What is the texture like?

This feels like a cross between a lotion and a mud. It's absorbed by the skin fairly readily but leaves behind a slightly sticky feel.

Is it scented?

This smells like a tropical indulgence - coconut, a slight apple scent, sort of beachy, like sand-like but in a good way. Y'all know that as a mermaid I love it.

My overall experience/comments on the product:

Let me just tell you folks that this is one of my favorite things that I've been able to play with and review. My skin just absolutely loves this stuff - it's hard for me to explain, but the moment I put this on my skin feels renewed, hydrated, glowing... like it just reacts so well to this... it looks and feels amazing and I've been getting loads of compliments on the way my skin looks and I just feel that is texture has improved since I've started using this. That said, I still suffer from accursed redness... :x :( Anywho... I use this daily, reason being I have several other masks that I need to at some point use up and I don't want to have them forever. Ideally, you're supposed to use this 2-3 times a week but it won't irritate the skin because you can actually use it as a primer for your makeup (if you're on the drier side; my favorite method for clients), you can use it as a regular mask and tissue it off, or as (my favorite method on myself) as a sleeping mask. This makes my skin feel incredibly hydrated, has improved the skin's texture, and leaves the skin with a beautiful glow. It pains my wallet to say I'm kind of addicted. Plus the scent... the scent is just lovely.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
