My Experience
You're supposed to pour water until the given line on the pack but it's actually hard to gauge because the packaging is not transparent. Anyway, this is a single-use pack but there's so much product inside! Using the spatula included, I counted about 8 scoops of powder. It looks like it will create a lot of leftovers so I halved the mixture. |
| Love the spatula tbh - I kept it for powder clay masks |
 |
| Tada. I use the flat side for mixing. |
I applied the mixture first on my forehead and as you can see, it looks pretty great. Next, I applied some on my cheeks, nose and then my mouth area. There still a bit left on my bowl so I decided to put it on my mouth area to reduce waste. Not recommended - the mask has started drying and it roughed up the even texture. If you want to put everything on your face, you must apply it fast and make sure you don't go over the same spot twice.

I removed the mask after a total of 35 minutes on my face. The thicker parts were so easy to remove but you need more effort for the thinner ones. There's bits and pieces left so I used a damp towel to remove all the residue.
I get why they say you must apply thick layers. The mouth area where I applied quite thinly was the first part that disintegrated. The thin edges got lighter, cracked and fell off when it dried up but the thicker parts stayed yellow and looked rubbery. Apply thickly, guys!

Results
Love the immediate effects I can see and feel after taking the mask off - my skin looks mattified but it's still bright and feels super soft! The hydration lasts long too. My skin still feels supple & moisturized the next morning. Thumbs up!
Verdict
Like I said in the beginning, the biggest con of modeling masks is the mess. This may not be for people who just want to relax and skip the whole process of mixing, applying plus cleaning up.
Personally, I think this is a good mask to try every now and then. It's affordable too. I got mine for only a hundred pesos and even if I didn't split the pack in two, the results are still worth the price. This takes more effort than regular sheet masks but as the saying goes, "Pag may tiyaga, may nilaga." Overall, would repurchase and recommend!
