Review: Holika Holika Pure Essence Sheet masks

Anima Jain — Tue, 06 Nov 2018 05:00:36 +0000

I received 4 varients of the Holika Holika sheet mask for review from skin18.com . The varients I received were Lemon, Shea Butter, Rose and Blueberry.

Packaging- I like the packaging of these masks due to their easy open access. What I liked about this packaging was that unlike others they have given a side flap which you just have to pull to open the mask. Which makes it Hella easy and fun to open. It’s simple and bright with the ingredient printed on it.

Fit– simply amazing fit. Love how less lines it had after I put it on unlike most masks. The fit was perfect and I love it.
Material– It’s made of really thin sheet. Which is very comfortable and easy to use but doesn’t tear easily. It adhered well and didn’t slip even when I moved. It’s a mask you can put on and do your chores.
Essence– It was filled to the brim with essence. The mask was dripping in essence. It was sticky and took a lot of time to absorb. After I removed the mask my skin was sticky for a long time so definitely not a mask for the day time. I faced this issue with all the varients. The essence Moisturized my skin well, didn’t break me out at all.

Scent– I couldn’t detect any noticeable fragrance in any of the varients. If you sniff carefully you can catch a whiff of the scent but it’s hardly noticeable otherwise which makes these masks perfect for people with sensitive noses.
Time– I had each mask on for 20 mins
Effect– My skin felt smooth and moisturized. Since the essence was sticky I didn’t like it much. Apart from that these masks were highly Moisturizing. They made my skin soft and smooth. My pores were minimised. I had a glow the next morning. These masks are not for daytime use but work well if used during the night. They are especially perfect for winters.

Overall– 3/5. I like the Moisturizing quality of the masks but dislike the stickiness.
Will u repurchase– Maybe. They have many varients in this range and I’d like to try a few more.

[Candy O Lady] One week candy mask

I started my journey into K-beauty from sheet masks. Sheetmasks are something that I really love and enjoy using. Easy to use sheetmasks are a mini facial in a packet. They provide Hydration, glow, moisture, vitality, pore care, smoothness etc but the main reason I enjoy and love using them is they make me feel pampered. Using a sheet mask at night while watching your favourite show or reading a good book is the most relaxing and amazing feeling ever.
Bling Dear recently started recruiting reviewers to try and review some products featured on their page and I was lucky enough to be selected for this cute masking kit.
This cute kit comes with 7 masks one for each day of the week and they all have different properties.
Packaging- They come in cute small packets with beautiful candy art on them. They are made of thick paper like substance which is really easy to tear open. They are smaller in size as compared to other sheet masks. Vibrant in color this Packaging is really eye catchy.

Fit- The fit of these masks was okay. All of them were a little larger at the chin area and formed a few wrinkles in the sheet near the cheeks.
Material- They are made of a fibre like sheet. Which isn’t thick and is comfortable to wear.
Essence- All of the masks were soaked in essence and the packets were filled with it. They were a little sticky and took a few minutes to absorb. What I found weird was the essence had bubbles in it. It didn’t break me out nor caused any sort of reaction but still the presence of bubbles in the mask Made me feel a little uneasy.
Scent- Another weird thing about them. All of them smelled a little like soap. The lemon varient smelled like lime hand-wash, the honey milk one smelled like honey soap and so on. Though it wasn’t too strong or overpowering, but the fragrance of soap and the presence of bubbles in a mask is not something I can adjust to.
Claims:

Sweet Lemon Candy Mask- Whitening+Emollient+Moisture

HolidayCandy Mask- Sheen+ Nutrition+ Moisture

My experience: One of the things that I enjoy the most is doing 7 days 7 masks. Since this was a 7 day kit I really enjoyed pampering myself for a week. At first I was a bit skeptical because of the soapy smell and the presence of bubbles. But when it didn’t break me I was a little relaxed. The masks worked well and to some extent lived up to their claims. My skin after a week was soft, moisturized, glowing and hydrated. My pores were less visible as well.
Overall: 3/5. While I enjoyed the cute Packaging, the soapy fragrance and the bubbles put me off.
Will I repurchase: Most probably I won’t.
