FaceTory Lux Plus Box is a quarterly box from K-Beauty sheet mask subscription, FaceTory! The Lux Plus box contains 10-12 items that will include sheet masks along with skincare such as serums, toners, eye creams, as well as hair care, and more! It runs $49.95/box with free shipping and has a new curation by the FaceTory team every season. I just love their super cute packaging and info booklet design too!

They also offer the 7 Lux Box ($19.90 per month + free U.S. shipping) which includes seven curated sheet masks with slightly higher-functioning ingredients, like hydrogels and other more sophisticated ingredients.

FaceTory Lux Plus Box Fall 2020 Review

 

FaceTory Lux Plus Box includes a little booklet full of info about each included item and mask. This is an excellent guide for learning more about the ingredients inside each formula and the correct way to use them.

 

FaceTory Moon Velvet Sleeping Mask, 50 mL - Retail Value $24.95 (currently on sale for $19.95)

I know a lot of boxes make their own brand products and we all have a lot of 'meh' feelings on that, but FaceTory is the exception. Everything I have tried from this brand has been awesome. Seriously, never worry about seeing a FaceTory-brand formula in your box. This sleep mask has quickly become one of my favorites. It smells like lavender (and, heads up, has lavender oil in it if that's a deal-breaker for you!), absorbs beautifully, and makes my skin look SO good in the morning. I like to apply a thick layer before bed and let it work its magic while I sleep. Inside is a whole party of great stuff, like shea, niacinamide, panthenol, allantoin, adenosine, and a whole host of botanical extracts full of antioxidants. It is the cutest pale blue color and comes with a little scooping spoon too! There is some alcohol here, but it is decently down the ingredient list and my dry skin couldn't tell if that helps!

 

Round Lab 1025 Dokdo Toner, 200 mL - Retail Value $15.00

I love a toner, though I prefer one with a mist nozzle. That is really my only complaint here, and it's a small one! This toner is nice and refreshing and it has ingredients inside that would benefit anyone. Glycerine locks in moisture, panthenol and allantoin soothe, and seaweed extract soothes as well. This is also a great option for anyone out there who prefers a fragrance-free ingredient list.

 

The Beautiful Factr Probiotics Ampoule, 40 mL - Retail Value $35.00

This ampoule was love at first sight. The ingredient list is truly popping with all of my favorite things! Ceramides, niacinamide, cica, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, OH MY. Get on my face. This ampoule is perfect for using in the "serum" step of your routine, aka after cleansing and toning, but before moisturizing. It has a gel sort of texture that didn't completely absorb into my face right away. I recommend waiting a few minutes before topping off with a cream for the best results. I am excited to try this out in combination with the night sleep mask during the winter months.

 

Farmskin Superfood for Skin Avocado Hand Cream, 75 mL - Retail Value $8.00

I received the Blueberry version of this cream in my September FaceTory 7 Luxe delivery and loved it, so I knew I would enjoy this. What I didn't expect was how much MORE I would like this avocado version! It smells incredible! Think creamy and sweet, but also fresh. Not really avocado-like, but that's ok. It also feels so soothing on my dry hands. This tube is currently living in my purse so I can always have it close by.

 

YNM Konad Petit Leaf Lotion, 300 mL - Retail Value $36.00 (currently sold out)

This is the cutest lotion I have ever seen in my entire life. Everything about it is adorable, from the faceted snowball shape of the bottle to the pink pump, and the included elastic puff! The formula itself is also very nice. It's a medium weight lotion that would feel great on hands, arms, or legs and it even has some glutamic acid inside to help with fine lines. The scent is a fresh and clean blend of citrus and basil. SO CUTE.

 

Beauty of Joseon Centella Asiatica Calming Mask – Retail Value $2.50

This mask was also in the September FaceTory 7 Luxe delivery! Here are my thoughts:

Yessssss! Give me all the cica! My redness-prone skin loved this stuff. This mask was pretty straightforward and though it lacked any bells or whistles I found it very cooling and hydrating. And, of course, redness-reducing! This clear serum also had artemisia, another boon for red or ruddy skin. I liked that this serum absorbed easily and left me without any filminess.

 

LalaChuu Soothing Essential Mask White Truffle – Retail Value $6.00

This mask was also in the September FaceTory 7 Luxe delivery! Here are my thoughts:

I keep running notes on these masks as I review them because it would just be too much to remember with so many masks. My notes for this one mention this mask smelled like garden dirt and fruit loops, which apparently was a good thing because I then added 3 thumbs up emojis. I mean, it does sound like a scent I would be into... ANYWAYS, this mask was hard to apply because it was SO thin. It was also prone to stretching as I tried to apply it which wasn’t great since the strip between the nose and mouth holes was already thin. Aside from these minor complaints, I loved this mask. The truffle extract paired with loads of hyaluronic acid left my skin looking dewy and smooth!

 

Round Lab Birch Juice Hydrating Mask - Retail Value $3.00

What a nice mask this was. It was straightforward and simple, with ingredients like hyaluronic acid to moisturize and birch sap to calm inflammation. If you are prone to redness and dryness, this is pretty much perfect.

 

ESW Beauty Deep Detox - Retail Value $3.00

With my drier skin, I tend to be careful when it comes to detox masks, but since I have been extra congested lately, I gave this one a try! Inside is a potent combo of charcoal and lemon, both of which work together to loosen built-up sebum and tighten pores. I am happy to report that this mask was actually pretty gentle and when I went in for some extractions after wearing this, they did seem to be much easier to manipulate with my extractor.

 

Ultru I’m Sorry for My Skin Calendula Revitalizing Mask – Retail Value $3.50 (currently sold out)

This mask was also in the September FaceTory 7 Luxe delivery! Here are my thoughts:

This was another cute mask. The material was embedded with yellow petals. It was a mask that still fit well and was drenched in a clear serum with a calming floral scent. This was one of those that feels a lot more relaxing than some others and was very hydrating when I removed it.

 

HaruHaru Honey Green Reparative Mask - Retail Value $3.00 (currently sold out)

This mask had a thicker material to it, but it still fit remarkably well. I loved the earthy scent and found the clear serum to be cooling and calming to my skin. It has fermented green tea which is such an ideal source of antioxidants as well as being great for aging as well as acne. You can't lose with green tea!

Verdict: My FaceTory Lux Plus Box is always a joy to unbox and use. I try out so many different beauty products and Korean skincare never ceases to impress me. Pair that with a typically super affordable price tag and you have skincare heaven. I am so impressed with the sleep mask and ampoule that arrived in this box as well as with the toner and lotions. Winners all around. Per usual, the masks were also top-notch and so good that I never care when there are repeats with my 7 Luxe box. This box had an overall value of $139.95, which is fantastic for a $49.95 box.

I love natural/vegan beauty products, Korean skincare, unique jewelry, and weird candies from far away places. When I am not waiting for my next exciting box you can find me painting or taking photographs of interesting people. I never leave home without pug hair somewhere on my shirt and a bold lipstick on my smile.

Is this box not being reviewed on MSA anymore?

If anyone’s interested, I just asked Facetory CS by email & they said they still have limited amount of Lux Plus Fall 2020 Box (not the Welcome box).
Worth trying in case they still have some left, but ask CS first to confirm.

This was a great box. I haven’t use everything yet. Loved that YSM lotion. That bottle and smell so adorable. I am glad it’s sold out so I don’t grab another one.

Do you think the Winter box will have a MSA coupon code? I am subscribed to the monthly box but I see more value in the seasonal one!

MSA20 or Facetory20 from earlier this year still works until now. But not sure if it’s for new subscriber only. Perhaps it will still works until winter? Or they might have Black Friday deal later 😀

Thank you! The Facetory20 ended up working for me and brought it down to $39.96!

I agree, Factory’s house brand is excellent quality. Their sheet masks are great, and often go on sale for $2.

Thank you for commenting on house brands. I started skipping this box because I have seen more and more Facetory brands in their box but sounds like I should give them a try. I’ll be on the look out for winter spoilers than!

totally! I know we all have strong feelings on these sorts of things. But Facetory is totally an exception.

Definitely give it a shot. Every single Facetory brand item I have received is great, especially that night mask and their eye cream.
