My logic behind this purchase is that I love face masks and I love Tarte Cosmetics, everything should be perfect! I hate to say this, but this was not the case though. This mask retails for $52 Canadian and contains two masks in the one jar (each .88 oz). One half is a purifying clay mask for your pores (which I applied in my T-Zone) and a brightening, hydrating gold gel mask (which I applied to the rest of my face). I don't know where to start with this review, so I guess I will start with how each mask did or did not work for my skin. Starting off with the purifying clay mask, this is the one I liked the least out of the two masks. It did do a great job exfoliating my skin, but it was a little too harsh of an exfoliation for my sensitive skin. Even as the mask was drying and tightening it was starting to become uncomfortable. If I needed a good exfoliation every once and a while I would use it, but it is too rough to use as a regular face mask.
Not the best picture, but my face was very red where the clay mask was.
On the other hand I loved the hydrating and brightening gel mask! I felt as though this mask made my skin feel really nice and smooth and hydrated. I didn't notice a huge difference in brightness, but what I did like was that I noticed there were tiny gold flecks or sparkles in the gel mask which is what brightens the face. Since I preferred the gel mask far more than the clay mask another con of this mask duo is that after me and my boyfriend using it just once each, you can already see the bottom of the container on the side with the gold mask. I would not jump to buy the clay mask, but if they sold the gold mask separately I would buy it in a heartbeat! Overall the price for both masks is a little steep seeing as you don't get much of each mask, but if you think both masks would work with your skin type and you don't have sensitive skin, then I would recommend it. However, if you think you would only benefit from one of the two masks then I would say it would not be worth the money.
Thank you all for viewing this post and I will have another one up soon!
