Garnier Hydra Bomb Chamomile Tissue Mask Review

I love a good tissue mask, and was really excited to see Garnier come out with some. I saw this in Farmers for $4.99. Containing soothing ingredients such as chamomile, hyaluronic acid and a hydrating serum, this product describes itself as a "Hydra Bomb", and it's not wrong. The mask is a standard size and some manipulation is required. The liquid has no discernable scent and is clear. After applying to face, I used some of the excess liquid to apply to my neck, and decolletage area and chilled for 15 mins. After removal you can either massage leftover product into skin, or remove with tissues. I chose to massage in. I applied this before bedtime, so used it as my nightcream that night. The next day, my skin was plump, and soft and some of the redness had calmed. The oride seems a bit steep, especially when you can buy some other really good tissue masks, with good quality ingredients, @ 5 for $12, but i guess they are cheaper than the SK-II ones lol.

I was super excited to try this mask, so when the courier knocked on the door, I quickly picked up the item and ran to the couch to do my thing.

I opened the package, which is a really nice package and easy to open, and pulled out the mask. My goodness!! It is FULL of hydrating gel. I unfolded it and placed it on my face, following the very simple instructions. I found it a bit small around the eyes and it irritated my eyelashes on the outside corner of my eyes, just touched them and made it a little uncomfortable. I pealed off the blue plastic and adjusted the mask and watched tv for 15 mins!

Carefully pulled the masked off and there was so much gel on my face, I couldn't rub it all in, so again, following the instructions, wiped the excess off.

My face was cool and hydrated. It's now been 3 hours since I applied it and my skin feels so soft and there is no ghastly smell.

Garnier has been a brand I've trusted and used heaps. It's easily accessible and pretty affordable. I was super excited to be a part of this trial team as I can never say not to a good facial mask especially if it's a sheet mask. What I love about it is that it's so easy to use, you just take it out of the packet, pop it on your face, take it off when you're done and you don't even need to rinse. I don't think there's really a strong smell to this, if any at all it's only a slight fragrant smell but very natural so it doesn't overpower or anything. I generally have pretty oily skin but I've recently found myself trying to hydrate my skin a bit more and this has definitely helped. I used it at night and woke up and my skin felt super soft and really moisturised. I'd definitely recommend this even if you have oily skin because rather than adding to the oils its more of a moisturising feeling.

when I got invited to trial a face mask I was beyond excited! I use face masks once every week because my skin gets so dry and I have at least 20 different kinds in my vanity. I was reading the back of the package and was super excited to see that this mask was inspired from Asia because that is where all of my favourite masks come from. I like the protective layer as it helps when you unfold the mask so that it does not break, this mask is very soft and delicate which feels amazing on the skin. It is also super easy to use and quick as you only need to leave it on for 15 minutes. afterwards it left my skin super glory and feeling very hydrated. Out of all of my face masks I have tried this one was definitely up there with one of my favourites and I am super excited because it is a drugstore brand! I would definitely give this mask a try because it gives you time to relax and it has a very nice cooling effect on my face when I have it on. and for the price, it is worth trying because some face masks can go up to $14.

The first thing I want to mention about this facial mask is how easy it is to use!

Super straight forward instructions and 100% relaxation.

My skin is a little on the fussy side. It's a combo of dry and acne prone with a little bit of oiliness depending on the season. Coming out of winter my skin was been dry and sensitive to certain products I've been using. Less than ideal but this mask is exactly what my face needed.

Applying the white side to my face and adjusting it to make sure it was on correctly j then peeled the blue side off and wha la. I say for 15 minutes and let it work it's magic.

Other than it being really gooey I felt nothing on the face, no sting, no ouch nothing. If anything it was refreshing! After the 15 minutes were up I removed the mask and noticed how less 'gooey' it had become. I massaged the remaining cream left on my face from the mask into my skin. While it felt quite tacky to start with my skin really did feel hydrated. My forehead has been the worst for dry skin and i swear my forehead loves it! My skin was soft and moisturised. 24 hours on and I hadn't needed to apply my usual moisturiser for the day!

I'm highly impressed with this mask. My skin absolutely loved it. I did wake with a couple of pimples on my chin but I can't say this mask was the cause. I'm keen to stockpile these beauty's, they even smell amazing!

Eek, I was so excited to trial this product! I have used this types of masks before, with various degrees in effectiveness, however I think this one would have to be one of my favorites...for the results. Getting the mask out of the packaging took a little bit of effort as the solution is quite goopy. Once out of the package, it took a bit of manourvering to fit onto the contours of my face...but it was a lot of fun trying! I left it on for the 15 minute suggested time. The mask solution felt jelly-like and extremely cold but soothing. On removal, my usually red complexion appeared calmed and normal. My skin feels completely saturated in hydration and is super soft to the touch. I am pretty impressed with the Hydra Bomb mask, it totally lives up to its name and I will definitely be repurchasing! I've had to put make up on for work and I can not believe how much less foundation my face required and how it's sits so nicely!

Super impressed!

This sheet mask surprised me so much! I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting much from Garnier as their products have not impressed me in the past, but this was just amazing.

The ONLY complaint I have is that the mask itself is a little bit too big too fit my face comfortably, however you're able to stick it to your face reasonably easily because the mask is drenched in serum.

I left the mask on for about 20 minutes, and then rubbed the excess serum into my skin. Once it had all sunken in I expected to need to moisturise my face as my skin tends to feel very tight and dry, but this left my skin feeling moisturised all day and for most of the next day. The packaging says that the mask provides long lasting moisture, and that is definitely true.

My skin also felt very cool, I have acne so my skin tends to be irritated most of the time, and I feel like this mask calmed it down a lot. I also think this mask helped to reduce pimple size, redness and amount of pimples that tend to pop up every couple of days.

I loved using this mask, I think it had an incredible effect on my skin and I will definitely be buying more.

My trial sample arrived about five minutes after I got out of the shower so because I was freshly cleansed and exfoliated I did this mask right away, that way I could see what kind of results I would get from it even a week later. So I read the instructions which are simple enough: apply tissue side to your face, once patted down carefully peel off the blue side and leave on for 15 mins, then remove and either massage the contents into the skin or wipe off. Getting it out of the sachet was easy enough though I have to admit the gel went a bit everywhere which I was unprepared for but they definitely don't skimp on the ingredients with this. (I even managed to keep some of the gel that I squeezed out of the pouch) I've never used one of these masks before so getting it to sit on my face was a bit of a mission, but an educational one as I think I can do it a lot quicker now that I've had a go. (I pity the person trying to design something that fits everyones face perfectly lol) The only issue with the tissue mask is that it can be hard to get it to sit on your face properly and comfortably so I had to get a little creative as I wanted to get the most out of it. So I took it on and off a couple of times each time trimming bits off the eye, nose and mouth areas and just widening it very slowly until I got it sitting really well on my face, patting it down was easy enough. I've used soft masks in the past, and felt pretty similar to wear. I left it on for a bit longer and waited until it was only slightly damp to the touch before taking it off. I decided not to waste any of the product and just massaged in the left over gel on my skin. It felt slightly sticky for a while but absorbed into my skin well though it took a few hours to dry completely but hey I've suffered through worse in the sake of beauty so wasn't terribly inconvenient. The next day I spent most of it patting my face so a definite difference in my skin and found I didn't need to moisturise for a few days ( I intentionally avoided using a proper cleanser on my face to see how long it would last and just used warm water and a washcloth instead) Even my friends have said they could see a difference in my skin tone and for a few days I didn't have those lovely dry patches on my eyebows and nose, so I think I might be adding these to my cupboard as I'm quite a happy customer after trying it out. Will be getting some for girls night!!

I confess that i have NEVER, (never have I ever) used a Tissue Mask before ...well up until now.

So when this fascinating piece of machinery appeared on my doorstep promising hydration and refreshment of my skin in 15 minutes, being an impatient person I was all up for it.

When I opened the pack you find the mask itself folded in two, and it's literally soaked in liquid. You unfold it, peel the backing paper off and smooth it on your skin.

My first reaction was 'my oh my' it feels so cooling on your skin and when you smooth it around your face it feels amazing.

I amused myself while I was waiting by checking some emails and drinking a cup of tea with my glasses on. What a picture! Even the dogs took a second glance!

When I removed it after 15 minutes, my skin just felt amazing, plumped up, hydrated and most important of all - my sleep deprived under eye bags, were almost completely gone.

I've gotta say...i'm a convert. And at under $5 i'll be stocking up. I can see my self using it on those Sunday mornings when you 'may' be a wee bit tired from the night before and just want to relax. It's a yes from me!

Oh seeing the reviews for the Garnier tissue masks I had to give them a go. I chose the chamomile mask as my skin is on the drier side and I love a good bit of hydration.

The mask was saturated in product, and I found it easy to unfold and apply (some sheet masks I've used have ended up in rips and tears - not this one!).

What I found interesting during the 15 minute mask time was how the tissue progressively felt drier on my skin, as if my skin was sucking in the product.

I peeled off the mask and there was a goodly amount of product on my face so I did as suggested and wiped off the excess with a cotton pad and massaged the leftovers in.

The result? Super glowy, super hydrated skin - that still looked great when I woke up the next day.

I highly recommend this to anyone who needs a boost of hydration - this even made my deeper wrinkles plump up!
