Who's ready for the announcement of #sakurafacemask contest?
We are SOOO ready to announce it now. However, before we announce it, let's recall what this contest is.
Last month, we announced the #sakurafacemask contest where we asked our community to take a selfie while using Japanese art sakura face mask from our May box. That mask is one of the amazing face mask our team ever tried because it's known for anti-aging and skin revitalization properties which will make you feel supple and youthful especially with the added real sakura essence. 🌸
Do you remember the contest now? If so, let's congratulate the winners below!!
