last christmas we went to singapore and my husband told me to get anything that i like. before he said that, i already wanted to get a set of mask, either from origins or pixi. unfortunately, at my first visit to sephora, i couldn't find any origins, which is number one on my wishlist. so i got the pixi one instead. although i was hesitating because the size of each mask is too small. but at the end i got it anyway.
this is the description from their website: a purifying, glow-revealing clay mask to purify and balance skin - it's our signature 15-minute facial! stimulate, clarify, and brighten skin with this revitalizing mask. the mineral-rich treatment absorbs oil, draws out impurities, and fights breakouts while giving an energizing boost to the complexion. kaolin & sea salt purify while ginseng & aloe vera balance.

the packaging: since i bought this in a set, it comes in a box and on the inside, there's a plastic slider where there are all three masks is placed. there's a transparent plastic at front so you can see all three from the outside. at the back, there's a description for every masks in english and french. at the top of the box there's a three boxes that indicates which one is which mask from the top. on the side, there's an ingredients list for all the masks.

the scent: okay, this might be weird, i thought it would be unscented or smell foul, but it has this lightly floral scent, but very subtle.

the product: the mask comes in a tiny light green plastic tube with screw cap. at the back there's a description about the mask. the tube is similar to the full size tube, but this one only has a third from the full size weight, about 15 ml while the full size is 45 ml. see.. this is where i'm disappointed about. it is so tiny and the price is sooo expensive. there's an aluminium foil covering the opening of the tube so you don't have to worry about it being exploded in your baggage. the mask is thick grey cream that easily spread around my face. it gives instant cooling sensation from the moment i spread it out. it will harden after a couple minute and it takes 10 minutes to dry completely. afterward it will look like dried mud on my face.

the result: it washes off easily and afterward i can see my face is brighten. i can feel my face is smooth and soft and my pores looks clean. but this one is a bit drying, though it's not as drying as innisfree or face shop clay mask, but it's not moisturizing unlike peter thomas roth one.

i've tried this a couple times over the past month, and i have to say i like this one. it works well as mud mask. it cleans my pores but not super drying on my skin. it also gives cooling sensation which is heavenly feeling on hot days. but i don't like how the full size is only 45 ml with that hefty price tag while i can get freeman mud mask which is about 100 ml with lots of affordable price. which makes me think to compare them both. fortunately, i have a freeman mud mask in my stash, so i will make another mask battle after this, so stay tune. i can definitely see this will work on every skin tone, even on dry skin since this one is not so drying. but if you're tight on budget, i'd say don't waste your money. you can get other product with more affordable price and gets the similar result. but if you want to try something from pixi and you have the budget, you should try this one.
