THE EMPIRE
So yea’l know I’m not one for fads and I do this shit in the interest of saving you the trouble if its shit..
That being said, my skin is far from perfect so things like this I do take an interest in..
I’d seen all the videos around on the net about how hard they are to peel off and all those reaction videos, but if it was gona do a good job, it was gona be worth it? RIGHT?
So like many of you, I saw the ad on facebook and did the click through to see what the prices were like, the place I clicked on, ” Blackhead masks NZ ” www.blackheadstrips.co.nz Were having a sale and since going back to the site to get the info for this, I see they are basically giving them away.
I bought them from the website 5 packs for $20 ( so no this isn’t one of those influencer deals like others on instagram / facebook so I can be 100% honest – not that I should have to point that out but, ya know)
A couple days later I get in the mail my 5 little sachets, I thought it best to shave for this and give my face a decent clean as I wasn’t sure what to expect, the videos I’d seen on their website from popular youtubers was in the very least misleading. In the video it seemed to have a lot pain on removal and seemed to pull out blackheads. Neither of these were the case for me.
As far as applying it, its really not hard I’d say if you’re gona try, cut a small corner off instead of a total tare of the top section to try and get some kinda management as the black fluid is messy if it starts getting places you dont want it. Applying it was pretty easy, it more or less sticks where you put it and you can layer it up over a couple passes to get a thicker mask. I found that the thicker it is the longer you need to leave it for example a 2 layer pass might take 15 mins to be ready to peel but 3 or more might take upto 25. It’s not recommended to keep it on more than 30 mins and the closest I got in my 3 days of trying it was about 25 minutes.
The Peel, Hugely over exaggerated, it more or less starts coming off it self at the edges after the first 15 mins or so, then its super easy to peel off and it really didn’t hurt at all, I really don’t see what all the fuss is about there, I guess just hype to sell a product. The whole mask came off each time in 1 piece and left very little extra left over, which came off easy with a face wipe with no hassle at all.
As for doing what it was supposed to do, which was remove blackheads, well .. It didnt, All these close up shots on the line of how much these pull out seemed to be really over hyped again, I tried the 3rd time to heat up my face with a hot flannel and open my pores but nope, still no quality results at all.
I found this product to be a complete waste of time and money and wouldn’t reccomend it to anyone.
Maybe its the brand who knows but this one ” Blackhead Masks NZ” was crap – I went to look at their feedback on their facebook page, they dont have feedback enabled, So i scrolled through the comments and found other people had had a similar experience, I shall be emailing them and will post their response
Lets see what else is out there hey?
