There aren't really that many Canadian sheet mask brands out there other than Maskeraide (review) and Viva Organics (review), both of which I have reviewed in the past, but then I realized there was the Shoppers house brand Life!
Growing in Canada, Life is very much like the No Name Brand where some fun discoveries are made especially in the beauty realm of sheet masks! Life actually has quite a number of fun masks that I always pick up during points events when I need just a few dollars to make the qualifying spend since they are so affordable. I thought today's mask would be perfect for summer as it has both eucalyptus and menthol in it AND it had the word "freezing" in its title!

Mask Summary:
Price: $4.99 CDN
What it does: Firming, invigorate, tone and increase luminosity
Scent: Rosemary and mint
Essence Type: Thick, almost gel-like
Duration: 30 minutes
Thickness: Average hydrogel thickness - thin enough to lie fairly flat over curves, but does slide down the face over time.
Mask Fit: I guess same explanation as above!
Tackiness: SOOOO TACKY! I actually had some trouble sleeping because I kept sticking to the pillowcase.
Hydration: It was super intense for what I thought would be a fresh-feeling summer mask!
Other notes: The scent was very different than what I thought it would be, but still smelled very good!
Final verdict: This turned out to be way more hydrating than I expected! I thought that the essence would be one of those that was lighter and absorbed into the skin more quickly, but in actuality this is probably a mask I should have used in the winter! The cooling sensation was definitely nice on the hot summer night I used it and I would pick it up again for use in a drier season!
