I LOVE SAND&SKY face mask, I had received a few sample tubes in Birchbox's as well as Glossybox so when I tried a sample I actually bought a full size from ASOS and have used it all up, I still get trial products so I am trying to find a cheaper alternative for it. I did a first impression on a face mask recently and thought 'Oh this reminds me of SAND&SKY' so thought I would battle them out, if you want to see that previous blog post it is called FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Revolution Skincare Pink Clay Detoxifying Face Mask.
PACKAGING (Revolution Skincare):
The cardboard box is thin but sleek and the glass jar is very simple but again sleek.
PACKAGING (SAND&SKY):
I know in the pictures it is of a sample but I am going to do it on the actual full size so the cardboard box it comes in is a bit more sturdy than the Revolution Skincare version plus it had an area for the application brush that it comes with. The tube is sleek too but what I liked about this is you get a brush.

I have dry skin but also large pores on my nose and between the eye brows. NOTE: the headband is my everyday makeup headband so there is foundation on it.
The Revolution Skincare was thinner than the SAND&SKY face mask.
I applied the Revolution Skincare first and yet it takes longer to dry down.
I need to apply more on my nose because it kind of disappeared and that is the area that is the most troubled area with pores and this sounds weird but I have oily and dry skin on my nose and the same goes to the monobrow area (I don't have one). The side with the SAND&SKY is tight however the Revolution Skincare is tight and painful slightly.
Washing the face mask was draining, the Revolution Skincare took longer to remove whereas the SAND&SKY really did melted the face mask off. My skin feels soft but tight like it is dehydrated on the Revolution Skincare side whereas SAND&SKY side felt super soft and didn't need anymore products afterwards.
