i got this when i went to japan. i thought the only place to find a compressed sheet mask or table mask was muji, since it was the only brand that i saw on instagram. but then i got in touch with another blogger (thanks a lot @kaepratiwi) and she explained to me that i can find any brand in almost any drugstore in japan. and she was right. i found daiso one from daiso, and then this one on some drugstore (i forgot which one). i didn't get to muji, so let's hope on my next trip i can find it. unfortunately, i can't find any description about it, but all i can say, it looks like a pill, and then you put it in any liquid and then the magic will work.
the packaging: it comes in plastic wrapping and then another flimsy plastic seashell-look alike. when you open it, you can see 5 tablets inside (probably they want to mimic pearls inside a seashell). when i take out one tablet, turned out there's another 5 under the original 5, so total is 10.
the product: i totally forget to compared the size between this one and daiso one, but i think it's similar, perhaps this one is slightly thicker. when it comes in contact with any liquid it forms a roll. i can unroll it to reveal the mask. from this aspect, it's easier than daiso one since daiso one is folded like regular sheet mask. the mask is thicker and more rigid, it feels like tissue paper. the fit is okay, it has longer nose part which i appreciate, but it also have eye flaps that i deem unnecessary. it's useless, why they put it there? there's also some slits for better adjustment, but don't hope much since it's a little on the inflexible side.
the result: it takes more liquid to soak the whole tablet. with the daiso one, it only need one and a half cap of my hatomugi. with this one i need almost two caps. and it dries quicker too. only takes about 10 minutes to dry out. sucks.
update: i've just read another instagrammer review about a mask sheet review, and she complained about wrinkly result because of the mask she wore. at first i didn't understand her complaining about "wrinkly moisturizing", but then i used this mask again and i finally understood. this mask is wrinkle on my skin that it made my skin wrinkly too.
honestly, seeing that this one comes from famous brand (shiseido is famous in japan), i was hoping this one does better job than daiso. but i like daiso one better. it's thinner and it absorbs liquid better. plus it takes longer to dry out so i think it gives more hydration to my skin better than the shiseido one. definitely won't buy it again.
