queen helene mint julep masqueSo tonight I finished my 8 oz tube of this mask… err, “masque”. I bought this mask hoping that it would “dry up acne pimples, rinse away blackheads and even help shrink enlarged pores”. I didn’t make that up, that was written on the tube. And I’m sad to say that this product did not live up to my expectations.

It did not shrink my pores nor did it rinse away blackheads. The only redeeming value of this mask is it is indeed minty. And cheap. So why didn’t I toss this right away? Well, besides feeling guilty for wasting money on such bad product, I thought I could “repurpose” it by using it as a cleanser instead. So once a week, I used it as a deep cleanser, making sure I rinsed off every last bit. That was the only way I could finish it, and I’m glad I did.

Ferget it! Even at its cheap $3.99 price, I cannot justify repurchasing this mask. But if you have the sudden urge to feel cool and minty fresh, you can purchase it at your local drugstore. Or for a much cheaper alternative, try rubbing a bit of toothpaste on your skin instead.
