@missjeanie it definitely was an experience
@lmaster I guess this is more of a mask that you focus on the outcome and not how you got it.. lol. Chunky milk essence. Loved your description. Glad it worked out despite the few negatives.
@GalPalVal17 it took some deep down courage 😂😂
I tried out this little combo yesterday. Green tea moisture mask with Glow Recipe Avocado sleep mask and Green Apple/Lime lip sleep mask.
The mask was decent. It had a lot of serum on it but didn't drip. The fit was ok. The top half fit well but the mouth hole was large. I had to squish the part between the nose and mouth so it wouldn't slip onto my lips and the same with my chin area so it would get some serum. At least it stayed when I did that. Left if on for about 25 mins or so and it wasn't dry so could have gone longer but I usually mask at night during the week and it was getting close to falling asleep time. I wanted to let it soak up so I could apply the Avocado mask to lock in the moisture. There was tackiness but I'm sure I didn't wait long enough to know if it would all get absorbed before falling asleep. I did wake up with hydrated skin which was the goal. So happy for that.
@GalPalVal17 Love all of your G's and greens!
I love your theme here, @GalPalVal17! I haven’t read through all of the comments, but wondering if you applied a regular moisturizer before the Avocado Melt to help with the tackiness? I’ve used that sheet mask before and agree, it’s not bad, not great, cute packaging though😄
@GalPalVal17 Awesome products! I love the LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask Intense Hydration with Vitamin C Original
Best,
Rebecca
@RebeccaBT I love it too. I'm so glad I picked up the variety Holiday set because I like the different flavors. 🙂
@GalPalVal17 I am so sad I didn't get that set! I really wanted to try the other flavors. If any other flavors come out, I am jumping on it 🙂
@lmaster looks like this is the perfect week for green tea! Love the alphabet to help the challenge.
@GalPalVal17 Great combo of masks! I'm happy to hear you woke up with nice, hydrated skin! 👍😊
@Shosh85 waking up with hydrating skin is always a plus. Lets you forget about the tackiness or whatever was wrong. Sometimes it about the experience but sometimes it truly is about the results especially when I feel dry.
Love your G masks @GalPalVal17! The Glow Recipe avocado 🥑 mask is one of my faves; it’s been good to me this winter; will be interesting to see how it holds up in the summer months. Thanks for reviewing the Cosmetea sheet mask; I have that one but haven’t used it yet. I chuckle sometimes wondering about the face model for these sheet masks.
@itsfi I have a good laugh when I'm trying to make it fit. Just makes me go hmmmm lol
@GalPalVal17What a great masking combo! Glad it all worked out in the end. Great use of the G theme!
@missjeanie Thanks. Its fun going thru the stash to see how to fit the theme/letter of the day.
"G" is for red ginseng. The Papa Recipe Bombee Ginseng Red Honey Oil Mask is also one of my every day “special occasion” mask, meaning it’s my mask for an otherwise regular day when I need (or just want) my skin to look extra, and I wanted my skin to look extra on Tuesday!
This sheet mask is made of paper mulberry, which is a type of plant that is native to Asia. The mask feels slightly thicker than the standard sheet mask, but it adheres very well to the skin; it almost feels as if you’re not wearing a sheet mask. Usual adjustments were made to the chin, inner and outer corners of the eyes and corners of the mouth. I left the mask on for 20-25 minutes, and when I removed the mask, it felt damp, like I could have left it on for another 10 minutes.
There’s a good amount of essence in the mask, but it’s not at all drippy. The essence contains several oils (camellia, evening primrose, rosa canina) and ginseng, honey and propolis extracts. I’m sometimes nervous about so many oils in a sheet mask making my skin look greasy and super shiny, but that’s not the case at all with this sheet mask. My skin looks hydrated, moisturized and healthy and it makes a nice prep before makeup. This one gets an “A” from me.
@itsfi did it smell “ginseng-y”? I have red ginseng mask I never use because it’s a little too earthy for me (read: smells like dirt), but I don’t know if that’s just the specific mask I have, or if I’m just sensitive to the smell of ginseng 🤔 also - LOVE being extra on a Tuesday. Everyday needs more “extra” 😂😂
