FACE MASK FRIDAY: MASQUEBAR BLACK GOLD COLLECTION

March 15, 2019 in BEAUTY, FACE MASK FRIDAY
masquebar black gold collection review

It’s Face Mask Friday time! The masks that I’m talking about today are from the new masqueBAR Black Gold Collection – a very chic range of three single-use masks. There are two sheet masks and one peel off mask.

The masks in the new collection, as you will have probably guessed from the name, contain charcoal and 24K gold; both of which are thought to have significant skincare benefits.

The first sheet mask is a standard fibre sheet mask, but is infused with 24K gold flakes. I don’t think gold delivered via this method will actually have a skin brightening effect, but it looks pretty and makes you feel like you are really pampering yourself. The charcoal powder helps to draw out impurities from the skin, and other ingredients such as Glycerin, Pearl Extract and Bamboo Leaf, means this mask will leave your skin feeling and looking cleaner, more refreshed, radiant, plump, soft and hydrated. I like this mask and it’s one I would use again, but at £3.99, it’s not anywhere near the top of the list of masks that I would reach for first I’m afraid.masquebar black gold sheet mask reviewThe second sheet mask is a gold foil version of the fibre sheet mask. One side (the outer side) is covered with a cool-looking gold foil; thought to stop any of the serum from evaporating so that more is absorbed by the skin. It’s very much like the other mask, but this one feels a bit more soothing on the skin – probably from the Linseed (a calming, anti-inflammatory flax seed) and is redness-reducing Lavender Flower Water ingredients. It’s the same price (£3.99) and I think it works more efficiently than the fibre mask. If you have a choice of the two, go for this one.

The third mask in the collection comes in a multi-use tube (£9.99), or a single-use sachet. It’s a peel-off mask, and whilst I am not a fan of these (they are terrible for your skin), this one is gentler in removing than most others I’ve tried. It’s important to just apply this to a couple of areas of your face where clogged pores are most visible, NOT your whole face. A little bit on your chin or over your nose is fine. The charcoal will draw out what’s in your pores, leaving them clean when you peel off the mask. It also contains cellulose and Hibiscus Flower Extract to draw toxins from the skin. I don’t have clogged pores, so it s hard for me to test this. I also can’t comment on the brightening effect of the gold, as I would never apply this to the areas of the face where you would most notice this effect. For a peel-off mask, it’s quite gentle; which is more than I can say for most of them.

You can get these new masqueBAR masks online from ASOS. Let me know what you think if you try them!

PR sample — Happy #texturetuesday 🥳 This is t PR sample — Happy #texturetuesday 🥳 This is the brilliant new scalp treatment from @tresemmeuk - you get hair posts 2 days in a row! The Tresemme Purify & Hydrate Exfoliating Pre Shampoo Scrub is currently half price in Superdrug for just £3.02!
💆🏻‍♀️
This scrub is helping my hair to last longer between washes as my problem is that my roots get greasy fairly quickly. It does take a while to rinse out, but it’s worth that extra effort. The exfoliant is coconut shells! It also has menthol in it which is really refreshing & awakening in the morning.
💆🏻‍♀️
Adding this into my routine before a hydrating shampoo really deeply cleans my roots and stops them getting oily so fast, meaning that my roots and ends progress at the same dirtiness pace!

PR sample — You’ll have seen a lot of this pro PR sample — You’ll have seen a lot of this product over the last couple of weeks & it’s for good reason. It very much is, indeed, a miracle. In just 8 seconds, as your conditioner, this will give you the smoothest, sleekest, softest hair you’ve ever had. I’ve just ordered 2 more bottles.
🙌🏻
The L’Oreal Dream Lengths 8-Second Wonder Water is £9.99 and you’ll get no more than 10 applications per bottle, but it sure is ‘worth it’. Wonder Water is a breakthrough damaged hair treatment, in a rinse-out liquid conditioner formula that’s powered by Lamellar Water Technology. Moisturising agents and amino acids target dry, damaged areas of hair, forming thin layers called Lamella to smooth hair’s surface instantly transforming lengths for silkier, shinier and healthier-looking hair. 
🙌🏻
I’m honestly not sure I’ll ever use another conditioner again. You need it, go buy it. Now, now, now!

The Oskia Renaissance Mask is a cult favourite & I’ve loved it for years. It’s a thick lush balm that you lather on your face, leaving it for 20 mins to do it’s amazing exfoliation & radiance-boosting work. The Kora Organics Noni Bright Vitamin C Serum brightens, boosts skin elasticity, diminishes the appearance of lines and hydrates the skin too.
