Price & Shop 


I received these as sponsored products from BB Cosmetic but all thoughts are my own, as usual. It's sold for $14.49 per piece but you can bring that price down to $13.00 with the affiliated coupon code: C10T190S3 during checkout.

When BB Cosmetic asked me what I wanted from their store to review, I asked for them to suggest new brands from Korea and they sent me three Choonee masks as well as their Choonee lip balms. I've reviewed the lip balms already and am still using the lip balms. Still loving them! <3 

Fit & Texture

The texture of this sheet mask is soft and semi-transparent. The essence is slightly slimy but not too goopy. I tried this mask both cooled in the fridge and not, and both experiences were good. The texture is cooling on its own and the mask sticks to my face pleasingly. 

I've used these four times just to make sure my face wasn't having a bad day but the fit of this mask is just not agreeing with me. The hole for my eyes, especially, is just super uncomfortable (-2). I've ven tried cutting this mask up to make it fit better but no, it just doesn't work. I'm taking off two points just because of what a bad fit this is. It's definitely something that needs to be improved on. I understand that everybody's face is different but I haven't met a sheet mask that can't fit on my face with a little bit of adjusting. It's too-small eye hole and mouth-hole means I'm constantly readjusting the mask to keep it from sliding into my eyes and mouth. I've even tried using my Daiso Silicone Mask over this to make it stay but Nope, it just keeps getting distorted and uncomfortable. 

Why would I still consider repurchasing this if I hated the fit so much? Because it works, that's why. It works almost too well. 


Ingredients


Water, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, PEG/PPG-17/6 Copolymer, Swiftlet Nest Extract, Royal Jelly Extract, Hydrolyzed Elastin, Spirulina Platensis Extract, Undaria Pinnatifida Extract, Morus Alba Bark Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Paeonia Albiflora Root Extract, Sophora Flavescens Root Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Xanthan Gum, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Carbomer, Triethanolamine, Phenoxyethanol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Caprylyl Glycol, Illicium Verum (Anise) Fruit Extract, Disodium EDTA, Fragrance

The only two products to watch out for are Butylne Glycol, Carbomer, & Triethanolamine. Everything seems to be good here, but ymmv. This mask also contains royal jelly extract, morus bark extract, seaweed extract, liquorice extract and peony extract, which are all great things. 


Performance


This Bird's Nest Brightening Mask aims to brighten as well as moisturize your skin. The swiftlet's nest helps heal tired and dry skin since it's known to be rich in proteins, carbohydrates, and various minerals. 

So, did it do what it said it would? Hell yes. Oh my god, all the yes'es! I wished it didn't work so well because I really didn't like how it fit, but I kept coming back to it because I loved how it made my skin feel afterwards. The first time I used this, it moisturized my skin so much the pores on my nose and cheeks were literally gone! It was so ridiculous it was almost magical. The effect, sadly, only lasted for a few hours afterwards but I treasured every second of it. My skin was hydrated for a good while after though!

And have you seen the brightening effect? You can even see the part where the mask stops from the difference in my skin color. It's ridiculous. I'm suffering from a breakout at the moment, so that means no more introducing new sheet masks because it might exacerbate my skin further. I find myself coming back to this because I know my skin likes it. It soothes my breakout somewhat after application, but I think that also aided by the fact that I can't pick on my skin while a mask if over it. 

This mask also comes with a free front hair ribbon that I haven't quit found the use for yet but I always enjoy free gifts. ^^
