Biodance Bio-Collagen - Real Deep Mask review


I Finally Tried the Viral Biodance Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask!

I know I’m super late to the game, but I finally got my hands on the super viral Korean facial mask—and I just had to share my thoughts.

In case you need a refresher, this is the mask that went viral for turning transparent the longer you wear it. You’re supposed to keep it on for 3–4 hours—or even overnight! Unlike most sheet masks that go viral for their ingredients, this one took off because of its unique experience.

But beyond the novelty, I was curious: does it actually do anything? Here’s my experience.




πŸ§–‍♀️ What It Claims to Do

The Biodance Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask is a hydrogel mask packed with serious skincare benefits:

  • Ultra-Low Molecular Collagen for deep firming and enhanced elasticity
  • Oligo-Hyaluronic Acid for long-lasting hydration that penetrates deeper than regular hyaluronic acid
  • Probiotics (Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate) to reduce fine lines and strengthen the skin barrier
  • Niacinamide to brighten and refine texture
  • Fragrance-Free & Hypoallergenic – perfect for sensitive skin

You can use it two ways:

  • Overnight – apply it at the end of your routine and sleep with it on (only if you can sleep on your back!)
  • Daytime – apply after toner or serum and wear for 3–4 hours until the mask turns transparent

Pro tip: Repurpose the cut-out pieces from the eyes and mouth—apply them to your neck or under-eye area for bonus hydration!

after 2.5 hours

I tried to smile but couldn't... the mask got really tight. You can also see how bits of it were stretched so much that they ripped a bit.

πŸ’­ My First Impressions

  • It ripped almost immediately when I was taking it out of the packaging—so handle with care!
  • Unscented, which I appreciate
  • It stings a bit on broken skin, but that sensation fades quickly—and those areas actually felt more hydrated after
  • You can literally see where your skin is dehydrated: those areas turn transparent first (for me, it was around my nose and mouth)
  • Despite some reviews, I didn’t find it uncomfortable—I actually fell asleep during the first 2 hours of wearing it!
  • Don’t use your phone while wearing this—it can slide around with movement or blinking, and if your phone slips… well, it’s not a fun wake-up call
  • Strengthening Skin: One thing I noticed that really surprised me was how strong and resilient my skin felt after just one use — it felt like my skin barrier had been reinforced, especially in areas that normally feel a bit raw or fragile.

other info

πŸ› Best Way to Use It

To keep the mask in place, lie flat on your back—especially for the first two hours. I tried sitting and standing, and the mask kept slipping. Sleeping on your side is also a no-go unless you want it to shift or fall off completely.

Some people see transparent blotches within the first hour, but for me, they didn’t appear until about 1 hour and 45 minutes in.


after 3 hours

πŸ€” Final Thoughts

This mask was definitely more than just a gimmick. It gave me:

  • Deep hydration
  • A visible look at my dehydrated areas
  • Firmer, smoother-feeling skin afterward
  • Improves and strengthens the skin barrier
  • Skin feels good after using

But I did have a couple of frustrations:

❌ Cons:

  • Tears very easily, both during application and while wearing
  • Can really only be used while lying down (preferably flat on your back)


That being said, one of my biggest frustrations with facial masks like these is how short their product life cycles are. Just when I get attached to a formula and start incorporating it into my routine, it gets discontinued. It’s not because the product isn’t good—often, it’s because companies quickly move on to the next trend or formula, especially in the fast-paced K-beauty world. I’ve never fully understood why this happens, but it makes it hard to stick with what works.

All in all, I can see why this mask went viral—and while it’s not perfect, I’d consider using it again (with very gentle hands!). Would I sleep in it regularly? Probably not, unless I’m totally exhausted and planning to stay in one position all night πŸ˜…

What the discarded mask looks like... soft plastic material


πŸŒ™ Post-Mask Results & Final Thoughts

While the effects weren’t as dramatic as some influencers hyped them up to be, I still genuinely enjoyed using this mask. What stood out to me was how much stronger and more resilient my skin felt after one use — as if my barrier had gotten a little boost. After removing it, my skin felt noticeably hydrated, smooth, and calm—especially in sensitive or dry patches. The glow wasn’t just temporary either; the results lasted well into the next day, which pleasantly surprised me.

That said, this is definitely on the luxury side of sheet masks. At around $100 for 24 masks, it’s significantly pricier than many drugstore options that go for $1–2 each. But if you’re looking for a unique masking experience with visible hydration and skin-calming benefits—and don’t mind lying completely still—this might be worth trying.

Would I repurchase? Yes — despite the price, the results were worth it for me. My skin felt moisturized, soothed, and noticeably smoother. The calming and hydrating effects lasted well into the next day, and my skin genuinely looked healthier.

In fact, I find myself craving to use this mask again and again because of how good my skin feels afterward. It’s become something I look forward to in my routine — though I try to limit myself, or I might just end up using it daily!

Nature Republic Snail Solution Mask Sheet review


(I saw this review sitting at the back of my drafts folder and forgot to publish it... this was written 5 years ago, 2016)

I picked up this mask at Nature Republic's store in Hong Kong a while back. I bought them because I heard lots of good things about snail solutions so I decided to give these a try. These were sold in sets of 10 and were wrapped up in a thin resealable bag, but the masks are individually packaged. I think these were around $58 HKD (which is approximately $8 USD for 10 sheet masks) which makes them on a more affordable side.

Each mask contains 20g (which is probably why it is more affordable because masks are usually 28g -30g)
net. wt. 0.71 oz.

This sheet mask contains 2000 ppm of snail mucus filtrated from a clean area, providing excellent moisture and adhesion. 

The brand's motto is Sheet Mask conveyed by the life of nature.

Details of mask:

SNAIL SOLUTION MASK SHEET (NN6202)
Brand: Nature Republic
Made in Korea
It is an ultra-moisturizing sheet mask with snail secretion filtrate. 
It focuses on moisturizing and nourishing the skin.

Ingredients:

I highlighted a few of the noteworthy ingredients

WATER, GLYCERIN, BUTYLENGLYCOL, SNAIL SECRETION FILTRATE, SODIUM HYALURONATE, BETAIN, PORTULACA OLERACEA EXTRACT, LAVANDULA ANGUSTIFOLIA (LAVENDER) EXTRACT, HAMAMELIS VIRGINIANA(WITCH HAZEL) EXTRACT, CUCUMIS SATIVUS (CUCUMBER) FRUIT EXTRACT, ALOE BARADENSIS LEAF JUICE, HYDROLYZED COLLAGEN, MYROTHAMNUS FLABELLIFOLIA CALLUS CULTURE EXTRACT, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, PEG-60HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL, METHYLPARABEN, CARBOMER, XANTHAN GUM, ALLANTOIN, TRIETHANOLAMINE, DISODIUM EDTA, PHENOXYETHANOL, PARFUM



details


Directions
1. After applying toner, pull out the mask sheet from the package and unfold it. 
2. Apply the mask sheet onto the face from the lower (chin) part of the mask and upwards to the forehead. 3. Remove mask sheet after 10~15 minutes. 
4. Gently pat any remaining formula into the skin. 

Caution
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes.
Discontinue use if signs of irritation or rashes appear. 
Keep out of reach of children. 

tried to smile but the mask was falling off

The harsh weather conditions have made my skin very sensitive, red, and extremely dry, so I'm hoping that by using more skincare products, I can nourish my skin back to being moist and healthy. Since I have 10 of these, and I have lots of free time, I decided to try using them for 10 days. I was told that it is better to use the same mask and not switch between different masks during a shorter period of time, so I am committing to using this mask for 10 days.

Here is what I did to get the results (spoiler: my skin felt pretty darn good after this)
  1. apply The Body Shop's Seaweed Clarifying Toner
  2. apply Nature Republic's Snail Solution Sheet Mask
  3. leave on for 10-15 mins (I usually do 15 mins) 
  4. pat the remaining solution into skin
  5. apply Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream (as a moisturizer)

Impressions:

  • sensitivity on the skin the first few times of using it
  • has a nice soft and calming smell (can't pinpoint it since it is very light)
  • the solution has a watery consistency (too watery)
  • the mask had a hard time keeping the solution on my face (it kept dripping)
  • the mask is very thin and lightweight (and a bit flimsy)
  • the mask did not fit my face well (the nose flap was too short and didn't cover my nose properly, it was loose and tight in areas that didn't allow the mask to fully cover the surface of my skin properly.)
  • mask leaves skin feeling very sticky :(

Since I had so many of these masks, I kept one and let it dry out after I used it and discovered that the mask is made out of cotton-like material.

Log
I was a bit unlucky. My skin immediately reacted negatively on the first day. There weren't huge issues, but I felt a slight burning sensation and my skin was a bit irritated.

I decided to attempt the mask again on the second day, there was less sensitivity and less irritation.

On the third day, the third time seems to be the charm. My skin was getting used to the mask, I started noticing how my skin is starting to feel a bit smoother after I removed the mask, I realized that my skin had absorbed a lot of the solution (especially my forehead). 

Fast forward to the fifth day, and it has become a habit. I still struggle with keeping the solution from dripping down my face and neck but my skin has started to appreciate having this mask. My skin feels softer and smoother. There is still a bit of redness on my skin but it feels less "fragile" and more resilient towards dryness (especially when I stand next to air vents). My skin does not immediately need a moisturizer right after this mask treatment. This is an indication that my skin is more nourished.

On the eighth - tenth day, I started noticing my skin becoming plumper. My skin feels even "stronger" (it is especially noticeable when I am standing in front of heaters and my skin is not bothered by the heat and making it feel drier than it usually is). 

I loved the results from using sheet masks and will continue to do so to maintain and even further improve my skin's healthiness. 

Verdict

I'm quite happy with the results of using a mask a day for 10 days. However, I can't say I am in love with this sheet mask. While it has certainly nourished and given enough moisture to my skin, I feel that other sheet masks might be able to achieve these results on the 3rd mask. 

I am glad the irritation stopped at day one and the benefits started kicking in on day 3. But there are other sheet masks that will not cause as much irritation as this one. (Next time, I will try this 10-day mask challenge with a different mask and will share the results).

Skin79 Lemon Brightening Mask review

Skin79 Lemon Brightening Mask review
Lemon Brightening Mask
I have finally accomplished my mission!! I have bought and used this Lemon Brightening Mask!! .I can finally say that I have used all 3 of Skin79's Home Self Spa Mask!!! (applause)... 

If you haven't read my reviews on the other masks of this collection, I will repeat: This product contains a box, a sanded glass container and a plastic spoon... one of the reasons I like the plastic spoon is that it makes using and storing this mask much more hygienic... without directly contact with the mask (which is moist read: perfect bacteria growth environment), you will be able to store your mask for a longer time with out it being contaminated. 

Made in Korea

Lemon juice is best known to brighten and whiten our skin... so it made lots of sense for Skin79 to make a Lemon Brightening Mask.


Description:
The mask is effective to such skin as needing management of brightness with Lemon Extract helping dark complexion radiant and bright. Moisturizing ingredients are lightly and softly absorbed in skin without irritation. The Hyaluronic Acid and Phyto Active Complex keeps your dry skin clear and healthy by supplying soothing and moisturizing effect.

Claims:
  • Brightens
  • Soothing
  • Moisturizes
  • Softening Skin

Skin79 Lemon Brightening Mask review
sorry for the blurriness... my camera refused to focus!!! >.<

Directions:
After washing take a proper amount and spread all over your face except eye & lip area. Wait 10 - 15 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water. (Use it once or twice a week).

Impressions
  • Smells like lemons... The artificial kind
  • Dehydrates skin
  • Thick
  • Some brightening effects 
  • test on small section of skin before 

Caution! If you have any wounds or your skin is breaking out or particularly sensitive... wait... DO NOT use it... you will regret as this mask will sting sensitive/broken skin.

pros:
  • smells good (if you like artificial lemon flavour... but seriously, who doesn't?)
  • effective - my skin felt slightly brightened and plumped
  • attractive packaging
  • reasonable price
  • you don't need a lot to cover your whole face

cons:
  • does not really dry up... 
  • dehydrates skin
  • can be quite messy
  • a bit harder to wash off (compared to the rose and seaweed mask)
Do not expect huge results after using this mask... it will not instantly make your skin a few shades lighter... it will brighten it... make sure to apply a moisturizing serum and moisturizer after (your skin will feel dry)

TonyMoly Floria Nutra-Energy Mask Sheet with Argan Oil review

TonyMoly Floria Nutra-Energy Mask Sheet with Argan Oil review
TonyMoly Floria Nutra-Energy Sheet mask
Tony Moly Floria nutra-energy mask sheet with Argan Oil has always been appealing to me because I have heard so much about Tony Moly and Argan Oil has always fascinated me because I always hear people talking about its superb moisturizing properties.

TonyMoly Floria Nutra-Energy Mask Sheet with Argan Oil review
Directions

directions:
  1. Cleanse face
  2. Apply mask
  3. Leave on for 15-20 minutes


how the mask looks like (there is no backing) and it is thicker than most sheet mask

Impressions
  • Smells medicated
  • Stinging sensation
  • hated the size of the mask
  • essence absorbs into skin really well
The mask did not fit with my features at all, and I hated the medicated scent. I also found the mask to be too thick.

Pros
  • my face felt slightly lifted after
  • mask stays on face quite well
  • drenched with essence

Cons
  • Mask is thicker than other sheet masks
  • Does not fit my facial features (took a lot of time adjusting)
  • Stinging sensation
  • No backing to help you fit the product on
  • irritation occurred (my face had slight bumps after using this mask)

I don't think I will be buying these as they not work for me, I enjoyed the firm and lifted feeling but it was not evidently enough for me to consider using them again.

Skin79 Rose Moisture Mask review

Skin79 Rose Moisture Mask review
Skin79 Rose Moisture Mask contents
Happy New Year!!!

Either you are working hard to meet year end deadlines or you simply have been partying (a lot? *wink), either way, our skin must be tired from all those layers of make up or having the need to staying up so late, not to mention stress. And if you are living in a place where it is currently winter, your skin must have been drying from the dry weather or heaters. Good thing, we have masks to help us moisturize and relieve our dry and tired skin! My new year's resolution this year is to have better skin than I do now. Currently, I think my skin is in good condition, but there are still areas that are fairly dry, I hope by this time next year, those dry areas will be fully moisturized and smooth! What is your New Years Resolution?

It is quite fortunate I was able to receive this Skin79 Rose Moisture mask in time for this post! Let's put another Skin79 product to the test! This is the way to end the year... with a Skin79 product review!

The product contains a box, a sanded glass container and a plastic spoon. I really like the idea of using a plastic spoon. It is extremely hygienic, by keeping your mask clean, you can store it for a longer time without worrying about bacteria growing inside (eww).

Tagline: HYDRATING MASK FOR DRY AND TIRED SKIN. This mask contains refreshing rose petals, delivering the moisture and vitamins of rose petals to dehydrated skin to moisture skin from the inside to help maintain resilient and lively skin.

After you have cleansed your face, apply a thick layer of mask to the skin. Leave on for 20-25 minutes* then wash off with warm water. *the instructions say 10-15 minutes, but I like to leave it on longer, it seemed to be more effective if you leave it on longer.

ingredient list
The QR Code brings you to the Korean Official website of this product. (http://m.skin79.com/product/product_view.asp?proNo=00096 but for some reason, only mobile phones can access this page only). I was slightly shocked at the list of ingredients, how can there be so many!

Skin79 Rose Moisture Mask review
inside of container
The moment you lift the cover, you can smell rose petals (like rose tea). Don't let the name fool you, if you look closely at the ingredients, you will notice that besides rose petals, there also contains Cocoa, Licorice, and extracts from cucumber and aloe. These ingredients will help moisturize and make your skin feel soft.

Skin79 Rose Moisture Mask review
close up of the product, see the rose petals. This is all you need to cover your whole face, you can use more if you like
if you take a close up look at the product, you will find that there are bits of rose petals contained inside the mask. The mask does not require you to use a lot of product, just a liberal amount. It may seem unrealistic, but when I scooped out half a spoonful (the spoon that they provide), it was enough product to cover my whole face. However, I suggest that if you really need intense hydration, you should use a bit more.

Benefits to skin:
  • purifies and Moisturizing
  • Toning and tightening
  • Hydrating
  • Softening
  • relaxing
  • stimulating

pros:
  • smells good (literally like rose)
  • effective - my skin felt hydrated, moisturized
  • attractive packaging
  • reasonable price
  • easy to wash off
  • you don't need a lot to cover your whole face
cons:
  • feels sticky when it is on your face (even when dried)
  • more effective during "milder" summer and spring months*
*Sadly, as good as it is. It is not very effective nor having a lasting effect during harsh winter months in North America. It does help to put more product on, but the effect is not as lasting as I have hoped.

Γ‰tude House kissful tint choux red review


Γ‰tude house kiss full tint choux Red colour - container
Γ‰tude House kiss full tint choux Red colour - container

I always like Etude House products because they are really girly and are good quality. I heard a few beauty bloggers blog about this so I decided to make a purchase and give it a try. I actually have been using this for over 6 months now.

I decided on the Etude House Kissful Choux Tint in #1 Red

thoughts:

  • delicious cherry smell (no, I didn't taste it)
  • vivid colour
  • long lasting tint
  • moisturizes
  • natural looking
  • hard to apply (need to apply with finger)


Γ‰tude House kiss full tint choux red review
Γ‰tude house kiss full tint choux Red colour - contents and "applicator"

I really wished there was an applicator, this product forces you to use your hands which can be very messy. I end up with a pink/red stained finger every time I use this product. 



The product is really thick, you don't need a lot of it to fill your whole lip. It also smelled really yummy, like artificial cherry candy (but in a good way), for those who don't eat candy, this lip tint reminds me of Escada's Cherry in the Air perfume (which is the smell of artificial cherry candy).

As mentioned, the product is thick but once you blend it out, it is is less pigmented. It looks dark pink more than red. When it dries, it is really dry, the thick product is no longer sticky. It even has a glossy finish (I know the photo doesn't show this too well).

Γ‰tude House kiss full tint choux red review

I really love how it moisturizes my lips and enhances them at the same time. Because the look is so natural, it keeps people wondering whether I have even applied anything on. It is really great that it is long lasting, so I don't have to "give away my secret" every time I need to reapply some more product.

Skin79 Seaweed Cooling Mask review


I was waiting very impatiently for this to come in the mail. I am just so grateful for this mask. In Fact, I think I like everything that Skin79 makes (so far). 

It's tagline is a "Home Self Spa Mask", I have actually never been to a spa before, so I don't know what my skin should feel like after a spa treatment... but, if my skin can feel THIS good, I am definitely up for visiting a spa one day.

According to it's website it claims this mask is a

COOLING MASK THAT PROVIDES COOL, FRESH MOISTURE. The abundant moisturizing properties of this overnight cooling mask that can e felt the moment it touches the skin has excellent calming properties that quickly renews tired skin.

This is a very versatile mask, it can be a 10-15 min mask or a sleeping mask. 2 masks in one! It also works for all skin types. Isn't that cool (pun intended)?

photo source: http://www.skin79northamerica.com


The colour of the container was very attractive... who can resist this blue? But the gel is just clear, no colour to it. I also am impressed by how they also provided a "spoon" so you can scoop up the contents without contaminating the mask.

please excuse the messy background 


This is how Skin79 describes this mask:

This moisture supplying mask full of as cool moisture as it was dipped from the ocean, is fit for those who have brittle, sensitive and thin skin. With Fucus vesiculous extract containing minerals and Allantoin in addition to Aloe extract, which is prominent in skin soothing effect, this gel type content promptly has soothing and moisturizing effect on skin as well as maintains the skin healthy by providing freshness and sufficient moisture.
Product is recommended for dry and sensitive skin types.

How to Use:
After cleansing and apply a thick layer of mask to the skin avoiding eye and lip area.
Rinse thoroughly after 10-15 minutes with lukewarm water.
Pack Size - 75ml

I fell in love with this mask at first use. The scent wasn't strong but it certainly reminds me of the smell of the ocean (don't know why). I guess my skin was exhausted due to recent weather changes, so when I applied this mask, I could feel my skin relax a bit. My skin felt a cool sensation later (not a minty kind of cool, more like ocean wind blowing in your face kind of cool).

I am obsessed with the packaging


First things I realized when I washed off the mask was that my skin was smooth... my skin wasn't moisturized  but it was very very smooth... like every mask we remove and wash off, I had to apply toner, moisturizer. I think the skin on my face was relaxed.

pros:
  • smell
  • effective - my skin felt so smooth
  • attractive packaging
  • reasonable price
  • easy to wash off
  • cools my face (which is what it should be doing)
cons:
  • does not moisturize too well, (it does a great job "cooling" my skin though)

Binggrae Banana Flavoured Milk Drink review


Lately, due to the popularity of Minions 2, I have discovered that people are becoming more and more interested (ahem, obsessed) with Bananas! This isn't such a bad thing since Bananas are really good for you! 

A friend told me that Binggrae's Banana milk is really popular in Korea, the tour guide in Korea recommended this drink to them and my friend loved this drink, he was very excited when he found this in a grocery store in Toronto. He offered me one to try. 


The drink is heavily flavoured in banana and milk. Unfortunately, as expected the banana flavour tasted a bit artificial. (Not as worse as other foods, but still quite artificial). I was actually surprised that the milk tasted so "milky" (-___-) it is what made this drink taste better. I do warn you, if you do not like milk flavoured things, I don't think you will like this drink very much.

Due to the artificial banana taste, I do not recommend this drink to be served any other way other than cold though.

I think this is an interesting drink, I can't say I really like it, but it isn't extremely bad... if you are interested, why not give it a try? try something new every day!

Missha Hair Treatment Mask (Blue) review

my hair has literally been dead, dry, and there was no more elastin to them anymore. I knew I needed immediate care, I have tried some of the oil treatments offered at salons, but they only had a temporary effect.

While searching on eBay I came across a hair mask by Missha, because I was so desperate I decided to give this product a try.

Since I am an absolute newbie, my review might be slightly biased, as this is the ONLY hair mask I have EVER used.

Pros:
- hair definitely feels firmer, more elastic and shinier
- smell is quite good (but I don't like that little bit of mint there)
- seeing results after using it a few times
- do not have to apply product on hair for a long duration (only 3 minutes)

Cons:
- takes a lot of patience to remove this product (if you don't remove everything out, you will have an itchy scalp)
- bottle does not last very long (despite being 150 g), I have used this product for about 3 weeks now and I have used half the container.


I think this hair mask is a fair product, most important is that it works! The Price is also quite reasonable however I thought it would last must longer. I do plan to buy this in the future again!

Skin79 SUE Hydrating Gel review

Skin79 SUE Hydrating Gel

I finally got my hands on a Skin79 product and it is amazing!


The description at the back of the box describes it as a optimim hydration management system. It contains HYDRA-NGC and Phyto-Marine Complex that contain skin activating components.

container of Skin79 SUE Hydrating Gel
container of Skin79 SUE Hydrating Gel


Basically, this is a hydrating gel to target dehydrated skin surface and restore the skin back to it's ideal moisture level. It then forms a moisture band on the skin protecting it and helping the skin maintain skin softness.

Thoughts:

  • really works
  • affordable
  • you can feel your skin absorb this product
  • your skin feels so soft the next day
  • great for sensitive skin 
  • does not leave skin feeling oily or wet (it literally "sinks" into your skin)
  • would be better if they provided a scoop/spoon

Once applied I can feel my skin literally absorbing the gel, do not apply too much though, this was the first mistake I made when I first used this product as the excessive amount will dry up and do your skin no good (osmosis theory - once it dries up it will start grabbing moisture from your skin defeating the whole point of using this gel in the first place).  it also has a light refreshing fragrance which helps you feel relaxed.

Skin79 SUE Hydrating Gel product



This product is suitable for those who has sensitive skin. And is used as the last step of caring (I find using it after you apply moisturizer the most effective as it seals everything to give you better skin)

The only complaint I have is the inconveniences of not providing us with a scoop or spoon as it is quite hard to pick the product with your fingers, the product easily slips off your fingers... making it less hygienic as well as inconvenient.

I will give this 9/10!

Coffee from Korea review


One of my friends was nice enough to bring back some Korean Coffee from South Korea. I liked it, I have never really liked strong coffees so I was able to appreciate this light coffee. I can't read any Korean so I have no idea of the brand or name of this product besides knowing it is a coffee, but hopefully if you come across this product you can give it a try! If any of you can type the name in Korean for me or translate it into English, please leave a comment below!
