Given my current obsession it will come as no surprise how excited I am to reveal this product. Judging by my blogs and anyone who knows me I have always loved Charlotte Tilbury as an artist, even before her brand launched, however her ingenious ideas and niche products are exactly what the market is screaming out for and this new product is no exception...
'Instant magic facial- dry sheet mask', if you have looked at any beauty related accounts or social media outlets you will have noticed how 'sheet face masks' have become increasingly popular over the past year and I'll admit I've probably tried 20 different types ranging from drug store brands to luxury- So what makes this mask so different?
First I need to talk about the fact it's dry, which at first I was dubious about, however on application it was amazing; I didn't have all kinds of serum escaping the packet, I also didn't have half the mask on my hands rather than my face. Applying the mask is so easy and no fuss. I cleansed my skin using Liz Earle cleanse and polish and warm water, I then towel dried my face and allowed 15 minutes rest time. I found the mask and instructions so easy, the mask tucks over your ears which is another great feature, you can actually walk around with the mask on (or in my case I wanded my hair). Then once the mask is in place you massage on top of the mask to activate, I must admit this was the strange part and the fact the material has an almost wool feel to was also odd. After two minutes of massaging the mask I actually googled reviews as I felt like nothing was working and maybe I was using the mask wrong- with it being such a new product I found no other blog reviews. It was a hot day and the mask was not helping! I peeled the corner away from my forehead and immediately noticed how glowy my skin looked, my skin felt super hydrated in that section, with my faith restored I left the mask on for the recommended 15 minutes...
I was so suprised that a mask that seemed super dry could produce such an amazing glow. I was so impressed by the results, my skin felt soft, I had a few blemishes and they all felt less irritated and any textured areas of my skin looked more even. I can't believe how hydrated my skin felt, the serum soaked in and I didn't find any product was in sitting on top of the skin. That is exactly why I found the mask perfect, as I was getting ready to go for a meal and drinks, therefore I needed to apply my makeup straight after the mask. My makeup applied effortlessly, I was so so happy with the result, as you can see from my pictures below my skin looks smooth even and most of all that 'natural' glow is restored. My friend who I work with/ see at least once a week she always has healthy/clear looking skin and wears a similar foundation to me (natural/ glowy) and last week I complimented her on how glowy and radiant she looked this particular day and she had used this same mask the night before and said she also loved it and noticed a real difference.
The mask costs £18 for one however you can buy a set of them which works out cheaper. It says the mask can be used up to three times, I used the mask a second time and felt just as hydrated and the benefits were exactly the same as the first use. I must point out how un-attractive the mask looks when wearing it; just make sure you aren't expecting an ASOS parcel when wearing it.
