VERDICT
This sheet mask was made of a porous mesh-like cotton material soaked in a caramel jelly serum, and because of the viscous jelly type serum it wasn't drippy at all even though it was seriously drenched. It fit my face nicely all around and the eye and mouth holes fit nicely as well.

It was nice and cooling and refreshing while on the face, and once removed the serum sank in nicely and wasn't sticky or tacky at all. I found this to be very hydrating and my face seemed to be a bit brighter and more radiant and all seemed good for about a minute...but then my cheeks and forehead started to get a little splotchy. 

Once I layered on my skincare though (I'm testing out the Mizon Snail Repair line) it seemed to take the majority of it down right away...about 90% of the splotchiness seemed to disappear by the time I was done applying the ampoule, serum and cream.

During that first minute after removal I would've said that this would be a nice filler mask, but once my face started to get splotchy I obviously changed my mind so this is going to be a pass for me. I am coming to find that I love the jelly serum masks though. If you'd like to try a good one that has the same jelly consistency serum soaked mask then check out the Banobagi line: https://ahnspired.blogspot.com/2016/05/banobagi.html. Those are awesome.

VERDICT
January 6th, 2017: This sheet mask was made of a gauzy mesh-like material that was drenched in a caramel jelly serum, and even though it was a viscous jelly type serum it was ever so slightly drippy, but not a big deal...especially since there was soooo much left over jelly serum that I had already smeared all over my neck, chest, hands and arms. This is a bit bigger than your average sheet mask, so it actually fit my face really nicely all around. It didn't cover it entirely, but almost. I would've preferred a mouth hole that was a bit bigger, but it was fine as were the eye holes.

It was nice and cooling and refreshing while on the face, and once removed there was a ton of serum still left over on my face so it did take a few minutes to sink in, but it wasn't sticky or tacky at all. It was very hydrating, I didn't even feel the need to finish off the rest of my skincare, and it left my face softer, smoother, brighter and more radiant. Plus, this didn't irritate my skin in the slightest like the Pore Care and Revitalizing variation did.


Overall I think this is a really nice solid sheet mask, and much better than the other two variations that I tried. This is on the pricier side averaging about $5/sheet mask, so I don't know that I would repurchase this unless I could get it on sale, but otherwise I say go for it and give it a try if you want. I, however, will be sticking to the Banobagi sheet maskshttps://ahnspired.blogspot.com/2016/05/banobagi.html, which are also a jelly serum sheet mask that is awesome and much cheaper at $2/sheet mask.

VERDICT
This is a nice everyday sheet mask. It was made from a gauzy material that was drenched in a caramel jelly like serum. It fit nicely all around and the eye holes fit nicely as well...wish the mouth hole was a bit bigger, but it still fit my lips.

It was very cooling and refreshing while on the face, and once removed it did take a few minutes for the serum to sink in as it left behind a nice layer of the jelly serum but it wasn't sticky or tacky which was nice. Performance wise, this did provide a nice layer of hydration and once the serum sank in completely my face did seem a bit brighter and radiant, but I don't think it's anything to write home about. Nothing spectacular or unique to distinguish this from the mass of sheet masks out there...this is just a nice everyday filler mask.

It did make my cheeks a little bit splotchy though...nothing major, just a little bit, but nonetheless it did make my cheeks a bit splotchy so this is a pass for me, but if you can find this for $1...maybe $2 then this would be a fine everyday filler mask to try...but I don't know that I would pay more than that.

HOW TO USE

VERDICT
So much drip-page with this sheet mask. This is a medium thickness sheet mask soaked in a VERY watery essence...no viscosity to it whatsoever and so it just drips down the neck. The front of my shirt had a big spot where it was soaked from all the serum dripping down my neck. Was not a fan of all that drip-page...especially since that serum is all the good stuff and I want it absorbed into my face not the front of my shirt.

Perhaps that's why I wasn't impressed by the results of the sheet mask either...because a lot of the serum did not remain in the sheet mask to be absorbed into my face. I didn't find it to be super hydrating or brightening or healing. This didn't give me a radiant glow. I feel like this did nothing for my skin at all.


Centella Asiatica and Honey are supposed to be awesome skincare ingredients so I was really looking forward to this mask, but I was sadly disappointed. It wasn't super cooling and refreshing on the face either like most sheet masks are...in fact it kind of burned ever so slightly for a bit. Wasn't soothing at all. Therefore, this is a definite pass for me. There's better out there.

VERDICT
Nice little pick me up to hydrate the nose and under eye areas...aka the "bat eye zone" as they call it. Super cute and adorable, and perfectly appropriate for the halloween season. This is made of a very soft cotton material that is very comfortable to wear and it adheres nicely. I had no problems running around getting ready with this on. I don't know that it really brightened the area, but it was calming and soothing and hydrating and definitely perked up my bat zone for sure.

Don't know that it's worth $4, but if you find it on sale then it's worth a try...to have some fun during the halloween season. Beyond that I don't know that I would repurchase. Glad I got to try it and it was fun, but my one time experience was enough. This is too expensive to keep repurchasing and using. Better to just invest in a nice jar of hydrogel eye patches, or some nice cotton pads to DIY your own makeshift mask for the bat zone.

VERDICT
This was your average sheet mask. It was hydrating and nice and a little bit calming, but nothing spectacular. The material itself kind of looked and felt like gauze...a single layer of gauze that had a thicker weave made of a somewhat plastic-y cotton. Not the softest and plushiest material, but it was still comfortable and fine. Considering this is only $1 per mask this is great to just throw on and use as an everyday mask in between uses of the more pricier premium masks.

VERDICT
I really really enjoyed this sheet mask. It's made of a thin soft gauzy material soaked in a creamy milky essence, which to me smells nice...kinda reminds me of my St. Ives Intensive Moisture lotion. It's not a super strong scent, but you can get a faint whiff of it while it's on the face.

This mask was very cooling, refreshing, soothing and very hydrating...my face just drank up the moisture. The description says it restores dehydrated and tired skin and it definitely did restore and revitalize my poor face which was dehydrated, neglected and tired from my exhausting whirlwind business trip...stale recycled airplane cabin air included. Thankfully my skin didn't freak out or anything like that due to the abuse and neglect, but it was left dehydrated, tired, and dull and this went to work on all those issues and left my skin silky soft and smooth and nourished and just feeling really good.

I would definitely recommend giving this a try. It feels good, smells good, restores and revitalizes...plus it's only $1! I know I want some more of these to have on hand.
UPDATE: This sheet mask is amazing. I didn't even finish my skincare last night. I just misted my face with some of my Missha First Treatment Essence before I went to bed and called it a day. When I woke up this morning my face was still going strong looking and feeling amazing. My foundation just glided on beautifully. For $1 this sheet mask is the bomb! Definitely a must buy. I have a crap ton of sheet masks lying around so I really shouldn't buy anymore...but I am so going to go buy a bunch more of these to have on hand.

VERDICT
Translucent gauzy cotton sheet mask soaked in a clear essence. Like the others, this also feels nice and cooling and refreshing on the face. Don't know about the radiant glow, but I feel like it did brighten my face a teeny bit and it was moisturizing of course. Again, at just $1 per mask though this is great to just throw on and use as an everyday mask in between uses of the more pricier premium masks.

VERDICT

First off, this didn't irritate my face like the Abalone mask did so this right out the gate is much better then that variation, but overall this wasn't that bad. Not that it was amazing, but it was still nice.

Like the abalone sheet mask, this is also made of a super thin soft gauzy material that I really liked and it fits the face nicely just like the other one. It was cooling and refreshing while on the face, and once removed, again like the abalone mask, the essence was a bit tacky but it dissipates as it sinks into the skin. 


As for the actual results, this left my face nice and hydrated and smooth and a little brighter and radiant than before which is why I like this one A LOT better than the abalone variation and think its nice just in general. If you can find this on sale for $1, then this is a nice filler sheet mask for those of you who follow or want to follow the 1 일1팩 aka 1 day 1 mask trend going on in Korea...because using a $3-$6+ sheet mask everyday would get really expensive...so it's nice to find some cheaper filler masks that are nice to use.

VERDICT 
This is made of a super thin soft gauzy material that I really liked. It was super cooling and refreshing on the face...it felt like I had stuck my head in the freezer, and because it was so thin it clung to my face really well. It was also big enough to cover the sides of my face all the way to my ear. The only part that wasn't covered was the very top of my forehead, but I have a large forehead and I rarely ever find a sheet mask that covers it in its entirety. I loved the material and it felt so nice on the face I thought I was going to really love this mask, but it actually ended up irritating my face and I don't really think it did much.

The essence was a little tacky after I removed the mask, but it went away as the essence sunk into my skin. It was a bit hydrating, but not super hydrating. As I already mentioned it irritated my skin. I had red splotches and bumps that appeared on my face. My face has been irritated in general lately for some reason (it comes and goes as it pleases), but this mask seems to have exacerbated it and made it worse...btw going off on a tangent but my skin...seems to be going through cycles of being amazingly awesome and then really irritated and bad and then really awesome and then really irritated and bad. Don't know why....maybe changing of the seasons? It's still pretty hot, but I can definitely feel the change is coming...or rather my nose and hands can tell that fall and winter are coming. My nose is starting to get stuffy and my hands are starting to dry out.


Generally though my routine has been the same aside from the different sheet masks that I use. My morning skincare and evening skincare has been constant and the same, my diet hasn't changed or anything...I don't know. Anyone else having skin issues? It's not just my face, but my face and chest. The rest of my body is fine, but my face and chest...when it gets bad it gets bad and I can't seem to pinpoint or identify what is causing it.


Anywho...back to the topic at hand, it exacerbated my irritation and it actually caused a pimple to come to the surface. I now have a lovely bump on my chin that wasn't there before. Coincidence? No? Ironic since this is supposed to absorb excess sebum and clear out your pores and it's not brightening. My face is very red not bright, but again it's irritated so that's why it's red and not bright and luminous looking.


I was really looking forward to this mask. That description sounded awesome and it felt really nice and good while I had it on the face and I loved the material it was made out of and whatnot, but unfortunately I guess it was not meant to be. I did rub the excess serum on my arms and hands which were fine it was just my face that reacted to this, but facial skin is a lot more sensitive than the skin on your body so yeah. My face is weird. Sometimes it can be really sensitive and sometimes it's totally fine, but anywho...hopefully the other variation is a lot better and that one doesn't irritate me as well. Fingers crossed because from past experience I've come to find that different variations from a line can be drastically different. I have hated one variation but then ended up really loving a different variation, so here's hoping.



Kancho Choco Biscuit
Size: 42 g 
Satisfy your sweet tooth with these cute and crunchy biscuits filled with creamy chocolate. Each treat is printed with adorable love-themed Kancho and Chony images. They’re perfect for popping into your mouth as you mask away! 

FINAL VERDICT
This takes me back to my childhood when my mom and grandma used to buy these for me. I loved these little balls of chocolatey goodness that were printed with a cute character/design on them.

I haven't had these in like 20 years, but they taste exactly the same...although my sugar tolerance has gone down since my childhood so I can only pop a few of these at a time, but that's just me. I just have a lower than average tolerance for super sweet things. Most people would love these. Goes great with a glass of milk. 

This totally brought a smile to my face when I saw them, as they will forever remind me of my childhood, my mom, and my grandma.

Pepero Double Dip Strawberry & White
Size: 50 g 
So. Good. Everyone’s fave Pepero sticks upgraded with a double dip of white chocolate and strawberry chocolate. Good luck keeping these away from your friends! On second thought, maybe make it a girls’ night in for one? 

VERDICT
This also brings me back to my childhood. I remember my mother used to get these for me when I was a little girl except back then they didn't have a variety of flavors to choose from. It was just the standard original single dipped milk chocolate sticks which were so yummy.

This strawberry and white chocolate flavor sticks were delicious as well, but that double dip made it a little too sweet for my tastes. That's just me though. I'm not big on a lot of sugar so I tend to like a less amount of sugar and eat less sweets than the average person. 

If these were single dipped and had a longer stick handle to balance out the dipped section that would have been perfect, but again that's just me. I'm the girl that scrapes 99% of the frosting off my cake because it's too sweet for me...but these were still yummy, so I ended up eating them anyways. Just with a lot of milk to wash it down.
