This is such a great post! I love the Moroccanoil Moroccanoil Treatment 1.7 oz/ 50 mL for my dry hair. It makes it nice and shiny. <333

Hi @cindyvonlovely,

Great empties. The blanket underneath is so cute too!

Best,
Rebecca

So I never post empties. The only stuff I ever finish is skincare and shower products. These are all loves. Paula's Choice Clear pore normalising cleanser, and Clear anti redness exfoliating solution (this is 2% bha). Also Paula's Choice 8% aha gel. I'm a big fan of these products and have repurchased a couple times now. They've made a huge difference in my acne and overall skin clarity. And last a pretty much lifetime favorite, Molton Brown Pink Pepper body wash. I always complain about it being expensive but a bottle lasts a good 6 months if you lather it up with a shower pouf. I literally get out of the shower and find myself sniffing my arm randomly, it just smells SO good. I highly recommend all of these.

@sprocketta Thanks for posting your empties! I love reading what you think 🙂

Best,
Rebecca

Late posting of last month's sheet mask empties:

Spoiler

These were LOVES - a mix of tried-and-true sheet masks I keep on hand and some new-to-me masks that will definitely be making their way into the rotation. The standouts among the newbies are the Sasatinnie Blue Sapphire and the Lovemore Loofah & Aloe Vera masks.

* Sasatinnie Blue Sapphire Illuminating Bio-Cellulose Mask
* Primera Milk Thistle Seed Sheet Mask (Brightening)
* Mediheal x Line Friends I.P.I. Lightmax Ampoule Mask
* The Creme Shop Turmeric Face Mask
* Miniso x We Bare Bears Moisturizing & Glossy Eyes Mask
* Lovemore Loofah & Aloe Vera Sheet Mask
* My Beauty Diary Antarctica Glycoproteins Moisturizing Mask

Spoiler

Loves-Likes: Leaders, The Face Shop, SNP and Too Cool For School are solid brands in my book when it comes to sheet masks and these particular ones are no exception. I discovered Annie's Way this year (I'm pretty sure it was earlier this year) and their sheet masks have proven to be a hit with my skin. I was first introduced to LookAtMe masks last year and really enjoyed them. The line of masks that this watermelon one is a part is popular among some on the mask thread; the watermelon one stands out for me. I was treated to a Hallyu sheet mask a few months ago and liked it so much that I went to pick up the other sheet masks from the brand.

* Leaders Daily Wonder What Happened Last Night? Revitalizing Radiance Sheet Mask
* Hallyu Jeju Tangerine Jelly Mask
* Leaders Pro Hydra Hyaluronic Mask Sheet
* Too Cool For School Pumpkin Hydra Gold Eye Gel Patch
* The Face Shop Bio-Cell Moisturizing Face Mask
* SNP Animal Dragon Soothing Mask
* Look At Me Watermelon Face Mask
* Annie's Way Lavendar + Chamomile Mask Sheet

Likes - You could say I'm slightly obsessed with sheet masks - lol. Having many to choose from means I can have a lot of great ones so it can be hard to draw a line between what's amazing and what's really good, even great, on its own but may not have the same sentiments when compared to another mask, especially when compared to masks within their same brands and/or lines. That's very much the case with these masks from boo Bamboo (a new fave brand of mine), Holika Holika and Yadah, with the exception of the Trader Joe's pumpkin one here (which I much prefer to their original sheet mask).

* boo Bamboo Bamboo Fiber Charcoal Sheet Mask - Pore Refining
* Holika Holika Instantly Brewing Tea Bag Mask - Green Tea
* Trader Joe's Pumpkin Spice Biocellulose Face Mask
* Yadah Red Energy Foil Mask

Also in the "likes" camp is the Yadah Collagen Mask Pack, which makes for a great daily mask.

Spoiler

Nothing wrong with these masks - they do not irritate my skin nor do they cause any breakouts or other negative results. They're just okay. I'd use them if I have them, but there's just masks I prefer over these ones.

* Innisfree Quick Tone-Up Mask | Violet - Moisturizing & Tone - Up
* briskin Real Fit Second Skin Mask - Elasticity & Lifting
* Dr. Jart+ Rubber Mask Bright Lover
* Pure Smile Choosy Lip Mask (Honey)

[lmaster]

wow @itsfi you really went all out with the yadah!! great discipline on your part 😉

[itsfi]

Thank you @lmaster! 🙂 I like the results I get with daily masking, which serves as a good motivator on days when the idea of masking sounds good but actually doing it feels harder. I'm thinking about doing it again next month.

[l8totheparty]

All the masks!  💗 @itsfi 

[itsfi]

I'm definitely working my way through my stash @l8totheparty, 🙂 and finding proof that my skin does well with daily sheet masking, sometimes twice daily masking. I don't think it's suited for everyone but my dehydrated-combo/dry skin is a fan. 

[emaisgr8]

@itsfi  How was the monthly snail masks compared to the other daily masking that you did previously? Which did you prefer?

[itsfi]

@emaisgr8, thanks for remembering my previous monthly masking. There were pros and cons to each of them. I liked them both but had a slight preference for using the Yadah masks (individually wrapped) as they were a lot more convenient to travel with. Those masks also held more essence so I could mask longer if I wanted and there were a few days here and there when I did leave the mask on longer. I *may* give daily sheet masking another try in November but with a slight variation on the most recent go at it - I'm thinking about picking 4 or 5 different masks that I'll rotate through during the month. 

[emaisgr8]

@itsfi  Oh thats good. I can't wait to hear about your next adventure. 

[lmaster]

trash for the week : LOVES LookAtMe watermelon mask favorite ever!! the creme shop confection perfection was excellent and FAB coconut water cream is one of my top favorite moisturizers. LIKES I loved the results and scent of all three masks, but didn't care for the sheet itself, the bath and body works foaming soap was meh as far as scent and devacurl b leav in is ok, I'm just still trying other hair products, so who knows I might go back to it later on. DIDN'T LIKE Sunday Riley ceramic slip, Vita Liberata was not very impressive as far as this self tanning lotion goes and the LaMer moisturizer is just too thick for my skin type

[CC3616]

@lmaster I used that self tanner earlier this week and my feet are oompa loompa orange 🙂

[lmaster]

Oh my!!! @CC3616 I really like loving tan and Isle of Paradise Self-Tanning Water Medium
