Lamy Products Part One: Rice Paper Eating Breast Masks

No, not my BEST mask, my BREAST mask. Breast masks are a relatively new concept in the United States, but they really shouldn't be. The skin on our breasts is very soft and tender and deserves as much care as out face.

The Lamy Rice Paper Eating Breast Mask is the first of seven products from Lamy Cosmetics that I will be reviewing. They claim to be made out of 97% edible ingredients. Which I am not sure was necessary for a breast mask, but it is an interesting concept.

Review

The Lamy Rice Paper Eating Breast Mask was a bit odd. The packaging was oversized for any type of a sheet mask. When the package is opened, I found that the serum was in a separate sachet and the breast mask was in a clear case and looked almost like a transparent CD and disk. The paper for the mask was a pale cream paper and there were not only the breast masks (which resembled CDs in shape and with the hole in the center) but little heart nipple masks as well!

The serum was clear, runny and a non-sticky citrus like smell. There was also a slight alcohol smell (alcohol is the last ingredient).

The instructions say to take the serum package and pour it in the open tray. The serum needs to sit in the tray for two minutes and absorb into the mask material.

Once the mask is on, I noticed there was a flour like smell. Duh. Rice Paper. The mask was hard to position as it tore easily and was very sticky. The mask did not have an even amount of serum throughout the material and the mask that was on the bottom of the tray was dripping. One sticky breast, one wet breast. As I was bitching about this, my boyfriend was laughing from the desk and offering no advice other than to not get the bed wet. Eye roll. When I removed the mask, I noticed there was a stickiness left behind that felt awkward and needed to be washed off. Which may take away from the point of the mask and serum.

How do you know if the mask worked? Well, I bought myself a moisture meter to find out. Before I put the mask on, I took moisture readings on the top of my breasts, under my breasts and on my sternum between my breasts. After the mask (before I washed) the moisture on my breast increased by an average of 10.56% in the spots that I previously took measurements in.

While there was a good amount of moisture from these masks, the delicate nature of the paper made it hard to use and was too easy to rip. I also don't like having to wash up after the mask. I will probably use the remaining masks I have but not repurchase.

Getting A Little Steamy in Here...Ok, Not Really

The pictures you are about to see are no where near sexy. Not even close. These hilarious pictures are brought to you buy the Nature Republic Premium Gold Steam Foil Mask Sheet and my total lack of fucks given.

This package was reallllly hard to photograph...all shiny

This mask was a blast to play with. I had gotten curious about foil masks after seeing Fiddy from Fifty Shades of Snail on her social media accounts rocking the baked potato look. The more I researched, the more curious I got. So I hopped on Ebay and ordered one of the more reasonably priced masks. I ended up with the Nature Republic Premium Gold Steam Foil Mask Sheet. I could not bring myself to put actual sheets of gold on my face, as is apparently a trend. I had the worst urge to be snarky and lay all my Mom's gold jewelry on my face and take a picture for this review, but I restrained my self. I already get looks of judgment from my dogs.

The Review

The Nature Republic Premium Gold Steam Foil Mask Sheet was in the "hydro-gel cut" for sheet masks, which means it is cut in two pieces. The mask itself surprised me. I was expecting just foil. It was actually a regular sheet mask with a foil covering. It was quite thick and a bit awkward.

The mask scent was lightly citrusy with a tiny hint of floral I picked up on. I am quite sensitive to florals, so if I see florals on a package, I am a bit wary. This scent was just fine though and was quite
pleasant.

Sexxxy...

The fit of the mask was all wrong though. I had a hard time keeping it on and had to be slightly reclined to be able to keep it on. You know, through all the laughing. I looked ridiculous as you can see. The cheeks and lower chin were hard to keep on ant the nose area barely touched skin.

The mask is meant to be kept on for only 10 minutes. I laughed the whole time. Dad made C3P0 jokes and my boyfriend told me I looked like Leatherface had gotten dressed by Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.

Back to my skin. The parts of the mask that were actually touched by the mask felt good. I was well moisturized. When I woke up in the morning it still felt good. No greasy skin either! So all in all this was a pleasant experience because of the humor. If the fit of the mask were better, I would re-purchase. As is, I think I will look up foil masks from other brands.
