I love sheet face masks especially a cat themed one! This mask is feline themed and it contains chamomile, propolis wax, rice bran extract, green tea and botanical root extracts to name a few.

The mask itself fits average, the bottom half of the mask fell short in terms of not reaching my full face and it goes past my chin but doesn't stick under and whilst that is not a problem in itself, the mask is incredibly saturated with its active ingredients.  I had to use a hand towel and prop it on my chest to catch the excess which is a shame, although I could apply to my neck and hands.

Its left on for 15 minutes and then you remove and let dry, no rinsing required.  The result was great I do think it brightened my face and it felt very cool and smooth and enlivened.  It does contain denatured alcohol which is the third ingredient on the list which isn't ideal but it is a one time use product so I wouldn't buy a product now with that as the third ingredient but in a face mask well there is worse things.

Apart from the excessive liquid I recommend this mask but there is much better out there.  I loved this one.

This is my second face mask from the brand, Garnier you can read that review here Garnier Volcanic Clay Rock 3 Minute Mask

Beauty Guru

This is a black sheet mask which fits pretty well on my face with the cut outs for eyes, nose and mouth. The first thing I notice is that it smells like something from childhood, I THINK it's Mercurochrome or something that smells just like it i.e. alcohol.  (Mercurochrome is an anti bacterial liquid that is bright red and our teachers at primary school used to put it on our cuts and scrapes in the playground.)

This mask is left on for fifteen minutes and you are advised to either rub the residue after the mask is removed into your skin or you can rinse it off.  This mask contains some good ingredients and some not great ones too; namely fragrance, alcohol and phenoxyethanol.  It does leave a bright, 'clean' appearance to the skin and it definitely was hydrated, plump and youthful looking.  I would prefer to have the least amount of irritating or damaging ingredients in my skincare and the intense alcohol smell was not comforting to me, despite the cosmetic appearance of my skin looking fresh and plump.

I will not recommend this mask for the damaging ingredients included in this mask.  When you can smell that alcohol in the intensity I did, just is not acceptable.

INGREDIENTS: 

WATER, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, GLYCERIN, PEG-32, PEG-40 HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL, PVM/MA COPOLYMER, SODIUM HYALURONATE, ANANAS SATIVUS FRUIT EXTRACT/PINEAPPLE FRUIT EXTRACT, P-ANISIC ACID, ALCOHOL, PROPANEDIOL, SUCROSE, HYDROGENATED STARCH HYDROLYSATE, HYDROXYACETOPHENONE, HYDROXYETHYLCELLULOSE, CAPRYLOYL SALICYLIC ACID, XANTHAN GUM, FUCUS VESICULOSUS EXTRACT, SODIUM BENZOATE, PHENOXYETHANOL, FRAGRANCE

This was my first time using a bubble mask and was intrigued to see what result and how it would feel on my skin.  I accidentally deleted the photo so had to use a shot from my Instagram upload.

Beauty Guru

You are instructed to first run your fingers across the packaging to release the bubbles.  On opening it is already covered in bubbles ready to foam.  The actual mask is black.  The cut outs for your nose, eyes and mouth are present and well cut and placed.  This mask contains lavender and tea tree oil which become very evident when on the face.  This mask contains charcoal and fruit acids to oxygenate and cleanse.

I found the mask to be pleasant to wear and the lavender and tea tree scents go well with the mask and are not over powering.  Upon removal after 20mins you are left with a film of white product which you are instructed to massage into the skin and it felt really good and left my skin feeling very moisturised and gave a very clean feeling and absorbed quickly.  It left a great canvas for the rest of my night time skin care product regime.

This mask does contain some known irritants namely the lavender, fragrance, orange fruit, lime, lemon  and witch hazel.  If you know that you cannot tolerate those ingredients on your skin then please avoid.  Also you will need to use a sunscreen the next day because of the fruit acids in this mask.  Fruit acids can increase the likelihood of sunburn. Otherwise, I recommend.

Ingredients - Known irritants are highlighted in bold red.

Cleanse + Exfoliate Silk Sheet Facial Mask is the third of the silk sheet masks from the brand Essenzza Health that I have bought and tried.  This contains some great ingredients to assist in skins appearance and overall health.  On opening you can smell a faint pineapple smell which is inoffensive and fades off.  Here is some of the ingredients in this particular mask:

• Aloe Vera
• Hyaluronic Acid
• Ananas Sativa Fruit Extract (Pineapple)
• Citrus Grandis Seed Extract
• Portulaca Oleracea Extract (Anti oxidants from Common Purslane)
• Tremella Fuciformis Extract (Tremella Mushroom - helps skin to retain moisture) 
• Avena Sativa Kernel Extract (Ground oat kernels shell helps soothe skin and moisturise)
• Tranexamic Acid ( A synthetic amino acid that helps the skin to repair itself)

This is a 3 layer sheet mask, so on opening the sachet you pull it out and remove the first shiny layer as per instructions.  Pop it onto your face and finding the eye, nose and mouth areas and then pull off the blue layer.  You then leave it on for 20-30 minutes.

It does not dry completely on your face so do not expect that to occur.  After the allotted time, you then remove it from your face and let the rest of the product absorb into your skin.  I did this mask during the afternoon and after it had absorbed my skin was smooth, plump and soft, so out of the three masks this is another one that I will continue to buy and use, once on a weekly basis alternating between the masks.

I definitely would buy this mask again out of the three that Essenzza Naturals sell.  The other two masks are:

• Moisturise & Smooth Carrot Seed + Coconut
• Anti Ageing & Anti Oxidant Morroccan Argan Oil + Vitamin C

Anti Ageing + Oxidant Silk Sheet Facial Mask is the second of the silk sheet masks from the brand Essenzza Health that I have bought and tried.  This contains some great ingredients to assist in skins appearance and overall health.  On opening you smell the rosewood oil which was lovely!  Here is some of the ingredients in this particular mask:

• Argan Oil
• Rosewood Oil
• Hyaluronic Acid
• Hydrolyzed Collagen
• Vitamin C (Asorbic Acid)
• Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-3

This is a 3 layer sheet mask, so on opening the sachet you pull it out and remove the first shiny layer as per instructions.  Pop it onto your face and finding the eye, nose and mouth areas and then pull off the blue layer.  You then leave it on for 20-30 minutes.

It does not dry completely on your face so do not expect that to occur.  After the allotted time, you then remove it from your face and let the product absorb into your skin over night as I did or during the day.  It does feel wet on the face and when I woke up my face was noticeably softer to the touch which is great for me as I have dry skin and also my skin looked brighter thanks to the Vitamin C.

I definitely would buy this mask again out of the three that Essenzza Health sell.  The other two masks are:

• Moisturise & Smooth Carrot Seed + Coconut
• Cleanse & Exfoliate Citrus + Pineapple Enzyme
