FACETory November 2018 Unboxing

It is time for another FACETory Post! This month, I’ll be going through the FACETory November 2018 SEVEN-Lux box for you. If you do not know what FACEtory is, it is a face mask subscription service created by women in California who just LOVE sheet masks. Recently, these ladies have begun to launch their own masks. Branded by FACETory, these masks are all for different skin conditions and treat various issues. These masks come in the subscription and can be purchased from the FACETory shop. For the subscription, FACETory offer 2 packages:

• FOUR-Ever Fresh
• SEVEN-Lux

As you can probably guess, the Four-Ever Fresh box has 4 sheet masks for you to try every month, and the Seven-Lux box has 7 in it. Besides having 7 masks, the SEVEN-Lux set also has higher quality masks than the FOUR-Ever Fresh set. As I can usually burn through about 20 sheet masks in a month, 4 is far too few for my sheet mask loving face. So, I get the SEVEN-Lux box. Personally, I will try any and all sheet masks. I  rarely find ones that I don’t like. They’re a fast and easy way to pamper yourself. If you want to see previous boxes I’ve received, you can do so here.

Final Thoughts

One of the main things that I love about FACETory is that they shift the focus ingredients of their masks based off of the time of year. In this set, there are lots of ingredients that are for hydrating and calming irritation, which you can easily get from the winter winds. So, I’m quite satisfied with the masks I got this month. They’ll be great to beat the winter weather.

If you are just getting into K-Beauty, and are completely intimidated by the saturation of the market with sheet masks, this is an excellent place to start. Wny? Because they do all the work for you! All you have to do is pay money, and wait for the mail. Honestly, I haven’t found one that I don’t like yet from them! Here’s a link if you want to try it out.
