Cake My Day Hydrating Sprinkle Wash-Off Face Mask - (3.52oz)

I know it's tempting to emulate putting the amount you're shown on your face, but that is a mistake. Don't do it!!!! First of all, you'll go through the product super-fast, second, it will be a total PITA to wash off, no lie. Like a teaspoon with a tiny bit of water will do you-- it'll still work, will extend the life of your product, and cut your mess. I was iffy on buying this in the first place. The whole brand does seem to capitalize on cuteness-- nothing wrong with that, as long as the products are quality-- and I wasn't sure if it'd have substance. I'm actually pretty pleased with it, though. First off, the dyes are marine-based, good for those of you who love sprinkles but are allergic to dyes. The sprinkles are *not* exfoliating. There's one color blue sprinkle that tends to stay gritty, but there's not nearly enough of it to actually be helpful and exfoliating, so just forget that. What this mask is good for us oil control and deep moisture. The kaolin clay feels really nice, soaks up some oil without drying out my skin, and does give it a brighter sort of look. The moisture it delivers is nice, though. It's not that it's especially intense, but it does seem to deliver the equivalent of a perfume base note, where, when all the superficial stuff has gone, you still have a noticeable level of moisture. I didn't notice this immediately after use, but more as a trend the day after using the mask. Another tip, don't let this dry on your face. Kaolin is definitely a nicer, gentler clay, but you gotta take it easy. The instructions do say take it off in five minutes and that the mask won't dry. I'd argue that if you use less, you will notice it somewhat drying out, but if you start to feel it as tightness on your face, it's time to wash it off. I haven't noticed any ill effects from cutting down the amount I used, either-- I tried thicker layers and thinner layers, and the main diff was in how hard they were to remove, and that the thinner application would start to dry if I lost track of time. The price is a bit much if you use a lot of it at once-- I don't think I'd buy it again in that case, but because I can stretch it out, and because it delivers that deeper moisture, I think I'll buy it again. I also use Skin Food's strawberry black sugar mask for exfoliation. I noticed a lot of people saying that the mask has a really strong, amazing smell. I can't say I agree. It does smell good, but it doesn't smell half as powerful as reviews made me expect. It also smells nice-- like vanilla cake-- but not enough to give me cravings. The sprinkles do bring me joy, but I can't see finding this smell overpowering. My nose is fine, so maybe there are some batches that are stronger, or maybe those people are smelling something I'm not due to some genetic difference. Hey, it's possible. Anyway, I expect I'll buy this again when it starts to run low, or maybe try a similar product out of kaolin. Overall, if you don't mind spending the money, and you want a really cute clay mask, this is a fun one.

Looks great smells great makes my face soft. I don’t know why everyone is complaining and saying they’re small when they’re literally the same size as a Medicube collagen, jelly cream and they come full I will say with it being on your face for 10 to 15 minutes. The smell does become a little annoying. I would give it six stars, but it does not taste like cake frosting. So you’ll have to only get five stars.

Single biggest gamechanger in my skincare routine. Delivers a lot of hydration and has never caused a breakout. For a couple weeks, I used it nearly every night since my skin was that parched, but it's now improved and I just use it 2-3 times a week. Always a treat to put on; the frosting look is fun and I personally like the cakey smell. Basically retains its consistency and washes off easily. Great value for the price. I've also seen good results from their yoga kitten clay mask. Consider me hooked.

Product is very good and provides excellent moisture for the skin.

First let me say, I have EXTREMELY sensitive skin. Like the kind of skin that if I roll my eyes too hard, it flares up. Fun stuff at 34. Im currently going through some skin changes as I've gotten older. My skin is SUPER oily (oil breaks through my all matte formula makeup and powders in under an hour kind of oily). As I've gotten older, its starting to dry out on the outer edges of my face and is flaking something horrible. Im testing all kind of things to see if it works well with my sensitive skin and calms down the flaking. This product helped a lot after just one use. ***A word of experience: DON'T PUT AS MUCH PRODUCT ON AS THE PICTURE SHOWS! Use a sparing amount because you will be standing at the sink wondering why it is so hard to get this mask off. It will just slide around when you add water. Its MUCH easier to get off the skin when you use a smaller amount. Also, I was a total goober and didn't rub the mask in the first time so I had the little sprinkles all over my face. Your supposed to rub them in so that they burst and mix into the mask. Learn from my mistakes... So needless to say, the second and third application of this mask was much better! No weird film left on your skin, wasn't hard to wash off, didn't irritate my sensitive skin and did help with my need of facial hydration. The only thing that I took notice of was that I thought the scent was going to be stronger. I can smell a faint cake batter smell but it isn't strong at all. For my personal taste, I wish it was a little stronger but I know that not everyone likes that so this is a good trade off. I am going to try some of their other masks but I do see myself buying and using this one again in the future.
