BonVivant Original Chrome Mask [First Impressions] Review
Last week Memebox released their Original Chrome Mask, that many of us had been ogling over since we saw it was released in Korea. I hadn't been this excited about a new Memebox release in a while, so I took advantage of the points and coupon I had saved, and bought a jar! Shipping was fast, and I had the mask in my hands yesterday! Having only had the opportunity to use this mask once, this is obviously a first impressions post. But since I do expect masks to give immediate (or overnight) effects, unlike a cream or serum or other piece of skincare, I assume the results I share with you here will remain about the same each time I use this mask.

#BonVivant Rose Botanical Mask Pack #Review
Bon Vivant is a newer house brand of Memebox, my favorite Asian beauty retailer. When the brand launched, there were three different sheet masks available, and this is one of them. I've never had a lot of skincare with rose in it, but I've grown very fond of the scent and enjoy finding new items that I like with a fresh rose scent to it. For that reason, I was most excited to try this mask out when I received all three.
The Bon Vivant Rose Botanical Mask Pack is a botanical fiber mask. This mask claims to be clarifying and moisturizing, with damask rose as the star ingredient.
Damask Rose contains vitamins A and C which help clarify and brighten the skin. The unique mask material, made from actual rose fiber, is able to retain much more essence than a traditional paper mask, making it more hydrating.
Ingredients: Rosa Damascena Flower Water, Glycerin, Methylpropanediol, Trehalose, Sodium Hyaluronate, Betula Platyphylla Japonica Juice, Allantoin, Panthenol, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer , Glyceryl Caprylate, Caprylyl Glycol, Xanthan Gum, Carbomer, Tromethamine , Disodium EDTA, Ethylhexylglycerin, Phenoxyethanol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Fragrance.
Key:
Healing & Calming ingredients
Emolient & Moisturizing ingredients
Star ingredients
Potential irritants/acne triggers
Do not use if you are sensitive to carbomer, rose, or any other ingredients.
The mask package is paper lined with foil - the mask itself is folded up around a piece of mesh. You will carefully unfold the mask, , remove the half-circle of mesh, and apply the mask to your face. It can roll/fold up on itself easily, so try to do this process delicately - take your time.
The mask material is translucent with a high of pink color, due to being made from rose petal fiber, and has a squishy gauze-like texture that is slightly stretchy.
It smells heavenly - like roses, it's beautiful. The essence is like that of a regular essence, it's not thick but it's thicker than water. When applied, it gives a slight tingly sensation. Memebox claims this is from the essence adjusting the pH of your skin, which may be possible with the Tromethamine, but I don't know enough about that to say for sure. It's not a painful sensation, and it actually feels good if you're experiencing a breakout (like I am).
Even though this mask is thin, because it is able to hold onto so much essence, I can wear it for about 45 minutes before it dries up. My skin feels so hydrated while I'm wearing it and after removal. My skin looks brighter, calmer, and my acne is less painful. Definitely a keeper!
I purchased this mask from Memebox USA; (affiliate).
TL;DR: This is a rose botanical fiber mask made from rose petals and is scented like roses - avoid if you do not like or cannot use rose. This mask is thin, stretchy, fits well, and holds lots of essence. I found it to be hydrating, calming, and brightening. Would definitely repurchase!

#BonVivant Mint + Tea Tree #SheetMask from #Memebox #Review
You guys know how much I love Memebox - to have a blog dedicated to unboxing their boxes and reviewing their products, and of course my family at Memebox Addicts... So you can imagine how excited I get when Memebox releases new products under their house brands. Recently, Memebox released a new house brand all-together called Bon Vivant which showcases a natural side of their skincare line, and they introduced it with three different sheet masks. Tonight I'm sharing one of those three!
Bon Vivant Mint + Tea Tree Botanical Mask Pack
Made in Korea | Purchased from Memebox USA (affiliate)
Description:
This mask is designed to help with pore tightening and sebum control. It is made from an innovative botanical mask sheet that holds a greater amount of moisture than traditional paper masks, and for a longer period of time as well. The material is supposed to be more breathable and have a better fit than paper masks.
Ingredients:
Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Leaf Water, Glycerin, Methylpropanediol, Butylene Glycol, Trehalose, Sodium Hyaluronate, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Betula Platyphylla Japonica Juice, Allantoin, Panthenol, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Glyceryl caprylate, Xantham Gum, Carbomer, Tromethamine, Disodium EDTA, Ethylhexylglycerin, Phenoxyethanol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Fragrance
Cosdna analysis
Directions:
Remove the mask from the pouch and unfold - remove the center support and apply mask to face. Relax for 10-20 minutes (or longer) - remove the sheet mask and pat in remaining essence.
My skin is oily, dehydrated, acne-prone with hormonal cystic acne from PCOS and sensitive to alcohol, bee venom and propolis.
Performance:
The Mint + Tea Tree mask felt very soft and squishy when I removed it from the package. I could tell it held onto a lot of essence and I couldn't wait to get it on my face. There was a half-sheet mesh support in the middle of the folded mask to keep it from balling up in the packaging, and to help you be able to unfold it easier. Once unfolded I was able to easily apply it to my face. It was easy to adjust and get a nearly perfect fit. The material is thin, pliable, and very soft - but still durable enough to work with easily. There is a bit of a tingling sensation when the mask is on my face - Memebox claims this is from the mask adjusting your skins' pH, but I think it's just from the peppermint and tea tree extracts.
Verdict:
The tingly cooling sensation was actually pretty relaxing and refreshing for me. After removal my skin felt fresh and cool, but I didn't notice any difference with my pores really. After using this mask a few different times I do think it's nice for calming acne though, and will definitely keep some on hand for that purpose.
