I used to want to try putting egg in my hair just to see if my hair would really look THAT much better, but I could never bring myself to waste an egg. Not when I could be baking with them or eating them hard-boiled with some truffle salt (OMG so good!). I now cook my eggs for about 7 minutes to get the gooey yolk I want and I love that in a pinch, they actually make a somewhat filling meal. Sometimes I have them for a quick breakfast or as an add-on in a vegetarian salad and ever since the Too Cool for School Egg Cream Mask, I have been enjoying eggs in my sheet masks as well!
This mask contains egg yolk and coconut fruit extract to revive and nourish dry, parched skin using a super soft microfibre sheet. This is one of the more iconic masks in the Korean sheet mask world as it is known to be a very hydrating one that doesn't leave skin feeling sticky, yet locks in moisture. It also has hyaluronic acid and niacinamide for an extra does of lasting hydration and brightening!
I usually save this mask for winter or at least the drier Fall months because it is QUITE creamy and even a little gooey...like a real egg. It has a couple of different silicones in it and is analogous to a classic sleeping mask like the one from Laneige. Moisture gets locked in and when you wash your face in the morning, it will look plump and smooth!

Mask Summary:
Price: On sale at T&T for $17/pack of 5
Skin concerns: Hydration, dullness
Scent: Faintly floral
Essence Type: Creamy and kind of gooey
Duration: 20 minutes
Thickness: Thin
Mask Fit: Very good with all contours being hugged nicely
Tackiness: Light
Hydration: Good! I did not feel the need to add any moisturizer.
Other notes: Very similar to the Jayjun Cosmetic Purple Fragrance Mask as it is also a microfibre sheet.
Final verdict: I used to avoid using silicones quite a bit in my nighttime skincare routine and to some degree I still don't like it in things like serums that I believe should be "all real stuff" as opposed to moisturizers or masks that are meant to be more like "helmets' for sealing the good and oftentimes, expensive stuff in. With how dry it has been lately, I have had to resort to more occlusive substances like Vaseline and oils to keep my skin and lips hydrated so a mask like this one is just what is necessary to keep dry skin happy! I will continue to buy this mask whenever I see it at T&T as I just used up my last of five for these photos!
You can find the Too Cool for School Egg Cream Mask at most K-beauty retailers or Asian supermarkets like T&T!
