Okay, I'll admit it, I bought this product mostly because it says "fudge", and if there's one thing I really really love, it's fudge. I also bought it because I was shopping for some deadly dull but very cheap cleaning products at Wilko, who bizarrely seem to have a much bigger range of the Montagne Jeunesse masks than I've ever seen in a Boots or Superdrug.
Anyway, I digress. This is a self heating, deep cleansing mask, which is recommended for normal to oily skin, which I don't really have. But it smells of fudge, so I bought it anyway (are you sensing a theme here?). The amount in the sachet equates to about one generous application; unlike other Montagne Jeunesse products I've bought in the past, there's not enough for two applications in there. Once applied to slightly damp skin, the masque heats up a little - less so than other self-heating masques I've tried in the past - and is then left on for a short while as it deeply cleanses the skin.
I will point out (once more) that this smells of real, delicious fudge - there's no synthetic edge to the fragrance. Five to ten minutes of relaxing with the masque on was all I could take before I had to wash it off and go find something sweet to eat (sadly no fudge in my house). After rinsing off, my skin was very clean, not dried out, and even in tone. A few days later, it was still even - this masque didn't bring out any spots, as some deep cleansing masques can do for me.
This product is probably something you'd use more for the enjoyment of using it than for the effect; while it does clean the skin, the effects aren't particularly life changing (although maybe they are more life changing for someone with oilier skin). But then, it does smell of fudge. Sorry. I'll shut up now.
If you'd like to try it, you can get it from the Montagne Jeunesse website (which I wish they'd update, I'm not interested in NEW FOR 2009 products) for 99p.

I got an MG mask and didn't get on with it at all, I think the ingredients are a problem as are the descriptions on the front. They all say something like "for those with a t zone" which is something we all have?
ReplyDeleteI used one which was for oily skin but it cocoa and shea butter in it so it would overload with moisture.
I do agree with you about the smells though, mine smelled delicious, not fake at all.
I have a chocolate one i'm waiting to pamper myself with, and now i'm going to have to try this one. I LOVE fudge but was worried it would smell synthetic.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried the Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque? It is excellent for deep cleansing skin that is prone to pimples and enlarged pores to leave skin feeling refreshed and smooth. Follow the link below to get a coupon for $1.00 off and give it a try. Hope you enjoy.
