Last week I stopped by my local Claire's store while browsing through the mall. I saw that they were having the famous 10 clearance items for $10. While I was seriously disappointed with the selection they had for this particular sale, I did pick up a couple of items to review.
These are Spoiled Rotten face products, sold exclusively at Claire's. Judging by the fact that they are exclusive to Claire's, and the look of the packaging, I'm venturing to say that the primary demographic is teen to young adult females. I picked up Clean up your act oil-free face wash, Mud in your face exfoliating mud mask, and Play it cool cooling cucumber peel-off mask. (They don't have play it cool on their website, so there isn't a link for that one, sorry.)
First I used the face wash. I was very happy with it. It has a clean, fresh scent to it. It did leave my face clean, soft and not feeling oily. The face wash is normally $10 for a 5 oz. bottle, but was marked down to $5, and was only a dollar with the sale they were running. This particular face wash wasn't my favorite, because it did leave my face a little dry, but for the price I would probably buy it again.

Next I tried the mud mask. I was extremely disappointed in this. I am normally a huge fan when it comes to face masks, and this one let me down. The mask itself is a little hard to get out of the bottle. When I first put it on, it smelled amazing (one of the few things I liked about it). There was a little bit of a tingle when I put it on, but I figured since it has tea tree oil in it, it was supposed to feel a little tingly. The tingling soon turned into a burning sensation. Like an overwhelming "cooling" sensation. The package says to leave it on for 15 minutes, but after 10 minutes, I couldn't take it any longer and had to wash it off. Even after it had been washed off, it left my skin feeling very sensitive, and still tingling/burning. This really surprised me, because normally I don't have very sensitive skin. I tried this a second time to make sure it wasn't just a fluke or maybe just shock from the first time using it. The second time was a little more bearable. The burning wasn't as bad, but maybe because I knew what to expect. It still left my face feeling very sensitive. After checking the reviews on Claire's website, I see that I'm not the only one that had a problem with it burning. This mud mask normally sells for $10 for a 4 oz bottle. This was also marked down to $5 and only a dollar with the sale. Even with the low price, I would not buy this again.

Finally, I used the cooling cucumber mask. I was a big fan of this. It has a very strong cucumber scent, which was a little too strong for me, but at least it was a good smell. The mask is very sticky when you first put it on, but it dries nicely. It does have a bit of a tingle, but nothing like the mud mask did. The tingle was not nearly as intense, but rather a soothing/cooling tingle. It was fun it peel off afterward and it left my skin feeling super soft and still smelling like cucumbers. The cucumber mask is also originally priced $10 for a 2 oz bottle, but as the others, it was marked down to $5 and on sale for a dollar. I knew I would like this, so I actually picked up two of them during the sale, and for the price, I would definitely pick up more of these.
