Monstory Cool Cool Mon Sleeping Mask Review
What: Monstory Cool Cool Mon Sleeping Mask, 100g
Price & Where: 1,000 PHP at Althea
Hello, this is my review of the Cool Cool Mon Sleeping Mask from the brand Monstory. I got this inside my Althea's Super Food Box (read my unboxing here).

About the Product

I tried looking for more info about Monstory but I can't find much aside from the fact that they're a Korean company and that their products are all made of natural ingredients. So far, their website currently lists three products: Green Mon, Girly Mon and the star of today's review - Cool Cool Mon.

The product came like this. It is sealed with plastic. No box.
All the info is written in Korean. No English translation.
Cool Cool Mon is a sleeping pack, unlike the other Monstory masks which are the wash-off type.

The container is made with thick and sturdy plastic and holds 100g of product. It has a lid inside where you can write the opening date to remind you if it's past expiry. You can keep this for two years after the manufacturing date but the shelf-life is 90 days once opened. You have to keep it refrigerated after opening.

Claims & Ingredients

Monstory Cool Cool Mon Sleeping Mask Review
Container is full to the brim!
Cool Cool Mon is an anti-aging sleeping pack. It claims it will make the skin look younger by boosting the skin's elasticity. Aside from that, it has high density moisture layers to improve skin vitality. Lastly, it's supposed to clean skin by removing dead skin cells overnight.

The main ingredient of this sleeping pack is green caviar (Caulerpa lentillifera, also known as grape seaweed). It's full of nutrients such as calcium, iron, minerals and other vitamins. Interesting.

In the Philippines, grape seaweed is called lato and we usually eat it as a salad.
Here's the full ingredients list courtesy of Cosdna. Monstory guarantees that the sleeping pack is free of mineral oil, artificial flavor, artificial pigment, paraben, and components derived from animals. Of course, please check if your own allergens/irritants are present and don't use if you are sensitive to any of the ingredients.


My Experience

Monstory Cool Cool Mon Sleeping Mask Review
texture of the sleeping pack
The mask is a white gel with tiny green balls mixed in. The balls dissolve when you apply it on your skin, no extra effort needed. It smells herb-ish to me, but the scent is gentle and not overpowering. Since you have to keep this in the fridge, it feels very refreshing and cool once applied. This is great to use during summertime. Of course, the cooling sensation will subside after a while.

I use this as the last step of my skincare routine. Even if I massage it in, it doesn't get fully absorbed. There's an oily film left behind but it's usually not there anymore in the morning. Either my skin absorbed it overnight or else, my pillows did, haha.

Results?

Whenever I use this, my skin would look radiant and bright after washing my face the next morning.  I guess that's the dead skin cells removed? Aside from that, my skin would feel so soft and hydrated. Moisturization: check! It looks smoother too so firming claims approved! I did not get any negative reactions, so plus points for that.

Will I Repurchase?

Yes, but honestly, only if they produce this in smaller quantities or if it's on sale. 

The product is not bad. It's very moisturizing so I think this would suit people with dry skin. I have normal-combi skin and I personally like it too! However, my one biggest con is its size. 100g is a lot to empty within 3 months! I used this about 3 times a week and I tend to apply very generously, but I'm not even half-way through my jar. I ended up tossing the rest since it's past the recommended 90-day shelf life. Such a waste, if you ask me.

If Monstory releases a smaller (and cheaper jar), I'd get it again with no hesitations! If you have a friend to share it with or if you find this on sale, then snatch it quick!
