So today, I'm going to try my hand at a beauty review.
I'd seen reviews for this mud mask for months before I bought it. The reason why I waited was because it is SEVENTY DOLLARS normally. That's right. $70.
However, I found it on Amazon for a mere $30. The miracle of Prime, baby!
But anywho. This is the GlamGlow Supermud Clearing Treatment! It comes in this super snazzy white and silver container that feels really sturdy. It feels as if it is made of glass.
The point of this mask is to remove the oils and blackheads. (M: "You don't even have blackheads. You just have a spending problem." Me: "Shut your whore mouth.") There is all this technical mask mumbo jumbo that I could pretend to understand, but I don't. It goes on a dark charcoal, and you're supposed to put on a very thin layer. As it dries, it turns a light grey color. As you see in the picture below, there are going to be darker flecks as it dries. It's almost a solid color then.
However, here is the cool part. As it dries and sits for a while, little dark spots start to appear. That's where it is pulling oil out of your pores! Have you ever used one of those pore strips on your nose? Where you rip it off, and it pulls all the crap out (along with half of your skin)? They are so gross, but SO COOL. (Don't judge me. If you tried it, you'd understand.)
This is the same way. Seeing all those little grey spots make me feel like its working, and that is the best thing that you can find in a product, man. You can see it below in the picture of my nose. (Sorry for the TMI.)
When you first put it on, it tingles a little, like it has peppermint in it or something. There isn't a burn though. I have very sensitive skin, and it didn't bother me at all.
Best of all, it was super easy to wash off. It's not thick in consistency at all in the jar, and when you go to wash it off, it returns to it's original state. It's pretty fantastic.
All in all, if you have Prime and some money for splurging? Buy this. Seriously. Especially if you have oily skin or blackheads. I wouldn't pay $70 for it, but its worth the $30. Pay for what you get!
May the force be with you,
DB

I've used something similar to that before, with the peppermint and everything. It felt so good!
