A while ago www.kocono.dk/ sent me these masks for review purposes. I was very excited to try them because I've never tried anything from this brand before.
About the brand (from www.kocono.dk/)

Directions
"1) After cleansing your face, and (optionally) applying toner, remove sheet mask from packaging and unfold it
2) Carefully place the mask over your face while avoiding the eye and mouth area. Relax and leave the mask for 10-20 minutes
3) Remove the mask and gently pat in any remaining essence into your skin.
4) Follow with your favourite essence, eye cream, moisturizer and/or night cream."
The masks
On the pictures above, you can see the sheet material from the Lavender, the Honey and the Cucumber mask. It came with a back piece which made it easy to unfold. The sheet was made of microfiber. It was thin and super soft.
The Mugwort mask had different sheet material. It was more stiff but also made of microfiber. It was soft - just not as soft as the other masks.
The fit
The fit was great. All the masks adhered well to my skin and there were slits to adjust the mask for a better fit. The holes for the eyes and the hole for the mouth were big enough for my face. Once the masks were on, they stayed in their place the entire time I was using them.

Review
When I opened the pouch and took out the mask, the first thing I noticed was a strong smell of alcohol. Luckily, the smell wasn't that noticeable while on.
The sheet was soaked in clear and watery essence and there was about a tablespoon amount of essence left in the pouch.
I left the mask on for about 20 minutes and it was still damp when I removed it. While wearing the mask, it had a pleasant cooling effect. The remaining essence on my skin absorbed within 10 minutes. It left my skin without any sticky residue. My skin felt soft and hydrated.

Review
This was my least favorite of these masks. I'm in my early twenties so firming and anti-wrinkle masks really aren't my thing.
This had a strong smell of lavender. The smell was noticeable while the mask was on and it was honestly too much for my taste.
The sheet was soaked in thick and viscous essence. There was plenty of essence left in the pouch.
I left the mask on for 20 minutes before it started to dry. The first few minutes I was wearing the mask, it did sting on my skin. After taking the sheet off, it left a sticky residue. My skin felt hydrated and it had a little glow.

Review
When I first saw the ingredients list, I feared that this would be drying because of the amount of alcohol. Luckily, that wasn't the case.
This mask had a pleasant smell of honey. It was noticeable while on but it didn't bother me.
The essence was white, thick and lotion-y. There was about a tablespoon amount of essence left in the pouch.
I left the mask on for 20 minutes before it started to dry. The remaining essence on my skin absorbed within five minutes. It didn't leave any sticky residue. It left my skin moisturized and glowing.

Review
Once again, alcohol is high on the ingredients list and I could smell that. The alcohol smell wasn't noticeable while the mask was on.
The essence was thicker than essence and it was viscous. There was plenty of essence left in the pouch.
I left the mask on for 20 minutes before it started to dry. While wearing the mask, it had a pleasant cooling effect.
The remaining essence on my skin absorbed after a few minutes. It didn't leave any sticky residue. The redness on my cheeks was reduced and my skin was soothed.
These masks were sent to me by www.kocono.dk/ for review purposes. All opinions are my own.
