REVIEW: Montagne Jeunesse

At the moment I'm absolutely loving packet face masks. A few days ago I spoke about the Mudd face masks and you can view that post here. And today, I'm going to be rambling on about the much loved Montagne Jeunesse face masks (just don't ask me how to pronounce that word).
I saw these in Home Bargains where you could buy 3 of them for £2 but they're also available in places like Superdrug, Boots and online. The links I've included are from their website as they have the full range available on there whereas other websites don't.
I'll start with my favourite - the Hot Chocolate Self Heating Face Mask - £1.09. This product is an absolute gem. First of all, it smells beautiful - like Terry's Chocolate Oranges and I just love applying it my skin and embracing the scent. It's truly relaxing and just what I need after a long day. I then love the way it heats up by itself when you apply it onto your skin. By doing this, the mask draws out all impurities in the skin and nicely washes them away. I also love the fact that although it's a clay mask it doesn't try like your typical ones do. It stays nice and wet on the skin and therefore doesn't dry your skin out but instead plumps it out and leaves it feeling moisturised and looking soft. I'm yet to use the Chocolate Masque - £1.09 but I'll probably use it soon and as soon as I do, I'll report back. I think it's the same idea as the other two masks with it being clay based so it'll draw impurities out of the skin and also tighten the pores. The White Chocolate Face Mask - £1.09 is really lovely. Unlike the hot chocolate mask this one does dry like typical clay masks so it's great for combination skin. I found that after using this my pores were a lot tighter and my skin looked brighter and more plumped up. It moisturised my skin in a way that wasn't greasy at all and it was easy to wash away.
So like I said originally, I've fallen in love with packet face masks. Whenever I'm in Boots I will always go over to the face masks to see what they have on offer and I also find myself looking in places like the Pound Shop or Home Bargains as they do a great range. What do you think of packet face masks?
