I've basically used every type of GlamGlow mud there is. And to be honest, I can't tell the difference between the Youthmud, Thirstymud or Supermud, but I know my skin feels soft and insanely clean after I use all three. The eye masque didn't do much for me, but it sure looked cool.
So here's my issue. This stuff basically finishes itself off before you can use it. This hard piece came out of the tube. Every time I've used the Youthmud and Supermud, I've had the same issue. It has happened in every sample tube and jar that I've ever purchased.
If you take a look inside, you can see some of the hard parts. I've never purchased an entire $69 jar of GlamGlow, but I'm kind of scared to do it because of all the hard chunks. How quickly do I have to use it before this happens? I looked at reviews and many people used water to break down the hard pieces, and then applied it like normal. But do I really need to do all that for a pricey face masque?
Here's a typical GlamGlow look. The masques dry in about five minutes flat. Here are the billions of chunks and gross pores. Overall, I'm torn. But knowing me, I'll just repurchase a sample set again, try to figure out the differences again, and complain (to myself) again.
My Newest Skin Score: Glamglow Holiday Set /
After scoping out dozens of makeup and beauty sales for the Black Friday-Cyber Monday week, I only ended up getting this dream team of masques from GlamGlow. Naturally, I didn't get this set on sale either. GlamGlow had exactly seven holiday sets to choose from. It still makes me a little weak to consider paying $70 for a full sized mask, and since I didn't know which masque worked best for my skin, I settled on this set. I haven't really tried any of the new items yet, but when I do, I'll be sure to share!
Like most beauty sites now days, I was able to choose two freebies, which are the packets you see at the bottom of the picture. Since I signed up for an account, I also received a promo code for another mini.
Earlier this year, I purchased a 2013 GlamGlow set, half of it was hard and defective, but at least I got to play around with the Supermud. It's one of the best masques I've ever used. My skin feels cleaner and smoother, and doesn't feel dried out. This is basically just a comparison shot, so you can see the size I bought this year.
