Boscia The Art of Multi-Masking Limited Edition Peel-Off Mask Collection

Long time no speak!  It has been so long since I last blogged.  I occasionally posted my youtube videos here in case some of you wanted to be updated about my new videos that way, but this is the first time I'm sitting down to write to you in a while.  I've been thinking about blogging more lately, but for some reason it has been difficult to do.  As a youtuber, I find filming and editing easier than photographing and writing.  

Much has changed for me since the last time I wrote.  I have since moved to Washington, D.C. and am settling in nicely.  I'm still working as an attorney, but remotely, for my current firm.  I'm looking for a new position here, although working from home is quite comfortable.

When I'm not typing up legal documents I'm busy on social media and purchasing new goodies to try out.  A while ago, Sephora had a sale on Boscia's peel-off mask kit, called The Art of Multi-Masking, and it actually happens to be on sale now on Boscia's site.  I decided to take advantage of the sale and try out my first peel-off masks.


The kit comes with four deluxe sample sizes of some of their masks, including the Luminizing Black Mask, Bright White Mask, Cool Blue Calming Mask, and the Green Tea Oil-Control Mask.  


The great thing about these masks is that you can mix and match them - you don't have to put one mask on your face.  You could theoretically put all four on your face!  I opted to try out the Black and White masks for my first time.



The Bright White Mask, which I put all over my forehead, is to help even your skin tone and reduce hyperpigmentation.  I have hyperpigmentation all over my face, so I may try using it all over, but I wanted to mix and match this time.  The Luminizing Black Mask removes dirt and impurities and helps to minimize the appearance of pores.  I put this over the majority of my face, and especially around my nose, since I have big pores and often get acne in those areas.  I love the Detoxifying Black Cleanser from Boscia's Black line, so I figured I'd love the mask.

The kit comes with a brush to help you brush on the mask.  You have to put on an opaque and thick layer of the mask, otherwise it becomes incredibly difficult to peel off.

This was all I could peel before I had to just wash it off.  The layer was too thin.
 The masks didn't seem to have any particular smell, although I will say my eyes started watering after brushing the mask on.  I'm pretty sure that's bad, but whatever - they were fun to put on and even more fun to peel off!

Peeling off the mask
Overall my face felt nice and smooth after removing the masks, but time will tell as to whether the White mask actually brightens.  I can't wait to try the Blue mask, which helps hydrate the face, since I have been having issues with dry skin since moving to the east coast and dealing with this cold weather.  I think this is a nice set that lets you try almost all of Boscia's many peel-off masks, and there is something in the kit for every skin type.

If you don't want to commit to the set, Sephora has a "medley" of the masks that allow you to try each mask, once, for $18.  Check that out here.
