Wednesday, August 9, 2017 • Andalou Naturals, review, skincare, WDDT?
(This article was written by me but previously published on Pretty Superb. Oh, you're not reading Pretty Superb? YOU SHOULD BE. It's kind of like xoVain's younger, slightly more ethical sister, and highly recommended.)

First Impressions:
A smooth purple jelly that smells mostly like a Fruit Roll Up (am I
showing my age with this reference? Are Fruit Roll Ups even a thing
anymore?). It's not really as strong as a Jolly Rancher, but it's
generally sweet and is noticeably even after application.
Experience:
This is an easy to apply product that smooths over the skin
effortlessly, cooling but without any of the tingling I typically get
with an exfoliating mask. I left it in on my face for ~20min post makeup
removal and shower.
Results: Kind
of unimpressive. This mask does dry down, but it's that slick dry down
that is annoying to rinse off. I ended up soaking a wash cloth with warm
water, holding it over my face, and wiping the majority of it away
(after which I still went in with toner on a cotton pad). I didn't see
any immediate brightening, though after I had applied the rest of my
skincare I went back by the mirror and maybe noticed a change?
Would/Would Not Repurchase:
Would not. I just don't feel like it did anything worth a second go,
and while the other "single use" masks I've purchased are really more
like 2 uses, this one I finished the whole pod for an even
application.
And that's it! Short and sweet I know, but probably appropriate since I didn't really feel like the mask did anything, lol.New Product Round Up & Some Reviews

I hesitated just a bit with these reviews, putting this post off until I could be really sure that the results I was seeing were for real, but screw it. We're 3 weeks (almost a month) in to me using these products and I absolutely love every one of them.
