what are the best sheet masks?

This sheet mask delivered the ultimate hydration my skin needed after being in the sun during the July 4th holiday

Def Top Shelf Material!!!

Allow me to introduce to you Boscia's Tsubaki Oil Deep Hydration Hydrogel Mask. 

During the July 4th Holiday weekend my skin needed major hydration after being in the sun. I decided to rip open this sheet mask to see what it could do for me. What I automatically loved about this mask is that it came in two parts and I feel that's what made it not slip off or around my face. It is quite slimey (as all sheet masks are) after removing it from the packaging and the film that protects the mask, I laid it on top of my face and my skin clung to the sheet like a magnet. The hydrogel mask helps lock in the moisture as my parched  skin drinks it all up.

The mask does make me resemble Leatherface from "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre". YIKES!!!

I think out of all the sheets masks that I have tried, this one has been my favorite and the most comfortable to wear being that it comes in 2 pieces. 

This product provided supreme hydration and it is fragrance free so it didn't irritate my sensitive skin in anyway. It did have a bit of a cooling sensation which I found calming on my skin. The hydrogel mask helps lock in the moisture as the sheet clings to the skin. 

The mask delivers multiple skin benefits with ingredients like cold pressed Tsubaki Oil to deeply moisturize and hydrate while protecting against free radicals and aging as well promote firmness and Hydration. This mask also contains Marine Collagen which has been an ingredient in Japanese skin care for MANY years helps skin retain moisture while keeping it firm yet baby soft as well as Willowherb to calm and reduce inflammation and redness. 

TIP: Place the packet in the fridge for a while and try cleansing your face with warm water and then apply the crisp cool mask. It'll will relax you as it hydrates you. After about 20 minutes, I  slipped the sheets off  and was left with visibly plump, moisturized, baby soft skin. My thirsty, dehydrated face definitely absorbed all that this mask had to offer. It completely revived my skin. 

After my skin was a tad bit sticky but I did follow up with the Tsubaki Glotion (Which I reviewed in my previous post) and it no longer had a tacky residue. My skin was simply glowing for the rest of the day and i kept receiving compliments. 

I wouldn't exactly recommend this to the oily babes out in the world, but this is a product that would do exceptional with Dry, Sensitive and/or Combo skin types. 

You too can have a chance at baby soft skin for $8 a pop at Sephora stores, Sephora.com and Boscia.com. 

Too Cool For School Egg Cream Mask

By: Amanda V.

Calling all dry skin babes, Supreme hydration in a sheet mask is here! Actually it has been here I'm just a little late to the party. First of all I love any and all packaging by super adorable Korean brand TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL (their mascara has a dinosaur scribbled on it. A DINOSAUR! I LOVE). Not only is the packaging Cute AF but the product inside DELIVERS!!! YES!!! It's a win/win here. I decided to take this mask to work with me to get me to relax a bit during one of my vey rare breaks. This mask claims to clarify and remove dead skin cells and and moisturize and firm your skin to look youthful, fresh and... GLOWY!!! (100 points for Radiance)

I excitedly ripped open the package and was ready to slap it on my cleansed face. The mask has a net protecting it from ripping I assume. It's pretty... uhh... gooey? There is so much excess serum in the packet but that's nothing to complain about because HELLO! More nutrients for your skin. With the mask on my face i could feel my severely parches skin soak up the product. The mask kept slipping off and I don't think it was because of the slippery goop of "egg cream" making the mask slide off but because I couldn't stop laughing at how horrendously ridiculous I looked with it on. It gave me a good laugh. The texture of the egg cream serum is so silky. I left it on for about 20 minutes (do not go beyond that time limit, it will do the opposite of hydrating your skin, yikes!) and the redness on my cheeks seemed to have calmed down and i was left with a fresh, deeply hydrated, lit from within glow and silky smooth skin. For those super hot NYC Summer days you can stick these in the fridge for a little chill, pampering session. This mask is good for just about every skin type there is, even for you oily babes, it will leave your skin MOISTURIZED, not oily. the egg white nutrients reduces shine and gives more of a radiance to the skin rather minus the greasy look. This Egg Cream mask is cruelty free and free of harmful chemicals, also super safe for sensitive skin, no irritation occurred with this sheet mask which normally can happen to me with most sheet masks.

I heard many complain about the price $6 for a single sheet and $24 for a 5 Pack, which I personally think is an incredible price point and it does exactly as it claims. I'd rather spend $6 on a chance for glowing skin than a frilly frap at Starbucks. For $6 at your local Sephora or Sephora.com, you can kiss your dry patches good bye and say "Hello Lover" to Intensely hydrated, radiant, deeply cleansed, fresh skin.
