Back in April, I was placing a re-order for my favorite face wash and decided to take advantage of some of the Farmhouse Fresh samplers. You can read all about it here: Farmhouse Fresh: Trying ALL the Samples. Well, when I made my order I received a special promo code for some more items… which snowballed into me ordering both the Fast Fix Sampler and the Quick Recovery Sampler… giving me SIX new masks to try out.
Here are my thoughts on each of the masks, in case you were looking for a new one (or two) to try:
Fast Fix – Face Mask Sampler, $29 (find it here). This set contains three of their “favorite” face masks aimed to tighten, calm and bring radiance back to your skin: Mighty Tighty, Sundae Best, and Pajama Paste.
Mighty Tighty
According to Farmhouse Fresh: Feel tight, smooth and radiant with this antioxidant-rich blend of turmeric, fresh bananas, and New York-grown echinacea extract full of active compounds that nourish skin. Recommended skin type: dull, aging and uneven skin tone. Not recommended for sensitive skin.
My Thoughts: This one was lightly scented, very tingly and super cooling too. It really tightened on my skin as I let it dry. My skin did flush afterwards, but went back to normal within a half-hour or so.
Sundae Best
According to Farmhouse Fresh: a natural, blended active face mask with soothing wholesome ingredients like cocoa, coconut milk and honey in addition to powerhouse enzymes that boost your natural defenses against the look of wrinkles and sagging – including CoQ10, Live Carrot Fruit Cells and Ginseng Extract. This mask leaves your face feeling tight, smooth, and radiant! Great for dry, uneven and aging skin. Not recommended for sensitive or rosacea-prone skin.
My Thoughts: Oh my gosh, this one smells like hot fudge and I totally wanted to eat it. It made my skin tight before I washed it off, but I didn’t feel any tingle or have any flushing.
Pajama Paste
According to Farmhouse Fresh: a natural, fresh-blended pot of active yogurt, cooling bentonite clay, wild honey and oats that instantly refines the look of skin. Utterly scrumptious smell aside, this magic mask deep cleanses so pores look like they go poof! Great for rosacea-prone and aging skin. Not recommended for sensitive skin.
My Thoughts: This one smelled a little bit like cinnamon to me. It goes on like a super thick and luxurious lotion and there is lots of tingle and tightness while it dries.
Quick Recovery – Face Mask Sampler, $29 (find it here). This set contains three of their “mega radiance boosters” for the ultimate face-rejuvenation: Guac Star Soothing Avocado Hydration Mask, Pudding Apeel Tapioca + Rice Active Fruit Glycolic Mask and Splendid Dirt Nutrient Mud Mask.
Guac Star
According to Farmhouse Fresh: This revitalizing mask is packed with fresh avocado butter, extract and oil from California-grown non-GMO creamy avocados to deliver key fatty acids to support the outermost layer of skin that helps protect us from environmental stresses.
My Thoughts: This smells really good and not like guacamole at all. It feels very thick and goes on smooth for a super moisturizing feel.
Pudding Apeel
According to Farmhouse Fresh: Glycolic and fruit extract Alpha Hydroxy Acids combine with hydrating honey and coconut milk to infuse skin with moisture as you renew. Tapioca provides a silky feel to skin. Added green tea and honeysuckle extracts help soothe irritations. The exfoliation process also aids in the control of acne and helps improve the look of sun damaged and aging skin.
My Thoughts: This has a very, very faint smell and a teensy bit of grit when you rub it on. I left it on for 15 minutes before washing it off and my face did feel exfoliated without any irritation.
Splendid Dirt
According to Farmhouse Fresh: a natural, nutrient-rich pot of fresh organic pumpkin puree full of enzymes, Illite and Bentonite clays, and active yogurt cultures that instantly boosts overall radiance by deep cleansing pores, temporarily shrinking their look, and improving the look of uneven skin tones.
My Thoughts: This one smells like possibly cinnamon or maybe pumpkin pie spice? I like it a lot! When it’s on my face it feels cooling with a little tingle. It made my skin super tight before I washed it off.
I actually really enjoyed both of the mask samplers and at 1-ounce each, they actually contain quite a bit of product. According to their website, a full size 4-ounce jar of mask contains 20-25 applications, which means a 1-ounce jar would contain 5-6 applications. I’ve used most of the samples two times so far and it seems like there are at least 4 or more applications left.
If I had to pick a favorite sampler set to recommend, I’d go with the Quick Recovery set. I really liked the Pudding Apeel gentle exfoliation and using that followed by the Guac Star made my face feel very clean, bright and glowy. I also really love the scent of Splendid Dirt and it had just the right amount of cooling and tingle.
These samplers would make a fantastic gift for the skincare lover in your life (or yourself, obviously) and honestly a pretty cute stocking stuffer too. I love how Farmhouse Fresh has so many sample options so that you can try a bunch of their products with less commitment.
