Etude House BeBe foot mask

Summer is just around the corner and I felt like my feet need a little bit of pampering. So what is better than Korean foot masks?

I haven't read any reviews and I ordered one with the reasonable price. I chose Etude House BeBe foot mask. I placed my order at jolse.com, like I usually do with Korean make up. 

BeBe foot mask is supposed to be an easy and comfortable foot care sheet that makes sleek and clean feet with the effect of removing keratin, relaxing the foot by wearing the mask. 

Here are the instructions for the use:

1. Slip on sheets (each sheet is double layered)

2. Cut along enclosed pouch's dotted line and pour contents into foot sheet

3. Wait 1 -1,5 hour after wearing sheet for solution to absorb into skin

4. After a certain amount of time, take sheet off, wash off remaining solution and dry feet thoroughly

5. After 5-6 days, the dead skin cells will naturally peel off, do not peel with hands

6. Wait 2 weeks until dead skin cells completely peel off for smooth and clean feet

So basically put feet into the pouch with liquid in it and then wait. I was surprised that liquid was indeed liquid, it was just like water. I had in mind that my feet will be in some sort of lotion, but no. So I couldn’t lay down, because I tought that the liquid will come out, so I was sitting, being really uncomfortable for one and a half hour. 

And then you have to wait. And then one day, approximately 5 days after the application, the peeling started. It was brutal, whole flakes of skin started to come off and I was thrilled. To some it might look gross, but not to me. In about one week the whole process concluded its course and my feet were ready for summer. First the skin pilled of where it wasn't dry. Where my skin was dry and dead it peeled off at last, and I feel that there the removal could be better. You can see the difference, but the final result is not perfect. I wish I could apply the liquid just where my dry skin is. 

Before                                                                        After

I hope you are not grossed out by the photos of my feet, but I think that the results are the best shown with photos. All in all it was a fun experience that I would repeat.

Just one advice, do not try this in the summer when feet are exposed, because the look of the peeling skin on the feet is not something I would wish for others to see.

Have a great day :)

I don't know if I mentioned this already, but I love Harry Potter. So of course I'm going to read all the other works of J. K. Rowling. Robert Galbraith is pseudonym of J. K. Rowling and book The Cuckoo's Calling is the first of the detective Cormoran Strike series. So a crime genre, which you already know I like.

When a troubled model falls to her death from a snow-covered Mayfair balcony, it is assumed that she has committed suicide. However, her brother has his doubts, and calls in private investigator Cormoran Strike to look into the case. A war veteran, wounded both physically and psychologically, Strike's life is in disarray. The case gives him a financial lifeline, but it comes at a personal cost: the more he delves into the young model's complex world, the darker things get - and the closer he gets to terrible danger.

The nail polish is from Bourjois, from an old line 10 days no chip. And it lasted whole 3 days without chipping, which is a miracle for me. But I have to say that in that period I wasn't very active in the housework department, so this could be a reason. The nail polish has a strange brush that is cut sideways, but I actually like it. The colour is coral with tiny golden shimmer. The polish doesn't have a name, just a number, and this one is number 16.

Have a great day!

What I'm reading + NOTD pt. 58

Laura Chase's older sister Iris, married at eighteen to a politically prominent industrialist but now poor and eighty-two, is living in Port Ticonderoga, a town dominated by their once-prosperous family before the First War. While coping with her unreliable body, Iris reflects on her far from exemplary life, in particular the events surrounding her sister's tragic death. Chief among these was the publication of The Blind Assassin, a novel which earned the dead Laura Chase not only notoriety but also a devoted cult following. Sexually explicit for its time, The Blind Assassin describes a risky affair in the turbulent thirties between a wealthy young woman and a man on the run. During their secret meetings in rented rooms, the lovers concoct a pulp fantasy set on Planet Zycron. As the invented story twists through love and sacrifice and betrayal, so does the real one; while events in both move closer to war and catastrophe. 

The Blind Assassin is a richly layered and uniquely rewarding experience. The novel has many threads and a series of events that follow one another at a breathtaking pace. As everything comes together, readers will discover that the story Atwood is telling is not only what it seems to be--but, in fact, much more.

The nail polish is from essence’s old line colour & go with the name Lime up! and in fact, the colour is lime green. I would say this colour is not classified as pretty, but it's a fun colour and in my mind it reminds me of freshly grown leaves, so perfect for spring.

Have a great day!
