For some reason, I initially thought these masks were hydrogels. What I paid seemed reasonable for five hydromasks, but maybe if I had known they were fabric masks I would have thought twice. When I opened them and realised that they were actually made of normal sheet mask material, I definitely felt a little let down. The gold pattern LOOKS cool but I don't believe it provides any other benefit.







To be honest, I wouldn't recommend this over the regular line in the interest of cost and actual benefit. There is currently no genuine scientific evidence to prove that gold has any benefit for skin, which is a shame as that's the driver for the higher price of these masks.

I didn't find this as hydrating as the original line either. My skin definitely was more hydrated and bouncy than before wearing the mask, it just wasn't AS bouncy as it could have been, or really should have been considering the higher price and premium ingredients of this mask.I did like the overall fit of this mask better than the original Bombee - it's slightly smaller, so I have less overlap of the mask going straight onto my hair. I also found that it generally adhered to my face very well with minimal discomfort. While it is a little bit thicker than the original mask, it still feels luxurious to wear.Overall, this gets a 3/5 from me. It's not that it doesn't work, but I don't think the extra ingredients (especially the gold) are worth a higher price point than the original Bombee mask , which I can find for a little cheaper with 10 masks in the box—not five.Have you tried anything from Papa Recipe, or any honey-based skincare?Lexie xx1 - Terrible: Negative effects on skin.2 - Mediocre: No change in skin/claims not met.4 - Good: Would repurchase unless I try something better.5 - Amazing: Meets trifecta of perfect packaging, formula, & cost.
