Advantages: smells wonderful

Disadvantages: none

It was time for another face mask again and this time I chose the fudge sauna one as I had read good reviews about it on here.
The face mask is a non hardening one which just requires applying and then washing off fifteen minutes later. I was looking forward to the fudge aroma as it's one of my favourite sweets and I really could eat it all day.

The packet shows a lady with a light brown coloured mess all over her face with some leaves covering her eyes with chunks of fudge in the centre of them. This isn't the most attractive packaging but it does stand out so I guess the marketing trick works.
The labelling claims this is a self heating mask, which made me fairly wary as I don't like the heating masks to heat up too much as I can't stand to keep them on for too long.

I tried to rip the top of the packet open with difficulty until I saw a little perforated section asking me to tear in a circular direction to open. Ok that'll teach me for not reading the packet properly. I did manage to tear the packet open where it asked me but I couldn't complete the tear and my hands were slippery by this time from the bath water. I found this made the mask awkward to remove from the packet and I got into slightly more mess than intended or probably needed.
The mask itself needs to be applied to a wet face. It comes out of the packet in a thick consistency the colour of a light tan piece of fudge. The smell that comes from the mask is utterly divine and is spot on to match a piece of vanilla fudge.
As I applied it to my face the warming sensation hit me straight away. It wasn't too hot however and didn't carry on heating as I applied the rest. I found that the only time the mask warmed on my skin was when I put some of it onto fresh skin.

Settling back in the bath I was determined to keep this mask on for the full 15 minutes to get maximum effect. It's designed to deeply open pores and cleanses, and is for normal, greasy and t-zone skin. The aromas that wafted up my nose intermittently were gorgeous and made me want to eat something sweet.
The mask didn't continue to heat but I had a pleasant sensation on my skin for the full time I left it on.
I also didn't look as bad as the photo on the packet I was pleased to confirm when I looked in the mirror after applying it to make sure I had evenly applied.
It needed washing off with warm water and I found this fairly easy to do, but it's worth making sure you get every last bit off as it wouldn't be very nice left on there.

This mask cost 99p from Montagne Jeunesse and it was 99p well spent. I will definitely be buying this again when I am in need of a face mask.

The after effects of the mask made my skin feel fairly soft but nothing major which was a shame. It did look clean and fresh though with a nice pink tinge on my cheeks and jaw line.

Summary: a great way to spend 99p
