7th Heaven Barbie You've Got This Pink Chocolate Purifying Clay Mask Review

By Maychiri's Thoughts - January 25, 2025

Come on, Barbie, let’s go party – or, rather, let’s go test out this 7th Heaven Barbie You've Got This Pink Chocolate Purifying Clay Mask!
 
 
To say that I don’t like Barbie would be a lie. Although I wasn’t the biggest Barbie kid, I did have a couple of dolls and I enjoyed dressing them up. But the real Barbie fever came much, much later. Specifically, with the live action Barbie film! I’ve always loved Barbie pink as a colour, but this film made me realise that I actually like Barbie much more than I thought! So when I saw that DM had a few Barbie clay masks, I knew I had to get one of them – especially because they (or at least, one of them?) seem to be themed around chocolate! My precious, precious chocolate! I chose this one because ‘purifying’ felt like the best choice for my oily, problematic skin. But is it? Well, let’s see!
 
 

Packaging: sachet, as usual. But since this is a collaboration with Barbie™, it is very... girly, I’d say. Which is right up my alley! I love the purple and magenta colours used; it is still a very feminine design without drowning in a sea of bright pink. The white goes so well with the purple! The text is white as well, so it is very easy to read. All the information is in the back, as usual. Now, yes, there is like a dozen different fonts used here, so it does look a bit jumbled, and the front is a bit too busy in my opinion. But I do love the name: ‘You’ve Got This’ is a fantastic reassuring message, as is the ‘Be Good to Yourself’ – I frequently forget to do that, so I needed this message. You can always count on Barbie to pick you up the ground and dust you off! 
 
 
 
 
Of course, it wouldn’t be a Barbie collab without the woman herself being there – along with two friends, with varying skintones! A+ for diversity! Because everyone should be able to experience this mask! 
 
 

Ingredients: cocoa (Theobroma cacao) seed butter/fruit powder (aka, chocolate powder!), glycerine, shea (Butyrospermum parkii) butter, sweet almond (Prunus amygdalus dulcis) oil, juniper (Juniperus communis) fruit oil, vanilla (Vanilla planifolia) fruit extract for nourishment. No parabens. The clay is kaolin, which is a pretty common choice for face masks. Oh... my... god, cocoa butter is literally the third ingredient??? And it has chocolate powder??? Oh this really is tailor-made for chocoholics like me! The other notable ingredients are nourishing and purifying ones, so this mask should have visible effects – in theory. We’ll see in practice. The scent is indescribably opulent and delicious! It’s everything I ever wished for in a chocolate-themed mask! Now, beware, this scent may make you crave chocolate – it smells legitimately like the richest, most gooey chocolate! Like an amazing chocolate mousse with dark chocolate filling underneath it! I cannot even begin to describe how much I love this scent! Ahh, it’s literally perfect! But it is super intense; I can still smell it on my face throughout the next day! And I smelled it the entire time the mask was drying; my nose usually gets used to scents much quicker than this... or perhaps it did not want to get used to this heavenly scent? Quite possible! Anyways, the expiration date is listed only on the translated sticker; I cannot find it anywhere on the sachet. This is standard practice for 7th Heaven masks. The mask should be left on for 20 minutes, so that the clay can harden, and then it should be rinsed off. I don’t like this long time, but I get why it is what it is. 
 
 
 
 
Colour: oh... I thought this would be dark brown, like chocolate, to match the heavenly scent, but it’s actually light pink! I guess it is called ‘Pink Chocolate’ for a reason; it reminds me of ruby chocolate or chocolate that has strawberry yogurt filling. Both are delicious, but not nearly as much as dark chocolate. It looks very milky on my skin, and the thick, clay formula makes it look so yogurty. 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
So, this is a clay mask, but it doesn’t actually feel that much like clay. It is just very, very greasy. So greasy that it feels slippery. But that does make it easy to apply as it doesn’t tug at the skin. That also makes the mask very heavy and occlusive, but that is common with clay masks. It’s actually slightly more lightweight than most other clay masks, but it still feels like a thick layer sitting on top of my skin. Of course, since this is a clay mask, the formula changes while it is drying, becoming much drier and cakey. It also starts to crack after about 20 minutes. Again, usual stuff with clay masks.
 
 
 
 
 
Since the formula is so slippery and greasy, it is very easy to apply this mask. It doesn’t start to dry for at least a few minutes after applying it, so you have plenty of time to make sure it is applied properly. It needs to be applied in a thick layer, so it is great that it doesn’t start to dry too soon. 
 
 
 
The first thing I feel is a rush of a chilling sensation. It’s almost minty, but since this doesn’t have menthol, it’s not that. It could be the juniper extract? Either way, it feels super refreshing! It also feels occlusive and heavy, but the refreshing, purifying feeling is very nice! Then, as the mask is drying, it starts to feel constricting. This is normal, this is just the clay hardening. Besides that, the deeply purifying feeling still stays, up until the very end. I am hoping that this means that my skin will be more balanced and calmer, but we’ll see! 
 
 
Reading the ingredients, I thought it would just feel very nourishing, so this is a surprise – but I actually kinda like it!
 
 
 
I was worried that this mask would be hard to remove – clay masks can often be very difficult to wash off, after all. But this mask is actually very easy to remove; I didn’t have to scrub my face with a makeup remover pad and not a lot of the mask stayed on the pad, either, which will make it easier to clean the pad. Although, even after thoroughly removing the mask, I can still smell the chocolate very clearly. Not that I mind! It’s just an observation.
 
 
 
 
Alright, I’ll admit, I do like the results this clay mask has. I am most surprised that my skin doesn’t look overly dry, it is just matte but not dried out. And it doesn’t feel dried out, either. The biggest change is in how much more purified my skin looks; pores are much narrower and look cleaner and my overall tone is more even. My skin just looks so deeply cleansed! And it feels clean as well! Another thing I noticed is that my undereye seems to be slightly brighter and my overall skin is much firmer and tauter than before. Oh – I did not expect this mask to do that! That’s awesome! My skin also looks a bit less textured, which is good, because my LED mask has made my skin more textured. Pretty great results actually! Wow! Well, of course they’d be great when there is so much chocolate in this mask!
 
 
My skin still looked quite clear and purified the next day, although the brightening effects were diminished greatly. So it seems that my skin is pretty happy with this mask? 



Overall, ah, it’s so lovely that my skin enjoyed this Barbie mask! The only thing that would’ve made the whole experience better would be watching a Barbie film while it is drying, though none of them are as short as how much time this mask needs, which is 20 minutes. Although, 20 minutes is a bit long for face masks, I prefer shorter drying times. Seeing – and especially, smelling! – this mask is making me crave chocolate! This is dangerously delicious-smelling! It smells literally just like the richest, most delicious dark chocolate! And it’s an extremely intense scent, so intense that I can smell it under my nose the entire time the mask is drying! Usually, I would mind having such an intense scent, but here I adore it! And even though I washed off the mask thoroughly, I can still smell the chocolate scent the next day. It’s making me hungry, ngl! I could do with some delicious hot choccy right now... but back to the mask! The mask isn’t chocolate brown, it is actually light milky pink. I mean, this variant is called ‘Pink Chocolate’ so this shouldn’t be a surprise. The formula is super greasy, and it doesn’t feel like clay all that much. Well, not at first! After it starts to dry, then it becomes much more clay-like. It feels heavy on skin, but the results are well worth this; my skin is noticeably more purified, with pores looking much narrower and more refined. And my skin overall just looks clearer, if that makes sense. It’s also a bit more radiant, so it seems that my skin enjoyed this mask as much as I enjoyed the scent! It also doesn’t cause any irritations or breakouts, so it is suitable for sensitive skin – I should know, because my skin is very sensitive! Yay! I knew I could count on this choccy mask! And on Barbie! Now time to wear pink head to toe, to celebrate how good this mask was, and to eat seven bars of chocolate! I will indeed recommend this mask, it is very good for anyone looking to give their skin a deep purifying cleanse!
