Today I'll be reviewing the Elizavecca Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask! I received this product from Memebox, which is an awesome website where you can buy Korean beauty products. I mentioned it in this post, where I also hauled this product along with several other goodies from Memebox! I also did a first impressions on this product (which is at the end of this post!) , so don't forget to check out that video and subscribe to my channel, The Beauty Breakdown! 

So let's get to the breakdown...

Packaging

This product comes nicely packaged in a plastic tub and also comes with a handy spatula. It also comes with a plastic lid inside to protect the mask from being exposed to the air. I'll explain this later, but don't throw this away! You need to keep it on there while you have the product! 

Directions
How this product works is you use the little spatula is comes with to smooth the product onto your skin. You then leave it on for 5 minutes while it works its magic and then wash it off!

Benefits
This product is supposed to "deep-clean" your pores. Since it's carbonated and bubbly, it works itself deep into your skin to clean out impurities like excess sebum, dirt, oil and makeup! It's meant to work well on blackheads. This is supposed to be gentle on your skin and used weekly!

Texture
Omg, this product is so weird! It's a jelly-like texture and is an almost gross grey color! Ah, I was kind of scared to put this on my face!

Process
When you initially apply this to your skin, work quick! You want to just get a glob from the tub with the spatula and quickly replace the plastic lid inside. This is because this product activates with oxygen exposure! So you want to be careful not to expose your entire tub or it will be ruined :(

Anyways, I used the spatula to smooth it onto my skin. It almost immediately starts bubbling! As you can see from the first picture, after one minute, the bubbles are already activating! You can actually hear the bubbles as the grow and one thing I was not expecting was the tickling/itchy sensation! This is not a bad thing because it's really from the bubbles. They move very slightly because they are growing and activating, and since it's so subtle, you can feel it! I found this very ticklish (as you can see in the video) but don't worry, it only last for about a minute!

After 3 minutes, you can see there are more bubbles! I was having a lot of fun with this mask clearly! haha.

 Finally, this is what it looked like after 5 minutes. There are lots of bubbles! One tip though if you decide to get this product is be careful not to put it to close to your eyes/hair/nose/etc. because it does expand! You don't want any bubbles in your eyes do you? haha.

 Next, if you want to make the mask more effective, once the bubbles have all expanding, massage the mask into your skin! This was a fun process for me because you get to pop all the bubbles and massage your skin. The mask is nice and smooth so this feels really nice!

 Once it's all popped and massaged in, it just looks like your typical clay mask!

And you reveal...dun dun dun!

Results
Amazing skin! My skin felt so clean and smooth after using this mask! It didn't feel overly tight or dry but it just felt so nice and smooth! OMG I'm in love.

 I couldn't even believe how nice this made my skin! I couldn't stop touching my face.

 Overall
I'm in love with this mask. It's fun to use and even better, it makes my skin look and feel SO nice! In LOVE :)

My Mini Korean Beauty Haul From Memebox

Hey everyone! Today, I'm writing about a recent mini haul I received from Memebox. I can't wait to try these products out and review them for you guys! I tried to pick out products that I'd never tried before and that seemed unique to me.

But first....

I wanted to let you guys know my experience with Memebox. First of all, their customer service is FANTASTIC! They're very quick with their responses and truly seem to care about their customers. They're prices are fairly reasonable considering they have an office based out of the United States and right now, you can get free shipping for orders over $30! That's totally worth it in my opinion! On top of all that, they have a nice selection of products, as well as a lot of collaborations with fellow Korean Beauty Bloggers.

Ok now onto the breakdown of my haul :) 

I first picked out the Etude House Precious Mineral Any Cushion in Honey Beige W24. This is the first cushion foundation/bb cream I've ever used! When I went to Korea last summer, I didn't buy a cushion foundation because all of the sales associates said my skin was too dark :( haha. But now that I'm a little lighter and with a little bit of bronzer, I think I can pull this off. This one, in particular, is supposed to be really nice! I've heard tons of great comments about it. Plus, I've tried it a couple times and so far, I really like it and it matches my skin pretty nicely! Review anyone? ;)

I've also never tried a CC cream from Korea. So I decided to try the Etude House Moistfull Super Collagen CC Cream. I've tried this one out a couple times as well and LOVE this! It matches my skin nicely and really doesn't look like I'm wearing foundation. It just looks like my skin is really healthy and flawless, which is what I think everyone wants, right?!

Next onto some skincare items I picked out. I got the Too Cool For School Egg Mousse Pack. Eggs, in general, are supposed to improve the elasticity of your skin and make your skin look and feel radiant. I've yet to try a mousse pack like this (or something from Too Cool For School for that matter!) and am curious to see how this works...

Finally, I picked out the Elizavecca Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask! This is a brand I've never heard of so we'll see how this product is. I've also never tried a carbonated bubble clay mask. We'll see if this is actually different than using a normal clay mask, which I tend to like!

Wow, now that I'm writing this, I'm realizing there are a ton of firsts in this haul. Let me know if you've ever tried any of these products, what your experience was like, and if you want a review on any of them! Thanks for reading :) Don't forget to check out my channel, The Beauty Breakdown, where I talk about Korean beauty triends, products, etc!
