Tonymoly I'm Real Mask Sheet Seaweeds

Last night, I tried this mask for the first time. It's the first time ever that I've tried a sheet mask with seaweed so I didn't really know what to expect. To me, seaweed in skincare sounds so weird but I should've gotten used to that 'whaaaat?' feeling when I think skincare ingredients are weird because there are so many ingredients in Korean skincare products that I would've never thought could benefit the skin but actually does benefit the skin. 

This mask is from the budget friendly sheet mask range 'I'm Real' from Tonymoly.

The packaging
The packaging is standard 'I'm Real' packaging - with a graffic drawing of the main ingredient on the front side of the pouch and the entire pouch has a color that matches the main ingredient; in this case it's blue. On the back side 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 mask, it was easy to unfold.

The sheet material was stiff and a little thicker than average sheet material.

Essence
The essence was thin and clear. The sheet didn't drip while I was unfolding it and the essence didn't run down my neck while I was wearing the mask.
There was about a teaspoon amount of essence left in the pouch.

Smell
The essence had a sweet perfumed smell. It wasn't unpleasant but it was noticeable while the mask was on.

Fit
The fit was okay. There were slits to adjust the mask for a better fit and the sheet material did not break easily so it was no problem to do. The holes for the eyes and the hole for the mouth were big enough for my face. Unfortunately, the stiff material didn't adhere well to my face.

Time
According to the back of the pouch, you should leave the mask on for 20-30 minutes. I left it on for 25 minutes before it started to dry around the nose.

While wearing the mask, it had a pleasant cooling effect.

Results
When I took of the sheet, the remaining essence on my skin absorbed after five minutes. It didn't leave any sticky residue.
It left my skin hydrated and radiant.

Price
You can buy three masks from Roseroseshop on eBay * for less than $5 (USD) so it's a budget friendly mask.

Pros
- Nice cooling effect while on.
- Left my skin hydrated and radiant.
- Affordable.

Cons
- Stiff material.
- Bad adherence.
- Smell was noticeable while the mask was on.

Would I recommend?
This is not an amazing mask but it is a nice every day mask so yes.

Repurchase?
I still have two left of these but once I've used those, I will not repurchase.
