First Impressions: Skinfood's Strawberry Black Sugar Mask Wash-off and Argan Oil Silk Hair Mask Pack

Hi everyone! Today we willl be taking a look at a couple of free samples snagged from Skinfood Glorietta's sale last week - one of which I am keen on purchasing, of course only if the price is right, and the other I will never spend money on. Let's have a look shall we?

We begin with the Strawberry Black Sugar Mask Wash-Off. Upon opening of the packet, you'll be greeted by a very heavenly strawberry scent, which can make you both feeling giddy and weird at the same time, because the mask smells so good and you might be tempted to eat it.

It is a rinse-off mask which, according to the instructions at the back, should be left for a good 10 minutes after scrubbing the grainy sweet concoction on the face. While the 10 minutes of waiting is quite all right because of the pack's good smells, the scrubbing isn't, specifically because the sugar granules might cause very small, uncontrolled deep cuts (you can't see them) on the face.

This product cannot be really recommended for the face, but it might work well for the body. But it your wallet might mind the price of using a facial product for your body, especially if there are a lot of cheap alternatives.

Next up is the Agran Oil Silk Hair Mask Pack. The hair mask, or hair treatment, has very good consistency - it is easy to spread onto your hair but it's not very runny that the treatment might trickle down while you're on the 5 minute wait prior to rinsing.

It has a slight nutty scent which is not overbearing and goes away in a few minutes. As for the result, you can get a very silky soft finish, which is expected, but it leads by miles when compared to the local hair treatment sold in the Philippine's supermarkets.

Are there Korean samples you have tried today? Feel free to leave your experiences below.
