La'dor Hydro LPP Treatment

Ebay: https://go.magik.ly/ml/c6ag/

Size: 150 ml

Hopelessly damaged hair? Fear not, your gorgeous hair can be restored and repaired to own up to its former glory. Lador Hydro LPP Treatment is an intensive hair care product that features 5% hair cortex cell and pH 4.5, a special blend formulated in advanced technology to provide a double collagen treatment for the hair. Double collagen treatment supplies abundant moisture to each and every hair strand - the ultimate rescue to extremely dry and damaged hair. This treatment seals in moisture and nutrients to keep the hair healthy, soft, natural and bouncy.

HOW TO USE

After shampooing, apply an appropriate amount onto the end of your wet hair and leave it for 3 minutes.

***Memebox just has you using it as a regular conditioner, but you can actually use this product several ways...3 to be exact.

1. You can use it as a regular day to day conditioner as Memebox describes above.

2. You can use it as a hair treatment mask where you shampoo first, then work this into your hair and cover with a shower cap and leave it in for 10-15 min before rinsing it out.

3. You can use this as a pre and/or post treatment for when you perm or color your hair. To use as a pre-treatment, apply this to the hair and leave it in for 10 min before proceeding with the perm or coloring. To use as a post-treatment, after you are done perming or coloring your hair, apply this treatment where needed and leave on for 10 min before rinsing out.

VERDICT

Two words...HOLY GRAIL. This treatment is beyond words. I love the acid shampoo reviewed above, but this...this is beyond love. This treatment is the soulmate to my hair. It gave me that amazingly perfect celebrity hair commercial hair. You know those commercials where they have impossibly smooth and shiny bouncy perfect hair? Yeah, that hair. The only thing missing was the volume...I wish this gave me more volume as well, as I have very thin fine hair, but I won't hold that against this treatment as it's not a volumizing conditioner/treatment. That's not what it's marketed as or what it's meant to address/treat. Other than that this is perfect.

I did not know my hair could ever be so smooth and frizz free and shiny and soft and lively. I was shocked. I could tell as I was rinsing it out of my hair in the shower that there was something different about this product and that it was going to be a good product, but I had no idea at the time just how amazing it would end up being.

Best part? Well not best part, but another awesome thing about this treatment is that the amazing hair lasted for like a week so you don't have to keep using it every time you wash your hair. I mean you could if you wanted to, but it's completely not necessary...at least for me it wasn't. Using it once a week was totally fine, and in between I just shampoo'd my hair with the acid shampoo...I didn't even use conditioner and my hair was still going strong.

Now, if you have more unmanageable unruly hair or are someone that regularly colors or perms your hair than perhaps you may need to use it more often or as a hair treatment mask to really deep condition the hair, but for me once a week was totally fine. Like I mentioned above, I have very fine hair that is also a bit wavy and can get frizzy...I have A LOT of baby hairs which drive me crazy sometimes, but anywho just using this once a week as regular conditioner works for me.

Also, this smells really nice. I will admit it is a bit of a perfumey smell, but it's not overpoweringly strong and I don't mind it. I'm usually not a fan of the perfumey scents, but shockingly I actually kind of like it.

Definitely a MUST TRY item. I already have backups on hand because I don't ever want to be without a bottle of this treatment.

Secret Key Lemon Sparkling Peeling Gel

Ebay: https://go.magik.ly/ml/c6ah/
https://us.memebox.com/product/5408

Size: 120ml

Replenish moisture, relax your skin and eliminate dead skin cell build up! This gommage type of peeling gel is the answer to all your exfoliating concerns. While your skin is renewed with its peeling function, it also nourishes and helps replenish moisture back into your skin. Formulated with lemon, the citric acid from the lemon helps remove the dead skin cells, and is packed with Vitamin C to brighten up your complexion. While the carbonated water helps your skins elasticity and eliminate waste from your pores with it's exfoliating properties. --Memebox

HOW TO USE

According to Memebox: "Use this peeling gel on dry skin. Before washing your face, dispense an ample amount of the peeling gel and gently massage it all over the face until residues form. Keep doing it for 5 minutes then rinse off with lukewarm water."

I would like to point out that the Memebox website states to use this before washing your face, but upon reading the instructions on the actual product (yeah for being able to read Korean) it says to cleanse your face first, then dry your face completely before going in with the gel. Also, nowhere on the product does it say to massage it in for 5 min. I don't know where they got that from. The instructions on the actual product states to just massage the product all over the face (avoiding the eyes and mouth) and then rinse with lukewarm water. 

So to recap: cleanse face, pat dry completely, massage an ample amount of product all over the face (avoiding eyes and mouth) until residue forms then rinse off with lukewarm water. Quick, easy and effective.

Definitely wouldn't recommend massaging this onto your face for an entire 5 minutes as the product dissipates leaving just the dead skin residue with no lubricant between your hand and face. This skin to skin rubbing would cause friction and actually end up being detrimental to your skin, so once it's all massaged in just go straight to rinsing your face. 

INGREDIENTS

Water, Cetrimonium Chloride, Cellulose, Propylene Glycol, Zanthoxylum Piperitum Fruit Extract, Pulsatilla Koreana Extract, Usnea Barbata (Lichen) Extract, Carbomer, Polysorbate 80, Lemon Water (90 ppm), Lemon Extract (10 ppm), Carbonated Water (47ppm), Camellia Sinensis Leaf Water (47 Ppm), Althaea Rosea Flower Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Carica Papaya (Papaya) Fruit Extract, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Sodium Hyaluronate, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract, Algae Extract, Brassica Oleracea Italica (Broccoli) Extract, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, 1,2-Hexanediol, Disodium EDTA, Perfume

VERDICT

I love this product. It has a slight lemony scent, does what it's supposed to do, and is fun to use. It's kinda gross, but totally satisfying and fun to slough off all that dead skin from your face. Leaves your skin feeling clean, smooth and moisturized which plays a big part in why I like it so much. 

I have tried a different peeling gel, but I wasn't a huge fan of it because while it did slough off the dead skin like this one, it wasn't as moisturizing and I felt like it left my skin clean but dry. This one however, the formula is moisturizing and smooth while still doing it's job. Also, because of the lemon I do feel like it had the added bonus of brightening my face as well.

This is my first time trying out acne patches and not gonna lie...I was a little skeptical. I thought how is this little clear thing supposed make a difference? Because honestly it felt like I was just sticking a round piece of silicone tape on my face, but boy do these little guys pack a big punch.

Great cleansing water. I love that it doesn't irritate my eyes, yet still does a great job of removing my eye makeup. I have VERY sensitive eyes, so I'm really happy that I finally found a product that is non-irritating, easy and effective at getting rid of my eye makeup. I initially got a sample size of this, but I liked it so much I ended up purchasing a full sized bottle. Also, how simple, elegant and beautiful is this packaging? I love it.

VERDICT

October 6th, 2016: Despite the adorably cute packaging, I'm not a fan of these. They are made of a soft bouncy hydrogel material that I thought I would enjoy, but it was just so uncomfortable to wear. I kept adjusting and readjusting the entire time and I could never quite get it to sit comfortably despite the fact that it's made of a soft comfortable material...ironic.

Also, I kept these in the fridge so they would be nice and cooling, but as soon as I took them out and applied them they had already warmed up and weren't cool anymore. It would not stay cool in the slightest. Kinda weird because my sheet masks, which I don't refrigerate, are so cooling and refreshing on my face but these I actually kept in the fridge but they would not stay cool for even a minute.

Lastly, I don't know that it did anything for my under eyes...I couldn't really tell a difference. I thought maybe it was because I was so busy fidgeting and adjusting and re-adjusting these while I had them on, so I steeled myself and suffered through a 2 hour session without touching and adjusting these after the initial application, which btw was such a miserable and long 2 hours, and still no difference...other than the wrinkles/lines it created from the edges of the eye patch digging into my under eye so these are a pass for me. Not cooling, extremely uncomfortable, and they didn't do anything.

The only "good" thing about this eye patch is that it adheres to the face really well so you can sit up and do whatever you want with these on, but who cares if it sticks to the face really well if its sticking uncomfortably...right?

Elizavecca Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MWI2IS0/?tag=memebox-20&th=1

Size: 100g

This bubble clay mask is both a deep-cleansing makeup remover and pore cleanser in one! With its special formulation of charcoal powder, it deeply penetrates the pores to thoroughly get rid of deep-seated dirt while supplying proper nutrients to keep the skin healthy and supple. It not only cleanses, refines and tightens pores but it also helps control excessive sebum which usually causes the pores to be clogged. --Memebox

HOW TO USE

Scoop a proper amount of the Elizavecca Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask and spread evenly on dry, uncleansed face. Wait for 5 minutes until bubbles start to appear then gently massage it all over the face to melt down dirt. Rinse off with lukewarm water.

INGREDIENTS

Purified Water, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, White Clay, Acrylate Copolymer, Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, Methyl Perfluorobutyl Ether, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Lauramide DEA, TEA-Cocoyl Glutamate, Green Tea Extracts, Glycerine, Dipropylene Glycol, Bentonite, Collagen, Charcoal Powder, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Flavouring Agents, Carbonated Water, Xanthan Gum, Disodium EDTA, Allantoin, Butylene Glycol, Lavender Extracts, Monarda Didyma Leaf Extracts, Peppermint Leaf Extracts, Freesia Leaf Extracts, Chamomile Flower Extracts, Rosemary Leaf Extracts

VERDICT

Liked this product. Not only did it do its job, but it was fun to use as well. It left my skin feeling squeaky clean, smooth, and soft like a baby's bottom...and I feel like it firmed/tightened my skin a bit as well. I don't know if it's just the novelty of the product, but it was very amusing to watch, feel, and hear the bubbles form on my face as well. Fun and effective!

The instructions on the actual package doesn't mention whether to use this before or after cleansing so I leave that decision to you, but I cleanse and tone first before going in with this product. The packaging just simply states to apply it all over the face (avoiding the eyes) , leave on for 3-5 min. (during which time the product will begin to bubble over), once your face has bubbled over apply a little bit of water to massage the bubbles on your face then rinse off completely using lukewarm water.

To keep thing's hygienic I tried to apply it all over my face with the spatula that is included, but I ended up with way too much product on my face (as you can see in the picture below), so I suggest dotting the product onto the face with the spatula and then using your fingers to spread it out quickly. I think that would be a much better and faster way to apply this product, which will also help you to not overuse the product as a little goes a long way.

One thing to note though is that this can be a bit difficult to remove. It's very...slippery and it takes a bit of effort to remove it completely where it doesn't feel like there's a thin layer of the product still left on your face. The first time around because I put so much on it took forever to take off, but like I said a little goes a long way and it definitely makes it that much easier to clean off your face.

UPDATE: This is such a huge pain in the butt to remove it's just not worth it for me anymore. I didn't want to waste this product, so I took it out to use again...the first time in a long time, and I so regretted it. First of all, when you use the product sparingly it doesn't really bubble up that much...which is the whole point and fun of using this product over a regular clay mask. Secondly, even though you use less product it's still a pain to remove! I used wasted so much water, ended up scrubbing my face for an obnoxiously long time (at least I got in a good arm workout?) and it ended up getting in my mouth and nostrils (which is not pleasant) and it's just...it's not worth it anymore. 

Back when I first tried it out, the novelty of the product just grabbed me. It got me so excited and it was different and new and fun and because of that I wasn't as bothered and was accepting and willing to deal with the difficult nature of removal, but now I'm so over it.

I've since found a carbonated sheet mask that bubbles up like crazy and is so easy and fun and simple to use and remove, and a clay mask that I actually like even more than this one that performs better and is also easy to remove. Now that I know I have other products that I can turn to to take its place I don't even reach for this anymore.

If you want the fun bubbling experience I suggest you give a carbonated sheet mask a try instead. There are several out there that you can try. I personally have tried the Mediheal Mogongtox Soda Bubble Sheet Mask which is great...you can check out my review here: https://ahnspired.blogspot.com/2016/06/mediheal.html; and if you want a bomb clay mask then I recommend Too Cool For School's Morocco Ghassoul Creamy Mousse Pack...you can check out my review here: https://ahnspired.blogspot.com/2016/04/too-cool-for-school.html.

Size: 25 ml

It also delivers a dewy finish that enhances the skin's natural glowing complexion.

VERDICT

The rest of the 9 masks in this box is going straight back to Memebox. This made me so nauseous and sick to my stomach I was actually incapacitated for the next hour while I laid in bed recovering. I don't know what it was in this mask, but it just did not get along with my body (hence no picture of me with it on below...sorry). Looking at the ingredient list it looks like it has a lot of the usual skincare sheet mask ingredients, so I guess it's the donkey milk??? At any rate, I haven't felt that sick to my stomach in a loooooong time and I know it was the mask because I was feeling completely fine until I put this mask on and once I got it off my face and it had a chance to completely sink into the skin I started to feel better.

As for the mask itself, this is different from your usual sheet mask in that it's not soaked in serum but rather a cream...which btw is not spread evenly across the mask. There was a ton bunched up on a section of the forehead and there were other spots that barely had any cream. I had to use my fingers to spread the cream out evenly on the mask, which I feel like wasn't the most sanitary thing to do even though I had washed my hands. In retrospect I probably should have used one of my cleansed skincare spatulas. 

Also, that description on the Memebox website is really misleading. It says that this mask has a "special steaming action" which is a huge reason why I bought this, but there was none. Usually I don't like to get a batch of masks unless I know I like it. I like to buy one and try it out first, but they didn't sell these individually and you could only get it in a 10 pack; but I figured it sounded interesting and unique and different and due to that key phrase amazing so I got it. 

I totally regret that decision now. I don't know about you, but when I hear steaming action it makes me think it's going to heat up on my face. Isn't that how steam is created? Through heat? I expected this to heat up and "open" the pores so that the cream could better penetrate the skin and work it's magic, but there was nothing like that. This was basically your typical sheet mask except for the fact that it uses a cream moisturizer instead of a serum. That was the only difference.

Disappointed on so many levels with this one, which is a shame because I really love this brand and it's adorable piggy mascot. I would most definitely recommend skipping this one. Instead try the hydrogel mask reviewed below. That one was AWESOME. This one was the complete opposite.

Size: 30 g

VERDICT

AWESOME mask. It was a bit dicey getting it on...the mask is SUPER slippery, so slippery in fact that even the plastic cover (both front and back) that usually comes attached to gel masks slid off leaving no traction whatsoever; but nonetheless I really loved the texture of this thicker gel sheet mask.

It did slide a teeny bit while sitting on my face, but it wasn't too bad. Because of how slippery the application process was I was afraid I was going to have to lie down, but I only had to pull it up a teeny bit above my lips a couple times...probably cause I was talking with it on. When I was silent the mask stayed put (barely, but it did stay), it was only when I spoke and moved my lips that I felt it slide a little bit.

The mask was a bit on the smaller side, so it didn't cover the very outer perimeter of my face, but I love the fact that it was a two piece sheet mask...I feel like that allowed it to better fit my face and made the application process easier...aside from the fact that it was slippery, the only "con" of this mask. I usually always have to adjust sheets masks that are a one piece when I apply it to my face, but that wasn't the case here. 

Once you get past all the slipperiness though and get it on, it is very cooling and refreshing on the face and definitely leaves your skin hydrated without leaving an over excess of serum on the face which I appreciate and love. Also, I love the fact that as the gel dried on my face it didn't dry out my face and stick to it like the Leaders gel masks do. A huge plus in my opinion.

Can't say that I noticed any tightening of pores or firming of the skin, but it did leave my face looking nice and hydrated and glowy and soft and smooth. Will definitely get more and continue to use these. These left my face looking very healthy and hydrated and radiant.

Water, Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Lauramide DEA, Cocamide MEA, Polyquaternium-7, Polyquaternium-10, Silk Powder, Silkworm Cocoon Extract, Hydrolyzed Silk, Milk Protein Extract, Hydrolyzed Rice Protein, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Keratin Amino Acids, Panthenol, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Aloe Ferox Leaf Extract, Hydrolyzed Elastin, Hydrolyzed Keratin, Arginine, Betaine, Citric Acid, Sodium PCA, Disodium EDTA, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Sodium Benzoate, Salicylic Acid, Glycolic Acid, Flavor

Claims to have no silicon, no SLS/surfactant, no phenoxyethanol, and no paraben/pigment

VERDICT

I found my holy grail shampoo. This shampoo is INCREDIBLE. It's not a 2-in-1 product, but I can actually get away with not using a conditioner with this shampoo. It leaves my hair so silky smooth and soft and shiny and hydrated and even beyond that I can actually feel a difference in my hair which feels so much thicker and stronger and resilient.

I feel like the health of my hair has greatly improved...all from just the shampoo. I didn't use a conditioner or any other hair product at all with this. Those 8 kinds of proteins and 3 kinds of silk definitely seem to be working wonders, and it claims to be free of all the bad stuff like silicon, SLS, parabens, etc. so that's a huge plus.

The only "con" is that this is expensive, but this bottle is HUGE so you do get a ton of product which will probably last you for a really long time. I mean there's 1000 ml of product in this bottle.

This is definitely a must-try item...especially if you're someone who has damaged hair. I don't think you'll be disappointed. This has been so awesome I have actually been neglecting my La'dor Hydro LPP Treatment because this one on its own is phenomenal.
