Garnier Hydra Bomb Pomegranate Tissue Mask Review

After seeing lots of reviews on these masks I had to get my hands on a couple during the countdown sale . Couldn’t resist a good deal at the time . I like to do masks at least once a week to give my skin an extra boost.

These masks come in clear easy to read packaging . Ganier can be found in most stores making it easily accessible. Consistency is your normal white cloth mask . Has a blue backing sheet that peels off . Scent that I can detect is floral musk .

On application it’s quite wet . Keep a dry towel handy for excess moisture . Tends to drip down my neck , gives me the shivers lol . I leave it on for 15 minutes. I always cleanse beforehand . Afterwards my skin has a short term glow .

These are good to get on sale . I can see myself purchasing more on the near future . Good for a skin boost .

Purchased a couple months ago on sale at Countdown. I remember seeing this on the BR site and wanted to try it out. The packaging is very pretty to look at, has images of Pomegranate and is a soothing blue colour. Still bigger than other mask packaging I have seen.

Does have a pleasant Pomegranate scent when you open the sachet. However it very quickly disappears. Like the other Hydra Bomb mask I tried, there is a blue protective film. Doesn't aid applying the mask though now I think about it, it might be there to protect the tissue mask itself? I still think it's an unnecessary item to have.

Mask is very cool. I think this would be much more suitable during the warmer/summer weather. I just used this mask in Autumn so found it cold. I wouldn't recommend it. Alot of excess formula once the mask has been removed. Just massaged it into the face, neck and decolletege area. Face is surprisingly not sticky after the formula has dried down.

Skin looks hydrated and looks and feels smooth. It's a very pleasant mask to use and has good results. I don't use tissue masks often as I prefer clay masks for my skin type. I may consider repurchasing this at some stage in the future

There was a huge amount of product in this mask, very sticky and drippy. I felt like my skin did look more hydrated but reluctant to use again due to being messy. Smelt ok

A bright shiny package arrived for me to try. Extra points for the shiny packaging and bright graphics. The instructions seemed pretty straight forward so it was all systems go last night. It was a bit goopy getting out of the sleeve and deciding which side has to go on my face was a 30 second dilemma. It did say have the blue side away but really both sides looked blueish. Okay that sorted on it went. Oh dear my eyes are too far apart and my nose is too wide! After dealing with this reality check in the harsh lighting of my bathroom mirror I carried on. Once I peeled away the blue side and binned I then proceeded to press the tissue infused mask into my face. Okay the eye slits started to adjust and sit better and my nose was covered as well. Okay my alien-like features was a slight over exaggeration and the mask sat on my face quite well once I stretched, pressed and pulled it to fit. It felt quite nice sitting on my face for the 15 minutes andi even managed to terrify the dog and child. Husband just raised his eyebrows as if what is she doing now. It was easy to peel off but there was quite a bit of excess left which I rubbed in. No way was I washing off as one of the suggestions so I left the residue on over night. My skin felt smoother and softer this monrning. No I didn't look younger but my skin looked rested. Would I use again. A great idea before an event to give my skin a boost so it can be glowing.

I was sent this product from Beauty Review as part of a trial team. It comes in foil like packaging and says it has teamed up with TerraCycle to stop beauty products ending up in landfill - but im not 100% sure what TerraCycle is so I will have to look that up! The packaging is very easy to tear open and the product comes out easily.

It is folded up and has a protective film on it which you remove once the mask is put on. It has a really nice fresh smell. The mask is quite easy to contour to your face which I was glad about as I have very sensitive skin and as soon as I put the mask on, my nose started stinging. I could easily remove it from that area tho due to the slits in the mask and mold it to the rest of my face easily. It peels straight off your face with no issues and my skin felt really refreshed. On the packet it says to either wipe the excess off or rub it in. I choose to rub it in without thinking and then around my nose started to sting a little again. My skin did feel nice and smooth after removing as well. This mask has made my skin feel a lot more hydrated and I think it is reasonably priced at $4.99. I have only marked it down due to it saying it is suitable for sensitive skin which I didn't find as it made the area around my nose sting until i removed it from that area.

I love face masks. I’m not loyal to one mask I like to use different masks for different purposes.

This claims hydration and it does deliver but I find the effects are short lived. But in saying that I would do this mask again if I felt the need for a boost.

It’s got a lot of the hydrating solution on the mask and dripped a little bit for me but at least it wasn’t dry. It wasn’t that well cut around the lip and nose hole I had to keep pressing it down I felt it wasn’t quite cut enough to fit the form of my face.. but enough gets covered despite this. It’s cooling and doesn’t aggravate my sensitive skin. My skin after felt soft and plump.

I just wish the effect was longer lasting. I feel like some serums I have used pack more of a moisture punch leaving my skin feeling refreshed until morning but this wasn’t that long lasting so I might try their other garnier mask next time and see if I find the results any better.

In saying that it’s a great price, relaxing and does work at the time maybe my dry skin just sucked it all up it was that desperate for moisture.

I have previously used the Chamomile Tissue Mask in the same range. I received a few different Garnier masks in BBBE. This one promises to help hydrate and boost your skin radiance and complexion. The mask comes in a foil type packet. It is easy to open and the instructions are clear and easy to follow. Just like the Chamomile mask this was messy to apply as there was a lot of serum on the mask which made it hard to press down smoothly onto my face. It was also far too big for my face. I found the mask a bit unpleasant as the serum felt cold and slimy and I had to keep pressing it down. I definitely need to leave it on longer than the 15minutes it says on the back for all the serum to absorb into my skin. I found the mask very cooling and hydrating but it is only for a short period of time. Im not sure If i would purchase in the future as the fit and feel of the mask lets it down.

Managed to pick up a couple of these for half price a while back and finally got round to using them yesterday evening. I found putting this on to be somewhat of a mission, as the sheet did not fit my face and would not stay put, or stick to the needed areas, so felt a lot of my face did not benefit from doing this mask. Then you have to peel off an additional blue coat, which ends up peeling off the mask as well which is annoying. It wasn't dripping in product which was nice. It felt cooling and could feel my skin tighten while using this mask, I left it on for around 15 minutes and then wiped the excess around my face - neck - chest area to really get the most out of this mask. I found my face felt very sticky as if I had an adhesive layer on, this wore off after 20 mins. It was hydrating and did a great job at softening and smoothing my skin. Think I'll stick to normal masks, but enjoyed using this from Garnier.

Sometimes it’s just the simple things. Hydration Masks being one of them. I had no problem trailing this Garnier one, I like their products, not too fancy and great price.

My skin needs hydration, it can’t get enough. The mask was easy to apply, stayed on well for the 15 mins. It didn’t move or slip at all. There was a generous amount of gel, the left over I placed on the top of my hands and forearms.

The gel was quite cooling, divine for the middle of summer, bit too cold for me yesterday but now that I am aware of it it’s not so much of a surprise. Wasn’t at all offensive, smelt nice and no reaction on me.

This morning my skin feels more plumped, like not so drawn and dehydrated looking which puts it on the “will buy again” list.

A little on the expensive side at $4.99 each – maybe if I could buy a pack with 6 for $20.00 I’d find it better value.

It’s one of those products that would be great as stocking fillers. Masks seem to be all the rage at the moment; it’s a great thing, something not messy, non staining & affordable giving for Christmas fillers with it not a waste of time or money.

I'll start by commenting on my skin - I have combination skin with a tendency to get oily in my T-Zone, with dryness on the outer areas of my face. Coming out of winter and into spring there are some little flaky dry patches and it tends to be more dry than oily.

I was impressed with the packaging, it looks very sleek in silver and cute with the flower accent. I couldn't wait to open it and see what was inside! On the back of the package it has all the info you would need to find out what it intends to do to your face, and what it has in it. It claims to give 24 hours of hydration. When I opened it the face mask was folded up. I got it out and unfolded it, there was a lot of gel/liquid on the mask. So much so that I had to wipe my hands as I went.

You have to apply it with the blue layer on the outside and use your fingers to mould it to the contours of your face. Once again I must stress that there was A LOT of product so it felt quite wet and almost drippy. It smelt really fresh and not at all like a fake chemical smell like some other face masks. I had a little trouble pulling the blue layer off but once I did the face mask was light and fitted well.

My family got a little scared when I came out with it on, but their reaction was funny and an added bonus. I left it on for 15 minutes, it didn't dry at all and still felt very wet. It says you can rub in the product that is left on your face, but there was so much I wiped it off with a cotton pad. My face felt sticky for a few minutes afterwards but following on from that it felt super hydrated. I liked the result that it gave, my skin was glowing and fresh looking. In the morning my skin wasn't oily, it gave me a nice even level of moisture across my whole face.

I would use it again as a treat, or for a pamper night, but I don't think I'll be adding it into my weekly routine at $4.99 a pop.
