One more face mask for today! This time, a real treat for
all the chocoholics out there – this is the Sinsay Nourishing Face Mask,
variant Choco Cream!
There was literally a 0% chance that I wouldn’t buy this
mask! It’s made for me: chocolate cream??? Sign me up, like, right now! The
more chocolate the better, is my motto! And it’s super affordable, so why not
buy it? I must say that I am very excited to try it out! The previous sheet
masks from Sinsay have been a mix of good and average, but honestly, I don’t
care with this mask – I just want it to smell like melted chocolate so that I
can have like 15 minutes of pure bliss! Now, let’s see if it lives up to this
expectation!

Packaging: aww, what a tiny sachet! It’s so cute! Look – it
looks like a tiny jar full of chocolate! Oh would I love to have that! Not
Nutella, but literal melted chocolate! Yum! I love the light blue colour,
it’s great colour to contrast with the
dark chocolate brown! And it’s a cute colour anyways, such a sweet baby blue! All
the information is in the back.

Ingredients: glycerine, cocoa (Theobroma cacao) seed butter/extract,
almond (Prunus amygdalus dulcis) oil, witch hazel (Hamamelis virginiana) leaf
water, coconut (Cocos nucifera) water, common walnut (Juglans regia) leaf
extract, panthenol/provitamin B5, vitamin E, Leuconostoc/radish root ferment
filtrate, barley (Hordeum vulgare) powder for nourishment. No parabens. Okay,
wow, this looks very promising! Tons of nourishing and calming ingredients!
We’ll see how good it is actually for my skin, though. Omg this scent! It’s
sooo delicious! It’s relatively intense, but I honestly actually like that it
is intense! You know why? Because it smells exactly like chocolate! It’s either
like hot chocolate or like nougat chocolate, because it’s sweet but still
smells like chocolate. This may be too yummy for before bed haha! But it
doesn’t really smell synthetic at all, it’s like I’ve literally got chocolate
on my face! Yum! The expiration date is listed as a real date on the sachet.
This mask should be left on for 15 minutes and then rinsed off with lukewarm
water.

This mask is very light brown in colour, almost kinda like
chocolate milk! This matches the scent very well! But it’s quite similar to my
skintone so it’s not very visible on me, sadly.
Alright, this is a very greasy formula. It feels greasy and
slick and kinda heavy, but not nearly as much as it could be. It’s actually
fairly lightweight given how greasy it is. But it’s still too greasy for my
already oily skin.

Hmm, well, it certainly feels nourishing. But that’s mostly
it? It doesn’t really feel too hydrating or anything else. It doesn’t feel like
it’s suffocating my skin; it’s actually pretty comfortable. I mean, this is a
nourishing face mask, so I guess I shouldn’t feel disappointed that this is it?
Although, I did expect it to at least feel hydrating and a bit calming as
well...

After 15 minutes and a rinse, my face looks... well, good? It
does look nourished, and a tiny bit plumper, but it’s not a huge difference. It,
of course, does nothing to soothe acne. But at least it doesn’t seem to cause
any irritations. My skin feels okay, but, again, it’s nothing too special.
The morning after, my skin still feels okay. It doesn’t look
dried out and no new acne appeared overnight. So it seems like my skin tolerated
the face mask rather well. But there aren’t many improvements to its condition,
honestly. Oh well, at least it didn’t get worse, right?
All in all, well... it’s alright. Not good, not bad, just
alright. The mask is greasy, like, real greasy, but it feels lightweight, which
is good for my already oily skin. It doesn’t really feel like much while it is
drying, just a bit greasy, but it’s otherwise very comfortable on the skin. The
results are meh. There’s really no other word to describe it, it doesn’t really
do much to my skin. It does seem to nourish it a little bit, but that’s all. My
skin doesn’t look or feel more hydrated or soothed or anything else really. It’s
not dried out, though, which is good. While this is all kinda disappointing,
one thing is definitely not: the scent! Oh my god! This is majestic – it smells
like hot chocolate or nougat chocolate! And it doesn’t smell synthetic, it’s a
true chocolate scent that is just sooo yummy! This pleases my chocoholic heart!
If only the rest matched how good the scent is... it’s sad that it doesn’t. Oh
well. At least it was 15 minutes of delicious chocolate smell filling the air
all around me. But since it’s so mediocre I won’t be giving it a
recommendation, the scent is just not enough, sadly.
Rating: 6/10
Would buy again? Maybe YES (only because it smells so much
like chocolate)
