May Coop, Mermaid Mask, and Mega Moisture Mood Mask ๐
Mermaid Mask๐
Leahlani Skincare Mermaid Mask
This is a wash-off mask that is dark green in color and has a refreshing citrusy orange scent. It starts out as a sort of thick, grainy and sticky consistency. You are supposed to place a teaspoon size amount in the palm of your hand, add a few drops of water and emulsify with your fingertips before applying it to damp skin. Adding water to it first helped turn it into a more thin and spreadable consistency, but it still had a graininess to it. I spread it on my face and let it sit for about 15 minutes, 5 longer than the directions state. I removed it easily with cool water while massaging it in as I rinsed โ the graininess of it was very gentle and not irritating at all. My complexion looked clearer and brighter, my skin felt very smooth and soft and my face had a nice glow. What I was really surprised about was that it didn't leave my face feeling tight and dry, and I didn't feel the need to rush to put moisturizer on โ I did end up putting moisturizer on a little later, just in case, but my face actually felt pretty comfortable.
This is the only sample I got that wasn't close to $100 and was more reasonably priced at $38 โ I could definitely see myself buying the FS of this one, but would like to first explore more of the products at The Detox Market before making the final decision of which ones to purchase. I enjoyed using this one and give it an A!

May Coop๐
May Coop Raw Sheet Mask
This is a light and very breathable non-bleached cotton sheet mask that was literally dripping with serum as I took it out of the package. The fit was ok, just a little too large around the forehead and chin area. It had a very light, clean and fresh scent that was hardly detectable once it was on. The directions say to leave on for 10-20 minutes, but I left it on for more like 30-35 minutes. When I took it off, my face was noticeably brighter and my complexion was clearer. The serum left over was a bit sticky, but that faded by itself pretty quickly. My face was soft and smooth and stayed hydrated for most of the day! No surprise this mask had good resultsโ especially great for hydration! This one gets an A!
Ingredients:
Patchology Get Dewy With It Mega Moisture Moodmask
This is a super thin and transparent cotton sheet mask that was drenched with serum and had a light, clean and fresh scent. It had a perfect fit and had pre-cut slits at the chin and eyes, which attributed to the perfect fit. It adhered very well and was comfortable to wear โ it's one of those masks that you forget you're wearing. I had it on for about 35 minutes and even though most of the mask felt like it was starting to dry up, my face was still pretty wet with serum when I removed it. The serum was a little tacky, but it didn't take long for it all to absorb on its own. My face felt refreshed and more awake, my dry skin felt soothed and very hydrated. The hydration was excellent and seemed to last for a long while. My face also had a very nice, slightly shiny/dewy looking glow.
This mask claims to have dewy mega moisture and it definitely did! This gets an A+!
Ingredients:
I really liked that Leahlani Mermaid mask too, @Shosh85. It is reasonably priced (and comes in a smaller jar, which means I would be able to use all of it rather than having to toss it due to expiration dates). I think that's a huge benefit with this mask over some of the other Detox Market masks, especially since the ingredients are natural and thus more likely to expire before I finish a jar. The Petal has been my favorite so far, but this is a close second. @Kim888 I didn't realize it goes in and out of stock, I guess I was lucky to be able to sample it when I did. I still have 1/2 of the little case in my fridge, guess I will use it up this weekend:)
@eshoe This is one I'll definitely be considering buying FS! I didn't realize it was in and out of stock either โ I guess we're lucky we got it on the first try! I'm excited to try other samples! ๐๐
Thanks for the review @Shosh85 Iโve been trying to sample the mermaid one but it keeps being out of stock when I place orders! Sounds great though Iโll deff look out for it
@Kim888 The consistency of it is kinda different but it turned out great! I hope you're able to try it sometime! I'm planning on placing another order soon! ๐
I love the idea of the May Coop mask @Shosh85 , I have the raw sauce and have been trying to use it more lately, I can see why so many love it. And that mermaid mask looks so intriguing! I love that it has a great scent to it. Patchology chalk full of moisture, another win! What a great group of masks for M week!
@missjeanie I definitely got lucky with all the great results! I wasn't so sure about the Mermaid Mask at first because of the weird consistency, but I'm happy I read the directions and added water to it! I don't know how I'd spread it on my face otherwise. Reading the directions is always a good thing! Haha! ๐๐
@Shosh85I'm so bad at reading directions! But this really highlights how we should!
@lmaster I wasn't so sure about the Mermaid Mask at first sight because of the consistency, but once you add a little water, the consistency changes. The results were great and that's what matters to me! Can't wait to try other samples from The Detox Market!
Oh that's right @Shosh85 I forgot you said to add water, I bet that does make it a better consistency
Sounds like a good set of masks, @Shosh85! That mermaid mask is so intriguing- guess I'm adding it to the list for that future Detox Market sample order haha!
@quspork I loved the scent on the Mermaid Mask and results were great! Definitely one I'd try again! ๐๐
You're the queen of "M" masks @Shosh85! ๐ Awww, that pic of you with the mermaid mask is adorbs! ๐๐ Yaaay, you tried the May Coop sheet mask!!! ๐ So refreshing and hydrating. Yeah, that mask is laaarge - when a sheet mask is too large for my forehead, I know it's extra. lol! ๐ I really love โค๏ธ The Detox Market sample program but at the same time, it makes me a tad nervous what my first mask haul is going to look like when I'm done with my no-buy sheet mask / low-buy wash off mask. Hahahaha! ๐๐คฃ๐
I'm so intrigued by the ingredients in that Patchology Mood Mask! Love that it lived up to its dewy mega moisture claims - my skin would LOVE that. ๐คฉ๐คฉ I'm definitely going to research hijiki algae and rose of jericho, and see if I have any masks with either of those ingredients; I don't think I do. This one is definitely going on my list.
@itsfi I've tried the May Coop mask a while back, but didn't remember it too well, so I had to refresh my memory โ I'm glad I got a pack of these!
I feel ya on The Detox Market! So far the $100 masks I've tried were great, but not $100-great. Like you, I'm a little nervous that I will eventually end up being amazed by one and feel pressured to buy it! Haha! It's just so nice to be able to try before you buy, especially with the spendy ones!
I really enjoyed the Patchology mask! It's nice when a mask does what it says it's supposed to do! ๐๐
@faeriegirl They were! It's always nice when they all turn out great! ๐๐
