There’s nothing like a girls’ night out with your besties to relax and have lots of fun. Every time my friends and I get together, we try something new, from food, wine, and movies to beauty and skin care products. We could say that when trying new skin care trends, it’s more of a girls’ night in, but you get the idea.

On our last get together, we were super excited because we were going to try some very amazing skin care products made with gemstones. We were also looking forward to trying this new beauty trend: Multi-Masking.

You can imagine how eager we were for that night to arrive! It was going to be all about some luxurious skin pampering, champagne, and girl talk!

Luxury skin care reaches a new level: Gemstones

The face masks we’re going to try are the Morganite Magnetic Mask and the Black Onyx Mask from Lionesse. As you can see, the name of the products alludes to the amazing ingredients they’re made of, morganite and black onyx.

But, why gemstones?

Well, I learned that crystals and gemstones, such as diamonds, sapphires, amethysts, etc., possess healing and rejuvenating properties. These wonderful properties are due to quite an astonishing quality gemstone have: They naturally vibrate at a higher frequency. This vibration promotes cellular restoration, encouraging a more youthful and healthier appearance.

The Morganite Magnetic Mask

Have you tried a magnetic mask? Well, I certainly hadn’t, so I was very much excited to try Lionesse’s Morganite Magnetic Mask.

Morganite is a gemstone that belongs to the emerald and aquamarine family and possess a beautiful and subtle pink color. Considered the “crystal of divine love”, morganite is thought to represent the beautiful rays of sunrise, kindness, and compassion, too. Some say that morganite helps people to appreciate life and promotes joie de vivre.

The Morganite Magnetic Mask is indeed magnetized with iron powder! This mask will magnetize your beauty back, by drawing impurities out of your skin and delivering beautifying and rejuvenating botanicals.

Why get just one, when you can have more?

Have you heard that your face is like a clean canvas, ready for you to create your masterpiece? Well, I know that this saying refers more to makeup than to skin care, but now it can be used to talk about multi-masking.

And you might be asking yourself, what is multi-masking?

Multi-masking is the art of incorporating more than just one mask at the same time.

Let’s just admit it, very few of us have only one type of skin. It’s closer to the truth to say that usually we tend to have an oily T-zone, more prone to blockage, while our cheeks need more hydration. So, why using a mask that while doing an incredible job in your nose and forehead, it will suck the life out of your cheeks?

That’s when multi-masking comes in.

Applying multiple face masks is not only practical and convenient, it also allows you to address each of your different skin concerns at the same time.

How to multi-mask

When you multi-mask, you’re customizing your skin care routine. For example, if you’re continually getting breakouts around your chin, you apply the specific product that will help control those breakouts. And if the contrary is happening in your cheeks, I mean that you tend to suffer of dryness, then a moisturizing mask will do the trick.

You can use all the masks you want depending on your specific needs. Isn’t that amazing! A clay mask to acquire a mattifying look in your forehead, a charcoal mask to get rid of debris and blackheads in your nose, and eye sheet masks to diminish puffiness and dark circles. The possibilities are endless!

So, basically, multi-masking is layering masks to achieve the best skin care results.

A beautiful experience

There were three of us who wanted to try these masks. So, Nikky applied the Morganite Magnetic Mask onto her whole face, Anna went with the Black Onyx Mask, and I tried the Black Onyx Mask on my nose and chin, and the Morganite Magnetic Mask on my forehead and cheeks.

As soon as I started applying the Black Onyx Mask, I felt it warming up. That tells me that it starts to work right away. I can already feel the dirt melting away. The consistency of this mask reminded me of pancake batter, because of its smooth and creamy viscosity. At the same time, the texture made the mask a little tricky to apply. If you put on a little too much, it starts dripping.

The Morganite Magnetic Mask is very easy to apply. It spreads beautifully and stays on your face. I must say that the texture of this one is amazing! It’s soft and it sparkles!

We waited the require time, and in the meantime, we talked about our feelings while we drink a delicious sparkling champagne.

After 15 minutes, I started to wipe off the Black Onyx Mask from my nose and chin. I really felt that they were clearer, and the skin felt really soft.

I was really excited to wipe the Morganite Magnetic Mask off, because you need to hover a magnet close to your skin to remove it. How does that even work!? But, the great thing is that it does!

I put the magnet into one of the small sachets and started passing it without touching my skin. I could feel the magnet lifting up the mask, and all the dirt and debris with it! It really felt amazing!

After removing the mask, I massaged the remaining oils onto my face and neck. My skin acquired a beautiful glow and an astonishing soft feel.

We were very pleased with these incredible masks! Nikky’s skin glowed like I have never seen before, and Anna’s skin achieved a beautiful, even tone, and a wonderful softness.

I can say that it was one of the best girls’ night in ever!

Beautiful skin without harming bunnies

Another great thing about Lionesse’s products is that they are cruelty free! I’m always in search of quality skin care products that take into consideration the rights and wellness of animals and nature in general.
