Ipsy sent me this sheet mask in March. I used to think that you couldn’t mess up a sheet mask, but they’ve proven me wrong in the past. Let’s take a look at the claims and packaging first.
There is 27 mL of serum in this mask. I’m not sure if that’s comparatively a lot because that’s not a number I’ve paid attention to in the past, but this mask is JUICY. Like be careful opening it, juicy. I nearly shot some in my eye.
The ingredients
- Eco-friendly lyocell sheet certified by OEKO-TEX
I did some googling, and as best as I can tell, this certification just means that there weren’t crazy chemicals used in the production process. I was hoping for the sheet to be extra biodegradable or to use less water in the production process, but nah. It’s just a regular woodpulp fabric. I assumed that they’re Standard 100 certified instead of Made In Green. The Made In Green certification is supposed to give me a tracking code with my product that lets me look into the production process. There isn’t one. I’d be into that. - Camellia sinesis leaf water
It’s tea. It’s just tea. Can you imagine being this pretentious?
The other ingredients are pretty normal: some botanical extracts, some typical skin stuff. I did learn that people use arginine for erectile dysfunction. So that’s now in my brain forever.
- Glucose
This is normal for skincare, I’m just mad there’s not more of it in the mask because I got some in my mouth. It tastes AWFUL.
How did I get it in my mouth, you ask? This is the worst fitting mask I have ever used.
Just LOOK at how tiny the mouth hole is. It’s really hard to not accidentally eat some of the serum.
As far as the serum formulation, it was a pretty okay mask. I would have preferred that it didn’t smell like lavender, but my skin felt hydrated after I used it. The packaging and actual sheet are just awful, though.
I’m also really cranky that they want to tout an eco-friendly process when there’s an entire extra plastic sheet in there.
I’ll just throw that directly into the ocean.
We can do better than this.

Great review! I love Ipsy but their sheet masks have been more misses than hits unfortunately

I think 27ml is quite a lot considering that a regular bottle of serum is usually 30ml. Maybe they meant 2.7ml?
That mask was ill-fitting but I’ve seen worse lol
Do you have any idea how much it costs?
Love xx

It’s not 2.7. I worked in metric for a while and doubt that much would saturate the mask. None of my other sheet masks say how much serum they have, so I still don’t know how much above average 27 mL is, haha. Their website puts it at $6 right now.

Thank you! I think I’ve got some second day waterproof mascara on in these pictures. It looks like they’ve still got some curl in them here.
