Neutrogena Face Mask Review
March 22, 20141 Comments
"This is an article in response to the ongoing FaceCare for the Miss India in You Contest powered by Neutrogena, conducted by Purplle.com for the upcoming Miss India 2014 Pageant."
Recently, I happened to learn a lot about the new beauty brand, Neutrogena through my blogger friends. All of them said that they were in love with the nature-based products from this brand. So, I was eager to try out something from Neutrogena and fortunately, I got a chance to lay my hands on this wonderful face mask.

This was my first experience with face masks and I am glad that it turned out so lovely!
THE PACKAGING: This face mask comes in a very hygienic, easy to open packaging. The anti-penetrate outer wrapper keeps the mask inside hydrated and prevents it from drying out. 
The packaging is travel friendly.
THE SCENT: It smells of fresh leaves and moisturising creams. I love its subtle scent! The scent lingers on my face even after 30-40 minutes of removing the mask.

HOW TO USE: It's very easy and simple! The 'how-to-apply' instructions are clearly mentioned with illustrations on a leaflet which comes with this pack. Apply the mask before any makeup application on a clean face and leave it for 15-20 minutes on your face and then discard it. DO NOT wash your face after that!
THE FEEL: It feels like soft snow on my hands. As though it has just walked out of a milk tub.

IS IT EFFECTIVE?: Absolutely! While I am not sure or rather care about the fairness part, I think it acts as a lovely pre make up face treatment. I have used it before many occasions and got wonderful results!
THE PRICE: Rs149/- per mask.
WHAT I LOVE:
*It gives me an instant salon experience. Since the day I have started using these masks for my special occasions, I have never felt the need to go to a spa or a parlour for a facial.
*It's super hydrating! It beautifully moisturised every part of my face in just 15 minutes. On removing the mask off, I feel very refreshed and rejuvenated.
*It releases pangs of tensions
*Gives a healthy glow to my face
*Act as a beautiful toner and primer.
My Complains:
None!Seriously? Yes! Apart from the fact that it scares off everybody from me while I am wearing it(Read the story in the P.S part), I have no issues with it at all! Its simply awesome!

TIPS TO USE THIS MASK EFFECTIVELY:
*Refrigerate it thirty minutes prior to application. This will give you 100% better experience!
*Apply on a clean face and don't wash your face after removing it or the glow will go.
*Try not moving around the house while you are wearing it or you will, I mean, your masked face will scare the lives out of people. ;)

So, have you tried this out? What was your experience with it?

P.S: I thought it would be great if I shared this little incident with you all :D. It so happened that while getting ready to attend a wedding, both me and my sister were wearing this mask and looking like ghosts when suddenly there was a knock on the door, it was a courier boy. Both of us looked at each other and then at the mirror. As no one else was at home, we had to take the courier and when I opened the door, the poor courier guy got a mini heart attack. Hehe! You had to look at his face - It was priceless! Hahaha..Lol! He managed to not scream and drew back his courage and gave me the courier. Hehe! We had a good laugh after we saw him run out of our building hurriedly. :D

Lotsa Love,
