Today I bring you the Karuna Anti-Blemish Treatment Mask that I received in my May Beauty Army Kit (incidentally I ALSO received it as my mystery gift in my June kit – more on that in my June Beauty Army post). Anyway, as I’ve mentioned before I had not ever tried any sort of mask before last year and now I’m addicted. This is the first actual mask (like where you put something in the shape of a face on) that I’ve had the chance to try. I’ve seen these masks around on Hautelook before and have always been curious about them.
I’m not sure what I was expecting but this was not it… I guess I was thinking that it would be less gooey. This was gooey – almost gross gooey! So what you do is you take the mask out of the foil. There is a fabric like mask with a plastic like covering on one side. You are supposed to put the fabric side against your face and then peel off the plastic. and make sure the mask is smooth over your face and that your eyes and mouth are not covered. Then you sit back, relax and wait for a quarter of an hour.
Unlike the non fabric masks I’ve used, this one did not seem to change how it felt after time was up, it still felt as moist and gooey as when I first put it on. The mask was cool and refreshing, like slathering aloe on your face.
When I took it off my face was still very full of the liquid infused in the product. In the instructions it said to rub it into your face.
The next day my skin had fewer blemishes and felt quite amazing. I’d say this mask was pretty great.
Would I buy it again? If I felt like splurging sometime, yes!
Will I finish the sample? It was a one time use sample – so no.
Here’s the breakdown:
Sample Size: 1 Mask
Full Size: 4 Masks
Full Size Price: $28.00
Sample Value: $7.00

Apricots, today we will discuss apricots – or at least something that smells like them. I opened the little sample of the Ren Glycolactic tube and was hit with the scent of mashed apricots – it was amazing. The directions indicate you should apply it to clean dry skin, wait 10 minutes and then rub your face upwards to “lift” the dead skin that it has loosened, and then to wash it off with a damp cloth. Lots of people love this product and it is supposed to be good for people who have sensitive skin. I tried it. I felt some tingling, but no more than when I use my black soap. When I took it off my face was a touch red, just like it normally is after I’ve rubbed something off – the thing is, this red did not go away for over 12 hours. That is not normal, and that is not the typical results I have heard of from others who have used it. I think there must be something that my skin just didn’t like about this product.
