Hello! I was recently sent 3 sheet masks from THEFACESHOP to review. I have very little experience with sheet masks so I was really excited to try these out! I have used Balea mud masks and also a mini sample of Glam Glow, but never a sheet mask. I also do not know much about THEFACESHOP as a brand, so this was another reason why I was excited to try them out!
Just a few thoughts about the brand before getting into the reviews. I started to see THEFACESHOP popping up in malls for awhile now, but I have not really had a chance to explore. I know that they are trying to bring Asian beauty trends to the North American market which is interesting! I never really got on the Asian beauty bandwagon so it’s exciting to see. A work colleague gifted me the CUTEST hand cream from THEFACESHOP which I love. Their face masks I think are what they are really known for though. Without further ado, here are my thoughts on these 3 face masks.
1. Real Nature Mask Mung Bean
Price: $2 CAD
Description on THEFACESHOP website:
The Mungo Bean Real Nature Face Mask leaves skin clear and radiant. In just a couple of minutes, it helps eliminate impurities that clog your pores, to leave your skin dazzling.
The first thing I noticed when applying this mask was the pleasant smell. It was not overwhelming at all, and gave a nice spa-like experience while wearing it. Application was pretty easy, but I was a bit worried because I got some of the serum in my eyes. It mentions on the package to avoid contact with your eyes, but I couldn’t really avoid it. I’m happy to report that I experienced no eye discomfort which was great (but I definitely wouldn’t recommend it!). This mask felt SO amazing on. It was a cooling experience which I loved. After a long 8+ hour day of volunteering, this was exactly what my face needed. One thing I’d like to note though is that after I removed the mask I felt the serum did not completely sink in. I would say if you are using this mask, I would suggest putting it on and removing right before bed so the serum can be used similar to a night cream.
2. Hydro Gel Mask Sheet Vita C
Price: $3 CAD
Description on THEFACESHOP website:
This vitamin C gel mask revives skin’s natural radiance and tonus. Enriched with blood orange extract, it gives you a feeling of freshness and hydration in a couple of minutes.
What I found most interesting about this mask was that it was divided into two sections. The first half was for your nose up and then the second section was for your nose down. I found this made it very easy to apply the face mask as I wasn’t balancing and lining up the entire thing. What I also noticed was that the mask’s 2 portions were protected in another plastic covering. I think this was great because it kept more of the serum in the mask. This mask was a bit different from the other 2 in that it wasn’t a fabric sheet, but had more a plastic feel to it. After removal my skin felt clean, fresh and bright. What I liked about this compared to the Mung Bean one was that the serum soaked up into my skin very quickly!
3. Real Nature Mask Lemon
Price: $2 CAD
Description from THEFACESHOP website:
This mask illuminates your skin and gives you a flawless complexion! Enriched with lemon extract with brightening properties, it will even out your complexion in an instant!
I used this after going for a run for the first time in forever. It’s been pretty hot and humid lately, so I was tired after my run. Using this was very pleasant. This mask was similar to the Mung Bean one other than the scent. It was a fresh lemon scent, but nothing too over bearing. Like the Mung Bean one, I noticed that it left a bit of a residue on my face. So again, I would say it might be best to use this one at night and then wash your face in the morning.
Final Verdict
I would definitely repurchase these sheet masks in the future. I don’t believe you should really go into these thinking that you’ll get long terms skin results. I think these are great for a pick me up or a mini spa night. I feel like mud masks can provide better results, but they can be messy and a bit of a hassle to remove (I always miss one spot when removing and have to re-wash…). When looking up THEFACESHOP’s sheet masks, I saw on instagram that they have animal face printed masks. So you can look like a tiger while wearing your face mask. 😮 Amazing. I hope they have them in Canada because I’m determined to find some!
Thanks for reading, hope you are having a great day!
