The Bottom Line

Become Beauty: Color Therapy Masks are interesting, and certainly a product that you won't forget using. While they leave your skin soft, it doesn't deeply hydrate as they claim it will. I had 3 extra friends review this product with me, and while there were pros and cons for us all, none of us would buy these masks.

Pros

  • Give a nice cooling sensation.
  • Leaves your face super soft.
  • No mess involved - peel wrapping, stick on, pull off, throw away.

Cons

  • Doesn't stay stuck to your face in certain areas such as your nose.
  • While it's not messy, it's not that convenient. (As in, you'd never want to leave your bathroom!)
  • Doesn't leave your skin with the intense moisture you'd expect.

Description

  • A two-piece facial masks that sticks to your face for 15-20 minutes.
  • It's supposed to use your senses by mixing color and smell to get you in the desired state-of-mind.
  • The masks come in a box of 6 which include 2 of each: Revitalizing, Relaxing and Rejuvenating.

Guide Review - Become Beauty: Color Therapy Masks

Become Beauty: Color Therapy Masks are anti-aging peel off and stick on facial masks. The idea is that your mind engages in the senses involved, using color and aromatherapy to guide your mind to either a relaxed, revitalized or rejuvenated state. You simply peel off the piece of paper and place the first piece on your forehead and the second piece on the bottom half of your face. Leave on for 15-20 minutes and you'll have softer, smoother skin.

After I tried my first Color Therapy Mask, I knew I was going to need to get some other opinions on the masks, so I found some willing friends to give it a go. Here's what they had to say.

Candi used Relaxing and thought it was fun. She loved the scent and felt that her face was hydrated enough that she didn't need moisturizer afterwards. She didn't feel that it was all that convenient and the mask didn't stick to her nose very well. Would she buy them? No.

Jan used Revitalizing and was surprised at how well they stuck to her face, even through her hysterical laughing at the mirror. She did feel her face was softer than before she used it, but not extremely hydrated. She also felt the smell was a bit too strong. Would she buy them? No.

Kathy used Rejuvenating and felt the mask was easy to use and loved the no mess involved. But she was surprised to see that her face was no more hydrated than when she applied her normal moisturizer. She also thought the smell was a bit intense to be soothing. Would she buy them? No.

My Thoughts: I'm all for unique products, but I didn't love these masks. The nose didn't stay down on the sides, I didn't notice any color benefits, and besides being soft, I didn't feel moisturized. I spent most of the 15 minutes pushing down my nose, unable to fully relax. I loved the Revitalizing scent, but didn't care for Relaxing. Bottom line: For $6.50 a piece, I'll pass.
