On top of being sad and blurg from the weather, I'm sad and definitely blurg from that wonderful time of the month. Waking up with a migraine and killer cramps is not how I wanted to spend my Saturday morning but it's okay.
Last night, I vegged out with some Golden Girls and indulged in the mini haul I picked up on my way home from work, which included the Feeling Beautiful by Freeman Cucumber Peel-Off face mask. I'd used their Avocado mask before and I love it so I picked up a tube of this mask when I stopped at CVS to grab a box of tampons and a bar of chocolate.
I'm not sure how I feel about this mask though.
When I put it on, it's like rubbing a thick layer of clear tacky glue on your face. It's sticky and very hard to spread without feeling like you're tugging at your skin (which we all know is a no-no).
Then... I got it in my eyebrows. Me-ow-ch.
It takes longer than the 5-10 minutes listed in the directions to dry so I bebopped around Reddit for a while while it sat on my face.
It did pull off nicely but it kind of felt like I had a giant pore strip on my face so... peeling it off was a bit unpleasant. I used a washrag to get the remaining bits from around my hairline (and eyebrows!) and then followed up with a toner (just a CVS knock off of L'Oreal and a CVS knock off of Neutrogena's daily moisturizer--which I actually hate but still own for some reason).
It made my skin really smooth. My pores look slightly smaller and it's not greasy. So I guess it worked.
All in all, I'd rather use the avocado mask but I'll keep this one around. Pete will get a kick out of it, I think, so it wasn't a total waste of $4. (He loves doing face masks with me, which is hilarious and fun. But he'll kill me if he finds out I told you all!)
Have you ever used any of the Feeling Beautiful line of face masks? Let me know if I should try any of the other ones in the comments (the Charcoal one looks kind of fun!)
