The Face Shop Real Nature Lotus

I used this mask the other night. It was the second time I used it so I figured it was about time to share my thoughts about it. This mask is from the budget friendly sheet mask range 'Real Nature' from The Face Shop.

Claims
"The mask sheet drenched in serum with the pure energy of Lotus Flower moisturizes and gives tired, rough skin a boost of radiance."

Directions
"1. Wash face and apply toner. 2. Pull out mask and carefully place on face. 3. Remove after 10-15 minutes and pat face lightly to absorb remaining essence into skin."

Ingredients list

Noticeable ingredients

Nelumbo Nucifera Flower Extract (lotus: skin conditioning), Betaine (moisturizing) and Allantoin (soothing, anti-inflammatory). 

The packaging

On the front side of the pouch, there are lotus flowers. On the back side of the pouch there are claims and directions in both Korean, English and French (I think?). There are also ingredients list in both Korean and English.

The mask

When I opened the pouch and took out the mask, it was difficult to unfold due to the amount of slits.

The sheet material was medium-thick - like average sheet material.

Essence
The essence was not clear but it wasn't white either. It didn't drip while I unfolded the sheet and the essence didn't run 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 strong floral smell. It was a little overwhelming since it was noticeable while the mask was on.

Fit
The fit was okay. Both the holes for the eyes and the hole for the mouth were big enough. There were plenty of slits to adjust the mask for a better fit.
I couldn't move while I was wearing the mask because it didn't adhere that well to my skin.

Time
According to the back of the pouch, you should leave the mask on for 10-15 minutes. I left it on for 20 minutes and it was still damp when I removed it.

While wearing the mask it didn't irritate my skin.

Results
When I took off the sheet, the remaining essence on my skin absorbed within a few minutes. It didn't leave any sticky residue. My skin was feeling soft and hydrated.

Price
This costs about $2 so it's not expensive.

Would I recommend?
This is a decent everyday mask but it might irritate sensitive noses.

Pros
- Hydrating.
- No sticky residue.
- Budget friendly.

Cons
- Strong smell.
- The fit could be better.
- Didn't adhere well to my skin.

Repurchase?
I have a few of these left but once I've used those, I will not repurchase. It was an okay mask but it didn't 'wow' me.
