It's been a long time without doing a single skincare review. The product I'm going to be reviewing today is the Fresh Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask. I do want to put a disclaimer, I do not have the full size of this, but rather the sample version of it. I don't know if anyone cares for that information, but I just wanted to say it before people ask why the mask looks like a tiny pea in the photos.
Before, I start this post please subscribe to this blog for more post like this,follow my instagram @thefallenwaddles and let's start!

DETAILS
To buy the full size version of the mask it would cost you $92 in US money without taxes. $92 isn't really walking around money or at least for me. I could buy a cart filled with Hershey's bar and call it a day. However, if you're someone who likes to invest in skincare than I guess you won't mind this price tag. The full size of this mask is 3.3 fl oz or 100 ml. I will say this, I didn't need to use a lot of product to spread this across my face which is why I'm assuming this will last you quite a long time. I don't know what in this product, but it has a refreshing smell to it. There's almost a slight banana fragrance in it, but it's like really slight. The texture of this product is nicely whipped I guess the word will be and reminds me of finely mash potatoes. The product has an yellowish/whitish color to it, and I didn't really notice any color when I applied it.

FIRST IMPRESSION/THOUGHTS
I will say upon the first impression, I'm impressed. When I started using this, I was suffering from dry/flaky skin along with redness across the cheeks. With one use of this, I noticed that my skin felt smoother and more hydrated which is a good sign. The redness in my skin also slightly dial down.
I'll be using this more throughout time and will keep this updated. But that is my first impression. I will say this. I do like the product, but what draws me back from it is really the price. It honestly is how you perceive skin care, would you really invest $92 US dollars for a simple mask.
I know it's not completely fair to bash a product for its price point, but I'm a broke child who can't afford a bag of chips. I don't get an allowance basically and Adsense only works when people click on ads which people don't... $92 can do a lot in the eyes of a child and it could buy a lot of Korean skincare or other masks.
Overall, I would rate this mask a 4.5. I can't say anything with the anti-aging aspect since I'm only a teenager and don't have to worry about that for a little longer. It did leave my face hydrated and smooth. It was kinda fast acting which I basically mean I can see result from a single use or at least for me? Again, when I wrote this it was merely a first impression on the product and I will keep you updated as days progressed on this post. Also, I saw someone write they used this as a sleeping mask and it left their skin feeling plump. I'll try that out and see how that goes. :)

AFTER 2 WEEKS
After using this mask about 2 weeks, I noticed my skin has been more hydrated. My skin stopped flaking. I noticed my redness dial downed. I don't use this mask for over 5-10 minutes. I normally placed it on for a bit longer than suggested to soak in all the benefits that this mask gives me.
