Sheet Masks

Hey Guys!

So today I thought I'd write a quick review on some sheet masks.  For those of you who have never used/heard about sheet masks, here's a little background.

Sheet masks are cotton or paper sheets cut out in a one-size-fits all face shape.  They all have holes for your mouth and eyes with flaps cut out in the nose area so that the sheet fits around the shape of your nose.  Some also have flaps in the eye area (instead of just holes) to cover your CLOSED eyes.  They're soaked in an essence and wrapped individually for one time use.  You can buy different masks based on your skin needs.

I generally buy masks that target dull, undernourished skin or masks that help brighten the skin.  I'll usually use them 2-3 times a week unless I feel like my skin needs some oomph.  Today, I'm going to review the ElishaCoy Caviar and Gold Sheet Mask.

This essence-type, eco-friendly pulp mask sheet contains premium nutrients such as caviar extract and pure gold to recover the skin's natural resilience. (from packaging)

Price: approx. $2/mask

Contents: One sheet, 23 g

I will definitely continue to use this product.

I got this sheet mask, along with a bunch of other ones, at Sune.  First of all, the packaging isn't as adorable as others (for example My Beauty Diary) and the package itself is bigger than My Beauty Diary's masks.  However, the masks are about the same size.  This mask is made out of cotton, which is a total plus for me.  The paper sheet masks are so hard to unfold (Park View Angel has torn a few already) and not as soft as the cotton masks.  This particular mask has eye holes, no flaps, so I was able to watch TV while wearing the mask.  It's scent is very fresh, light and soothing, perfect for nighttime!  After about 10 minutes, I took off the mask and gently patted the remaining essence into my skin.  My pores looked so much smaller and my face looked brighter right away.  Whether or not this will last is something that we will have to wait to find out but for now, I'm liking this mask and am glad I bought a bunch of them.  All in all, a good buy.

That's it for tonight.  I'm still getting the images together for the make-up tutorial I did with Park View Angel.  Look forward to that soon!
