I got this face mask a couple of months back and have used it many times now. I got this mask basically for the reason that I wanted to get a simple no-hassles face mask that could be effective for my oily-combination skin. This was my second face mask from Oriflame after trying their Oxygen boost face mask. Below goes the review:

My experience with this face mask:
Since, I have neither dry skin nor mature one, so I was wondering what miracles it could do to my skin. The mask comes out in a cream with balanced consistency, a divine fragrance and a buttery touch to it. When I applied it the first time, I felt as if I was applying some face cream. The mask glides on well and as per the directions given on the cover; I usually lather my face with dense amount of this mask.
I'd keep it on my face for 15-20 minutes and wash it of. It gives me slightly tingling sensation during the initial few minutes of application, which tells me that the mask is doing something (good!!) to my skin. On washing it off after 15-20 minutes, I find my facial muscles quite relaxed and my skin smooth and glowing. The glow stays for at least 3-4 days after which the usual tiredness and pollution starts showing again, and I have to re-apply it.
Even though everything is good about this mask, the cost is something I didn't like. The effects and everything that I got from this mask were exactly same (may be a bit different which I didn't notice) to what I got from their Oxygen boost face mask, which is much cheaper. So, on that note below are some of the likes and dislikes that I've felt about this face mask:
Likes:
1) It comes with a handy and lovely tube packaging with an open screw lid for ease of usage.
2) The face mask is quite easy to use with its creamy texture that glides on well. I don't have to bother about any mess. It works simply the way you'd apply a face cream on your face.
3) I like the way it works on my skin. The gentle tingling sensation works well in cleansing my face well and giving it that natural and healthy glow. Also the mask is hydrating as I've not felt any need to apply any moisturizer on my face after using this mask.
Dislikes:
1) Price is too high, and you can find the same effects with Oriflame's Oxygen Boost face mask (that is what I felt for my skin), so I'll skip this high priced one and go with the Oxygen boost mask next.
2) It contains parabens
2) It contains parabens
Overall verdict: It is a good face mask for oily-combination skin. Since, I didn't find it drying; I feel it can be good for dry skinned beauties too. I however, would try to use it again after some 15-20 years to notice any difference from Oriflame's oxygen boost face mask. As of now, I won't be buying it again.
