Product Review: Montagne Jeunesse Facial Masks (Masques)

There are a variety of health and beauty aids on the market today, and then there are fun products made to pamper yourself. Montagne Jeunesse product packages seem to bring the best of both worlds--beauty and pampering--together in their product line. I first discovered the Montagne Jeunesse products at my local Wal-Mart, of all places, and I was immediately attracted to their colorful and creative packaging, but I wondered if the products would actually provide any benefit other than emptying my wallet.

Fortunately, Montagne Jeunesse seems to understand a woman's concern about paying for products that may or may not perform as advertised, so I quickly discovered a display box of one-use sample sized Montagne Jeunesse products, at less than a dollar per sample. I figured, what the heck, I can waste much more than a buck at the local coffee shop, so why not give it a try?

I must admit I'm not a very 'girly' girl in that I don't usually do the pampering routine. I hardly wear makeup, and I'm not much into going to spas and salons and doing the whole beauty routine, but every once in awhile, I do like to try a new product and have a 'girly' pampering night with my daughter and her friends.

That's just what we did with the Montagne Jeunesse sample sized products. My daughter and three of her friends and me decided to sample the Montagne Jeunesse facial masques, so we each picked one from the following choices: Zen Flower Sensitive Masque, Apricot & Almond Oil Hot Masque, Red Hot Earth Sauna Masque, Peach Kernel & Walnut Exfoliating Masque, Cucumber Purifying Peel-Off Masque, Dead Sea Mud Pack, Strawberry Gel Masque, Aromatherapy Masque.

The first thing we noticed about the packaging, other than the bright colors, was the fact that on the top right corner of each package was text indicating what type of skin the product was best used for. For example, the Red Hot Earth Sauna Masque says it's best "for normal, oily and t-zone skin". Also, since I have sensitive skin, I was pleased to see a sensitive skin masque too.
