Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque

It's a good Friday night here in Manila and I really need to unwind, when stress gets in the way I always reach out to Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque

For some reason, the minty toothpaste scent and tingling sensation calms me down even for just a bit before I get my slumber.

This costs Php329.00 at Healthy Options which is pretty cheap for a mask considering disposable masks costs Php50 a piece when this would last you a long time.

The texture is quite soft and watery, I can easily spread this on my face and it's not sticky at all.

My skin can breathe easily and I don't have allergies with this one, yey! ^.^

On my skin, the mint julep masque does dry up my small zits faster, but actually I don't have a lot of zits now coz I've been using a lot of anti-acne products ^.^

I feel that I would quickly grab this when I get a big zit because the cool tingling sensation eases the pain. The mint julep masque dries to a hard finish but it can be easily rinsed away with water; after patting my face dry, the green mask never fails to make my skin ultra-soft like a new born baby's skin- but of course the effect is only temporary but hey! It's always nice to touch your skin feeling so soft and smooth.

This is the classic 'green mask face' I used to imagine when I was a kid haha! 

On the contrary, this is a lot nicer and lighter on the skin ^.^ 

Weekend Haul

Here's my small haul over the weekend to de-stress and enjoy life! ^.^

MAC Select Moisture Cover Concealer in NW20 for Php950- love the coverage compared to Shu Uemura concealers! I thought MAC concealers aren't that good but I'm glad I gave it a try before judging it too early.

Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque- at last! The ever elusive green facial mask has been re-stocked

I bought this at Healthy Options for Php329.00, boy oh boy I love how it makes my skin supple and my acne dries up faster! 

A dainty floral dress from Zara

I spotted this from Rockwell but I refrained from buying it because the stocks are a bit worn out

Then I saw this again at the Mall of Asia, they carry relatively a larger volume of the dress and most are not 'abused' yet so I quickly grabbed one! ^.^

You can find cute floral summer dresses at TRF or Trafaluc for Php2,490

I was also eyeing Kamiseta's Liberty of London dresses but I found it exorbitantly priced at Php2,990 so I opted to get Zara.

Mall of Asia was having a bit of a sale, Mango and other giant clothing brands were having their sale but Zara didn't participate, that's okay, I don't want to wait for the sale, if I wait for a couple of months the dress might have been out of stock.

The last leg of this shopping is a purple bandeau from Calliope

Calliope is on sale so I went in their store not knowing what to get, I was just planning to window shop but I thought I found a good bargain, this is originally priced at Php299 but I got it for Php199. Bandeaus from Kamiseta and Karimadon costs almost the same price too!
