Face Q Grape Seed and Green Tea Sheet Mask

This box of various sheet masks from Face Q was purchased a while back.  And just recently I've realized that it will expire by the end of this year.  So I opened the box and tried my first sheet mask from them.

I purchased this box from sasa.com.  I don't remember how much I got this box but I believe it was cheaper than the My Beauty Diary sheet masks.  This box came with 10 sheet masks.









They are: 
2 Grape Seed + Green Tea Mask 
2 Luffa +Adlay Mask
2 Red Pomegranate Co Q10 Mask
2 Ocean + Aloe Mask Marine Collagen Mask 
1 Caviar and Hyaluronic Acid Moisture Mask
1 Peony Snow Lotus and Sake Yeast Whitening Mask

I love how sheet mask has a cute cartoon and a colorful packaging.












The first mask I tried was the Grape Seed & Green Tea sheet mask.  





Once opened I noticed it's very similar the My Beauty Diary sheet masks.  

The description: 
Face Q Grape Seed + Green Tea Mask with a unique micro-emulsion technology turns nourishment into micro-emulsion particles that are smaller and easier to penetrate into the skin, improving moisture replenishment. Mask is made from 100% wood pulp with silk, it fit your facial contour perfectly, rapidly infiltrate moisture for the skin, after use your skin with become supple with natural radiance.
Formulated with all natural botanical extracts, grape seeds contain powerful proanthocyanidins antioxidant, can prevent the skin from oxidation damage, thus lose luster and flexibility. Grape seed also has synergistic effect with collagen and elastin, making skin a shiny and flexible, and prevent premature wrinkles and skin spots.


The sheet mask has a plastic lining.  The thin mask was tough enough that it didn't rip when I used it.  I remember reading from other bloggers that some complained that these mask ripped too easily.  Well it didn't happen to me.  There's also extra serum inside the packing.  I couldn't detect any scent to this particular mask.  So I believe this mask is unscented.  I left this mask on for 30 minutes and afterwards my face was smooth and moisturized.  I liked it.  The next day I noticed that my face did have some red blotches around my cheeks.  I'm not sure if it's related to this product or if it's some other new face product that I had tried out that day.  Since I have so much more left I will try these mask again and will let me know if these masks are irritating my skin or not.  

Over all I find these Face Q mask very similar to the My Beauty Diary masks.  Only difference is that I didn't find a scent and the price is cheaper.  Again, I will check back with you guys and let you know if this mask still continue to irritate my skin or not.  (I have combination skin)








Let me know what you all think of these Face Q sheet masks or this particular Grape Seed & Green Tea sheet mask.
