My GlamGlow 'ThirstyMud' Review

October 6, 2016

hey all!
happy thursday!
y’all probably don’t remember, but a long time ago (like in january 2015) i wrote this post here about glam glow.
first of all, if you do not know what glam glow is, glam glow is a beauty company that makes skincare products.
i have been using their ‘supermud’ for more than a year (as you can see from my very old blog post) i typically use it once per week in spot treatments on my chin or nose because the price point is really not one i would like to make very often, and i have only bought this product twice, so i have been extremely lucky (or just been able to extend as long as possible).
so recently i decided to try out glam glow’s ‘thirstymud‘ product…
i typically have a combination face, with an oily t-zone (my forehead, nose and chin) i usually get black/white heads in those spots (caused by over oil production and clogged pores). i was extremely skeptical of this product because i really don’t need that ‘moisture’ because typically only have dry spots on my cheeks, which i use moisturizer for.
the product claims to be “THIRSTYMUD™ uses the newest, most advanced, and extreme hydration active technologies. It moisturizes, restores, replenishes, and calms the skin. Dewdration™ boosts and locks in moisture for a dewy and youthful result while HydraPack™ leaves skin with an instant silky, soft, and supple feel. GreenEnergy™ smooths and energizes the skin, giving you a healthy-looking, glowing complexion.” (according to Sephora)
so first i opened the package…

and its really pretty. i love the color, the metallic blue and the star, its very minimal, something i am sure y’all know that i love.
so i tested the mask…
i typically use very drying products because i need my oily t-zone to be less oily to not only get rid of the oil, but also the pimples. this creates a total drying effect on my face.
this mask totally restored moisture to my face. i am not kidding, my face feels moist, but not only, which is a total win for me, because when my face is not oily it is completely dry.
s0 i am super excited to continue using this because i have only used it once.
i hope you enjoyed!
xoxo
