A couple of weeks
ago a lovely lady called Rachel from cutecosmetics contacted me to test some of
Amie skincare range that was soon to release onto the www.cutecosmetics.co.uk website. Which I must say is worth checking out if you like
organic products or want to try the EOS lipbalms, OCC Lip Tars or Butter London
Polishes as they stock these on the site!
A product
that was sent to me was the Spring Clean Cooling Clay Mask that I do believe
that a sachet of the mask is free on the site with any Amie Skincare purchase.
For a full size 75ml the mask costs £4.95.
Last night both
sister, a girl with ‘normal’ skin that’s prone to eczema and I , a girl with
normal-dry sensitive skin, decided to try out the mask.
When trialling the
mask we first noticed the scent – lime being the most predominant ( much like
starbursts). The scent is very pleasant and refreshing.
Thick mask itself
is of a thick clay-like consistency that spreads easily around the skin. When
applying it, the mask is very smooth and is cooling on the skin as it begins to
set.
When It was setting
I did notice that in certain areas ( top of my cheeks) and on my sisters
sun-burn that the face mask began to make the skin feel sore and stung
slightly. I do feel this was slightly due to me applying the mask too close to
my eyes and fortunately, this stinging went in a couple of minutes. Also,
whilst setting, I did find that skin felt very tight and very hard to move –
this I expected as it is a clay based mask.
To remove the face
mask I used a warm damp muslin cloth. Although this seemed to take longer than
it did to apply the mask – I find this is the most efficient removal method and
was relatively easy to remove.
After I had removed
the mask I felt that my skin was still slightly tight however it did feel deeply
cleansed, smooth and refreshed.
As for blemishes, I
can’t say that the mask made any difference to them , expect maybe feeling less
sore.
Overall I feel that
this mask is great value, I managed to get 2 applications (possibly 3) per one 15ml sachet.
