This past week has been one of the least fun weeks of my life for many reasons, one of which was being bedridden with a severe case of the flu. Now I know why/how people actually can die from the flu, no joke.
In the haze of a 102-degree fever, I dreamt that I was in a middle of a gnarly Battle-Royale type situation, slashing people and being slashed. When I came to, I glanced at the two things that always make things better: Miss Roxy and my collection of skin care shit.
This was purrrrchased on a whim from oo35mm because it seemed to have serious brayin’ power. Look at the name:
Elizavecca Milky Piggy Silky Creamy Donkey Steam Cream Mask Pack
After looking at the package for ingredients I realized I took a major risk. Nothing was in English except for the directions and the warning. I took a big ass leap of faith based on that donkey milk goodness.
Upon opening I was very disappointed. It’s that DAMN opaque milky creamy serum that leaves a white residue on your face. It’s totally not the clear viscous serums that I’m used to. I just don’t feel that these thick milky serums absorb that well in mask form. It’s like smearing Ponds cream on a cotton sheet then slapping it on your face.
The mask also was semi loose fitting. I wore my trusty silicone mask cover on top to keep the moisture in, but my face started to itch. I don’t know what caused the itchiness but needless to say I didn’t feel compelled to stick it out.
You can see from the pic that the milky serum (more like a lotion) didn’t absorb well into the sheet nor my face and just sat around all clumpy.
After I peeled off the mask, my skin was PALER than before. Combined with the cold flu sweat and malaise…I basically looked like a vampire. Angela would’ve approved.
Pros:
Cute packaging, cheap, widely available on Amazon
Cons:
Doesn’t spread well, tingling sensation, ill fitting mask sheet
I was totally tempted to get this because I thought it may perform similarly to the much-loved donkey milk mask! But I guess that may not be the case 😦
First, your cat is so stinkin’ cute!
Second, I am with you on the mask! I received one in a mask subscription & it just didn’t fit well. While it did seem to have an effect on my skin, there seemed to be a “heavy” quality to the essence that was a bit of a turnoff for me.
Aw, that’s a damn shame. It’s SILKY and CREAMY! But as much as I’ve come to love creamy sheet masks, think I’ll pass on this one 😦 I hope you’re feeling better!
Oh no, I hope you feel better!! ❤
At first I was all excited because cute packaging like this always gets me, but seeing the fit I think it wouldn't work for me, also the clumpy essence..
Meh, PASS!!
Have you tried the donkey milk sleeping mask? I’m so intrigued about it! I hope that you’re feeling better already. I have been keen to try out Elizavecca stuff but I might have to give this one a pass!
When u tried this I didn’t love the sheet itself but I wanted to bottle the essence. And then I found the essence for sale on Amazon… And now Memebox has it. And it comes in the cutest bottle. I have willpower. I do. I’m sorry you didn’t love it too.
