YES!
YES!
I
used a sample sachet of this two nights ago and ever since then, I have been thinking
of (obsessing more like it) how I can get a full sized product of this one in
the most cost-efficient way. It isn’t available here in Philippines and I don’t
want to spend on customs duties (which sometimes get ridiculously exorbitant!).
Anyway, will work this out.***
ENJOYABLE
TO USE
This
mask comes in a form of orange gel. I
didn’t get the feeling of gel though because when spread over the face, it
really felt more like thick honey (the thickness you get when honey has been
placed in the fridge). Although it was
thick and a bit sticky, it was easy to evenly cover my face with it. The scent
of oranges and citrus made it so energizing, refreshing and awakening. It was
comfortable to wear—both the texture and the scent. You can carry a
conversation with anyone—as opposed to masks that force you to communicate
through tight lips or through holes. You can wear your eyeglasses with it. At least, I did.
The
product instructs you to have it on for 5 minutes after which you are to
massage it in and rinse off. I wore mine for 30 minutes because after looking
at the clock to check the initial time, I actually forgot to check back in. It
was that comfortable! The massaging phase
needed a bit of elbow grease, though, because it got stickier at this point. I
liked how it rinses off milky white. The gel turns to “milk” when it gets in
contact with water so it’s easy to know when you’ve thoroughly washed it off.
EXCEEDED
EXPECTATIONS
When
I dried off, I saw the most amazing results ever! I didn’t even know that I
could be so bold as to describe my skin as beautiful, smooth and soft when, less
than an hour ago, it was a mess! (Had three big hormonal zits, countless
blocked pores on my nose; roughness and more pores.) Also, I now know what it
means to have radiant skin. I have always ignored the term “radiant skin,”
chalking it under empty, meaningless, marketing speak. But man oh man! My skin
was unbelievably radiant! Alive and healthy! I could not stop caressing it. I let my husband
touch my face. Let my kids see it. Yes, the zits and some pores were still
visible. But. But! I don’t know how it managed to do this but my skin looked
dewy (but it was dry to the touch), almost all pores smoothened out, my fine lines
blurred. I remember getting my hand held mirror just to take a closer look and
yes, I had seen right the first time. This is such a miracle worker!
Like
I mentioned, my skin wasn’t at its best before use. So I wasn’t expecting
anything really, at least nothing over and beyond what I normally would have
for a face mask. I mean, I have tried all sorts of masks: clay, cloth, mud,
overnight gel masks, egg, tomato, placenta, snail…name the formulation, chances
are, yup, I’ve done it. Am I glad I was
curious enough to check out this orange goop!
NOTE
TO SELF:
I
will try samples ASAP! I will use them before leaving the city I am visiting so
the option to purchase is still available! I was given this sachet, together
with all the other free samples, when I shopped at a Parapharmacie in Paris 2
years ago. It wasn’t until a couple of days ago that I got around to trying
it.

Can’t
wait for my sister’s trip to Paris!!! I’m hoping by the end of March, I shall
have had a tub of this orange goodness! After all, I still need to see how
consistent the results are and how my skin will take to it in the long run.
