This is a two step sheet mask! First you apply the vitamin c ampoule provided, then you apply the mask. The ampoule is a powder in your hand, but once you begin working it into the skin it turns to a liquid. This was as difficult to work with as it sounds! While the powder did turn to liquid, it wasn’t very easily spread. Like at all. I was pretty much only able to get the ampoule on part of my forehead and nose. I really hyped this mask up when I got it in my head, probably because the packaging is cute and I’ve never tried a two step mask, so at this point I am feeling very disappointed.

Once I was done with the ampoule. I reluctantly moved onto the sheet mask- and all my doubts went away. It was love at first touch! This is the softest mask I’ve ever felt, and I really can’t imagine any mask ever being softer! And it was so drenched in a milky essence! The essence had a nice fresh scent. When I put it on, the fit wasn’t too bad and the soft mask felt so pleasant.

After 20 minutes when I took the mask off, I was truly blown away. I was the perfect kind of bright and dewy! Not greasy or oily, just perfectly dewy. This is another mask I wished I used in the morning.

~General Details~

The Entia are an amorphous species, evolved from feral elementals and primal golems. All Entia are made of a crystalline cube "core" and whatever material they were chosen to be. Entia bodies are always humanoid, with the core in the center of their spherical head, which floats just above their torso. The hands and feet of the'r body hover about an inch past their respective limbs. If the Entia's body is made of a translucent material, it's easy to see the core, but otherwise it's always hidden.

Although Entia by all other means would be considered self-sustaining, they do require some sustenance to keep their core healthy and energy to maintain their body. Nutrients can be absorbed from anything that the Entia can hold in their body, and all waste can either be stored or discarded.

Entia reproduce by a rather odd method, which involves pulling a small chunk of the cores from each "parent", then fusing the two pieces together in what will be the new Entia's material. The core is then incubated until it's fully grown, at which point the Entia's body will form from extra energy stored in incubation. Entia are all "born" fully grown, and only need mental maturing afterwards.

Entia populate Earth as any other species does, though in much more diluted numbers. There are only 10 known in Vita City, including the pair who live just outside Southern District of the city.

~Identity~

Since Entia don't reproduce by any biological means, they are by default genderless, though they can adapt themselves if they do decide it fits them. Some do so from birth, some choose a gender then change it later in life, some constantly switch between genders, and some even decide to ignore gender entirely. However, there's one thing about them that can't be changed easily: What material their body is made of.

...Well, "not easy" is a bit of an understatement. The process is extremely precise, and if not done right, it will result in permanent death. In order to change an Entia's material, their core has to be cut EXACTLY in half without any chipping, which in and of itself "temporarily" kills the Entia. After the core is cut, the Entia's body will instantly dissipate. The two halves of the core are then placed in the new material to fuse, and in the process, adopt the new material for the body. After a relatively short healing period, the Entia's body generates as the new material. This entire process is very dangerous, though. If the Entia's core is not cut exactly in half, it will shatter, killing them. If the core does not fuse correctly, the Entia's new body will be deformed, and the process will have to be attempted again.

This process also spawns another subject: Chimera Entia. Chimera Entia happen if half on one Entia's core is fused with half on another's. If this happens, the new body will either be a mix of both Entia's materials, an entirely new material crafted from the two base materials, or a volatile concoction which will instantly explode once the body starts to generate. Only two living Chimera Entia are known to exist. One is half iron, half oak wood, whose body is a swirl of both materials. The other is an as-of-yet onobserved material, which was formed in the fusion of a Gold Entia and a Plasma Entia. When isolated, this material is softer and less conductive than gold, but has a much higher melting point.

~Theoretical Entia~

Scientists studying the Entia have thought of several theoretical variations, each with varying levels of possibility.

Void Entia: An Entia fused and incubated in a pure vacuum. This Entia would be almost invisible, save for their core. Any absorbed materials would act as though they were in an empty vacuum, which could help with studying them. However, since there's presently no known void close enough to Earth, and there is no known way to produce one, these Entia are considered impossible for now.

Antimatter Entia: If an Entia is fused and incubated in antimatter, the result would be both volatile and unsustainable. Physically, the Entia's body would be fine... until they were to try absorbing something. At that point, the contact between matter and antimatter would cause an explosion that would instantly destroy anything within the blast radius. Since there would be so much antimatter from the Entia's body, the blast would likely vaporize Earth and the nearest planet, at the very least. Needless to say, this Entia will stay theoretical.

One thing to note: The body of an Entia is entirely self-contained. As such, Magma Entia wouldn't set everything on fire, a Void Entia wouldn't instantly start sucking all matter into itself, etc.
