Sep Face Lifting Mask

Another week, another face mask.  If I had it my way, I'd do at least 2 face masks a week, but between chasing around a toddler, running a household, working full-time, and being 33 weeks pregnant, I find it hard to remember!

I don't know about anyone else, but I find using a sheet face mask really indulgent - am I on my own there?

Important Info: 

Name:   Sep Face Lifting Mask
Size:      30g 
Price:    $14.00USD (per Memebox Lucky Box #1 informational card)

What is it?

As per the informational card: - 
This sheet mask is a 6 in 1 facial hydrogel mask made with a special fabric normally used for body shaping underwear.  It provides intensive nutrition, fights against the appearance of wrinkles, brightens skin tone, firms fine lines, and hydrates the skin.

Packaging

The mask was enclosed in a large white foil packet with a beautiful silver lace design on it.  The packet had a tearing mark, which made it really easy to open.

All directions on the packaging were in Korean.  The informational card I received advised to apply the mask after cleansing, leave it on for 10 minutes, and then remove.  The excess product left on the face should be allowed to absorb.

First Impressions

Before I get into the product itself, can I first just say this must be the prettiest beauty product I have ever used.  It it were black, the eye part of the mask could be a masquerade mask.  I don't usually get suckered into that kind of stuff but wow!

Okay, back to the important stuff.

The mask comes in two sections.  The eye section covers the forehead, nose and to the bottom of the cheekbones.  The mouth part covers the jaw, upper lip and chin.

Both sections had a solid white plastic backing on one side, and a transparent thinner plastic on the other side.  Each section was folded in half.

I don't know if I was just being a little clumsy handed, but I found the mask quite difficult to remove from the back and front backing.  It may be because of the slipperiness of the product, or the fineness of a lace mask, but it took me a little while to get it off the backing.

I found the mask a little too small for my face.  It didn't reach up to the top of my forehead, or all the way to my ears or completely cover my jaw.  I don't think I have a particularly large head......... (Insert joke here lol)

Was It Any Good?

I enjoyed this face mask, but I didn't love it unfortunately.  

The mask felt cooling on my face which was lovely, but just sitting down watching television, I could feel the mask slipping down my face.  I had to keep re-adjusting the eye holes on the top section.   The mouth section kept heading south too.

When I removed the mask after 10 minutes, the mask was still reasonably damp, but it just didn't have enough product on it to adhere to my face properly.

It left a thin layer of product on my face to soak in, and probably after about 10 minutes or so, it was completely absorbed.

It left my skin feeling hydrated, but I didn't notice any brightening or firming of fine lines.  My sister tried this mask too, and she reported that her skin felt tighter - I didn't notice that - bummer.

Rating

3/5  It was nice, but I want more from a sheet mask as expensive as this.
