Valentine’s Day is just around a
corner; so, I assume that everyone wants to be pretty on that special day. In
my case, I want to be pretty every day, which is why I try not to skip my mask
routine every week. I do it 2-3 times a week, whenever I get the chance. I
think of it as some sort of reward for doing all stressful things at home, at
work, and even at school.
Speaking of masks, today’s review
would be about another mask pack – the Baviphat Strawberry Toxifying Mask in
130g.
If you’ve been following my blog, you
should know by now that I’m such a crazy fan for super cute packaging. Yes, I
bought this baby mainly because it’s so darn cute. Who could resist a
strawberry inspired jar? Not me. Definitely, not me.
I bought it from a small boutique in
Davao City at a little more than Php 500, I guess. I’m so sorry; I could hardly
remember how much it was worth four months ago.
Php 500+ for a 130g product with an
insanely cute jar? I believe it’s a steal.

I should warn you though. Due to the
extra packaging features, the jar is relatively heavier than most cosmetic jars
in the market. The ‘strawberry’ seemed to take most of its bulk, but in my
case, it’s just fine. After all, I only use this particular mask at home. I use
sheet masks when I travel, so the bulky strawberry is no biggie for me at all. I
hope it wouldn't bring any problems to you, too.

It looks like strawberry, but does it
smell like strawberry?
 |
| The pink creamy substance will definitely remind you of strawberries! |
I, for one,
love its sweet strawberry scent. It doesn’t smell too artificial, unlike those
other strawberry-inspired cosmetics I used in the past.
 |
| Definitely soft and creamy, but don't eat it! |
Texture
It’s soft and creamy, and like most
masks, it’s pretty easy to spread. However, it would start to solidify after a
few minutes, so when you put this mask on, do it fast! Wait, not so fast, but
relatively fast.

It’s not a peel-off mask, but it solidifies anyway. I think it helps with tightening your pores, or something like that. Instructions indicate that you will have to put it on for 20 to 25 minutes before washing it off.
Taking it off
Most wash off packs are relatively
difficult to wash off. This one, unfortunately, is not an exception at all, and
if you’re clumsy enough, you might end up in a messy situation. I've been there,
and it’s particularly difficult for me not to be messy whenever I use this.
After all, when it comes in contact with water, it binds with the water then
creates a texture similar to watery paint.
I suggest washing it off at least two
to three times, and check regularly for white residues, especially along the
contours around the nose.

Results
Good. My rating would probably fall
in 4.00 out 5.00, which is not bad at all. I appreciate it because it helps my
face look and feel squeaky clean and soft. To add, I think it has significantly
reduced my acne and my red spots, but then again, the results are only
temporary – I guess for only four hours or more? Nonetheless, it’s worth a try.
Not bad, but I think it would take
more for it to fully land as an HG. It surely is nice, but I think I’ll not
repurchase this for a while.
I guess that sums it all up.
