[Review] Fresh Rose Face Mask

I believe this was a 100 points perk from Sephora. As Fresh products are relatively pricey, I figure I could drop some points on trying this. This retails for $72CAD at Sephora and comes in 3.4oz

Fresh claims that this is "a hydrating and toning mask with a cooling gel formula infused with pure rosewater and real rose petals". 

What it is formulated to do:
Historically romantic and classically fragrant, the rose flower yields a precious oil brimming with nutrients that naturally soothe the skin and stimulate the senses. Infused with 50 percent pure rosewater and an average of two-and-a-half roses per jar, this unique mask restores radiance and suppleness to all skin types. The addition of cucumber extract and aloe vera reduce inflammation and calm the skin, while green tea helps brighten and protect. 

It looks like this:

It's very liquidy - to the point where I had to take this photo straight down instead of tilting the jar slightly. Trying to focus the camera with this mask threatening to spill out was not what I wanted. There are also little rose petals(?) bits in the mask as well. They're very soft upon the skin.

It has a watery consistency on my hand but did not slip as much as it did in the jar. 

This is what it looks like when smoothed out over my hand.

What I like about this mask is that it absorbs very quickly. Just by spreading it on my hand, and in the time it took for me to spread it, take photos, turn the camera off, and head to the washroom, it had already started absorbing itself into my hand. Fresh says you're supposed to leave it on your skin for 15-20 minutes, but I think you could just leave it on for longer and just have it all absorbed into your skin. It has a very strong rose scent. Not your typical floral perfume scent. It's a strong rose scent.

It's also very moisturizing, but in a way that's only instant and superficial. This is something you'd have to use long term to see permanent or long lasting results. If you are looking for a quick moisture boost though, this works perfectly. I'm just not sure you could justify spending $72CAD when there are cheaper moisture wash off masks/mask sheets everywhere else.  

Would I purchase a full size of this? No.
