Recommend: No to all three flavours mentioned - they are too mediocre. That being said, I want to try the really popular variations that made into @cosme's weekly ranking: Pearl, Green Tea, Rose, Seaweed and Grape. Hopefully these variations won't disappoint me!
For those of you who are interested in Pure Smile's sheet masks, they have 18 different flavours altogether:
It's almost like Pokemon at this point, gottacatch buy 'em all! On a side note, even though Pure Smile is a Japanese brand, their masks are made in Korea unlike the others reviewed in this entry.
PS: All of these masks come with eye flaps. Super convenient!!
PPS: Thanks Kay, Yu Ming, Milk & Cookiie and Nic Nic for gifting these masks to me!

How often do you wear masks, it seems like you do them so often! Your skin must be perfect! I wonder why Cosme seems to give all these high ratings when they're not all that good?
Thanks for the review blair, I also really want to try barrier repair. I tried their essence and it's very gentle. I think this will be a great pre-makeup refreshing mask^0^~
i wish i lived in hk, or anywhere in asia for that matter, they just have the best products to suit our skin, and they are wayy more advanced in skincare than the west.

LOL to the pokemon comment. i also want to try these masks! =)
yay for masks! theres so many sheet masks out there I can't keep up with, thanks for the review!
Thanks for the reviews! Pure Smile doesn't sound so good =/
But wow, eye flaps?? Sounds pretty amazing!!!
the assortment of masks by PureSmile look so colorful together!! oh gee they've got one for tomatos and ginseng lol...i wonder what's the next mask next to cucumber on the right ?
Ooo so many masks!! thanks for the reviews!
I've never tried nor heard any of these masks before, but they do look interesting. You're on masking roll huh? :D
I would like to try Lifecella Essence Sheet Mask Trehalose, seems like a good one!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the review! That's really cool that all those masks have eyeflaps on them - I've never seen that before on a sheet mask :)
Thanks for the shootout, Blair. Love your reviews, as always ;-)
YAY FOR FOOD-POSTS! *_*; <3
Man.. I bought a huge load of stuff to make that clearifying scrub and toner that bubzbeauty showed in a video. Where you use honey, sugar, green tea and applecider vinegar. I have a liter of applecider vinegar NEVER used cause I always postpone my ''mask and pampering''-days >_<"
Great reviews! The hylauronic acid one looks really interesting - I might have to look into it!
you definitely tried more masks than me also more adventurous. the Barrier Repair Hyaluronic Acid mask seems pretty decent.
Lifecella Essence seems like a really good one from your rating. I'm going to asia in May so I'm making a list of items to look for when I go, I'm adding that to my list!
and I think I perfer leopard over zebra prints, how about you?
GDragon! =D i love them all tho hehe! Yup I listen to a few mmm 2NE1,SuperJunior,MBLAQ,Shinee,DBSK...there's probably more but those are the ones I can name from the top of my head haha! how bout you?
