If you're a make-up and skincare lover like I am, odds are that you’ve sat in awe and watched the cool demonstrations of the magnetic face masks on YouTube. Magnetic face masks have become extremely popular all over YouTube and look like they are magic. Do they actually work or is it just an attention grabber?
I will be testing the mask below, that you can find at your local Sephora.
When I watched some of the demonstrations on YouTube of people applying the mask and having issues spreading it on their face, I thought that wouldn't happen to me. But, this product does not apply easily at all. It’s very thick and when you try to apply it, it tries to lift up in areas it was already applied to as you spread it out. Honestly, there’s nothing else that I can compare this to. It was definetly an experience. It doesn't apply evenly, and I honestly had to use a large amount of the tube to cover my whole face, it looks like I can only get one more use out of the $75 tube.
I had to clean off the magnet several times before being able to get my entire face clean. It was very time consuming, and a huge mess!
After removing the visible magnetic mask from the face, it leaves behind this soft, silky, oil-like residue that you rub into your face. I haven’t felt any type of oil like this before to compare it to. It wasn't heavy or uncomfortable feeling, just hydrating and felt like I was at my own spa. It took almost three hours for the oil to soak into my face, so if I were you trying out this mask I would give yourself plenty of time!
Final Impression: Would I repurchase?
Is this mask a gimmick or does it do what it claims?
The experience of the mask is honestly pretty cool. It smells like the spa, and it feels great applying it to the face as well as after taking it off. However, I honestly don’t believe it's worth $75 due to the amount of product you get in the tube, the mess it causes, and it generally just being over hyped. There’s only enough product in the jar for approximately 2 or 3 uses at max. Contrast that to the GlamGlow mask that I reviewed on my blog last week, I usually get almost 10 uses out of a regular sized GlamGlow mask container at a similar, if even cheaper price point.
I didn’t notice any significant results that made me believe it did something for my skin. Although my skin felt soft and nice immediately after removing the mask, that usually happens with any mask, even a $3 drugstore one. It isn't hard to find those same results with a mask no where near the price of this one. With my go-to face masks, even the cheaper ones, I notice a healthy looking glow to my skin afterwards but with this one I noticed nothing.
I believe we’re seeing this mask as well as other masks that are magnetic, rise in popularity because of the gimmicky magnet. I also have questions about the ingredients in this mask. It makes me wonder how healthy it could possibly be to apply something to the face that is magnetic. I usually like to see a list of ingredients that are known to achieve results. But these ingredients I've never heard of, nor want to put on my face regularly.
All in all, I defineitly wont be repurchasing this mask and I also don’t recommend. If you’re on a budget and have high hopes for this mask to do wonders, it doesn't.
