Garnier Hydra Bomb Pomegranate Tissue Mask Review

Was absolutely delighted to try this sheet mask, I've tried a couple of different ones that I've received in beauty boxes and they've been ok but mostly have korean instructions so I've never really known if I've done it right, lol Anyway the instructions on the Hydra Bomb mask were clear as and i found it super easy. I wasn't so sure on the blue sheet on top of the mask thou i don't see what purpose it really has. There is quite a lot of product on the mask which i thought was quite nice and i rubbed it in down my neck and the excess onto the back of my hands. the mask maybe needs to be a little bigger it was quite small around the eye area but i did manage to make it work and im not sure why there were slits on the edge of the cheeks? 15 minutes later i removed the mask and i decided i might just rub the excess into my skin and leave it on. It didnt take to long to dry and i ended up sleeping with the excess on overnight. Morning time and i wash it off and my skin feels great, a little plumper around the fine lines around my eyes and im quite a happy little chappy. I really enjoyed the mask even my hubby was like "that smells nice" i do recommend trying it at night as then you can leave it a bit longer and i felt the smell was quite relaxing. Definitely will purchase these, i think they will be great over summer when my skin needs extra hydration.

Firstly, I really like the RRP - $5 for a good quality mask is fantastic! Secondly, the packaging is great & the instructions are explained well. Upon opening the product I could immediately tell it was sitting in plenty of liquid, I took a mental note to retain the packet containing excess liquid for use afterwards. It was a little messy unfolding the mask and applying it to my face but after some rearranging I managed to get it sitting pretty flat and then easily removed the protective film (which is only loosely attached). Once the film was off I probably spent 5 minutes trying to get it to sit as close to perfect as I was able to get it. There are cuts in the mask so you can adjust it to the contours of your face, however I couldnt get it to sit on my nose without lifting from the sides. They recommend you leave it on for 15 minutes but I felt that wasn't long enough as the mask was still very wet after that amount of time. I left it on for close to 40 minutes, that was when the mask felt dryish to touch. I then removed it and rubbed in any liquid that remained on my face. It was then that I took the excess liquid remaining in the packet and applied that to my décolletage & arms. After maybe 5 minutes my skin felt completely dry and it auctually did look radiant. I think the product does as it says & kept my skin hydrated for 24 hours.

Firstly I love the packaging, eye catching and refreshing.

The mask is easy to apply, once you take the blue layer off you can stretch and manipulate the mask to fit perectly to your face. It stsys put and feels refreshing.

The scent is very nice. It is fresh with a hint of sweetness.

I left the mask on for 15 minutes and my face felt smooth and refreshed. I was pleasantly surprised that my skin looked radient and even like it claimed to. I didnt feel like my skin was hydrated tho and needed to add moisturizer. All and all I am happy with my results and with longer term use I think the results would be amazing.

I've always been the type to shy away from masks/facial cleansers anything to do with cleansing, reason being I have very sensitive skin. When I was invited to trial the product I was at first weary but also thought it would be the best opportunity to finally break away from the bad habit and finally give my opinion.

Absolutely loved the packaging, very conveniant to use and easy to apply, as required I waited 15mins to let it work its magic, I was very happy with the end result, my skin was left firm, smooth and hydrated!!! The mask was refreshing and and smelt amazing!!! Would definitely use again

I really enjoyed using this mask. It has a pleasant, fruity scent, not at all chemically, and heaps of serum. It comes folded up and I struggled a bit unfolding it, as it was so covered in product, but once applied it was comfortable and fit my face well. I left it on for 15 minutes and afterwards there was a ton of product still left. I rubbed it into my face and neck and it felt sticky for about 5 minutes after.

Afterwards my skin looked noticeably more smooth, dewy and hydrated. I used this mask at night and in the morning my skin was visibly more hydrated than usual. I don't use sheet masks very often, but will probably pick this mask up again. I would recommend this if you like a sheet mask with lots of serum!

Appearance - the pack looks quite appealing, bright & colourful Fragrance - Was expecting a strong fragrance. But to my surprise, the fragrance was was mildly pleasant. Not too overpowering. The mask - It was easy to apply but removing the blue film was not so easy. There was a lot of serum on the mask. When I removed the mask, I rubbed the serum on my face & neck with a cotton. The skin felt firm and soft, as well as hydrated.

The only negative about this mask was removing the blue film. Apart from that, I enjoyed it. Its been 4 days since I used the mask, and the skin still feels soft & firm. I would use it again.

​I am a big fan of Korean sheet masks so I was keen to see how an offering from a cosmetics giant would compare. The pack itself was easy to open but I found the mask a little harder to unfold than other sheet masks I have tried which do not have the blue plastic backing sheet. In fact, I couldn't really see any benefit to the blue plastic sheet as for me it made the mask more difficult to apply and it seems a little wasteful. All of the product remained on the sheet though and with other sheet masks I have tried there is a lot of extra serum left in the packet. The holes in the mask seemed a little small to start with but I stretched the mask out using the slits on the side of it. These confused me a bit at first as I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do with these - pop them over my ears, maybe? Nope, that wasn't going to work.

The mask felt really cool and refreshing when it was on. I didn't want to take it off when the fifteen minutes was up. It didn't drip at all. There was still a lot of serum left on my face when I removed it which I lightly patted in and then allowed it to dry. It did feel quite sticky so it is best used at night. It did dry down after an hour or so and my skin looked plump and yes, those fine lines seemed to have been somewhat diminished. The next morning my skin still looked plump but I do feel like it would have benefited from putting a moisturiser over top before going to bed. It did feel like I was washing the remains of the serum off in the morning but my skin still felt soft and supple afterwards.

I found this mask comparable with its Korean counterparts in performance and price. At $4.99 it isn't something I would do three times a week as suggested by the trial quoted on the pack and there are some cheaper sheet masks available. What is great about this mask is that is it easily accessible from the supermarket meaning it can just fall into your trolley with the weekly shop!

I was lucky enough to trial this mask, having never tried a tissue mask before. The mask when first applied was very cold, but did feel refreshing, and it warmed as I sat back and relaxed and let it do its magic. I left it on for about 20 minutes, and once the tissue was removed, I gently massaged the residue into my face and neck. About an hour later, I noticed that my skin appeared smoother and moisturised. I put my usual night cream on before bed and next morning, my skin definitely looked hydrated, and I would certainly use it again, especially if I had a special function.

I love being pampered and putting masks on comes into this category. Although it's not something I do a lot, it's something I look forward to. So I was really looking forward to trying this.

The mask comes in a blue funky wrapper and it just looks like it will be relaxing.

I open the mask and I slowly and carefully apply to my face. It says to leave for 15 mins so I go and relax. It's gentle and doesn't sting my sensitive skin.

The smell is very subtle, which is nice. It just smells fresh and pleasant. After the time is up I take the mask off my face. My skin feels hydrated and soft. It's quite nice and makes my skin feel moisturized and makes it look healthy and rejuvenated. After a while I do notice my skin looks refreshed and the texture has improved. A nice mask!

I was lucky enough to be chosen to trial this mask. I have dry skin, and I have been using masks once a week for the past few months for extra hydration. I wanted to trial this mask because the ones I have been using I have purchased online, and I was interested in trialling one I can get locally.

Unlike other tissue masks I have used, this one comes with a protective film. You apply the mask to your face while the film is on the outside. The film makes it very hard to position the mask on your face. Once it is off, the mask is much easier to position, but is still a bit bunch and saggy around the eyes and nose.

The mask feels wonderfully cool and soothing, and would feel lovely on at the end of a hot day. I wore mine for 20 minutes. The instructions say that you can either wipe of the excess product, or massage it into your skin. I massaged it in.

My skin felt moisturised and refreshed after wearing this mask. I can see myself buying this mask in future and using it again.
