Thank you @sephoraaddict918, that’s all I need to know I will need to try those soon😊

Mostly loves when it came to sheet masks ... which is surprising because it was the first time that I used these masks and many of them were for the 'gross' ingredients week in last week's Mask of the Week Challenge. 

"I love you forever" sheet masks! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Spoiler

Top row:

• Elensilia-IntraCELL Escargot + Placenta Firming Mask - whoa! I actually felt that it provided some firming, around the under eye area - a pleasant surprise.
• TonyMoly Pureness 100 Caviar Mask Sheet (Nutrition) - I'm not super keen on caviar or fish eggs, but this mask is very much a repurchase for me
• Holika Holika Skin Rescuer Mask Sheet – Hyaluronic Acid - leaves skin looking and feeling refreshed and hydrated
• TonyMoly Pureness 100 Placenta Mask Sheet (Vitality) - love the unbleached cotton sheet mask and ingredients list, including the soybean placenta that is used in the serum

Bottom row:

• Holika Holika Prime Youth Black Sea Cucumber Mask Sheet - 2-piece hydrogel; one of the best fitting mask
• boo Bamboo Sheet Mask Hydrating (Coconut) - great ingredients list; love the charcoal bamboo fiber material of the sheet mask; love the hydration and subtle scent to the mask
• Benton Snail Bee High Content Mask Pack - would make a nice everyday mask

"I like you a lot" sheet masks! 🙂

Spoiler

• Heimish Low pH Hydrating Mask Sheet - good hydrating mask; this could make a good once-a-week or daily mask; will repurchase and test out to see if results get better with use
• Secret Nature Fermentated Jeju Horse Oil Mask Pack - surprised I like this one (hydrated and glowy skin), but probably would not repurchase
• Faith in Face Signature Gold Mask - lots of serum in the sheet mask; would repurchase but would try making different adjustments to the mask to help the part above the upper lip from slipping around so much

"Maybe" - not bad, but not a standout

Spoiler

• Salon de Bi Joie Foot Mask Placenta Moisture Treatment Pack - nice fit, has a slight floral-ish scent that lingers after the mask has been removed
• The Lotus Jeju Soothing + Whitening Mask (Step 2 of The Pure Lotus Home Spa Mask Pack) - the only mask from the 3 step mask pack that didn't tingle or sting

"It's not you, it's me"

Spoiler

• The Lotus Jeju Moisturizing + Wrinkle Treatment (Cream Type) Mask (Step 3 of The Pure Lotus Home Spa Mask Pack) - this is just "meh"; was fine but the tingling near the last 5 minutes I could do without.

"NO. It's you, it's definitely you!"

Spoiler

• The Lotus Jeju Exfoliating Mask (Step 1 of The Pure Lotus Home Spa Mask Pack) - I removed it after having it on my face for a minute because of the stinging.

@itsfi , the stinging of the lotus masks does not sound fun!

[itsfi]

@curlychiquita, it was definitely not fun. I've never taken off a sheet mask so early or so quickly. It's just odd because my skin should be accustomed to lactic acid, but it was either too high a concentration for me or the combination with other ingredients wasn't something my skin liked. 😞

[lmaster]

@itsfi good job getting through your "it's you" masks...love that 😉

[itsfi]

@lmaster, it was definitely not the most fun masking experience.😂

[RebeccaBT]

@itsfi Wow! So many great masks, thanks for sharing 🙂

Best,
Rebecca 

[itsfi]

Such a surprise how many good masks came out of last week’s mask challenge @RebeccaBT! Learned a lot about different ingredients and now my list of masks to buy is even longer!! 😂

[RebeccaBT]

@itsfi Everytime I learn about new ingredients I am the same way!  

Best,
Rebecca 

[eshoe]

😂😂😂 @itsfi love your commentary 😊

[itsfi]

Thanks @eshoe! 😃 It makes masking that much more fun! The “I love you forever” category is courtesy of @scott1201! 🤣💗

[blackkitty2014]

Love love these products. Most of these had been repurchased multiple times. I won’t repurchase AmorePacific for a while due to the price but they remain my favorite at all time.

These are stable or loved samples

These are just misc samples and okay for me

[lmaster]

awesome trash! @blackkitty2014 I just started using amorepacific and love it

[missjeanie]

@blackkitty2014 that's quite the load of empties!  Awesome that there were no "hate" category items!

[itsfi]

Ohhhh, those AmorePacific skincare goodies, @blackkitty2014!! *swoon* The Time Response line is amazing! LOVE! ♥️ 

[blackkitty2014]

@itsfi , AP Time Response is really amazing. I decided to take a break from them after 3 yrs so my wallet can breathe 😂🤣. If you ever decide to try, buy from Neiman Marcus. They have free facial every 2-3 months or so for their loyal customers. They are 30 min session (if I don’t remember wrong) in a private setting and they use all the goodies including Time Responses and other premium stuffs 

[itsfi]

Ohhh, this is good to know @blackkitty2014! A facial sounds relaxing and good for the skin! I tried a sample of the AP Time Response moisturizer and loved it! ♥️ I’m trying to use up what I have first and unless I find something I love in my skincare stash, I’ll probably pick up the AP later in the year.  It is an investment, isn’t it?! 😉

[sonnydee]

What do you love about the omorvicza cleansing foam? @blackkitty2014 

[blackkitty2014]

@sonnydee , it is the best cleanser i had used.  It is gentle yet it does a good job taking away all the mascara, makeup, etc and gave me a squeaky clean face 🙂  I wish it is a bit cheaper though. 😉

[sonnydee]

I bought a travel size of it, I've been wanting to try it out but cant seem to cheat on my AP cleansing foam. 😍 thanks for replying @blackkitty2014 😉

[blackkitty2014]

@sonnydee ,  AP cleansing foam is a very good one.  I have repurchased that many times before too. 😉
