That is very interesting about the difference in scent @eshoe. Any idea of if it was closer to expiration or any other factors that could make it different (storage, maybe)? I didn't get candy smell with mine.
I haven't tried the royal jelly. But based on @itsfi, @Shosh85 and @faeriegirl's reviews, I'm guessing I'd probably prefer it too. Though..have I even tried a honey mask yet? I saw a 10 pack at Marshall's I really considered picking up but it had both alcohol and fragrance fairly high in the ingredient list so I passed on it.
This was brand new, @ShortErica and expires in 2020. It wasn’t bad, just not what I was expecting🤷🏻♀️
Very strange @eshoe. I need to figure out my P mask and get on it. Hope you have some good ones lined up.
I do, @ShortErica! And I did so many masks last week I just haven’t had time to post about them😄 I’ve got quite a few for trhis week, ended up using 2 sheet masks tonight bc I found methyparaben in the first one after I put it on, and I try to avoid that. So annoyed, it seemed to be a very promising mask. But the one I have on now is 👍🏼!
@ShortErica, in terms of using the extra serum, I think it depends on your skin and your routine - sometimes it's just not helpful to pat in more serum onto the skin. Some days I will save the extra serum but use it the next morning in the essence step of my routine - I tend to do that with a serum that has niacinamide or other brightening ingredients in it. Otherwise, I just slather it on my arms and legs.
@itsfi I think I may try to save serum to use the next morning. And if I get too lazy to do that, expanding to beyond my face, neck, and hands will be the way to go. Thanks for the suggestions!
@ShortErica I'm glad it was a pleasant experience for you! I don't have much insight about the extra serum – since I mask daily it's hard to save a bunch of serum, so I just usually use it all up rubbing it all over me. My dry skin especially likes the milky-ness of this one. 😉
@Shosh85 after my mining trip I had a dry patch on my arm that loved getting the extra serum! I think I need to expand serum from just face, neck, hands to more of my body. 😉
@ShortErica Mining?! ⛏ That sounds fun!
I always just cover my body with as much extra serum is left in the pouch. 👍😉
@ShortEricaThis one really did fit rather nicely for you! Sometimes if there's a lot of extra serum I'll either 1. Rub it all over my body (hey... my butt needs some toning.. probably more than my face?). 2. Rub an extra layer into my face after I remove the mask/a couple times before bed. or 3. Keep it sitting in the packet in the fridge until the next morning when I rub it all over my body because I already had lotion on or was too tired the night before. I never thought of decanting the serum. I'm curious to hear what others think though.
Did you end up liking the milky/cremyness of the serum?
😂 butt toning...now I will have to try that @missjeanie!
I think the milky serum was enjoyable. I probably am just accustomed to clear serum so I'd want to give other masks with milky serum a shot before determining if I have a preference.
I’m glad you liked it @ShortErica. It does fit great😊
Me too @faeriegirl. And I appreciated a general consensus for those who tried it - lots of serum, rose scent, good fit seemed common. 🙂
Thanks @IndyQT317!

Repurchase? | Absolutely |
Your notes are beautiful @itsfi, and always so thorough. They remind me of things I’ve forgotten and help me take better notes myself- thank you!
Thank you @eshoe! The categories on my chart that get filled out 100% of the time in any given week varies - the main ones for me are the brand, mask name, notes and repurchase fields. I also have separate fields for store where I purchased the mask and the price (if I remember those things), but those are not always filled in.
Love your spreadsheet layout, love the double rose combo with the lip balm, loved reading your thoughts! @itsfi Sounds like this one was a winner for most everyone!
@missjeanie, all that was missing was this yummy rose flavored frozen yogurt I had once; then it would have been perfect. 🙂
Interesting.... I’ve had lavender ice cream, and used it in several other desserts, even orange blossoms , alas I’ve never really used rose to flavour desserts. I’ll bet it was amazing @itsfi !
