Sephora Brand Power Mask Collection

Remember how fond the Muse is of ranting about the lack of face masks available without the US? Asian markets are flooded with all sorts of facial masks and it's a common part of skincare regime to use these masks for extra moisture, whitening benefits, and a number of other reasons. Almost all masks are commonly found in drugstores at quite an inexpensive price tag.

Now US women are quite deprived of these great treatments and if you're seeking such a face mask a few select brand such as Shu make these masks but with a high price tag.

I was excited to see that the Sephora Brand Power Mask Collection has popped up at Sephora! Wow finally a company within the US was finally jumping on board the face mask craze.


Don't get too excited, read ahead to find out why!

The idea behind the Sephora Brand Powder Mask Collection was quite exciting as I loved the idea of finding masks locally at my Sephora store. Cool!

Three masks are available for use one of which is a face mask that delivers extra moisture to the face! The Muse can always use as much moisture as possible on my face. Also available is an eye mask that also delivers moisture, comfort, and cooling to the eye area.

And finally another face mask option is available that nourishes tired skin and creates a more fresher, newer you!

Are you excited yet? I was.

Until I seen the price.

Umm hello expensive how are you?

The masks are not sold in bulk such as ones from Asian companies which means you're getting a SINGLE mask, ONE time use for a price tag that starts at $8 and ends somewhere at $12.

Come.
On.

Say word!

Even Shu Eye Masks run cheaper at $45 for a box of 8 which adds up to around $5.65 per a mask.

$8??? $12??

Um no my face does not need moisture at that cost! Especially moisture that isn't even from a high end brand name.

Check it:






Needless to say you won't catch these in my cart until they are on clearance for a buck ninety nine. The Muse is all about playing it cheap with these masks! Love the idea, no likey the price.

Lower your prices Sephora and they will come.

Expensive, not to mention scary looking. Don't they realize that futuristic design are a thing of the past?

LOL at your post and pictures! I agree, that is absolutely insane! I'm sure you can find some nice, authentic Asian face masks at your local Asian market for a whole lot cheaper (like a buck ninety nine or something!) The Japanese Shiseido also has nice masks, that's what I've heard.
