This post first published on my former blog The Golden Honeycomb on 19 December 2019.

On her way discovering the world, Birdy reached the Orange forest, which is located somewhere humans call Netherlands. „Should I enter? Oh, it is full of not the ordinary animals from a zoo…

…but of magic animals and creatures.

Something like this

And she went into the forest.

During the journey the magic air and plants aromas irritated her skin and it became dull and red and tired. „Ohhhhhh, I have to rescue my skin, but has this forest an own Sephora shop?“

Suddenly she saw something like a wooden cabin. Oh, there’s smoething over there!

A .

Knock, knock.

Suddenly she heard an angry grumbling: „Who is there?“  Birdy raised her head and saw a squirrel watching her  top down.

„What are you doing here?“ – the squirrel went on angrily. „Why are you disturbing me?“

Birdy thought: „OMG! A speaking forest creature!“, and said: „Hi, nice to meet you, Squirrel, I am Birdy.“

The squirrel began to speak and said: „Birdy, what do you want here?“

Birdy asked: „Who are you? What is it for a place here?“

„Well,  I guess you must see a suirrel in front of you and the wooden cabin there is the Juice Lab hut.“ – said the squirrel and put on a turtleneck-sweater.

Birdy: „Juice what??? What is it here? And how can you speak?“

Squirrel: „We’re the inhabitants of this forest which is full of miracles. And now get out of here, I am resting.“

Birdy: „Can I expect an apology?.“

Squirrel: „What for? Look Birdy, though I am wearing a turtleneck-sweater, I don’t think I should apologise. Ok, come on, if you have questions ask me now. Come into the hut.“

And Birdy went into the forest hut.

Birdy: „What is Juice Lab?“

Squirrel: „Juice Lab is a creation of Starskin the great sage of the Orange forest. He saw the human girls struggling with skin problems and decided to create an elixir to help them to get a healthier and glowing skin.“

Birdy: „And? Was he successful?“

Squirrel: „Yes, he was. He established his lab in 2015 according to the human era. He began to cooperate with the wise sages from the kingdom of Joseon that humans call South Korea. They’re well known to be the best if it comes to skin care. Together they created many elixirs for the whole body; for face, hands, feet and even hair.“

Birdy: „Where can I get them?“

Squirrel: „You can find us in the socalled online world humans like to live in: https://starskin.com/“

Birdy: „Please, tell me more about!“

Squirrel: „All our elixirs are free from parabens, phthalates, mineral oils, sulphates and synthetic dyes. Furthemore we respect nature and don’t tortue animals. We even got a Peta-certification from humans for being cruelty-free.“

Birdy: „That sounds great!“

Squirrel: „Since then we were innovative enough to develope unique and high quality non-water based formulations enriched with best components the nature has given us.“

…

Squirrel: „Birdy, I saw your skin and I want to give you a gift, one of our magic elixirs that will help you to restore your skin’s health. Come, we’ll brew this potion together. Open the scroll with the ingredients.“

Birdy: „What is it exactly?“

Squirrel: „It’s a DIY sheet mask which has 2 sachets. One with the sheet and one with serum elixir. You should pour the elixir in the sachet with the sheet to infuse it with the serum. Once the sheet is saturated enough take it out and place on your face. Leave it for 15 minutes and then remove and don’t rinse after.“

Birdy: „Oh, this sheet is strange, it’s full of dark yellow dots!“

Squirrel: „Look, Birdy. both two parts of this mask contain vitamin C. The Power C Activator Serum is enriched with vitamins A, K and C, antioxidants and phytonutrients. Meet the key ingredients:

This is Broccoli

And the Carrot

And this is… Kale! Kale! we have a guest. Say hello!

Our sweet couple

Squirrel: „The dots in the sheet are in reality vitamin C pieces, these are freeze-dried 75% Vitamin C dots which should be activated with the Power C Activator Serum. Together they regenerate, activate cell renewal, fight free radicals to slow down skin aging for a healthy, younger and radiant skin.“

Birdy: „Do you have another elixirs similar to this one?“

Squirrel: „Yes, there’re two more masks in the range. One pink berry based mask for hydrating and refreshing with Raspberry, Blackberry, Blueberry, Açaí Berry plus Lentil. The other one for balancing and inner-calming contains Wheat Sprout, Celery, Avocado, Pear and Kohlrabi. If you want, come and visit me some day and we can make them together.“

Birdy: „Our brew is ready!“

Squirrel: „Take it, Birdy and return to your place. The big window over there is your way back home.“

And Birdy went through the window and found herself in the real world again.

OMG! This was a day dream! And I’m holding the Juice Lab sheet mask. Can’t wait to try it out!

The mask itself. Front.

Back

The vitamin C dots.

The sheet

First, separate the sachets.

Then peel the black stripe.

Open the sachet with the serum

Put the serum’s sachet in the opening of the sheet mask’s sachet and let the serum pour into it untill the sheet is well saturated with the serum.

Take the sheet out and put on your face for 15 minutes, then remove. Ready!

Experience

The sheet is a bit thicker than of Korean masks, but suits well for european face and is pleasant to wear. There is enough serum to infuse the whole sheet, so within a couple of seconds the sheet is ready saturated. The serum is watery and smells of vinegar.

After applying it starts tu burn on the skin slightly. The producer itself claims that it can be tingling for a while. No wonder it is full of vitamin C and other antioxidants! This is the reason why after removing the sheet the skin is a bit red. After removing the sheet my skin was sandy, because the dots are in reality pressed together little seeds., but if you wipe them away you wipe the serum with. I simply put the moisturizer over.

Feeling after: the skin is very well moisturized, feels fresh and powered with energy again. As to anti-aging qualities, I’ve noticed it makes the skin plumper.

I’m writing this review just after applying and I couldn’t notice any irritations or allergic reaction so far. Also couldn’t see the promised brightening effect.

Conclusion

Very good energizing and antioxidative mask. I’m very pleased and would like to try out the other two also. As to brightening and long lasting effect I think it should be applied regularly 2-3 times a week for a month or two.  The mask is very strong enough not to put a serum over and be careful and apply after it a mild moisturizer rather than thicker creams.

Highly recommend for oily/combination skin, for aging skin. People with dry and sensitive skin better do a test with the serum on elbow.

Wanna definitely repurchase again.
