Hello pretty people!
I know, I know, yet another sheet mask post. I don't know what it is, but I'm addicted and I feel the need to share my sheet mask addiction with you all. These are pretty fresh off the market, and I'm excited to share my thoughts on them, as they are the most unique and some of my favorites to date. The Bon Vivant is a skincare brand that teamed up with Memebox to create three special sheet masks, and let me tell you: they are life. Let's jump into this! (information given is from the Memebox website :))
1. Clarifying & Hydrating Rose
Claims: Damask Rose water is the primary ingredient. It deeply replenishes moisture and nourishes while revitalizing for a brighter and clearer complexion.
Ingredients: Rosa Damascena Flower Water, Glycerin, Methylpropanediol, Trehalose, Sodium Hyaluronate, Betula Platyphylla Japonica Juice, Allantoin, Panthenol, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer , Glyceryl Caprylate, Caprylyl Glycol, Xanthan Gum, Carbomer, Tromethamine , Disodium EDTA, Ethylhexylglycerin, Phenoxyethanol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Fragrance
Going through the list, I pinpointed some ingredients that I like in this mask:
Damask Rose- Vitamin A and C promote a brighter and clearer complexion and the natural estrogen properties restore elasticity and vitality.
Panthenol- Renews skin cells and moisture barrier.
Allantoin- Calms stressed skin.
Birch Sap- Balances water/oil levels in the skin
Hyaluronic Acid- Locks in moisture
Trehalose- prevents moisture loss
Scent: This mask has a light rose scent, which is extremely pleasant for me, as I love anything rose scented.
Texture: The texture is very watery and it feels light on the skin. It also absorbed very quickly into the skin once applied.
My Thoughts: When I first applied it, it felt very tingly on te skin, but eventually it began to feel nice and cooling. It didn't feel very heavy on my skin, and supposedly the sheet mask material is made from rose petal fibers, but either way, the mask fit very nicely on my face. The next day my skin looked pretty darn good and it felt much more hydrated. The night before I had had tiny litttle acne bumps, and there seemed to be less than there was the night before. Overall I really liked this mask, although it did make my skin a little red, but that's why you should always use masks at nighttime anyways.
Rating: 4/5
I would've liked this a little better if not for the slight burning sensation when you first apply it, but I do plan on actually purchasing this mask again in the future.
2. Soothing & Hydrating Aloe
Claims: Deeply replenishes and moisturizes skin and calms sensitive skin as Aloe is the main ingredient.
Ingredients: Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Water, Glycerin, Methylpropanediol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Trehalose, Sodium Hyaluronate, Betula Platyphylla Japonica Juice, Allantoin, Panthenol, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer , Glyceryl Caprylate, Xanthan Gum, Carbomer, Tromethamine , Disodium EDTA, Ethylhexylglycerin, Fragrance
So the ingredients are primarily the same for this formula and really only differ in that Aloe is the first ingredient. The other ingredients that I pointed out earlier also have the same benefits in this mask, but I'll still give you a brief little description of Aloe benefits:
Aloe- High in water content which keeps he skin supple and moisturized. It also soothes stressed out or sensitive skin.
Scent: The scent is a light fresh and clean scent, almost like those natural cleaners you get at the store, but less chemically.
Texture: The consistency is a little thicker and more of a watery essence type compared to the very watery texture of the rose mask, although it still absorbs nicely into the skin.
My Thoughts: Feels good immediately when applied to my skin and it doesn't feel heavy on the skin, similarly to the rose mask, except this one claims to be made of aloe fibers instead of rose. It felt very soothing on my skin and had a slight cooling effect, making my experience very calming and relaxing. The next morning by skin looked less irritated and red, and also seemed to be better moisturized than before.
Overall rating: 5/5
I really really enjoyed this sheet mask as much as the rose one, and even a little more as there was o stinging or slight burning sensation, which is why it maintains an extra point.
3. Pore Tightening & Sebum Control Mint + Tea Tree
Claims: Peppermint leaf water is the main ingredient in this mask and Tea Tree oil is great at alleviating troubled skin and flaking. Together this is great for cooling and tightening pores, while also replenishing and adding moisture to the skin.
Ingredients: Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Leaf Water, Glycerin, Methylpropanediol, Butylene Glycol, Trehalose, Sodium Hyaluronate, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil , Betula Platyphylla Japonica Juice, Allantoin, Panthenol, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer , Glyceryl Caprylate, Xanthan Gum, Carbomer, Tromethamine , Disodium EDTA, Ethylhexylglycerin, Phenoxyethanol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Fragrance
Also this mask has the same basic ingredients and benefits for the skin as the rose and the aloe masks, this one differs only in the peppermint leaf and tea tree, so I'll share a little bit about them:
Peppermint Leaf- Cools and calms troubled skin while tightening enlarged pores.
Tea Tree- Controls Sebum and reduces flaking.
Scent: It smells a little bit like a musky mint scent, so imagine like a B&BW men's mint body spray, and that's the scent (although not as overwhelming).
Texture: The consistency on this mask is the thickest out of the three, with a bit more of a sticky texture that feels more like a serum than anything else, although it still has that slight watery texture that the other ones have.
My Thoughts: This mask is really nice feeling on the skin. You can feel the cooling of the mint and tea tree, which is once again, very relaxing for me. I'm still a little skeptical, but the sheet mask claims to be made from mint leaf fibers, and it feels nice and form fitting to my face. I was a little wary at first because whenever a product claims to help reduce skin flaking, I scoff a little bit. In the colder months, by skin becomes this flake monster, and the dryness is hard to combat, but this mask delivered and the next morning my skin look AH-mazing and flake free.
Overall Rating: 5/5
I love this mask for my combination skin type and love that it takes care of all of my skincare needs as well as there is no tingly sensation that accompanies it.
That's it for todays post! As always leave me any questions or comments you have in the comment section and I'll get back to you asap. I highly highly highly recommend these masks for anyone and everyone to try out, but always keep in mind that what works for me, might not always work for you. Until next time, love y'all!
