SHEET MASK | eyeNLip Beauty Moisture Essence Hyaluronic Acid and Charcoal Masks

Press samples

How can it be August already? Even though my schedule doesn't really change much in the summer compared to let's say a teacher, I definitely still feel the slowdown of summer. There is MUCH less traffic in the mornings and my 35 min commute becomes 20. People in general are in no rush for things and maybe it's the sunny weather that puts people in a good mood, but everyone is generally quite pleasant which is ALWAYS nice in the world of retail. 

Once more coming from the now defunct Beauteque Box mask subscription, is yet another Korean brand I had not heard of called eyeNlip Beauty. They are cruelty-free and also carry a number of other skincare and makeup products. What caught my attention with these masks was the VERY pretty floral packaging! There are eight other sheet masks in this Moisture Essence series, two of which I will share with you today and possibly the other eight in the future!

What makes this mask special? Hyaluronic acid is the hero ingredient here and is found at the start of the ingredients list with a specified concentration of 125mg which sounds like a lot, but I really don't know! I'd like to believe this is a good thing!

I was not too impressed when I tried on the mask as there were wrinkles everywhere! I just could not smooth them out as the sheet mask fabric felt a bit "artificial" and almost too silky feeling. I believe this is what made it hard for the mask to adhere to my skin.

Mask Summary:

Price: $2 CDN

What it does: Moisturize and soften skin

Scent: Super powdery. Reminded me of an old Asian auntie. Did not like!

Essence Type: Clear, viscous

Duration: 20 minutes

Thickness: Thin/medium

Mask Fit: Not the best. I found the fabric did not want to cling to my skin or lie flat despite there being plenty of serum.

Tackiness: None

Hydration: It's quite nice actually! Skin feels plump and smooth.

Other notes: N/A

What makes this mask special? This essence contains 25mg of charcoal extract (is that a lot??) as well as other fun plant ingredients like carrot, cabbage, blueberry, aloe vera, evening primrose and eggplant extract just to name a few! This sounds more like a weird salad than skincare, but that's sort of what I like about seeing what brands put into their formulations!

I was totally expecting this mask to fit just as poorly as the previous one, but I was VERY wrong! Look how beautifully it clings to the skin and how smooth it sits!

Mask Summary:

Price: $2 CDN

What it does: Tightens skin and controls excess sebum

Scent: Soapy and waaaaay more pleasant than the Hyaluronic Acid mask.

Essence Type: Clear, viscous

Duration: 20 minutes

Thickness: Thin/medium

Mask Fit: MUCH better than the previous mask! I mean wow!
Tackiness: None

Hydration: It's quite nice actually! Skin feels plump and smooth.

Other notes: N/A

Final verdict: If the Charcoal one had fit just like the Hyaluronic Acid one, I would not be interested in trying more from eyeNlip, but after finding a Canadian retailer for this brand and seeing that they are only $2 each, I would like to try more later on in the year when I have gone through my stash!
