Friday Facial: Weekly Mask 2

I have so many masks in my bathroom. I'm using up ones Ive had and have used previously.  Hopefully before long I will start mixing up some of the homemade ones I posted a week or two ago.  However, I did order some organic honey to make one.

Friday Facial: Tonight I'm doing a Shiseido Benefiance Pure Retinol Intensive Revitalizing Face Mask.  This is the last one I have.  The box came with 8 pieces but only 4 masks.  It is available online and in department stores.  The best price Ive found is online for $62.50. 

Here's what Shiseido says about their product:

Here's what I think after using the product:

Just from the ingredient list.  I really dislike products that start out with Water as their largest ingredient.  Ive said this before.  That being said.  This is a good product but I wont repurchase often due to the price point.  I got this in a 8 piece of 4 masks.  The mask is in 2 pieces.  Package 1 is for the bottom 1/2 of your face and the packet 2 is for the forehead area.  There is alot of solution on the mask so u don't dry out before the time is up.  I don't feel you can use these more than once.  My skin feels smooth and soft and full of moisture.  My skin looks more radiant.  The dullness is gone.  I don't see any change in my dark circles but then nothing really helps that.  I cant expect miracles.  I would agree with their add that it does improve the look of fine lines and crows feet.  Overall, its a very nice feel.  I used the extra solution to place over my hands and so even they feel soft now. 

tip:  never throw away a mask that isn't totally dry.  Esp one of this quality.  After I had mine on for 30 min I then wiped the mask over my hands and massaged it in my cuticles.  It still felt like it could go some more and I did something I hadn't done before.  I used it on my feet.  I had such soft feet they were a bit slippery on the carpet so I had to put on house shoes to walk around the house for a short time.
