Review: Illiyoon Mugwort Calming Sheet Mask

I’m not really sure if it’s worth writing a review for each and every sheet mask I used. Let’s see anyway? Today the review is on this mask!

Why I chose this mask: Basically my skin do get quite red easily so I thought I should get something calming. I got it off my favourite Qoo10 on the Official Amore Pacific Store. I bought a bunch of bb cushions as well. The mask came in a pack of 10, so I have finished all 10 of them as of 7 November 2018. The packing is really pretty! I mean, for this series. 

Ingredients: Someone has uploaded it here on CosDNA.  I did not look at the ingredients list before this. Well, because it is a sheet mask and I was in a I-wanna-try-a-pretty-looking-mask mode. Only now then I realise mugwort is actually Artemisia! There are a few different species/names. Wikipedia has the best summary I feel. 

Mugwort does indeed look good, in the sense that it can do something for my skin and I’ve seen quite a few pure Artemisia products on instagram so I’m sure it does help the skin somehow. 

Texture and feel and smell: Not sure what the mask is made out of, but it’s really thick. It doesn’t cling well to the face. The mask is also not quite juicy enough. I usually use this when I only have like maybe 15 or 20 mins or so for my mask. The essence is kind of goopy and sticky. It’s clear and non-coloured. There is a kind of a smell, I think maybe now it could be the smell of mugwort, but I’m not really sure. The scent is not strong.  Other notable ingredients are glycerin, ginseng, beta-glucan (maybe that’s why it’s sticky?) The foil pack feels thick and solid too and doesn’t feel cheap upon touch. 

Whether it does anything for my face: I don’t think it really does anything, really.

Repurchase: No.

P.S. Just today (09 Nov 2018) Layna suggested that I tag my posts as such: e.g. #belindajonellexilliyoon. So I will try to go back and edit my IG posts and try to tag as many as possible. Sometimes I do talk about how I feel when I did the mask.
