The Next Morning - REVIEW: SANCTUARY: BRIGHTENING FACIAL, MOISTURE BOOSTING MASK

Morning Beauties!

Well, anyone that read my review of the facial mask yesterday knows that I promised to tell you what my skin was like the next morning.

When I woke up I was very nervous to look in the mirror. If it was anything like yesterday, I knew that I would be up against a struggle and would not be leaving the house.
Before having a look, I had a feel to try and prepare myself. My skin felt calm and smooth and thankfully the itching had stopped. I wouldn't say that it felt quenched like the product claimed, it just felt the same as it does any morning but after the reaction last night I was happy with this.

When I looked in the mirror, It wasn't as bad as I thought that it was going to be. My skin had mostly returned to its normal pale tone but there are still some red blotches around the cheek and chin area. The effected areas have decreased in size and are now only about 10% of the size that they were. Make up is going to be needed.
My skin also looks like a have not had a good night sleep and is looking more thirsty than it did before I applied the mask.

Make Up
 As I am meeting people today, I have had to apply a fine layer of make up to hide the redness.
I have used Maybelline Pure Liquid Mineral Foundation which I also use when I need coverage but my skin needs to breath. It is Mineralised Water, oil free and has SPF 18.
On my forehead (which wasn't affected by the mask) the foundation covered well. However, on my cheeks, chin and part of my nose, my foundation appears really cakey as my foundation is struggling to settle into the skin.

Final view
I still really dislike this product and I am truely gutted about this.
As I have said in my previous review, maybe it was my skin, you never know but I doubt that.
I honestly wanted to claw my skin off to be rid of it.

I advise if you do try this, not to do it before a big event or anything like that.
Have water close to hand to remove it quickly from your face, if a reaction begins to occur or you feel any discomfort or a feeling you are not happy with.
Try not to apply a moisturiser straight after using the product, let your skin get some air for a while.

Love your skin. Take care of it.
