Today I would like to review my first product from The Face Shop - a free sample I received some time ago.
Product description: Mild butter type that cleanses skin impurities and makeup clearly. Contains natural mango seed to create smooth and radiant skin after cleansing.
Directions for use: Apply a moderate amount and massage all over face. Cleanse with a tissue. Rinse off with cleansing foam.
The full size product is a 200ml jar, I was testing out a 2ml sample.
First of all the Mango Seed Butter has absolutely gorgeous smell of mango :) it reminds me of The Body Shop's mango series, but I would say it smells even better!
Butter, as you can guess from the name of it, has very thick and creamy texture and slightly yellowish color.
On the beginning of application it may be a little bit hard to spread on skin, however after few seconds as it warms up from the body temperature application is smooth and easy. It reminds me a bit products like leave-on face mask, massage gel etc. I decided to test it out slightly different that what the manufacturer recommends and I didn't use the tissue, just rinsed it of with water. It leaves an oily residue on skin, so using the face foam is necessery. If you like two stages cleansing (like with cleansing oil), you may really like this product, I'm always in a rush, so I prefer just using one product to wash my face with. But I must say that the necessary usage of two products rewarded me with an absolutely fabulous skin! So nice, soft and smooth in touch. Actually I was afraid to use the toner afterwards to not spoil that effect! 0o
Price of full size product: approx. £10 on e-Bay
Pros:
+ lovely smell
+ mild cleansing
+ leaves skin very soft and smooth
Cons:
- it has to be used with another cleansing product like foam or gel
Overall I liked this product :) I decided to have a little nuzzle around it and I found the whole Mango Seed series, which is huge! On e-Bay there are two types of auctions: offering Mango Seed Cleansing series (except of butter we can also have: foam, oil to foam, bi-phase eye & lips make-up remover, tissues) or the whole series (creams, lotion, essence, eye cream, lip scrub... lots of products!). I couldn't find any auction that would offer the butter only, but when we go to any of the series auctions, we can choose a single product from drop menu (so there is no need to buy the whole series). This series is recommended to all skin types.
The Mango Seed series also have a sister - Chia Seed, which offers "Moisture Holding" products and Sebum Control Products. If I find any samples I will definetely give it a go! :)
