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.


Ultru I'm Sorry For My Skin Black Mud Mask - Tightening
Size: 18g
This mess-free mud mask sheet ​cleans out your pores and controls sebum secretion, thanks to natural extracts like anti-acne and anti-aging Asparagus, Volcanic Ash, and Clay. It also exfoliates dead skin cells and toxins, strengthening skin's barriers and relieving stress. Plus, AMF (Artificial Moisturizing Factor) mimics natural moisturizing agents and slows down moisture evaporation, keeping skin hydrated for 120 hours! After a clean and muddy sesh, you'll be left with tighter, stronger skin for the win.

HOW TO USE
​Remove the plastic film from one side of the sheet mask. Place that side of the sheet mask on cleansed and toned face (top half first, then bottom half). Make sure there are no bubbles and gaps. Leave on for 30 to 40 minutes until the mask hardens completely. Remove slowly from the bottom up, then rinse well with warm water. Continue with normal skincare routine.

VERDICT
I freaking LOVE these Ultru mud sheet masks. They are so amazing and awesome. Just like with the soothing variation, I loved the no mess easy application process, it felt cooling on the face, and it gave fantastically phenomenal results. The fit was completely on par with the soothing variation as well...it completely fit my face lengthwise (it was actually a little bit too long), but it was not big enough widthwise to cover the side perimeter of my face.

One "con" if you will this time around...as the time passed and it started to dry out and get tight (which it does get very dry, hard, and tight) it did start to get a little bit uncomfortable feeling, but I think that's because I don't think I placed it properly. It was ok in certain spots of my face, but not in others...particularly around my right under eye, my left upper eye/eyebrow, left crevice of my nose and the lower left corner of my mouth, but I think if I had placed it better then I wouldn't have had this one issue.


Because it was getting so uncomfortable as it dried I really wanted to remove it, but the instructions say to leave it on for 30-40 mins and then goes on to suggest you leave it on for longer rather than shorter...they say the longer you leave it on the more effective it will be so I powered through and left it on for the full 40 min. and I'm so glad I did because OMG the results were AMAZING.


Again, just like the soothing variation, when I went to remove this it had an odd mixture of having a strong pull which was effective at removing the dead skin cells and pulling everything out as it had dried and hardened and completely stuck to my face, yet being "gentle" at the same time and being easy to pull off with no pain or irritation and pulling out of hairs...however, that said, if you have super sensitive skin I don't know that it would be gentle enough for you. It was completely fine for me, and my skin can be sensitive at times, but generally overall I don't have sensitive skin.


Once removed, my face was so crazy obnoxious baby's bottom smooth and soft and my pores were so clean and small it was ridiculous. I know you can't actually shrink your pores, but this baby did an amazing job of giving that illusion. My pores appeared to be the smallest it's ever been...tightening indeed. On top of that my face was brighter and because my face was so obnoxiously smooth it was reflecting light like crazy giving me an awesome radiant glow...oh and of course so weird, but it was hydrating as well. I don't understand how it can feel so drying and tight while on the face, but so soft and hydrated once removed, but it is.


Definitely give this five stars, two thumbs up, and a green light as a must try. Your skin will thank you. I can't say enough good things about this. I absolutely love it and it's definitely my holy grail mud masking system. This is totally worth the $6 that it costs.

Get your sugar fill, guilt-free! We love this pore-clarifying mask for allowing us to eat a treat or two without feeling sorry for our skin. It’s soaked in a pore-pampering and firming essence that reverses the clogging that excess sugar may cause. 

HOW TO USE
Place the mask over cleansed and toned face. Relax for 10 to 20 minutes, then remove. Lightly pat the remaining essence for improved absorption.

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
This mud sheet mask is AWESOME. It provides a no mess easy application and it feels cooling and refreshing on the face once it's on. Also, unlike the AprilSkin Mummy Mud Mask which left behind a lot of the mud on the plastic backing, the mud for this sheet mask actually completely remained in the actual sheet mask so you were getting the benefit of every morsel of the mud on your face. Also, in terms of fit, it does completely fit my face lengthwise (it even covered my ginormous forehead), but it was not big enough widthwise to cover the side perimeter of my face.

The sheet mask did get very dry and hard as the time passed and it ended up feeling like I had plastered my face, but the instructions say to leave it on for 30-40 mins and then goes on to suggest you leave it on for longer rather than shorter...they say the longer you leave it on the more effective it will be so I left it on for the full 40 min.


I was a bit concerned at first as I had applied it over my eyebrows (they were completely covered as you can see in the pic below) and I was worried it would pull and tug out my eyebrow hairs when I removed the mask as it dried and hardened on my face much like a nose pore strip does, but turns out there was no need to worry. It didn't hurt at all and didn't pull or tug on my eyebrow hairs at all. They remained completely intact. 


It was actually an odd mixture of having a strong pull which was effective at removing the dead skin cells and pulling everything out as it had dried and hardened and completely stuck to my face really well, yet being very gentle at the same time and being easy to pull off with no pain or irritation and pulling out of hairs.


Once off, my skin was left feeling SOOOOOOOO soft and smooth and amazing! It definitely relaxed my stressed out skin, tightened my pores, was hydrating, and it brightened my face as well to boot. I have had a long and fun, but stressful week that consisted of long days which culminated in a back to back 18 hour and 19 hour day running around both of which started at 6AM, so my face was stressed out and rebelling which is why I figured today was the best time to try this out. I am not a morning person and I hate waking up early, but I was pretty much up at 6AM the majority of the week and me and my skin were not a happy camper, but this totally de-stressed it and calmed it down leaving me and my skin detoxed and happy.


I would definitely recommend giving this a go. You will not be disappointed. I can't wait to try out the other variation of this mud sheet mask and stock up on some more of these...I'm also glad to be back home and back to my normal schedule.
