Confused about air flow

Hi all, So yesterday I got the replacement full face mask for the cheap one my therapist provided - it's a DreamWear Full Face CPAP Mask with Headgear. It seems to fit fine and is nice and light etc, but I had to take it off after several minutes because it was blowing a gale-force wind up my nose. ...

The first night was crappy, with lots of adjusting and not being able to sleep, generally being very aware of the mask....
