CNP Laboratory Propolis Energy Ampule Review

Sunday, August 14, 2016

I wanted to give an update on my lazy three-step skincare routine I've been adhering to lately. It's been cleanse, the CNP Laboratory Propolis Energy Ampule, and a sheet mask (which I often find crumpled up and dry at the foot of my bed in the mornings). I've been finding that although my routine has been quite abbreviated, my skin's been holding up well due to a combination between these products, and the fact that there's still a lot of heat and humidity around these parts.

So what is the CNP Laboratory Propolis Energy Ampule? And how's it singlehandedly standing up my routine right now? We'll get into that.

Etude House 0.2 MM Air Therapy Sheet Mask Buying Guide | The Sheet Mask That's Sold Out in Korea Right Now

Saturday, August 6, 2016

I know I haven't been updating as often as I used to, but rest assured my face has been busy testing out the many flavors of the NEW Etude House 0.2 mm Air Therapy Sheet Masks. These are the brand's new flagship masks as they've eliminated (as tears roll down my face) their previous line called the I Need You masks.

But this is not a tragic tale. Even though the I Need You masks were fairly basic cotton masks that delivered their pretty good results for pretty good prices, they could stand for some improvement. Around 1-2 months ago, I stumbled upon some articles in the Korean press that seemed to imply that Etude House delivered on improving these masks with the new line I mentioned above. The articles stated that the masks had been selling out in stores [1][2], and when I logged onto Korean online global marketplace G-Market to pick up my own set, I was notified that the seller was experiencing significant delays in sourcing their inventory. So - I turned to my trusty Korean shopping service KoreanBuddy.com and Chris (and team?) were able to go in-store and pick up as many masks as was possible for me. I snagged 11 of the 15 available mask types.

So I'm going to quickly review the updated masks, and then go into a 'buying guide' of sorts which will list out the traits of each mask (by benefit) including the ingredients list, scent, etc.

Andale!
