Face Mask Mondays #4

 

This instalment features perhaps my favourite Montagne Jeunesse mask so far. This Strawberry Soufflé moisturising and purifying masque is of a thin consistency, with pink beads, similar to a gentle exfoliator.

 

 

 

Very gentle on the skin, the mask has cleansing properties and initially leaves the skin feeling very smooth. After the mask has been washed off it seems to bring out any impurities in the skin right to the surface. Although a little drying, this mask was lovely to use, leaving the skin feeling soft and fresh, it is winning as my favourite so far. With strawberry extracts and whipped cream, you can only imagine how amazingly scented this mask is, and I just could not get enough!

 

 

 

Have you tried any of these Montagne Jeunesse masks so far?

 

 

 

Face Mask Mondays #3

Running a bit late with this one! Sorry guys! The third instalment of face mask Mondays brings the Montagne Jeunesse Virgin Olive mask which  has been a lovely experience. With extracts of olive oil and Shea butter, this mask claims to leave your skin super smooth and deeply cleansed.

 

 

Shortly after removing the mask my skin was left feeling smooth and a little glowy. I did notice however, that it seemed to bring up a few spots (out of nowhere) and although an unpleasant surprise, it was much better than sitting around lurking in my skin. For me, this reinforced the claims that the mask did actually cleanse the skin and help remove dirt particles and any upcoming spots. Although my skin was feeling soft and smooth for a while after, just like with mask #1, this feeling did not last very long. The mask did feel ideal for my skin type (normal to dry) and I enjoyed using a lot so I would happily repurchase it.

Face Mask Mondays #2

 

This week's instalment of Mask Mondays presents the Montagne Jeunesse Hot Chocolate, cocoa and orange, pore cleansing masque with self heating properties.

 

Shortly after coming in contact with the skin, the mask instantly graces you with a lovely warm sensation. Deceptively, the mask is nothing like the colour on the packaging, as it is a rich chocolatey colour, not orange. With the mask feeling lovely and warm it was all too easy to relax away and lose track of time, so both times I used it I ended up keeping it on longer than I should have done. Not as gentle as mask #1, this Hot Chocolate goodness felt a little drying and left my skin feeling very tight.

Although I enjoyed using this mask it became quite clear that it is not very suitable for my skin type. There is still some left in the sachet and this time I'll make sure I do not keep it on for longer than 10 minutes, maybe it will not be as drying?

Have you used this mask before? Would love to know what you thought!

Face Mask Mondays

One of my New Year's resolutions which was getting severely neglected was to improve my skincare routine, about time I start working on that! Whilst having a clearout over the weekend I found a bunch of these Montagne Jeunesse face masks which I'd completely forgotten about. From now on, the next 8 or 9 Mondays will become 'Face Mask Mondays', where each week I will reveal a mask from my collection and let you know how I got on.

 

The first instalment is the wonderful 'Very Berry Ultra Moisturising and Cleansing Mask', containing blueberry and cranberry extract, with the most deeeeelicious scent. The formulae is of a lovely screamy consistency, pinky purple in colouring.

The mask nourished and cleansed, leaving the skin wonderfully soft. Overall - I was impressed! Although feeling a little uncomfortable when drying, but I guess you will get that with any mask of such sort, it left my skin feeling super smooth and fresh. Easy to apply and remove this mask was a pleasure to play with and I would happily repurchase it.

 

Score - 9/10 (the smooth and soft feel didn't last as long as I would have liked it to)
