PinkSeoul December 2018 Review
Prior to purchasing a subscription, PinkSeoul will ask you several customization questions. Some products are more appropriate/recommended for a particular skin type so be sure to figure out what your skin type is!
Here is the info sheet for the month.
JM Solution Glow Luminous Flower Rose Firming Mask – Retail Value $3 (currently sold out)
This sheet mask is made with rose water, lavender extract, calendula extract, and hyaluronic acid. It is incredibly soothing and hydrating, and it had a light rose scent I found to be really pleasant. Once I was done wearing it, there was a bit of essence left on my skin that absorbed quickly once I rubbed it in. This was a great mask that my skin enjoyed.
Tony Moly Intense Care Syn-Ake Eye Mask – Retail Value $4, Listed Value $5
I love eye masks, so I have become a bit of an eye mask connoisseur. These masks weren’t up to snuff for me- they kept sliding down my face so I could only wear them while laying down. They were cooling and non-irritating, but I wouldn’t purchase these if I needed an eye mask (that honor goes to the new milk makeup cooling eye patches, which have seriously become my holy grail product!).
WellDerma Aquaring Soothing Smart Mask – Estimated Value $1.68 (buy a box of 10 for $16.88), Listed Value $4
This is a hydrating sheet mask made with shea butter that added a nice boost of moisture when my skin was feeling dry. For the price, it’s a great mask.
Dr. Jart+ Dermask Water Jet Soothing Hydra Solution – Retail Value $6
I love Dr. Jart+, so I am stoked to see it in this box. This is another hydrating mask that targets dryness, redness, and blemishes. One thing was a bit weird was how big this sheet mask was- I have a big face, but this was still bigger than my face. If you have a small face I would skip this from a comfort standpoint. This has aloe and plant extracts, but I wasn’t impressed with alcohol being pretty high on the ingredients list. This didn’t irritate my skin and it did seem hydrated after using, but I wouldn’t seek this out to use again.
J.Estina Jewel Essential Sheet Mask in Jade – Estimated Value $4
J.Estina Jewel Essential Sheet Mask in Sapphire – Estimated Value $4
The packaging alone on these masks have me in love with them. This sheet mask was thin and fit my face really well, and it came with a plastic backing that made it easy to unfold. The jade mask contains jade powder, vitamin B5, and green tea, while the sapphire mask contains sapphire powder along with daffodil extract and hyaluronic acid.
The Saem Natural-Tox Carrot Sheet Mask – Retail Value $1.50 (found on sale here for $1), Listed Value $3 (currently sold out)
The Saem Natural-Tox Green Grape Sheet Mask –Retail Value $1.50 (found on sale here for $1), Listed Value $3
These are a great low-cost sheet mask that features extracts from the fruit or vegetable they feature. The masks themselves are made of a thicker material, and I thought the eye holes were a bit small. Other than that, this was an enjoyable 20 minutes!
A’Pieu My Skin-Fit Rose Sheet Mask – Retail Value $3
A’Pieu My Skin-Fit Quinoa Sheet Mask – Retail Value $3
I have liked every A’Pieu sheet mask that I have tried, and that trend continues with these two. These fit my face incredibly well, the rose version had a light, pleasant rose scent, and I was happy with how the essence rubbed into my skin after using. Two thumbs up for this one!
Seantree Steam Cream – Estimated Value $6.20 (buy it in a set of 3 for $18.60), Listed Value $10
This hydrating cream is made with macadamia seed oil, melted shea butter, and olive fruit oil. This had a lovely texture that absorbed quickly into my skin and left it feeling soft, and it would be great to use as a sleeping pack at night for extra moisture.
The Verdict: I love my Pink Seoul mask subscription! While this is on the pricier end for sheet mask subscriptions, I appreciate that high-quality masks are always sent along with one non-mask product. The value on this month felt a little lower than usual, with my estimated total value coming in at $40.88. I also did note a few discrepancies between the listed value and the price I could find online. Since these masks are coming from Korea, I think the pricing isn’t as standardized as buying beauty products from American-based companies. All of that aside, I thought this was another solid month.
