[Review] Elizavecca Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask

As seen on my previous post, I finally have an update for all you pretty readers. Today I'll be doing a review on the Elizavecca Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask! I know this mask have been in the market for a while now and I'm only doing the review now but I do have a reason! LOL! My skin wasn't in the greatest condition when this mask was released. Now that my skin is in a better condition, I'll be trying it out!

Do take note that this product is NON HALAL!


Elizavecca Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask. With the hype going on around the beauty industry, let's see if its really that great of a product.

Packaging
- It comes in a small grey container.
- 100 ml worth of product.
- I quite like the simple packaging and the piggy with the mask on. LOL!
- The expiry date and manufactured date can be found on the bottom of the container.



Inside
- It has a small spatula and a tight plastic lid over the mask.


Texture before applying.
- It's a greyish slimy cream type mask.
- It's like jello.
- It's so fun to look at! XD

Beneficial ingredient:

As the product page stated, this mask contains Green Tea extract, Pomegranate extract, Charcoal Powder, Collagen, Glycerin.

Here are the full ingredients:

Purified Water, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, White Clay, Acrylate Copolymer, Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, Methyl Perfluorobutyl Ether, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Lauramide DEA, TEA-Cocoyl Glutamate, Green Tea Extracts, Glycerine, Dipropylene Glycol, Bentonite, Collagen, Charcoal Powder, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Flavouring Agents, Carbonated Water, Xanthan Gum, Disodium EDTA, Allantoin, Butylene Glycol, Lavender Extracts, Monarda Didyma Leaf Extracts, Peppermint Leaf Extracts, Freesia Leaf Extracts, Chamomile Flower Extracts, Rosemary Leaf Extracts

Charcoal Powder
It pulls out dirt and oil from pores.

Green Tea Extract
Soothes sensitive skin

Glycerin
Anti Ageing treatments
Used in acne treatments
Helps to retain skin moisture

What the product claims to do:

- The carbonated bubble unclog pores and removes dead skin.
- The carbonated bubble helps to stimulate the skin to bring out a healthy glow.
- Removes black head.

How to use:


Step 1.

- Pick up mask with the spatula provided.


Step 2.

- Apply it all over face. Work fast. Trust me, if you work slowly the foam will start forming before you even finish covering your face. 
- Spread it evenly.
- Wait and see the magic happen.


Within 20 seconds, small fine bubble will start forming. It's so interesting watching the bubbles form. 


1 minute after application. As you can see the bubbles started forming, you can hear the bubbling fizzy happening around your skin. 

You can feel the tingling sensation around your whole face as the bubble keeps growing.


Step 3.

After 5 - 10 minutes, run fingers under warm water and rub onto skin. Massage for a minute and wash your face as you would with a cleanser.


Texture after applying

It's not what I expected. I initially thought that the bubbles would be fine and soft but it's actually sticky. It turns into a soapy feel once massaged with warm water.

Scent

I'm not quite sure what the smell is but it smells like a sweet fruity smell. Not too bad.

Personal opinion

Once applied, you can feel a tingly sensation just like drinking sprite or coke. I have a very sensitive skin so I was hesitating whether to try on this product or not. However, thank god my skin did not react badly to the mask. I did not get any redness or itch on my face. It has the same feeling as dipping your face into carbonated water.

However! It is a hassle washing it off. It is sooo hard to wash the mask off. It's slippery and foamy, I had to use cotton wipes to remove the clay off my skin. So I think using it before shower will be a better idea. 

It is worth the hype?

To be honest, it's worth playing around with this mask because it's so much fun watching the mask grow 5x its original size but in terms of helping the skin, I don't think so.

Does it do what it claims?

To be honest, I don't think the mask does what it claims to do. Removes black head? Neh, I don't think so. Gives a healthy glow? Hmmm, not really. Removes dead skin and dirt? Maybe? Not that sure, maybe I have to use it more often to see it's effect.

PROS
- Smells great
- Decent amount of product for its price
- Fun to play with.

CONS
- Might not be suitable for dry skin or very sensitive skin.
- Not much effect on skin.
- Overrated product to be honest.

Price

I bought it for RM40 during sales in Hermo.

Where to purchase?

Hermo - HERE
Amazon - HERE
YESSTYLE - HERE

Ratings

Price - 4/5 
Pretty worth it during sales

Size - 4/5 
I guess it's a decent amount at 100ml

Hygiene - 2/5 
I don't really like things in a jar. I prefer it to be in a tube but I guess for this product it works better being in a tub.

Packaging - 3.5/5
I like the simple package but not the colour.

Claims - 2/5
Not really feeling it for this clay mask.

Will I repurchase this product?

I don't think I will be repurchasing this product. It's worth the hype though, watching the bubble form and the tingling sensation is pretty cool. However, coming down to the benefits, I don't think it I like it that much but I do prefer the Innisfree Super Volcanic Clay Mask. 

Originality Check


On the box, you will get a seal with a QR Code and numbers to check for originality. Gently scrape the silver part to reveal 16 numbers to check.



*Beware of imitation Elizavecca products.

That's it for my first impression/review for my first product from Elizavecca. The above review is not sponsored by anybody and it is all my personal opinion on the Elizavecca Carbonated Clay mask.

[Review] The Body Shop Tea Tree Face Mask.

Welcome back to my blog peeps.. This time, it's gonna be the review for everyone out there with acne/pimple problems, it's the Tea Tree mask from The Body Shop! Upon hearing great benefits of Tea Tree, I've decided to drop by Body Shop to get the Tea Tree Mask. Check out what I found out below~~

Benefits of Tea Tree:

- Antiseptic and Anti-Bacterial properties.
- Natural ingredient extracted from the Melaleuca Tea Tree.
- Ideal for acne-prone skin and other skin disorders such as eczema or redness.
-Able to treat the pimples without irritating the skin.


Tea Tree Face Mask

- Suitable for blemished skin
- Instantly cools and lifts away impurities. 

Descriptions.

This instantly cooling face mask cleanses, soothes and refreshes the skin.

- Helps to remove impurities.
- Absorbs excess oil.
-Soothes skin.


It's ingredients can be seen as above picture. Organic Tea Tree oil from Kenya.


Mask.

- As you can see, the mask comes in a can in a clay form. It appears to be greenish in colour.

Texture.

-The texture of the mask appears to be soft and light yet watery therefore making it easy to apply unlike other mud/clay mask that are hard and difficult to apply. 

- When applied, it does not dry out your face entirely like how usual mud/clay mask. You will not feel any discomfort if you happen to leave the mask on longer than the expected time. 

Smell.

The scent of the mask appears to be minty and fresh of Tea which I find relaxing. Not everyone might find the smell pleasant but the smell does not linger around for long, it disappears after a while. It is still tolerable.

Suitable for:

- Oily Skin
- Acne Prone skin
- Pimples
- Combination Skin




Directions.

- Apply mask after your normal night routine in the direction of Cleansing - Toning - Mask - Wash off - Moisturize. 

- Apply a generous amount onto face and neck by scooping it with a spatula then applying it onto your face with fingertips instead of poking your finger into the jar which might transfers bacterial into your mask which may contaminate the whole can.
- Leave mask on for 10-15 minutes, then wash it off with water, use a cleansing sponge or wet towel to help remove it. 

- Upon first time using it, you might feel a tingling sensation on your skin from the cooling sensation of the mask. 

 If you are super sensitive, please do try on a small area to check for sensitivity. If pain or redness occur on skin, discontinue usage and rinse off immediately. 

- If you do not want to use this mask on your whole face, you can apply a small amount on pimple/acne after applying your moisturizer and leave it on overnight. It helps to reduce the swelling, redness or even dries out an erupting pimple from what I have experienced. 


Comments.

I have tried on this mask for a few months now and I love the cooling sensation when applied. I personally do not recommend the mask if you are looking for a product to treat acne but get the Tea Tree oil which contains a higher concentration which is also available from Body Shop. 

If you are looking for a mask that refreshes your skin, this is the mask to purchase. 

Ratings 8/10.

The product itself did a great job on drying out erupting pimples so its a thumbs up for me. 

Will I purchase it again if I run out of the current one?
Yes only when it's under promotion.
