Product Review:
Having tried, and enjoyed, other fiber face masks when I saw
the variety Sephora was offering I had to grab them. The bright and colorful
wall in store makes you feel like a kid in a candy shop so make sure to get
your favorites! If you have never used any face fiber face masks don’t feel
overwhelmed by the color or choice selection. This week’s On The Shelf will
break down the five that were in my pack with the usual mini review on each and
comments taken directly from Sephora and my own feedback.
First, these masks are created in such a way that they will
accommodate many face shapes with either simple snipping or just folding and
overlapping edges. Next, the masks are SUPER hydrated and they should not feel
dry to the touch. Lastly, after applying recommended time is fifteen minutes
but I usually leave them on for an hour. I have actually slept with a couple
overnight. For a more intense cooling sensation pop these well sealed masks in
your fridge for an hour before using, this can help reduce facial puffiness and
inflammation from environmental causes.
Honey Mask: “Nourishes and balances to soothe and refresh
dry skin.”
I did not notice any improvement in my skin after use. This
mask was amply moist and a bit tacky from the honey.
Pearl Mask: “Perfects and brightens with natural-origin
pearl to create high luminosity.”
No distinct scent, was not irritating, good amount of
product, and did leave skin noticeably brighter.
Pomegranate Mask: “Awakens, energizes, and protects the skin
with antioxidant-rich natural pomegranate extract.”
Absolutely loved this fruity aroma of this mask from the
instant I opened it. After wearing this mask for an hour it left a lot of
excess on my skin, which I massaged for a couple minutes all over my face, that
was tacky but definitely felt suppler. The following day, I received many
compliments about how my skin looked as if it were “glowing”.
Ginseng Mask: “Tones and energizes while providing a
tightening effect for a plumped and supple complexion.”
My least favorite out of the five I tried. If you are a fan
of ginseng then go right ahead and give this one a shot. For me the smell was
overpowering and the product started to make my eyes water. The warming
sensation it created on my skin was not pleasant. If you have sensitive skin
perhaps this one may not be for you as I wore this mask for ten minutes had to
take it off and within another five minutes had to completely wash my face. The
irritation and discomfort this mask caused me was not worth the “tightening
effect” it did seem to produce.
Rose Mask: “Provides deep moisture and brightening
properties through natural rose extract.”
Love, Love, LOVE this one! The light rose scent is pleasant without
being overwhelming while wearing it. If you are not a fan of roses then avoid
this mask. This mask was drenched in product and I had no issues with irritation
to skin or eyes. Once applied it made my skin feel cool and refreshed. This
mask felt so good I fell asleep only removing it once it had almost dried out
mid-way through the night. My skin felt and looked amazing the next morning! This
will be a go to for many summer, and winter, nights to rejuvenate what was lost
from the elements.
I enjoyed all but one of these masks and have repurchased a
couple and as long as these are available they will be on my shelf.
