How is everyone feeling this holiday season? Is it bringing you joy, or are you feeling overwhelmed? Personally, I enjoy the festive spirit and the opportunity to earn some extra income, but I also anticipate the shift in mood that January brings. People often become grumpy or overly focused on post-holiday follow-ups. For now, I’m embracing the magic of Christmas and excited to share my experience with the Sephora Collection Glow Booster Sheet Mask, which has piqued my interest…

What makes this mask unique? This innovative mask is designed in two parts, which initially seemed unusual to me since it is not made of a hydrogel or “rubbery” material. However, I have a fondness for a two-part mask by Klairs that ensures a snug fit. The Glow Booster Mask emphasizes immediate skin brightening through the inclusion of Vitamin C, which is known for its skin-enhancing properties. Notably, Ascorbyl Glucoside is listed as one of the primary ingredients, so it has definitely earned some points for that!

Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Ascorbyl Glucoside, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, 1,2-Hexanediol, Hydroxyacetophenone, Inositol, Glycosyl Trehalose, Sodium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate, Potassium Hydroxide, Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate, Parfum (Fragrance), Xanthan Gum, Ananas Sativus (Pineapple) Fruit Extract, Lecithin, Sorbitan Caprylate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Dilauramidoglutamide Lysine, O-Cymen-5-Ol, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract.

This product is marketed as a quick sheet mask that revitalizes your skin in just five minutes! Naturally, I decided to leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes to maximize its benefits. The fabric of the mask is quite thin, and I noticed that there wasn’t a generous amount of essence in the package or absorbed by the mask, leading it to dry out rather quickly. By the end of my 20-minute experience, I could feel certain spots on the mask had dried out noticeably.

One downside I encountered was that the mask did not fully overlap, leaving noticeable gaps on my cheeks. While the mask remained mostly in place, the lack of coverage in those areas was frustrating and detracted from the overall experience!

Comprehensive Mask Summary:

Price: $8.50 CDN

Benefits: Brightening

Aroma: Similar to orange Tic Tacs

Essence Consistency: Clear, slightly viscous

Recommended Usage Duration: 15 minutes

Material Thickness: Thin

Fit Quality: Subpar. There’s excess material on the sides, and the two pieces didn’t align well, creating gaps in coverage.

Tackiness Level: None

Moisture Level: Light hydration. Suitable for humid climates or summer, but insufficient for dry winter weather!

Additional Observations: During my 20 minutes of wear, I noticed parts of the mask drying out.

Overall Assessment: I found that many of the positive reviews for this mask on Sephora appeared to be incentivized. It seems that those who rated it highly may not have extensive experience with other sheet masks. After using it, I did notice a pleasant glow post-application and appreciated that it wasn’t tacky to the touch. This mask is ideal for quick use in the mornings or right before makeup application. However, I question the necessity of having it as a two-part mask; the fabric could have easily been made as a single piece, and having to unfold two thin sections is quite inconvenient. In comparison, the Klairs two-part mask is thicker and easier to handle. I won’t be repurchasing this mask, and when it comes to Sephora’s offerings, I prefer their full-face masks instead!
