Holiday VoxBox Review - Montagne Juenesse Strawberry Souffle Mask

I was lucky enough to be one of the Influenster users to receive a Holiday VoxBox full of goodies. This post is about one specific item, the Montagne Jeunesse Strawberry Souffle Masque.

I'm sitting here with the strawberry souffle masque on now and it's nice. The strawberry smell isn't overpowering, more like you would imagine a strawberry whipped cream would smell. (It is making me want some strawberry covered cheesecake though!)

The trial packet was enough to cover my whole face with a thin layer and the product has a small amount of grittiness in it that will help with a little bit of exfoliation as I wash it off. 

This type of masque hardens in about 15-20 minutes (you can tell it's done when you feel your face crack as you smile). Here's a picture of my face when I first applied the product (looking rough, I promise).

It looks white because my light is yellow but it is actually a pretty, light pink color. The package claims it to be a Moisturizing and Purifying Masque. Hopefully that doesn't mean it's going to pull anything to the surface because my surface is already suffering! 

My face is starting to crack so time to go wash it off. Next up is a horrible no makeup, post masque picture! 

My skin definitely feels smoother, although a little tight. I'd suggest following with a light moisturizer, in case the masque dries you out a little bit. My nose doesn't feel like a desert anymore though! I'll check back in a couple of days so you can see how long this feeling lasts.

FO: Penguin Ear Flap Hat

I actually finished this hat before the lapghan but I didn't think to post about it until afterwards.
It's an easy hat, perfect for beginners, and incredibly adorable. I got the pattern from Crochet Creative Creations and also you can find her patterns on Facebook under Crochet Free Patterns.

I didn't get a chance to do the white trim but I think it's still cute without it :)

FO: Lapghan for Mamaw

Finally I have another finished object to post! I had a couple of skeins of Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick N Quick laying around and started a 5 hour throw. It turned into a bunch of days throw.
The finished product is about 5 and 1/2 skeins. It's the size of the back of my love seat and super thick.
The green is what I started with and I didn't plan ahead very well or I would have done stripes. As it was, I ran out of yarn about ten rows in. So I grabbed a color that would match her couch (red) and her recliner (cream).
I'm hoping she likes it and actually uses it. I bought all of the yarn on sale so it only cost about $30 to make.

Enjoy the pics!
