Thursday I used one of my favorite sheet mask, the Face Shop MascCream with Snail Mucin. For those who aren’t familiar with this mask ( I’ve been using and posting about it a few times already but it was a long time ago! This is a cotton mask dripping with a milky serum. See spoiler for ingredients list. It fits quite well on my face so no alterations were required and I left it on until it dried because I slept with it on ( works better than melatonin 😂 ! ). The recommended time is 10-20 minutes. This mask has constantly given me great results, my fine lines are diminished, my face looks lifted and my skin is smooth! Grade A+
PS : it’s not available anymore at the Face Shop but it’s available at the yesstyle website.
I also used at the same time the new fresh Sugar Mint Rush Freshening Lip Treatment .15 oz / 4.3 g
which was part of the gratis I received on Thursday, and I just love it! I hate the taste of mint, but I enjoy the smell and the cooling effect peppermint oil and eucalyptus have on my lips 💚💚💚 !
@keana1 The mask sounds so wonderful! I love the milky serums! I'm happy to hear it's a favorite of yours! 😃👍
Thanks @Shosh85 ! This series of MasCreme masks have a generous amount of serum ! I keep the serums for future use, as essences even if they’re not technically essences !
I started masking with this sheet mask a little more than a year ago and love using sheet masks since @lmaster ! I only have one left 😢 ! If you’re not creeped out by snail mucin, you should try it!
The sheet mask sounds lovely, @keana1! Except for the mucin part😆 Funny that it works better than melatonin for you, but also nice to know. Happy you are enjoying the Fresh gratis, I like peppermint oil in my diffuser😉
It’s so weird that using a sheet mask makes me fall asleep better than melatonin @eshoe ! Maybe I feel relaxed when I mask in the evening? I also use peppermint oil but not in a continuous diffuser ( I read an article mentioning that continuous diffusers ( depending what the essential oil is used ) could be dangerous for cats and dogs ) . I usually put a few drops in water ( in a glass container ) and ... here’s a picture
Wow that is a beautiful piece of art, as well as diffuser, @keana1! Thank you for sharing😊 I do remember reading that about EO’s. Thank you for the reminder!
This sounds so masculine but my living room is decorated with medieval accents @eshoe ! No flowers but knives, dragon themed items, wine glasses with medieval decorations on them, even a small armoured soldier! It’s only my living room...
Well, you should enjoy where you live, @keana1 - I’m sure Kauai 💗’s it, too!
I really enjoy the decorations that I have @eshoe ! There are so many different styles that look great! The important thing is that you like your environment! If I had young children my decorations would be completely different but I don’t have any! The dangerous items are very hard to reach in case my nephew visits and one of my swords that’s on one of my walls isn’t sharp or pointed so it’s only for show and in a case, I’m the only one that knows that it’s not dangerous! Here are pictures of my favorite items
Wow I bet your nephew calls you the cool aunt, @keana1 😎😄!
Nobody comes to visit me except my parents @eshoe ! I have a few friends but they’re both allergic to cats so obviously they can’t come so I’m the one who has to visit them but this is completely justified. My sister never visits, but I think that I’ve already talked to you about this. I’ve given up on her...🤷🏻♀️
I’m so sorry, @keana1. Family can be incredibly complicated. Sometimes time really does bring some hope along with it!
Thanks @eshoe ! I hope that she comes around and realizes how much I love her and my nephew!
Granted I'm not licking my lips, but did you find the fresh Sugar Mint Rush Freshening Lip Treatment .15 oz / 4.3 g had a taste @keana1? I wouldn't say I can taste anything when I wear it. I appreciate the sensation and it's a really nice balm for me. Glad it's working out well for you too!
I didn’t notice any taste @ShortErica. I like it’s cooling effect and is very moisturizing . Glad that you enjoy it!
I can't remember who said it, but I think someone who received this gratis said it had an odd taste. So it's not me or you @keana1 - I'm glad it doesn't have a taste!
I don’t remember who that might be @ShortErica ?
I'll have to check the gratis posts. Also I need to post an update since I've tried some of the products now. 🙂
I love both of these items @keana1! 💚 I’ve taken note 📝 about using these two as a combo - what a great duo! 👍🏼 Maybe The Face Shop will restock the MasCream soon; there was a period of time when I could not find a beloved sheet mask from The Face Shop in the store or online but it was eventually restocked! 😃
