I love face masks and I love Estee Lauder, put them together and what have you got? A beautiful thang. I'm becoming quite addicted to EL products because of their amazing quality and luxury. Most of you will know I'm crazy about the Enlighten EE Cream which is the perfect summer base product. I'm also testing out a couple other bits, so stay tuned for more EL reviews. I picked up this face mask because Anna (VDM) mentioned it in a blog post and I really liked the look of it. I've been using it for a while now and I just can't get enough!



The mask comes in a teal plastic time with a god cap. Packaging is very pretty. Good for travel.
Price - £32 for 75ml
Texture - Soft, wet clay
Finish - Clear, soft, bright skin

What they say
Liquid-light clay mask dries in minutes, drawing out built-up impurities to liven up lacklustre skin. Immediately, skin feels refreshed and incredibly smooth. Looks clarified and revived, with an unstoppable healthy glow. Helps absorb accumulated toxins and debris, so pores look reduced and skin is reset to a beautiful balance.

Key ingredients
Kaolin - Absorbs excess oil and rebalances 
Gentian Root Extract - Anti-inflammatory 

What is it
This is a lovely clay mask that absorbs excess oil, clears out pores and leaves skin feeling fresh but not stripped. It spreads evenly across the face and starts to dry after 2-3 minutes. It's a gentle mask that doesn't irritate the skin. The scent is very cucumber-y which I love. Suitable for all skin types.






How I use it
After cleansing, I apply a semi thick all over my face leaving two spaces around my eyes. It starts to dry quite quickly so it's great for a quick refresh throughout the day, or if you need to take off makeup and reapply. The mask is a light grey/white colour so you will look a bit ghostly. I leave it on for 10 minutes and then remove with a hot flannel. It comes off very easily so you don't have to tug or pull on the skin. My skin looks very refined after using this mask but I still look healthy and glowy. 

Pros
- Good size 
- Travel friendly
- Fresh cucumber scent
- No scratchy particles
- Refines and smoothes
- Skin looks clear
- Quick fix for oily skin

Cons
- None

Summary
I love using this mask when I need something quick but super effective. It has a gorgeous soft light texture which is so easy to apply and remove. I can tell I'm going to get a lot of use out of it throughout Summer on those days I'm looking greasy. If you're looking for a 'treat' face mask or just something simple that still packs a punch, I would definitely try this one. Thanks so much for reading!
