I Did a 7-Day Sheet Mask Challenge (Because What Else Am I Supposed to Do?)

From brightening vitamin A masks, to three-step hydrating sets
This fancy-pants sheet mask employs the use of vitamin C, plus potent botanical extracts sourced from the Swiss Alps (including mallow, peppermint leaf and more) to hydrate and brighten your complexion.

Pros: The two-part mask (one half covers from your eyes to your nose, and the other covers your lower cheeks, mouth and chin) which makes for a nice, customized fit. The mask itself is also sturdy and thick and easy to work with. The faint herbal smell feels luxe and there was no sliding or dripping.

Cons: The only con here is the price, baby! But if you're feeling like a splurge, this gorgeous mask fits the bill nicely.

This hydrogel eye mask is formulated with ultra-hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and snow mushroom extract to soothe and brighten your eye area.

Pros: I have a bias towards hydrogel masks — they're just so soothing and fun! And who doesn't love a jelly texture? This mask is cooling and relaxing as the name would imply, and it also had a nice faint floral scent.

Cons: It's designed to perk up your eye area, but I'm sure my chin wouldn't have minded some coverage too!

Usually, I stick to gentler ingredients like hyaluronic acid and aloe, but my face was in need of a serious reset, so I decided to try this vitamin A- (aka retinol-) infused option.

Pros: The mask itself is printed with adorable beets, as well as the message "Beet of my heart," which makes it especially primo for #maskselfies. And yes, it did leave my skin looking particularly bright and even the next day!

Cons: It stung the tiniest bit, but only on areas where I'd, er, picked at my skin a bit. Which is definitely my fault, not the mask's.

This hyaluronic acid-packed mask is actually quite unique: It comes with a little capsule on top that you break to "activate" the mask. (The idea being that it keeps the ingredients more fresh.)

Pros: I'd read that Neogen masks have especially nice construction, and that was definitely true. The mask itself was sturdy and well-saturated with serum. The mask felt somehow especially decadent as it soaked my face with much-needed hydration.

Cons: The extra step of breaking the capsule — while super easy and user-friendly — might be a turn-off if you're feeling especially lazy.

I love hydrogel masks, so I was pretty excited when this one arrived at my desk. It had a fun, jello-like texture and came in two pieces for better fit and coverage.

Pros: First of all, who doesn't love rose gold? I also found this sheet mask to be quite dew-ifying, thanks to hydrating and brightening ingredients like glycerin and niacinamide. It also contains fun novelty ingredients like rose extract, collagen and gold.

Cons: While the wild rose fragrance was delightful, it triggered my seasonal allergies just a bit. But if you don't have terrible hay fever like I do, you should be just fine!
