Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask
You know what I love? Super cheap beauty finds that really work.
I discovered the mint julep masque while lurking around
http://www.makeupalley.com/ and pretty much all the reviews preached about the magic that is in this tube. For only a little over $3 how could I not try this out? The description says:
" Helps dry up acne pimples, rinse away blackheads & shrink enlarged
pores. Mint Julep Masque is the original natural home treatment
developed by a dermatologist that helps dry up acne pimples, rinse away
blackheads and shrink enlarged pores. Simply apply Mint Julep Masque to
your clean face and neck. Within minutes it firms and hardens, drawing
out impurities from your pores. After the masque is removed, your skin
will feel clean, refreshed and smooth. Even for individuals who are
fortunately free of skin problems, Mint Julep Masque is a refreshing
facial treatment that helps relax tired muscles and ease tension lines

I have been testing this for months now and it is never a disappointment. It's a thick yet creamy consistency and smells like spearmint gum. I apply it clean, dry skin and I make sure to avoid my eye area because this stuff is drying. For some, it may "tingle" a bit... and by "tingle" I mean burn, but this is also coming from the girl that cries every time she watches "My Girl". Seriously though, it's really nothing bad and if I let a fan blow in my face for a few seconds it doesn't bother me a bit. Also, I have combination skin, leaning towards dry due to acne medication so this could explain any mild discomfort. After the initial tingle, it feels cool on my face while it dries. I leave it on for about 15 or so minutes before I rinse it off with cool water and pat my face dry with a towel. Then I apply moisturizer.
Also, I am aware that I have like three false lashes left. They are going to have to fall out on their own because I am not about to risk ripping my eyelashes out. Haha.
