Hedonista Face Soufflé Review

First thing that comes to my mind when I hear Soufflé is the yummy French delicacy, which (unfortunately) this is not. But was what attracted me to this product. I had received Hedonista Face Soufflé in June 2015 My Envy box and I’m perpetually grateful for them to introducing me to this beauty.

I love the way hedonista has name this face pack as soufflé as the word soufflé is the past participle of the French verb souffler which means "to breathe" or "to puff”, which makes sense as it causes my face to breath.

Texture and smell:

Hedonista describes it as decadent and there is no other correctly word for it. It smells & Looks like chocolate and I had to do everything in my power not to eat it. It is extremely soft and fluffy like well beaten cake batter or chocolate mousse. Although it’s thick, it spreads easily and applies in thin layer.

My Experience:

My normal skin care ritual is to first exfoliate and then apply face mask while the face is still wet. I felt slight tingling sensation when I first applied it. It dries pretty quickly say 7-10 mins and comes out pretty easily with wet cloth or lukewarm water (Preferable).

During my first application I was little apprehensive of oily residue as it feels oily & sticky wile application but thankfully I had no such trouble with it. It leaves my skin feeling very soft and squeaky clean and impart natural glow.

It is hydrating mask which can be used as emergency fix for dry patches on face. It is a deep cleansing face mask which doesn’t sting or irritate the skin or cause breakouts. Being acne prone person it was one of fear but thankfully it did not break me out.

It will suit all skin type and works well irrespective of the season.

I love absolutely everything about Hedonista face Soufflé. EVERYTHING!!!
