VERDICT

July 18th, 2017: I LOVE this shampoo. I have found some great shampoos over the past year and a half and depending on what your needs are and what you're looking for in a shampoo will dictate which one you should get, but this one does exactly what it's meant to do...it actually prevents hair loss.

I shed a lot of hair...like A LOT of hair. I often joke that I'm surprised I'm not bald because I shed so much hair...even my mom is concerned and bugs me about going to a specialist because she thinks I shed an excessive amount of hair, but I heard it's actually normal to shed about 50-100 strands of hair a day and for some even 150 strands so I think I'm ok? While I don't and haven't ever sat there and counted every single strand that I've shed in a day I definitely don't think I'm shedding THAT amount of hair, so I do have some peace of mind about that after hearing that statistic, but it's still extremely annoying shedding so much hair so I decided to give this a whirl and boy oh boy does it make a world of difference.

I think I only shed like a few hairs throughout the ENTIRE day...like I can count on one hand the amount of hairs that I shed...that's how little I shed after using this shampoo. However, you do have to keep consistently using it for it to be effective. Once you switch to a different shampoo or go for too long between washes, your hair will go back to shedding it's normal amount so I have to make sure to consistently shampoo my hair with this particular shampoo every other day to keep the shedding in check. Not only does this work to prevent hair loss, it also leaves your hair feeling silky smooth and soft and shiny, which I love, so its just a great shampoo overall as well.

I find that, in terms of strengthening, the Hair+ Velvet Injection Shampoo: https://ahnspired.blogspot.com/2016/10/hair-haircare.html does a better job...it actually leaves your individual strands feeling physically thicker and stronger so if that's what you need that I would go with that one, but for shedding issues and anti-hair loss then go with this one. If you just want a general overall great keep your hair moisturized healthy silky smooth and shiny than the La'dor shampoo: https://ahnspired.blogspot.com/2016/04/lador.html is great.

For me, I have thin fine hair that sheds a lot so I naturally gravitate more towards the Ryo and Hair+ Velvet since I've discovered them and don't really use the La'dor anymore, but I do love all three and whole heartedly recommend all three of these shampoos. The only way a shampoo could be better is if I could find one that was a combination of the Ryo and Hair+ Velvet so I could have the physically thickening effect of each individual strand whilst not shedding much hair. I tried doing a 50/50 mixture of the shampoos at once, but that just made the shampoos ineffective. I was still shedding a lot of hair and my individual strands weren't really thickened, so simply mixing the two doesn't work.

Anywho, I feel like I could just ramble on about the shampoos for forever so let me just stop here. All three are fabulous and I recommend all three...this one especially if you too shed a lot of hair like me. It really does work wonders to limit your hair loss...and you will notice results after even just one use. Definitely Ahn approved, and it gets two thumbs up and five out of five stars from me.

Oh and one last note, this doesn't smell the best. It's got that asian herbal "hanbang" scent to it. If you enjoy that type of scent then you will love this shampoo, but I'm not really a fan of the herbal scents...however, it's not enough to be off putting and I am fine with still using it every other day to wash my hair.

VERDICT
October 15th, 2016: This was your average sheet mask. It was hydrating and nice and a little bit calming, but nothing spectacular. The material itself kind of looked and felt like gauze...a single layer of gauze that had a thicker weave made of a somewhat plastic-y cotton. Not the softest and plushiest material, but it was still comfortable and fine. Considering this is only $1 per mask this is great to just throw on and use as an everyday mask and in between uses of the more pricier premium masks.

Plus, it's so easy to clean and pack away, with a sliding cover to tame the bristles and a hygienic cap with drainage holes for ventilation.

Memetips: This pore brush is super soft and delicate, so it can be used daily.

VERDICT

July 12th, 2017: I really wanted to love this, and I thought I would love this after trying it for the first time, but it's got one major con that I just can't get over...but first the good.

This cleansing brush has got super cute adorable Hello Kitty packaging that takes me back to my childhood. It's what initially caught my eye and made me purchase this, but even beyond the packaging this brush has got the softest bristles ever. I just love running the brush over my skin (dry) because it's sooooo super soft and feels good.

Also, it does a good job of working the cleanser on my face while still being super gentle, so it's an effective cleansing tool as well and would probably be great for all skin types...even people with sensitive skin because it is so soft and gentle.

I feel like the bristles are a tad too long and would fare better if they were a just a teeny bit shorter, but it's not a big deal. Whether or not the Vitamin C-infused bristles actually work to make a difference...I don't know as I haven't been able to use this consistently for a period of time, but it is a nice cleansing brush otherwise.

Now for the bad...the bad is that once you use this brush and rinse it, it will not dry. It takes FOREVER. It's got an extremely dense brush head that refuses to dry...even in the super dry desert heat of Vegas. I literally have to wait like 2 full days for it to dry, which is no good since I need to wash my face everyday. At first I thought maybe the ventilation holes on the cap weren't good enough, so I tried drying the brush without the cap, but even still it took forever to dry.

If I have this much trouble drying the brush in this extremely dry desert environment then I can only imagine how long it would take to dry in an environment that is much more humid, so for that reason this, unfortunately, gets a big fat pass from me...also, because the brush remained wet for so long and wouldn't dry it made me worry about mold. None formed, as far as I could see or tell in my brief stint with this brush, but it's never good to have prolonged periods of moisture...especially in an enclosed space, so while the cap is nice to have I don't think it's ideal to try and dry the brush stored in the cap even if it does have those ventilation holes...not that it matters because like I said it's not worth the trouble and I recommend a pass.

Anywho, if you're looking for a really good facial cleansing brush then I would recommend checking out the I'm Meme Dual Pore Brush: https://ahnspired.blogspot.com/2016/04/im-meme.html. It's not as cute as the Hello Kitty packaging and not as densely packed with obnoxiously soft bristles, but it's still ultra-soft and effective and cute with it's pop of hot pink AND it actually dries down completely in a timely manner.

VERDICT
September 13th, 2016: This is a nice cooling refreshing super hydrating modeling mask, but I much prefer the modeling masks from Ettang which are cheaper but provide better results in my opinion. I don't know if it's because I've been dying to try this and my expectations were high going into it, but I was kind of disappointed. While it is nice, I don't think it performs as well as the Ettang masks.

The gold, which there really are flecks of gold in this and you can see it sparkling in the powder, didn't give me the radiant glow this claims to. If you're just looking for a super hydrating cooling and refreshing mask than this will be right up your alley, but the Ettang masks are equally if not more hydrating, cooling, refreshing, and leave your skin looking luminous and bright and super soft and smooth and beautiful...results that last for the entire night and all through the next day.

The one plus about this set though is the spatula that was included. The spatula included with the Ettang masks are absolute crap, but the Lindsay spatula is bomb. It's got a long handle which makes it super easy to hold and it has a nice sizable head to easily spread and apply the product on the face. I LOVE the spatula. The included bowl is meh...it's made of a silicone rubber and it feels cheap and easily rip-able at the seams. It's convenient in a pinch, but I would much prefer using an actual bowl.

I'm sure you can tell, but this is a pass for me. It's not that it's bad, but there's better and I've already gone ahead and repurchased another box of the Ettang modeling masks to take care of my rubber masking needs.
