My Thoughts:

Spoiler
This is one of the first roll of sheet masks I tried years ago and they used to sell these at ULTA (no longer do) so I stocked up on them previously and have a couple on hand left. This mask is my favorite type of sheet mask textures, a bio-cellulose mask. This mask comes pre-packaged in a "sandwich" method between two cloth-like sheets and it's necessary to peel away BOTH cloths on each side. I can see how this can be confusing especially because the bio-cellulose material clings onto the cloth and appears as if it is the intended sheet mask. From some reviews of this mask, its clear that the user only peeled away one of the cloths so I figured it would be helpful to include in my review for those that may become interested in this mask. Currently, it's available on Amazon, Walmart and select indie/niche masking sites. I must say that in comparison to your average, run of the mill type of mask, this mask is a bit on the pricey side-I believe it retails for about $8/each mask. Upon opening it, it's noticeably saturated and comes soaked in a generous amount of serum. Unlike most masks, I don't think this is fragranced at all because I don't pick up any scent from it. As mentioned, this is a bio-cellulose texture mask that I'd say is a medium-thickness, in comparison to most bio-cellulose masks it is a little bit thicker. However, this mask is still very delicate (as per usual with bio-cellulose masks) and can be prone to ripping if not carefully handled when initially unpacking the mask. Furthermore, this material can "cling" to itself when it naturally is moved during the removal from between the two sandwich cloth-like sheets, this is the main thing I aim to avoid because if clings to itself its especially hard to separate the two layers without damaging the mask. Per the TooCoolForSchool website instructions, they recommend that "for an intensive treatment" to leave on the mask for 30-40 minutes which I would say is on par for how long I usually wear this mask. The feel of this is amazing, right off the bat it is cooling and hydrating to the face. This has a wonderful "pick-me-up" effect without being overly goopy or saturated with serum, the texture of the mask does the magic here. This also feels amazing when used a face roller over this mask, not much can compare to how great this feels on the skin. After using, my skin always feel supple and rejuvenated. Furthermore, this does not have any "tingling" effects and it's actually quite nourishing and gentle on the skin. This is definitely a mask I would feel comfortable using when I'm at my most sensitive. Although this says 24K Gold in the name, there is no visible gold flecks in this mask. However, there is gold included within the ingredients and it appears somewhere around the middle of the list, which is nice. I've included a screen shot of the ingredients list below. Overall, I think this is a great mask that I tend to use ~once or twice a month. It's quite expensive for a singular mask, but I enjoy the effects and feel enough to continue having this in my stash years later, so I think it deserves some credit ๐Ÿ™‚

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@QueenMarceline, I think this mask is the best of the products from the brandโ€™s pumpkin 24k line.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@itsfi 100% agree ๐Ÿ™‚

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@QueenMarceline  It's been awhile since I've tried this one, but I remember liking too. I haven't used anything from this brand ever since they discontinued my favorite Coconut Ceramide mask. ๐Ÿ˜•

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@Shosh85, ohhhh, that coconut ceramide mask was such a good one. I think it is my most favorite sheet mask of all time. Makes it that much more painful that it's been discontinued. ๐Ÿ˜ž @QueenMarceline 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@itsfi Seems like they always take away the good stuff ๐Ÿ˜• sigh

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@Shosh85 It seems like this brand discontinues things quite a bit because I see them disappearing. I never tried the coconut ceramide but it sounds really nice ๐Ÿ™‚

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@QueenMarceline  

This one sounds nice. I saw a pack of these at TJ Maxx but passed on it. Will look for it when it's time to get more masks. 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@missy94612 Oh wow, I've never seen these at TJ Maxx. I'll have to go check if they have any at my local one ๐Ÿ™‚

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Biocellulose masks are high up on my list of favorites, @QueenMarceline! Although I have not tried this one (my fear of potential pumpkin scented anything), it sounds absolutely lovely. Happy to hear you have a tried-and-true love! 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@eshoe I don't think this smells like pumpkin at all tbh, it doesn't smell like much to me at all ๐Ÿ™‚

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

That is music to my ears, @QueenMarceline ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ
