It's been such a long time since my last post, but I've just been so busy with school lately, especially with grad school apps and interviews going on. I've been keeping track of all the products I've been using, but they're all just sitting pretty in my drafts. Hopefully I'll be able to get those posted soon...
Anyways... onto the main reason for this post.
I've always been a long time lurker of the r/AsianBeauty subreddit and when someone posted about the 50 Leaders masks for $50 on masksheets, I couldn't help myself and bought the set right away. I've been masking a ton lately, mostly as a form of stress relief, so I imagine going through these masks pretty fast (especially since I seem to have gotten a lot of family and friends into masking and have suddenly turned into an Oprah of sheet masks for them).
This was very much an impulse buy, and in hindsight I wish I looked up each individual mask before purchasing the box. As I was looking through the masks, I realized they weren't masks that my skin really needed other than Moisture and Clearing. I still don't think its a bad purchase though, especially with the holidays right around the corner. I will probably end up sharing some of these masks with friends and family.
As you can see above, the 50 masks for $50 deal was for a variety of 5 boxes, each box having 10 sheets.

Review
Fit:
I've never really had an issue with how Leaders masks fit. It stops right at my hairline on my forehead and there's maybe about an inch of mask that folds under the chin. Unless you have a larger than normal forehead, then this will probably fit most people just fine. I did ding it half a star since I felt that it stop just a tiiiiny bit short on the nose, but otherwise a great fitting mask.
Essence:
Each mask comes with 25mL of essence so it's a pretty juicy mask. The essence is clear and on the mask feels very jelly-like and thick. I can easily wear this mask for about 40 minutes till I start to feel it drying. When I felt the mask start to dry, I just remoistened it with the leftover essence from the bag to prolong wear time. It does dry a bit sticky on the face, but it might just be because I wore it for such a long time.
The Moisture mask essence is noticeably oilier than the other masks. I usually have to rinse my hands after placing the mask on if I need to work and touch other things like my laptop, etc.

Mask Quality:
According to masksheets.com, the masks are made out of cotton. These are great to use on the plane since they're pretty transparent when it's on your face, meaning you're less likely to scare your neighbors (unless your neighbors are your family members who also mask with you ^^).
Scent:
I don't love them, but I don't hate them either. I'm pretty sensitive to scents so I hate things that have strong scents, fortunately none of the masks in this set were like that. With the exception of the Pore-Tight mask, all the masks smell pretty similar. The Pore-Tight mask kinda has this weird chemical smell that I didn't like that much, but I got used to it after a couple minutes.
Overall:
Other than my face being noticeably stickier and slightly more moisturized, I didn't notice too much of a difference with my skin immediately after each use.
I'm a night-time masker and usually masks are not moisturizing enough and I'll wake up with a dry patch here or there, but the moisture in these masks carry on well into the morning, which is really nice.
