The Mask is a comedy made in 1994 and was part of the trifecta (the others being "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" and "Dumb & Dumber") that propelled Jim Carrey from unknown to superstar. It also made a star of another unknown actor, this time being Cameron Diaz.
Jim Carrey plays Stanley Ipkiss, a bank clerk and a really nice guy. But, he is a bit of a pushover and never really stand up for himself. After a particularly bad day, he stumbles upon a mask, that he finds out depicts Loki, the Norse god of mischief. When he puts on the mask, he turns into a green faced, wacky, snappy dresser! He's confident, romantic and not afraid to fight for what he believes in, so you could say he just brought out what Stanley is really like inside himself. So, together with his dog, Milo, they go out and paint Edge City red! Well, green really.

THE AUTHOR
Andy McNab joined the army in 1976 as an infantryman and by 1984 had passed all the selection tests to join the SAS. Whilst in the SAS he took part in operations all over the world, many of which were of a highly secretive and dangerous nature. During his military career he was awarded the DCM (Distinguished Conduct Medal) and MM (Military Medal).
He came to light as an author after he left the Army in 1993. His first book, the bestseller 'Bravo Two Zero' recounted the story of the SAS patrol he was ...
Advantages: Leave skin so smooth, easy to use Disadvantages: Takes ages to remove
Occasionally I like to have a pampering night where I sit in front of the TV, do a face mask, paint my toenails and generally do girlie things. One of my favourite face masks to use is the Mudd range of face masks.
Range
The Mudd range is quite varied and includes masks which exfoliate, a medicated mask, masks for men and the original mud mask - which is my favourite.
Packaging
The original face mask comes in 5 inch x 3 inch sachet which is white and brown. Each sachet contains 15ml of the face mask. On the front of the sachet there is a small picture of a woman with the mask applied to her face and I have to admit that it literally looks like she has covered her face in mud! Next to that picture is a slightly larger picture of the same woman with very healthy looking glowing skin.
On the back of the packaging, there is all ...
