Did you know that the SEPHORA Collection is the CBB Brand of the Month? I used to have my doubts about house brands until President's Choice and the SEPHORA Collection. I have discovered some legit products within Sephora's house brand so when sheet masks arrived I obviously had to pick up eight LOL, but for today I will share three of the ones that seemed the most interesting to me and probably anyone who is a skincare lover!
Purchased by me
The Rose Face Mask focuses on Moisturizing and Brightening and features a plant-derived second skin-like fiber mask for close adhesion to the skin. If you like the smell of roses, you will like this mask, but keep in mind that there is a higher concentration of fragrance and preservative than actual rose extract so the essence in this mask isn't really doing as much as you would like it to do.
What I DO like about all of Sephora's sheet masks is this little tab so you don't have to spend time trying to find the edge of the mask! This little tab sticks out so you know EXACTLY where to start peeling!
Ingredients: Water, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Betain, 1,2-Hexanediol, Hydroxyacetophenone, Saccharide Isomerate, Xanthan Gum, 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Glycosyl Trehalose, Parfum (Fragrance), Phosphatidylcholine, Phenoxyethanol, Rosa Gallica Flower Extract, Polysorbate 80, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Potassium Sorbate, Rosa Damascena Flower Extract, Prunus Persica (Peach) Flower Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate, Sodium Benzoate, Sorbic Acid, Rosa Damascena Flower Oil
Mask Summary:
Scent: Roses
Duration: 15 minutes
Thickness: Medium
Mask Fit: A little wrinkly at the chin, but not bad
Tackiness: Very light
Hydration: Decent, but not as hydrating as other masks I have tried with better ingredients.
Verdict: Out of the three that I have tried so far, the Rose Face Mask fit the best with the fewest wrinkles around my chin, but I didn't notice any significant results upon removal.
The Coconut Face Mask was the first Sephora sheet mask I tried and focuses on nourishing and soothing the skin. The comments regarding ingredient positions are pretty much the same as the Rose Face Mask, but at least the soothing quinoa extract is in the top half of the list and comes BEFORE the fragrance. The coconut aspect which is REALLY the main selling feature of the mask is really around the middle to the end of the list so not bad either.
Ingredients: Water, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Betaine, Mannitol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Hydroxyacetophenone, Saccharide Isomerate, Xanthan Gum, Ammonium Glycyrrhizate, Chenopodium Quinoa Seed Extract, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Parfum (Fragrance), Caffeine, Zinc Gluconate, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Fruit Extract, Phenoxyethanol, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Citric Acid, Aesculus Hippocastanum (Horse Chestnut) Seed Extract, Sodium Citrate, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Gardenia Tahitensis Flower, Tocopherol
Mask Summary:
Scent: Faint artificial coconut
Duration: 15 minutes
Thickness: Medium
Mask Fit: Wrinkly
Tackiness: None
Hydration: Medium. Needed moisturizer!
Verdict: This was probably the worst mask out of the three here because it seemed to fit poorly and my skin didn't feel hydrated after use. Though I usually apply moisturizer after masking, it's more like a "nice to have" as opposed to "I need moisture NOW!" so unfortunately, this face mask will not be a repurchase.
The Pineapple Face Mask was all about pore perfecting and smoothing which normally isn't the kind of mask I go for, but I love pineapple anything and had to give it a go especially since it was the middle of summer and it seemed like a refreshing mask option. Same comments as above when it comes to ingredients with fragrance being higher up on the list than the featured pineapple extract and honestly, I didn't notice a whole lot of difference in my skin though the pineappple should refine the skin surface a little bit.
Ingredients: Water, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Betaine, 1,2-Hexanediol, Hydroxyacetophenone, Xanthan Gum, Glycosyl Trehalose, Sodium Polyglutamate, Sodium Polyglutamate Crosspolymer, Phosphatidylcholine, Parfum (Fragrance), Phenoxyethanol, Polysorbate 80, Ananas Sativus (Pineapple) Fruit Extract, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Ubiquinone, Tocopheryl Acetate, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Citric Acid
Mask Summary:
Scent: Pineapple
Duration: 15 minutes
Thickness: Medium
Mask Fit: Wrinkly, but better than Coconut Face Mask.
Tackiness: None
Hydration: Good
Verdict: Out of the three, this is the only one I would consider repurchasing because the hydration and fit were the best. In the grand scheme of all sheet masks in the world, I probably wouldn't repurchase any!
