August seems like maybe a bit of an ‘unlucky’ month for me, as work and stress completely derailed my blog post streak last week. Then I got a weird rash on one side of my face, so I had to stop using sheet masks, but it still hasn’t healed, so hopefully just another week or two soaking in the stash and then going back to normal. You can go back. 100 days of sheet masking history! I was only half way through when the rash started, so I thought it would be gone by the end of September, but unfortunately it has to start in October.
Speaking of sheet masks Tony Molly The I’m Real series is perhaps the best known in both the Asian and North American markets, as it was once one of Sephora’s only choices and sold at incredible prices on Amazon for many years. One of the series. I don’t consider them to be the best sheet masks, but they are good entry-level sheet masks with fun packaging at an affordable price point.
Seaweed Skin Purification*
What’s so special about this mask? Contains seaweed extract (the middle point in the ingredient list) that refreshes and purifies skin.
All masks fit the same, so if you haven’t tried these masks yet, you’ll quickly notice that I only took one set of pictures.The fabric is thicker

Other notes: N/A
Pomegranate elasticity*
What’s so special about this mask? The mask is infused with pomegranate fruit extract that boosts collagen production to plump the skin and also has antioxidant properties. This ingredient is in the lower half of the list and has a lower concentration than the preservative phenoxyethanol that always irritates my spider sense…

aloe moisturizer*
What’s so special about this mask? This mask contains aloe and hyaluronic acid, both of which are about half to the bottom half of the ingredients list. What I like about this mask is that it’s moisturizing and doesn’t claim anything more than that, so it can be considered a great mask for beginners. Basic, but in a good way!

scent: like cotton
Essence type: transparent, watery

red wine pore care*
What’s so special about this mask? This mask has wine extract at the top of its list of ingredients, which is believed to help purify the skin and tighten enlarged pores. This essence also contains relatively high concentrations of many other botanical ingredients such as tea, rosemary, camellia and lemon balm extracts, making it one of the most impressive masks in the Im Real collection in terms of ingredients. It’s one.
Mask overview:
price: $3-$4 CDN
function: Reduces the appearance of large pores while tightening and purifying skin
scent: Is it like wine?
Essence type: transparent, lightly viscous
interval: half an hour
thickness: Moderate
Mask fit: It’s a thick sheet mask material, but it’s pretty good. There were a few wrinkles, but the mask never came off my chin.
Stickiness: very light
Hydration: After an hour my skin felt so soft!
Other notes: N/A
Final Verdict: There was a time when Amazon had all 10 of these masks for an incredibly good price, but I missed the opportunity. I’ve tried a few other than these four, but I think they’re a bit pricey in terms of fit and ingredients, so if they’re on sale, I’d love to try them all. I think the price of these masks should be in the $3 range versus $5-6, but they’re a good option if you’re just starting to get into the world of sheet masking.
