Please tell me Im not the only one who thought this would be a mask that was filled with tomatoes or maybe a tomato sauce mask?
The colour, smell and texture was nothing like what I imagined it to be, here I was thinking it would smell like tomatoes, look red like a tomato and even taste like a tomato? I feel so foolish that my mind played tricks on me like that.
The formula is an off white colour (not red) and it feels like butter, when you rub it onto your skin it feels so soothing, it is lightly scented and it doesn't smell like tomatoes or even near it. When you wait for it to absorb into your skin it feels so relaxing.
Washing it off your skin is a little hard, using a wash cloth in warm water helps remove any excess product.
You wont stop touching your skin, it feels so plump, soft and smooth, kind of like a tomato just without the redness.
Highly recommended to all if you love face masks or tomatoes.
I got this from my good BR friend who loves to share her goodies with me (bless her). She gave me two big bundles of Tomatotox samples, which I have been lusting after for so long. I have seen and read the hype around the Tonymoly Tomatotox for a while now and always wanted to try it for myself after falling in love with Red Apple tox Honey cream and Panda’s dream white magic cream. I am now hook, lined and sinkered!
I have loads of the samples in the tomato shape but it comes in an actual tomato container which is uber cute and calls to my geeky side loud and clear! I adore cute containers and this definitely ticks that box!
Because I can't read Korean I just assumed the directions of how to use it, after all it looks like a moisturising cream. I rubbed it on my face and was always grossed out by the sticky feeling it left on my face every time. I hated using it but once the sticky feeling passed (usually overnight) my face was left supple and hydrated. I had done this at least fifteen times. When I came to review it on BR I found that in the directions you are to use it as a face wash/mask! How silly do you think I felt?! About as cabbage as you can feel hehe. From that point on I used it for its intended purpose and oh wow the results intensified. I was happy to bid farewell to that sticky feeling and welcomed a fresh, soft new canvas.
I have now bought the Tomatotox from a nz importer and oh the softness continues. I am so glad my friend allowed me to try it and love it. My skin thanks Tonymoly and my friend! My skin is less dry, less red and the flaky patches have mostly cleared up. I make this part of my night routine now to maintain this feeling I love so much. Try it, you won't be disappointed.
Tips: Wash off, don't leave it on like I did.
