Sephora Aloe Face MaskS is for Sephora My Thoughts:SpoilerI decided to tear into one of my SEPHORA masks in honor of this months (very difficult) letters theme. This Aloe one was the only one from SEPHORA currently stashed in my beauty fridge, so what better time than now to use it? On first impressions, I noticed the smell... to me, this mask gives off a bit of a "nail polish remover" scent. Which is super strange for a mask and I don't remember having this kind of issue with any other Sephora mask I've tried. It does subside after a while, but straight out of the packet this is what I noticed. The material is a durable but thin cotton, without much "give" (ie. flexibility/elasticity). The saturation is what I would call "standard"-not soaking wet like some masks I've tried before, but also not lacking in serum. I used the leftover serum on my décolleté area and the sides of my face that the face mask missed (more on that coming up). The fit of this mask is honestly not the best, it does not cover the entirety of my cheeks and the mouth hole is tiny-which is unfortunately standard for me with Sephoras sheet masks. The wear time I got out of this is ~25 minutes before it began feeling a bit dry on my face and I decided to call it a day. Overall, I enjoyed my masking experience because the mask did feel nice on my face during wear but nothing too amazing, exciting or revolutionary. Very "standard" to be quite honest. I noticed that unlike some other sheet masks, this mask does not leave much "tack" behind after removal. It does leave behind more of what I would describe to be a moisturized, "wet feel". This is a mask thats aimed at "quenching and replenishing" which I assume is reparative and also hydrating. After removal, I felt that it did a very decent job at moisturizing my face and I liked the results. Despite that, I really did not enjoy the scent that came off of this mask as well as the fit of this mask. Maybe I've been spoiled by some of the other masks I've ventured into lately but I personally will not be repurchasing this mask. SEPHORA face masks are on the pricey side, I know many people might disagree because they are only $5/mask (and I've purchased way more expensive masks than that). However, $5 per mask is quite a bit when I can get a 5-pack of Facetory masks for $10 or a 3-pack of The Creme Shop masks for $10, both brands that I absolutely adore when it comes to their sheet masks (and ones I find to be way better than my SEPHORA masks, in general). There's even better masks that SEPHORA carries with scents I actually enjoy and that provide more quality results.
