SHEET MASK | Pure Aura Karma Glitter and Cosmic Shimmer Hologram Foil Mask

 

Purchased by me

It's NYE and it seemed only fitting that I feature these two Pure Aura Hologram Foil Masks to fit in with our festive mood! Firstly, how is it the end of 2023 already? I feel like the last two months went by both quickly and slowly and here we are on the cusp of 2024! As this is my last #SheetMaskSunday post of 2023, I feel like it is only fitting to say that this year was probably one of my worst in terms of being regular about posting. I mean, just look at how many posts I have for December versus other months. It's pretty telling that I've just had other things happening in my life that have sucked the life out of me doing much else. I feel like something happens around the Fall where it's just hard for me to keep up. Maybe it's the weather and the fact that it gets dark so early. Whatever it is, I hope I can kick it at some point and get some of my mojo back!  

What makes this mask special? I actually had to look at the ingredients lists pretty closely to distinguish between the two masks only to discover that THEY ARE IDENTICAL. The ingredients are quite lovely though featuring soothing cica and chamomile and brightening licorice root and white tea extract. The only difference between the two masks is the pattern of hologram funness!

In terms of mask fit, foil masks are generally stiffer because of the material so it really is best if they come in two parts which these masks do! This made the fit quite snug and the overlap on the cheeks ensured that the mask stayed put on my face. Both masks also have the charcoal lining on the back for detoxification purposes.

Mask Summary:

Price: $6 CDN

What it does: Moisturizes, revitalizes and detoxifies

Scent: Floral

Essence Type: Thick, viscous and clear

Duration: 30 minutes

Thickness: Average for a foil mask

Mask Fit: Good because it is in two parts

Tackiness: VERY tacky - my sleeping eye mask was uncomfortably stuck to my face all night

Hydration: As tacky as my skin felt, my skin did look REALLY good. Bright and ready to take on the world!

Other notes: N/A

This foil pattern was very cool-looking and much more "fish scaly" than other foil masks I have seen! It was very fun to look at myself in the mirror while I wore this! As you can see, it also fit my face extremely well!

Mask Summary:

Price: $6 CDN

What it does: Moisturizes, revitalizes and detoxifies

Scent: Floral

Essence Type: Thick, viscous and clear

Duration: 30 minutes

Thickness: Average for a foil mask

Mask Fit: Good because it is in two parts

Tackiness: In anticipation of tackiness, I applied this mask at around 8:30pm giving my skin PLENTY of time to absorb everything which was helpful!

Hydration: Very good with skin looking bright and refreshed upon mask removal.

Other notes: N/A

Final verdict: I would get these masks again for sure! I know now to give these guys a solid couple of hours to absorb, but once they do, my skin did look bright and refreshed! I also like that these masks had some fun with the foil pattern so make the whole sheet mask process more entertaining.

I found these masks at Urban Outfitters, but I have also seen them at various online retailers!
