I love this baby! :D I really really do!

I’ve not regretted for splurging on this mud! :D By the way, it’s RM147.20 for 430ml in Sasa. Prices differ in other places, going up to RM200+ if not mistaken. :)

It’s green (duh!), and feels creamy and moist. Slab some on the face, and let it dry. Depending on how much you apply, it will take approximately from 10 minutes to 30 minutes of drying time. I usually apply till I can’t see my skin, that’s what I do with my other clay/ mud mask. :)

Once dry/ nearly dry, wash off with that HUGE yellow sponge. It’s really big! Can wash half of my face in one go! But that’s also a con, since it’s big, might not clean the smaller areas like the side of nose etc. But because it’s sponge, you can squeeze it a little to fit the areas you want. But still, there’s a limit. Hope you get what I mean. :D

After cleansing, you can definitely feel the difference! Skin is clean, lesser blackhead, and smooth! :D I like! It doesn’t dry out my skin though, and I thought it would. Weird huh? Maybe my skin is super oily! That’s why?

And oh, the smell of this mud, it’s weird a little at first, but then once you get used to it, it’s soothing and nice. Somewhat of a minty smell.

I have not tried this on my body, I think I should. But for the face, it’s lovely! One problem though, this is not travel friendly. >_< It's made of glass and it's bloody heavy! Lugging it around is a NO NO!

Other than that, no complains from me!

Er, maybe a tiny one, smaller price tag maybe?

    Hahaha…
    It does look bulgy though…
    It will look very cute if comes in a smaller one, like a small jam jar of baby food…

    Cyndi: If you are thinking on budget, then St Ives. If you don’t have a budget problem, I think Borghese is more worth it. Though it’s not travel friendly. Both are equally ok if you ask me. Sensitive skin might need to stay away from this though, I heard it will sting :)

    Traclyn: It does come in a smaller jar, but not as mini as baby food! :P

    I’m looking for a nice mask, and after reading your review I’m tempted to gather this one! Do you think it will work for dry/sensitive skin?

    Hi Eru,

    The formula I got is for oily skin. I remember they have another version which is for dry/ sensitive skin, perhaps you can try that out! :D

    I’m loving the yellow sponge from your picture! But yeah, I wish it comes in a smaller jar. Does it help to reduce oily shine on your face too?

    MisSmall, that's a good point! It does help to reduce oil, but only IF you remember to load up back on moisture. Otherwise, it's even oilier. >_< I had that once cuz I was lazy to put moisturizer and went to sleep.
