Weekly Face Mask: Vivelle Collagen Bengkuang Face Mask AND Mentholatum Youthful Looking Beauty Mask
Welcome to my annual Weekly Face Mask routine :)
Because it's been a couple of weeks since my last weekly face mask post, so this time I decided to merge two weekly face masks routines into just one blog post! This is because I didn't have time to upload my weekly facial mask last week so I'll substitute it with this two-in-one post instead ;p
First up is the Vivelle Face Mask in Collagen Bengkuang with Virgin coconut Oil and Olive Oil. To my foreign readers who would probably wonder what a "Bengkuang" is, it's a type of fruit/vegetable/plant.
I used this mask last week and didn't have time to upload it. I've been quite busy during the last week and that means less sleep and tired looking skin / face. So I decided to try on this one:
Vivelle Collagen Bengkuang Mask with Virgin Coconut Oil + Olive Oil
I Bought it at: Carrefour / Supermarket
Price : Less than IDR 10.000 (= less than $1)
What it says:
Whitening, Revitalizing, Replenishing Skin.
With active ingredients such as Phyto Collagen that helps to accelerate skin metabolism, eliminate fine wrinkles, improve skin moisture, restoring complexion and skin elasticity. Another active ingredient is the Yam Bean Extracts that makes the skin looks whiter while the combination of Virgin Coconut Oil and Olive Oil works best to moisturize and soften the skin.
The ingredients:

My Take:
(Current skin : combination oily, dull and tired looking skin)
My skin condition when I used this mask is as above, and since all that words in the packaging seems very promising so I tried this on. The mask is a bit loose / big for my face but I don't have any problem with it, it also has an extra part for eyes so we can use it to cover our eyes while we lay down in bed, so our entire face area would be covered with this mask. I found the sides are a bit hard to stick to my face though...

When I put it on I can feel the calming effect right away, the essence on the mask were enough to give your face a nice cooling sensation. It felt cool, fresh, and a bit tingly on the face. The mask itself is not heavily wet so that creates a more comfortable no-dripping feeling on the face.
The scent is a bit strong like a cleanser but still tolerable for me
considering that I have to leave it on for 30 minutes just like the
recommended time stated on the packaging. After 30 minutes there were
almost no essence left on the skin so I think they were all absorbed
perfectly by the skin.
The after result:
My face looks radiant, it gets rid of my dull and tired looking face! My skin felt moist, supple, and plumped, i love it! It also gives smoother texture on my skin as well as a refreshing feeling. My face also smells good afterward. In the morning I still have some radiance left on my face too.
Overall, I would recommend this to anyone who needs a radiant boost for their dull and tired looking face. Although the sheet didn't fit me perfectly (because it was too big for my small frame) but I think I would buy this again for the affordable price alone ;p
I'm really sorry I forgot to take the "Before" picture so I can only give you the "After" picture. And please excuse my bare pale face and really tired eyes ^o^
------------------------------------------
Now let's move on to the next facial mask that I did this week.
If you read my weekly facial mask posts, you would probably still remember that my last post was about the Mentholatum Youthful Looking Beauty Mask. Mentholatum Beauty has a unique two-pieces mask and they have some other variants in the face mask department. After trying on the pink one, now I want to try the purple one ;)
Mentholatum Collagen Firming Beauty Mask with Collagen & AcHA
I Bought it at: Carrefour / Supermarket
Price : around IDR 12.000 ( = $1.2)
What it says:
Treat skin elasticity and Anti-Aging, Maintaining youthful looking skin.
Treat skin elasticity and Anti-Aging, Maintaining youthful looking skin.
Contain Collagen and Improved Sodium Hyaluronate (AcHA). Collagen maintains skin texture and elasticity, helping to maintain a youthful looking skin. AcHA deeply hydrates to maintain skin suppleness.
The Ingredients:

My Take:
(Current skin : combination oily, a few acne spots and dark spots)
Now that my face doesn't look so dull anymore I chose this mask to maintain and balance the skin condition on my face instead. Since it has collagen and AcHA in it so it's great for anti-aging and youthful skin treatment.
If you read my review on my first Mentholatum Beauty Mask, I love the unique 2-piece style. This way, the mask would be more fitted to your feature because you can adjust them to fit your face line. Although it could be a hassle or not simple enough for everyone else but I'd say it is more easier and more convenient this way.
The mask is thick and full with liquid essence. It has a very subtle pleasant scent which you probably won't notice, and it feels cold upon application, making my face feels fresh instantly. It is such a pleasant breezy feeling when you leave it on your face while closing your eyes and relaxing away on your bed. Leave it on for 15 minutes and then took it off.

The after result:
This mask is perfect for summer or for use after a day in the sun, because it feels very relaxing and you'll get that breezy feeling when you leave it on.
I'd say the overall result is commonly the same as other facial masks, it gives your face an instant lift while giving it a little extra treatment from within the surface. As you can see below my face is brighter and more healthy / youthful looking. My skin also feels moist and soft to the touch too.
Overall, this is another good face mask from Mentholatum Beauty Mask. As I said above, Mentholatum has a few variants on facial masks so I would love to try the rest of the variants that I haven't got yet. The affordable price and the widely available stock of this mask would make me certainly buy this again.
