January 7th, 2017: This was a soft velvety cotton sheet mask that was drenched in a milky white serum. It did have a slight scent, but unless you're holding it right up to your nose you can't really smell it...which I didn't love the scent, but I didn't hate it either. It was ok. As for the fit, it is a bit bigger than your average sheet mask width wise so it fit the sides of my face nicely. Lengthwise it was pretty average. Eye holes were fine and while my mouth did fit into the mouth hole I would've preferred a bit of a bigger hole. I did end up stretching it out ever so slightly...just the teensiest bit though.
It was cooling and refreshing while on the face, and once removed the serum sank in nicely and wasn't sticky or tacky but it did take a few minutes to completely sink in. Once it was done sinking it, this left me with a nice layer of hydration on my face and it felt a little bit softer and smoother, but I don't know that it really did anything else beyond that. This is supposed to be the elastic/firming variation that also gives you radiant skin, but I didn't notice any firming or radiance. This to me was just your basic hydration sheet masks.
LOVE the packaging, but sadly not in love with the product. This was just really average and meh to me. Not terrible, but just really basic. I have no plans to repurchase this sheet mask, but if you want a prettily packaged filler sheet mask then it's fine as it seems to forever perpetually be on sale for $1, but I wouldn't pay any more than that for this sheet mask.

VERDICT
This was a nice cotton mask that fit the face nicely. It was cooling and refreshing while on the face, and once removed the serum sank in nicely and wasn't sticky or tacky. It gave my face a nice boost of hydration and left it feeling softer and smoother than it was going into this masking session so it did improve my skin texture, but I don't know that it clarified my pores any more than it was. I've definitely tried products that did a much better job of that than this did.
Nothing amazing, but it is a nice solid everyday filler mask and it seems to perpetually be on sale for $1 so for that price it's worth it. If it goes back to it's original price of $4 then I would skip it, but for $1 this is nice.

VERDICT
Skin Clearing Cotton Swab: I've really been wanting to try one of these king sized cotton swab exfoliators, so I was excited that this 3 step system included one; but if you have sensitive skin you might want to skip this step.
As soon as I started running this over my face my skin turned red and stung a teeny bit around my nose and mouth...but as quickly as the redness appeared it seemed to fade as I moved onto a different part of my face so I didn't stop and still used it and wiped it over my face focusing on my t-zone where I'm the most porous. After I was done, my face was a little splotchy but it seemed to be ok overall. FYI, this contains alcohol so if you're sensitive or like to avoid that ingredient take note.
I wasn't wowed by this though. Usually when I use a product that does a good job of exfoliating, my skincare sinks in beautifully afterwards. My face just drinks it up so quickly and completely I can actually tell a difference between when I've used a good exfoliator and when I haven't and so that has become my standard of how to judge if an exfoliator is good...to see how well my skincare sinks in afterwards, and with this one while it wasn't terrible it didn't do an amazing job either to where my skin was able to just drink up my skincare...so that right there tells me it didn't do the best job.

Skin Radiance Aura Ampoule: The included ampoule was a gel type ampoule that wasn't sticky or tacky at all. I was hoping it would be more of a creamy consistency and therefore soothing and calming since step 1 can be irritating, but it wasn't. It was hydrating though but that's about it...I didn't it find it to be particularly brightening like it states.
Skin Tone Up Superfine Mask: I LOVED the super soft cushy cotton material this sheet mask was made of. It felt so soft and gentle and nice and it was great at holding the serum. Even though it was absolutely drenched in serum, there was no drip-page whatsoever. As for the fit, it was a decent fit all around.
It was decently cooling and soothing feeling while on the face and once removed, the remaining serum wasn't sticky or tacky. As for whether it made an actual difference in my face...it was hydrating, but again I didn't find it to be brightening at all. My skin wasn't bright, clear, or radiant...it was just a little more splotchy and hydrated than my face was going into this.
OVERALL: This is a pass for me. The thing I liked most about this 3 step system was the material of the sheet mask...I wish ALL sheet masks were made from that material, but beyond that I was underwhelmed.

VERDICT
Depending on how you lather this up the texture is different and the results are different as well.
First off, this is not the cleanser for you if you like lazy skincare as it takes some time and effort to break down the powder ball and lather it up. These are super compacted hard balls of powder that do not want to break apart.
Secondly, there are two ways to break down the balls and lather them up. You can go straight in with your hands which takes forever and is difficult to break down the ball and gives you a very starchy lather...the consistency is a lot heavier and kind of doughy? Actually I don't know that doughy is the right word, but like a very watered down dough...or the consistency of a powder that doesn't have enough water added to it so it's liquid-y ish but has a viscosity to it. Does that even make sense? I feel like I speak non-sensical gibberish half the time.
Anywho, the second method, which I much prefer, is to lather this up using the mesh bag that was included with my purchase. When I place it in the mesh bag and lather it up, it becomes this very fluffy airy lightweight bubbly lather and it's much easier to break down the ball and lather it up. I don't know what it is about the mesh bag that accomplishes this, but it does something to the ball to make it lather up so differently and better and in return gives you a better result.
When I use the second mesh bag method, the lather gets my face clean and soft and smooth, but when I lather it up using my hands, which gives a lather that is heavier and starchy in consistency, it leaves my face feeling a bit dry and tight. Clean, but dry and tight feeling. That doesn't happen when I lather it up using the mesh bag...it doesn't leave my face dry or tight at all. Kind of weird that the method of lather makes this difference, but it does.
Overall, either way I'm not in love with this cleanser. I think it's mediocre at best. I got this because it was a cute bottle, I'd never tried a powder cleanser before, it contained the 9 different cereal ingredients shown above, and I thought it would be great for travel because it's a powder and not a liquid and I could just take the appropriate amount of balls that I needed in a ziploc bag, but it's a no go for me. I will of course use this up, using the second mesh bag lather method, as it's not terrible but I will definitely not be repurchasing this in the future.
