if you have read my other post, you'd probably knew that i bought several mask set during my holiday in singapore. i like the idea of mask set since i get to try several masks with cheaper price. it gives me the idea whether or not to purchase the full size version. at first i wanted to buy the origins set, but i couldn't find it so i bought the pixi one first. and i'm kind of regret my decision since the size is so small. but everyone seems to love pixi, so i thought it doesn't hurt to try it. i've tried the other two, and this is the last one that i try.
this is the description from their website: this 3-in-1, oil free, quick absorbing formula instantly moisturizes and brightens and is great as a revitalizing mask as well as a primer to prep skin for perfect makeup application.
this radiance-boosting balm is the ultimate pick-me-up for tired, lackluster skin helping with signs of fatigue in a flash. suited for all skin types. not tested on animals. paraben free.
to use as a treatment primer, apply a thin layer to face and neck after cleansing. to use as a mask, apply a thick layer and leave on for 5 minutes 2-3 times a week.

the packaging: since i bought this in a set, it comes in a cardboard box with a plastic slider where all three masks are placed inside. at the back of the box you can read the description for each masks. on the side, there's ingredients list for all the masks. the mask itself looks exactly as its full size version. for this rose balm, it comes in a plastic pink squeeze tube with green screw cap. there's a bit of description at the back of the tube. it has same weight as the other mask, which is 15 ml. and the full size is only 45 ml! now i wonder why they say pixi is an affordable brand as the sizing is small!

the scent: it smells like fragrant rose, similar to my old crabtree & evelyn rose bath products. it's quite fragrant, but it doesn't make me dizzy. but if you have very sensitive nose, then you should try sample.

the product: the balm is more like a pinkish white cream. it's as thick as my night cream, but i think it feels a bit like gel texture. it spreads easily, but i have difficulty to spread it out thickly as instructed when it's used as mask. i never tried it as makeup primer so i will only review it as hydrating mask.

the result: it seems to waste it if i put it for 5 minutes, so i stretch the wear time to 10 minutes before washing it off. first thing, it's difficult to wash this off using bare hands because of the texture. it's thick and slippery so using washcloth is probably the best option to wash this off. after that, i can feel my skin is moisturized but just so-so, it's not mind blowing or anything. it does brighten my skin though.

that being said, i don't think i will repurchase the full size. it's a standard hydrating mask and i think my body shop rose mask works just as well. i will compare them both soon, so wait for the comparison post. as for recommendation, i think if you have super dry skin, i don't think it's super moisturizing enough. but if you have normal to combination skin, it might works well for you. you should buy it if you have money to splurge, you love rose-scented product, or you love everything pixi. but if you don't, then there are other option out there. for me, it's not a must have item.
