Hello everyone! I recently made a purchase from bonjourhk.com and received it a couple of days ago. I bought a few products I have been eyeing for a while that I have been hearing a lot of good things about! I have been fascinated and intrigued with Asian skincare lately, I have more products on the way and hopefully I get some more goodies on my birthday.. *crosses fingers*
Holika Holika
Holika Holika is a Korea cosmetics and skincare brand. Cast the spell to turn beautiful! Their theme is magic, the logo has a witch on a broom. Some of their products that I have seen also have a black cat and an owl logo.
Super cute carton, made from recycled paper!
Don't be fooled, these are not real eggs but handmade facial soap. From my research, it says that it is used to "tighten pores and makes skin sleek." I totally agree with that. There is a tightening feeling that lasts for some time, and it also is supposed to help reduce blemishes and keep acne away!
There are four "flavors" in the egg soap line. The original white one (the one I have), is egg flavored. lol! The black one is black charcoal, the yellow is yellow volcanic mud/clay and the green one is green tea flavored.
White - Tightens pores and makes skin sleek
Green - Controls excessive sebum and moisturizes
Yellow - Cleans out dirt in pores
Black - Suitable for sensitive skin and removes blackheads
FYI: You can also use these as a face mask, leave it on for about 5 minutes then wash off. (As it dries you will feel a tightening effect.)
This is what the store looks like. People are introduced to a dream-like style of decoration giving them a feeling full of magic. I would love to have the opportunity to walk into this store. I think the whole concept of Holika Holika is amazing! Oh how I wish!

How to use it:
Put the mask on cleansed and toned face. Leave on for 20-30 minutes and peel off. Gently massage the remaining serum for better absorption. No rinsing is necessary. Follow with usual skin care products.
I also got lucky and was able to get a box of the limited edition Chocolate Truffle sheet masks.
All in all: These sheet masks are an amazing pick me up for when you've had a stressful day and are also perfect to use before going out. I have also noticed that they don't only enhance your all around appearance but also mood.
** Out of the two that I have tried, I would have to say that the mixed berries is my favorite. After using it just once, I felt refreshed physically and mentally. It was an amazing feeling!
