The Face Shop - Pearl - Essential Mask Sheet

Now that the weather is warmer...I'm starting to use more of my sheet masks. I finally tried my first 'The Face Shop' sheet mask. I'm not sure the exact name of it but the package says Essential Mask Sheet, Pearl.

I've purchased this mask a while back in New York. I believe this cost me $2.

From The Face Shop website this mask is suppose to do:

1) Instant brightening & illuminating

2) Pearl is well known for it's amazing skin brightening function: brings an instant glow to the skin

3) Great for dull/pigmented skin

And like all sheet masks the instructions are all pretty much the same. 

This particular one says:

1) pull out sheet mask

2) unfold and place it on face

3) remove after 15-20 minutes and let it absorb into skin. 

One important step I think they left out is that you should always clean and tone skin before using sheet masks. 

So what's my impressions of this sheet mask?

I don't like it and I won't re-buy. 

First thing that hit me when opening the packet was the smell. OMG!!  It was soo strong. It was very heavily perfumed. Some kind of floral scent. It made me feel a little nauseous while using it. So if you're someone who's sensitive to smell you need to stay away from this sheet mask. 

The mask was also very thick. This usually doesn't bother me but for this particular mask it didn't stick to my face very well. Is it because of the material the used?  The sheet mask was pretty large so for people out there that has a larger facer like me than you don't have to worry it not fitting. 

There's not enough essence in one mask. This might also be the reason why it didn't stick to my face that well. 

I left the mask on for 15 minutes. Once the mask was removed I tried to message the essence into my skin. I noticed the mask left a very sticky film on my face. I waited for it to dry a little more and the film still remained. I do not like this feeling. Also there's no instant brightening or moisturizing effect. 

I was glad I did purchase this one mask to try. It wasn't worth the $2 but at lease I know not to buy again or to buy it in bulk. There's a couple more The Face Shop mask i still have in my stash. Hopefully those would be a huge disappointment like this one. 

What are some of your favorite sheets masks?  Let me know. I would love to continue to try more.
