Last night, i finally wore one of my masks and it was Etude House's Tea Tree! alphabet mask sheet :D I chose to try out this one first because i was having terrible acne problems and i thought this one seemed like the best that could help with it.
What the mask sheet looks like .
The back, where its got instructions and explanations on how to use and what this mask is for. Lots of Korean, im fine with it since i do understand some Korean but there is the bit of English you need and some pictures for those who are unfamiliar with masks.

Soon as I opened the packet, i saw lots of product/essence in it.. This part of it pleased me. I love me some lots of extra stuff <3 Because of this (the fact that it has a good amount of product) the mask sticks well to my face, but still not as well as some other masks i've tried like Dermal's or The Face Shop's face masks. Of course, if i walk around it doesn't just fall straight off my face but i do feel it ever so slowly slipping down bit by bit and that makes me anxious wearing it. Guess still, no one would ever wear it while walking around long enough for it to completely slip full from their face anyway, so thats alright. Plus, I do prefer to lie in bed and relax or play with my phone while wearing these masks, so a mask that doesn't stick too well ain't bother me much :) Therefore to round up this part of the mask, it is neither a pro or a con for me. But you guys can judge this by yourself, wether its alright with you or not ~
The size of this mask is perfect for my face size,in which i have a normal sized round shaped face. As usual, there definitely are a few bubbles created by uneven placement that i had to flatten but like I said, its usual so no biggie. I found a con here though! :( At least for me.. the holes provided for the eye and mouth area are kinda big for me. I had to squish some areas of the mask together to make those holes smaller. Most people i think, probably won't mind it but since i'm a *sigh* perfectionist, in which i hate anything being even the slightest bit messy soo >,<
As for the smell of this mask, it doesn't have such a special or amazing smell.. Just the typical soap(?) -ish natural smell most not very scented masks smell like. I could go just about alright with this since its better than really really strong chemical fragranced products ~
While wearing the mask, it gave me a very minty cold and refreshing feeling on my face that i totally loved ^^ ❤️ I took the mask off after about 20 minutes when it feels like its already completely dried up. I gently rubbed any remains of essence on my face to be absorbed, then i attempted to dab on the extra essence thats in the mask's pouch onto my face as i've always loved to do, but shamefully i got quite too excited at the look of much more product that I accidentally spilled some 😂 As if to proove that there is just so much more of the essence , there was like a little puddle on my floor because of the spill. No joke! Yeah, it was just a really lil puddle but still amazing enough to show that the extra product could actually be enough to form a teeny puddle 😁 Next time, i surely won't waste again!
As for the effects of this mask, the after feeling was nice. It left my skin feeling hydrated,moisturized, softer and cleaner once everything has been really absorbed. There was a slight stickiness left but its very light and bearable for me. I did not have to wash my face after wearing this mask, unlike a few other masks have made me due to uncomfortableness :(
Waking up the next day, i found that all my pimples from before are all smaller and almost gone! Great! Buuuuut, reaching half of the day.. new pimples appeared! :'( My face is really acne prone though and it does get pimples a lot so i don't think its the masks fault at all, but still i was expecting the mask to at least help with my acne problem for one full day T.T
Summing my experience up, this mask works good and does just as it claims. But it doesn't help long enough at all for my skin type.
Pros :
-Lots of product
-Perfect size
-Gives a really fresh feeling while wearing
-Does as claimed
Cons :
-Tea tree is not one of the main ingredient though that's the masks supposed priority
-Holes for the eyes and mouth are too big
-Helps with skin trouble only right after wearing and a few hours later
And that is that ;) Please be reminded that i am not sponsored and everything here is only based on personal opinion. Everyone else must have their own unless they have the exact thinking as me! (Which would be kinda awesome lol sorry , out of topic) Please forgive me if i made any mistakes in this review and feel free to correct me in any way if you feel like it :)
Have a great day! ~~
