This post is a review of all the masks I use each month and mini reviews on all of them - I also consider the Month of Masks my Mask Empties post, because I do not feature my sheet masks in my monthly empties post! You can check out my past Month of Masks here!
For March and April I was really good about using masks at least every other day - I didn't do as great for May, so I will hopefully do much better next month!
Here is a look at all the masks I used in May:
May 1
The Face Shop Character Mask - Pig "Moisturizing" ~ $4.00. This moisture radiance character mask provides deep moisture and radiance deep into the skin with honey rich in vitamins and minerals. Dermatologist Tested & Formula without 6 additives (Sulfate, Talc, Mineral oil, Quarternium, Polyacrylamide, Paraffin).
If you have followed me for a little while now, you will know that I love scary and hilarious masks (they are usually animal masks)... they are so fun! I posted a full review about this mask on a Skincare Sunday (you can see it here), but I actually thought this mask was really good and was super moisturizing!
Repurchase: likely...
May 2
Keratin Gloves & Socks ~ $9.98. Treat yourself to a spa sesh right at home! Developed by Bodipure Inc., Keratin Gloves & Socks are a waterless, all-in-one hand and foot treatment that strengthens nails and moisturizes skin with the benefits of keratin. Whether you're at home or on-the-go, these babies give you the easiest mani-pedi treatment ever.
I received this in a FabFitFun box, and also did a little further review on a Monthly Pedicure/Manicure Monday post - here! The foot masks were HUGE, but I thought they did a really good job at adding moisture to my feet. The hand masks were okay, but the effects didn't last very long.
Repurchase: No, probably not...
May 4
Skin Soop Paeonia Lactiflora Oriental Therapy Sheet Mask ~ $?. The basis for this mask is "Paeonia Lactiflora" which is basically the root of an Eastern type of peony. Paeonia Lactiflora is said to have antioxidant qualities which reduce inflammation, heal dark spots, soften and moiturize the skin - it is common in Chinese Traditional Medicine.
I really wish I knew more about this mask - I received in a subscription and cannot find much about it online; but, I wish it was easier to find because this made my skin feel great! I was a touch tingly on my skin, but not in a bad way!
Repurchase: If I could find it, I would!
May 6
Tony Moly I'm Real Rice Mask Sheet Clear Skin ~ $4.50 ($9 for 2 at Sephora). This sheet mask treatment is infused with natural rice extract for radiant, clear skin. Perfect for all skin types, it moisturizes, brightens, and instantly invigorates your complexion.
I generally like Rice masks, but I couldn't get over the scent of this one - it was so strong! It's funny actually I have a past review of this mask on a previous Month in Masks post and it says I loved the smell and that it reminded me of fresh laundry. So, I used to like it, but don't enjoy the scent anymore! It had a good amount of essence and did work to brighten my skin!
Repurchase: Maybe... probably not though.
May 8
The Face Shop 3-step Programming Kit - BRIGHTENING & SOOTHING ~ $5.00. This at-home kit for clean, fresh skin does it all. It exfoliates, soothes and moisturizes your skin.
This was a new mask for The Face Shop so I had to pick it up and try it right away. There seems to be a theme to this post - I reviewed this on a Skincare Sunday post, so you can check out the full review here! This mask contains a spot treatment peel, a pre-mask serum and then a sheet mask. The mask came with a lot of essence and lasted well over 30 minutes on my face. I thought this mask made my skin feel really great and I could see visible results the following morning for brighter and smoother skin - it delivered!
May 10
Avene Eau Thermale Soothing Moisture Mask ~ sample (full size is $27.91). Normal to sensitive skin. Tired, dull, lack luster skin Reactive skin (Redness, tightness, sunburn). Benefits: Rich, creamy, non-setting mask soothes over stressed skin. Replenishes moisture to dehydrated skin and helps restore skin's barrier. Deeply penetrates skin to restore suppleness as it minimizes redness.
This is a wipe-off mask, but I generally leave it on for extra moisture and my skin absorbs it quickly. I have featured this on the past 2 Month in Masks posts, so I'm actually a little shocked at how long this little sample has lasted for! I do like this mask and it does make my skin feel more supple.
Repurchase: Maybe, I will decide when I'm done this....

May 11
Juara Skincare Turmeric Antioxidant Radiance Facial Mask ~ sample size 0.34 oz for $4.19 (full size is 3 oz for $37). A must for radiant skin, JUARA’s Turmeric Antioxidant Radiance Mask utilizes the proven power of Indonesian turmeric. This powerful mask detoxifies, brightens and strengthens stressed, tired, dull-looking skin in one single application. Turmeric extract works to brighten and even out skin tone while providing antioxidant protection, kaolin clay purifies skin and refines pores and a touch of candlenut oil is added to soften and nurture skin. This unique mask is a great instant pick me up!
I loooove this mask - it makes my skin look and feel amazing!! I have done a full review of this mask before - you can check it out here. It is a wash off style mask so you apply and layer and let it sit for a while - this one warms the skin and feels a little tingly (but not in a bad way) and you rinse it off, or you can user it as an overnight mask. Again, LOVE how my skin looks after this!
Repurchase: Yes!
May 13
Essfolio Gold Mask - Gold Essence ~ $2.47. Containing Colloidal Gold, this sheet mask is great for alleviating stressed skin by adding elasticity and nutrition.
This mask fit really weird on me - it was too small on my forehead, but then too big on the sides of my face so it was just strange. This mask had a lot of essence and lasted a long time on my skin. It did work well, but nothing special with how poor the fit was.
Repurchase: No
May 15
ToGoSpa Eyes - Green Tea ~ $12.50 for a pack of 3 pairs. Rejuvenating. Lift and revitalize your eyes for a youthful appearance with Green Tea Eyes.
These are some of my favorite eye gels - they last quite a while and made my eyes feel great. They are soothing and reduce puffiness! (An extra bonus, you can put them in the fridge first).
Repurchase: Yes, once I get through all of my sets!
May 16
Mirum Green Tea Hydrating and Moisturizing Facial Mask ~ $0.99 (10 for $9.99). This is a sheet-type mask containing green tea extracts. The excellent moisturizing effect will improve dry and tired skin by leaving it smooth and vibrant. This hypoallergenic mask sheet stays attached to the face along with the natural skin texture. Provide a soothing comfort for your skin.
I received this mask as part of a blogger freebie review - this is a honest review. I thought this mask had a good amount of essence and fit fairly well on the face. I found the essence absorbed quickly and did not last very long. It was okay, I didn't think it was amazing...
Repurchase: No
Sexy Look Hydrating Black Face + Neck Mask ~ $4.99. This Sexy Look mask maintains the moisture balance in your skin by hydrating and controlling the production of sebum. Great for all skin types!
I received this in a past MaskGenie pouch, and I really love the black sheet masks - they are quite scary and hilarious to wear! This one was a little different and has a neck piece that covers under the face as well. This mask had a ton of essence and I thought it fit pretty well. Overall, my skin felt good after using this, but I'm not sure it was $5 a mask great.
Repurchase: Likely not... there is comparably good masks for less money!
Urban Dollkiss Welcome to Korea Skin Solution Mask ~ $2.24 (7 masks for 14000 won/$15.72 CAN). Fermented horse placenta and Portulaca Oleracea, Centella asiatica, a variety of organic extracts and ingredients of propolis. Given the moisture balance given to help relieve skin problems and stress, soothes the skin gives Lotus Phyto Plage septo culture extracts the moisture and nutrient supply secondary The solution mask pack to cultivate a comfortable and given help to clean the skin.
These money masks have such funny packaging - I will hand it to Urban Dollkiss for always having fun looking products. I was however, not a huge of the fit at all. It was quite big and loose on my face and just didn't stay in place well at all. This was hard to wear and hard to judge the results because I couldn't keep it on very long!
Repurchase: No
May 23
Shara Shara Baby Hand and Nail Mask ~ $7.70. This hand & nail sheet that contains herb complex which gives moisturizes and nourishing dry hand & nail.
I used these after my serious long weekend clean-out! These are expensive masks and were sent in a Mask Genie pouch. These were pretty big on my hands but lasted a long time (like 30 minutes) and did make my hands feel really good! For $7 each though, I'm not sure they were that amazing!
Repurchase: If I saw them for much less somewhere...
May 24

With this Mediheal Mask Dress Code, Experience a beauty beyond compare during intensive skin care and complete all skin care steps with mask dress's dignity. Uses a highly concentrated formulation of natural materials, helps your unbalanced skin become healthier by making it resistant to stress and restoring skin balance.
Please ignore the amazing quality of this picture - I almost forgot to take a picture! I have featured this on a past Month in Masks - I will say Mediheal masks are really great! This made my skin feel amazing! I has the right amount of essence and fits the face very well (plus it's adorable!) My skin looked and felt improved and I will say this is great quality.
Repurchase: Yes
May 25
Lovemore Wine Yeast Silk Sheet Mask $2.50. Composed with high quality deep ocean water as base, add in selected top grade plant extracts and traditional formulation from all over Taiwan and then combine varies professional ingredients. It may not be the most expensive, but it provides the skin's most desired and most sought-after nutrition. Skin is left healthier looking and more radiant.
Lovemore masks are really something else - the sheet is made from 100% silk which makes it feel amazing on the skin! Seriously, if you love sheet masks and have not yet tried a silk mask, I would suggest that they are a must! They feel so luxurious on the face! This mask had a great amount of essence and fit like a glove - it lasted about 25 minutes and the essence absorbed really well in to my skin! My skin felt great! Also, I did a full review of this on a Wine and Mask Wednesday, you can check out here.
Repurchase: Yes
Repurchase: Yes
seatree Art Ice Fresh Mask ~ $2 (10 masks for $20). Icy essence absorbs loose skin to make it moist. Marronnier extracts offer assistance to your skin care and supply abundant moisture to dry skin in order to soothe exhausted skin.
I got this in a past Mask Genie pouch and it was okay - I thought the fit was a little weird. It was a little small in some places and a little too big in others. Just strange all around... the mask had a decent amount of essence but did not adhere great to the face and didn't last very long. Overall, I wasn't impressed with the fit or the results.
For May, I used 17 masks which is pretty good - I think I used the most non-face masks this month too, so that's good! My goal for June is to use a few more though!
Any masks you were loving this month?
