Oooh, you picked up the new mint balm, @itsfi! I'm a sucker for the Fresh sugar lip balms, so I can't wait to add this one to the collection.
I really like this Fresh lip balm @quspork! ๐ I may have to pick up a back up! ๐
It takes A LOT for me to be truly grossed out. Either because I'm a tom boy or because I have two boys (or both๐) โ but I didn't want to wait for weird week to try it ๐ so this week it is ๐
Gamdong Karatica Gold Duck's Egg Gold Foil Mask
This is a two-piece, dual layer, cotton and gold foil mask โ with the cotton on the inside and foil on the outside. It had plenty of serum and had a clean and fresh scent โ (I was a little worried about what I'd find with the scent on this one โ so happy it doesn't resemble any kind of egg smell๐) The fit was pretty big all the way around โ and because I'm too lazy (and don't have a lot of time) to try and cut these masks, I just ended up folding it over, and that seemed to work just fine. After adjusting it, it felt comfortable to wear and adhered well. I kept it on for about 40 minutes. When I removed it there was only a little serum left on my face that was just very slightly tacky โ but that went away in a matter of minutes. My face looked a little brighter, felt super soft and smooth, and had some great hydration. I liked everything but the fit on this one, so I give it an A-
Ingredients:
Photo: (before and after adjusting)
@lmaster I knew it was going to be big, because it tells you on the package that it's a "wide mask sheet that covers all face sizes"
Id be interesting to hear what you think of it when you get around to it. ๐๐
Thatโs a lot of extra mask with this one @Shosh85! At the forehead too - Iโm not sure Iโve ever used a mask that was too big for my forehead - Hahahaha! ๐๐๐ This is the first time Iโve heard of this brand; I wonder if this mask size is standard for them; it would appeal to a lot of face sizes. Do you have other masks by this brand?
@itsfi They do have a little warning on the package that says,"wide mask sheet that covers all face sizes" it definitely did cover my face ๐ I've never used anything else by this brand before
This sounds like an interesting one, @Shosh85. Glad you were able to get the fit to work!
@quspork it definitely was way too big, but the results were great, so it evens out. ๐๐
@Shosh85 I love how you innovated with the fit! Glad it didn't smell of eggs... I saw the package and was thinking it would smell like rotten eggs lol
@missjeanie Rotten egg smell is definitely not a preferred scent for a mask! I feel like I have to smell that enough on a daily basis anyway. ๐
When I first looked at the pic @Shosh85, I thought you used some sort of masking tape to make it adhere to your face๐ I tried a duckโs egg gold foil mask awhile ago (canโt remember if itโs the same brand or not) and thought it was a little $$$ for the results. This sounds good though, must be nice not getting grossed out easily! Iโm kinda jealous๐
@eshoe Well, now I can't unsee masking tape. Haha! That's totally what it looks like! ๐ This one was only a few bucks, so I figured if I didn't like it wouldn't be so bad!
@Shosh85 So glad this mask gave you great results and didn't smell like a boiled egg!!๐คญ You're on a gold run with some good results!! I've always been a tomboy and you can't really work in a clinical lab without a strong nose and stomach, so gross doesn't bother me either!! Thanks for another entertaining mask!!๐๐ฅ๐ณ
@yankeefaithful The smell of a boiled egg really doesn't bother me, but it does bother my husband...... so I kinda wish it did so I could annoy him ๐๐๐๐๐ฅ
@Shosh85 Hahahah๐ You're so right!! Isn't it awful to want to bug them, but they enjoy to return the favorite!!๐ With the bad weather lately, we've been together so much that we're even thinking alike which is really scary!!๐คฏ๐ฉ
That sounds like a good one, @byme4u. I'll have to check it out next time I'm perusing B&BW. Hand masks are a saving grace in the winter!
Two days without hand cream in the winter.... wow @byme4u that is a great mask!!
@byme4u These sound so great!! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed them!! I haven't been disappointed yet with B&BW masks! ๐๐ค
Sunday's masking was mahalo the petal hydrating mask..H for hydration ๐ Monday was another H hydrating mask too cool for school coconut ceramide mask
