The Queen of face masks!

Advantages: Low price + large tube + gorgeous mint scent + really works!
Disadvantages: Sulfur smell - flip-top would be better - possibly update the design

...star removed partly because of the Sulphur smell. INGREDIENTS Purified Water Kaolin Bentonite Glycerin Zinc Oxide Propylene Glycol Sulfur Chromium Oxide Greens Fragrance Phenoxyethanol Methylparaben TIPS ON USING MINT JULEP MASK To use this, I cleanse my face thoroughly then pat it with a towel, but not so that my face is completely dry. I find it easier to apply the mask if my skin is a little damp to start with. I layer it on, let it dry for about 30-40 minutes, before gently rinsing/scrubbing it off. It leaves your skin perfectly primer for a moisturiser or night cream. PRICE The price is great and Julep Mask is good value for money. I will repurchase this at some point, despite the egg smell it omits. It works too well to not repurchase it. AVAILABILITY Some people have said that they cannot find this item...

Review of Queen Helene Mint Julep Face Mask

Superdrug Face Mask

Advantages: Cheap, does its job, refreshing
Disadvantages: Looks cheap

...I'm feeling terrible at the moment - I think I've caught some virus or something, and decided to perk myself up with a face mask. I dug out my trusty self-heating mud mask from the Natural Collection at Boots but I only had a tiny bit left. My mum was going shopping anyway yesterday, so I sent her to Boots to pick up a tube for me, but being my mother, she had decided that self-heating ones weren't good for the skin and bought me one from Superdrug! There are a few different versions, but I got the sensitive version. It comes in a plain white tube with MASK written vertically across it, in big turquoise letters. It does look slightly cheap, but for £1.59, what do you expect? It contains 75ml of the face mask, and it's really just a thick white paste that smells slightly of E45 cream if you sniff the bottle, but when you have it on...

Review of Superdrug Face Mask

A great face mask

Advantages: Easy to apply, leaves face feeling cleansed and refreshed
Disadvantages: None

...face because it is so thick. Once I have covered my face with it, my skin just looks shiny. I can feel this working straight away. I can feel it tingling on my face and as the minutes pass, I can feel the mask tighten slightly. Approximately twenty minutes later I touch my face to see if the mask has dried, and it has. The removal of it is simple - I just loosen a piece of the mask on the side of my face and lift it off. The mask virtually comes off in one piece. After removing the mask I am surprised how soft my face feels. It also feels cleansed and nice and refreshed. When I take a closer look in the mirror, I also find that the couple of blackheads I had on my noise are not quite as visible. OTHER INFORMATION For more information on the product you can have a look at Avon's website, which is www...

Review of Avon Tea Tree Peel-Off Face Mask

Tesco's Face Lift

Advantages: Smell, wasn't greasy.
Disadvantages: Not a lot of product.

...Face Lift is a moisturising cream designed by Barbara Daly for the Tesco Make-Up line. This is another beauty product I've stolen off my sister. I always like to try them out before wasting my own money on them. ****Packaging**** The outer packaging consists of a plastic box with a full list of ingredients printed on one side and a description of the product on the other. This box is marked as recyclable. The moisturiser itself is inside a frosted glass pot. You will get 30 ml of the product. The cream, which looks a lot like a pale shade of foundation, can be seen through the glass and is topped with a silver screw-on top. The name of the product is printed in black on the glass. Inside the pot there is also another protective lid which you can lift off and replace as you wish. ****Price**** For 30ml it will...

Review of Tesco Make-Up Face Lift

Clear skin with Boots tea & Witch Hazel peel off face mask!!!!!

Advantages: cheap! clears spots!
Disadvantages: can't use in the bath as timesaver.

..., and smooth and a lot less greasy than it usually fells, I was quite impressed. You are only meant to use it occassionaly but as my skin was so bad I used it for about four days in a row and it seemed to make my spots go quicker than they usually would, as well as making my skin look healthier and giving it more of a glow! (I however would not recommend you go against the recommended use on the back of the package in case of long term damage to your skin-i.e. more wrinkles!) I was especially happy about this product as it seems to be made for greasy skin so leaves skin dryer, unlike so clay or other masks. Also you don't have the hassle of washing annoying bits of wet mask off of your face as it peels off so easily! It came in incredibly handy when my sister got married as I was chief bridesmaid and had a horrible outbreak a week before...

Review of Boots Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Peel Off Face Mask

Mini face lift

Advantages: Smoother looking skin
Disadvantages: Applying makeup on top

...Youth Lift....Face lift in a bottle? The face lift in a bottle claim is a little bit over dramatic considering exactly what this product can do. What does it do? It does give an immediate smoothing effect, almost like ironing out the wrinkles....to some extent. As well as the instant (temporary) results, there are longer term benefits to this product as it is packed with proteins and other nutrients that firm and hydrate the skin. Application Application is quite staight forward, just smooth a little over the whole face or on specific areas (around eyes or mouth) with fingertips.Don't rub it in until it's absorbed, leave to dry naturally which takes a few moments. Skin looks great afterwards, especially if you do not apply any makeup over the product. Well, I'm afraid I still need my makeup to face the world. This is...

Review of Gale Hayman Gale Haymen Youth Lift

Scrummy Mask!

Advantages: Super-soft skin, smells yummy
Disadvantages: None

...I visited my local Lush branch last week in search of a fresh face mask to sort out my tired looking skin. I do use their products fairly regularly, but it had been some weeks since I'd used a fresh mask and my face felt like it could do with a treat. I went towards the end of the day and was pleasantly surprised that they still had a full range of fresh masks, although this did make my job of deciding which one to take home a little more difficult! The lady working there suggested trying their most recent conconction -oatifix. She said it was deeply moisturising and particularly suited to dry and sensitive skin. For those of you who haven't tried Lush's range of Fresh Face masks - these are made with fresh ingredients (which can often be found in your kitchen) and contain no preservatives. For this reason they need to be kept in...

Review of Lush Oatifix Fresh Face Mask

Face mask

Advantages: Self Heat
Disadvantages: None

...Firstly this was my situation a few months ago, my skin was dull, lacking life, dry.I desperately needed a change. I decided to treat myself to a face mask, this of which i was extremely attracted to from reviews i have heard previously in a magazine, also the packaging was appealing and attractive to the eye. It has not been tested on animals. I have sensitive skin and therefore it was a prioty that i got something that would not irritate my skin, this of which is perfect as it is suitable for all skin types. Available from a variety of stores including boots, superdrug and lloyds. As it is a heat mask at first coming out of the packet it will feel cold.....but do not panic! Before application throughly cleanse your face, removing any trace of makeup. Place product in hand hot water for one minute, Apply evenly over...

Review of Biore Self-Heating Moisture Mask

The Mask

Advantages: Easy to use, lasts a long time, cleanses and purifies your skin.
Disadvantages: Looking very ugly with it on & slightly dries out my skin.

...?~ Okay being in my 30s I don't really suffer from blemishes so perhaps this isn't the most appropriate face mask for me but since I was given this as a gift, I thought I would give it a whirl! On opening the lid, you are hit with a strong smell of peppermint, not my favourite smell but not my worst, so bearable. The cream itself is very 'creamy', rich and very very smooth to the touch. Scoop some of the cream out of the tub and apply to your face with your fingertips. It goes on very easily, avoiding the eyes and lip area so that by the time you are finished it's quite a scary and oh so unattractive look, especially today since my eyes were still a little blooshot from last night's antics! After the first couple of minutes, you can definitely feel a little tingling sensation on your skin. When I first used this I thought that I must...

Review of The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Face Mask

dead Sea Magik Face Mask

Advantages: brightens, moisturises, tones, cleans, good for travel, remedy for late nights
Disadvantages: none

...I love this mask. I use it a lot. At first you have to apply it right otherwise it doesn't peel off easily. You just mix with water and make the mixture into a smooth paste and then apply onto your face. I leave it for 10-15 minutes and then just peel off. I use quite a thick layer so the mask peels off easily and then just wip my face with a towel and fresh water. The mask refreshes my skin and tones as well. I really feel the minerals in the mask working and I always think my skin looks brighter when I use this mask. It cleans and moisturises and I use it about once a week. I find my skin looks smoother and the area around my eyes brighter so it's good for late nights and tired skin from everyday life. I think the mask conditions skin well and gives it a kind of vitamin and mineral natural injection. You can buy in packs...
