I forgot to take a photo of how to mix the mask. But it's ok :) I'll probably pick up more of these masks!!! *ahh~ now you know there's gona be a good review on this product*
Review:
Now, although the SA told me it's good for 1 use, I would say that it is crazy for anyone to finish up the whole pack of mask at one go! From my experience, I would say this is good for 4 applications! I mixed all of the powder with the MD water, used it on my bf's face, on my face, and still had half a bottle left! So I screwed the bottle tight and kept the rest for the review. And even then, I had to really pile on the mask so that I can finish using it.
What I would recommend is to actually use a mixing bowl. Pour 1/4 of the water out, mix it with 1/4 of the powder. Keep the rest for later use. DO NOT mix the whole pack at one go! Unless you're gona have a slumber party with the girls haha...
Here's me with my mask on... *hello!* it is still wet...
Leave it on for 15 minutes...
Beware of the mask flaking!! You will start to see cracks forming when it's dried.
Not sure if this is an allergic reaction caused by the mask??? But there's a red spot on my upper lip. Try to avoid applying near the lips and eyes.
Wash with warm water after waiting for 15 minutes. And check it out!! My clogged pores are brought to the surface :D this stuff works!!
One of my old, dried up pimple peeled off upon washing the mask!
Pros:- Works great as a purifying mask!
- Affordable
- Has no fragrance :)
- Easy to rinse off
- Slightly drying as with all clay masks (even though this was a moisturizing version)
- Troublesome to mix
- Messy when it starts to flake
- Slight tingling sensation upon application (might be that it's working???)
- Lots of wastage if you mix it in the bottle (see pic below)
Final verdict:Repurchase: Yes!
But I will try to mix the mask in a mixing bowl :)
And here's a swatch of the lippie as requested by Sindy:
A pretty beige :D This was really moisturizing even without a lipbalm! When I first got it, I was disappointed that it had a coffee scent to it :( but upon application, the scent wears off pretty quickly! Must get more of these!!! :D Maybe tomorrow hahaha!
I've never really tried clay masks but this looks promising! thank you for the review =)
ReplyDeleteI have a disgusting habit of squeezing out old pimples hehehe oohhhh how much fun I'd have with this product XD
ReplyDeleteI'm not a big MAC fan either...in fact, I was going to skip this collection completely but I mentioned in passing to my friend that I thought 'Hold my Gaze' was an interesting colour so she went ahead and bought it without my knowing lol. It's a nice smokey-eye palette but I think if I had to do it again, I would have gotten something else. You wouldn't believe how hard it is for me to find a NYX retailer!!! It's almost ridiculous, and NYX over here isn't actually as cheap either :(
Thank u Pris for the review~ =D That mask is really cheap!! Makes me wanna go and get some. But..i don't understand one thing when you mentioned "My clogged pores are brought to the surface". Does it mean like those blackheads or pimples will show after applying this mask? Is that a good or bad thing? I am so noob in this kinda stuff. I always thought that a good mask should be one that makes my face bright and clear after application. Can you tell me? Btw, have you gone to missha yet? Oh ya, that lippy with coffee scent? I am so lemming it coz i love love love coffee!!
ReplyDeleteJessy! I found missha today. You're right, the products look really boring! :( well, that's a good thing. Money saved. HAHA
ReplyDeleteWish we could find this mask in the States!
