Bioré - Self-Heating 1 Minute Mask



I like this brand for their pore strips so I thought I'd give these a try.

The mask does get noticeably hot on application, but not scolding hot.

I was surprised by the smell, a clean (menthol), floral scent that is super nice!

The only downsides are the recommended cut line to open the packet makes a hole that really is too small for efficient application and the fact that you only keep it on for a minute does make is less relaxing.

I find it does leave my face clean and triggers some 'purging' (pimples).

Price: 5/5 (4 for $6.99)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

The Body Shop - Spa Fit - Firming & Toning Gel-Cream Massager
I got this because it had a citrus on it, I like citrus.
But is doesn't really smell of citrus, it is more of a menthol scent.

And this menthol comes into play later... I put this on my skin after a shower (it was a cool night) and within 5 minutes I felt like I was freezing! 


I guess it works as a toner by cooling the skin and causing it to tighten.
There is also some caffeine in it, which is meant to help tone skin.

The massager is quite stiff and I don't think I will use it much on myself, it is a bit too rough for my skin. 

I'm a delicate flower!

As far as a body moisturiser, it was ok but I prefer the body butters from this store.

Price: 2/5 (~$35?? for 200mL)
Scent: 3/5
Effectiveness: 2/5

The Body Shop - Peppermint Intensive Foot Rescue

This is sold for feet, but I used it all over XP


It smells like a sweet peppermint, such a delicious scent! I love it!

It does have a cooling effect, common for menthol-containing product.
I kind of regret using it in winter, but it was nothing a fluffy robe couldn't fix.

And I have the fluffiest of robes!

It is a rich body butter with a cute pink hue. 
It absorbs well and (as mentioned before) it smells amazing.

I liked it so much that I got some for sister unit 1 for her birthday (she loves peppermint)

Price: 2/5 ($18.95 for 100mL)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5
