- Oh, hello!
I feel like Mrs. Doubtfire in a $150 face mask.
(clanging music)
All right, so yesterday I was scrolling around on Sephora
and tried to find a face mask, and I found a face mask
that was $150, and I was very confused.
There's six masks in here, and at $150,
that turns out to be $25 per mask.
Now I'm very skeptical that this is gonna work at all,
so I'm going to try it for you all and let you know
if it works or not.
It doesn't even say what it's supposed to do on this box.
It's just super expensive.
Could this possibly work?
Here are the things that I want to see if this helps.
I have some discoloration.
I have a new pimple forming that I'm hoping
it will take away.
I have some kind of roughness,
and I'm hoping it kind of evens out the coloring,
moisturizes my skin, and takes some of this redness away.
So let's do it!
Ooh. My skin immediately feels soothed.
Oooh, it smells so fresh and floral.
Wow, this is a soft mask.
What is sk2? It sounds like a car model.
It's gonna take me 15 minutes to get this thing on!
Well? This is on. This is what I look like.
Like a kabuki actor.
So apparently this thing's supposed to lift my whole face.
So this is like a cheap face lift I guess.
But my face doesn't really need to be lifted.
My skin's just fucking terrible because
I'm still in young skin problems.
My skin isn't saggy. It's just like fuck you, you know?
It's definitely a lot like tighter fitted to my face
than most masks that I've worn.
It smells really yummy and it feels kind of creamy.
I'm gonna sit around for 15 minutes and
check my Twitter and see if this works at all.
- [Mother] What are you doing?
- What I imagine Gwyneth Paltrow does when she's home.
- [Mother] Oh my gosh.
- She reads a magazine and luxuriates ...
- [Mother] Ahhh.
- With money on her face.
All right! My mask time is done.
And it feels very, very fresh.
Like I was just sitting in like ice cold rose water
for 10 minutes.
But is it worth $25?
(rhythmic music)
All right. Night two of my mask.
I did it, you know, even though I'm getting my period,
my face did look nicer today
and it was definitely moisturized.
It's morning of Day Two,
and I feel like my face looks a little bit nicer.
The pimples are getting smaller.
Maybe it's just in my head, but my skin is definitely
more moisturized than it usually is,
so maybe this thing's gonna work.
(rhythmic beat)
- [Narrator] What does my face look like to you?
- Uh, right now, sweaty. (mother laughs)
- Shiny and awful.
(laughter)
- It's nice and smooth. - It's like firmer.
- Smooth. - Yeah?
- Smooth.
- You ...
- [narrator] It feels nicer.
- Does it come out dirty or something? Or ...
- [Narrator] Not really, it just like moisturizes it.
It smells like a spa.
- It just looks like your face is wet.
(narrator laughs)
I could do that with some water.
- It really is, right now that I'm looking at it,
my skin doesn't look that bad.
It was like dry.
It definitely feels firm and my pores feel smaller.
Just kind of hard to tell because
I have all this like period acne.
(upbeat music)
So it's Day 7,
and aside from just my normal acne on my skin,
my face actually looks pretty good.
Like it feels really moisturized ...
And my pores don't look big.
I look rested, so I guess tomorrow we'll see if people
can actually tell a physical difference.
So now that I've worn the mask for a week,
I've printed out two pictures of me,
one before and one after, and I'm going to ask my co-workers
if they can tell the difference between my face,
and whether or not they think that it was worth it to spend
$150 on this face mask.
So, let's go see.
- I have a theory.
- [Narrator] Yes.
- Oh lord, already?
- Yeah. They're the same skin,
but it looks like you put foundation on this one.
- Is this photoshopped?
- [Narrator] No.
- No?
- The main difference I think is like
it looks brighter in this picture.
- I mean, your skin does look very hydrated here.
- I guess, um, this one's for sure.
- The skin looks like, it looks more even.
You know, and like dewy and creamy.
- You literally look airbrushed.
- [Narrator] Uh huh.
- It does look better. There's a ...
- [Narrator] There's a difference.
- a difference.
- [Narrator] This is insane.
- How much was it?
- [Narrator] It Was $150.
- Oh, damn!
- [Narrator] Do you think it's worth it to
spend that much on a face mask?
- I mean, like, if it makes you happy.
Some people need to spend more money to get better skin,
and I would understand that.
- So there you have it.
It looks like my face mask experiment worked.
Every single one of my coworkers was able
to see a difference in my skin.
As to whether or not I would spend $150 on a face mask
for something for a week, is still kind of a gamble.
I kind of have a feeling that if you just put any kind of
mask on, it would have the same effect.
But I think if you're doing an event that is like an
emergency thing in one week, like a prom or a wedding,
or any kind of photo shoot, it would definitely be worth
it to do this as kind of like an emergency
last-minute treatment.
So I'm gonna give this product a two fingers up.
That's my rating. It's a peace sign.
I'm gonna give it a peace sign because I think it worked.
I did not know what it was gonna do,
but my face definitely looks nicer.
So we'll see you next time, on "What the Beauty."
That's a tentative title.
Do you guys like that?
We'll see if it sticks!
