Note: Sorry for not having any pictures for this review...I accidentally deleted the pictures TT_TT But I still wanted to share this review, so here it is.
I bought this because I desperately needed a whitening mask after getting really tan from waiting for THE Jang Geun Suk. Usually I avoid whitening products because of the harsh chemicals, but the shade of my BB cream was slightly light after the tan (will review soon!). Doing a mask is the quickest solution to prevent awkward ghost moments. Nature Republic was having a sale, so I stormed in, expecting the masks to be on sale too. Unfortunately they weren't, so I picked up the cheapest one, which was this. Now on to the actual review....
The first thing I noticed when I opened the folded mask is that it's really, really thin. Other masks I've used are as thick as heavy card-stock paper, whereas this one is as thin as film paper. Then I tried to put the mask on and realized that the holes where your eyes, nose, and mouth are supposed to go didn't fit the respective parts at all. The piece between your nose and mouth was very thin and the eye holes were small and droopy like panda eyes. Also, the side slits of the mask around the frame of your face are not long enough. Hence the mask sagged around my jaw and couldn't stay on my face.
As for the brightening effects, there was none as far as I could tell. The mask also had minimal moisturizing effects. I even left the mask on longer than the recommended 10-15 minutes. Verdict? Sometimes the price is too good to be true.
Don't like:
- Thinness of mask
- Bad cutting of mask
- No brightening or moisturizing effect
- Price (Only 1,000 won, so about $1)
- Made of natural ingredients
