Boscia Luminizing Black Mask

   I got this mask a few weeks ago along with the pore strips. This is probably my first time trying a peel off mask. The masks that I own are either wash off ones or sheet masks. So, I'm pretty excited to give it a try and because it's black too. I read the directions and gave it a try tonight after cleansing and toning my face. The mask did let off a bit of a strong smell as I started squeezing the gel out. The direction said to apply a thick layer and I thought to myself, "how thick should I make it?". I asked that question to myself because the gel dries up pretty fast as I'm trying to apply it all over my face. I tried my best to cover most of my face besides eye area, eyebrows, lips and hairline. While I was putting the gel on my face, the gel did sting my eyes a bit so I had to close it when applying near the eye area. The gel mask tightened up within 5 mins of application. I followed the directions and waited for 30 mins. Indeed, the gel mask dried up and feels pretty smooth.

   I began to peel it off 30 mins later as my timer went off and it felt dry by then. It was quite hard to peel at first because the outer edges of the mask was too thin ( I didn't apply enough gel on the outer edges). I started with the thicker areas around my chin and worked my way up. Indeed, this was not an easy task because I have to peel it slowly and carefully. The mask really stuck to my skin and I felt like I was using a pore strip for my face. I would recommend to not put the gel close to your eye area since the skin there is the most sensitive. Finally, it took me at least 10 mins including washing off the residue to completely take off the mask. I immediately touched my face and it felt pretty smooth :) My first try at a peel off mask wasn't too bad even though I felt like I squeezed a lot of the gel out.
