missha natural color clay mask firming

when i found out that missha released 4 types of color clay mask, i have to have one of them at least.

the pink one is for moisture, the green one is for sebum and pore care, the yellow one for brightening (skintone), the purple one for firming and nutrition. at first i want to try the green one and the purple one, but i cancelled the green one since i'm getting the face shop volcanic lava clay mousse mask to replace my innisfree super volcanic clay mask.

if you're familiar with #rasianbeauty in instagram, you'll probably know fanserviced-b, who popularized the multi-masking. i think missha released these clay masks to accommodate those who want to try multi-masking. they even give some tips too..

this is the description from en.koreadepart.com: moisture pack contains the selection of brazilian purple clay improves skin elasticity and nutrition to make skin more firm. the purple clay rich of natural nutritional supplements for strengthen skin and elasticity, keeping tight skin without sagging. various color types of the clay pack of mix and match skin types with different color clays & care.

the packaging: it's a tube with screw top. like a toothpaste. although the front of the tube has english writing on it, but the back has no english instruction whatsoever. oh, and like all the korean products, it comes in a sealed opening.

the smell: if i can pick a scent, then it must be bad. i can smell clay. yucky scent. yuck..

the product: it's like a toothpaste, really. since i pick the firming one, i expect a purple clay, like advertised. but i get a very very pale purple clay. very soft when freshly squeezed from the tube. easy to spread on my face, but it doesn't give purple color as advertised. although on my second trial i try to layer more product, but it still doesn't give me that purple color that i'm hoping for. and it will be hard after 10 minutes or so. and not as hard as innisfree's, but it's hard, although i can still move my mouth and jaw. and it's easier to wash off unlike innisfree's. probably since it doesn't that hard so it's easier to wash.

the result: well, i don't think i can feel any firming effect instantly, though i've been using this twice, but i can't still feel anything. but i'm quite concern about breakouts, since after the second time using this mask, i experienced breakouts. but i can't sure if it's caused by this mask or by other product that i'm testing right now.

overall, i'm quite disappointed. i'm setting my hope high for this clay mask, but somehow i don't like it. or not like it so far. i do hope this one doesn't cause the breakouts. we'll see after further usage. if you're interested in this clay mask, then do try. probably you have luck with this product.
