A Tony Moly é uma marca genial que eu substimei durante séculos porque achava que embalagens fofas não podiam ter produtos sérios no interior. Como eu estava enganada...
Assim, decidi investir no meu primeiro produto coreano, colocando de lado o meu preconceito pela cuteness e o meu gosto inexplicável por frascos de vidro âmbar tipo III (alerta de piada nerd). Eles dizem que é uma "máscara mágica", ao que uma pessoa fica a olhar para isto sem saber muito bem se nos vai deixar maravilhosas ou cobertas de purpurinas. Na verdade, acho que se formos pelo nome, somos menos enganados: Tomatox. O ox é isso mesmo, anti-oxidante.
O que é que tem isto de giro? Primeiro, a água de tomate, cujos licopenos são potentemente anti-oxidantes, tem niacinamida (coraçõoooes, acho que é a minha nova molécula pop star), esqualeno que é um lípido do bem que temos na nossa pele mas, o dos cremes costuma vir da azeitona, arginina, aminoácido, gostava mesmo de saber o que é que o pó de coral está ali a fazer. O de pérola também lá está e é giro poque diz que faz coisas, mas duvido que faça coisas nesta concentração.
Dispensava: o álcool (coreanos, vocês sabem fazer melhor que isso...) e os opacificantes para a máscara ficar branca. Eu cá sou feliz com máscaras transparentes...
Vede, marcas ocidentais, como é possível colocar tretas exóticas como pérola, coral e montes de vegetais dentro de um creme na ordem do vestigial e não cobrar 200€ por ele!
Quanto ao efeito: esta máscara é excelente para peles "apagadinhas". Ou seja, sabem aquele dia em que estiveram a trabalhar 29h? Devolve o viço à pele e deixa-a mais repulpada. Dá para todos os tipos de pele pois é suposto ser aplicada, massajada e lavada com água, por isso nenhuma pele fica "pesada" depois de a usar. Depressa se tornou uma máscara essencial na minha prateleira das máscaras!
Eu comprei esta máscara no site Primor, por 17,95€, mas podem encontrá-la no eBay por menos 10€.
I've been underestimating Tony Moly for as many years as I can remember, as I tend to despise stuff that is just to cute to be real. Boy oh boy was I wrong...
So I just decided to bite the bullet and just buy the cute tomato, setting apart for a few moments my profound passion for nerdy looking cosmetic packaging (y'all chemists know what I mean). So Tony Moly says this is a "magic mask", and then you just stand there looking at the freaking tomato expecting to become a unicorn of be covered with glitter after using it. Actually, if you grab the name, you'll get a more accurate description of the product: Tomatox. OK, so it's meant to be an anti-oxidant.
Why is this so much more fun than glitter? Well, first of all, it has tomato water, which has licopene (anti-ox), niacinamide (probably my new favourite thing, my pop star molecule of the last few months), squalene, which is a cool lipid that we have on our skin but, the one in creams usually comes from olives, it also has arginine which is an aminoacid, but I'd really love to know why the heck it has coral powder. The pearl powder I get, it is proven that it has some anti-ageing effect.
I'd be very happy if they could put the alcohol aside, along with the opacifying agents because, how crucial is it for you to have a white mask? Not much, probably!
See ocidental brands, it is possible to have vestigial exotic crap without charging a small fortune for your cream!
As for effects: this is a brilliant mask for ashy and tired skin, so you know those days you worked 29h? Yeah, this actually helps a bit, leaves your skin dewier and a little bit more plumped. It's great for every skin type, as you remove it after posing time, so you're left with no residue, even for oily skins.
You can find it on many stores and on eBay where it's like less than 10€.
