Both items were nicely bubble-wrapped which I thought was rather thoughtful of them to do so.

$13 (U.P $28)

Upon application, I felt slight warming and tingling sensation. I have checked with the owner of Zamainbeauty and she advised that the warm and tingling sensation is normal but not everyone experiences that.

I was kind of disappointed with the product when I tried it out for the first time because I thought that it would be a peel-off mask. Blame that on me for not reading or checking about the product on the website (apparently, the packaging is all in Korean you see). In fact, after my 1st trial, I left this product on my vanity and kind of forgotten about it until a week later when I decided to give it one more chance. I don't know about you girls but my skin normally react to new products only after using it for a few times. This is also one of the reason why I usually test products at least for 2 weeks before coming to a conclusion about it.

I have been wearing makeup almost everyday lately due to family outings, meetup with friends and ex-colleagues as well as attending events. I don't know, but when I put makeup on a regularly basis, I make sure that I pay twice the attention to my skincare regimen compared to when I don't put makeup regularly. I really hate the blackheads on my nose and those whiteheads on my chin. Instead of using Kose Mask White which I normally do to remove blackheads and whiteheads, I used Zamian Cacao Pack on every alternate day for the whole of this week. And I realised that my face feels smoother, looks brighter and that the blackheads and whiteheads are significantly reduced.

My only gripe about this product is that I still don't really like the warm tingling sensation that I feel each time I use this pack. Otherwise, this would be a great product.
