Chocolate !! In a face pack !!! Yey !!!! That was my first reaction when I first heard Chocolates were great for skin . I had used Aroma Magic Chocolate face pack last year and it is my HG face pack(you can read my review in IMBB HERE) I can almost right an essay potraying my love for the face pack (seriously , no kidding). But sadly, after finishing 3 tubs of the mask, all Kolkata outlets decided to go out of stock on it .Duh ! Suddenly this product caught my attention and I went ahead to try it ...

What I Liked about Shahnaz Hussain Chocolate Rejuvenating Mask-
- Thick creamy texture, spreads onto skin evenly
- Smells of rich chocolate (though you can detect some amount of artificial plastic type smell)
- When dried it does not stretch skin uncomfortably
- Provides light moisturisation
- Skin feels clean,soft and supple after using it.
- Pores are tightened.Skin looks toned
- Tube packaging is hygenic and travel friendly
- Did not cause irritation or break outs, though a minute tingling sensation is felt on applying
What I didn't Like about Shahnaz Hussain Chocolate Rejuvenating Mask-
- Does not provide long lasting benefits.Skin looks good on the day applied, but next day its all dull and tired as before!
- That little bit plastic like smell midst of overwhelming chocolate
- Does not provide proper moisturization and you need to follow it up with a nourishing cream(particularly if you have dry skin)
- It's pricey for the amount
- Has parabens
My rating- 3/5
Final Verdict- Its a decent face pack, but don't expect much from it. If you want to try Chocolate face pack which would provide long lasting effect try Aroma Magic ! It had earned me a lot of complements then.
