Review: Kurstie Kiwi Fruit + Aloe Gel Mask

Posted in Beauty, Beauty Product Reviews | 0 comments

Yikes, I almost forgot I promised a review on the stuff I purchased last time {see my mini drug store haul}. Blame it on Twitter, house chores and my constant Illustrator doodling for some invitations project I was working on. Anyway, I’ve tried using the Kurstie Kiwi Fruit + Aloe Gel Mask for several times already.

And here’s what I have to say about it:

• The Gel Mask: Clear looking, sticky like most gel masks. I’m not a big fan of its fragrance I find it too masculine and I feel like someone is dangling a bunch of grass on my nose when I put on the mask. The application is easy enough though.
• Skin Reaction: Not much. Some masks leave my skin dewy and really supple. But this one, aside from the slight tightening effect, had nada effect on me. Then on my third use, my face felt really itchy I had to remove the whole thing from my face and rinse my face for the itch to come off.
• Packaging: Ugh. Can’t this company get a better package designer?
• Price: I guess that’s the only thing I like about this. Lol. I got this for just $3.90.

Mini Drugstore Skincare Haul #1

A few days ago I mentioned streamlining this blog and making some changes. Well, apart from changing the whole new look of the site, I will also be cutting down some of my now ‘bewildering’ categories. I’ve decided to focus on three main things on this blog – Beauty, Fashion, Health and Fitness. For the most part I’ve been so focused on fashion and I don’t plan to cut back on that coz I enjoy scouring for fashion finds and trend watching. But I’ll be cleaning up my categories about Fashion. And since I’m also on a constant diet, then health and fitness category would be more prominent. So do bear with me if the site appears glitchy in the next few days or so, I’ll be having some door kick plates overhauling so to speak .

One big thing I’ll be adding on the blog is the Beauty section. Mainly skin care products, tips and my newbie foray into makeup. I am crazy about skin care. It’s a passion for me so its just natural that I hoard skin care products and it suddenly occurred to me why the heck I’m not doing any posts or reviews about products I tested?  So I’ll be adding skin care product reviews and since I’ll be trying out make up soon, that will be occasionally added as well.

I love trying out new products particularly skin care stuff. And its actually a bad thing to drag me into a drug store or a cosmetics store coz I usually end up buying one or two {sometimes more!} products to try out. Just recently I was jogging and passed by a drugstore. Well, I got sidetracked and came home with this:

These stuff were on sale. Kurstie Kiwi and Aloe Gel Mask ($5.90 got it for $3.90) , Kurstie Mosquito repellent lotion ($5.90 got it for $3.90) and Bello Facial Mask in Pearl ($.95).

First impressions? The Kurstie stuff were just cheap for $3.90, I find the packaging to be off. Like this company could hire a better package designer don’t you think?  I haven’t tried all yet but for sure I’ll be reviewing each here.
