"  I&amp;#039;ve had a jar of Mario Badescu&amp;#039;s raved-about Whitening Mask in my bathroom for months now and hadn&amp;#039;t gotten around to trying it, so don&amp;#039;t ask me why I decided to test it out on what happened to be an extra crazy morning. Somehow, my oldest daughter&amp;#039;s sudden obsession with making sure her hair is perfect, paired with her inability to actually do her hair has become one more way to torture me in the a.m.\u2014although I know how tough starting middle school can be, so I&amp;#039;m being patient.  Anywho, with both kiddos finally on the bus, I slathered this stuff on and\u2014in the 10 minutes it took to work it&amp;#039;s magic\u2014had a quick bowl of cereal and picked out my outfit for the day. When I rinsed it off, my skin looked really bright and was so soft. Also, pores? What pores? I got three random compliments that day, and they were all a variation on the polite &amp;quot;Miss, you are so pretty,&amp;quot; and not the pervy &amp;quot;Let me tell you what I want to do to you&amp;quot; variety, so I&amp;#039;m going with the theory that these three gentlemen were just compelled to comment on the glow I had going from the mask.  Now, this stuff is meant to even skin tone and fade discolorations\u2014obviously that&amp;#039;s not happening in one application\u2014but I&amp;#039;m going to keep using it and report back on whether I see any change in the few dark spots I have from random pimples. If nothing else, this will be my pick-me-up for dull-skin days. Also, from now on I will be masking it up in the morning, not at night right before I go to bed. Why waste all those hours of good glow?  Whitening Mask, $24; mariobadescu.com. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
