Acure Organics Cell Stimulating Facial Mask Review

Cell Stimulating Facial Mask + Me as Elphaba

I decided to give the Acure Organics Cell Stimulating Facial Mask* a try, in light of the several positive reviews I had read. The main ingredient that drew my attention was french green clay. It is know to absorb oil and impurities from the skin and even tighten pores. According to Acure Organics the mask repairs the skin cells and revitalizes the complexion.

The consistency is pasty, thick (not runny), and easy to spread. It smells like spearmint, and feels refreshing on the skin as soon as I apply it. It dries very quickly, and it should be kept on the face for about 10-15 minutes. I sometimes keep it on a little longer, but it does not cause any discomfort. It requires a little bit of effort in taking it off, because it is supposed to be rinsed off like a cleanser. Therefore, I massage it into my skin very well, and rinse my face until it is completely gone. I like to use this mask one or two times a week, in the morning, in the place of my cleanser.

Ingredients: Organic euterpe oleracea (acai) berry, organic rubus fruticosus (blackberry), organic rosa canina (rosehips), organic punica granatum (pomegranate), organic fair trade certified rooibos, organic aloe barbadensis vera leaf, french green clay, vegetable glycerin, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate (from coconut + amino acids), vegetable cellulose gum, sodium cocoyl isethionate (from coconut), chlorophyll, organic chlorella pyrenoidosa extract (chlorella growth factor), glucono delta lactone (sugar enzyme), fair trade certified organic theobroma cacao (cocoa) butter, carrageenan (algae), hippophae rhamnoides (sea buckthorn) seed oil, ubiquinone (CoQ10), spinosa (argan) stem cell, potassium sorbate (food grade preservative), organic argania spinosa (argan) oil, and sage and spearmint essential oil blend.

Even though I am not a mask junkie, I do enjoy this refreshing treatment once or twice a week. My skin looks and feels particularly clean and refreshed every time I use it. I think that it would work on any skin type, and it is also claims to be:

• Vegan
• Sulfate free
• Cruelty free
• Paraben free
• Gluten free
• PEG free
• Petroleum free
• Phthalate free
• Silicone free

I recommend you try it if you are looking for a mask to deep cleanse your face. And you will definitely want it if you enjoy minty scents! As usual, Acure Organics has provided another great product filled with the purest ingredients, at an affordable price.

Review: Watsons Moisturising Facial Mask with Cucumber Extract

Review: Watsons Moisturising Facial Mask with Cucumber Extract

Hello lovelies, how are you?

It's been raining for almost a week here but thank God, the sun finally came out today. This week is supposedly my exam week so I've been studying non-stop but since the weather is very bad, my university decided to move it until next week. The rain and the studying pretty much kept me up all night which led to huge eyebags and bad skin>.< so I decided to use Watsons Moisturising Facial Mask with Cucumber extract that I bought at the start of the week.

As written on the back of the mask, "This specially formulated mask contains cucumber extract and natural collagen nutrients to tighten your skin and improve skin elasticity. Leaves your skin firmer and more supple"

The smell of this facial mask is very refreshing, it's not overwhelming. Just enough to calm your nerves and make you relax. It also has a lot of essence but it doesn't drip which is a plus point for me! After about 30 minutes on my face, it still has a lot that I used it for my neck and my hands. I massaged it and let my skin absorb the essence. It had an instant effect. It made my skin smoother and softer like a baby's skin hehehe ^o^ which made me really happy oh and it smells divine <3 Also I can feel that my face is a bit firmer than before. I am definitely in love with this mask. 

The only bad thing with this mask is after about 10 minutes of absorption into my skin. I notice a bit of itchiness and rashes on my chin and neck but after about 15 minutes, it was gone. I'll give this mask another try and see if the rashes came back, if it did I'm gonna stop using this. 

Overall Rating: 4/5 (-1 since it gave me itchiness and rashes but that's just me)

Repurchase: Maybe. I bought two sheets so I'm gonna try that one again. If there's no rashes then Yes definitely, a repurchase is in line but if it still appears then bye bye .

Have you tried this product? Did you have itchiness and rashes too or does it work well for you?

See you soon~
