SHEET MASK | 23 Years Old Cocoon Willow Silky Mask

Purchased by me 

I am a sleepy girl this morning. I can no longer sleep in past 8am as my kitty Buster will wake me up promptly at 7am for food. He sleeps all through the night and then right at 7am, awakens from between my legs and just starts walking all over me and chatting away. I should be grateful that I have cats that let me sleep until a decent hour! I would like to think that Buster "keeps me honest" when it comes to getting up at a reasonable hour. Does he do this to my husband? NOPE. Just to me. I was a bit cold last night which was a nice change so I found that I didn't sleep all that well last night because I was only wearing a tank top and no sleeves.

I have been a little slow with my sheet masking in the last few weeks. I am still feeling so tired after coming home from work and I really don't know how to keep my energy up past 4pm. I feel like there is never enough time to do everything I want to do on my days off and it's not like I am going to get any faster as time goes by! I have been slowly decluttering my life over the last month with a lot of product and clothing leaving my closet which has felt amazing. One of the beauty things I had to declutter were some of my older sheet masks as I have accumulated FAR too many that I want to review for all of you! For today's mask, I don't even know if the brand 23 Years Old is even still around...they were such a great series of masks though so I am sad they have disappeared! 

What makes this mask special? This mask contains silkworm protein essence to boost collagen production, niacinamide and willow bark extract to hydrate and brighten the skin. Also, it is a sheet mask without an open mouth so get ready to be silent for 20-30 minutes!

Mask Summary:

Price: $6 CDN (when I purchased it) 

What it does: Tones, hydrates and energizes skin

Scent: None

Essence Type: Light and milky

Duration: 30 minutes

Thickness: Thick, but super soft and plushy feeling!

Mask Fit: A little weird and very hard to not speak for 30 minutes!

Tackiness: Surprisingly light and pleasant! Even my lips felt really soft!

Hydration: Really nice! 

Other notes: I would cut a hole for my mouth for any mask like this in the future!

Final verdict: As strange as this was to wear, my lips felt nicely plumped, soft and hydrated and my skin felt so nice and smooth! The mask felt thick, soft and luxurious and I am sad that this mask does not exist anymore because I would definitely love to experience the results of this mask again!

Have a great rest of the weekend!
