Face Mask - Maschera DopoSole Idratante e Restitutiva by Clinians Suisse Review

Hi dear! 

Today I will review this face mask by Clinians Suisse which is supposed to nourish skin after a long Sun expsosure.

This mask is not a cream but a transparent light blue gel.

One time applied on face, like every mask, it is almost transparent.

Unfortunately I haven't felt any sensation of freshness wearing it...nor excessive hydration.

It leaves the skin sticky even after the removal of the excess.

Finally, it contains parabens.

The perfume is chemical.

My rating: 3/10

Price:1-2 €

 I will not buy it again for sure.  

That's all for today,

thanks for all the nice comments!

See you soon!

Kisses

Face Mask - Kiehl's Cialantro & Orange Extract Pollutant Defending Mask Review

Hi dear!

Time ago, when I reviewed these samples by Kiehl's, I anticipated you that I made a mistake buying a mask...well, this mask! This is the Kiehl's Cialantro & Orange Extract Pollutant Defending Mask.

When I was in the shop the consultant says me that it is necessary a little quantity product for all the face, to wait 15 mins and then to remove the mask. 

On the bottle it is written to just remove the excess and leave a thin layer..

My experience: the consultant was right. It is better to remove *well* all the traces of product, maybe with a gentle tonic like the one by Yves Rocher. 

The point is that this mask is super greasy and even if you will remove the excess..your faces will remain greasy and sticky. This is not what someone want before going to bed...right?

So that's why I repent myself to not buying the full size of  Kiehl's Turmeric & Cranberry Seed Energizing Radiance Masque..

Moreover, this mask badly interacts with solar exposure. I read that the mask contains alpha hidroxy acid that can enhance skin sensibility to radiations.. and it can favor sunburn!

So, I used this mask only in winter..

All considered I rate this product 5/10 because it is not the right product for me. The ingredients are good, see the list below.

Informations from Kiehl's.com 

This protective facial mask defends and replenishes skin to help reduce the visible effects of pollution.

Formulated with Cilantro and Orange Extract, our treatment mask helps skin feel strengthened against environmental aggressors while helping to prevent impurities from adhering to skin. 

With continued use, dull, unhealthy looking skin is renewed, radiant and protected.

How To Apply:

Apply a visible layer of our pollutant-defending face mask after cleansing and moisturizing.

Leave on for 5 minutes and tissue off.

Pat in excess, leaving a thin protective layer on skin to work overnight.

Recommended for use three times per week at night.

Samples - Kiehl's Turmeric & Cranberry Seed Energizing Radiance Masque, Calendula Deep Cleansing Foaming Face Wash, Ultra Facial Overnight Hydrating Masque

Hi dear!
I'm back with another post of the series 'samples'!

Time ago, I've been in a Kiehl's shop where I bought a face masque and as gift I received some samples: 2 masques and 1 tonic.

Since Kiehl's products are quite expensive & specific I strongly suggest to try some samples before buying full size...Because I bought a mask and then I discovered that it was not the right mask for me.

Yes, because the right mask for me is this one below!

So let's start:

Turmeric & Cranberry Seed Energizing Radiance Masque

Invigorates & brightens skin's appearance

This mask is very good, it deeply cleans pores and after the treatment skin appears radiant! It acts also as a scrub since it contains cranberry seeds, but the effect is super gentle. After the treatment is a good idea to apply a good moisturizer.

In my case I apply the Calendula alcohol free toner also by Kiehl's, the result was perfect! Most importantly, skin purified and hidrated NOT sticky!

My rating: 9/10

Price full size 100 ml: 40 € 

I will buy the full size.

Calendula Deep Cleansing Foaming Face Wash

A highly effective cleanser for smoother, softer skin

I used this product for two applications, the foam is rich and dense. It dries a little skin. For sure the gel cleanser by Yves Rocher is more delicate and it does not leave skin dry.

My rating: 5.5/10

Price full size 230 ml: 30 €

I will not buy it, the price is too high for the quality offered.

Finally, the last product.

I'm so happy I didn't buy this mask!!!

Ultra Facial Overnight Hydrating Masque

Hydrated, healthier-looking skin by morning

Well, this mask has been a total flop. You have to apply it all over the face (avoid area near eyes). Then you have to remove the excess and go to bed...BUT this mask is tremendously sticky! Face will be sticky the following morning and the pillow..dirty too!

My rating: 4/10

Price full size 125 ml: 32 €

I will not buy it for sure!

Face Mask - Qiriness Wrap Eclat, Radiance Booster Microfiber Mask

Hi dear!!!
Time ago I've been in a Marionnaud perfumery and I saw this brand for skin care called Qiriness. Even though the price was a little bit high for one tissue mask I decided to give it a try.

So, I bought the Radiance Booster Mask because at that time my skin was a little bit tired.

The tissue mask is super imbued of serum, I should say, too much imbued. A lot of serum is wasted, in my opinion.

I applied the mask for circa 30 minutes..but most of the liquid is almost all in the mask...

After the treatment the face is sticky. I hate this effect!

But I don't like to rinse my face after a mask.

The day after I didn't noticed any improvement on my skin.

My rating: 5/10

Price: 8 € (!)

Illuminate your complexion with the Wrap Eclat ! (from qiriness.com)

This microfiber mask diffuses revitalising and radiance boosting actives at the heart of the skin, thanks to a perfect adhesion to the face. All skin types, especially asphyxiated skin and smokers, benefit from improved radiance, for an immediately illuminating result !

Face Mask - Strawberry Souffle 7th Heaven, Montagne Jeunesse, Moisturising and Soothing Masque

Hi dear!!!

This mask has disappointed me a lot because the mask itself is very good BUT the perfume is horrible, a chemical strawberry...like Big Babol!!! Terrible.

It is really a shame, because the mask is very creamy, it absorbs well all the impurities but it also nourishes deeply skin.

It also contains little grains, that are similar to strawberry seeds, that acts as a scrub.

Here some photos and more information:

Face Mask - Cien Aqua Moisturising Mask - with aloe vera and jojoba oil

Hi dear!

After my good experience with the Cien Anti-Wrinkle Mask I decided to try other types too. So, I'm back with the Aqua Moisturising mask, which is enriched  in aloe vera and jojoba oil.

The quality is good, in the sense that my skin was well hydrated after the treatment. Next morning my face was uniform and relaxed.

All considered I'm satisfied by this mask. I think it is useful for summer but also for winter, because skin dehydrates a lot also when the climate is cold.

The perfume is delicate.

My rating: 7.5/10

Price: 0.7 €

I would buy it again!

• Aqua moisturising mask - With Aloe vera and jojoba oil
• Intense hydratation for dry skin
• Fills the skin's moisture barrier and provides a smooth and noticeably supple skin
• The refreshing formula with Provitamin B5, Aloe Vera and Jojoba oil reduces stressfulness
• The formulation with a special moisture complex protects the skin from drying out and smoothes small dryness pockets. Ensures your well-being and a pleasant skin feel.

Some interesting ingredients:

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice

Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil (like in the anti-wrinkle mask)

Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil (Jojoba Oil)

Urea

Panthenol

Dimethicone (!)

Face Mask - Goji Berry & Pomegranate Super Fruit Mud by 7th Heaven, Montagne Jeunesse

Hi dear!

As you know I like to try different masks. Montagne Jeunesse is a good brand all considered, for the quality and the price of their masks. So, if I'm in a shop an saw them I usually buy some. It is a routine for me doing 2-3 masks per week because I noticed very good effects on my skin. It is clean and hydrated.

The masks I will talk you about today is a purifying mask, so after its removal is important to applied a good moisturizer.

The perfume is chemical but not strong.

The mask contain clay so after some (10-20 minutes) it is necessary to remove it gently with a sponge and warm water. It acts also like a scrub. It is a typical clay mask.

My rating: 7/10

Price: 1.40 €

I would not by it again, my favorite Montagne Jeunesse mask is and remains the Hot Spring Sauna!!!

Face Mask - Iroha nature Pro, Hyaluronic Acid PLUS, Intensive mask-moisturizing

Hi dear! 

Recently I tried this tissue face mask by Iroha, a Spanish brand based in Barcelona.

I have been tempted because the package contains not only the tissue for face but also a stripe for the neck! This the first time I've tried something similar.

But this stripe has revealed a complete flop, because it is not practical and practicality is everything for me.

The point is that you have to stay horizontal because if you walk or do something the stripe falls and this is extremely irritating!

So, all considered the idea is good but then not effective.

The tissue is well imbued and the ingredient list very good.

Nevertheless I didn't see great results after the treatment.

Skin is well hydrated but too much sticky for my taste.

The only tissue face mask that has effectively done something is the first one ever tried, the agae purifying mask by Sephora!

My rating: 6.5/10

Price: 3-4 €

I would not buy it again.

Here some photos and additional information:

Face Mask - Lux Lift Argan - SCRUB MASK 2 in 1 FORMULA with Organic Argan oil & Black Clay, by Bio Phytorelax Laboratories

Hi dear! When I was in Italy the past August I bought some interesting products, for example this face mask by Bio Phytorelax, an Italian brand which produces natural beauty products.

This mask is formulated with argan oil and black clay.

Since masks which contain clay usually dry skin I was curious to see if this product was in some way different.

This is the case!

In effect, as every mask of this format, you just have to apply it on clean face, wait some time (10-20 minutes), massage a little the product before removing it using warm water and a sponge.

After the treatment skin is not dry, is super nourished but not sticky! This means that it is not necessary to apply any hydrating cream after. It is a purifying + nourishing mask I should say!

It acts also a bit like a scrub, but it is not so strong the effect, so I will suggest this mask also to very delicate skins.

My rating: 8/10

Price: 8.90 €

All considered I would buy it again or I would like to try other masks of the same brand.

Here some photos and more information:
