Glam Glow - tried and tested

So I bought Glam Glow which is all the rage in Hollywood right now.  It's pretty expensive at 70 from sephora for 1.2oz.  

Luckily I was able to get mine for 1/2 off by waiting a few months and looking for online deals :) 

I washed my face thoroughly and applied the mask as indicated.  It seems to have a charcoal base similar to that of the Origins purifying mask.  Glam Glow also has little black bits of something in it - not sure what they were.  

The mask went on smoothly and a little goes a long way.  It immediately started drying and tightening...at the end of the 20 minutes the mask had obviously absorbed a lot of oil in the t-zone.  I wasn't brave enough to capture those results, maybe next time :) 

My skin felt soft, smooth, and the pores looked a little smaller.  Is Glam Glow with all the hype???  Maybe.  I'd buy it again at the cheaper price but I think origins might work just as well.
