The Art of Masking with Boscia

I have recently been enjoying the products of Boscia; I went to Sephora to purchased a mask but was introduced to "The Art of Multi-Masking Kit" value box ($42) which included all four of the Boscia mask and an application brush. This kit also included instruction on how to multi-mask; for example, if you had dryness on you forehead and cheeks and oily on your nose and chin, than you would place the blue mask on the dry areas and the green mask on the oily areas. I basically tried out all four of the masks separately on my full face.

*from top to bottom:Green Tea Oil-Control Mask, Luminizing Black Mask, Bright White Mask, Cool Blue Calming Mask


In the kit there are four of the Boscia mask (0.7 oz.). Each mask focuses on a specific problem of the skin. *from left to right:
Blue-cool, calm, and hydrates the skin.
White-dimish hyper pigmentation, and evens skin tone.
Black-boost clarity and minimize pores
Green-eliminates shine and minimize sebum production.


The Boscia bright white mask was my favorite, in regards to what it did for my skin. The smell was awful; it smelled like glue and the texture reminded me of paint, and the product was very sticky. Overall, I liked it, it peeled off my face nicely and evened out my skin tone.



The Boscia luminizing black mask: this product has a chemical smell, it was so tight on my face, and it was very difficult for me to peel off. Overall, it did leave my skin soft and it minimized my pores.

The Boscia cool blue calming mask: this product had a nice citrus smell, it was very cooling and refreshing on the skin, but it was difficult for me to get a thick opaque layer on the skin. The directions state to apply a "thick opaque layer" to ensure that the mask can easily peel off. After the 30 minutes, I had to remove the product with a wet face cloth. Overall, the blue mask was a nice hydrating mask. 

The Boscia green tea oil-control mask was not a product for me, but that doesn't mean it doesn't work. The mask has a nice citrus smell, felt very nice on my skin, but it dried my skin out. I have normal skin and should've never used this product. The green mask will work great for those with oily skin and excess shine.

Having a brush in the kit was very useful. I would suggest if anyone decides to buy this product, to defiantly go out and get yourself a cheap foundation brush. It makes applying the products so much easier, especially with the white mask (sticky product).  

Please check out my video on "the art of masking with Boscia". In the video I demo each mask (except the green one) and give my feedback. 
Thanks for reading my blog!
