lululun face mask precious red

i may not be head over heels about lululun masks, but i like their way of forcing us to do regular masking. they didn't have single mask pouch, they always come in bulk (until recently.. they have their premium mask that comes individually), with the least one is 7 masks in one pouch. i've tried the basic one, pink, white and blue. there are two other basic types which are classified as their precious category, red and gold. i didn't buy them at first because it's for anti-aging, and i was afraid it might be too much for my skin. but after trying their masks, i bought them anyway to complete all the regular types (they have regional special masks too, but since i only went to tokyo, i didn't get the chance to buy any).

this is the description from their usa website: intense moisture RED for anti-aging care. go ahead and feel the difference. tackle dryness and signs of aging with the lululun face mask in precious red, a luxurious daily treatment developed in japan to deliver anti-aging benefits while infusing skin with moisture for long-term results.

the packaging: just like the rest from this brand, the masks come in a ziplock bag. each one has different colors according to the type. as for this one, it's definitely red. at the back there's description but everything is in japanese. the bag type one has 7 masks in a bag. all seven is in one bag without any individual packaging.

the scent: like wet tissue but subtle. i don't think i've ever encountered a japanese product that has offensive scent. most of them are either scentless or has very subtle scent.

the packaging
the product: the mask is made of thin cotton, quite stretchy and not papery at all. the fit is okay although i wish they have smaller eye holes. there's no slit so it might be a little difficult to adjust on your face. the essence is clear. usually i will try to flip the bag couple times before opening it to ensure the essence is well distributed. but even though i've done that, at the end, there's still some excess, but it's not enough to soak a dry tablet mask. this is the first lululun pouch that give me excess essence.

the result: the mask is not soaking wet so basically i only use the mask for about 15 minutes each. after taking it off, i can feel a bit tightening feeling afterwards. it's just as hydrating as the blue one, a little bit disappointing since i'm hoping this one is more moisturizing considering it's labelled as the "anti-aging" one. there's a sticky feeling afterward too, and it takes a little while for the other product in the next step to be absorbed. i didn't manage to use all seven masks in consecutive days unfortunately (the kids got sick so i have to skip days), so i can't say what will happen if i use this mask consecutively. but as for single mask usage, this one only hydrates well enough but not too much. no other effect from this mask.

honestly, i'm disappointed with this type. i'm hoping something that is more moisturizing than the blue or pink one. i have good times with the pink and blue one, and it made want to use it everyday for the whole week. but this one? i didn't miss it for skipping days. perhaps i should use this consecutively to see better result. luckily, this one doesn't cost much.
