Hello again!
Every time I come back from Malaysia, I always have a huge bunch of beauty products haul. If the custom officers were to stop me, I am not sure they would believe it is all for me, myself and I!! Even B can't believe that. And my face can't believe that. Albeit it is a different kind of disbelief altogether. All for me? Why Thank YOU~!
As my face mature, and other mental aspect... not so much, I have noticed enlarged facial pores Gah!! And bigger pores means bigger blackheads, means noticeable white heads, means shinier face, means my life is ruined!! *pulls face down* So I kept my eye peeled for a good quality mud mask. Hence, my stumble upon GlamGlow SUPERMUD!
According to the long pamphlet, even bigger than the actual jar of product itself cleverly hidden within the big box:
'The world's most scientifically advanced SUPERMUD Clearing Treatment, clinically developed by GLAMGLOW Dermatological Chemist to help fight all common skin concerns. Leave on for 5-20 minutes. NEW ACNECIDIC-6 4.4%, NEW PORE-MATRIX, BIO-LIFE-CELL-SCIENCE & NEW TEAOXI will TARGET, PREVENT & HEAL for Crazy Gorgeous Skin.'
'Pores. Problem Skin. Blemishes. Pimples. Breakouts. Zits. Spots. Black Heads. White Heads. Razor Bumps. In-Grown Hair'
Acnecidc-6 4.4% - the world's first clearing treatment with a proprietary 6 acid blend. AHA & BHA acids are perfectly PH balanced for mind-blowing faster results. i.e. Glycolic, Salicylic, Lactic, Mandelic, Pyruvic and Azelaic.
Pore matrix - Activated-X Charcoal is an extreme absorption carbon, attracting toxic substances into its mass up to 500 times its volume from all skin types, within the deepest & toughest areas. Our new proprietary K17-Clay will better extract & encapsulate excess sebum oils, bacteria & toxins in a controlled stasis state, revealing a Pore-matrix of extraction dots & areas, ready to be washed away for seemingly poreless skin.
BIO-LIFE-CELL-SCIENCE - uses the complex natural occurring skincare benefits of green life for Advanced Scientific Skincare. A combination of Eucalyptus leaf, licorice root, peppermint plant, chamomile, marigold, comfrey herb, aloe vera, ivy and cucumber.
Teaoxi is GLAMGLOW's proprietary continuous time-release technology, delivering daily fresh natural eucalyptol, natural linalool oil & powerful flavonoids direct into our formula from real pieces of Eucalyptus Leaf contained in our magical healing Supermud.
Seriously... TMI. The bimbo side of me just wants to know which freakin' model used this and swears by this that they can call it SUPERMUD with capital letters. Lol...
Application: Apparently, you just need to apply a thin and even layer over face for a face mask. And apply a thicker application on problematic spot for more targeted treatment.
Price: AUD70-80 for 34g jar
Review: The mud comes in a small jar and is a deep green colour which slowly lightens when it dries. It contains bits and pieces of identified clumps which sealed in the feeling of actual gooey mud on the face. A thin layer of mud is sufficient to remove oil from the skin. However, as with all mud mask, try not to apply a thick layer of face mask because it is prone to bigger cracks which may cause premature wrinkles on the face. The first time I used this mask, I was so disgusted with my whole face. I can't believe my pores are so dirty!
I briefly considered showing the mud mask on my whole face but it was just.... too gory!! I don't want anyone to dirty their cute little laptops or magnificent computer screen with pukes!! You are welcome. :)
However, the price is a bit steep for me! I am almost halfway through the whole jar and I've only used it once a fortnight for 3 months now. Is that a lot? Anyway, it is sold in mecca cosmetics shop across Perth as well. I tried to show my friend the mud mask how it looked like once but it was sold out in the city store! Apparently, the sale assistant told me it was their best seller and it runs out pretty quickly because people liked it so much. O wow, you impress me, Perth!
Overall, it does what it does and I kinda like it. My face doesn't feel unnaturally tight after a thin application and definitely not dried out like some mummified face. I might consider getting it again if I can't find a better mask in the future. So, let me know if you have any to-die-for mud mask to recommend me.
Thanks and have a nice week!
