"  As a beauty-obsessed teenager, I always thought that masks -- oh, and especially masques --were not only the epitome of pampering, but also some sort of gateway to being a grown-up. Shiny hair, glowing skin, detoxed pores? I wanted them all! Twenty years later (and nearly a full-fledged adult), I still love the pampering ritual, so I tried out six of the latest entries in the mask market. The mask: PureOlogy NanoWorks Restorative Hair Treatment,$45 What&amp;#039;s in it? Hair-strengthening vegetable proteins and a patented AntiFade Complex to protect color. Was it fabulous? After a five-minute application, my hair was bouncing and behaving. And my red curls did look more vibrant: Two people asked me if I&amp;#039;d just gotten my color done! The mask: Too Faced Lip Injection Mask, $27.50 What&amp;#039;s in it? Vitamins A and E, aloe vera, and capsaicin\u2014 the ingredient that makes chili peppers hot. Was it fabulous? Oh, this worked all right. My lips were flushed and full for about an hour. Unfortunately, so was the side of my face that the mask came in contact with when I wiped it off. Apply -- and remove -- with caution! The mask: Freeman Feeling Beautiful Avocado &amp;amp;amp; Oatmeal Facial Clay Mask, $4 What&amp;#039;s in it? Oil-absorbing kaolin and bentonite clays, plus calming oatmeal and hydrating avocado. Was it fabulous? This mask couldn&amp;#039;t quite pull the crap from my pores on its own (I stick to Bior\u00E9 Pore Strips for that job). But it does make an excellent post pore-strip step, removing excess oils without overdrying skin. The mask: Bath by Bettijo Mudder Nature Detoxifying Spa Mud, $48 What&amp;#039;s in it? French green-and-pink clays, jojoba, and a mystery cooling ingredient. Was it fabulous? You can apply this mask anywhere and everywhere (I used it on my arms and legs), and in 10 minutes, it&amp;#039;ll make your parts soft and &amp;quot;awake&amp;quot; -- my skin was tingling! The mask: Gena SpaCaviar Hand Mask, $12 What&amp;#039;s in it? Caviar, dahling! Plus green tea, grapeseed extract, and spot-lightening mulberry. Was it fabulous? The Elmer&amp;#039;s Glue folks should watch out: This mask delivers an immensely satisfying peel-off experience. Not to mention how it made my hands sweet-smelling and totally touchable. The mask: Givenchy Black For Light Mask, $80 What&amp;#039;s in it? Vitamins A, B, and C to speed cell turnover and slow melanin production. Was it fabulous? A black mask\u2014what could be more chic? I loved the luxurious application brush and how the mask left my skin looking smooth and even. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
