Nature Republic Real Nature Mask Sheet Rose

I received the Nature Republic Real Nature Sheet Rose mask as a free sample for my order from the Dutch K-beauty shop. Once you purchase something with the total value over 30 euros they give you a free surprise mask as a thank you for your order. I appreciate their effort a lot (I shop there quite often 🙂 ). That way I always get some cool masks to try out.

My experience:

Overall I love a lot of masks containing Rose extracts or Rose hip oil as an ingredient. This mask is not an exception. Everything about the Nature Republic Real Nature Rose Mask is done right starting from the packaging and ending up with what the aftermath after an application. Essence in this mask is very watery an is rose scented. It is translucent and absorbs very well.

The packaging of this series is very attractive, hence this mask is highly suitable for presents for your beloved ones. Essence is clear and has a bit oily feel to it.  The sheet is a bit thicker than the MISSHA Herb in nude masks and it seems to hold the liquid serum very well. Application is not droopy. Sheet of the mask unfolds easily and has 2 sets of slits on the cheeks and at the chin for the better fit. The sheet is quite large so it will fit wider faces without any issues. For me it went all the way into my hairline on my temples (impressive for someone with a huge forehead).

I left the mask on for full 20 minutes but I felt like I could keep it on my face for longer time. The leftover essence eventually sinks into your skin and you are left with a beautiful radiant glow. If you have a dry skin, this mask is definitely worth trying out. Unfortunately mine is oily and in 4 hours I looked yet again like a grease-ball. Wasn't an issue for me as my face had no trace of stickiness.
