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: Charcoal and Black Sugar Polishing Mask

So this week I tried another mask from my local Walmart.  This one caught my eye because the base was charcoal and it was polishing...I felt it would be perfect for my dry skin!  So here is the packet:

 

Like with the banana mask, it was just a couple dollars, so I figured it was worth a try. 

Here is the back of the packet, along with what the product looks like:

 

 My first impression, is that it smells awesome!  It reminds me of something from LUSH, but I can't remember what...maybe BIG shampoo or American Cream?  I don't know, but it smells really fresh and nice.  The directions say that you can get 2-4 applications from this one packet...I don't know how you can get 4, but I'll definitely be able to get 2.  Whoever can get 4, please let me know! =)

Here is my lovely before:

  

I have just showered and washed my face with my Mary Kay 3-n-1 Cleanser.  Please ignore my horrible shirt...it's comfortable to sleep in, haha.

So the directions are to apply it, leave it on for 5-7 minutes.  Then gently message for 1-2 minutes and rinse with warm water.  Here I am with the mask on:

 

The mask was pretty messy to apply, it was clumpy and kept falling off my face.  So be warned!  You'll need to apply this one over your bathroom sink for sure.  My face, especially around my nose got a little itchy about 2 minutes in...then it turned into wanting to scratch my nose off because it was so itchy!  I left it on for just a little over 5 minutes...I didn't want to push it too far like I did last time.

My cheeks got a little red during the massaging part, and I don't think I could do much longer than a minute of the massaging since it started feeling a little rough.  The mask was a little difficult to remove because of the sugar, but not horrible.   Once I fully rinsed my face, my skin wasn't sensitive or red at all...in fact, it felt amazing!

Here is my after photo:

 

Overall, I loved it!  My skin felt so smooth!  I can't wait to use it again, and I probably will be purchasing the full size very soon.  If you have dry skin, I would for sure recommend this mask!  I don't think I can say more great things about it.  Even today, about 2 days after doing the mask, my skin feels so smooth and soft!  I'm even going to have my boyfriend try it.
