GLAMGLOW Tingling & Exfoliating Mud Mask (Glymm Box)

Hey everyone! I decided to make a new post about the product I tried out from my February Glymm Box.

I currently have the GLAMGLOW mask on my face. On the Glymm card, it says "Lights, Camera, Action! Designed for Hollywood's entertainment industry, it tingles, tightens & lightens in 15 minutes, so you're always camera-ready. Volcanic rock, French Sea Clay and real pieces of Green Tea Leaf will give you super sexy, super radiant skin."

The product we got was a sample size which was 7 ml (0.24 oz) and the actual product is 50 ml (for $78).

The consistency of this product was a bit liquidy (I thought it would be a lot more *thick* since it says it is clay)  but it is quite chunky with the bits and pieces in it. Because it was liquidy, the application was a bit difficult. I couldn't create a uniform thickness layer on my skin. I noticed in a picture I took with my phone that I actually missed a few spots on my face.. lol! The product actually dried pretty quickly. It comes out as a dark grey/green colour and it is now a pale grey/green colour which chunks of tea leaves and granules. The smell is absolutely divine! That is, if you like green tea!

I used almost the whole sample size and the picture I will be posting is how much coverage I got. I think if I applied it where I missed my spots and covered my face completely (like how I usually do it with LUSH masks), I would've probably used the whole sample. I was hoping it would last me two tries, but I see that it's not possible now!

It has to be on for 15 minutes, and hence why I'm writing the post right now. I can definitely feel it tightening up on my face (but to me, that is no different from any other mask I've used). My skin is starting to feel a little bit itchy right now, but I do find myself a little bit sensitive to products sometimes. I had a bit of an outbreak of acne on my forehead and I used a whitehead/blackhead picker to take out the sebaceous things so I hope this mask closes up my pores.

Okay, timer went off. Time to wash this mask off and reveal some "super sexy, super radiant skin" haha.

My skin definitely seems smoother and I still got some bumpies on my head haha. You're supposed to scrub & exfoliate while washing it off. It kind of spattered all over my sink area. I think it's because when you add the water, it goes back to that liquidy form it was in before. Well, in any case my skin feels great!

I just wish the sample size was a bit bigger so that I could try it a few more times.

I'll upload my mask picture tomorrow because I have my MMI for DH tomorrow morning.... in 9 or so hours so I really should be sleeping.

Thanks for reading :)
