SNP Panda Brightening Mask Sheet

March 26, 2018 / thecorkedreader89 / Leave a comment

It’s been awhile since I’ve given my first impressions of a mask around here but today I’ve got my initial thoughts on the SNP Panda Brightening Mask Sheet for you. I picked up this mask last summer at Ulta but am only now getting a chance to try it out. I don’t know about you but there’s something about a sheet mask with an animal on it that makes me so happy. This mask is supposed to replenish dull skin and even out rough texture, leaving behind smooth and brighter looking skin.

The key ingredients in the SNP Panda Brightening Mask Sheet are: coconut water, paper mulberry, mulberry bark extract and niacinamide. I don’t know why but I was getting a citrusy scent from the mask when I was wearing it. The smell was nice though! Continue reading →

Tony Moly I’m Real Avocado Mask Sheet

November 16, 2017 / thecorkedreader89 / Leave a comment

Winter hit Thunder Bay pretty hard yesterday. It started off raining and then turned into icy/snowy/windy mayhem. I actually thought that my house was going to blow over. All I wanted to do was come home and relax in bed with a nice sheet mask, so that is exactly what I did last night. I’ve had the Tony Moly I’m Real Avocado Mask Sheet in my stash since my trip to Ulta in July so I thought I’d try that one. It is formulated with avocado extract to deliver nutrients deep into the face.

First of all, I found that the Tony Moly I’m Real Avocado Mask Sheet fit SO much better than the last one that I tried. So strange since I bought them both at the same time. Everything aligned perfect on my face and it was very comfortable. I wore it for about 20 minutes. The mask itself did have a tear on it, I’m not sure if it was already torn or if I was too aggressive taking it out of the packaging. This didn’t really affect it’s performance at all though.

BioBelle #Decadence Sheet Mask

November 9, 2017 / thecorkedreader89 / Leave a comment

As you may know, my birthday recently passed, so I thought there was no better time to treat myself to the BioBelle #Decadence Sheet Mask that I purchased on one of my trips to Ulta during the summer. I don’t really eat cupcakes at all so I thought it would be fitting to try the face mask version instead! The BioBelle #Decadence Sheet Mask aims to hydrate and vitalize the skin. The chocolate is high in anti-oxidants which softens the skin and helps hydrate it. The acai berry both helps retain moisture and fights off the line-causing free radicals. Continue reading →

Garnier SkinActive Moisture Bomb Sheet Mask

November 3, 2017 / thecorkedreader89 / 2 Comments

Masks have become a recent staple in my skincare routine, particularly sheet masks. They are quick and simple and make minimal mess. When I was recently sent a few Garnier skincare products to try, I was most excited to try out the Garnier SkinActive Moisture Bomb Sheet Mask. It promises to make your skin softer and more radiant by deeply moisturizing.

The first thing that I noticed about the Garnier SkinActive Moisture Bomb Sheet Mask is that it is by-far the best fitting face mask I have ever tried. It felt like it fit my face like a glove. Since it fit so well it felt comfortable for the entire time it was on my face. I wore this mask for about fifteen minutes. Continue reading →

Sephora Rose Lip Mask

October 25, 2017 / thecorkedreader89 / 4 Comments

Hi guys! My lips have been feeling mega-dried out and scaley lately since apparently the weather has decided to remind us, here in Thunder Bay, that winter is right around the corner. With temperatures suddenly in the minuses my lips felt like they could use a little extra TLC. That’s when I remembered that Sephora had sent me their Rose Lip Mask as part of my invitation package to their opening party in July.

The Sephora Rose Lip Mask is meant for moisturizing and softening which is essentially what my lips were begging for. It claims to, in only fifteen minutes, moisturize, replenish and nourish the lips. The packaging is a bit of a challenge to open and the mask itself almost went flying but, I managed to get it on my lips rather than the floor with some patience and care. Continue reading →

SNP Rabbit Brightening Mask

October 21, 2017 / thecorkedreader89 / 2 Comments

Hi guys! I hauled the SNP Rabbit Brightening Mask Sheet back in July when I went to Ulta and I’ve finally gotten around to using it. It was just so adorable looking I kept saving it but, there is no time like the present to try it out! The mask promises to replenish the skin making it softer and more luminous, as well as hydrate and brighten up an uneven skin tone. To be honest, I mostly chose this mask because it had a rabbit on it but, I wouldn’t say no to brighter skin.

One of the things I really enjoyed about the mask is that it fit my face quite well. Unlike the last sheet mask that I tried, I had no issues with the placement of the eyeholes on the SNP Rabbit Brightening Mask Sheet. Continue reading →

Tony Moly I’m Real Red Wine Mask Sheet

September 13, 2017 / thecorkedreader89 / 6 Comments

Hi guys! It’s been a little bit since I last posted about a face mask but I’ve finally taken some time to relax and put on a face mask so I thought I’d share some of my thoughts with you. This time I have tried the Tony Moly I’m Real Red Wine Mask Sheet. As a lover of red wine, I couldn’t possibly pass up this sheet mask. This mask is formulated with, you guessed it, red wine extract which reduces the appearance of large pores while it both tightens and purifies the skin. Now, as a disclaimer, I did do the Glamglow Supermud Clearing Treatment first to help extract the gunk from my pores, as they needed some serious TLC.

The first thing I noticed about the Tony Moly I’m Real Red Wine Mask Sheet is that it is definitely not cut to fit comfortably on my face. I’m not sure if my face was too large, or if the holes just didn’t align, but something just wasn’t right. As a result, it bunched up in a few areas. This made it kind of awkward feeling to wear for an extended period of time. I wore this mask for about 20-30 minutes. Continue reading →

Sephora Avocado Sheet Mask

August 6, 2017 / thecorkedreader89 / 6 Comments

Hi guys! In my quest to try out more face masks, the next once I’ve tried is the Sephora Avocado Sheet Mask. I received this item complimentary from Sephora as part of an invitation to their local launch party last month. I was pretty excited to see this item was sent as I frequently put it in my cart and then end up taking it out. Does anyone else do that? I’m so indecisive. Anyways, I love avocados so why not put them on my face?

I started off with a clean face (first image) and place it on my face (second image). I left it on for about 15 minute as the packaging suggested. Based on the Sephora website this mask is said to “[Nurture] and [support] healthy skin by offering intense nutrition and relieving sensitive areas.” After removing the mask there was some serum left on my face (third photo), though there wasn’t a ton which leads me to believe my face absorbed most of it. My face did feel slightly sticky for a little while after use. Continue reading →
