As I write this, I have been back from Montreal two days and I am still struggling with the jet lag. I was up at 5:17am PST and could not fall back asleep so I went with the flow and just decided to get up. If I had been working, I would have stayed in bed as I am still feeling tired, but not tired enough to sleep as I just want to hit the ground running with catching up at both work and in the house! I made sure to do as many household tasks as I could before leaving so that we didn't come home to a messy apartment. We had a cat sitter come in once/day for the cats and she left everything really neat and clean so we were truly able to relax right when we got home.
While my masking slowed down quite a bit the last few weeks especially with being on vacation, the ones I seem to be enjoying the most are the Anua ones! This is a Kbeauty brand that is really having a moment in the North American community probably because of TikTok, but I wouldn't know since that is one platform I really don't want to get hooked on to as Instagram is addictive enough!
I have been using this mask quite a bit as I have been enjoying Anua's Niacinamide TXA collection in the form of toner pads and the serum itself so in mask form it has been extra fun as Anua's masks are extremely well made and so soft to wear.
The key ingredients in this mask are niacinamide (brightening), erythritol (humectant), tranexamic acid (signals cells to make less melanin) as well as multi-molecular weight hyaluronic acid and ceramides so your skin will be very hydrated as well!
Mask Summary:
Price: Currently on sale at Sephora for $20.40 CDN/Box of 10
What it does: Brightens and lightens dark spots
Scent: None
Essence Type: Pink in colour and very watery like to the point where even just taking out the mask flings essence all over your counter and sink!
Duration: 30 minutes
Thickness: Thin
Mask Fit: Really good!
Tackiness: It's pretty sticky so I tend to layer this with my overnight Skoah Hydradew mask because it has a matte finish.
Hydration: Good!
Final verdict: Though this mask leaves a fairly sticky finish, I like the glowing results, the ingredients and the quality of the mask. The tackiness is easily remedied with a non-sticky mask or a quick-absorbing moisturizer.
You can find the Anua Niacinamide TXA Serum Mask (K-Pop Demon Hunters Edition) at Sephora.com as well as Yesstyle.com.
