@IndyQT317 Glad to hear you liked this OH set! I've only tried the one in the orange package and loved it! The Bite mask is a good way to complete the pampering๐
Oooh @IndyQT317!! ๐ Iโm a fan of the OH peel set in the orange box; I picked up this blue set at TJ Maxx and canโt wait to try it out! โPower Peelโ just sounds so good! ๐๐ผ
@IndyQT317 This masking looks like something I want to use soooo bad but my skin just runs the other direction ๐ Everything about it looks great, I might just need to try it sometime anyway! Loved the OH Walnut scrub, I bet the Almond has a very pleasant scent.
Ouch @IndyQT317!!! Peel-off masks are the enemy of eyebrows, the first one I used pulled some out๐ Yours sounds pretty painful, at least you learned and now I did too (though I donโt know if Iโll be brave enough for another peel-off mask anytime soon).
The Almond scrub sounds so good, thanks for the review!
@IndyQT317 I remember enjoying this mask system, but needing to be careful with the physical exfoliator if memory serves. But it did have such a nice effect on my skin. Glad to hear another positive review as well! The Bite lip mask is a staple for me too! Such great products!
I finally got to using the Creme Shop Hello Kitty Ready Set Glow sheet mask with 24K Gold! I've been meaning to use this all week and for some reason just kept pushing it. I thought the mask had a very light scent when I first opened it, but it dissipated so quickly that I couldn't place it. The mask was a pretty good fit, just a smidge large at the temples, lots of slits to adjust the outer perimeter though. I left it on for about a half hour/40 minutes until it started to dry up a bit mostly on my nose and upper lip. My skin looked nice and moisturized with a light glow to it afterwards. I did feel the need to put on some moisturizer after about 10/15 minutes.
I used the LP detox shampoo in my shower just before and I'll need to wait until my hair dries to write up that review on @eshoe 's gratis thread. The DE Passioni went on about a half hour after I was done with the sheet mask. No tingling or anything, but I did soak on a nice layer of Lala overtop!
@lmaster This was the first hello kitty mask I've actually tried! It was very cute!
First of all I want to congratulate you on your gratis @missjeanie ! ๐ฅณ How would you grade the Hello Kitty Ready Set Glow mask ? Iโm curious about this mask ๐ง ! Iโve only tried the PTR gold mask and I really enjoyed it. @itsfi was so kind to have sent me another one, I didnโt go out this week so Iโm keeping it for a really special occasion !
The mask got bonus points from me for being cute. But I think in terms of moisture/hydration it was lacking a bit on results. Now I don't mean that this is a bad one in any way shape or form. I've just tried other sheet masks that do a better job in my opinion. Moisture is generally what I'm out to find from a sheet mask... and a fun experience. The brightening effect was there for a short time, but once I went to put my night time skin care on about a half hour after I took it off I couldn't notice anything anymore. I'd say for me this is a solid B+. I probably wouldn't seek these out, but I'll happily use what I have. If I run across anymore I'd still pick them up for all the ladies here who are super Hello Kitty fans of course! @keana1
I also seek moisturizing and hydrating masks more often than other masks @missjeanie . I love masks that contain peptides also! โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ peptides! Almost everyone in this thread knows that Iโm a peptide addict ! LOL ๐
@keana1 I haven't fully gotten on the peptide train just yet. I did purchase the DE Peptide cream but I haven't really fallen in love with it just yet.... need a bit more time I think.
Take all the time you need @missjeanie ! My favorite morning cream is the DE Protini ! I just fell in love with it the second I applied it on my face! We all have different reactions to skincare products, my skin loves peptides but your skin might not be receptive to peptides. There are so many different ingredients available now that are great in skincare and also clean at the same time!
Oh how I ๐ that HK mask @missjeanie! Iโve only used it once and loved it, but then, Iโm partial to HK๐
Interested to see what you have to say about the Detox shampoo. I havenโt used it again but plan to this week; it is SO clarifying that I didnโt feel it necessary to use weekly, when I only add styling products to my hair 1-2x a week. My water is hard but the first use did such a job on my hair that any further cleaning might be too harsh.
First Impression on the Detox shampoo is that I like it. I was glad it didn't strip any colour out, at least not that I noticed, and my hair and scalp does feel clean. I'm still trying to figure out how exactly to put it into words.
@missjeanie So glad to hear you liked the Hello Kitty mask! It sounds nice! ๐ I have a pack of them I still haven't tried yet โ was planning to try it for H week! ๐
