Chanel Hydra Beauty Masque De Nuit Au Camélia

Where I got it

To be honest, I think I’m a little out of control and addicted to trying out Chanel skincare at the moment. I am starting with something more affordable like the Hydra Beauty range and their masks and creams, but have yet to try out their cleansers which should actually be the cheapest from the range. I think I can always find good affordable cleansers and that they only stay on my skin for a minute or two, so I don’t want to spend that amount of money on a cleanser.

Anyway, about 2 weeks ago, I bought the Camelia Repair mask because I used a sample and loved it. I was also given a small sample of this overnight mask and loved it as well. So I went into my local Chanel counter at Farmers to make the purchase. The mask is $135 which is the same price as the Repair Mask.

What I got

This is the Chanel Hydra Beauty Masque De Nuit Au Camélia (100ml). During the night, tiny dewdrops form on the petals of the camellia, helping it to breathe better and to fully reveal its unprecedented radiance. Inspired by the dew natural process, CHANEL Research creates HYDRA BEAUTY Masque de Nuit au Camélia. A creamy overnight mask that, after transforming into dew-like droplets, helps skin to oxygenate during the night. Upon waking, signs of fatigue appear diminished and the complexion looks rested with a fresh radiant glow.

How I find it

According to instructions, this can be used on the face and lips. Designed to be used as the last part of a nighttime skincare routine, you apply the mask with the petal-shaped applicator that it comes with. The applicator is soft and flexible. Once applied, leave it on the skin for 2-3 minutes and then massage. When the mask is massaged, it releases water droplets on the skin and gets absorbed into the skin. The key to getting that water droplet release on the skin when massaged only works when you apply it with the applicator as the water droplets will start forming when you apply the mask on your face with your fingers.

The texture of the mask feels like a sorbet-gel, it is really lightweight and smells really fresh and light. It has that signature Hydra Beauty scent and I really do enjoy it on my skin. My skin drinks the mask up and it does leave a comfortable layer on the skin. It’s not sticky greasy, but it just feels like a layer of moisturiser on the skin. I jump into bed and go to sleep. When I wake up, my skin feels really plump and hydrated without feeling or looking greasy. When I wash my face, my skin feels really smooth and hydrated, but I do recommend washing it off either with just water or with a cleanser.

Overall

Such a treat to use this mask and you don’t need to use a lot. It is ultra hydrating and the effects are really long-lasting. This big tube will last me quite a long time and overnight, my skin looks and feels really plump and hydrated. My skin doesn’t feel tight from dehydration and my skin feels normal without excessive oil production from dehydration. This mask is really godo on nights when I turn my heat pump or heater on overnight (ekk!). I almost want to use it during the day as well!
