Review: Honeydew and Chamomile Sleeping Mask

Today I'm doing a review on the Freeman Honeydew and Chamomile Sleeping Mask.  This is intended for dry skin, and claims to deeply hydrate overnight.  As mentioned with the previous Freeman masks, I purchased this at my local Walmart for around $2.

The product is a thick white cream, and you want to use a generous amount on a clean face.  You smooth it all over, and it is made to absorb into your skin so that you can sleep in it, and then wash it off the next morning.

First of all...it smells AMAZING!  If you love a good clean scent, or if you remember the old school cucumber melon scents and liked it, then you will love this product!  I was ready to smear it all over after just opening the packet and smelling, haha. Anyway, I took a bit out and started to put it all over my face.  The cream looks pretty thick, but when you start to put it all over your face, I felt it was more runny than I first expected.  Then I got nervous that I used too much because it wasn't "soaking" into my skin.  But, I decided to let it go and wait a little bit, and after about 10 minutes my face was completely dry.

It's been about an hour now, and my face feels a little tacky in areas, but overall I can't really tell anything is on it.  Around my nose is a bit itchy, but hopefully that doesn't last much longer.  I'm very eager to see my results in the morning...

THE NEXT DAY...

The next morning, I woke up and took a warm wash cloth to wipe my face down.  To be honest, I was surprised that I couldn't tell any difference!  My face didn't feel any smoother, and actually felt drier!  So I went to do my makeup...I used my Mary Kay Freshner and then followed with my moisturizer.  This is when I could tell a bit of a difference.  My moisturizer is amazing on it's own, but I could tell that my skin was actually softer. 

To wrap up, I don't think I'll purchase this one again.  To be made for dry skin, I had such high hopes, but with little to no results.  I do have the rest of this packet to use, so maybe the next time I'll have better results.  If anything changes, I'll keep you posted!

Review: Sephora Rose Eye Mask

Hey everyone!  So I'm back today with a small review of an eye mask I purchased at Sephora.

I purchased this mask for $5 at my local Sephora, the packaging says that it is ultra moisturizing and brightening, so I knew I had to try it!

From the website:

Rose Eye Mask: Replenishes the delicate eye contour 

and gives an immediate radiance boost for 

a plumper, fresher, and brighter look.

I used this mask after my shower, and upon opening it, I wasn't sure about the smell.  It wasn't disgusting, but it wasn't the pleasant flowery smell I had in mind.  The patches are super wet, so be warned that they may dribble on your counter as you remove them from the package.

The patches are very easy to place and stay put the entire 15 minutes that you keep them on.  They had kind of a cooling sensation while they were on, so I liked that a lot, very relaxing.

I thought someone would like this pic, haha

 

Once your 15 minutes are up, you just pull them off your face...very easy!  Pat under your eyes a little to make sure it absorbs and your done!  No washing after.  After, there is more of a cooling feeling.  My under eye area stayed feeling sticky/tacky several minutes after I took the eye masks after, so that was weird, but I did think my skin was more moisturized afterward.

Another makeup free selfie-oh my!

 

I guess overall, I did like the product, but I kind of doubt I'll repurchase.  I mean, for $5 I could buy several masks, or put it towards an eye cream that will have lasting moisturizing effects rather than this mask that I couldn't tell a difference by the next night.

So, if you're looking for just a nice cooling eye mask before bed, it's great...but, if you're wanting the mask to make a huge difference, you should probably skip it.

Thanks for reading!  I'll be back next week with another review!
