Joy 24 Carat Gold Glow Facial Kit Review








The facial kit comes housed in a gold coloured cardboard box packaging . The contents of the kit are small tubes each of 13gm: A Scrub Cleanser, Glow Cream, Massage Gel & Face Pack. The best part of the packaging is the contents are provided in small travel size tubes which are very hygienic to store for future use unlike the sachets.
Scrub Cleanser: The tiny exfoliating beads get rid of all the accumulated dead cells & give a smooth & polished skin. It also removes black heads to some extent though not completely. The beads are not harsh on skin & can be used by sensitive skin.
Glow Cream: A 5-10 mins massage with this cream hydrated the skin & makes it glow because of the gold sparkles which I could see all scattered in my palms. The gold sparkles are not very apparent & can be seen slightly under the lights. The cream relaxes the tired skin & adds a boost of hydration & glow to it.
Massage Gel: I have used this only once, it just scares me with the amount of golden glitters it is loaded with. Again a few minutes of massage with this & you can see a real golden glow in your skin. But I find it too garish for my preferences hence usually skip this. It doesn’t make your face loaded with glitter or makes you a disco ball but gives a nice natural golden glow to the skin. For me the overall sight of the glitter loaded gel doesn’t appeal much.
Face Pack: This finishes off the facial process by locking in the moisture. It detoxifies skin, reduces tanning & makes skin glowing.


A single pack is sufficient for 2 facial sessions easily. So as compared to parlour rates this pack is far more economical. The kit does make my skin glow making it look very fresh & hydrated but the result hardly last for a day or two. I really cannot compare the result with professional parlour treatments which are far better. If you look closely at the ingredients list of all the contents, you will find gold sparkles in each of them which gets infused into the skin during the facial massage & gives a nice golden glow without going over the top. None of the products gave any kind of reaction on my skin or break me out. I find this pack really good for the price tag it carries.
This is a good travel handy facial kit.





  • Economical.
  • Makes skin soft, supple & glowy.
  • Enough moisturizing & hydrating on skin.
  • No irritation or side effects seen on skin.
  • The travel size tubes packaging makes it convenient to carry the whole kit on go.



  • Results don’t last for long.
  • Though it claims to be herbal, the products contain parabens & alcohol.



I would prefer this as an emergency facial kit when one has not enough time to go for a parlour treatment. Travel size packs are easy to carry around & you get all the benefits of a scrub, massage &face pack in a compact pack. It gives a nice healthy glowing skin & also helps to lighten tan.

Joy 24 Carat Gold Golden Glow Peel-Off Mask Review


Joy 24 Carat Gold Golden Glow Peel-Off Mask Review




This peel – off mask is a part of Joy’s 24 Carat Gold collection for skin care. This is very much same asEveryuth Golden Glow peel off home facial which when I used for the first time pained a lot coz of the facial hairs but now I am kind of used to these peel off masks. Though claims to be free of alcohol, if you look at the ingredients list it do contain traces of alcohol in the product along with some amount of Parabens. The mask instantly tightens & brightens the skin & at the same time infuses so called gold particles into the skin which makes it look really bright & glowing. This is a magic product for emergencies. I am enjoying every bit of this.
The effect doesn’t stay for long though. Maybe a day or so. But it’s a good to grab product for instant bright, clean & glowing skin.




  • Cleans & brightens skin instantly.
  • Easy to use.
  • Economical



  • Contains Alcohol & Parabens.
  • Effect doesn’t stay for long.



Joy 24 Carat Gold Golden Peel Off mask is an instant solution for bright, clean & glowing face. A good to grab product for emergencies.

PS: Product sent by brand for consideration. This however has not affected my review.

Joy 24 Carat Gold Makeup Foundation Review


Joy 24 Carat Gold Makeup Foundation Review

 



The foundation comes in a Maroon coloured tube with gold coloured flip flop cap. Though the packaging looks sturdy & good enough but the so runny consistency of the foundation makes the whole application messy. The moment cap is opened foundation starts flowing out. In this case I would have preferred a glass bottle pump packaging for sure.
I couldn’t find any details about the product on their website so not sure of availability of shades, if one or more than that. The one which I am having with me is 2 tones lighter than my skin tone & does give a white ghastly cast on my face. I mix this with my tinted moisturizer to get the shade close to my skin tone. This doesn’t give me a complete matte finish being oil free but slight dewey look. But my skin cannot afford to skip moisturizer while using as it gets drier progressing the day, so always use this along with my tinted moisturizer. The foundation stays good for 7-9 hours on my skin after which I remove this easily with my regular makeup remover or olive oil.
Coverage is medium & skin with heavy pigmentation & blemishes will not get any benefit from this. On dry skin if used alone without a moisturizer will accentuate the dryness & will make it look patchy. This would be good for beginners with good even skin tone for  flawless coverage & dry skin suggested to use along with a good moisturizer.





  • Provides good low-medium coverage.
  • Light textured & doesn’t make skin feel heavy.
  • Contains SPF15
  • Gives semi dewey look rather than completely matte.
  • Good staying power.



  • Runny in consistency making packaging & application messy.
  • Not enough moisturizing for my dry skin.
  • No information available regarding shades.
  • This shade won’t suit medium- duskier females.
  • Doesn’t give full coverage. Not recommended for heavily pigmented skin.



Joy 24 Carat Gold Makeup Foundation gives low-medium coverage with semi dewey finish. The consistency is very runny making packaging & application messy. Not sure of shades availability. Not enough moisturization for dry skin & accentuates the dry patches. If used with a moisturizer stays good without any concerns. I think this is apt for oily skin beauties.

You can find other foundation range from Joy HERE.
