Beauty Thursday!: C&F Cosmetics- Cotton Mask Sheets

8:42 p.m EST
hey guys :) so as you can see I'm going to be talking about C&F- well to be more precise i'm going to be talking about their line of cotton mask sheets.  

But first here are some general questions:

What is a  Cotton Mask?
Cotton masks are essentially pieces of cotton that would shaped be to fit all face shapes and sizes. These cotton masked are soaked in a thick consistency like serum that would have all the essential nutrients needed for your face. 

Some masks would contain, aloe, green tea, papaya or whitening ingredients- in the end it all depends on the kind of effect you would like to have (tightening of pores, lighter skin, acne scar removal etc) 

Do Cotton Masks work more effectively and quickly than regular clay masks or peel-off masks? 
I think that would depend on what sort of effect the individual wants for the face- the difference between Cotton Masks and the regular sort that you would find at your local store, is that it's more gentle on the face and it uses less harsh ingredients on the face. With that being said I don't think it's necessarily a more quicker option, it's more of a gradual process that you would see within a month or so after use. Effective? yes very. If you are committed in using the cotton masks then you will definitely see results- your body is soaking up and absorbing all of that good stuff, allowing your skin to look brighter and more healthy and fresh.

If I were to use a Cotton Mask When would be the best time to use it?
I would have to say immediately after you take a shower or a nice hot bath. This is because after taking a shower, your pores would be open from the steam- at this point it is the best time to apply the cotton mask. The cotton mask would be able to perform at optimal levels because the steam and the humidity is allowing for easy access of the serum (aha!).

How long would I leave it on my face for?
 Well this all depends on which mask you are purchasing, usually its 30min- for me personally i like to keep it on until the mask feels as though it as almost dried out. This way, i'll be able to soak up literally all the serum XD. (sometimes there's serum left inside the package, i would just squeeze that out and onto my skin as well lol.

Okay and now for C&F's cotton masks 

I had purchased these one's a while ago (For those in the Toronto Area they sell it up at Pacific Mall on Steeles and Kennedy) these i believe were 10$ for 10 packs. 


They have a long range of cotton masks that contain different ingredients that will have different effects. I think that in comparison to other brands- these kinds of cotton sheets are ..... okay ? Like they're pretty good (i'd give them a 3.5/5). I just felt that the serum didn't give me a smooth finish as the Pearl Essence Cotton Masks. -->>>

I felt that the CF cotton masks' serum has a more liquidy consistency and didn't really make my pores smaller than this Taiwanese brand (i'm sorry i don't know the brand name of this one *-*)

Also the C&F mask when you open the package, it doesn't come with a protective plastic in the mask so that it doesn't ripe while your trying to unfold it- I almost had several incidences where i almost ripped my mask -.- smh. 

Yeah overall, it's an ookay product its a very basic type of mask- not as skin enhancing as you would want it to be
.. not the best but if your a university student on a budget then i don't see why not ! 
There is always the option of buying online as western places do not have as much variety as they do in Asia- as long as you do your research and look up a few reviews on the product ! :D 

This is it guys- i hope you enjoyed ! 

Cheers!
