Freeman Facial Mask Reviews

Facial masks have easily become one of my favorite things to use after a long day. It's nice to treat yourself to a mini at home spa and these masks are perfect for that. If you're interested in purchasing these masks, I've found Walgreens.com to have the best selection. Here are the masks that I currently own:

I've tried a few others but it's been a while and they were only the individual packets that I found at Walmart. I would recommend just buying the full sized mask because it's going to be cheaper that way. Each individual packets costs $1.00-$1.99 for one use. The full sized tube costs $3.99 and you could easily get 20+ uses from each tube. Just something to think about when purchasing. Anyways, onto the actual review...

Picture to show you the actual mask.

Acai, Dead Sea Mineral, and Avocado & Oatmeal all perform the same to me. They all refresh your skin, don't dry you out, and makes your skin feel soft. They all are very thick, apply evenly, and dry quickly. The quick drying aspect is really important to me. I don't want to wait around for ages for a facial mask to dry. It may just be my skin type but I honestly, can't tell a difference. So when I repurchase masks from them again, I will be going by scent. I definitely would recommend these masks and will be repurchasing in the future!

As for the Cucumber Peel Off Mask, I'm torn. This masks has its pros and its cons. Its pros are: it is fun to peel off and it moisturizes your skin. The cons are: it is too thick, hard to get out of hair/eyebrows, long dry time, can be oily afterwards, and it smells like pickles. It's really fun to peel off and does moisturize your skin. However, it is really hard to apply evenly and can take a long time to dry. It's extremely thick and feels like you are applying glue to your face. This can cause the drying time to extend. You also must avoid your hairline or eyebrows for this to be easy to use. Once it is in your hair, it doesn't want to come out. It can be a real pain in the butt. For those reasons, I wouldn't recommend this mask.

So what do you think of these masks? Which one do you want to try/which one is your favorite?

Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque Review

Before I had decided to purchase this product, I was super excited. I've heard many beauty gurus on Youtube rave about this product. So when I finally found it at Walgreens, I snatched it up. Now I'm hear to tell you today about what I think of this mask.

Likes:

  • Smells good - It's very minty and is quite lovely.
  • Dries quickly - Very important, don't want to wait around for a mask to dry.
  • Affordable - I bought this bottle for less than $6 at Walgreens.
  • Refreshing -  It makes your skin feel super clean, doesn't dry it out, and makes your face feel refreshed. 
Dislikes:
  • Burns - This tingles on your face and even burns a little. Not painful but just uncomfortable.
  • Benefits - I've used this several times now and haven't noticed any of it's claims. I haven't noticed it help clear pores, dry acne, or get rid of blackheads.


So have you tried this mask? What are your thoughts?
