I am very excited to be a part of this blog. How perfect, I thought, for my first entry to be about a product that my dear friend Susan introduced to me more than a decade ago. I'm talking about Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque. Queen Helene is one of those brands that doesn't try to get you with the flashy container. Its also one of those brands that you wonder where the frick they came from because it isn't owned by Proctor and Gamble. Trust me, you don't want to know how much stuff that company makes thats not only in your bathroom-but everywhere else too. If you're interested.
Anywayz, if you have any consistent form of acne, or great skin, this mask is nice. It has sulfur, which helps dry up pimples and make pores look smaller. It also smells great, looks great on your face for some reason, but watch out-it can sting a little, especially if your face is dry.
What's funny about this product too, is that its all-natural. You'll see it in Whole Foods (with a jacked up price) but you can usually find it at any drugstore. Outside of drugstores, its less expensive. You used to be able to get it wherever they sell skin care products, but lately it can be a little harder to find. Some of the Queen's other products can be hit or miss. But this one has been in my bathroom for years.
p.s. And of course you get 33% more, free!!! (Come on, they're not fooling anyone with this. Its been on the tube for ten years.)

we're happy to have you!
and srsly - this mask really does shrink your pores! it's like magic.
yeah. it's so refreshing! and the texture is so much smoother and nicer than similar masks on the market.
the texture reminds me of when you watch old movies and see girls doing makeovers and then their boyfriend/crush object walks in and they get all embarrassed. and then the guy can make a joke about the girls appearance. or have i just seen to many elvis movies? point being - it's like an old-timey mask from the movies.
Welcome to the blog, Katie! We're happy to have some fresh input here! You know, I've never tried this mask, but it seems like a worthwhile investment (p.s. why do so many beauty products give you 33% more, why not do something crazy like 78% more. THAT would be a deal).
Also, on the P&G site, I like how they label their PUMA perfumes as "Prestige Fragrances."
