Black Rose Cream Mask

Before now, the only time the brand Sisley was on my lips was to cringe at the high price tag. Even in duty free (and Coscto!) the cost seems wildly out of line with what's inside the bottle. Lucky me, due to some strategic sampling, I got to try the Black Rose Cream Mask. I kept my sample packet in the fridge, as I like my masks to be soothing and cold when possible. I used the whole sample packet (treat yo' self!) and really slathered the mask on. The texture and scent were a very luxurious sensory experience, but the proof of skincare is in the results, right? I've always heard people saying their skin "drank up" a product; I thought it was just a hyperbole. With the Black Rose mask, my face literally drank it, absorbed it, whatever. But after about 15 minutes of relaxing, there was a small bit of product left to tissue off/rub in, and my skin looked GORGEOUS. Like porcelain! If I had the budget, or a gift card, I would buy the full size mask. I'm almost hoping I DON'T get the chance to sample more Sisley product, if they're all this good, it's more temptation I don't need ;)

I'll be purchasing this from Nordstrom soon, but first bought this in a duty-free store in the Barcelona airport. I use this as a moisturizer after I get out of the shower on those days when I'd like some help reclaiming five years or so for my face. The smell and texture are fabulous. Don't follow the instructions and "towel off the extra"--if you don't use too much, everything will melt right into your skin. Why waste any of this? If you use this weekly instead of daily, a tube can last many, many months.

The ingredients listed on the Nordstrom app are not the same ingredients on the actual box. I was very disappointed when I received my shipment. I purchased their mascara and eyeliner also and I encountered the same dilemma for each product. I guess I have to be careful when it only lists “active ingredients”.

I've tried this mask two ways: once as instructed and once my way! The first application was followed to the letter - a thick layer left on for 10-15 minutes and then wiped away with a tissue, or cotton pad in my case, as was out of tissues. Results: this seemed to me an excessive use of product. I did notice a slight glow and definitely an increase in hydration but that was to be expected as there is a lot of shea butter in here along with other humectants to help the skin retain moisture. The following night I tried it my way: a thinner layer - maybe half the amount I'd used the previous night. I let it sink into my skin for about 5 minutes and then went to sleep. Results in the morning were good: dewy and slightly glowing skin, and even better moisture retention compared to the previous nights' application. And more importantly a lot less product used! Of course beauty brands would love for us consumers to "use a thick layer and wipe away the excess" - that works out much better for their stock turnaround! But unless you have very sensitive skin, there is absolutely no reason why you can't leave this on for an hour, or even overnight. The ingredients are almost identical to a rich night cream. All in all it's a good hydrating mask, much better than some of the other Sisley masks I've tried, but not sure I would repurchase in a hurry at this price. -> My ‘Nordstrom Beauty Top 7 must-have list’ (thought it might be useful to share my 7 favorite beauty products of all time, focusing mainly on my purchases at Nordstrom) <- < 1.

I rarely rave this much about a skin care product, but I can really see the results of this mask. I put it on before bedtime and leave it on all night. The directions say to wipe off the excess, but I just use a small amount and leave it on. It is not a mask that hardens--it's creamy. I love everything about it--the fragrance, the consistency, and the feel. Pricey, but great!

This mask delivers as promised, especially instant results and immediate benefits. I put the light pink crème gel on about 15 minutes before a shower and let it absorb. I was amazed at how fantastic my skin looked and felt after I washed it off. Smooth, wrinkle free, no redness, even tone, clear, luminous, refreshed, soft. Has a light rose scent, a little goes a long way. Luxurious skin treat.

I love this mask! I have tried many.( either through buying them,or through getting them through Nordstrom's " samples. Thanks to two or. Three samples I chose at checkout ( while Nordstrom was offering "samples" , I was sold on this mask. It is light,and leaves your face radiant ,before even continuing to your beauty regimen! It's pricey,but I truly recommend. I have learned through time ,that finding the.right product ,is much less pricey than buying and buying the wrong product that you will end up putting in the garbage in a year or so,anyway! As described ,it doesn't matter what brand you use after this treatment.No more " mask fishing" for me,I am sold! I'm in my late 40s and this is a perfect mask for me!!

I read about this particular face mask in a bridal magazine, and the catch phrase used to entice readers to give it a try was "Could Hydrate the Sahara". I had my doubts, but with itchy, red and extremely dry skin in the dead of winter, I decided to give it a try. I am so happy I did. I use it every other night as a face cream rather than a mask, and it leaves my skin feeling supple and looking bright. The subtle rose scent is an added bonus. I couldn't be happier. I will purchase again and again.

I read many reviews about this product before considering buying it. The price is a little steep. Now that I have used it 3-4 times I can honestly say it is worth every penny. You don't need a lot of product. I tend to use it as my night moisturizer and don't rinse it off. My skin feels soft and dewy in the morning. So glad I purchased it and would recommend it to anyone who has dry sensitive skin. It's worth the splurge!

This cream smells wonderful and seemed so creamy and lovely until my face broke out after the first use. Maybe it was an allergic reaction. I never experience this with Decleor!

As a busy, athletic guy, I hate to waste time fussing with this stuff on a regular basis. Tried other products for men, but was not impressed. I use Sisley's foaming face wash, toner, and scrub and love them. Tried this based on suggestion from Nordstrom and LOVE IT. SO easy to use and the results are incredible.

I have been looking for a new moisturizing mask and ordered this one without trying it first. It's okay, but definitely not the best I've tried for the price. I returned it.
