Let's Go #GlowSetter! With Mask Time

Thursday, 23 August 2018

During the summer time, you'll want to free your skin a lot more and let it breathe in some of the warm summer air. Sometimes giving your skin a little break from the likes of make up from time to time can help keep it looking clear and fresh and Mask Time is back again with their July Glow Setter box this summer. The masks in this box aim to deeply cleanse, firm and help you get your summer glow on. I was generously gifted this box by Mask Time to let you guys know what comes in this mask packed box. So let's get on with it!

 
One thing I have to say about Mask Time is that their boxes are always so neatly and gorgeously packaged. A lot of care is definitely shown in how everything is presented! Their signature box is opened and you're shown their own personalised tissue paper gently hugging the masks and sealed. 

As always with Mask Time's boxes, you are given a little information booklet. Inside this, you're given all the information you need about every single mask. Whether it's the benefits of some of the key ingredients, if there are also any alternative methods of application compared to the usual 15-20 minutes that most masks require. This is especially handy for those unable to read Korean, or like myself, can read Korean but aren't fluent enough to fully grasp all of the instructions without some help. 

This makes deciding which mask to use each day to get the most benefits out of them a whole lot easier rather than grabbing one randomly.


What's even more impressive is the fact that there are 10 masks in total in the box! Which is one of the largest amounts I've seen in a subscription type box, at least within the UK. One of the masks that comes in the 


1. FG BEAUTY - Stewardess Mask Pack Business Class
2. NO:HJ - 24K Gold Mask Pack Super Collagen
3. DOUBLE & ZERO - Double Effect Foot Peeling Mask
4. FRIENVITA - Aqua Sponge Ampoule Pack / Sensitive

It may be surprising if you don't know me well, but out of this four I'm most excited to try out the foot peeling mask! I'm someone who gets a lot of enjoyment out of peeling things. I was that kid in art class that used to cover their hands in PVA glue just to peel it off. So I'm most anticipating using said mask to see how much of it peels off my feet and how they look and feel afterwards. I've always wanted to try this type of mask but just never found myself getting round to getting one. 


1. NO:HJ - Deep Cleansing Bubble Mask
2. 77 Days - Intensive Moisture Gloss Mask
3. SEINE K-II - Moisturise to Shine Mask

There are two multi-step masks here. I've only seen a few of them but they seem to be ideal for taking away with you while travelling as you don't need to take a whole heap of products with you. I've also not yet used a bubbling sheet mask, so I'm quite interested in all three of these masks in all honesty.


Now onto our slightly larger masks given in the box!

1. LINDSAY - Seok Go Contouring Mask Gold
2. ENTIA - Essence Gel Modelling Pack - Lifting/Hydrating
3. URBAN DOLLKISS - Urban City Carbonated Bubble Gold Clay Mask

So the first two are masks that you mix different components together to make the mask before applying. I've had one or two with a similar concept but I'm still very intrigued in using them. And we have the viral bubble mask type here too. I've actually tried this out after I took the photos for this post and loved it! 

I think one of the best things about this box is that all the brands featured are lesser known and ones that I have yet to actually use before. So this is giving me new experiences of new brands that lets me discover more to go and purchase masks from. 


You can buy the July Glow Setter box from Mask Time for £29.95. If you're new to sheet masks and just want a little taste for some masks to try out, you can also buy the Glow Starter set for £12.95 which contains 5 masks instead. These both include free shipping if you are based in Mainland UK. Considering the overall RRP for this box is £64.97, I think £29.95 for this box is a fantastic deal.

Having received a number of boxes from Mask Time myself (though admittedly they were gifted), I guarantee they are worth trying out even once to add a selection of sheet masks to your selection or you're intimated and not sure exactly where to start when looking through the massive amount that are on the market.

Now, my sheet mask drawer is getting a bit full, time to get some masking done!

Let me know which mask you're most interested in finding out about!

MASK "MONDAY" // Dear Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Sheet Mask

Tuesday, 21 August 2018


Dear Klairs is continually growing as a brand that I'm loving and enjoying. One product I've been eyeing up for the longest time is the Midnight Blue Calming Cream, but it's just something I've not gotten around to picking up yet. Luckily for me, Dear Klairs released a sheet mask version of the product, which lets me have a little try out to see if it's going to be worth spending the cost on the cream. I was sent these by Wishtrend after taking part in their Cruelty Free Week, however, wasn't obliged to review them. This post however does contain an affiliate link. It's also not a Monday as you can see (I missed a day...oops) so we have a Mask Monday/Tuesday here for you guys.

This mask aims to purify and unclog pores with the use of white willow bark extract, which very gently exfoliates the skin to remove excess sebum. Erythritol (an alcohol sugar) which targets the temperature of the skin to cool it down. 

I recently suffered quite a bad hormonal breakout along my chin that was painful as a constant. So this seemed like the perfect time to give the sheet mask a try to see if it could help combat this issue.

I N S T R U C T I O N S

After cleansing, pull out the mask from the pouch and unfold carefully. Evenly place the mask over the entire face, adjust the upper part to the eyes and the lower part to the mouth. After 15-20 minutes, remove the mask and gently pay the remaining essence into the skin. 

Optional: After removing the mask, place the mask onto the neck for a few minutes.

I N G R E D I E N T S
Water, Butylene Glycol, Methylpropanediol, Glycereth-26, 1,2 Hexanediol, Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, Glycerin, Erythritol, Arginine, Carbomer, Carrageenan, Betaine, Allantoin, Ethylhexylglycerin, Propanediol, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer, PVM/MA Copolymer, Disodium EDTA, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Centella Asiatica Extract

S C E N T  &  E S S E N C E

There was a definite scent from the tea tree oil in the mask which is reassuring as it's one of the ingredients I would use if I had a breakout. There was minimal essence remaining in the pouch, which is great as I knew the majority of it was going to remain on the mask itself. It was a relatively thin essence in the mask too, thick enough to cling to cling to the mask and not thin enough so that it just drips everywhere. The cooling effect was nearly immediate and the skin on my face felt cool for a good while after use as well. ideal for when your skin just feels hot and painful when you have a breakout.

F I T  &  M A T E R I A L 

As suggested in the instructions, this sheet mask actually comes in two halves, one upper half and one lower. To me, this makes it a lot easier to make sure the mask actually fits to your face better since not all faces are same length and have features in the same positions. I found the mask fit to my face perfectly with very little adjusting necessary. The mask itself also has bamboo charcoal in the actual material itself, making it soft and comfortable to wear. 

R E S U L T 

After using this mask, my skin felt incredibly smooth to touch and nice and plump. The tightness seemed to have been taken away from the spots that I had on my face too. With the redness being greatly reduced. So the mask has done exactly what it claimed to want to do. I think after using this mask, I would definitely go out and try the actual cream form for any future breakouts but also keep a few of these on hand when I just want my whole face to feel a little bit less hot and sore. 

Where to buy // This can be purchased in a set of 10 or 20 from Wishtrend here.

MASK MONDAY // Dear Packer Jeju Cherry Blossom Mask

Sunday, 29 July 2018



Another Monday, another mask review! I love reviewing sheet masks and getting a collection of what masks worked for me and how they benefited my own skin in a way. It also helps others delve into the chaotic mayhem that is sheet masking and to figure out which ones to try. Today is one from Dear Packer and is part of their Jeju Flower range, containing a selection of 4 different floral essences. This one inparticular is their Cherry Blossom mask, which, as you probably know already is my favourite flower. I received this mask in the #BeMine box from Mask Time earlier this year

C L A I M 
 
Containing cherry blossom extract, this mask aims to brighten and give your skin that 촉촉~ feeling. 

I N S T R U C T I O N S 

After cleansing and toning, apply the mask evenly to the face. Leave on for 15-25 minutes, remove mask and pat the remaining essence into the skin. 

I N G R E D I E N T S

Water, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Niacinamide, 1,2-Hexanediol, Betaine, Trehalose, Prunus Serrulata Flower Extract, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Xanthan Gum, Carbomer, Arginine, Hydroxyacetophenone, Disodium EDTA, Fragrance.

S C E N T  A N D  E S S E N C E 

As expected from a floral mask, this mask has a strong scent of cherry blossoms. It's a little overpowering initially but your nose soon gets used to it. There is a lot of a thin essence in this packet, maybe a little too much. It was dripping all over the place and even after I took the mask off, there was still an amount dripping from it. Not the worst thing in the world, but made it a little bit messy to wear. 

F I T  A N D  M A T E R I A L 

I found this mask to fit reasonably well, however, it was a little small around the eyes so part of the mask was elevated at the outer corner of my eyes. However, it was still comfortable to wear. The material is made out of 100% pure cotton, which makes it super soft to wear. The thickness of the sheet is of an average thickness, if anything it's possibly a little bit thinner. It doesn't slide on the face and adheres to the skin well. 

R E S U L T

I found the mask did as it intended. My rather dull, dehydrated (thank you humidity) skin looked so much more vibrant than it was. I looked dewy and glowy, just overall healthy. My skin felt soft and made me look naturally bright. Despite there being a massive amount of essence in the packet, it didn't leave me feeling greasy after I had patted the product into my skin.

O V E R A L L

This is a mask I would definitely grab a few packets off whenever I get the chance. They're decently affordable and work very effectively. Plus it's cherry blossom themed, of course I want it again!

Have you tried any of the other Dear Packer Jeju Flower masks? What has been your most recent sheet mask you've used?
