I'm not really sure this mask is as metallic as it says it is...  The mask itself feels metallic on top but is a sturdy white mask with glitter speckled plastic underneath.  Also, laser cut sounds fancy but I'm not impressed.  It's got quite a few rough edges that I may attempt to sand out later but its only on the top layer.  It's not rough where the mask meets the skin.

The ornate frilly stuff surrounding the eyes is a thin metal that bends very easily and is wired (literally, the wire is drawn through the frill & mask and coiled to hold it in place) but it didn't seem to hurt when I wore the mask for 20 minutes.  I will probably cover the coils with sheepskin leftover from my ballet shoes, regardless.  It sits a little low for me, but I think I can maneuver it to match better. It should be wearable all night long for the masquerade...I hope.

Also, this mask says it is not a toy (and I agree!), even though it's under a toys review.  It would break too easily for a toy.

Overall it's very pretty and I know I will look awesome in it, but it is not the quality I expected for $40.
