Scent:
Kinda apple-y
Price:
$21/0.5oz $76/1.7oz CAD (I got a sample at Sephora)
Where
to buy: Sephora in Canada
Time:
5-10 minutes (I went for the ten)
How
did it feel on?
It went on smooth
and it was tingly in a not-unpleasant but not quite pleasant way, the
best way to describe it would be a bit stingy or sting-ly (stingy and
tingly). It dried leaving the face with that elmers glue, tight kinda
feeling that we all know and love.
On to the review...
 |
| The mask is light and dries kind of clear |
I have been
incredibly sick lately and my skin is reflecting it, I am currently
battling a case of bronchitis so bad that it's threatening to develop
into pneumonia, and that the coughing has been so bad I actually
pulled a muscle in my neck as I found out in a fun ER visit the other
day. Like I said my skin is definitely showing how sick I am and
it's not pleasant (pardon the pictures in this post if they frighten
you hehe). So I decided this was the perfect opportunity to test out
and review a sample I had of the GLAMGLOW powermud mask which is the
one that comes in the green bin.
First off I have to
say I didn't believe the hype about these masks, I mean really $76
for a mask? But I think I am kinda sold on this one. As the mask
dried I noticed there were dark spots appearing all over my face
where I had blackheads or other acne going on, at first I just
figured this was the mask being a bit thicker in spots and drying
into little balls but when I rinsed I decided otherwise, it actually
pulled all of the blackheads from my skin.

| The mask was actually pulling out the impurities... badass. |
The mask says it is
mud to oil but in my experience it was more like mud to gone, there
was no real transition into oil but maybe I rinsed with too much
water, who knows? It's not really a complaint so much as an
observation. My face did feel a little residue-y afterwards and I
just washed it with my regular cleanser and then when my face was dry
I finally looked closely, not a single blackhead to be found and my
skin is smoother and more even than it has been in weeks. I still
have some acne, which obviously one use of a mask isn't going to fix
but even that is less inflamed and somewhat diminished.

| The after effects, I'm wearing a top I swear |
All in all it is
probably one of the best masks I have tried, and I have tried a few.
I have samples of some of the other GLAMGLOW masks and I am going to
try them in the upcoming weeks, probably once a week, and let you
know my experiences with them. And at the end I will compare the ones
I have tried.
I hope this review
was informative and helpful. Will I buy it? Maybe? Not the fullsize
no, I just can't see myself paying that much all at once for a mask.
But Sephora does carry a 0.5oz of this particular mask for $21 CAD
which is much more manageable as a treat to myself.
See you next time!
