[WEEKEND IN VICTORIA]

[HOLIKA HOLIKA: AQUA SPLASH -2° ICE CUBE REVIEW]

Okay...I bought this because I thought the concept was really cool...I imagined this to be...a cube shaped jelly of some sort... didn't really know what to expect in terms of results.  

Affordability - 

★ ★ ☆ ☆ ☆ 2/5 

$5.40 CAD for 6 cubes isn't too bad...it comes up to about $0.90 a cube per use.  At the same time, the cubes are really small...and I didn't think it was worth it...

Feel - 

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ 0.5/5

It was quite difficult rubbing this..jelly all over my face...it didn't seem to want to stick and it smelled of rubbing alcohol. Perhaps I'm using this product incorrectly...someone please correct me if they love this product, but I honestly did not like this and didn't think that it did anything for me.  I was quite suspicious of the 'mask's' smell and washed it all off after application.  It smelled...toxic.  

Overall - 

★ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ 1/5

Besides a good concept and cute packaging... I will not re-purchase this.  It is definitely not something that works for my skin.  I can imagine that this product can potentially be comfortable in the summer time, after being refrigerated... somehow I do not feel inclined to revisit the remainder of my 5 cubes.  

| 1 | The packaging! Just like yogurt lol

[LUSH: LOVE LETTUCE MASK REVIEW]

Alright, so after an excellent experience with my first Lush mask, BB Seaweed, I went back for a second one! This time, I tried "Love Lettuce."  

Affordability - 

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 

Again $6.95 CAD for 2.1OZ is a great deal! I've used this mask at LEAST 6 times.  I won't argue, the texture of this mask is about the same as BB SEAWEED, so it'll last you a good few times of application :) 

Feel - 

★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ 4/5

Again, it is mandatory to store this mask in the fridge.  What I do have to give an extra half a point to this mask, is that the almond particles are small enough that they don't clog your drain up as easily. lol You will still have to be careful, but it isn't as extreme as the BB SEAWEED. You're not going to get as strong of natural oil scents out of this mask though, in comparison to BB SEAWEED.  I did like how this mask makes my skin feel though afterwards. I've been using this mask every day for the last three days and I've noticed that my skin has become softer.  I also like that the little almond bits help to exfoliate when you remove the mask.  Now I'm going to give it the same score as BB SEAWEED because I honestly think that BB SEAWEED is superior in moisturizing.  Yes, Love Lettuce is a good everyday mask, but for deep moisturizing, I would choose BB SEAWEED over Love Lettuce.  

Overall - 

★ ★ ★ ★ ★  5/5

Another great mask from Lush, I'm giving it a 5/5 for overall even though I docked half a point for 'feel'.  Even though it doesn't give as much moisture in my opinion as BB SEAWEED, it still does a very good job and makes a great every day mask.  I will DEFINITELY repurchase this! I love the smell of this, the feel of this, AND it gives my skin moisture which I love.
