REVIEW: WISH BOX (NO. 20) MASK BOX 2

Many people have complimented me for having (almost) flawless skin, but all I can say, is that you can't be lazy if you want beautiful skin! I absolutely love masks, especially face sheet masks, and I can use them every night (no kidding)! I've purchased so many face sheet masks before, and I've also bought the Memebox Mask Editions 3, 4, & 5, so as soon as I saw that Wishtrend was also selling a Masks Box, I just had to buy it too!!!




This Wishbox retails for USD27.76, but it's on sale, so I paid USD18.99 for it. There were 10 masks inside, and I knew what I was getting beforehand, so it wasn't a surprise or anything.

I was slightly disappointed to see no "box" that held my masks together (I was expecting something pretty like a Memebox box), but instead, my masks were placed inside a cheaply packaged bubble wrap with the words Wishbox printed on it!

Anyhow, here's what I think of the masks inside...

1) Brilliant Lip Care 2 Step (Gel Patch)



The recommended time for leaving this mask on was 15 minutes. The lip gel patch comes in a plastic container with two plastic pieces on both sides of the patch. When I removed the plastic pieces, I was able to smell a sweet berry scent from the patch. The patch was quite big in size, so it fit onto my lips quite well, and it didn't come off even when I was walking around! After I removed the mask, there was still some essence left on my lips, and my lips felt very soft, but slightly dry!

2) Brilliant Sparkling Powder A & B



This is actually a cleansing water, where CO2 bubbles are created when you blend the sparkling powders with water, and the bubbles will penetrate deep into your skin to remove all pore-clogging junk and blackheads. There is no scent in both the powders. The instructions say to dip your face in and out of the water continuously for 3-5 minutes; however, I found it too difficult, troublesome, and tiring to hold my breath and dip my face into the water continuously for so long; I dipped my head into the water a few times before I gave up doing so. When I dried my face, I realised my face was quite dry and it felt quite tight. I did not find it to remove any blackheads on my nose at all.

3) ElishaCoy Aloe & Lavender Mask



The recommended time for leaving this mask on was 10-15 minutes, which is slightly shorter than most other masks. It wasn't dripping with essence, but it had enough to last me 20 minutes. It has a faint scent, but it wasn't overwhelming. It didn't have many slits, so it didn't cover my face too well, and like many other masks, it couldn't cover the sides of my nose - the really bad thing about this mask was that it couldn't cover the sides of my nose AT ALL!! There was no essence left after I removed the mask, and my face felt slightly sticky afterwards.

4) ElishaCoy Natural Pearl Mask



The recommended time for leaving this mask on was 10-15 minutes. It wasn't soaked wet in essence, but it had enough to last me 20 minutes, before it started drying up. It has a faint sweet scent, but it wasn't overwhelming. It didn't have many slits, so it didn't cover my face too well, leaving a few air bubbles in the mask, and no matter how hard I tried, it just wouldn't stick to the space between my eyebrows. Like many other masks, it couldn't fit the sides of my nose either. After I removed the mask, I massaged in the remaining essence (only a bit left) on my face, and my face felt soft and silky - it didn't leave a sticky feeling, so that was pretty good.

5) ENCA Acne Control Mask



The recommended time for leaving this mask on was 15-20 minutes. This is a 2-piece mask, where one piece would cover the top half of the face, and the other piece would cover the bottom half of the face. The mask was not soaked wet in essence, but it covered the face very well, and it even covered the sides of my nose! It doesn't have much of a scent, so it's great for sensitive skin too! After I removed the mask, I massaged the remaining essence into my skin (there wasn't a lot left anyway), and I realised that the pimple (that I had squeezed just before putting the mask on) was less red and had gone down a bit. An hour later,  my face felt kind of powdery, and it was not too dry.

6) Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Mask



The mask was soaked completely in essence when I took it out of the packet. It has a faint scent which was acceptable. As I was using an eye mask underneath, I cut out the bits for the eyes, and placed them on the sides of my nose instead! The only thing I would complain about is the part for the nose - it wasn't even enough to cover the tip of my nose properly! After I removed the mask, there was still a lot of essence left on my face, but after massaging in the essence, my face felt very moisturised, and my face wasn't sticky at all!

7) ONL Saladit Avocado Juice Mask



The mask was soaked in essence when I took it out of its packet, and there was a faint scent to it. It fit on my face very well, and it was even able to cover my jaw bones, as well as under my chin! But like most other face masks, it didn't cover my nose entirely! After I removed the mask, I massaged the remaining essence (there was quite a bit) into my face, and my face felt very refreshed afterwards - it didn't leave a sticky feeling, so that's a bonus!

8) ONL Saladit Pumpkin Juice Mask



The mask was soaked in essence when I took it out of its packet, and there was a sweet scent to it. It fit on my face very well, and it was even able to cover my jaw bones, as well as under my chin! But like most other face masks, it didn't cover my nose entirely! After I removed the mask, I massaged the remaining essence (there was quite a bit) into my face, and my face felt very refreshed afterwards - it didn't leave a sticky feeling, so that's a bonus!

9) Skin Factory Collagen Ampoule Mask



The recommended time for leaving this mask on was 30 minutes, and the packaging actually has English instructions on it - it tells you to cut along the first dotted line to access the essence, in which you apply to your face, and if there's extra, you can apply it to your neck, arms, legs, etc, and believe me, there is really enough essence to apply onto your whole body! The mask is slightly fragranced, but it's not too overwhelming. The mask fits on my face very well, and it covered most of my nose too, though I still cut out the parts for eyes (because I was also using an eye mask) and placed them on the sides of my nose. After I removed the mask, I massaged the remaining essence into my face (there was a lot of essence), and my face felt very moisturised and pores appeared to be slightly minimised afterwards; however, it did leave quite a sticky feeling on my face (and body), which didn't seem to go go away until 1 and a half hours later!!

10) Wish Formula Panda Eye Mask



The recommended time for leaving this eye mask on was 20-30 minutes. When I opened up the packaging, it had an overwhelming smell of coffee beans! The mask was soaked completely in essence, and the patches looked quite big in size too! The shape of the patches fit perfectly underneath my eyes, and it stuck to my face very well! After removing the mask, I realised that the fine lines under my eyes suddenly appeared to look much fainter, and that my eyes looked less swollen!!

Rating: 10/10

I was pretty pleased about some of the masks inside this "box", and I will even consider purchasing some of them separately! I'm not sure if the masks were really worth the price I paid, but I'm really happy to have bought them, as I love trying out new things!

  1. May I ask a question about your nightly masks? Do you apply them after your usual nightly serum(s)? I've been trying to use masks daily, but have been struggling to find the best time to work them in. Night time would be nice!

    1. I was hoping someone would ask this! Night time is a great time to add masks into your routine, as your face absorbs products better then! Face sheet masks are soaked in essences, so it replaces the use of essence in your skincare routine ~ toner, face sheet mask, serum, eye cream, night cream! If you've done a home facial (using peeling, clay masks etc), then you can use more nutritious masks! Hope that helps! :)

    1. You're welcome! I mainly do unboxings too, because they're so much faster and easier, but I think I'll have to work harder on the reviewing part of things too, because that's the reason why I created this blog in the first place! Thanks for reminding me! :)
