Review | Yes To Coconut Hydrate & Restore Mask

Sadly I don't have a picture of my own to use for this, as I threw the packets away ):

I bought these on a whim while at Target one day because I was looking for some new sheet masks to try. My skin has been feeling some kind of damaged after the lengthy dry, windy winter here and I've been desperately hunting for some pick-me-ups for my skin. I've tried a few things in the Yes To line that I've liked, though of course not everything has been perfect.

I should've read the reviews before buying this, honestly. I bought two, one for me and one for my best friend to try. He immediately took his off because it started burning. I only felt an extremely mild sensation that I wasn't sure how to deal with, so I left it on for five minutes. I read some reviews after this experience, and he wasn't the only one. A great many of the people who have tried this have experienced some mild to intense burning and even swelling/redness.

It didn't burn me, but my face was sticky after I took it off, and the smell is actually a bit nauseating. It's a very fake coconut scent that's a bit too sweet, almost like sunscreen. It didn't do anything noticeable for my skin, and honestly the construction of the mask is kind of wonky too. It didn't stick to my face, especially my chin area. I practically had to hold it on myself. I've never had this problem with sheet masks before.

I definitely would not buy this again, and would not recommend it to anyone. I'm kind of hesitant to try any of their other sheet masks, too. I'll just read the reviews first next time!

Innisfree Sheet Masks | Review

Hello again! I have another little review for you, and this time I'm doing sheet masks. I bought a bulk packet of Innisfree sheet masks from Amazon in December, as I got a gift card for Christmas and decided to use it on these. Innisfree is a Korean beauty brand, and I'm actually dying to try some of their makeup products. But, for now, I've got some of their sheet masks! The set included 15 masks, all formulated for moisturizing and hydrating the skin, and it was about $20. Not bad at all, I'd say! As you can see, I also got a few sample packets of other products (the Liole product in the blue packet was like heaven for my skin!! I adore it!)

I only use about one a week, on my "pamper days" where I really treat my skin. Since moving to New York, my regular moisturizer just isn't cutting it in the dry, cold air, so it's really been suffering. After getting these masks (my mom had to mail them up to me), my skin has been feeling sooo much better. They are truly SO moisturizing, hydrating, and just generally amazing and everything you want in a sheet mask. 

They have masks such as 'blackberry,' 'aloe,' 'strawberry,' and many others, and I'm honestly so excited to try each one. I'm wearing one right now as I type up this review! 

I'm wearing the bamboo mask, which I brought with me for my Georgia visit: 

It's extremely cooling as well. I leave it on for ~20 minutes, and then take it off and just pat the remaining product into my skin. I don't even apply moisturizer after - there's no need, though you can if you like for some added hydration.

Basically, if you have dry & dull skin like me, give sheet masks a try. It doesn't necessarily have to be innisfree, but I am so impressed with them! Definitely buying them again when I run out.

Now for a silly picture of me wearing the mask.
