00:05Hey, it's me Empress.
00:07Hey guys, I'm Rae.
00:08And welcome to Test Lab, where we try out the internet's craziest trends so you don't have to.
00:14Unless we think you should.
00:15Today we are trying out my Juicy Cup face mask.
00:19I'm not much of a mask girl to begin with.
00:21I'm always kind of hesitant, but they're a huge trend right now.
00:24I feel like all the ones in the past, you kind of just slap them on your face and they're
00:27supposed to do something.
00:28And this one we're supposed to mix with water and make into a paste ourselves.
00:32I love face masks, but in particular I love Korean beauty products.
00:36Their masks always leave your skin silky and bright.
00:40This one smells like strawberry and this smells like banana, my two favorites.
00:45So we'll walk around smelling like smoothies.
00:46Are you ready?
00:47Super ready.
00:47On the count of three.
00:49One, two, three.
00:50So I'm going to read off the instructions here, which hopefully should be decently easy.
00:54Pour water up to the marked line on the lower part of the container and mix it with a spoon.
01:00After it's mixed, apply thickly around the edge of the face and we're going to wait 15 to 20 minutes
01:04before wiping it off.
01:05I'm going to be a banana.
01:06A banana mango very specifically.
01:08Ooh, I'll be a strawberry cherry.
01:10This could be yogurt packaging.
01:12Exactly.
01:12Don't put these in your fridge.
01:14Your kids might get confused.
01:15Okay, that smells kind of great.
01:17It smells like one of those icy pops.
01:18In case you did not have a spoon on hand, it does come with its own little spatula.
01:22This is for us to slather it on our face.
01:24It feels really soft.
01:26It's oddly satisfying.
01:28So the water line is right here on the side, guys.
01:31Ooh, gross.
01:32What's so gross?
01:33Show me.
01:34It's like oatmeal-y.
01:35It's clumping.
01:36Oh yeah.
01:36It's like, what's the word?
01:37I hate this word.
01:38Coagulating.
01:40In my mind, I thought it was going to be drippy and juicy.
01:42It's more of a paste, which I guess is kind of what you're looking for in a mask.
01:46It actually is a lot in here.
01:48Like I feel like you can do more than one mask.
01:51So this is what it's looking like.
01:53It's very thick.
01:54I feel like mine is just not the same consistency.
01:58Not at all.
01:59So, are you ready to apply this?
02:01I'm ready to do this.
02:02I love becoming a dessert.
02:04Oh, so cold.
02:05Oh wow.
02:06It's so cold.
02:07It's kind of pleasing.
02:08It's really nice.
02:09It's cooling.
02:10I recommend you stick with room temperature water when you're mixing this.
02:14It's definitely living up to its juicy name.
02:16It does feel like I'm at a spa.
02:18Let me close my eyes.
02:19I want some like slow R&B music while I do this.
02:22It's getting in my mouth.
02:23Oh, God.
02:23Key here is to clearly be wary of some excess drippage.
02:27It is as juicy as it implies.
02:29Wait, on this side it's...
02:32Look at my eyes!
02:34Look at my eyes!
02:35Okay, hang on.
02:36Just don't open that eye.
02:37Okay.
02:37Maybe do go in with your hands again.
02:40You really want to blend it in there.
02:42Otherwise, it'll just start to drip.
02:44I think we put too much one.
02:45I want to say we put too much water in it, but we did feel it exactly up to the
02:49line.
02:50Should I put my water in the water?
02:53A little bit of water.
02:55Okay, so it looks like we've got it on our faces as well as we can.
02:59And on our phalanges.
03:01And on our hands.
03:01So now we wait.
03:11You said that your skin usually doesn't do well with masks.
03:15How do you feel so far?
03:16I feel like I'm used to masks burning a little bit or just feeling a little bit of tension
03:20and tightness in my face.
03:22Yeah.
03:22I'm actually not feeling that as much as this consistency is making me laugh hysterically.
03:26It does have really good cooling properties.
03:29I feel like it's kind of hardening just a little bit on my skin.
03:32It feels like it's like settling in there.
03:34I feel like now we're real smoothies.
03:35So I think you're supposed to be able to peel this.
03:38Ooh.
03:39Ooh.
03:40Look at you with this extra layer.
03:41The cheese is coming off my face.
03:45That was really satisfying.
03:48It's definitely peachy.
03:49I feel like the more product you use, the more you'll be able to get like a succinct peel
03:53off your face.
03:54I know it looks weird, guys, but it feels lovely.
03:57I wish I would have put more on my face.
03:59But my skin feels cool, calm, and moisturized.
04:03I'm not sure I'm seeing a huge, huge difference.
04:06I'm definitely going to go ahead and use a damp paper towel to get the rest of this off.
04:11Way ahead of you, girl.
04:12I don't know if we're seeing the most dramatic change, but we're feeling a little cooler,
04:15a little smoother.
04:17We're not exactly shining yet.
04:18But we'll let you know our final thoughts when we wrap up on the end of the day.
04:21Hopefully something will have changed miraculously with our skin.
04:24I hope so.
04:25It's so hard to take off.
04:27Yeah.
04:27So we'll end up seeing you there.
04:28So it's the end of the day and I'm about to wash off my face before heading to bed.
04:33Gotta say, I don't feel all that different.
04:36Let me tell you something, that mask, man, I had that stuff inside of my hair and my eyebrows
04:41for the rest of the day, the rest of the night.
04:43Like I had people coming up to me pulling things off from that mask.
04:47So maybe you need to use it longer.
04:49Maybe you need to use it for a couple days a week.
04:50But for a one off, really not seeing that much of a difference with my skin.
04:54The hassle of just like putting it on was way too much for me.
04:57So I wouldn't recommend doing it.
04:59The fact that it's only seven bucks is kind of nice, but you can find such better masks out there
05:03that'll actually do something for your face.
05:05But I hope you guys enjoyed and I hope you guys do better.
05:08Catch you next time.
