towel-dried face while aligning it with the nose and cheek. (The solution may settle, so rub the surface of the product in a circular motion to mix the content well before use.)
2. After 10 minutes when carbon bubbles are generated, remove the patch.
3. Gently massage the remaining residue on skin, and then wash off with lukewarm water.
*When Grapefruit Carbonated Water™ rises, your skin may get red or burn, but they are normal reactions to the massage effect of bubble.
If the burning sensation persists for more than 15 minutes, discontinue use and wash off with lukewarm water.
*DO NOT apply over 15 mins.

THOUGHTS
February 3rd, 2017: I got an unexpected and un-welcomed visitor on the side of my nose this evening, so I decided to whip this baby out and give it a go.
This carbonated bubble mask, meant to target the butterfly area (nose and cheeks), was made of a super soft and plushy Bamboo fiber that felt really nice on the face and smelled really nice too...it had a sweet citrusy scent, probably due to the grapefruit in it. I wish it would've been a bit bigger to cover a little bit more of my nose and especially the rest of my cheeks, but it was an adequate size for what it was. As for the adherence, it didn't feel the most secure on my nose, so I tried to sit still as much as possible and that did the trick as it didn't slide down at all.
As is usual with most carbonated bubble packs, this too felt ticklish as the bubbles formed but it wasn't too bad. The packaging notes that as the Grapefruit Carbonated Water bubbles up the skin may get red or burn, but I personally didn't experience either of those things, thankfully. It was just a bit ticklish and that was it. Also, it starts to bubble up very quickly, so sadly you only get to have a cute cat face for a few seconds before the design starts to get enveloped by all the bubbles.
After all was said and done, my un-welcomed visitor was on it's way out so I was happy...it hadn't cleared out completely, but it was a lot better. It was less red, less painful, and flatter so it did seem to be effective in helping to clear out the pores. As far as the pore tightening, it did "shrink" them some, but I've tried more effective pore shrinkers.
While I love the packaging and it is effective in helping to clear out the pores, I don't know that I would repurchase this. I find it rather expensive for something that cleans such a small and targeted area. Perhaps if you have dry skin and only have sebum and oil issues in the nose area, then you might want to go this route with the targeted nose patches, but for me I would rather use one that covers a lot more real estate. Usually they don't make full sized bubble masks that cover the entire face, but they do make them to cover the lower half for around the same price, so I will stick with those. The one I really like is the Berrisom Oops Soda Bubble Mask: https://ahnspired.blogspot.com/2016/11/berrisom-skincare.html, which is awesome.

THOUGHTS
January 25th, 2017: Umm...its good. It's good and it does do its job very well, but I, me personally, am not a fan.
Once you get past the first top most layer, which is a little dry and waxy feeling (like hard wax feeling) or maybe stiff would be a better description, but once you get past that it does get slippery smooth and glides on the lips really nicely. It smells like real honey and feels like it too...so much so that I thought it would also taste like honey, but it doesn't. It doesn't really have any taste to it at all actually.
Anywho, it is hydrating and nourishing and does do a great job of keeping my lips nicely hydrated and smooth, but I don't like how it feels on my lips. It's not sticky or heavy or anything like that, but I do notice it on my lips and I am not a fan of products that I can feel on my skin...I don't like feeling my skincare. When I'm wearing this lip balm though I can tell I'm wearing this lip balm. If you were to do a blind test on me of random lip balms, I would totally be able to pick this out and tell which one this was.
Like I said, it's not heavy. In fact it is lightweight, but it doesn't FEEL lightweight...which probably doesn't make any sense and you're probably thinking what the heck is she talking about, but it's true. How to explain...you know what it is? It's not that it's heavy, but I can still feel it because it creates a barrier on my lips and is very emollient. Looking at the ingredient list I see that there's also petrolatum in this product in addition to the honey, so I think those two ingredients are what is responsible for creating that barrier on my lips and making them feel very emollient...which I personally rarely like products that are very emollient. It does happen, but not very often. On the flip side though because it is emollient and creates that barrier, once you slather this baby on it does last a long time on the lips.
That being said, it doesn't drive me bonkers to the point where I can't stand it and I don't want to be wasteful and it is very good performance wise, so I will still use this up...I'll probably just stick to applying this before bed so that I can't feel it while I'm asleep, but I have no plans to repurchase this. However, as long as you don't mind emollient feeling products I would say go for it and give it a try because if it weren't for the fact that it was emollient feeling, I would have no problems with this lip balm and actually really like it....although it is a pricier lip balm. I got mine for $8.99, whereas I can get a chapstick from the drugstore for $3.99 or less, but then again this has honey and ceramides in it so it's supposed to be really great for the lips and provide lip care benefits aside from just hydrating the lips, so yeah. If you don't mind emollient products then go for it, otherwise you can sit this one out.

Etude House's "I Need You, Yogurt!" facial massage pack is a wash-off cream infused with fruit and yogurt extracts that nourish and replenish thirsty skin. Packed with antioxidants and intense cleansing properties, the strawberry yogurt brightens the skin.
HOW TO USE
After cleansing and prior to toner application, massage yogurt into face. Avoid contact with eyes and mouth. Leave on for 10 minutes, then rinse off with warm water.
INGREDIENTS
Water, Butylene Glycol, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Hydrogenated Poly (C6-14 Olefin), Glycerin, Sucrose Palmitate, Polyacrylate-13, Phenoxyethanol, Glyceryl Stearate, Polyisobutene, Xanthan Gum, Chlorphenesin, Fragrance, Yogurt Powder, Ethylhexylglycerin, Polysorbate 20, Mannan, Glyceryl Stearate Citrate, Sucrose, Disodium EDTA, Caprylyl Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Fruit Extract, Yellow 6 (CI 15985), Yellow 5 (CI 19140), Tropolone
THOUGHTS
OMG this looks, feels, and smells just like strawberry yogurt. If I didn't know any better I would have thought I was slathering some actual strawberry yogurt on my face. Also, it smelled so delicious it was giving me some serious strawberry yogurt cravings...and I was really tempted to give it a taste...but I didn't.
Yummy delicious scent and aesthetics aside, this actually performs as well. It left my face hydrated, smooth, and nourished and the biggest thing that made me a fan is that it took my struggling not so great skin (it's still recovering from a really bad reaction to a sheet mask) and made it look a lot healthier and bright.
Another plus is that these are packaged in awesome little sturdy capsules so they would be great for travel as well. I will most definitely be repurchasing some more of these to have on hand. I only got the strawberry "flavor" to try this time around, but I know they do have 3 other flavors so I will definitely have to try them out as well.

Etude House Cat Headband
The cutest cat headband you can wear while washing your face. Forget about those fly aways and push all of your hair up and out of your face as you cleanse away!
HOW TO USE
Put over head and pull up to the top of the head so it sits at the top.
THOUGHTS
So adorable and so cute, but sadly a little bit too small for my large head. It fits, but its a bit too tight for my liking...also, I seem to have a flat head so it keeps crawling up the back of my head and won't stay in place. Not the products fault, but if you're someone that also has a flat back of the head then you'll probably run into the same issue.

INGREDIENTS
Water, Alcohol, Butylene Glycol, Betaine, Mentha Arvensis Extract, Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit/ Leaf Extract, Saccharum Officinarum (Sugar Cane) Extract, Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract, Cham- Aecyparis Obtusa Water, Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract, Acer Saccharum (Sugar Maple) Extract, Gentiana Lu- Tea Root Extract, Artemisia Absinthium Extract, Arnica Montana Flower Extract, Achillea Millefolium Extract, Glycereth-26, Glycerin, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Acetic Acid, Disodium Edta, Phenoxyethanol
THOUGHTS
Nice toner. No way to tell if it actually balances the pH level of my skin, but it leaves my skin feeling nice, cool and fresh. This does contain alcohol, but it doesn't irritate my skin at all and it doesn't strip my skin either. It's still nice and hydrated. Not a product that knocks my socks off, but it's still a great solid product. This would be a great starter toner for someone new to Korean skincare or just skincare in general to dip their toe in. I will definitely use it up, but I don't see myself repurchasing this again in the future.
