As a starter let me say - I haven't used a face masque since I was a teenager and I stopped using them because they all made my face go red and feel tight, or do nothing. I am now a complete fan and this is a great product and combines an exfoliation with a masque so excellent time saver.
I got this in the mail to review and thought ok the package is quite small for what it costs (I later discovered you use hardly any so will last for ages); but it's lovely packaging and a nice sleek design for the bottle -this would be great to travel with. I like that it's a pump bottle so you can standardise what you use, but it would've been handy to have a guideline on the bottle as to roughly how many pumps you should expect to use. Also it states to apply to clean face so I was unsure as to whether it should be dry, damp or wet when you do that (I found slightly damp to be best). You can exfoliate or leave it first, I always rubbed it around a bit then left it for a few mins and washed off.
The smell is a really subtle fruity earthy scent, not overpowering at all and could be a bit stronger, it's more liquid than other masques/exfoliates I've used but this was a good thing as it spread really well and you get great coverage. It felt really gentle too when I was exfoliating with it so I was wondering if it would do a good job.
IT DID! This is such an awesome product, after washing it off my skin felt amazing and I want to use it everyday. Since I started using it I've literally halved my moisturiser usage. Incredible. My face didn't look red or feel tight, it 'glowed' straight after using it and has stayed that way since. I love it!
The best analogy I can use here is when you hear a song by a band you haven't heard before and love it so much you go and buy the whole album. I've since fallen in love with other Oasis products too after exploring their website and getting free samples sent so will definitely be purchasing more. A total win and I would recommend this to everyone, dry or oily or combination this would work for all I think.
The Fruit Smoothie was lovely to apply. Thick consistency meant it was easy to put on my face & move around. The colouring meant I could leave it on & sit around my partner without him weirding out on me. The results were good. Smooth skin, washed off easily, & definitely made my skin feel exfoliated & clean.
Tips: Follow up with moisturiser.
