ARTISTRY Pore Mask. The difference between the old and the new mask

ARTISTRY essentials Pore Cleansing Masque (New)

ARTISTRY essentials Pore Cleansing Masque description

Comparing the ingredients of both old pore mask and the new pore mask (essential), it looks like both of the mask are the same! They are the same from their exact wording of their packaging rite down to the smell of the mask. Left side is the new mask/right side is the old mask.

The back part of both mask

Good thing that i didnt throw my old box away~!! And looks like I dont have to be sad that the old mask is "no longer in production"! Since the old mask equal the new mask. But if you buy the new mask thinking that its a new formula and you are still using the old ones...well...looks like you can just save your money and wait till the old bottle finish!

I just bought this recently from Holiday Plaza Beauty shop that sells pretty much an interesting array of hair and beauty products. I forget the shop name.

When i see this mask i got really curious and bought em. This is the first time i bought a powder mask. The instruction from the SA is to mix this packet into 50ml of water. Once i have tried them i will write a review.

This mask that i bought is for face whitening purpose.

Dainty Design: All in one collagen mask

I bought from Watson Buy 5 free 1. During the promotion they sell RM48 for 2 packs.

ORIGINS No Puffrey Review


Size:30ML. Its a very small tube. At first when i see the SA show me the tube, i ask her where is the original size? But come to think of it, we only need very little of the gel for the eye.
Price: RM90

Their signature formula whereby there is no parabens

Ingredients

Best for all skin types
Usage: the SA inform to use this twice a week during the day. Not to use during the night. Not sure why she say so. And to use them when there is a puffy eye.
Advice by SA: Store in fridge. When apply have cooling effect.
HOW TO USE (as advice by the website): As needed, apply generously to under eye area. Chill out for 5-10 minutes. Tissue off. Or for an all-day treatment, apply sparingly and leave on. Follow with your favorite Origins eye cream.

Description

Watch puffs go poof.
No Puffery™ Cooling mask for puffy eyes
Partied too hardy? Haven't slept a wink? Logged on too long? Pamper your peepers with this refreshing icy-eye remedy. Bag-banishing Yeast Extract (an insider beauty secret) de-poufs puffs as it brightens and lightens dark circles. And Hoelen Mushroom Extract calms surrounding skin to help keep redness from settling in.

Result: I find this eye mask is really amazing. First of all this mask is use for puffy eyes. When i first check the site it says that we can either put a generous amt and tissue off in 5-10 min or to put a thin layer and then follow by normal eye cream. I think its kind of a waste to apply a thick layer and wipe off when u can wear it all day.

I ask the SA why we need to put the eye cream when we already using this eye mask. The SA explain that the it does not help for dark circle or fine lines. So we still need eye cream to provide moisture and combat dark circle.

My eye problem include puffy eyes, dark circle and a bit of fine lines. The puffy eye really make me look tired. No matter how much mask i use, if my eye look tired, overall i will still look tired.

So far i only tried to apply this once. The result are great. The puffyness has really been reduce. When i work and i am really tired and stress i will have very tired looking puffy plus dark circle eye. But on the day i put on this mask the puffyness has been reduce. But my dark circle are still a problem.

The SA advice to put the tube in the fridge but i have not tried that. Will try it one day and will comment.

The life span is 6mths after opening. Pretty short considering we only need to use very little of the cream. I think thats the negative side of it. Another negative side is the pricing! Nearly make me bleed.

At the end of the day i bought No Puffrey eye mask and bought the Out of Trouble Mask for my pimples. Its really fun especially when the SA gave me some samples. Make a difference (moisturizer), Checks and Balances (facial wash), Drink up (moisture mask) and Dr Weil Plantidote Mega Mushroom Skin Calming Face Mask. I love free samples. Will blog about them once i have use them.

Out of Trouble® 10 minute mask to rescue problem skin
When skin is too-slick or when more pressing problems start to pop up, it’s Origins to the rescue to keep skin out of trouble. Nature’s trouble-shooters, including super-absorbent Zinc Oxide and Sulfur, calming Camphor plus skin-sloughing Salicylic Acid, rapidly respond to problem skin’s plight with a three-part plan - sop up oily-shine, slough off sticky, dead cells, and sweep away irksome debris. Together they steer skin clear of slippery situations, refine rough texture and pull the plug on troublemakers to oust potential outbursts.

HOW TO USE: Layer over clean face and throat. Avoid eye area. Wait 10 minutes. Remove with damp washcloth.

Review: When i first bought this mask i was really excited. Because i wanted to find a mask for my pimples. Origins product are all organic. So its nice that the mask is Organic and natural too. However application wise, the mask is white colour and it sticks to the face. Removing them are quiet tough as it tends to stick to the face. The direction says to remove with wash cloth or alternatively remove with wet facial cotton. As I do not want to tug on my face or waste my facial cotton, i still prefer to remove with water. After that i must use toner to make sure that the whole mask is properly wash off. The nice thing about the mask though during application is that the mask has a tingling cooling sensation which is quiet nice. As its a organic product they did not put any perfume in it. It smell a bit like sulfur however i can accept the smell.

The result of the mask is that it make my pimples less "angry". My pimples went down a little and the redness has been reduce. It really does a good job since the purpose i bought the mask is to remove my pimples. I also notice that my skin become smoother and cleaner as the mask can remove dead cells and debris.

However on the down side is that its very drying on my skin (i have combination skin). Even when i put on the moisturizer i still feel its very drying. Actually the SA at Origins did try to persuade my to buy the their "Drink Up" mask. But since its the first time i try their product i do not dare to buy many product at the same time. Origins product are very pricey too.

Further i can see that my pores has been enlarge. As a result to the dryness i went out and bought a hydration mask from Skin Food for rm49.90. So far i have tried to use this both mask (OOT mask first follow up by hydration mask) and my skin are not so drying. But i notice my pores are still enlarge.

I find that the mask is really "strong" and that its not a mask that can be use often. As a result subsequently i only apply the mask on the pimple area.

I also notice that my cheek has some new milia seed these days. Its really frustrating looking at the melia seed since there is no solution to its removal! I cant really pin point that its this mask giving me milia seed as i am also using other products. So for safety purpose i only apply on the pimple area

Learn something new: The SA told me Origins product are organic. Organic is good and all but i am a little paranoid that the product that i bought will have a limited life span. When i ask her this question she advice that all Origins product has a manufacturing date. Mine is 06/2009. It takes half year for the product to ship from USA to Malaysia. Therefore my product are consider new. It has a life span for about 2 years if unopen. To see the lifespan once u open the product you can refer to the tiny symbol at the bottom. the symbol show- a round can which is open with numbers 24m. It means that the product once open can last for 24 mths.

THE CORN
Updates DAY 1: Just when my best frens wedding is around the corner, the thing i dreaded most happening to my face is a ultra huge pimple on my chin! I nickname it as The Corn. I notice it before i go to work. By the end of my shift it become an "adult". When i go back home i quickly applied this mask (on the pimple area only). This morn when i woke up, The Corn has been reduce by half! Its so amazing! I will try to apply on The Corn when i come back from work tonight again! Hopefully it will disappear by the next day as the wedding is this week end!!!

DAY 2: Applied the mask again yest nite on pimple area only. Today the corn has reduce to the size of a normal pimple! I also apply to my other pimple which is also quiet large and the size of them have been reduce. Some has really dried up. Will apply the mask again tonight. Texture of face feel smoother but with enlarge pores. Hope by tomorrow most of the pimple will be gone!!

My result:
I like it that it only take 5 min to apply the mask and after 5 mins i can really see the result. My skin is fairer and smoother. The mask is a white cream with slight exfoliation beads in it. So when i apply i will try to massage my face. I am pretty scared to use the exfoliation beads which are rather rough to the skin. I will be paranoid that my skin will sag. But this does not happen in this mask.
Removing is pretty easy as the mask does not stick persistently on the skin.

ARTISTRY Pore Mask. The difference between the old and the new mask

ARTISTRY Pore Cleansing Masque Review

100ml
Price: ??
Content: ??

These days i am really crazy about mask. I bought different mask from different brands . In the end i felt that one of the first mask that i bought years ago is the best for me. There is no description of the content at the back of the packaging thus i do not noe whats the content.

This mask is great because it really makes my skin smooth, soft, my skin are visibly firmer and my pores minimize.

After applying this mask i will usually apply the ARTISTRY Pure White Masque next which will make my skin fairer.

In the end I will get smooth, soft, minimize pores and a fairer skin.

I belief Amway have stop producing this mask and replace with the essential line which according to the description is a clay type mask. I guess i have to switch to the essential line when my pore mask ran out! Hope the effect is equally good or even better!

Repurchase: Definitely Yes! However it has been replace with another series
Satisfaction: 5/5
