Review: Silk Whitia - Deeply Moisturizing Treatment Mask

I purchased some products at sasa.com a while ago, see haul blogpost. I bought some Silk Whitia masks back then which are called the deeply moisturizing treatment masks. I've been using these for a while and I thought it was time to write a review about it :).

SASA Haul - Silk Whitia, K-Palette, Nexcare, Estee Lauder

I recently purchased a few items from SASA.com. It's always so tempting to buy something when they have a FREE SHIPPING deal T___T. I always share it on my facebook/twitter when they have a nice deal, so follow me there if you haven't done so. I couldn't resist it this time and purchased a few products to try. Lets see what I bought shall we ^___^.

Beauty Tips: How to cure dry, flaky skin?

Ugh... it's THE time of the year again.. I have a combinated dry skin and recently I keep getting dry and flaky spots on my face which I totally hate! A lot of people will have it during the winter (because of the cold weather) and some will suffer from it no matter what time of the year it is. I usually have it during the winter and it really looks ugly when I have foundation on my face. The common dry spots are the nose, mouth, cheeks and above the eyebrows area. In this blogpost I'm going to give you a few tips for your dry and flaky skin which helped on my skin. Continue with reading if you want to know more ;)..

Review: Silk Whitia - Hanfang firming mask

Description on the packaging - what does it claims
The rich content of natural citric Acid and Malic Acid extracted from Fructus Schisandrae Essence effectively refine pores. Ginseng Extract, Vitamin E and collagen soothe fine lines, revitalize the skin and postpone aging, restoring the skin to become fine, firm, supple and radiant.

Price
Sasa is selling it for $16.60 per box. 1 box comes with 5 masks which means that 1 mask costs $3.32, that's quite expensive for masks though. However, Sasa often have a buy 1 get 1 free deal which means that you will get 10 masks for $1.66 per mask. It's out of stock at Sasa at the moment, so you won't be able to buy it now.

Packaging
The packaging is purple with a cherry? on it. It looks very simple and neat. Like all the other masks, you have to tear the packaging open to get the mask out.

The texture & scent
These masks are more thick and softer compared to the My Beauty diary masks (natural line). The mask came folded and it was drenched in essence. There was lots of serum on it, the essence was even dripping so I recommend to put a tissue under it while unfolding the mask. The serum was also sticky >.<' that's the reason why you have to wash it after after 20 minutes. This mask didn't have a scent and the fitting was good for my face.

These pictures were taken after I left it on my face for 20 minutes. As you can see, the Silk Whitia mask is thicker than the My Beauty Diary mask.

Ingredients
Fructus Schisandrae Essence, Wheat Germ Protein, Ginseng Extract, Vitamin E, Betaine, Propylene Glycol. On the packaging it says that the material is from France and the Plants Essence is from Hong Kong.

How to use
Place the firming mask onto cleansed skin and leave it on face for 15 - 20 minutes, then remove and rinse face with water. Use daily for best results.

My opinion
I wanted to try this mask since Fuzkittie highly recommended this mask. Lol watching Youtube videos ain't good, it makes me want to buy a lot of products hahah. Anyways, back to my opinion of this product. This is the first mask that I've tried of this brand, so I was excited to try it out. This mask doesn't have many ingredients which can be a good thing. It's quite expensive though. I would buy it if Sasa has a great deal again, but I wouldn't buy this mask for the normal price ($16.60 per box). My experience with this mask is good. After I pulled the mask off after 20 minutes, my face felt stiff, i guess that's the firming effect ^_^. After washing my face, it felt moisturized and firm. I loved the result, this mask really worked after using it only once. If you want to purchase Silk Whitia masks, I definitely would recommend this one.

Sheet mask swap with Elle ♥

I lalalapf sheet masks! I did a small face mask swap with Elle from Insideout Elle. Check her blog out if you haven't ;) She sent me a couple of My beauty Diary masks of the Blooming of Beauty series that I talked about in my previous blogpost, some Silk Whitia masks, VOV masks and some Japanese candy ='D. Those candies were nice hihi ♥. Whoa so many sheet masks that I haven't seen before and I'm dying to try it ^__^.

So far I've tried the Blooming of Beauty Lily mask, the cold stone mask is next!!! Super excited to try that one :D, I mean come on who doesn't like cold stone ice cream \^o^/!? I'm also curious about the VOV Charcoal Pack, which is a BLACK peel-off mask. I've never seen a black mask before :).
