The packaging

I really adore the packaging - it's so pretty. The packaging is just like with all the other sheet masks from this range with the main ingredient on the front. On the back of the pouch, there are claims, directions and ingredients list in both Korean and English.

The mask

When I opened the pouch and took out the sheet, it was difficult to unfold.

The sheet material was comfortable and super thin but it didn't break easily. 

Essence

The essence was clear and watery and there was a lot of it. It was dripping like crazy while I was unfolding the sheet and the essence ran down my neck while I was wearing the mask.

There was about a tablespoon amount of essence left in the pouch.

Smell

The essence had a citrus-y smell which was kind of disappointing to me because I love the smell of roses. Anyway, the smell was pleasant and not too strong.

Fit

The fit was great even though there weren't any slits to improve the fit. Both the holes for the eyes and the hole for the mouth were big enough for my face. The thin material adhered well to my skin and it stayed in its place the whole time I was wearing the mask.

Time

According to the back of the pouch, you should leave the mask on for 10-20 minutes. I left it on for half an hour before it started to dry. 

While wearing the mask, it didn't irritate my skin or feel uncomfortable at all. 

Results

When I took off the sheet, the remaining essence absorbed after about 10 minutes. It left a bit of a sticky residue but that went away when I continued my skincare routine.

It left my skin glowing and my skintone was evened out nicely. My skin felt hydrated and looked healthy. The results didn't last until the next day.

Price

This costs $1.30 (USD) on etudehouse.com or you can buy a set with one of each of the masks from this range and pay $16.91 (USD) on eBay *

Pros

- Pretty packaging.

- Great fit.

- No strong, artificial smell.

Cons

Would I recommend?

Sure. This is a nice mask that does as it claims to do.

Repurchase?

I will not repurchase this because there are other masks from this range that I prefer.
