Yureka Esthetic Charcoal Premium Modeling Gel Mask Pack

https://www.beauteque.com/yureka-charcoal-premium-modeling-gel-mask-pack/

Size: 2 oz

The effect of modeling helps the moisture and the nutritional contents to be absorbed into the skin.

By removing various wastes and dead skin cells, this can be removed by foam cleanser with the principle that the main ingredient, alginate reacts with a positive ion such as calcium ions.

The gelatin will then become hard, like rubber.

HOW TO USE

Pour 2 Step (Powder) and 1 Step (Liquid) in the tray. Mix them fast. Apply on your face and peel it off after 25-30 minutes. Tone your face and apply basic skin care products.

INGREDIENTS

1 Step (Liquid): Water, Dipropylene Glycol, Algin, PEG-75, 1,2-Hexanediol, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Charcoal Powder (1,000PPM), Allantoin, Betaine, Trehalose, Bambusa Vulgaris Water, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Camella Sinensis Leaf Extract, Propolis Extract, Caprylyl Glycol, Beeswax, Ethylhexylglycerin, CI 16185, CI 19140, CI 42090, Disodium EDTA, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil

2 Step (Powder): Glucose, Calcium Sulfate, Tapioca Starch, Dextrin, Tetrapotassium Pyrophosphate, Potassium Alginate, Charcoal Powder (1,000PPM), Allantoin, Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Camellia Sensis Leaf Powder, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Powder, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil

VERDICT

June 13th, 2018: I love this modeling mask. It's got a bit more of a fluid formula than other modeling masks that I've tried in the past, but because of this thinner liquid-ier formula I feel like it made it a lot easier to smooth onto the face. It did in turn make it feel a bit slippery and like it might slide off my face, but it stayed put the whole time and I didn't have any slippage issues.

When you first mix the two components together, it smells like peppermint. It's a noticeable scent, but not a overwhelming one. One you start to apply it on the face though, it seems to dissipate and I didn't smell it anymore once I got it all on. Once applied to the face though, that peppermint scent then converts into a peppermint sensation...it feels tingly and minty on the face. A sensation that is quite noticeable on the skin, like those plumping lip glosses, but it's not annoying or irritating or unbearable or anything like that and it actually felt quite nice...nice and cooling and refreshing actually. Surprising since I hate the feeling of those minty tingly lip glosses that are supposed to plump your lips.

Anywho, this charcoal mask, which has glitters in it by the way making it sparkly and pretty to look at, doesn't dry down into the usual rubber clay texture that other modeling masks do and that this claims to do. This definitely does not "become hard, like rubber" as stated in the description. Instead it "dries" down...or rather I should say it firms up like a wet jelly/jello. It's not sticky or anything like that, but it's gel-like and remains wet and is quite slippery. Also, it forms a thin layer of liquid on top and below where it rests/makes contact with your face.

I'm not sure what that liquid is exactly, but this wet jelly texture that it firms up to, makes it really easy to remove the mask because it just lifts and slides off the face...not the most secure feeling mask, but it does stay put until you go to remove it. Once removed, it leaves behind a thin layer of liquid on your face. Again, not sure what it is, so I lightly rinsed my face with water and then swiped my face with toner on a cotton pad before going in with the rest of my skincare.

The results of this 30 minute masking session? This left my face feeling so refreshed and hydrated and nice and while I used this in the evening, this would probably be a fantastic modeling mask to use in the morning as that peppermint would probably wake you right up and energize you. Also, I feel like my skincare went on and sank in so much nicer after this masking session then normal too. All around it gave me a great masking session and I would definitely buy some more to have on hand. Plus, it's got some great ingredients in it like: Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, Aloe, Centella Asiatica, Propolis, etc. Definitely gets my stamp of approval.

Update - June 15th, 2018: So it's been a couple days since I tried this and my skin still feels fantastic. I have woken up the past two mornings with soft, smooth, hydrated and radiant skin that just looks and feels healthy. This thing doesn't just give you immediate gratification, but those effects actually last.

It is a bit pricier at $7.99 a box, which is one masking session, but considering the longevity of the beautiful effects that it has on my skin I think it is totally worth it and I have just been falling a little more in love with it each day as I wake up to soft supple smooth healthy radiant skin.

It's been a hot minute since I last used the Ettang masks: https://ahnspired.blogspot.com/2016/04/ettang.html, which were my favorites, but I think I might love these even more.

Because I love this so much, I tried to search online to see if there were any other variations of this modeling mask, but all I can find is this Charcoal one. Regardless, I will most definitely be buying more of these to have on hand.

BTW, Can you see the glitters? I know it's a terrible picture and it just looks like specs of white paint, but those are the glitters...which look so much prettier and sparklier in real life.

Lindsay Modeling Rubber Mask - Lavender

Ebay: https://amzn.to/2XLhYwS***As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.***

Size: 4 oz
A staple in Korean top celebrity spas, modeling rubber masks are a step-up from regular sheet masks. When applied, the thick layer of rubber fully conforms to the shape of your face, allowing mineral-rich nutrients to be absorbed without the risk of evaporation. For all skin types.

Alginate, found in kelp extract, that transforms from a powder to a soft gel-like texture when mixed in water. Formulated with a blend of botanicals and clays, this mineral-rich Modeling Rubber Mask helps to detoxify skin by gently lifting away impurities and dead skin cells while supplying nutrients into the skin to reveal instant brightening effects.

Lavender - This Lavender Rubber Mask creates a relaxing, tone and texture balancing facial, to leave your skin feeling well rested and glowing. Formulated with clays and botanicals. Lavender helps to detoxify skin by gently lifting dead skin cells away.

HOW TO USE
Pour water into the rubber mask cup, up to the marked line. Mix well with included spatula until it becomes a paste. Spread a thick and even layer onto clean, dry skin. Start with the cheeks, chin, forehead, and finish with the nose. Make sure a thicker layer is applied toward the edges of the face, as this will make it easier to lift and peel off afterwards. Leave on for 10-15 minutes until mask becomes a solid, rubbery texture. Gently peel off the mask and rinse off any residue with warm water. Follow with your regular skincare.

INGREDIENTS
Lavender contains essential antioxidants to help cleanse pores from environmental pollutants.

VERDICT
June 22nd, 2017: This is a really nice rubber mask, definitely better than the Magic Mask reviewed below, but it's still not my absolute favorite. It's got the usual modeling mask texture and formula, but I feel like this was a little more lenient...it gave you more time to get it on your face before "hardening". That or I've just gotten really good and quick and applying these rubber masks, but I think its the formula because I did get distracted for a minute after mixing and was delayed applying it to my face, but I still had enough time to get it on before it started to "harden" so that was nice.

I mixed this with nice cold refrigerated water, so it would be extra cooling and while it was nice and cooling for the first couple minutes, that coolness didn't last for very long...it kind of dissipated down to room temperature, which was a bit of a bummer since it's so hot here right now...it's 11PM and it's still over 100 degrees and after running my air conditioning non-stop for the past 3-4 days through 118/119 degree weather it seems to be struggling a bit.

Anywho, regardless it was still a really nice masking session nonetheless and this did leave my face feeling soothed, calm, relaxed and brightened as described...it left my face with a really nice healthy glow to it, and while it did infuse some hydration into my skin it wasn't the most hydrating masking session so if hydration is your main concern and what you're after then this may not be for you, but it does provide some. Also, while it wasn't sticky or tacky, it did leave me face with a slight...grip to it, but it's NOT sticky or tacky or bothersome in the slightest.

Overall, I do still prefer the Ettang modeling masks though: https://ahnspired.blogspot.com/2016/04/ettang.html and will stick with those. Those are very cooling the entire masking session and is more hydrating and is still very effective. Also, it's cheaper and more affordable than these Lindsay modeling masks. While this is nice and does perform the Ettang is just a little bit better in my opinion...although you will have to work a bit faster with that one as the formula starts to "harden" quicker.

VERDICT
September 13th, 2016: This is a nice cooling refreshing super hydrating modeling mask, but I much prefer the modeling masks from Ettang which are cheaper but provide better results in my opinion. I don't know if it's because I've been dying to try this and my expectations were high going into it, but I was kind of disappointed. While it is nice, I don't think it performs as well as the Ettang masks.

The gold, which there really are flecks of gold in this and you can see it sparkling in the powder, didn't give me the radiant glow this claims to. If you're just looking for a super hydrating cooling and refreshing mask than this will be right up your alley, but the Ettang masks are equally if not more hydrating, cooling, refreshing, and leave your skin looking luminous and bright and super soft and smooth and beautiful...results that last for the entire night and all through the next day.

The one plus about this set though is the spatula that was included. The spatula included with the Ettang masks are absolute crap, but the Lindsay spatula is bomb. It's got a long handle which makes it super easy to hold and it has a nice sizable head to easily spread and apply the product on the face. I LOVE the spatula. The included bowl is meh...it's made of a silicone rubber and it feels cheap and easily rip-able at the seams. It's convenient in a pinch, but I would much prefer using an actual bowl.

I'm sure you can tell, but this is a pass for me. It's not that it's bad, but there's better and I've already gone ahead and repurchased another box of the Ettang modeling masks to take care of my rubber masking needs.

June 13th, 2017: These modeling masks feel so good on the face. This one is especially great post-hike. It's so cooling and refreshing and not only does it feel good and relaxing sitting on the face, but as intended, this left my face calm and soothed and hydrated and it left my skin feeling so nice and happy after being out in the sun hiking up a mountain.

If you're needing something that's very hydrating and soothing and calming then I would recommend checking this out. It's got a great formula (see below) that works and doesn't disappoint.

VERDICT
June 13th, 2017: Usually modeling masks come in powder form and you have to add water to it or the included mixing agent to form the paste. This does not come in powder form, but rather a translucent gel that's got a rosy tint to it with a white milky liquid to mix. Because of that, this is less rubbery in texture and feels more like...slime. It "dries" down into slime...like the kids toy and I put the word dried in quotes because it retains a wet slippery feel to it. If you've ever played with slime then you know what I'm talking about. It's a solid, but it still feels very slippery and wet...but it's not.

Due to the gel like slime texture, this is very cooling and refreshing on the face, and because of that interesting texture I feel like it REALLY pushes the moisture into your skin and does an awesome job of hydrating your skin. Also, because it's not a powder that you're mixing with water, but rather two essence type formulas I feel like it's a more potent formula and therefore great to use as a more intensive masking session. This pink/purple variation is for hydration and brightening and it definitely hydrated and left my face with a nice healthy radiant glow afterwards.

Now, the directions instruct you to mix this together in the pill shaped container, but that is not practical as it's got a rounded bottom and does not stand up on it's own for you to squeeze the products out so I just used a separate mixing bowl. Also, I wasn't a fan of the included spatula. It works and does it's job, but I much prefer the spatula that I got in the Lindsay modeling mask kit. The edges on this spatula weren't the smoothest and therefore it was a little scratchy on the skin.

Because of the slippery wet gel formula, this was easier to remove than a traditional modeling mask, not that it's hard to begin with but a traditional modeling mask does leave behind a bit of residue. This formula however leaves no residue behind. It all just slips off the face really easily. Also, this does have a scent to it, but it's not overwhelming or overpowering and I didn't mind it in the least. I feel like it kind of wants to try and smell like roses, but it doesn't quite get there.

Anywho, overall I really enjoyed this mask. Do I prefer this over a traditional modeling mask though? Umm...I don't know. I do really love this modeling mask, but I also really love the Ettang powder modeling masks as well: https://ahnspired.blogspot.com/2016/04/ettang.html, so I think it would depend on how my skin is doing in that moment. I think if I felt my skin needed a more intensive treatment and was really needing some hydration than I would use this, whereas the Ettang mask, while also very hydrating, I would just use on a more regular basis to keep my skin happy and status quo.
