My mum purchased a box of these facial sheet masks during her last trip to Taiwan and I have been using it once a week, whenever I visit her.
This is a 3D mask, meaning you have flaps that hook up to the ears - one from the face and one from the jaws. However, the flaps are pretty short as well as being small, so it was a brief struggle to have it pull up to hook it behind the ears. Perhaps it was meant to be this way, to give a proper lift. Perhaps I have a too large face and too tiny ears. Still, I never really like 3D masks. Period.

The material is thick and as described above, it is imprinted with grids ( soft and slightly quilted feel ), supposingly to give a lifted effect. With an artifical scent which I do not quite fancied, it is totally soaked with essence and provides much moisture to the skin. It brightens up the face too.

Despite all the benefits claimed, I may not be able to reap all of them significantly since I only use it once a week. But I do not see a visible improvement in my skin, other than the hydrating and brightening abilities, which I can also derive from My Beauty Diary masks with better lasting results.
