SKINCARE | TULA Limited Edition INSTA BRIGHT Energizing and Brightening Sheet Mask

I wanted my 100th sheet mask to be EPIC which meant that it was most certainly going to be holographic and though I had been looking at a couple of different brands, when Shayna from A Pop of Colour alerted me to the new INSTA BRIGHT Energizing and Brightening Sheet Mask from probiotic skincare line TULA, I knew I had found my 100th mask. After using TULA products over the last couple of months (a review of their Pro Glycolic Resurfacing 10% pH Resurfacing Gel Toner is coming!) with positive results, I knew that good things were about to happen with this probiotic blend of Lactococcus Ferment Lysate, fermented birch water, hyaluronic acid and lemon extract. I was ready to experience THE GLOW!

This 10 minute mask claims to hydrate, even out skintone, reduce redness and bring radiance and life to the skin. The limited edition INSTA BRIGHT masks come in a pack of four for $35 CDN and are also found in a number of TULA's holiday kits if you would like to use the masks in conjunction with other probiotic skincare products.

As you can tell from the holographic packaging, you know this mask is going to be epic and epic it was!

The mask itself is a HOLOGRAPHIC sheet mask similar in feel to other foil masks I have reviewed, but with a better fit as the INSTA BRIGHT sheet was slightly thinner and more flexible.

When I first opened the packet, I was greeted with one of my most favourite scents - lavender oil! It immediately relaxes me and is the first mask I have used that truly smells like it. The sheet itself was so awesomely holo with a good fit especially around the nose. There was also quite a bit of essence left so the pro-tip I have learned, especially for masks like this that are not cotton, is to cut off the corner of the packet and squeeze out the essence onto your palm and apply to skin so it acts a bit like a "primer" for the mask to stick to and ensures that all the good stuff is on your skin!

When I posted my mask selfie on Instagram, someone had commented that this mask looked like mermaid scales and that is exactly what I was thinking when I first applied the mask! Even hubby said "Oooooh! Sparkly!" when he first saw it! He's always the first one to get a glimpse of my masks because he's usually playing Path of Exile in the office and the bathroom where I put on my masks is across from it.

The mask duration is just 10 minutes which I felt sad about since I felt so glam wearing this mask so it's possible I may have pushed to 15 minutes :-)

Mask Summary:

Scent: Lavender
Duration: 10 minutes
Thickness: Thin for a mask that isn't just cotton
Mask Fit: Good
Tackiness: Medium
Hydration: Very good!

Final verdict: What I liked about this mask the most were the results that were achieved with clean ingredients compared to other Asian sheet masks I have used. The brightening and hydrating results of this TULA mask were most comparable to the Jayjun Cosmetic Baby Pure Shining Mask, but with better ingredients. Costwise, the TULA one is double the price, but clean beauty products tend to be this way. This mask was also made in Korea which explains why the fit was fairly good and I am glad that this mask was "more than just a pretty face"! If we focus just on results, the holo aspect was probably unnecessary, but we all know that sheet masks now are extra fun when skin is both entertained and revitalized. I would actually really love to stock up on these masks since these are limited edition and ones that I would use again, but I'm stocked up on TULA skincare right now so I'm thinking of potential holiday gifts that I can add to my cart!
