Advantages: Low price + large tube + gorgeous mint scent + really works! Disadvantages: Sulfur smell - flip-top would be better - possibly update the design
I love mint...mmm it's got such a gorgeous smell! I also love how they use the word "masque" rather than "mask"; there's nothing fancy about this item, though ;)
PACKAGING
This mask comes in both tube form and tub form. I, personally, prefer the tube and am not such a fan of the tub. I think it's just because the tubes are easier to carry around, for example, if staying overnight somewhere, and so on. The tub is more economical, though, it has ... ...plastic - the plastic that you can squeeze easily, exactly like the E45 tubes of cream. To me, the design is retro - it doesn't look modern, rather it looks like a classic oldie. It sports white and green gradient background with a deep green plastic lid. The lid is of the screw-top type. My only gripe is that it could have a flip-top lid; screw-tops are problematic when you have mud-covered hands!
Like the image, mine has the "33% free" slogan ...

Advantages: Great minty smell Disadvantages: a bit of a thick consistency
I bought this face mask after hearing REALLY rave reviews about it on an American website. Seriously, over 200 girls were shouting out that they'd found the mother of all face masks, so I just had to try it out myself..even though I'm trying not to get caught up in hype! The trouble was, you could only buy it from America..luckily after a few months, I found a website (below) that sold them. One of the main reasons why this was so popular was b/c ... ...However, this website charged a lot more and I didn't think it was that cheap for me! It cost me £5.99, plus p&p, which came to almost £10 for it, plus I got carried away and order the whole range of masks and face scrubs...I advise you heavily NOT to do that!
Anyway, I was very very excited when I got this in the post and used it that very night. I got 33% extra, which was cool, though the packaging was not nice at all and looked so cheap next ...

Advantages: A face mask for oily skin that really works Disadvantages: Hard to get out of tube
...out of your skin! The Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask leaves my skin tingly & refreshed!
So who is this product for? I wouldnt recommend it to anyone with dry or irritable skin, this is essentially a product for oily spotty skin. Used once or twice a week with a proper skin care routine, it can seriously improve your blackheads & oilyness. Its so fab that even my boyfriend has started pinching it!
Definitely value for money & would recommend to potential ...

Advantages: really works Disadvantages: hard to get out of the tube
I first heard of this face mask on a beauty forum. People there were saying about how fantastic this is, & being the mug for anything that will make my skin look better; I bought it, not really expecting much.
I was amazed when it arrived. The tube is massive, plus I had 33% extra fee with mine, which meant that in total I had over 200g of this. (sorry tried to compare this to my other stuff, only can't find any other face mask in g). For a fiver, ... ...what it said on the tin.
It is a large tube, which is white & green; it's about twice as large as many other face masks. It is quite distinct, although I wouldn't say it was eye catching. I wouldn't have noticed it if I hadn't heard so many good reviews about it.
The blurb on the tube promises to 'dry up acne pimples, rinse away blackheads and shrink enlarged pores'. It promises to do all this 'within minutes'. Sounds good?
The mask itself is ...

Advantages: It works, it's cheap, effectively uses natural ingredients Disadvantages: hard to get off, bottle is quite small
Looking at the ingredients, this product is one that stands out. It contains sulphur which is great for healing the skin and kaolin and bentonite clay which is great for drawing out impurities. After exfoliating my nose with nuskin finishing peel, I apply this mask overnight. The next day, I wash it off and there is a noticeable difference. The bigger oil clogs are reduced and the small ones are hardly noticeable. The nose area is clean and smooth ... ...very cheap (I live in Singapore and I bought it for $6.50). It has a minty smell that doesn't disturb me at all. The only downside to this product is that getting it off can be a bit hard. But I don't mind, as long as it does its job well. ...

Advantages: cheap, works ok Disadvantages: can't move face, hard to get out of bottle
I have used this on and off and do find it to be quite good, it is true that it is very hard to get out the tube and does go as hard as a rock on your face, it states it is good for removing blackheads??.
I have slept with it on my chin and nose overnight and it does not have remarkable improvements for me.
It smaller quite minty and it more like chalk than anything it comes out in bits not smoothly.
You can get this much cheaper than £5 at Sally ... ...£2.50 inc vat, you get a beeter discount at sally stores if you have a trade card which all you have to have is a business cheque book and that is all that is required to get a sally card, which comes in very handy.
That is where I get my from and they do others in this range, such as peel off masks etc..
I was not so much adding a review as to advising where you can get it cheaper. ...

Advantages: All Natural Ingredients, Anti-Acne Disadvantages: Hard To Buy Within The UK as USA based
I sell the Queen Helene Products in my eBay store, however i do trial the products between friends and family before sales usualy. I must say the Mint Julep Face Masque has to be one of the most popular items they produce, however the Apricot Masque which contains ground kernels of apricot stones, is also a favourite with my family.
Additionally the Mint Julep also has anti-acne properties, which is why i believe it may be so popular, especially ... ...The Queen Helene Brand itself, from Para Laboratories in the USA are generally hard-to-come-by products within the UK, however if you shop around on eBay and online you may find a good deal. The products are usually priced below those of competitors, however item size is usually larger than some similar product brands at 8oz tube sizes!
Additionally the products they produce seem to be somewhat limited within product type ie scrubs, masques, moisturisers ...

Advantages: Tighter and cleaner feel Disadvantages: N/A
I've been useing the mint julep mask for 6 years now. I've tried so many other masks. After using the Mint Julep Mask I will never try another mask. I will always use it because of the way my face and neck feel after every use. I am 28 now and had acne very bad before I started using the mask. It cleanes my pores better than anything I've ever tried. I always have a cleaner and tighter feel after using the mask. I was alittle mad at Wal-Mart when ...
