Oooh, that dragonfruit mask sounds great @lmaster! Softer, brighter skin is something I can get behind! 👍🏼😀
I also like the origins dragon fruit mask @lmaster . The exfoliation was just right for me...nice and gentle.
It's nice to use a product for exfolating, that you don't have to remind yourself to be extra gentle 😂 @PrettyPaint
@lmaster the Origins mask sounds so nice, I plan to add it into the mix at some point. Haven't heard anything but good about it! Bummer about the thickness on the other one. Makes you really appreciate the lighter-weight masks though!
@eshoe yes! So glad I don't come across them too often 😂
@lmaster Sounds like a nice masking session! That's great the sheet mask smelled so good! – it's too bad about the adherence and thickness of it. I definitely prefer masks to be more on the thin side. 😉
I enjoy using the Dragon fruit mask as well! It really does smell nice and has great results! So glad you like it! 🙌🤗
@lmaster The dragonfruit mask sounds fabulous!! I love a fresh fruity scent!
It was so nice @missjeanie so happy I finally tried it out 😍
Well, since great minds think alike (ahem, @eshoe), here's another take on the Beyond Peony. 😂
For the most part, I enjoyed this one. It was very wet and I ended up leaving it on for an entire episode of Downton Abbey (so about 50 minutes). As eshoe mentioned, there is a very noticeable floral scent, but I found it to be pleasant, so it didn't bother me. But if you're sensitive to fragrance... Something to keep in mind. I had a bit more issue with the fit. The mask had several pre-cuts you could disconnect to modify the fit, and I was perhaps overzealous and disconnected all of them before putting the mask on when I probably should have waited to make any adjustments. I could have saved myself a little work there! One thing I did love was the complete lack of tackiness after removal. The essence sunk in very smoothly. I found the mask to be very hydrating and it left me with bright, plump skin afterwards! Overall, I'd give it an A-.
Awwww we were masking twins @quspork! I know I loved this mask in the past, otherwise I wouldn't have repurchased it. So happy it worked for your skin, yay!!!
What fabulous results @quspork! 💗💕 Hydrated, bright, plump skin without any tackiness sounds like a win to me! I have some sensitivity to fragrance but I would probably risk it because I’m intrigued by the pre-cuts in the mask. Have you tried other Beyond sheet masks, quspork? I’m wondering if that is their thing and a part of all their sheet masks. Hmmm.... 🤔
This is the first one I've tried so far, @itsfi, but it was part of a set I purchased a couple of weeks ago, so we'll have to see what some of the others are like!
@quspork Love Downton Abby! Are they doing a movie soon? I love hearing about another take on a mask. Goes to show that we're all so individual in what we enjoy scent wise!
Oh my goodness, @missjeanie you have made my day! I honestly put off watching DA for a few years because I wasn't sure I would enjoy it for some reason, but I am absolutely loving it, but had heard nothing about a movie. BUT since you mentioned it, I did a little googling and it looks like there will be a movie released this fall!! How exciting!
@qusporkI loved the show! After the last season I was sad that it was over. I heard rumor of a movie a while back and am glad that you found confirmation! I just love the historical dramatizations!
@quspork This one sounds like a great mask, besides the fit! I'm super sensitive to scents (especially floral) so, I probably couldn't do this one, because of that. Tack-less, plump, bright and hydrated skin does sound wonderful! Glad you liked it!
Saturday Masking! I used the Creme Shop Rose Water Mask in the morning, I only detected an ever so slight floral scent, and I had my nose right in the packet trying to smell something. The mask itself was refreshing, and my skin looked like it had a boost of moisture after, but I wouldn't say it was anything special. This will likely go into the catagory of nice-refreshing-don't have to think about them-masks. The fit was a little on the large side, but nothing I couldn't work with.
Half way through the day I tried out the cucumber eye pads from Dirty Works. These had a nice cucumber scent to them, but I couldn't smell it after a minute, so it wasn't too strong. They were quite wet with serum. I put them over my eyes for about 20 minutes. I'm not sure that I'm a mask over my eyes kinda gal. I felt a bit of stinging for about 30 seconds then after that nothing. I'm wondering if my eyes were just too dry? It was weird not being able to look around/do things while I masked. I think next time I might just cut one of the cucumbers in half and use it under my eyes, or wait til I'm relaxing pool side. My skin was a touch tacky after use, but well moisturized.
This evening I used up the second half of my OH Power Peel pod from earlier in the week. I didn't quite have enough of step 1 so I added in a bit of another scrub and just removed it right away instead of leaving it on for the 15 minutes. Step 2 and 3 are the real winners in my books here. I followed the timelines for step 1 and 2 this time and everything went well. A slight tingle, but nothing bad, and super soft skin afterwards!
Yeah I'm with ya @missjeanie, I'm just not a big fan of the over-the eyes sort of masks. Who has the time for that 😄 They look pretty, though!
