There’s so many skincare products on the market these days. Which ones should you purchase? There’s one product I’ve found that’s easy to say yes or no to and that’s a sheet mask. The reason why I buy them is because they’re bit of fun and perfect for pampering. They’re not used on a daily basis and what I want is a hit of hydration and to make my face ‘look’ and feel better on a temporary basis. I’m confident most people buy these for the same reasons as me. I bought Beauty Laundrette’s Radiate & Glow Sheet Mask from Superdrug last year when it was half price. This usually costs £3.00.
Why did I buy this?
The range was new to me at the time and consisted of bath, body and a bit of skincare. So I decided to buy bits from all of these areas. They were on promotion so great price, I liked the product description and each piece looked appealing, including this sheet mask.
What is this supposed to do?
This sheet mask is designed to hydrate, smooth the skin and give it an overall better, radiant appearance.
Packaging
Like most sheet masks this comes in a a packet. What I love about how this looks is it’s fun! It’s pale pink with red detailing and the front looks like a washing machine. It stands out, it’s different and ties in perfectly with the brand.
How to use
Unfold mask, place it onto the skin and leave on for 15 minutes. Pat serum into skin that remains or wipe off with a cotton pad.
Fragrance
I expected this mask to smell like the other products I’ve used from Beauty Laundrette. The body mist, bath fizzer and body wash all had the same scent. This doesn’t. This mask definitely has a floral fragrance to it. It reminds me a little of cherry blossom but a little more plant like rather than flower, if that makes sense? It smells really nice.
In Use
When I took this sheet mask out of it’s packet, I have to say this literally was DRIPPING in serum/solution! I left a physical trial of it as I opened it in one room and then dashed to another to apply it. It was soaking in solution, exceptionally moist and wet. It wasn’t too hard to unfold this. The shape and look of this is quite typical of sheet masks.
When I put this onto my face it clung to it with ease. No wonder with it being so wet! The mask sat on my face very comfortably and the moisture was an absolute joy to experience. Very cooling and relaxing.
I did worry the fragrance would be too much. Despite the fact I actually like it, any fragrance sat on the face for a while can be a turn off. I had no issue with this but a fragrance free version would be a hit in my opinion.
Skin afterwards
Taking this off I was surprised how much serum was still on my face. There was a lot! And I was happy about this! I patted as much as I could into my skin while drawing some of it down to my neck and left the rest to sink in. My skin felt incredibly moisturised. Not caked in a heavy solution but there was an obvious layer of something on my skin. Touching my skin it did feel tacky but what would you expect with so much serum/solution left behind?
Did my skin look massively ‘radiant’? It looked shiny! Healthy..possibly? NOT dry but well moisturised! This wasn’t sinking in quickly after application so left it to go to bed.
The morning after the night before
My skin looked and felt rested, very smooth when touched. It still felt hydrated but not in the ‘covered with a layer of serum’ way it did when this was applied. Totally matt and ready for the day ahead.
Recommended?
Yes! This is standard price for sheet masks so not costly, and this range are regularly on a promotion in Superdrug (so even better!). So there’s no issue with cost. Packaging is super cute and the mask itself is crazily hydrated and nice to wear and use. I wouldn’t recommend this if your skin has issues with fragrance or you don’t like the feeling of a layer on your skin (although you could remove the excess as suggested). But I would buy Beauty Laundrette’s Radiate & Glow Sheet Mask again in a heartbeat, especially during a heatwave!
