Ever since I’ve discovered sheet masks, I instantly felt that this would be a great idea to follow up my cleansing mask routine. Sheet masks are so nice to chill and relax in after a day, while watching movies, or reading stuff. So I was browsing our local Daiso store and I found these beauties and I was instantly intrigued – because they were cheap. I decided to give it a try after reading a Reddit post about some cool stuff from this store. Why not?

I thought sheet masking everyday was slightly silly from my point of view. I mean, even the lower-end ones cost around Php 50 – 60 so sheet masking daily could cost you 600 bucks in ten days. And besides, wouldn’t it be just additional effort? But since this mask right here is so cheap, I wanted to test it out just to see how it’s like to sheet mask everyday and also to test if this can be a great alternative or fall back when one runs out of masks.

So my first impression with the masks were:

How am I gonna get one out without taking out all of them? OMG so thin sheet! So thin essence!!!

The mask was slightly larger than my face so it took a couple of minutes of adjusting, folding here and there to get the right fit – and then i still have wrinkles from the edges. After putting it on and leaving it for around 20 minutes, I took it off, folded it, and wiped it all over my face, my neck down to my collarbones. Then I massaged and patted dry the remaining essence on my face.

What I liked about it was that it really made my face feel plumper. As in visibly. My skin was so bouncy and I liked touching it. Also, the essence was quick-drying which was a definite plus for me. It didn’t smell anything bad, but it didn’t smell anything especially nice either so scent-wise it was ‘meh’. But for the price, I think it was a great deal! it definitely moisturized my skin really well.

Some not-so-nice stuff about it was that, there were a couple of days when I was just pretty tired and got home later than usual, and had to wake up early the next day so I was feeling pretty lazy about applying the mask. I did it anyway to justify the testing period, but I still think that sheet-masking daily requires more effort than I have expected so now I decided to only do it around twice a week. Moreover, I had some difficulty in getting a single mask from the whole bunch without them getting out also. The sheet was a lot thinner than the usual mask (but I guess it was to be expected) as well as the essence.

So finally, after a 7-day trial period, I can say that this mask is definitely worth more than what you pay for. As seen from the ingredients list, I was actually surprised that snail secretion filtrate was around near the top of the list which seemed too nice for anything that costs Php 88. As a quick Google search will tell you, snails have been one of the major breakthroughs in Korean beauty R&D as it is known to hydrate and plump up the skin. It also has other goodies such as extracts from tea leaves, collagen of course and sodium hyaluronate among others. Every time I use it, my face feels nice to touch and was visibly plumper, although the effects only last until the next morning (I sheet mask at night). YMMV though 🙂

Would I recommend it?
