A Budget Moisture-Boosting Mask


I've been eyeing this one up for a while but kept forgetting to pick it up until recently. While I normally like something a little more luxe in my skincare, Una Brennan happens to be the maker of one of my favourite cleansers ever and so I was just itching to try some more from their range and my verdict?

Okay. Slow down. It's not the Superfacialist by Una Brennan Cleansing Oil that I'm constantly harping on about, but it is nice. I found that the mask applies nicely to the face and sets down in a semi-clay-mask type way, only not so firm. When you have the mask on, it feels like there's a hit of hydration every time you move your face a little which is nice and I can imagine that, for this reason, it would be a lovely mask to wear in the bath.

It says "Suitable for even the most sensitive skin" but I'm not sure how truthful this claim is, I don't normally get any sensitivity (especially not with products that target dehydration as a skin concern) but this mask left me a teeny bit red in the face on removal. My skin felt nice and soft after use however it's definitely not the nicest hydrating mask I've ever used for a 10-minute hydration hit I prefer the Clarins HydraQuench Cream Mask but if you have a little more time on your hands then the Origins Drink Up Overnight Mask still reigns supreme for me in the hydrating mask category.

That being said, it's still a nice product and a good budget buy if you're trying to stretch last months pay-check and it would also be good for the more youthful among us if you're out every weekend and you feel like your skin needs that extra boost.
