Long live the brow queen!

HOW TO USE

Apply the brush along the eyebrow to fill and define. Allow formula to dry. Repeat for a bolder look.

INGREDIENTS

This is an awesome quick easy to use tinted brow gel. I feel like you don't need any special skills to be able to make this look good. It's very user friendly. The small brush tip lets you have precise control and get into the nooks and crannies of your brow without smudging it on places where you don't want it. You can just sweep this on and be done. This is my favorite way to do my brows. It defines and adds color while still looking soft and natural and its super quick and easy. I love it. Would definitely recommend giving this a try...unless you're someone that likes a super sculpted and defined really bold eyebrow, although it does say you can layer and build this product up.

OVERALL THOUGHTS

First Impression:

Size: 5 oz

This 15 minute, mud based mask releases a warm sensation that reaches deep within the pores to dissolve & dislodge the build-up of impurities helping you look so fresh and so clean!

HOW TO USE

Thoroughly clean your face with a cleanser and pat dry. Unscrew my cap and massage my mud with your fingertips evenly over your face and neck area-but don't get to close to your eyes or lips! Leave me on for approximately 10-15 min and then gently rinse me off with water. Use me once a week to stay soo fresh and sooo clean!

VERDICT 

March 2nd, 2016: Not that I've tried a ton of clay/mud masks, but surprisingly this is my favorite thus far...and as someone with combo skin, I think this is an awesome product for people in the same group as me.

I feel like a lot of the time products are marketed for either dry skin or oily skin, but there really isn't a lot out there specifically for combo skin, and while this isn't specifically targeted/marketed towards combo skin, I think it does a great job of addressing both issues so really when you think about it, it's an overall great product for ALL skin types as it's gentle enough for dry skin, but still strong and tough enough to tackle all the dirty gunk.

A lot of the times I have to multi-task and use different products on different parts of my face which can get a bit annoying, but with this I can just slather just the one product on my face and be done with it knowing that it did a fantastic job of cleaning out my pores whilst still keeping my face nice and hydrated...in fact it actually feels more moisturized than before I used the mask. After the 15 minutes are up my skin feels so unbelievably clean and fresh and soft and smooth and supple like a baby's bottom. It really is so fresh and so clean! I totally agree with all of it's claims...except for the skin brightening part. I didn't really notice any brightening, but the...

Green Tea & Witch Hazel help to unclog pores & purify

Tea Tree & Salicylic Acid help to control oil & acne

Aloe Vera & Vitamin E help to moisturize skin

Vitamin C helps to brighten skin...not so much

To be honest, it was a bit of a rocky start for me and this product...mainly because I wasn't and am still not a fan of the packaging...and by packaging I mean the bright neon paint splatter design not the actual mechanism of the package. The screw cap mechanism I actually really like because I can just squeeze the product out like toothpaste which makes the application process a breeze and sanitary.

I know you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, but I couldn't help myself...I was having a "mean girl" moment and I judged it by it's cover and had negative preconceptions about the product and almost didn't even try it...but I caught myself and was like no I should give it a chance and try it at least once so with no expectations whatsoever I gave it a go and boy am I glad I did. I will most definitely purchase a full size of this once I run out of my sample, which by the way a little goes a long way.

P.S. This product truly does heat up on your face. Not to a warm sensation like it states, but like it actually has a kick to it and will seriously heat up to an almost but not quite an unbearable state...it gets right up to that line but doesn't cross it point, so if you have super sensitive skin you might not be able to handle the heat. I was able to manage though and I feel like it really does make a difference in getting deep down to clean out the pores. Just to be safe though I would try it out on a little patch of skin first.

Happy masking!
