Review: Skinfood Black Sugar Mask Wash Off ~
Today, I will be reviewing the highly raved about SkinFood exfoliator, the black sugar mask wash off. This product has been released for a good few years and when it first came out up until now, this has been one of the best sellers from SkinFood and had received so many praises from the customers who have tried it, so off course being a skin care junkie and a lover of SkinFood cosmetics, especially their skincare items, I had to try this out ~ 


"Black sugar mask with rich minerals and vitamins to provide luster and smoothness to skin."


One thing I like about the packaging from SkinFood is that they come with English description information as well as Hangul, so those who do not know Hangul/Korean can still be able to understand the instructions and purposes of the product.




Now onto the actual product, now I must say, it might not be the most appealing to look like. It comes in a slushy brown sugary texture, it basically looks a lot like black sugar mixed in with goo and liquid. The smell can also be a huge problem, it's a very strong scent and not everyone will be guaranteed to like it.
I personally, don't mind the scent all that, it smells like a blend of sweetness with a touch of sour and a lot of salt? as weird and nasty as that combination sounds, it didn't really bother me. Although, it's strong it still smells naturalish and not too artificial-perfume-like.
I find with a lot of exfoliators and scrubs that I have used in the past to be too abbrasive on my skin or the particals are too sharp and big that it literally hurts whenever I try to massage my face, but with this product I find the particles to be the perfect size, small and fine. This actually feels like applying a sugar scrub and effectively takes away the layer of dead skin, my skin feels baby soft after using this. Also, the more you massage the exfoliator into your face, the product becomes less abbrasive and the starts to melt away so your left with a liquid texture.
On a side note, Although the particles aren't sharp or big the scrub can be quite harsh, especially those with really sensitive skin.



before using the exfoliator on my hand, you can see some rough flaky dry bits ~

Fragrance: 3.5/5
Price: 5/5
Effects: 4/5

Overall:
Yet another outstanding product from Skinfood, I really like this exfoliator. Before this I have never tried any black sugar scrubs, but after trying this one I really want to purchase some other ones to compare, especially the klair's one. This exfoliator didn't leave my skin tight or dry once I used it either, unlike a lot of scrubs/exfoliators I have tried, almost all of them stripped all the moisture in my skin off.
However, with this one my skin still felt moisturized which I particularly like. The only thing I dislike though is that the results don't last that long, once you wake up in the morning your skin won't feel as soft, but then again for the price your paying for, you can't be expecting permanent results.



To Use: After cleansing, gently massage over wet face. Avoid eye area. Rinse off.

Cosmetic-Love Haul ~
 So recently I have been spending a LOT of money >.< (guess it's time to save up this month) but I just finished a lot of my skincare products so I had decided to purchase some new items to try out from cosmetic-love ^^ ~

Here's what I got altogether (a lot of them were samples though)
[Etude House Fresh Cherry Tint in RD301 Red]
I bought this because everyone seems to hyping about lip tints and especially this colour and the peach one, but I don't really wear peach shades on my lips much so I went with the red which is apparently meant to be more like a raspberry red colour rather than a straight on red.
 [Innisfree The green tea seed serum]
I've always wanted to try this but never got round to buying this, I first saw this product when I was streaming online to a Korean channel and saw Yoona on the CF for this product but it wasn't until I saw AhraMaBlog's YouTube video on her skincare routine had I really wanted to try this product out.
 [SkinFood Salmon Brightening Eye Cream]
I'm running low on my current Estee Lauder eye cream and I have always wanted to try SkinFood products so this was the perfect time for me to try this, It comes with quite a lot of product, more than my current Estee Lauder one, but I am excited to try this one.
 [SkinFood Black Sugar Wash Off Mask]
(sorry this picture is quite blurry for some reason my camera wouldn't focus on this product) I heard a lot of Korean bloggers and vloggers talk about this product and how amazing it is as an exfoliator for the face so I decided to give this a try after I finish up my current exfoliator/scrub.

SAMPLES!
[CW CLINIC Fresh Lemon Mask Sheet, Missha Cleansing Tissue, Innisfree Olive Real Lotion, SkinFood Water Berry Gift Set, Skin79 BB Cleanser, SkinFood Agave Cactus Sun BB Cream SPF36 PA+++, Etude House BB Cream Bright Fit 02, NESURA Charcoal nose strip, SkinFood Egg White Pore Foam]
that's a lot of sample right? I was shocked about the amount of samples there was when I opened the parcel ^^ ~

That's all for my haul today ~ I will be doing some reviews on these products when I have tried them out, also I will be having a Gmarket haul coming soon as well when it arrives ~

take care ~ ♥
