This is a part of a new series where I will describe any new
and interesting beauty finds.
As I’m writing this, I look like a serial killer or maybe the
phantom of the opera. I’m actually using a DIY compressed sheet mask. What the
heck is a compressed sheet masks?
Well, my dear Watson, a compressed sheet mask is just the dry
pulpy mask that was compressed into the shape of a tablet without any of its
juices (ok, essences. But sheet mask juice sounds funny to me).

| Hi there. I'm from your nightmare |
I got mine from a Japanese convenience store called MINISO,
which is actually a heaven for stupidly cheaapp beauty finds. A pack of 40
costs RM10, therefore each sheet mask costs around 25 cents. Cheaper than
RM1-RM2 sheet mask that I can get from SaSa. I think you can also get this
masks from DAISO if you just want to try it out.
If you’re like me who’s freaking lazy to apply
lotion/essences but got more of those stuff piling up on your vanity, I
recommend getting one pack of these. You can also use this to use up the
essences in branded sheet masks packets that are generous with their essences.
Right now I’m using the extra from my Innisfree It’s Real Squeezing mask in
Aloe. I added some moisturizing lotion and WH10 It’s Skin Co Effector serum for
good measure.
To use the compressed sheet mask tablet, first mix up your
choice of essence. I’m using a rose water essence from MINISO as well here in
this picture with some hydrating essence. We also need to talk about that rose
essence in another post. It’s the coolest essence I had ever seen.

Then, drop your compressed mask tablet into the mixture and
let it soak. You can add more essence if you think your mask is still dry. I
let mine soak for a few hours but I think around 10-20 minutes is already
sufficient.

The sheet masks from MINISO does not fit me that well, but it’s not the worst. The nose part is a bit small for my nose and the mouth part a bit low for my face.
Overall, it’s a good addition if you don’t want to shell out
so much money on sheet masks but still want to use it frequently in your beauty
routine. I for one is going to repurchase this pack as I’m intending to wear
sheet masks every day. And now I’m going to take a long nap while wearing my
mask, thank you.
XOXO
