Hey my lovelies!
Today I have a fab review on a face mask that I trialed last week
First of all I would like to say thank you to Angela at Beauty Masks Ltd for asking me to review one
of their Fusion Series masks from their Timeless Truth-Facial Sheet Mask brand.
This post came about through the BHTwitterparty that happened a few weeks ago,
where a lot of bloggers chatted on Twitter and had the chance to see if any
companys would like to collaborate with them to do reviews. These Timeless
Truth Masks really stood out to me due to the fact there were a lot of masks to
suit skin type, and what the user wanted to get out of the treatment.
I decided to review the Charcoal Detox Brightening Mask RRP
£4.95. I think this is a good price if you wanted to do a fortnightly or
monthly treatment, but I don’t know if I would pay this weekly or even 3/4 times a week as is suggested.
The main reason for choosing this mask is that it is
described as having:
“A deep cleansing effect. It instantly brightens, smoothes,
firms and hydrates the skin”
My T-Zone gets oily and I enjoy using a charcoal mask
normally so I felt this was the best one to suit my skin and needs. In the
winter like many of us my skin gets so dull and just not good so the
brightening aspect really apealled to me, all in all I felt this mask had loads
of great benefits for my skin type.
There are many masks on offer including:
FUSION MASKS £4.95
These are fabric face shaped masks, that are impregnated
with the dehydrated product then packed in serum for freshness. This system
uses freeze dried product within the cloth which shows on the cloth mask as
coloured checks on one side of the mask.

Helps reduce fine lines and signs of ageing. Skin is nourished and moisturised.
2)
Deep Sea Water extract Moisurising Mask (Marine
Blue/Green) – Creates a moisturising effect and the algae extract helps
protects skin from free radical damage.
3)
Charcoal Detox Brightening Mask ( Black) – the
bamboo charcoal extract has a deep cleansing effect.
4)
Multipeptide Calming Revitalising Mask (Pink)-
this mask contains negative ions which increase circulation to relax muscles
which in turn help to reduce fine lines.
5)
Green Tea Phenol Soothing Mask (Green)- this
treatment helps prevent premature signs of ageing. The mask helps to fortify
the skin from oxidisation while regulating oily secretions.

3)

even skin tone and diminish of appearance of age spots and wrinkles.
ORGANIC SILK FIBRE ELIXIR MASK £8.85
This mask uses organic bear berry and algae to stimulate
cell production to improve the quality of the skins collagens and elastins
fibre.
The mask itself is in a foil sealed packet which needs to be
tore to open to keep it fresh. I thought this was a wonderful idea as it means
it will have a longer shelf life,but I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it the
minute the post man dropped it in!
It instructs you to cleanse your skin first so I used my old
faithful Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish to make sure my face was lovely and clean
before the goodness began. I opened the package and removed the mask, you have
to take off the plastic film and place the mask on your face darker side down.
When placing the mask on your face you need to smooth it
over the contours and make sure it has good contact with the face. If I am
honest I found this quite difficult as when I was trying to fit it around my
nose the chin bit would come away, and the nose bit was very difficult. I got
it on the best I could and settled down to watch the second half of Eastenders.
The mask states to leave it on for 15 to 20 mins then remove and massage the
excess serum into the skin, there is also serum left in the packet so make sure
and utilise this also!
I removed it and initially I didn’t see any difference, it
just felt as though I had a huge amount of a heavy serum on my face. I massaged
the excess serum on my face and then I did see a little difference in the
brightness of my skin. I decided to put the package into the fridge and use the
serum from the packet on my face the next morning.
I cleansed etc and instead of my normal daily serum I used
the excess mask serum then followed with my daily moisturiser.
I wasn’t going out that day so I didn’t put on any makeup
and I kept an eye on my skin throughout the day. To be honest I didn’t see a huge
difference the next day, but definitely that night there was the slightest
difference.
I loved the whole process of this mask, from the packet to
the serum the next day, but I don’t feel it would be something I would
incorporate regularly into my regime due to price, issue with keeping mask on
face and lack of results.
It was nice for a little bit of me time, and I would
consider trying other masks from the range in the future. The Miracle
Rejuvenation Mask might be one I would give a go due to its help with evening
skin tone.
Overall I would say give this mask a go or one of the others
more suited for your issues or skin type, it’s a little bit of luxury for a bit
of me time.
Thanks again to Angela for choosing me to trial this
