Bonvivant Mellow Clay Mask

As part of my last purchase from MemeBox, I received a free sample of Bonvicant Botanical Mellow Clay Mask.  I use brightening or clay mask twice a week so was excited to try a new one.  

The texture of the clay mask is softer than the Pure Body Naturals Dead Sea Mud Mask.  It's not as thick and feels a bit doughy.  It spreads well and I used only a very thin layer (which leaves plenty for future usage).  The clay dries within 20 minutes and upon wash with water does not leave the face too drying.  My face felt softer, clean, and my acne redness seem more subdue.  It's a good add to my beauty collection!

Directions: after double cleanse, apply a thin layer on the face.  Wash off after mask has dried.

Face Shop Lovely Me:ex Mini Pore Ghassoul Mask

With combination skin, I am always looking for products that can prevent acne and pores from clogging.  I was visiting New York a few years ago and found the first Face Shop store in the heart of Chinatown.  They have really cute products!  I decided to try their Lovely Me:ex Mini Pore Ghassoul Mask.  

The mask is made out of Moroccan Ghassoul clay that targets oily skin.  It is pretty thick and gray in color.  The mask is drying in nature and removes easily with water.   The skin does feel smooth after mask.  I didn't see a huge improvement in blackheads and still had a few whiteheads after usage.   The product also dried out after only 6 months in the container.   There are better clay mask out there including the Pure Body Naturals Dead Sea Mud Mask.

Directions: after cleansing, spread a thin layer all over face.  Wait for 15-20 minutes and wash off with lukewarm water.
