FIF: Freeman Beauty Dead Sea Minerals Facial Anti-Stress Mask

Hey Guys! Welcome to another FIF! Today I wanted to talk to you about a new mask that I am trying. If you didn't already know, I am pretty obsessed with the masks from Freeman Beauty. All the ones I have tried, I have really enjoyed.

This mask is called the Dead Sea Minerals Facial Anti-Stress Mask. This mask claims to clear pores and smooth skin. This comes in a blue/teal tube. I was really surprised when I opened it and the mask itself is a very similar color to the tube color. This has a really clean smell. Almost like a baby wash or something like that. To use this mask you are supposed to apply it to your face and neck, then let it dry and rinse off with warm water.

This mask went on so smooth. I was almost expecting it to have a gritty exfoliating texture and I was pleasantly surprised when it was just a smooth mask. It dries fairly quickly and when you rinse it off, it makes your skin feel so soft and smooth and clean. It doesn't make my skin feel oily after I use it.

All in all, I really enjoy this mask. I love the color, scent, text

ure and how it makes me skin feel after I use it. I am going to have to keep using it, but I can see this easily getting to the top of my mask list.

Have you ever tried this mask? If so, what did you think of it? What is your favorite mask that you use?

This has become my most favorite mask. I use it probably 3 times a week and will usually reach for it over any of my other masks. In fact, it even made it into my February 2014 Favorites!

It's a HAUL!

Hey Guys! Today I am here to share a haul with you. I picked these things up over the last week or two. Let's dive in!

First, I went to Big Lots and picked up some items on clearance. They have some really good items right now. If I were you, I would go check it out!

 

I got this Maybelline Color Sensational gloss in 285 Rose Lust. It is a beautiful bright rosy pink color.

Next I picked up a Revlon Lip Butter in 065 Creamsicle. It is a really pretty orange peachy color. I only own one lip butter (other than this one) so I was really excited to pick up another one.

I also picked up a Revlon Diamond Lust eye shadow in the color 120 Night Sky. This is a dark black/grey color with a silver and blue glitter. It is gorgeous! I can't wait to do a look with this.

 

The last thing I got at Big Lots was this E.L.F. Plumping Lip Gloss Trio. They came in the colors Baby Doll (which is a baby pink color), Oasis (which is kind of a mauvy pink color) and Mauve Berry (which is a light berry color). All of these have what looks like glitter in them, but when I swatched them I didn't really notice it. They also all have a really nice minty smell.

The next place I went to was Rite Aid. They had a really good sale on Physician's Formula so I wanted to get in on it.

First I got the brand new Sexy Booster Va Va Voom Volume Mascara. I heard this mascara was amazing, so it is the only brand new item that I picked up.

 

I also got this Shimmer Strips trio for smoky eyes. I already own the brown set of these, so I thought the black/grey set would be awesome to have as well.

 

I picked up the PH Matchmaker Bronzer in Light Bronzer to help push me over the edge of what I needed to spend. This was on clearance for around $4. I have the PH Matchmaker blush and I really like it.

 

I picked up a back up of the Cashmere Wear Bronzer in Light Bronzer. I already have one of these, but half of it is smashed. This was also on clearance and since I love it so much I figured I should get a back up before they stop selling it.

 

The last Physician's Formula item I got was the Cashmere Wear blush in Natural. I am hoping I love this blush as much as I love the bronzer.

 

 

I also picked up two of the brand new NYC City Proof Twistable Intense Lip Color lip crayons. I picked up 051 Canal St. Coral (right, which is a beautiful bright coral) and 011 Brooklyn Brown Stone (left, which is a dark nude color). I have tried both of these already and I really like them.

 

The last place I went to was Walmart. I wanted to pick up a couple of face masks that I wanted to try before ordering a large order from Freeman.

 

I got the Facial Revealing Peel-off Mask Pomegranate. We all know I love my peel-off masks, so I figured I would give this one a shot. I also picked up the Facial Purifying Paper Mask in Star Fruit. This is the first paper mask that I will have ever tried.

So that is my haul Guys! Have you ever tried any of these products? If so, what do you think of them? You can probably expect to see a couple of these things in future First Impression Friday posts!

FIF: Freeman Cucumber Peel off Mask

Hey Guys! Welcome to another FIF! This week I am talking about another Freeman product! It is the Cucumber Peel off Mask. Now I mentioned in my T5T: Nighttime Skincare post that I have been using the St. Ives Peel off Hydroxy Masque for YEARS. I can't find that mask anywhere, so I decided to give this Freeman mask a shot. I will be doing a lot of comparing of these two masks simply because the St. Ives was a holy grail product of mine.

When I first opened it and smelled it, I could definitely tell it was a cucumber mask. I even told JP "The only thing I have ever smelled that smelled more like cucumber, is cucumber". It is just such a clean, refreshing smell. I really enjoyed it. As far as texture, this one doesn't seem quite as sticky as the St. Ives mask. It seems to go on a lot smoother.

To use this mask, all you do is smooth it onto your skin evenly (avoiding the eye areas). You let it dry for 5-10 minutes, and then you peel it off. It is like peeling dry glue off of your skin. It exfoliates and clears your pores as you remove it (almost like a Biore pore strip, but for your entire face!). This one seemed to dry a lot quicker than the St. Ives one. And I noticed in removing it, that it came off in 2 big pieces (leaving just a few smaller areas behind). The St. Ives one always comes off in a bunch of smaller sections.

 

Overall, I really enjoyed this product. I may even like it better than the St. Ives mask (which is good because I am almost out of it and can't find it anywhere!). The smell and the texture were awesome. The best part though was how it made my skin feel! My skin felt so smooth and clean after using it. I even did my astringent after and there was nothing on the cotton round (that rarely happens).

Have you ever tried this mask before? Have you ever tried any kind of peel off mask? Let me know in the comments below!!
