Overall I recommend this face mask. This is the third mask from Urban Secrets that I've tried. This and their Chamomile one are my favorites, and this might be better than the Chamomile. (I also tried their Jasmine mask, which I do not recommend.)Scent - It does not have any strong or noticeable scent. If anything, it smells vaguely pleasant."Healthy glow" - I love the way my skin looked after using this mask. The rose mask specifically advertises that it gives a "healthy glow to tired skin", according to the back description. Not sure what that means, but my skin looked great, notably there wasn't as much redness as before use.Quantity - As with all Urban Secrets' masks, a single batch makes a lot. If you wanted to do this with a buddy, you'd have enough for two faces. Since I did this on my own, I covered my full face, all down my throat, and a decent portion of my chest.Preparation - This is prepared the same as all Urban Secrets' masks. It needs to be prepared in a bowl, and it comes with a little plastic stirrer which is useful. Combine the two packages: the powder and the liquid, and mix until combined into an even consistency. It takes a good minute to properly mix it up, but it's easy to do so. Tip: Use scissors to cut open the packages; they tear open, but it's a jagged uneven tear which makes pouring the contents into the bowl dangerously close to messy, so just use scissors.Application - Easy to apply, goes onto skin very smoothly. I use the stirrer to apply it on my skin, it glides right on. The mixture doesn't start drying too quickly, so there isn't a rush to finish applying, but you should still use it immediately after mixing.Feel - When it's on my skin, it has a pleasant cooling feel to it.Removal - Easy to remove. Most of the mask easily peels off as the instructions suggest. Not all though. In places where the mask was applied thinly, like on the edges, it dried to a powder that needed to be taken off with warm water. I personally like taking a shower after using a mask, just to make sure it's all off, but it's not necessary.After serum - The mask comes with a small batch of a "nano hyaluronic serum" which is basically a gel-like moisturizer. I really like this as well, and there's also a lot of this. I covered all the areas where the mask was, and still had enough left over to cover all the areas a second time a few minutes later. It's very soothing, feels great.Value - $12 is a bit much for a single-use mask, even a very nice one.
