I was tempted to do a tongue in cheek post reviewing the food but I think lots of you would well and truly be put off my blog so I decided against it.
Hopefully you have all had a better week than me.
As you know I love pampering products but I don't generally follow the hype. Hence I have not purchased a GlamGlow face mask until now. I wanted the dust to settle to see what people still thought about it when the hype had died down. The praise and awards for the brand don't seem to have relented so I thought it was time to give it a go and see what all the fuss was about.
As I have sensitive skin I wanted to try a face mask that would be kinder to my dry skin, I opted for GlamGlow Powermud Dualcleanse 50g £49.99. The mask is a luxurious mud to oil formula which having been using the Deep Cleansing Oil 200ml £21.50 appealed. The mask claims to...
The packaging for the GlamGlow Powermud is an eye catching lime green triangle.
The jar follows the same tonal ranges in colour. It contain a complex of four deep cleansing oils: prickly pear oil, pine oil, Frankincense oil and Myrrh oil.
I found the mask to be nourishing and it gave my skin a deep cleanse. Overall I liked the way that the treatment made my skin feel, it was great at removing makeup build up and the microbeads helped to remove dead skin.
I certainly couldn't use it more than once a week as it would be too drying but overall I really liked what it did for my skin. I like to try new face masks so when it has have run out I will be trying another one in the range.

What is your favourite face mask?
Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that you've been in hospital. I hope it wasn't anything serious!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to try that mask but I could never spend that much on one!

I agree that it is on the pricier side but it does last quite a while and given that I can only use it once a week it will last a while. Lucy x
DeleteI'm sorry to hear you were in hospital Lucy, I hope you're getting better (and eating nicer food now!) This sounds so lovely, and I love all the attention to detail on the packaging. My favourite mask is the Una Brennan clay mask, it's so good at calming down breakouts :) xx

The packaging is beautiful and very eye catching. I haven't tried the Una Brennan mask but love clay based so will have to give this a go. Especially if it calms breakouts Lucy x
DeleteLucy, so sorry to hear you weren't well. I hope you're feeling better. I have the Glamglow original mask and whilst I think it works, I agree that it feels quite drying

It is a great product but definitely can't use to often as is drying Lucy x
DeleteLucy, I certainly would have loved the tongue in cheek review of the hospital food. I'm sorry you were there to begin with, but it's good that you are still able to find some humor in regards to the food. This mask looks interesting. I haven't really tried out a cleansing oil, so I find it interesting that it turns into that with water.
ReplyDeleteAh if I knew you would have found it funny I would have include. Cleansing oils that I have tried I have been impressed with, I thought they would be oily but the opposite is true they did wonders for my skin. Lucy x
DeleteOh Lucy, sorry to hear you had to be in the hospital! As bad as hospitals are in general, I cannot imagine enduring the awful food as a foodie! Yes, here in America the food is awful.
ReplyDeleteI am doing a post within the next few weeks about GlamGlow masks. I've yet to try this one. Will definitely give it a go after reading your post!
Here's to a better week lovely! xx
ooh look forward to reading yours, I need to try the others. This one is great at getting rid of all the rubbish on the face but I definitely couldn't use too often Lucy x
DeleteI have really dry sensitive skin so have been unsure which Glamglow mask to try out. I've not seen this green one around before, I've been looking at trying the blue one :)

I have the same type of skin so you definitely need to consider which one to get, they are quite strong but it got rid of all my dead skin and felt better afterwards. I did have rosy cheeks though Lucy x
DeleteOh no! Poor you :( I hope you're feeling all better now. I haven't done a face mask for ages and I really should. I've got a salon facial coming up (my first for years) so hopefully that will get rid of all the really bad stuff then I can maintain my skin with some home masks etc. This product looks great, I love the look of the ingredients list
ReplyDeleteA salon facial sounds wonderful, doing home masks afterwards would be great for maintaining the benefits Lucy x
DeleteOh no! Sorry to hear that you were in the hospital, that's terrible :(
ReplyDeleteI love cleansing mud masks and how they make my skin feel squeaky clean after each use. My favorite is the Borghese Active Fango Mud Mask, but I'd like to try different brands after I'm done with my current jar. Glad to hear you had a good experience with the GlamGlow!

Thank you I haven't tried Borghese but it sounds great if it is a mud mask these are the best of bringing my skin back to life. Lucy x
DeleteSorry to hear you're not well Lucy, I hope you have someone to look after you, take care, xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you Cate. I'm being well look after. I hope that you are now settled in your new home Lucy x
