Thank you @Aaliaa for starting this thread, and giving us a place to share our love for masks💗

@ather, it's really good. I anticipated some tackiness, which would have been fine by me, but none. Just some good hydration! 😍 If you can't find it, let me know. 

[ather]

@itsfi  Sooo good. My skin responds so good to that line!!!  I’m sure Amazon has it!!!

[itsfi]

Mine too @ather. Which products from the line have you tried?

[ather]

@itsfi  The cream and the essence!!! So good! 

[itsfi]

Ahhh, both good products @ather! 👍🏼 My skin really likes the essence. ♥️

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  Biocellulose, great results and cute packaging sounds wonderful to me! Mediheal makes some solid masks! 
..... and how cute is that snowman?! ⛄️

I've been wanting to try that CosRx mask for awhile now - I'm just waiting until I make more of a dent in my collection before I buy more. This one sounds great! I thought the cream was a bit more stringy than the essence, but I actually don't mind it - a stringy mask seems like it could messy though, so I'm glad to hear this wasn't  😉🐌

[itsfi]

@Shosh85, Mediheal makes a couple of masks that I keep 10 packs of - just soooo good. ♥️ 

The snowman ⛄️ was from a “quick” trip to Target last month. 😂 He wasn’t on my shopping list but I just couldn’t resist! 

100% understand about needing to make a dent in your stash first. It will happen. There will always been great sheet masks out there! 

[lmaster]

Love BTS @itsfi the new song with Coldplay is sooooo good!!! Ohhh I have not tried the sheet mask version of the cosrx 

[itsfi]

Yes @lmaster, another winning collaboration! I see that they have a collab with Laneige and one of its lip balm. I wonder if it means a possible sheet mask collab, either with Laneige or with another of the AmorePacific brands? 

I think CosRX redid their sheet masks a couple of years ago. I’ve only recently come across this one.

[lmaster]

I did see that!! @itsfi so cool!!

[CookieGirl1]

That little heart mask is so cute, @itsfi!  Also, thanks for your feedback on the CosRX; I keep thinking that I want to try something from the brand but as you've said, I hear a lot of feedback that a lot of their products have a sticky consistency so maybe this would be a good place to start.

[itsfi]

It’s adorable, isn’t it @CookieGirl1?! If I had tried it when I first received it, I would have picked up more. 

The serum in the CosRX sheet mask is definitely the least viscous / stringy / sticky than the essence and cream from the line. The essence from the line has a consistency that I think feels more like a serum or ampoule. The product in the sheet mask feels more like a traditional essence in consistency, maybe even more like a toner  - thin, watery. If you’re interested in trying something from the line, this would be a good starting point, especially if stickier textures are not something you like or are familiar with. 

[eshoe]

Wait, there is a sheet mask tucked into that little blue heart, @itsfi? A biocellulose one, no less? I passed in those without reading too much about them as they looked like sleeping mask packs🤦🏻‍♀️ Your description sounds so much better than that!

On the CosRx Essence, yes…that was a little too stringy for my comfort. But my skin sure loved it. The sheet mask sounds lovely, even that herbal-citrus scent seems above par and definitely worth a try👍🏼

[itsfi]

@eshoe, the Mediheal x BTS mask is one of the best biocellulose masks I’ve used. The changes in bio-cell masks with the new technologies have been really good. 

You might really like the CosRX snail sheet mask. I didn’t find the essence from this line to be too stringy or viscous. The cream definitely much more so but I was fine with it. The sheet mask has a watery, slightly runny essence (typical of many sheet masks) so it would probably feel a lot more comfortable for you. 

[eshoe]

Well yes, those both sound lovely, @itsfi. I am still using what I suppose could be considered ‘3G’ technology biocell masks 😂  

[itsfi]

@eshoe, the 3G ones are also good! 👍🏼 I’m just recently becoming more aware of the newer 4G ones when I pull them out of the packet, as opposed to having one on and thinking to myself “this feels different…” 😂 

[nuinui933]

@itsfi  the heart and snowman are so cute. It's too bad they are discontinued. I know a few friends who would have loved to have tried them. I tried a travel size of the snail essence and liked it a lot. Will have to look for these sheet masks.

[itsfi]

@nuinui933, the Mediheal x BTS masks would have made excellent gifts - the packaging is really cute and the mask performs well! The collab was for a limited time.

If you have a chance to try the CosRX snail mask, definitely go for it! There’s a lot of extra serum in the packet. 

[Kim888]

Yay sounds like an excellent masking sesh @itsfi !!!! That heart is the cutest packaging ever !!!

[itsfi]

@Kim888, this is the first time I’ve seen a sheet mask packages this way - a great idea! 💙💚💜
