Hahaha! ๐๐๐ Ainโt that the truth!! @veronika23 @eshoe
@veronika23 @eshoe @itsfi I really love these gifs!! Fat cats are my favorite๐๐ฑ
I wanted to post this earlier... oh well. ๐ This was for last week's challenge: F/Vitamins Week. The second mask is from Fresh so it falls under the challenge. ๐ Yesterday I did a mask combo that I really love. I used the Mahalo Bean mask followed by the fresh Crรจme Ancienneยฎ Ultimate Nourishing Honey Mask.
For me the Mahalo Bean mask is a great masking experience since I love it's coffee/chocolate/vanilla scent! I think it's my favorite smelling mask. This is a thick paste like mask that is best applied on very wet skin. I just mist parts of my face before applying it to each section to make sure it applies well. While I do have sensitive skin I always leave it on for 20-30 minutes since I'm used to it... she recommends less time for sensitive skin. This is one that does dry down and can become a bit hard but when you remove the mask you are supposed to add water and gently massage it off so you get a gentle exfoliation. I won't lie... it's a bit of a pita to remove because it takes a while to get it all off your face but I still really love it. It leaves my skin really soft and beautiful.
I followed with what I had left of the fresh Crรจme Ancienneยฎ Ultimate Nourishing Honey Mask. I had a ds left and didn't buy a FS this year because I splurged on the Kypris instead. I don't find that the bean mask dries out my skin or anything I just like using the Fresh mask for more hydration afterwards. This one also smells nice and not too strong. It's like a honey cream and it's very easy to apply and remove. I usually massage the extra I have on my hands followed by a quick rinse and it makes my hands super soft. It stayed on for 10 minutes which is what they recommend. Again my skin was left baby soft and beautiful. I just like how they both make my skin incredibly soft and smooth. They are both A+ in my book.
You definitely need to give it a try! You can sample it at the detox market. ๐ @lmaster
@veronika23 it's in the cart at beautylish ๐
Hahahaha! You might want to check if it's in stock at Alyaka in the UK... they have 20% off at the moment! I think the code is LOVE. @lmaster
Coffee, mocha,roses, chocolate yep @veronika23 I have no will power ๐ Thank you!! I'm going to check that site out right now ๐ค๐๐ค๐
Cross fingers it's in stock!!! @lmaster Oh Alyaka is also on Top Cashback UK... might still be at 10% cashback... pm me if you need a referral.
Thanks so much @veronika23 you're the bestest ๐ค๐
@veronika23 The mahalo mask sounds really nice. I am loving the scents of the samples I have, there's such a huge difference between regular skincare scents and some of the natural luxe brands.
@CC3616 yeah there is definitely a huge difference! Did you try this one yet? I can't remember. ๐
Ahhhh such a nice blend @veronika23! I imagine the Fresh would be a great nourishment after such light exfoliation. Do you know about how much you use in terms of ml per use? The site showed her using a pretty generous layer and I use the bare minimum so Iโm wondering what normal looks like๐
It was a nice nourishment. ๐ Sorry I don't. I don't measure it out... It's not crazy thick but not light either... if I think back to your sample container... that would have probably been one use for me... if that's any help. @eshoe
I think for most people it would be 1/2 a use @veronika23 , you did well ๐
Well it could have been 2 uses too... I just don't know since I scoop a bit out at a time to apply to each section of my face. ๐ @eshoe
@veronika23 Oooh, these both sound great!! I've always been curious about that Fresh mask, just not curious enough to pay full price for it! ๐ The results sound amazing!
I didn't know the Mahalo Bean mask had that kind of scent! That sounds delicious! Haha! I think I could put up with the pita removal for that scent and those results! ๐๐
@Shosh85 hahaha yeah. It is pretty pricey! I usually buy it during the sale in Nov since it's better for winter months. It does have that scent!!! It's true you also love the coffee scents! I think you would like this one... definitely try it if you get samples at The Detox Market.
@veronika23 I wasn't sold on the Rose one โ (I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to handle the scent) but this one Id definitely love to try! I think I just might have to get a sample of it ๐
