Glamglow Gravitymud Mask – I Tried It For You

Did You Know? In Mauritania, Africa – Obesity has long been the ideal of beauty, signaling a family’s wealth in a land repeatedly wracked by drought. Nomadic people struggling to survive the harsh desert came to prize fatness as a sign of health.

I’ve been reading beauty blogs & watching beauty YouTubers for a few years now. They suck me in & before you know it I’m 10 videos deep with a long list of new products I NEED. Then, I get to the store & notice the first item on my long list is .5oz of face cream that’s $90… and I have no money left for anything else. Story of my life.

I’ve gotten better at prioritizing. What’s worth the money & what isn’t. There are bloggers/YouTubers that I’ve learned not to trust & others that I have to rush out & buy their product suggestions immediately!

Face Masks are always a big deal for me. 1 – they’re all super expensive, so experimenting isn’t very easy. 2 – They’re ideal because taking good care of my skin helps with my no makeup routine.

I noticed this silver Glamglow face mask all over the place & finally thought, fuck it. I’ll spend the money, try it for a month, then tell you what I think. Are the expensive face products that everyone flaunts worth it?? I’m determined to find out & this mask was the first one off the picking block.

I went to Sephora & bought the Glamglow Gravitymud Firming Treatment Mask. It comes in a large package but a very small jar. Already kind of annoying considering it’s $70, but I’m committed.

The box says: “Firm, Lift, Tighten, Tone, Sexy Contours” and it’s supposed to be a solution for fine lines & wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and loss of firmness & elasticity.

I brought it home & immediately tried it. There’s a small brush inside the box that’s super helpful with the application process, which I loved. Once it was on my face I let it sit for 30 minutes, then proceeded to “peel” it off.

This is the part that annoys me about the mask. Everyone is so pumped up about the mask peeling off, but it doesn’t. I mean sure it kind of peels off if you use a super thick layer of product & carefully spend your time trying to successfully peel off as much as you can, followed by rinsing off the rest. I’d just as well wash the whole damn thing off. Weird for me, the “peeling” part. Maybe the same people that enjoy popping zits would enjoy attempting to peel off a mask? Doesn’t get me going. So, that part of the mask for me is a major fail & a dumb reason to spend money.

I continued to use the mask 3x a week for an entire month. Sometimes before bed, other times before applying makeup, and also in the mornings on days where I wouldn’t wear makeup. I should mention, the little jar of product does last awhile & it’s a more comfortable mask to wear with a yummy sent.

Once I took the mask off, my skin felt fresh & a little gummy. In a good way, almost like a dewy primer. That part I liked.

Overall, I think this mask is good when you have somewhere to go. Keep in your drawer for the days you have an event to go to or you’re traveling & need a wake up for your face. After a month, I didn’t notice any super noticeable differences in fine lines or firmness. Unless I used the mask that day or night before, my face doesn’t look or feel any different than before I bought the little jar. You know what I mean? It was nice to have for the day, but it’s not a miracle worker long term.

Would I buy it again? Maybe. I can see where it’s nice to have in the rotation of your face products but I don’t see what the rage is about the mask. I wish I could rage about it. I’m going to try a few other Glamglow masks that also have positive reviews & see if there’s one that really makes me a believer. I’d be happy to report back.
