Hi my Loves,
So I am on a bit of masking role at the moment. I have most of my other skin care down pat but I'm really hunting for holy grail status masks now. A few weeks ago I reviewed the L'Oreal clay masks for you all and I'll link that here if you guys want to check that out.
This week I have chosen to test out the Timeless Truth masks from beautybelle.ie. These masks were very kindly sent to me to try out based on my skin type & concerns - but AS ALWAYS my opinions are all my own and written because I love to share new finds with you guys, be them good OR bad.
I picked two masks from their range which I felt matched my skin well and these were the Timeless Truth 'Herbal Rejunvination Immortelle mask' (very fancy, I know) & then the Timeless Truth 'Bee Venom and Royal Jelly Miracle mask'.
Basically, with this company they stock two different types (or categories if you will) of masks - Functionality Masks & Bio Cellulose Masks and they are all sheet masks.
- What makes the the functionality mask that bit different to your normal sheet mask is the cloth of the mask itself has beneficial extracts ground into dried powder and then impregnated into the face mask cloth - I know right? WOW!
- What makes the Bio Cellulose masks so special is that they are made with natural fibers that help to form an elastic 3D mask which will feel like a second layer of skin on the face and allow the ingredients to be absorbed.
The website in detail explains what each mask does so it's easy for you to decide what one is best for you.
Another plus about this company is that you can buy their masks in single packet form or in packs of 5 once you know that you like your chosen one and the pack of 5 is at a discounted price.
(€5.67 for 1 mask OR €23.15 for 5)
This sheet mask is part of their Functionality category and claims to have a rich herbal infusion & Immortelle extract (this is a flower that grows in Mediterranean countries BTW that is used in many healing formulas) that will Nourish, Hydrate & stimulate the skin. This will lead to a reduction in fine lines, dryness & blemishes. It also claims to boost cellular activity leaving the face looking more toned, whilst the hydration will leave smoother skin.
That's a lot of claims right?
For me I can 100% vouch that it helped to clear dry patches and rid some stubborn blemishes (lingering from those L'Oreal masks) - my skin also felt lovely and hydrated which was amazing and something I always really struggle with is dehydrated skin (I'm bad with drinking water..).
The mask had a lovely fresh smell and not even a hint of a chemical smell, that's something that is VERY, VERY important to me. I honestly felt like this was a freshly prepared mask as opposed to being in a packet. The sheet itself was easy to apply and held on to the face well - it felt so nice I didn't want to take it off.
(€9.15 for 1 mask OR €38.21 for 5)
This specific sheet mask is part of the more luxurious Bio Cellulose range hence the more expensive price point. The claims of this mask are to stimulate the production of collagen & elastin to help smooth, lift and tighten the skin. This mask is really aimed towards anti aging which I believe you're never too young to start investing in (it's called ANTI-aging for a reason - preventing is easier than fixing). Bee venom itself is called natures Botox (I'll bathe in that thanks) and Royal Jelly is known as the 'Elixir of Youth' (I'll bathe in this too).
Okay, so sounds like a winning combo yes?
YES.
I used this mask before a night out and my skin literally looked amazing. It looked plump, smooth and felt beyond soft. My makeup also went on a dream.
This texture of this mask upon taking it out of the packet was a lot more fluid than the Immortelle mask - the Immortelle mask was more wet if you get whilst this had a more gel-like and rich consistency and this is the luxurious element of this mask.
I found this one a little more difficult to apply because of how fluid it was but it was nothing unmanageable just make sure you're near a sink applying it. It had the same fresh appeal as the Immortelle mask and no chemical smell.
Final thoughts
My final thoughts on these masks are that I loved them so much I will be purchasing some more myself and other variants. I know that the price of some of the masks in these collections are steeper than some that I've seen in boots etc. but the ingredient list speaks for itself. The ingredients in these masks make them worth every cent. I can't speak for everyone but I'm of the opinion that you have one face, so take care of it - spoil it - use good products and avoid harsh chemicals. If a mask works I will pay for it rather than wasting money on cheaper masks that do nothing, I am not about the life of putting bad things on my face and you shouldn't be either!
If you asked me to pick which of the two I liked the most, it's a very close call - but I would say the Bee Venom and Royal Jelly mask; I loved how luxurious this one felt and I loved that the results were so noticeable.
Have you guys got any products you would like me to review for you all? Is there something you are intrigued to know about and if it's worth the money? Leave me a comment below and I will definitely look into all suggestions!
Have a lovely weekend! <3
With Love from,
