Man @Shosh85 I was SO excited for that mask, too! Again, high expectations rarely pan out🙄
Yeah I’m actually pretty excited about the Passioni now that I know I don’t need to fear it😂 We’ll see what a few weeks do!
Apparently I own a lot of gold masks 😉
Sephora The Golden Mask
This is a cotton and gold foil sheet mask – with cotton on the inside and gold foil on the outside. In my opinion though, this looks more orange than gold, especially compared to the others I've tried. Basically, it looks more Oompa Loompa-ish than C3PO-ish. 😉😂 It was soaking with serum, that had a light scent, but it's hard to describe exactly. In the ingredients there is fragrance half way down, followed by tangerine peel extract and honey extract – I'd say it was a mix of all three, but the fragrance/perfumy scent stood out the most. I feel it was pretty unnecessary to add that fragrance and I would've preferred just the tangerine and honey scent, but it was still fine nonetheless. It had a pretty good fit – just a little too long at the chin, a tad too short at the forehead and the mouth hole was just a bit too small. It adhered well and was comfortable to wear. I kept it on for about a half-hour, when the bottom half stopped sticking to my face. When I removed it, there was just a little serum left that was very slightly tacky, but absorbed quickly. My face looked brighter, felt comfortably hydrated, had a soft and smooth feel, and had a very nice glow. I really liked this one, and would use again if one happened to come into my possession, but I'd probably not repurchase. I didn't think it was necessary to include fragrance, so because of that I give it a B+

@lmaster It was still a pretty nice mask! Even my super picky nose was able to handle it ok. 😉 I definitely think it would have been sooo much better if they just left it out. 🤷♀️
I do like the results from this mask but, ugh, added fragrance! 😑 Why @Shosh85, why?!! It’s so unnecessary especially given the ingredients with this mask, which you make look great!! 👍🏼
@itsfi I don't mind it so much if it's the last ingredient in the list, but it was half way down on this one! I'm pretty sure I would've loved it if the fragrance wasn't in there and it was just the tangerine and honey scent. 🍊🍯
@Shosh85 I agree tangerine and honey would have been enough of a pleasant scent for me. You do always looks so good in your foil masks!
Thanks, @missjeanie! I really don't understand why they feel added fragrance is necessary. 🤔😕 Usually when it's at the bottom of the list it's not so bad, but I'd still rather it was just left out completely.
@Shosh85 Right! Especially when you're including other ingredients that already have a lovely scent to them without the fragrance needing to be added!
I really love your posting format, @Shosh85! You cover everything and it’s always entertaining to see your mask photo😂 I haven’t tried this one but I did use the silver one and thought it was really nice. I do like the 2-piece foil masks over the 1-piece masks for sure, though!
@eshoe I definitely prefer the two peice ones better – you can always get them to fit better (or remove the bottom half so you can eat. Haha!) This one looks like a two peice because of where the fold is, but it's just one peice. I tried the Silver one a while back, and I think I liked that one better than the gold. 🙃😉
Oh @Shosh85 I must have missed that-yes this does look like a 2-piecer!
@sonnydee, Ginger Ade sounds great!! 👍🏼 I like that these I Dew Care masks are available in a mini set! Makes it easier to use it up and allows for variety! That Gudetama hair band is very cute!
@sonnydee The I Dew Care sounds like something I'd like! The results sound pretty great! I ask my husband to sniff things for me all the time, and every time he looks at me as though I'm about to pull a prank on him and make him smell poo or something. Haha! I have to reassure him I just want a second opinion! 😂😂
I love that headband! I think they need to make the "meh" a little bigger, and it'd be even more perfect. 😆😄😉
@sonnydee Yes, I agree, it does sound more like a summer mask for me. 👍😉
Man there are so many great detox and exfoliating masks @sonnydee! I was planning to head there this weekend, I’ll see if they have any in stock. Last time I went (a week or so ago?) they had most of them on clearance.
