Yeah @ather, it was very strange. I wonder if it was just that one particular glove. I have to pick up another one for myself during the sale now - all in the name of research 🧐🔬, of course. 😉 

[curlychiquita]

Thanks for sharing your reviews, @itsfi! I definitely want the foot mask.

[itsfi]

I tend to prefer the foot masks from this collection as well @curlychiquita! 

[ather]

@itsfi  Yes!!!! I also look forward to the hand and foot masks also. I love the packaging!!! What is the hello syrup? I can’t wait to see your new nail polishes in action!

[itsfi]

Those hand and foot masks are a great way to start the unwinding process @ather - something about having limited use of your hands and feet while wearing them makes it easier to not do too much. 🤣 The design team at Sephora Collection does a first rate job with the illustrations on these masks - so festive! 😍

Hello Syrup is such a catchy name, isn’t it?! It draws you in, or it definitely did me. 😆 It’s gel polish from South Korea. 💅🏼 I’ve read the formula is thicker. I guess I’ll find out when I give it a try. Lol. 

[ather]

@itsfi  I agree the name definitely draws me in! I can’t wait to hear your thoughts!

[CynthieLu]

These are lovely photos @itsfi enjoy your haul! 

[itsfi]

Thank you @CynthieLu; very nice of you to say. It’ll be a lot of fun putting these beauties to the test. 😀

[CynthieLu]

Enjoy all the fun! @itsfi I love getting new goodies but playing with them is even better 😄

[itsfi]

So true @CynthieLu! 👍🏼 I am trying to be better about getting to them quickly around the time they come in. That doesn’t always happen but it’s a work in progress. 😆

@itsfi 

those hand and foot masks are cute! does the ginseng essence smell like ginseng?

[itsfi]

They are very cute @nuinui933; Sephora Collection does a great job every year with them. 👍🏼 

The Saro du Rue x Gothamista essence has a very, very faint ginseng scent. I only pick it up when I put my nose into my hands after pouring out some essence. It dissipates quickly.  The scent on the Sulwhasoo serum, on the other hand, is stronger, more prominent. It does eventually fade away, but not nearly as quickly as the essence. The scent on the serum is that traditional ginseng / Hanbang scent. I also pick up a faint alcohol smell, not great but it doesn’t linger.

Beautiful picks! I love the skincare!! @itsfi 

[itsfi]

@sister13, thank you! Ginseng is a great skincare ingredient. I am looking forward to trying out these new skincare goodies! 😍

[Loretta55]

Great hauls @itsfi. What we don’t try for scientific purposes. LOL

[itsfi]

Hahahaha @Loretta55! Science is a huge motivator around here, isn’t it?! 🧪🧫🧬 I’m suuure it’ll be the cause for many hauls this holiday season. 😂🤣😂 

[Loretta55]

I ordered the #SEPHORA COLLECTION Gingerbread Face Mask 1 mask / 1 mask for scientific purpose @itsfi. If it works the way that I am hoping that it should work it may be a game changer for my daytime skincare routine. It is supposed to work in 5 minutes. So I plan on wearing it while showering then I am hoping for more plump facial skin. It is supposed to arrive later today so I should be able to test it tomorrow then I can post my results on the masking thread.

@Loretta55 ,

I have never thought of using a face mask (sheet mask) in the shower.  This could be a game changer!  You don't wear a sheet mask if you are going to wash your hair in the shower, do you?  I guess that one could wash hair first, then put on a sheet mask...

[Loretta55]

I take quick showers @tsavorite . They are never more than 5 minutes. It really works for some quick facial benefits. I don’t use face masks when I wash my hair. I will use a wash off mask when I deep condition my hair.

[itsfi]

Ohhhh yeaaaahhh @Loretta55! 😁 I am excited to hear your thoughts on this mask. Staying tuned!!! @Kim888, we're gonna find out soon how the gingerbread mask performs! Loretta55 is taking one for the team and will put it to the test! 😉

Loretta55, forgive me for asking something that I'm pretty sure you may have shared previously, but I can't seem to recall - do you typically use a sheet mask in the morning in the shower? I can't say that I've done that with a sheet mask and I'm intrigued; sounds like a fabulous approach!

[Loretta55]

I have not done it in awhile @itsfi @because you need to leave the mask on for at least 15 - 20 minutes which I never seem to have in the morning. When I left the mask on it worked out beautifully. Only a lip mask did not survive in the shower.
