Hi Divas

I purchased these Coconut Ceramide masks at a Sephora in Qatar. I love that Sephora has been stocking more Kbeauty products lately. Their sheet mask range as improved greatly within the store. Too Cool For School is a well-known Korean beauty brand. I have only tried their Pumpkin 24K Gold Sheet Mask. You can read that review here. The brand has some cult products which Kbeauty fanatics rave about. I love trying new sheet masks and the packaging of the coconut ceramide mask looked too cute to resist. When I came across these coconut masks, I immediately wanted to try it. Firstly, I love the scent of coconut. It always seems so refreshing and calming to me. Secondly coconut is known to have many great benefits to our bodies inside and out. These masks were one of the most affordable available in the skin care range. I love finding new products that are budget friendly too.

The mask is filled with freshly squeezed coconut water and ceramides, and is described as having brightening and anti-wrinkle properties too. Coconut water has wonderful benefits to hydrate and soothe dry, dull and irritated skin. You can use it as an everyday moisturiser because it replenishes and hydrates the flakiest skin. It contains anti-bacterial properties which help relieve and prevent acne as well. Coconut water is well known for creating a natural glowing complexion. It helps fade sun tan marks as well as blemishes and pigmentation problems. Ceramides are naturally found in our skin and they serve as protecting building blocks to keep in moisture, retain elasticity and acts as protective walls against pollution and other outside harmful elements. Ceramides are responsible for keeping our skin firm and supple. As we age these ceramides breakdown therefore using skin care which contain ceramides help the skin stay moisturised, firm and healthy.

The mask is made out of a thin cotton fibre and is packaged securely with two plastic protective sheets around it. The actual sheet is very delicate and you should handle it with care when applying it to your face as it might tear. The sheet is drenched in essence and there is a lot of product left over in the outside packaging. I would suggest you keep the rest of the essence in the fridge to use the next day. The sheet mask fits really comfortable on the face and feels very cooling and hydrating. The actual essence has a light consistency but it is not too runny. I absolutely love the fresh coconut scent of this mask as it is not artificial or too overbearing. This is honestly one of my favourite masks I have ever used. It feels so moisturizing and soothing on the face. I could wear this mask for a full hour as it does not dry out easily and sits snug on the face. My skin feels so refreshed, hydrated and calm after using it. It does not leave an unwanted sticky residue as some sheet masks tend to do. The remaining essence on my face blends wonderfully into my moisturiser.

I can truly tell the difference in the hydration levels and suppleness of my skin after using this mask. I would wear it at night and wake up to soft, glowing and healthy looking skin in the morning. I used these during the cold Winter months too and they made such a difference to my skin care routine. I definitely recommend these masks and cannot wait to purchase more. They are available on Ebay too if you cannot get to a Sephora. By the way, follow me on Snapchat @divadesle, to see more crazy sheet mask selfies. ;-)

Pamper Sunday: 

Too Cool For School Pumpkin 24K Gold Mask 

Review

Hi Divas

Have you ever purchased a product purely for the cute packaging? Well this is one of those crazy impulsive shopping buys. On one of my trips to Sephora in Qatar, I came across these adorable masks and I swear my heart skipped a beat when I saw them. I didn't even think twice to throw it in my basket, the packaging alone had me hypnotized! Sephora has been stocking a lot of Korean brands lately and Too Cool For School has been very popular within the store. The Too Cool For School brand is very well known in Korea but it is a little pricey compared to other mainstream cosmetic brands. This is my first experience with this brand and what better way to test it out than with a sheet mask. As most of you know I am a Sheet Mask Diva! I love trying new varieties and formulas. The sheet mask name Pumpkin 24K Gold Mask had me all sorts of confused and intrigued. Have you ever heard of pumpkins and 24K gold in the same sentence? Me neither! I was very excited to see what this was all about. I swear cosmetic combinations are getting stranger and stranger. I am not complaining though. This Diva loves all things weird and wonderful, LOL.

The product is described as a bio cellulose sheet mask. This means the actual mask is made out of nano sized fibres that are woven together to hold 100 times more moisture than what a normal cotton mask would contain. These masks are drenched in essence and will not dry out. They are stronger than the cotton masks and fit like a second skin on the face. Therefore, the essence is absorbed into the pores more effectively. The mask contains pumpkin fruit extract as well as 24K gold and is paraben and sulfates free. Pumpkin extracts are packed with Vitamin A and C as well as fruit enzymes and Alpha Hydroxy Acids. These all aid in renewing the skin cells and increasing collagen to decrease the process of ageing. They also soothe and brighten the skin. Who knew that pumpkins contain so many skin benefits. I need to make yummy pumpkin fritters and pies for dessert. It's good for your health, hehehe. The 24K gold firms skin and improves blood circulation. Your skin is left looking radiant and firmer over time. I say a Big YES, to all things gold in skin care. I love that my face and skin cells can glam up from within.

The mask is protected by two plastic film sheets on either side. You have to carefully remove it to apply the mask. This sheet mask is surprisingly flimsy. It is so thin that it truly feels like a second skin on your face. The product is drenched in essence and can drip onto your neck and chest as you are applying it. There is a lot of essence left in the packaging. You can seal it and place it in the fridge to be used the next day. The mask sits comfortably on the face. I love that it did not move around or slide down. You can easily carry on with your daily activities whilst wearing the product. It has a cooling and moisturising effect on the skin. My face instantly felt refreshed and hydrated while using it. The mask definitely targets dullness and dry skin. I wore the mask for 40 minutes and my face looked and felt revitalized. One of the biggest surprises about the mask was the scent. There was absolutely no scent at all. Looking at the packaging, I was expecting a sweet smelling pumpkin and cinnamon latte. To my disappointment it smelled like absolutely nothing. I know that fragrances can irritate sensitive skin. I can understand why they didn't add any artificial scents as this mask is targeted to all skin types. A small glimmer of hope was still inside me for a little something though.

Follow me on Snapchat for more craziness!

I enjoyed using the sheet mask. I felt like it did a good job in refreshing and moisturizing my skin. I do think that this is a normal everyday mask and does not do anything spectacular. The packaging definitely outshines the actual sheet mask. I would purchase it for the cute packaging but not for the actual sheet masks. So far, my impressions on the Too Cool For School brand is favourable but I need to try more products to give an honest opinion on whether I truly would recommend them or not. Have you tried anything from this brand? Let me know below. Thank you so much for reading. Hope you found this review helpful.
