Review: Seacret Mud Mask

I was introduced to the Seacret at my mall. One of the little vendor people had a whole line of the Seacret products. The guy was trying to sell everyone who passed on Seacret's Nail Care Collection. I hastily walked past him to avoid him reaching out and taking my polish off. About the third time i saw him in the mall, i stopped at his booth. He showed me how shiny this stuff could make my nails, i won't lie i was pretty amazed. I went to school that week ranting and raving about how awesome Seacret was. One of my friends ended up buying me the whole nail care kit (which was awesome of him). The stuff was phenomenal! And the lotion that came with it? Wonderful! I was officially hooked.

I had stopped using the kit after high school for some reason and recently picked it up again.
This reuniting lead me to go online to find out what other products they had, and if there were any improvements or additions.  There was! I found their mud masks, and i had to try one out. 

Initial Reaction: OMG this is so exciting my first real mud mask!!!! It's so cute!!

Double Take: ...that smell eugh.. not so cute. 

When i first put it on, it feels really sooth. Then after i let it sit for a bit, it kind of burns. Maybe it's more of an intense tingle, but i can definitely feel it. The smell is something to be brought up. It's really really bad. Almost like actual mud, that's honestly what it reminds me of.


After about two or three minutes, when the mask is dry, it has a cooling effect. It dries very stiff. I personally like that about it, but if you have sensitive skin this mask would not be a good idea.
I would recommend this product for combination to oily skin types because of the way the mask dries on the skin. The burning/tingling feeling when you first put the mask on will irritate sensitive skin. Once past that feeling the mask is quite refreshing. The longer it's worn the better it feels. I'm not sure if that is because i am getting used to the feeling or that it's actually going away. 


After worn for four to five minutes the smell goes almost completely away (thankfully). 
To remove the mask from my face i take a towel, drenched in warm water, and rub in circular motions. It comes off very easily. The cleanness it leaves behind is amazing. i feel as if my face as never been this clean in my life. It also leaves my skin feeling very smooth. It looks as if i put a primer on. 


Should you try this if you have...
  • Sensitive skin: no
  • Combination skin: yes
  • Oily skin: yes
You can also find this product on ebay for a fraction of the usual cost :)

Overall Rating: 4/5
