There was a big box waiting for me when I came home this evening.  On the side of the box read “Mary Kay”.  My order has arrived!  I quickly began the unpacking process to examine everything.

This order contained several Miracle Sets and specials such as the Etheral Bridal Look, the Modern Maven Bundle, and the Skip the Squat Bundle.  But the reason I am so excited about this order is because it contains the new Clear Proof® deep-cleansing charcoal mask. 

I’m not sure why I had to open it straight away, but there I was, standing at the kitchen table amid MK product and Styrofoam packing peanuts opening this little box which… oooh… smells good.  I was surprised at the minty fresh scent.  Apparently it contains extracts of rosemary and peppermint which my cat will also like.

I have to try it I thought I might be able to scare my catHe just wanted to smell my face See how pretty

Here is my take away: the Mary Kay Charcoal Mask is certainly fun.  But it will likely NOT scare your cat.  The mask smells good and provides a cooling sensation when applied to your skin.  It is not difficult to remove and requires only warm water to do so.   According to information I’ve read, the mask is formulated with activated charcoal which works like a powerful magnet withdrawing dirt and debris from deep within pores.  I’m feeling clean just thinking about that.

Like the information I’ve read, does it actually work to deep clean pores, absorb excess oil, and reduce shine?  Stay tuned for future reports
