Now, a kawaii fox sheet mask! This is the Sinsay Sheet Mask
Fox [Anti-Aging]! Note that it doesn’t actually have an “official” name, so
this is what I am going to call it for clarity.
Well, the main reason why I bought this sheet mask is
because it was just too adorable! I couldn’t pass up the lil foxy! I had used a
few Sinsay sheet masks before and they turned out to be surprisingly good so I
felt, why not, and added it to my cart. It’s cheap enough anyways. Of course,
Sinsay's website doesn’t list the ingredients so I was left guessing what they
meant by anti-aging. Maybe some peptides, or shea or cocoa or Q10... definitely
hyaluronic acid. Meh, whatever there is inside, it will surely be good, right?
Well, let’s see!

Owo! What an adorable sachet! Aww, look at that kawaii lil
fox! It’s so happy! I love the bold text, and it’s especially nice that it
isn’t black! It’s like a dark magenta colour that is the perfect contrast to
the soft pink of the background. All the information is in the back, as usual.

Ingredients: glycerine, cocoa (Theobroma cacao) extract, cranberry
(Vaccinium macrocarpon) fruit extract, allantoin, hyaluronic acid for
nourishment. No parabens. The scent is peculiar but not bad, per se. It’s
extremely intense and so sweet that it becomes bitter. It’s kinda like maybe
marshmallow I want to say. But it is definitely sickeningly sweet, which makes
it smell synthetic. I don’t really like it, but that’s just my preference. The
expiration date is listed along the bottom of the sachet in the back. This mask
should be left on for a mere 10 minutes! That seems a bit short, no? But it’s
great when you don’t have a lot of time for sheet masks but still want extra
TLC for your skin.

The sheet is actually pretty good, if somewhat too loose and
stretchy. It is super soft, but that actually makes it a bit difficult to
stretch out properly; I had to fiddle around for quite some time to finally get
it to be stretched out so that I can fit it on my face. Speaking of, it is not
at all too large, so it doesn’t crease a lot on my small face. This is great,
less creases on the sheet = less creases on the skin! Thanks to the super soft
material it is extremely easy to stretch it across the face so that it fits
properly.
It adheres wonderfully, it is glued to the face on all sides! It was
also drenched in serum – like, it was literally dripping wet! Sinsay did not
spare any expenses in this regard! Oh, and lest I forget! The print! It is
utterly adorable! The lil fox face print is absolutely too cute and, because
the sheet isn’t too large, it actually looks good on the face! It’s not
squished or anything. Well, the nose and mouth could be better positioned, but
that’s just nit-picking!

The serum is pretty gelly and thick. It is quite greasy. The
longer it stays, the thicker it becomes. It’s okay, I guess. I prefer lighter
serums, but this one isn’t extremely too thick anyways. It does become very,
very tacky after it dries, though and that isn’t very comfortable.
Hmm, it feels kinda citrusy while it is absorbing. Not sure
how much I like this. There is also a warming sensation that I am unsure whether
it is a sign of irritation or how it’s supposed to be. In any case, it is
hydrating, but the prickly, warm feeling negates all that and it actually
becomes difficult to tolerate the closer you are to the 10 minutes it takes for
the mask to absorb. The sickeningly sweet scent doesn’t help, either; it’s
all a pretty nauseating experience, honestly. Sad.
Note: they say that you should wash off the serum after 10
minutes. I don’t see a reason why you would do such a thing. This is a classic
sheet mask after all. So I won’t wash it off; let’s see if that changes
anything or causes any irritations. Scratch that, it feels too
uncomfortably warm. I won’t risk horrible irritations.

Okay, 10 minutes later... hmm, the warm sensation is still
there. I don’t like it. However, it didn’t seem to cause any irritations. My
skin looks hydrated and nourished, but it isn’t a lot plumper. Pores do seem to
be slightly smaller, though. It is supposed to be anti-aging, but, of course, a
single use won’t do much to actually fill in wrinkles or fine lines, you’ll
have to use the mask multiple times to really see any results. The warming
sensation goes away eventually, after about 5 minutes, and then my skin feels
confused, like it doesn’t know whether to feel warm or cold.
Idk, it’s just not
good overall. At least how it feels – it looks fine, at least for now. Also,
this mask does absolutely nothing to calm down the skin or reduce redness and
blemishes. So, in the end, my skin is just more hydrated and slightly more
nourished. What a let-down...

My skin looks exactly the same the following morning. It is
not in any better condition, but it also doesn’t look irritated or worse. Also,
no new blemishes, so it doesn’t actually irritate my skin long-term.
Overall, I feel sad. I was pretty excited to finally try
this mask out, it’s perfect for autumn when the leaves are orange and foxes
roam about searching for the few rabbits that are still around. The sheet
actually does look like a fox face! It’s adorable and the face is actually visible
on my small face! Usually, sheets are too large, so the face prints tend to get
all misshapen and wrinkled. But here it is obvious that I am a lil fox! The
sheet was soaking wet – it was literally dripping with serum! This I definitely
did not expect! And it is super soft and comfortable on the skin and just feels
great! But now we are getting to why I am sad. It’s because this mask doesn’t
show any results, actually. It feels weirdly warm while it is absorbing, which
is a feeling I never like to feel in a sheet mask. It usually means my skin is
reacting negatively to the mask... but it doesn’t look irritated once I remove
the sheet. It does make my skin somewhat more hydrated and slightly more
nourished, but it just doesn’t look any different. And the scent is sickeningly
sweet, like the sweetest marshmallows topped with like sugar syrup. It’s way,
way too sweet. Such a shame... it’s just useless, at least on my oily,
acne-prone skin. No good whatsoever! Poor lil fox! And here I was, so stoked to
finally use it, when it is in actuality barely average-quality. Oh well... it
won’t be receiving any recommendations, sadly.
