Hey Hey! If you guys have been reading my blog, then you've probably noticed how product reviews are few and far between. This is because I don't believe in buying a product, using it once, and then swearing by it. I have to use a product either numerous times or finish the whole bottle depending on its' size, before I claim to review it. I think that's fair because in my opinion how can you use something once and then swear by it? Anyway, let's start by discussing how I came across this product in the first place.
When it comes to my skin I am an oily skin girl so my face pretty much in the span of 30 minutes will produce its' own moisturizer honestly. Surprisingly I don't get many breakouts but when I do, they tend to be pimples that form under the skin. This is because with my skin producing so much of its' own oil, sometimes this oil (or sebum) will get clogged under my skin and boom you guessed it, I get a nice little bump under the skin. Recently I had one on my cheek that was there for what felt like weeks. When I get these pimples they aren't visible on the surface of my skin, I can just feel them when I touch my face. They do go away on their own overtime but this time I wanted to try and treat it as I noticed when I have been getting a pimple here and there, it would be the same pimple in the same spot. Seemed fishy to me so I wanted to confront the little sucker and get rid of it for good.
I decided to head over to my local Sephora to see my girl (we all have "our girl") at Sephora. After chatting with her about my pimple and blah blah blah, she made a recommendation based on what I was looking for. She is always extremely honest as those close to me know I will say in a heartbeat "don't lie to me" lol. She is very knowledgeable about the products in Sephora and is always able to direct me to exactly what I am looking for. She suggested that I try the Sephora Collection: Mud Mask which was both purifying and mattifying. I was sold because I had never come across a mask that was mattifying before. Having oily skin, I love anything mattifying because it keeps your oil at bay but doesn't dry out the skin which causes more oil production. That was exactly what I needed! I wanted to purify/unclog/dry out that pimple but also not dry out my face. Let's talk a little more about this product.
