That would be a great idea @yankeefaithful ! I would definitely buy it! ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ Love avocados in skincare, itโs such a wonderful ingredient!
This is a fabulous winter evening masking combination, @keana1! I love avocados ๐ฅ๐ฅ and I love the Glow Recipe avocado sleeping mask! Waking up to moisturized skin is a great feeling! ๐๐ I also mix in a hemp oil from time to time with the avocado mask. ๐๐๐ผ The Herbivore Emerald Oil has been a nice one for me!
It took a while for the Emerald oil to be available in Canada! We have some similar ideas ( mixing hemp oil with the Avocado Melt ), I love it @itsfi ! ๐
@keana1 I love that so many people have been enjoying this sleeping mask! It's on my to try list for sure!
You should definitely try this mask @missjeanie ! Iโm so glad that I bought it! No regrets! ๐
Wednesday masking was GlamGlow day ! After cleansing I applied a thin layer of the GLAMGLOW - SUPERMUDยฎ Activated Charcoal Treatment
and used it as a mask ( it contains kaolin, activated charcoal to remove impurities and 5 different exfoliating acids ). After leaving it on for 5 minutes I rinsed it off while very gently massaging my face. This mask is more suited for oily/acneic skin types which isnโt really my case. This left my skin feeling quite soft and not irritated ( since I only left it on for a short time ) Grade B+.
Before going to bed, instead of using the DRUNK ELEPHANT - Lala Retroโข Whipped Cream
I applied a generous layer of the GLAMGLOW - THIRSTYMUDโข Hydrating Treatment
as an overnight mask ( it can also be used as a rinse off mask ). This mask always gives me plump and very moisturized skin. I even use it in summer when my skin is less dry. It smells like a Pina Colada on your skin ๐ฅฅ๐ ! Grade A+
It smells amazing ๐ฅฅ๐ @lmaster !
Ooooh I've only tried a foil of the Thirsty Mud @keana1, but are seriously making me want to try more! Thanks for the reviews, and the reminder that it has such a great scent๐
Youโre welcome @eshoe ! Maybe you can try the smallest jar of the Thirstymud first before opting for a bigger size jar or tube since everybodyโs skin reacts differently to masks and skincare?
@keana1 These are a couple of favorites of mine! So glad you like them too! I love using the SuperMud as a spot treatment โ it works so well! The ThirstyMud is one I've repurchased several times because it just feels so great on my dry skin โ and the delicious scent is a major plus too! ๐๐๐ฅฅ
This my second jar of the Thirstymud @Shosh85 ! The smell is so great, every time I use it, I feel like Iโm at a beach somewhere! ๐๐๐โโ๏ธ
Love these skincare choices @keana1! ๐ Iโm using the ThirstyMud this morning as a moisturizer. Love the scent when I open the jar, and itโs so hydrating too!
oh my gosh @keana1 I'm so jealous! I wanted to love that Glam Glow Hydrating Treatment soooo much. The scent of it was just amazing! Unfortunately it broke me out in hives. That scent though... mmmmmmmm
Iโm sorry that your skin disagreed with this mask @missjeanie ! Did you try it as a rinse off mask or as an overnight mask ?
Originally I tried it as an overnight mask. After the first reaction I set it aside. Then a few months later I tried it as a rinse off. still a no go for my skin. I was so in love with the scent too! lol
Sorry it didnโt work out as a rinse off mask either @missjeanie !
@keana1 that's ok. Not all skincare is going to work for everyone. I just loved that scent so much! I'd love it as a fragrance!
I agree with you, it would be a lovely fragrance @missjeanie !
For Friday, "G" was about green tea masks.
"G" is for Goodal on Snail Saturday ๐
I received the Goodal Premium Snail Tone-Up Hydro Gel Mask from the fabulous @Shosh85 โ thank you! Itโs a 2-piece hydrogel mask aimed at moisturizing and brightening. Notable ingredients are snail mucin and ginseng extract. I donโt always have the best experiences with hydrogel mask, primarily because I find them to be very slippery. With most, but not all, hydrogel masks, I need to lie down for the mask to stay in place. The fit on the mask was okay โ itโs a large mask, especially the width, and the strip of mask above the lip area is extremely slippery; I had a hard time getting it to stay in place. With this mask, I was able to do some work on my computer for the 30 minutes that I had the sheet mask on, but at the end of that time, the bottom half started sliding down and the left side of the top half of the mask was slowly peeling off on its own. No big deal because I was coming to the end of my mask time, which was also longer than the recommended 20 minutes. Thereโs a bit of essence sitting on top of my skin when I removed the mask but that was absorbed easily and quickly once I patted and pressed it in. My skin is just ever so slightly tacky to the touch, but looks hydrated and bright โ I look well rested and thatโs a good thing. In terms of fit, it wasnโt the best hydrogel mask, but the results from the mask are quite good; Iโd give it an "A-".
