DDF Advanced Moisture Defense UV Cream

Hmm, well... I got this from Sephora as a free sample of the product. When I first got it I noticed it said Doctors Dermatologic Formula. It looks so serious O_O" 

It has SPF 15 and works against UVA and UVB rays. This is good because some sunscreens only protect against one. (Usually UVA)





It claims to Do the things listed to the side in the picture here:

So I also saw on the box that its recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation.
On the back it says:
Active Ingredients
Avobenzone 2%.............Sunscreen
Ensulizone 1%.............Sunscreen
Octisalate 4%..............Sunscreen
Octocrylene 1.25%..........Sunscreen

These confused me and I have never heard of them before, but... okay.?
When I squeezed some out I noticed it was a pale orange color. I instantly thought OMG, turmeric. I searched the box & I found it xD Turmeric has lots of antioxidants which are really good for your skin.(Michelle Phan taught me so it MUST be true!) I think it also helps lighten your skin too x3
I DONT LIKE THE SMELL OF THIS THOUGH.
Its not floral or anything.... Its plain and YUCK.... I'd rather it not have a scent at all.
D;
Its not sticky and gets soaked in pretty quickly. It also doesnt make your face look orange; dont worry :3

Purederm: Skin Recovery Raspberry Collagen Mask

 As you can see, this looks alot like the SkinLite brand. Thats because they ARE the same brand xD
So, this was my first sheet mask ever and I was pretty confused. I know these are good because they let the nutrients soak in, but I wasnt impressed.

What it looks like when you take it out of the package:



Folded out:



This mask gave a cooling effect. I also didnt like how it smelled (like grape medicine: BLEH) After I left it on for 20 minutes, my skin looked the same and I felt the same D: (I looked really scary with it on xD) but my skin felt slightly softer. Also, the stuff that it was soaked in... there was quite a bit left on my face after removing. I didn't wash it off xD i let it soak in. This morning, I got a new pimple -.-" thanks sheet mask.

Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream

Kayy,  the BB cream review... Heres a pic. BB cream stands for Blemish Balm cream. Its like a foundation & skincare product in one. I got in NO.23  apparently, this BB Cream has SPF 42 PA +++ (wtfff?) xD Im not sure what PA +++ stands for, but okay. This BB cream does have a smell.. It almost made me throw up :) But I got used to it. It smells like, old asian ladies that have skin care products on. Which would make sense.
It has a light coverage (still have to use concealer to cover dark circles), evens out your skin tone, and smells like old ladies. Just kidding(even though it does) It doesnt feel heavy or cakey. Its like your own skin... With a thin layer of stuff on it.
The bottle is a pump one. You would think its a tube wouldnt you? but its a pump. (I had issues with that pump when I first got it...) cough... I probably wouldnt buy this again only because I dont use it very often... Unless somewhere in high school I start to use it alot. Its the only foundation thing I have. Overall, Im happy with this... except the smell... OH! if you want a swatch, itll be in the video Collective Haul and Updates by twinstars97 on youtube :p if you havent watched that yet.

Freeman Superfruits Revealing Peel-Off Mask

:o WHAT?!?! MochiDinosaur is back?!? and Blogging at midnight? >:o lol yes.
Went shopping today(or would that now be yesterday), post on that maybe... didnt buy much. but my new obsession >:3 . . . will be revealed pretty soon. 
~I wasnt going to buy this at first... But I did anyway.
ANYWAYS... =_= (sorry for ugly pic.) this mask seems like a pretty good product from the description on thw back :0 "...Most powerful superfruits; Goji, Acai, Pomegranate, Mango, Mangosteen, Cranberry, Noni, and Blueberry to help purify, detoxify, and soothe stressed skikn." Lots of fruits...  Also says "Fortifies and guards again free radicals and environmental stress." (UGH THERES A NAT IN MY ROOM)

This mask works well to remove blackheads. The only thing i dislike abou this product is that its messy T^T Its really thick and gets all over the cap which will dry up and get stuck -.- Peeling it off doesnt come off in one piece... Thatd be amazing if it did. I find that I get my best results using this after a shower, when your pores are open.



Directions: Apply mask to face and neck (wth?!?!), avoiding contact with eyes. Leave on 5-10 minutes or until dry and gently peel off. Rinse with warm water.

Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque

HAI THERE lovelies!
Again, a must-have product :) On the package it says it will tighten your pores and clear up acne. Its bright green & super thick (Its a clay mask). Been using this for awhile.. Gotta keep it on for 20 minutes which is pretty long for me but its worth it. I honestly dont like the smell of this. Because I cant handle the smell of clay very well. (I have my issues)
Will I buy this again? Fosho ;D
