Review: Montagne Jeunesse Chocolate Masque

A while back, I was contacted by Spanaticz Phillipines.
I was asked if I would like to review their product, and of course, I said yes!
You know me, always wanting to discover and explore new beauty products.
I was really thrilled to find out that the product is a face mask.
Spanaticz sent me a press kit, which included a packet of
Montagne Jeunesse Chocolate Masque.
One packet contains 20g or 0.7 oz of products, which is very generous amount.
One packet can be used for atleast 4 to 6 applications depending on how thick you apply.
The texture is like your typical mud mask.
It's very thick, but it dries down for a few minutes.
What I specially love with this particular mask is the scent.
I really smells like real chocolate!
It smells so good that I was tempted so bad to have a taste!
One tip I can give is to have chocolates in hand so you wouldn't be tempted to munch on the mask :))
The performance of this mask is superb for oily skin!
I felt my skin was balanced.
For a few days after the mask application, I noticed that I haven't been oiling up as much.
It also made my pores look smaller temporarily.
It exfoliates well too, since the flaky spots on my skin was gone after the application.
The mask is also a great addition to your skin detox system, since it really cleanse the skin.
You can really feel the cleanliness of the skin, and you can see it too!

Verdict:
9 / 10
I took a point out since, I prefer it to be in a squeeze tube than in a packet.
Performance wise, it's great!
Plus, it's affordable too!
I'm so impressed that I bought the other masks under the brand too!
I'll review those soon!

If you would like me to review something, just comment below!


My top priority in my trip abroad is to acquire face masks so I've bought quite a number.
I bought My Beauty Diary masks as well as some random masks.

Of course visiting Asian beauty stores wouldn't be complete without buying some nifty beauty tools! I bought Dariya Hair Fringe thingy, Silk Whitia Microfine Cloth body belt, Mascara guard, Shiseido Lash Curler, Oil Blotting Sheets, and Nexcare Acne Dressing.

Let me tell you, the Nexcare Acne Dressing is so AMAZING!
On the first day of my Hong Kong trip, I broke out so bad because of the sunscreen I used; so when I saw some cosmetics store selling these, I grabbed one a tried it out immediately when I returned to the hotel. It really works! It got rid of my smaller pimples in just one night and the bigger one in 2 nights! It's definitely a miracle worker!

I also grabbed a few skincare products.
Villa Olive Gel, L'Oreal Hydrafresh Anti-Shine, and Choize Cleansing Milk.

I also bought some bargain makeup products!
Acmedica powder, BC Curvy Lip Silicone, La pensee stuff, Majolica Majorca palette, Sana Pore Putty Concealer, and some eyeliners.

I'm really impressed ny the La pensee stuff, it's really cheap but the texture and pigmentation is really up there with high end brands. The eyeshadows are absolutely marvelous! It's like the Veluxe Pearl finish of MAC eyeshadows. The blushes are great too!

I also bought a few high end stuff.
YSL Parisienne, YSL Rouge Pur, YSL The Bow Collection Lip Palette, MAC Satin Taupe, MAC Lady Bug, and Benefit Confessions of a Concealaholic.




This summer is my best summer so far!
I hope you had fun too!
Share what you did this summer!
