[Disclaimer: This mask was sent to me for review purposes. However, all opinions are of my own and not purposely written more positive/more negative because the product was sent to me.]
mySecretive.sg sent me one more set of masks, and this blogpost is all about the Lovemore FROM Taiwan Masks.
I was sent four different varieties, each targeting a certain improvement you want your skin to have:
- Wine Yeast Whitening Mask
- Loofah & Aloe Vera Hydrating Mask
- Pearl Barley & Milk Smoothing Mask
- Mountain Tea Polyphenols Moisturizing Mask
At first I thought this mask was going to be the normal kind of masks which everyone is already familiar to and hence more difficult to pinpoint its brilliance and downfalls.
I thought wrong.
Let's start with the Wine Yeast Whitening Mask. This mask is good for:
- whitening effect
- youthful complexion
The Loofah & Aloe Vera Hydrating Mask is good for:
- giving your skin a boost of deep hydration
- repairing and refining your skin texture
The
Pearl barley & Milk Smoothing Mask is good for:
- getting that baby-soft skin
- whitening effect
- firming and smoothing properties
The
Mountain Tea Polyphenols Moisturizing Mask is good for:
- keeping your skin moist all day long
- anti-oxidizing effects
- diminishing visible pores
The first mask that I decided to try was the
Mountain Tea Polyphenols Moisturizing Mask simply because I was extremely attracted to its anti-oxidizing properties claim.
When I opened the mask, I was quite shocked to see the blue tint. I thought wow, this was going to be a completely different mask!
But actually, the blue sheet acts as a protection to the extremely delicate mask and also as an applicator so that you won't risk tearing the mask during application.
So here's how you use this mask:
- Remove it from the packaging.
- Making sure that the blue side is attached to the actual mask, apply the duo mask side first.
- After adjusting the position of your mask, remove the blue sheet
- Voila! You have applied the delicate mask on your face successfully (I hope haha)!
Mask design: The mask itself is made out of this really filmsy and delicate material. It felt like as if it's going to tear with the slightest force applied on it. Hence, I really liked the idea of the blue sheet as a helping hand.
Application: It gets quite tricky because I have never used a mask this way before, but after I removed the blue sheet, it was quite certain that the blue sheet is there for a reason, and not just for some gimmick purpose. Do use a light hand when you are adjusting though because it tears quite easily.
Fragrance: This has an extremely soothing smell. Nothing too strong, but its presence is there. I actually liked the smell a lot!
Does it deliver what it promised? Yes, and no.
Yes, because I can really feel my skin choking up with hydration goodness and I don't know if my eyes were playing tricks on me or not, but the pores near my nose area were visibly reduced in size! Perhaps it was a momentary thing, but it was an extremely welcome after-effect.
No, because well you can't really judge a mask's anti-oxidizing properties just through one application, can you?
My mantra with masks will be to not expect too much after one application. Mask sheets like these are great for moisturizing and anti-dull properties, but anti-aging/anti-oxidizing/anti-blemishes properties require multiple applications.
In all, it's a unique mask that delivers, so everyone should try it! :)
