Ingredients

Water, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Mineral Oil, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (2,000ppm), Milk Extract (2,000ppm), PEG-40 Stearate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Stearic Acid, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract, Lactobacillus/Soybean Ferment Extract, Saccharomyces/Imperata Cylindrica Root Ferment Extract, Saccharomyces/Viscum Album (Mistletoe) Ferment Extract, Nelumbo Nucifera Callus Culture Extract, 1,2-Hexanediol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Caprylyl Glycol, Illicium Verum (Anise) Fruit Extract, Carbomer, Triethanolamine, Phenoxyethanol, Disodium EDTA, Fragrance

This mask contains 21 grams (0.74 oz) and has a slightly citrusy green tea scent.

The mask is a little bit thicker material that has air pockets to hold lots of essence. The eye, nose and mouth holes all fit pretty well, though I did find the eye holes slightly irritating.

Recommended use is after cleansing, prepare the skin with toner. Place the on the skin and adjust to fit comfortably. Leave it on for 15-20 minutes and then remove the mask and gently pat any remaining essence into the skin. Something to note is that this mask contains mineral oil which is a pretty well known irritant. After using, The mask is made of soft cotton cellulose and the fit of the mask is very nice. The eyes, nose and mouth holes all fit comfortably. The mask has a pretty noticeable citrusy green tea type of scent, it could possibly an irritant. The mask itself is a little bit thicker and does hold a lot of essence, it does slip a little bit on the forehead area but otherwise it adheres as well as thicker mask can. The eye holes I found to be kind of irritating and I needed to adjust them. After removing the mask, my skin looked more even toned and moisturized. It didn't cause any irritation and added something of a glow to the skin. It soothed redness away pretty well. I'd recommend this to people with dry skin and irritated skin but be careful as I don't think this is the best for sensitive skin.

What I like: this mask gives the skin a lovely glow and it does a good job of soothing redness and irritation and it has decent ingredients. The scent is pleasant and unique and the effects are long lasting. What I don't like: the scent would definitely be an irritant for some people and it contains some irritating ingredients.

Pros:

Moisturizing

Soothing

Adds a glow

Tones skin

Good ingredients

Long lasting effects

Cons:

Fragrance

Mineral oil

Would I buy again?

Maybe

January 2019 Favorites

Skin Care:

Physicians Formula Organic Wear Bright Booster Oil Elixir 

If you’re looking for a gorgeous, budget-friendly oil blend, then this is it. It’s primarily camellia seed oil (an antioxidant-rich, non-comedogenic oil), but also includes goodies like argan oil and rhodiola extract. This does contain essential oils, but I’ve experienced no irritation. This is really a steal at the size and quality of product you get for $15. This was gifted to me by @a-floral-ghost and I’m grateful- I’m really enjoying it!

Shara Shara Berry Bomb All in One Ampoule

This is a great hydrating product for the winter. This ampoule is packed with skin nourishing ingredients like niacinamide, cholesterol, and ceramides, so it’s more heavy-duty than your typical hyaluronic acid serum. It’s on the thicker side, but I think it would be well suited to all skin types. This has been my one step for hydration between cleanser and moisturizer, and my skin’s been loving it!

A’Pieu Nonco Mastic Calming Cream

The texture of this cream is just 😍 It’s like whipped cream! It doesn’t feel too heavy, but you can feel it on your skin when you wash your face in the morning, which is a thing I love to see in a moisturizer. I don’t necessarily think this cream is suited to the most sensitive of skins (it contains a number of essential oils), but it’s non-irritating for me and the scent is inoffensive. Great for winter.

Makeup:

Stila Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadows

If you know me at this point, you know that makeup has to be stupid easy for me to use it. These Stila liquid eye shadows fit the bill perfectly! Takes 2 seconds to put on, but looks like you put in so much more effort. I love the glitter! Cloud is probably my favorite shade; an icy purple. Also layers well over a powder eyeshadow if you want a more complex look.

Glossier Lash Slick Mascara

This is a mascara I think everyone can love. It gives serious leeeength & separation. With enough layers you can get volume, but this is not the mascara for you if you like THICC lashes. Stays well and washes off easy. If you’re a fan of the Glossier aesthetic, you can’t go wrong with this mascara.

Hair:

Ouai Hair Oil

2019 is the year of hair care for me. If I’m so discerning about what I put on my skin, then I can stand to put some thought into my hair and scalp. This Ouai Hair Oil meets that level of luxury I was looking for. The scent is gorgeous (violets and gardenias)! It’s lightweight, so I don’t worry about using too much in my hair. This is great for smoothing out the hair, which I need on my crown and ends. If anything, I would like to try their Rose Hair Oil next, because that’s targeted towards thicker hair like mine.
