I didn't know it was a new line, @itsfi. I love the very thin masks and am going to check out other ones from this line. I love the little tab on the side, looks just like it's meant for a masking library ๐
@eshoe the little tabs make me think of divider tabs, like the masks can go into a sheet mask binder. ๐
Yes, @itsfi thatโs exactly what they remind me of, too! I like the styling on it:)
I wanted to get in on the snail goodness so found this one to try. Fit was decent a little small in the nose area. No special scent. Just a typical face mask. I liked the way my face looked after I took it off. A little lump. However the hydration was not lasting. It absorbed nicely and the tackiness went away but my face needed more so I used a moisturizer and the Huxley overnight mask to lock it in.
Huxley mask is average. Iโve used it before. It does the job nothing extra spectacular but nothing to avoid. Scent is nice and subtle. Face was hydrated and soft this morning.
Woohooo @GalPalVal17 Look at you gettin' on the snail train! Do you think you'll try a few more now that you've done one? Maybe another brand will have more lasting power with the moisture?
@GalPalVal17 Sorry these are only average, but average is better than bad! The snail packaging looks so fun and vibrant ๐
Yay for giving snail goodness a try @GalPalVal17! ๐ I completely understand that it can be a turn off. Do you think it would be something you'd try again or will be it one and done for the snail? I have this snail mask and am happy to know what to expect; thank you! Good to know about the Huxley scent - some of their products are too heavily fragranced for me so I'm always a little cautious, but the scent on this one sounds like it could work.
Oh Iโm so happy to see a review on the Huxley @GalPalVal17, Iโve been very curious about that brand! Sounds like Iโm not missing out on too much. Where did you pick up the DS?
Even though the mask was just average I am
in LOVE with the snail on the package! Heโs all like โyou use my trail juices for what?๐โ! @GalPalVal17
H is for "Herb in Nude, Hydrating Care" and Hydro
We Bare Bears X Missha Herb In Nude Sheet Mask ~Hydrating Care~
This is a cellulose sheet mask that is SO thin, it is see-through and even took my husband a while to notice I even had a mask on! ๐ It was drenched, but not dripping with serum and had a nice, clean and fresh scent. The fit was pretty good โ a little too long at the chin and just a bit too wide. It was so comfortable to wear, that I forgot I was wearing it, and ended up having it on for almost an hour. When I removed it, there was still a little serum left on my face that I patted into my skin and was a little tacky. The serum and it's tackiness absorbed pretty quickly though, and my face felt soft and smooth and my skin was well hydrated.
I would definitely use this one again and it gets an A from me ๐
Ingredients:
Dr. Jart Shake & Shot Rubber Mask โ Hydro
This comes with two packets and a spatula. You are supposed to dump the two packets into the cup it comes in, put the lid on, and while plugging the hole at the top with your finger, you shake it all up. I shook it only a few times, when I heard the sloshing sound it was making had stopped. I opened it up and it appeared to have mixed pretty well. I used the spatula and spread a thick layer on my face โ and was able to use up the whole thing. I still think the baby face on the top was a bad idea, (not only because it's creepy๐) but because it makes it hard to scrape the mask off of after you've shaken it up. @itsfi and I recently discussed how it would've been SO much better if they just left out the face and replaced it with a smooth dome top โ and it would look more like a "seven-eleven slurpee," as itsfi mentioned. Which to me, would be much more cute and enticing. ๐
It had a clean and fresh scent and had a comfortable and slightly cool feel the entire time. After about 20 minutes it had set up and was able to remove it in one big piece. There was a couple tiny bits that were left behind, and easily came off with just a quick rub of my finger. My face looked less dull, felt hydrated, my skin was incredibly soft and smooth and I had a nice glow! It took me such a long time to finally try this one and I'm glad I did! It's much easier to use than all the other mix-it-yourself masks I've used were and had such great results! The only negative I could say is the price. I'll be buying another one for sure, but will probably wait for the next sale! I give this one an A ๐

The creepiness:
@Shosh85you went from super cute bear packaging to creepy infant packaging! Awesome that they both had great results though! And the Dr. Jart doesn't look like it was too drippy either!
@missjeanie Just had to add something cute to balance out the creepiness ๐
The Dr. Jart was so much easier than I was expecting it'd be. If they weren't so expensive I'd buy all of them right now ๐
I hear you @Shosh85 after finding some great deals on masks lately, I'm gonna wait for a sale to purchase a few of the pricier masks.
@Shosh85 you are not kidding with the creepiness, I just showed that cup to my husband and all I got was, โWhy do they have to do that?โ ๐ Iโm loving that Missha mask, another one I am going to keep my eyes out for because it sounds sooooooooo lovely!
@eshoe I'm curious what the design team was thinking on that one ๐ค๐ฑ
The Missha mask was great and I'm excited to try the other one I have! The cute packaging makes it even better ๐
@Shosh85 @Sounds like some super great masks. agree on the creepiness of that baby face. Lol would def prefer a โslurpeeโ over that
@GalPalVal17 Yeah, I feel the baby face was very unnecessary and I probably would've tried them all by now if it looked like a slurpee instead. ๐๐
@Shosh85, yay, two A masks for you!! ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ The Missha Herb in Nude masks are great - feels like second skin! โฅ๏ธ Oh, you are so good with the Dr Jart rubber mask - you removed it in one piece!! Which โflavorโ do you think youโll pick up next?
OH! ๐ฌ๐ฑ Thereโs that creepy lid! ๐ฆ
@itsfi These both really are great masks!
It's definitely satisfying when the peel-off-type masks come off in one peice โ I think thickness is the key. ๐ The next one of these I want to pick up is the brightening one. I'm super surprised I liked it so much!๐
