Hello everybunny!
I was recently contacted by the face mask subscription service FaceTory to do a review for them, you can't imagine how happy I was! If you follow my Instagram, you probably know that I already subscribe to Facetory, and that I'm a big big fan of their service~
*Just a small disclaimer before I begin: Although these masks were sent to me for review, absolutely all opinions are mine!*
A bit of background about FaceTory, they're a sheet mask subscription service which delivers a variety of sheet masks to you every month!
They have two different subscription plans:
FOUR-ever FRESH (which I was sent to review)
and
SEVEN LUX (which I subscribe to myself)
The difference between these is:
In the FOUR-ever FRESH subscription, you get four different masks. This is a great set for beginners, since the masks have more essential functions/features. The masks in this plan generally are made from cotton or cellulose. This plan costs $5.95 a month, plus $2.95 for shipping.
In the SEVEN LUX subscription, you get seven different masks. The masks in this box are somewhat more premium, and for those who have had experience with sheet masks before. These are often high-functioning masks with big results. There is a greater diversity in the material the mask is made of, and you can often find hydrogel and multi-step masks (which are some of my favorites!). This plan costs $15.95 a month, plus $3.95 for shipping. Although you end up paying more per-mask, they're all really high quality, and the original mask prices can reach up to $10!
I think both plans are great deals, and ultimately I think it just depends on how dedicated/experienced you are with sheet masks ^^
But anyways, let's get into the review!
The FOUR-ever FRESH masks arrive in a cute shipping pouch~ I love how much thought FaceTory puts into their packaging! It always brightens up my day to see something from them in my mailbox~
Inside were the four masks for the month!
This month is breast cancer research/awareness month, and FaceTory is donating 3% of their October subscription box revenue to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation! I think it's really great that they're contributing to good causes ^^
With the masks, you get a card that has a bit of information about the masks and instructions! I think it's really helpful to have this, since it addresses skin concerns that the mask deals with, which allows me to choose what mask is right for me!
Now, I'll go through the individual masks that I got this month!
D'Mask Rose Water Revital Mask
Retail price: $3.50 USD
FaceTory Description:
If it was up to us, we would love to hand deliver a bouquet of flowers to every woman who has fought or is continuing to fight breast cancer. But since we can't physically deliver flowers to everyone out there, here are some roses in the form of a sheet mask instead! One unique feature of the mask is that 82% of the entire essence is made up of rose water. Rose water has countless inflammatory benefits and helps to reduce redness, irritated skin, and acne prone skin. In addition, this mask contains pomegranate extract to calm the skin while primrose extract helps to add nutrients and deep hydration.
My Impression:
I quite like this mask! It had a very pleasantly light floral scent, and the sheet itself was quite thin (I really don't like thick sheet masks, so this made me quite happy!). It was coated with a thick serum and left my skin really sticky afterwards. However, I found it to be quite plumping! On the whole I was pleased with this mask. I really like rose water in skincare, plus it just smells divine <3
PACKage Sweet Dream Sleeping Mask
Retail Price: $3.00 USD
FaceTory Description:
Just as this mask literally says on the left side of the sheet, we want to tell all our subscribers: "You did well today, sweet dreams". After those long hours of work, school, and exhausting responsibilities of everyday life, everyone deserves to be able to just relax at the end of the day. What better way to do so than with this deep sleep mask? The essence contains natural lavender oil which has anti-inflammatory properties and works to purify the skin. A true "deep sleeping mask", the lavender scent works to calm the nervous system and act as an aromatherapy to enhance both psychological and physiological well-being. The creamy essence is packed with lavender, shea butter, and jojoba oil to balance overall moisture levels and provide nutrients for the skin.
My Impression:
Oh my gosh I loved this mask! This was definitely my favorite of the lot. It had cute printing on the side of the mask, which, as stated in the FaceTory description, said "You did well today, sweet dreams". This mask had a very heavenly lavender scent which was oh-so-relaxing~ It was covered in a really thick cream which was essentially caked on in some places. This caked on cream remained on my skin even when I removed the mask, so I had to rub it in. However, this left my skin really clear and bright! It had an oily residue, but to be honest I prefer that to when masks leave my skin sticky ^^" On the whole, I really really like this mask! And because of the relaxing lavender scent, I was able to fall asleep easily that night~
Beyond Intensive Amploule Collagen Mask
Retail Price: $3.00 USD
FaceTory Description:
It's like using a full bottle of ampoule loaded with collagen for your entire face! This Beyond mask uses a cupra sheet to ensure that there is maximum moisture retention and minimum moisture evaporation while in use. The mask is saturated with an essence containing collagen components which is essential for the overall health and appearance of the skin. High amounts of collagen not only help to reduce aging but also help to become the building blocks for elasticity. Elasticity and collagen are key functions that help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
My Impression:
This mask also had a really thin sheet, which is one of my favorite features in a mask! However, it had a really strong floral scent which sort of made the eyes burn for a bit ;-; Although if you're not really sensitive to strong scents, this wouldn't be as much of a problem ^^" On the whole it was a nice smoothing mask. There was nothing particularly outstanding about it, but for a daily mask, it's pretty good!
Epona Jeju Only Marine Plants Mask
Retail Price: $3.00 USD
FaceTory Description:
In ancient times, Epona-- the Roman goddess and protector of horses-- was the prime symbol of fertility and prosperity. As a tribute to the natural strength and beauty that Epona exuded, the Epona Jeju Mask was created! This mask combines the natural ingredients of both seaweed extract and kelp extract from the Jeju waters to moisturize the skin to a rich and healthy glow. More specifically, the seaweed extracts help to calm the skin while the kelp extract works to add just the right amount of of nutrients to give the skin that perfect radiance and suppleness. Overall functions include moisturizing the skin, calming breakouts, preventing signs of aging, and brightening the overall appearance of the face.
My Impression:
The first thing I noticed about this mask was that the sheet itself had a really pretty wave-like texture on it! The sheet was quite thick, which isn't my favorite type of mask, but it wasn't too bad ^^" This mask had a very gentle floral scent that was barely noticeable. The serum was quite thick and lotion-like, however despite that it quickly absorbed into my skin without leaving it feeling sticky or oily! This left my face feeling really soft, so on the whole it was a pretty good mask!

I hope that summary of the masks was useful! FaceTory has new masks every month, but they do sell masks from previous boxes in their shop, where you can get individual masks that you've loved previously!
On the whole, I really love FaceTory's service, and I highly highly recommend them if you love sheet masks!
