Face Mask Friday - Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask

After a bad reaction to to a new skincare item (GRR) my skin was red, and irritated and needing some love.

I thought it would be the perfect time (unless I reacted to it, then it would be a terrible plan!) to try this mask. It LOOKS like aloe vera (though I think aloe gel is the WORST thing possible to put on bad burns but I digress.......) and it just to me seemed that it should be soothing.

So I slathered it on. It looks like slime and I had images of slimer and ghostbusters. But on it went. Cold and slimey. And that actually alone was worth putting it on. Cold and soothing. There used to be a show on tv called You Cant Say That On Television. And if you said the phrase "I dont know" you got slimed. I now know what it would have felt like.

While I don't think it did anything for my skin moisture, it sure did sooth my skin. I didn't notice anything ELSE, and cant imagine from the way it sits on the skin that it would do much to clarify or detoxify, but for calming and soothing, boy did it do the job!!

Sephora Inside JCPenny Cleansing Ritual To Go Favourites Bag!

Why did I get this set? I truly have no idea. I plead temporary insanity. The $16 price tag I guess was too much for me to handle!

Inside comes:

• Boscia Tsubaki Cleansing Oil Gel 30ml/1oz   $7CAD or $5.60 US VALUE  
• Philosophy Mircrodelivery Exfoliating Face Wash 30ml/1oz   $4.13CAD or $3.38 US VALUE  
• First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser 1oz/28.3g   $6CAD or $4.75 US VALUE  
• Peter Thomas Roth Pro Strength 40% Triple Acid Peel 1 4ml dose $9.17CAD or $7.33 US VALUE  

I think the only thing in here I really want to try is the Peter Thomas Roth Acid Peel, and at a $7.33 value, I WAY overpaid for this set. Sigh.......... Oh well, guess I have some little travel sized cleansers to gift!

Now the nitty gritty of what comes in it:

And the biggest reason why I am debating getting it? $20 from the sale of each kit will benefit The Skin Cancer Foundation! TALK ABOUT GUILT FREE SHOPPING!

 

Now do I NEED this? Of course not. But I did want to pick up the St Tropez mousse anyways to try on my face (I hear its AMAZING) and its $22.50 by itself (yes, its a full sized!), and there is enough sunblock in spf 50 (between Shiseido and Ole Henriksen to make up the rest of the value to me. Then I can do what I do with most of my samples to the rest - "here mom!!"

On sale now at sephora.com/sephora.ca for VIB's and thursday (tomorrow) for the rest of you guys!
