Balea Deep Cleansing Face Mask



Tried this out a few weeks back and even saved the other half to mask again, but totally sluffed.  What a waste!  These packets have at least 2 applications, so be sure to seal this up or store the extra in an empty jar.  This was a clay mask had a cooling feeling to it which was nice.  I do enjoy a good clay mask that will help draw out impurities.  And draw them out it did.  Sometimes your skin gets worse after masks because of the dirt and grime that get pulled to the surface.  I had a few blemishes show up after a few days, but nothing a topical salicylic acid treatment couldn't help fix.

Pros:
-Affordable
-Easily 2 applications

Cons:
-Only found in Canada

Would I recommend this to a friend?  Maybe.  I wasn't able to find this on the Think Dirty app, but something tells me it might have a high rating like the Balea Detoxifying Mask did.  Proceed with caution.

Sunday Night Masking: Balea - Detoxifying Face Mask

Another pick up from VanCan at Shoppers Drug Mart.  Cheap thrills!  At about $2 each, you get a full packet that is more than enough for your face.  I usually do a weekly mask on Sunday nights, when the week starts off and you want to have a fresh face.  


I was able to apply this on my face and neck and had extra that I should have saved, but ended up tossing.  This mask had a cool tingling effect, I was worried that I might have an adverse reaction and should have tested this on my arm before my face.  Ooops.  Well, good thing nothing happened and maybe it was the ingredients doing their thing and detoxing my face.

Cost: $2 CAN

Pros:
-Affordable
-Enough product in one pack for 2 treatments

Cons:
-I have only seen this brand in Canada
-Even with mostly natural ingredients, this was rated dirty on Think Dirty.

Would I recommend this to a friend?  No since it has a high dirty rating.  :(

CA Pick Ups


Spent a day in Vancouver, Canada with my bestie. Our intention was to hit up the 
Richmond Night Market and hit up Robson Street for some retail hits. Rule of thumb, inform your bank when you leave the country. Oops!

Self-care items are always on my list when traveling to different areas. Mainly for products or brands that are local or even hard to find items I can't find at home.

-Saje Bath Salts in Stress Relief & Goddess.
-Balea Face Masks
-Extra Professional Gum

The Extra gum was a random purchase. For amusement purposes. Supposedly leaves your mouth feeling clean. Umm, ok. Thought that was an interesting claim!  Looking forward to using the bath salts and face masks & reviewing.
