Review: Boots Botanics Ionic Clay Mask #powerofplants

I received a travel size of the Boots Botanics ionic clay mask in my Influenster J'Adore VoxBox. You can read about it here.The first picture shows you the product and the a general idea of the size.


This product is runny, but applies very easy. It's similar to a sheer coverage bb cream consistency. It is an olive green color. It does not smell bad or have an overpowering scent.


Before applying I made sure my face was clean then applied the mask liberally all over my face being sure to avoid my eyes and mouth.


It dried super fast which is a plus. As it dried the color changed to a lighter shade and my face felt stiff. I left it on for 10 minutes as stated in the directions. Here is a close up of the mask as it was drying.


After I washed the mask off, I noticed that my face was extremely red and then it started to burn slightly. My face also felt very tight and dry. This was my first experience using a face mask so I wasn't sure what to expect or if this was a normal experience. I have sensitive, dry skin so this product may not be best suited for my skin type. The pictures below attempt to show the redness that occurred. My face is naturally red in the cheeks but not on my forehead or next to my eyes.




I am not sure that I will continue using this product.

Influenster J'Adore VoxBox

Last month I received my fourth VoxBox. It was packed full of goodies that I couldn't wait to try out.
  1. Family Size bag of Hershey's Kisses
  2. Four Red Rose teabags 
  3. Travel Size of John Frieda Frizz Ease 3 day straight flat iron spray
  4. Full size can of Vaseline Men spray lotion
  5. Pair of Kiss lashes
  6. Travel size of Boots Botanics ionic clay mask
The Hershey Kisses didn't last long with two kids in the house. I can honestly say they were immensely enjoyed by my daughters. 

I am a fan of Red Rose tea, but not flavored teas so I didn't try out the flavors included in the box. I will be passing those onto my mom as she is an avid tea drinker.


I'm no stranger to straightening my hair with a flat iron and using heat protector sprays. I was was excited to try out a new one, especially one that is cheaper than the one I currently use. The John Frieda 3 day straight flat iron spray has a nice scent and isn't sticky. It made hair look healthy and shiny after straightening. http://instagram.com/p/lq07CLwzU1/



I have gotten a Vaseline spray lotion in a previous voxbox and my husband really liked it. He was happy to try out the Vaseline Men spray lotion. He loved how easy it was to apply and how quick it absorbed. He enjoyed the scent too. He now prefers spray lotions to regular lotions so we will for sure be buying more of this. http://instagram.com/p/lqSj6QwzUA/



I've never worn fake eye lashes before, but have been very interested in doing so. My eyelashes are barely noticeable and mascara only helps so much for me. I was surprised at how easy Kiss natural lashes were to apply and how comfortable they felt. I am going to make more of an effort to add lashes into my beauty routine. I love the look of them.




I've never tried out a face mask before so it was a new and weird experience. I'm going to have to wait to see how my skin reacts to the product before deciding if I will continue using the Boots Botanics ionic clay mask. It left my face very tight, dry, and red. The product is runny, but dries fast. It has no overpowering smell which is also a plus. http://instagram.com/p/lqoBDZQzTw/
