I've bought many costumes and masks over the years, some cheap, some very elaborate, so I know how deceptive the product images can sometimes be. At this price, I figured this mask was worth the gamble, but I have to admit that I didn't expect it to look quite as perfect as it does in the picture. Needless to say I was very pleasantly surprised when this little gem arrived! It's really very beautiful and looks remarkably just like the photo!

I ordered this for a quick and inexpensive Halloween option. The box it came in was small, but the way it was placed in the package kept it perfectly safe. Mine arrived with the same black colored glitter-glue accent design. Nice and subtle, but adds some glam. There are 3 medium-size peacock feathers on the left side (while wearing), accented by some black feathers that curl up and outward so that they easily sit in front of your hair.

The mask doesn't align to my profile like a glove (nor did I expect it to for the price), but once it is pulled tight it adheres to my face and certainly isn't uncomfortable. The inner side doesn't have any scratchy or slick material, rather it is clad in fabric, so you don't find yourself itchy or your skin sweating right away.

The ribbon I suppose could be considered a bit of a pain compared to normal elastic ties, but to be honest I prefer this as elastic bands can often be too tight, too lose, and just too irritating, not to mention ugly. This mask's satin ribbon is attractive, so it adds a bit of elegance.

I love masks - having purchased handcrafted designs for up to $500 (yes, that's how much I love them). This of course doesn't look like an expensive handcrafted mask, but it is also MUCH more attractive than the average cheap costume mask. This design makes a sleek and sexy accent to a costume or I could even see myself wearing it with a black cocktail dress to the right New Year's party.

The best part of this purchase... This little beauty is a steal for the price! I highly recommend trying it out! :)
