REVIEW: YesTo Tomatoes & YesTo Cucumbers Face Masks


Back for another review~ this time on these two YesTo masks. Both are purchased from Target (though I have noticed that depending on which Target I go to they'll either have only the YesTo Tomatoes one or neither...)

I've purchased the YesTo Tomatoes one before so when I got to go to Target this past week it was a moment of "OMG I need to see if it's in stock!!11!" Thankfully it was, AND the YesTo Cucumbers was there too so I figured I'd pick both of them up. So with that said, on to the review~

REVIEW: Clear Damage & Color Repair Deep Nourishing Treatment Mask

My first actual review~ it took me ages to write, not gonna lie. I was debating what hair product to actually review for this but I ended up choosing this baby here because I've repurchased it so many times now.

It is supposed to be a hair mask, but I use it as a conditioner whenever I shower so the review is going to be based on how I use it and how it works for me as such! Now to the review~


They say: Nourishes the scalp deeply and helps protect hair against damage with a dual-action formulation – a white stripe of nourishing treatment and a pink stripe infused with concentrated Nutrium 10™, a rich blend of vitamins and nutrients. Provides up to 95% more damage resistant hair in only 3 minutes.

My Experience: It is supposed to be a hair mask, and the first time I used it I used it as such, but after that I started using it as my every-shower conditioner. It comes out quite thick and for someone with less hair I'd say a little would go a long way, but seeing as I have a crap-ton of hair I can practically use the bottle dry in a few uses.

That being said I absolutely LOVE this conditioner. It's super rich and creamy and my hair feels amazingly soft when it's on, and after I rinse it out. I have extremely dry hair (thanks to both bleaching/dying my hair and the fact that it's naturally curly which makes it dry anyway) and this stuff really does help keep it conditioned and soft. Along with my curl cremes and the like, this is a staple in my hair regimen. 

Price: 
Target: $5 
Drugstore.com: $5.50
Amazon: $5
Ulta: $6

Pros: 
- Cheap
- Portable
- Rich and Creamy
- Super hydrating
- Can be used as a conditioner as well as mask

Cons: 
- Not a lot of product per bottle (if you use as conditioner)

Repurchase: 
Big fat yes. I've purchased this at least five times now since my first time buying it and I will definitely continue to buy it in the future. 

★★★ ★★
5/5 Because I absolutely love this product and I definitely recommend.

First Impressions: Maybelline's FitMe Foundation Shine-Free Foundation

FIT ME® SHINE-FREE FOUNDATION 110 Porcelain 
I bought Maybelline's new Fit Me foundation at Target the other day and have only been testing it for two days so no full review, just a first impression.

I do have to say that I bought this in about a shade too light by accident (apparently I have tanned a little, who knew?) so shade wise it's a little off, but that problem is easily fixed. 

They say: Fresh gel foundation blends to a flawless matte finish. Lightweight powders in the anti-shine core instantly dissolve excess oil.

What I think after two days of use: It's not bad, but I do have some things I don't like. First, the foundation itself is a light - medium coverage (although buildable without getting cakey), and glides on nicely. I used my Sigma F80 the first time to blend it out, and then the next day I used my Real Techniques foundation brush (the one in the Core Collection), and both work quite well to blend out without losing product and having to put more on. What I found that I don't like is that although it's not cakey, it does like to stick to tiny dry patches on my skin (usually where blemishes were) and sits on the dry skin and won't blend out. The other thing I've found is that it doesn't seem to live up to it's shine-free name without me having put any shine powder on afterwards. Maybe this is a fault of my own, but unless I put powder on, in a couple of hours (less time than if I were to use powder or even a different foundation), my entire face is shiny! And I don't even have that oily of skin! I've heard really good reviews online from people saying that their skin was shine-free all day, and for me, the was so not the case. I obviously have to try it for a few more days, and actually wear it out (WaWa doesn't count), but my first impression isn't all that great.

★★★☆ ☆
Three out of Five stars for first impressions, hopefully that get's better but who knows.
