papa recipe is a brand that i fall in love with their masks. unfortunately, it's not easy to get them here, so i have to wait until at least i go to singapore to get them. last time i got them was when i went to hong kong and i bought three variants at once which i love them all. and this time, i noticed that they have two more variants available in singapore. i was hesitating at first, but then i found the 5 masks in a box, so i grabbed them both. i decided to try the green one first, so let's see...
this is the description from kmall website: avocado, parsley in rich chlorophyll make healthy and elastic skin. the propolis ingredient replenishes moisture and nutrients to dry and frizzy skin, creating a moist and shiny skin. the vegetable collagen ingredient obtained from carrots gives skin elasticity.
the packaging: this comes in a box of 5. the box has the same design as the individual packaging. there's description at the back in korean, but the ingredients list is in english. the picture is the the same as the older version. the difference is in the individual packaging. the old one has regular rectangular sachet, but the new one has cut-out honey jar-shaped sachet.
the scent: it has the usual papa recipe honey scent, which is not overly sweet, a bit medicated in my opinion, and very subtle. the scent is supposed to be different for each type, so i honestly can't tell what is the difference between the original and the green one in terms of their scent. all i know is that they both smells similar.
the product: the mask is thinner than the rose gold (which has pattern on it), but this one feels more papery compared to the original mask. it still has backing and it's appreciated since the mask is really thin. as usual, the mask is soaked in lots of clear but viscous essence and there's a bit left, but i pat it back to the mask to prolong the wear time. i forget about the original mask's fit, but this one has tall forehead, small eyes and mouth holes, long nose flap (love it), and decent width but still doesn't cover my jaws. there's no slit but it's adjustable. for me, the fit is acceptable and easy to work with.
the result: i put this one for about 30 minutes, and it's still damp. and the result is predictable. it moisturizes my skin, making it a bit tacky but i don't mind it. it also gives brightening effect. although it's not as visible as the black honey one, but it's still visible when you compared to the "before" picture.
anyway, long story short, i definitely like this version. although i'm hoping that it has the same smooth and soft materials as the original one. definitely putting this in my "will repurchase" list for now. oh, and price wise, it's a bit expensive than regular korean masks, taiwanese masks, and japanese masks, but i think it's worth the price. i think it's suitable for all skin types. even though it's moisturizing, it's not super rich heavy that it might clog your pores. have you tried papa recipe masks? which one is your favorite?
