Elizavecca CER-100 Collagen Ceramide Hair Treatment ($8)
As far as I understood from my lack of Korean knowledge, this is a hair mask that you leave for 5-20min and then rinse. I must say, the price is very good, but unfortunately, the texture is gel-cream like, which means that if you have a lot of hair, you will end up using a lot of product. I can see that it does do a good job, but I can definitely say that it's not very economical for my hair. But if you don't have that much hair, I am sure you will really enjoy it!
Elizavecca Hyaluronic Acid 97% Serum (50ml from $6 on eBay)
The price is truly unbeatable. After all, you get 50ml and not 30ml as per usual standards. I was sceptical, but I was pleasantly surprised. The formula is not too thick (compared to TO) and closer to Hylamide. If you are after a very affordable option, this is the one.
Elizavecca Vitamin 21% Ample Mask ($12 for 100ml)
Alright, have a seat. This is a very strong mask, which, depending on your skin, can be either good or bad. In my case, it was more on a "bad" side. Last week, you have seen this mask for my texture Tuesday entry. The texture is truly amazing-- thick condensed milk like. However, because of the consistency, the mask isn't the easiest to apply on the skin (I tend to apply too much, I feel). Once applied, it has a mild warming effect. Anyway, you have to be VERY careful with this product. First time, I held it for 15min. Big mistake. It made my face red and sensitive for weeks. Like, no kidding. It was absolutely no bueno. Now, I hold the mask for 5min and wash off -- in a way, I am scared to "over-hold" it. Bottom line, the mask probably should be sold a) with a warning; and b) with clear instructions (which basically don't exist). If you have sensitive skin -- stay far away. If you have soft skin -- stay away or hold it only for a few minutes. If you have crocodile skin -- this mask is probably suitable for you. In conclusion, however, I would not recommend this mask due to it being rather "tricky" and potentially harmful towards your skin. I personally believe that no company should be selling such strong skincare products without proper instructions.
Elizavecca Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask (100ml for £11)
My mum just came by and brought me fresh warm waffles-- so I am sitting and writing this review while stuffing waffles into my mouth. Just like a pig...oh look! There is a pig on the mask jar too. How applicable. This mask is supposed to remove excess sebum and clean the pores, while at the same time being all bubbly and fun. You only need to have it on you for 3-5min. Very quick. Let's start with the texture. That moon landscape is simply stunning, and I absolutely love the bouncy texture of the mask. I apply it with a brush, and it starts bubbling up almost immediately. Quite quickly, you start looking very different as your face seemingly "expands" in size. I find this mask very hard and annoying to remove, to be honest. The upper layer of bubbles is totally fine, but underneath sits a more gooey layer, and that one is not my best friend. I use a konjac sponge to remove it (still takes about 2-3min to remove). Now, to the result. I don't see much of pore cleansing properties in it. Yes, it's fun, and it does remove the upper sebum layer on the skin, but when it comes to clay masks, this definitely is not the best. But it's definitely fun!
