SNP & Skin9 Korean Animal & Opera Facial Masks (Review)

Hi everyone! It has been a long time since I had blogged anything.
Recently I have just purchased a few new masks from brands SNP and Skin9.
SNP came out with really cute animal masks, such as the Panda Whitening mask, Tiger, Otter and
Dragon. Skin9 also came out with their own line of animal masks. If you have never seen or heard of these masks before, they are basically cotton masks that looks like an animals face. I believe their selling point really is just the cuteness of the masks.

I purchased the Panda whitening mask and Tiger Anti-wrinkle mask from SNP and Puppy, Opera and Leopard mask from Skin9. I bought them for myself and my friends to try. Mainly for fun and out of curiosity to see how well the masks work.

Each masks has their own benefits, SNP's Panda mask helps to whiten and brighten the face while the Tiger mask helps to prevent wrinkles and leaves skin radiant. Skin9's Super Puppy and Leopard mask helps to whiten and give elasticity to the face. It contains royal jelly and snail secretion so it really helps to moisturize and repair the skin as well. The Peking Opera mask also contains royal jelly, snail secretion and aloe which helps to moisturize, heal and soothe the face.

Here are pictures of the masks.





 After holding onto these masks for about 2 weeks I was finally able to gather a group of friends to try on the masks together. Right after opening the pouches we couldn't stop laughing for the longest time.
The first one we opened was Skin9's Leopard Mask (and also my favorite out of all the ones that I purchased). It was funny enough with just the mask already, but we cracked up even more after he put on his glass... LOL!!! (YES, men like to use masks also!)


The Opera was my next favorite, (this is me by the way) and i wasn't expecting the mask to cover the eyes AND lips. I really wanted to take pictures so i kept putting the eye flap up and down and then the essence kept getting in to my eyes...and yes it stung... lol. The fitting is a little big for this mask, or my face is just a bit small. 
I did not really like the panda mask very much. The pigmentation of the eyes, nose and mouth on the SNP panda mask was not as dark or noticeable as I thought it would be but the fitting of the mask would be perfect for most people in my opinion. 
  
The Skin9 Puppy mask was my 3rd favorite. Although it looks more like an otter mask. The fitting of the mask would probably be better for girls haha.. and my friend has a pretty big head anyways... (I hope he doesnt see this post)

 Last of all is the SNP Tiger mask, also not as pigmented as i thought it would be, the mask is also kind of big in my opinion.

Overall, I think it is a one time kind of a thing to try out with your friends or family or at a sleepover or something. Quality wise, I personally felt that Skin9's sheet mask felt better than SNP's mask. It stayed moist longer than SNP's.

Pro's:
- Cute and fun
- Non-irritating
- Good ingredient list

Cons:
- A little bit pricy
 (can range from $1.50-$3.99 per mask)
- Fitting Varies

 Would I purchase this again? I definitely would buy them ask a gift to friends but probably not for myself unless for a sleepover or something. I definitely had a really good time using these masks, had a good laugh and definitely worth all the pictures. My guy friends definitely had more fun than I did. <3 <3 <3
