Sheet Mask Shenanigans: Tony Moly I'm Real Sheet Mask - Rose (Vitalizing)

Hello all! Recently, when I saw that Tony Moly was releasing the first round of new masks (Rose and Cactus) on their USA account, via Instagram stories, I was poised, ready to try them. As always, my local ULTA was slow was asses and only got them much after the fact. I suspect this may the same for the other newer masks (that tea one, charcoal, honey, peach, etc), that are seemingly currently a macys.com only "exclusive" or from Tony Moly USA's website.

By sheer luck, I spotted a couple of the Rose masks (no cactus....) and bought one for $3.75. A bit pricey.....but that means it's time for a review!

tony moly i'm real sheet mask - rose (vitalizing)🌹

This rose "flavour" is designed to give moisture and energy back to tired skin, with rose and pearl extracts. I didn't expect much difference between this and the other regular I'm Real mask flavours, as for me, any moisture seems to do the trick for my desert dry skin!

A good manufacture date (2017.05.08):

Tearing open the packet reveals the stock standard cotton sheet, as like the other masks of the I"m Real line. The mask is of a medium thickness: not as thicc as Holika Holika Juicy masks but certainly not thin like a silk mask, a la MBD or My Scheming masks, and has enough essence to drench the mask sheet with little extra essence.

The back of the mask packet recommends 20 to 30 mins but I left this mask on, shy of 15 mins. After, my face did feel soft but probably only because: a) I did my routine and b) I sheetmasked. It wasn't because I used a particular mask; my face just got hydrated.

I posted on my Instagram (as seen below) of my first impression thoughts. Basically, while I saw a boost in hydration, this particular Rose mask didn't offer anything outstanding that any other mask couldn't.  Once is definitely ok, but anything more seems foolish.

The fit was pretty average but I usually don't complain (I'm not Asian so these masks aren't targeted towards my non-Asian face shape, and that's a-ok!). The chin area though usually sags on me, so I have to regularly smooth that area down, to keep the mask on my face better. 

Also masks never usually fit over my nose bridge unless it's a two-piece mask (ya girl is Lazy™..... otherwise I'd cut regular masks....but.....effort....and sanitation.....)
