As you guys know or guess – I am a sucker for korean skincare. Couple of days ago the first physical shop of The Little Wonderland opened its doors in Utrecht, and of course I had to drive to have a look at it and posted stories on my insta, hello ladies, who’ve seen it! :) Anyways, so it’s the first physical shop that they opened in Netherlands, it is nice and relatively big with a nice variety of products that you can come and test there – all the structures, all the creams, serums, cleansers and spf – paradise for a skincare junkie 😅 In the end we got little goodie bags, so the most impressive item there was a sample of mugwort’s mask, which of course I had to test on me and my hubby. Cats stayed out of it for some unknown cat business 🤔 I am already familiar with I’m from, and with the Mugwort line, I have their essence and will write a review sooner or later :) So this mask contains as understood – mugwort from Ganghwa island. The structure is gel like and the active ingredients of the plant extracts are not only cleaning and calming skin but also serve as a bit of a peeling when you wash it off. So, what the hell is mugwort? 🧚🏼‍♀️ it’s a great ingredient known in korean medicine, I mean, how many people knew about centella asiatica benefits before South Korean brought it to us? The same with mugwort – I don’t want to talk on behalf of everyone – but myself, never seen mugwort in skincare before. It soothers and heals the skin and has antibacterial properties. It is very user friendly for anyone with sensitive skin. Also we have greet tea with basically the same properties and scutellaria baicalensis – herbal medicine from China – has anti fungal properties, so all your in skin comedones, long lasting painful pimples wave them goodbye 🙋‍♀️ and has skinbrightening effect in the long run. Basically the mask is packed with the goodies and the price of 110 grams is about 28-30 euro. I think on sale you can get it cheaper and I’d say it’s totally worth the money!

This famous mask was on my wishlist already for some time. Glad that I got my hands on it finally. It has a somewhat watery structure, not like other clay (thicker) masks. Still, it is very easy to put on (I use a silicone brush from aliexpress or bol). Now, you have to take off clay masks before! they completely dry out, but they tend to dry very quickly, so what I do is take thermal water or rose water and spray my face - to keep it moist and hydrated to prevent quick drying - thus also clay works in my skin a bit longer and cleans it inside out. The mask has a lot of goodies in the ingredient list and after washing it off, it leaves the face purified, shinier, calmer, lighter (the pores are indeed nicely cleaned), and a bit glowy. I do always use serum+ moisturiser after, but all in all, after washing it off, it does not leave the skin squicky or tense from dryness.

Late discovery of the year is Mung Bean wash off mask. We didn't get off to a good start, because I tend to overuse masks - i leave them on longer than prescribed, because i sit down, start reading something and forget completely. This one I waited with twice longer than needed at my first try and brought some irritation on my forehead. I never experienced it before with masks, so be careful. Buuut, the structure is great, the smell is just to die for - i LOVE mung beans in mochi, bubble tea etc., and after a proper usage the skin feels so much better than before. Highly recommend, and really wanna try others from this brand. This is my first product from this brand, btw.   You can purchase it here and use my codes, I would be very grateful!
