Montagne Jeunesse products review: part 1

About a month ago I received a swap package of Montagne Jeunesse products. Montagne Jeunesse is a brand that takes me back to that wonderful era of being a kid and having girly sleepovers, but I haven't used anything by them since then. I chose five at random to start with and here's what I thought:-



Always on the hunt for a quick face mask, I liked the Gel Cream Masque in Strawberries and Cream which is a thick creamy mask with little scrubby bits. Very gentle on the skin, smells lovely and leaves skin feeling nice and smooth.

Next, I tried the Spa Facial Mask (with aloe vera, ginseng and plant extracts). A fruity scented exfoliator which does a great job of removing dull dead skin and making it look fresh and clean again. I saw a noticeable difference in my skin afterwards, pores looked smaller and my face looked brighter.

Two products that I was sceptical about were from the Renew You range. I tried the Restoration Gel Face and Neck Masque which has a thick cream consistency to start with and then dries to a thin jelly/gel. I was put off my its heavy perfumed scent but it did leave my skin smooth and soft afterwards. I then used the Anti-Cellulite Body Masque Gel, a clear orange tinged gel with lots of microbeads for exfoliation. Once on, it has an instant cooling effect which borders on tingling but I didn't notice anything else once it was rinsed off.

Lastly, I tried the Deodorising Foot Scrub which smells AWFUL (very medicinal, not my thing at all) but did a good job making my feet smooth and fresh.

Not a bad batch to start off with, I'll post part 2 when I've tried them.
