The Save: Sephora Collection Face Mask, $30 (set of 5)

The Splurge:
Dolce & Gabbana Aurealux Mask, $169 (set of 6)

The Breakdown:
Ah, sheet masks. They terrify our partners and pets, yet they feel so luxurious.

D&G's Aurealux mask promises to saturate skin with hydration in just 10 minutes, resulting in a brighter, softer complexion. The mask feels divine while you're wearing it. It's cooling and refreshing and not too slippery or slimy. Once the mask comes off, the excess product you're instructed to rub into your skin is a bit sticky. But for the rest of the night, skin feels supersoft.

Still, derms will agree that the benefits of this mask don't translate to 28 bucks a pop. So if you want to look like a wet-paper ghost for less, consider Sephora's just-as hydrating masks. As a bonus, you can choose from eight different formulas, including green tea, honey and ginseng, depending on what your skin needs.
