Hello there!
I was really impressed with the yellow mask from this brand, so I jumped at the chance to try some of their other products when I saw them on sale.
This one caught my eye because of the blueberry and rose description - it sounded like a great combo.

Where I bought it and the price.
I picked it up on Lenta for around 43-44 rubles, which was a fantastic deal by any stretch.

The packaging.
The outside design is really nice and simple - a great color scheme with mostly blue and white that's easy on the eyes. The blueberry image is pretty nice too.
It's not as eye-catching as the yellow mask's packaging, but it's still a nice presentation.
Text is easy to read against the blue background, which is a plus.
There's some basic info on the back, which is about what you'd expect.
Overall, the packaging is pretty presentable - it does the job without any fuss.

The description.
The formula with natural ingredients effectively removes early signs of aging and fatigue, restores natural collagen and elastin production. The unique blueberry extract restores optimal moisture levels in cells. Apple prevents dehydration and loss of tone, maintaining healthy skin. Hyaluronic acid complex protects skin from free radicals, moisturizes, and improves skin tone. Berries are a powerful vasoconstrictor, making them essential for preventing rosacea and caring for sensitive skin. The fabric mask is suitable for any skin type, and using it as a course can enhance its effectiveness.

The description is really detailed and promising - you'd expect a great effect from reading all that, but I was a bit skeptical.
After reading so much, I was definitely looking forward to a great experience, but I wasn't sure if it would live up to the hype.

The design.
The design is pretty bad - it's not proportional, and it's a real pain to get it to lie flat without any wrinkles.
I even had to ask my husband for help to get it to lie flat, which is just not what you want from a product.
You'll need to fiddle with it to get it to look somewhat normal, which is just a hassle.

Using it.
I'm glad it doesn't leave a sticky residue, so I didn't feel any discomfort while it was on my skin.
It feels nice on my skin, and I can feel the moisturizing effect, which is exactly what I'm looking for in a mask.
The blueberry scent is basically nonexistent - it's got a light, non-overpowering scent, which is pretty common for masks.
I left it on for 15-20 minutes as instructed, which is a standard amount of time for a face mask.
After using it, I felt good - there was a sense of moisturization and freshness, which was nice.
The essence absorbed well without any discomfort, which is always a plus.

The effect.
The next day, the moisturizing effect was pretty minimal, and it felt like it wasn't enough - I was a bit disappointed.
Before, during, and after:
Later on, after a few days, I could finally assess the effect properly, and I have to say that it wasn't all that impressive.
My skin wasn't super dry, but I still felt some dryness, so I'd say the mask had a minimal effect, which was a bit of a letdown.
I didn't notice any significant toning or color improvement either, which was a bit disappointing.
After a few days:
As you can see, my skin is pretty dehydrated, which is exactly what I was trying to avoid.

Verdict.
This mask is just okay - it's pretty mediocre, and I wouldn't say it's worth the price.
But I've definitely seen worse, so it's not all bad.
