I am so in love with Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque! :heart: So many have claimed it works wonders, including me! And so I feel the need to share it with you.

I first read about this product from Neren’s blog. Being a sucker for minty skin/body care products, I thought I had to get myself this. But I’ve never seen this on local marts or drugstores. :no:

Until I’ve learned from Thiamere’s blog that it’s available at Healthy Options! :laugh: So when my brother went to the mall last week I asked him to purchase it for me. He got it for 329.50 PHP or around $7. Even though it’s almost twice the original price (it’s just $4 in US), at least it’s cheaper than purchasing it online.

It’s a wash-off mask. I apply it after cleansing my face with my favorite soap (Cyleina black pearl that is!) and using toner, and then wash it off after 15 minutes. I’ve used it 3 times this week! Can be very drying if used often so I moisturize my face after using it.

Now here’s a more detailed photo of what it does:

It claims to help:

  • dry up acne pimples
  • rinse away blackheads
  • shrink enlarged pores

And I must say, it works! :clap: It somehow dried up stubborn pimples that kept on sprouting in between my eyebrows again and again, and with continued use hopefully they’ll be totally gone soon! I noticed my skin has also firmed up and became smooth. My skin feels refreshed and very clean. :boogie:

I quote the back label:

Even for individuals who are fortunately free of skin problems, Mint Julep Masque is a refreshing facial treatment that helps relax tired muscles and ease tension lines on the face and neck.

For the lulz, here’s a photo of me using Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque: Show ▼

I didn’t realize I used it sparingly as it was my first time to use a wash-off mask and my face absorbed it too fast before I could thoroughly even it out on my face! I’ll try better next time!

It’s now part of my skin care routine. And when I’m done with this tube, will I get it again? Definitely, YES! :D

I recently ran out of lip balm… thought my next one has to be from Etude House. I’ve been to every single EH branch and I’ve been meaning to buy from them, but I just couldn’t make a final list of what I really want to get which are mostly skincare products, for fear of getting breakouts. Up to now I’m still onto the list but the lip balm can’t wait.

So I went off to Etude House in Festival mall in Alabang. I got myself a Magic Tint Balm, as well as a black charcoal chin pack. My Kuya’s gf celebrated her birthday last Sunday and I decided to get her EH’s Follow Me Lip Tint Balm from their 2NE1 collection.

Magic Tint Balm shade #01 Magic Red for myself. Feels nice on the lips and smells like cherry! Only 198 PHP.

Etude House’s Follow Me Lip Tint Balm for my Kuya’s gf. She’s a big fan of 2NE1 (and Big Bang), so I got her this. My first time to come across and get ahold of a color-changing lippie! Looks minty green but turns to pink when applied. Cool, eh? ^_^ Only 298 PHP.

The black charcoal chin pack costs only 35 PHP. I’ve used it already, I noticed it tightened my pores and smoothened the skin around my chin area. In case you’re curious as to what it really does, here’s the text at the back of the packaging:

Since my purchase was over 500 PHP, I got their free membership card. It entitles cardholders 2% rebate (for a minimum purchase of 100 PHP) which can be used on future purchases. Nice!

I was hoping they would give me freebies, something like a Jang Geun Seuk folder instead of Lee Minho’s (is there any like it? coz I really really like him as Tae Kyung in You’re Beatiful~), but unfortunately I didn’t get any. I better finalize my list and make sure I surpass that 1000 PHP mark to get freebies!

I look forward to more puchases from Etude House. I’m actually eyeing their BB Magic Balm and Brightening Sleeping Pack (I’m getting Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque instead), but I can’t buy the BB Magic Balm til my Missha bb cream runs out. :suspicious:

Can you recommend any other Etude House products?
