Review #1: Tosowoong Pure Blueberry Mask

Hello everyone! This is my first sheet mask review. Today, I will be reviewing the Tosowoong Pure Blueberry Mask. I have heard positive things about this brand, and one of the more beloved masks is their blueberry one. I used this at night time, after double cleansing and applying a BHA exfoliant (with a 15 min wait time). This mask costs between $13.00-$23.00 on eBay for a 10 pack, which is a pretty good deal.

















Benefits & Ingredients: (4/4) This mask claims to have whitening/brightening and anti-wrinkle properties. The main beneficial ingredients are Niacinamide (anti-aging, fade scars/discolorations) and Blueberry (antioxidant, reduce inflammationimprove and strengthen collagen).  Running the ingredients through cosdna reveals a pretty clean list with no major red flags, aside from Butylene Glycol as a potential acne trigger. Upon taking off the mask, my skin felt moisturized and refreshed, with some brightening effects immediately taking place. The effects were still present the next morning, when I woke up.














Mask Fit: (3/4) The material is thick, pulp-like texture and was easy to place on my face. Overall this mask fits pretty well, particularly around the nose and mouth area. The eye cutout is pretty big though, so this may or may not be a good thing depending on the person. For example, if you want more essence coverage around your eyes, you will need to spread the essence around your eye area yourself. Also, I found the width a bit too long, and some essence got onto my hairline from the side, but this wasn't too big of a deal.
















Scent: (4/4) The first thing I noticed about this mask was how nice it smelled! Seriously, it smells refreshing and calming, with a subtle blueberry scent that wasn't too fragrant or overbearing. The smell  kind of reminds me of dragonfruit too. This alone would definitely convince me to re-purchase this sheet mask.

















Essence Level: (3/4) This mask packs 23g of essence, or according to the marketing, a "full bottle" of concentrated essence. This is definitely above average in industry standards, and I had enough leftover to apply to my face the next day if needed (I chose to use the leftover as a body serum however. on my arms/legs).

Overall, I give this mask a score of 3.6 out of 4, which places it solidly in the "re-purchase" category.
