@eshoe, it's nice that the Botanic Farm bubble pack has a tint to it; makes it easier to see where you've applied it and where it's going to bubble! Some products are meant to be used consistently for results and it seems like that is the case for this one. Do you think you'd repurchase it?
The short answer is yes @itsfi. It’s gentle and fun (they are often more opposites) and I’ve already purchased a backup😉 it wasn’t until I stared using it daily that I noticed how well my skin takes to it. My skin is also going through a change right now and has decided to become a bit oily, so that may be part of the reason🤷🏻♀️
Oooh, that sounds like it is working well if you have a backup. @eshoe, oily all over or certain parts of the face?
Gah it’s been kinda all over @itsfi, but mostly the forehead. Hasn’t been like this in awhile, and it’s a bit frustrating for me. I knew when I had everything figured out it would change, I just didn’t expect it to be my entire face! In a way I am excited, because it means I can try out some different masks in the meantime. It’s more than the usual seasonal change, I’m just going with it...have some tea tree masks I need to try, now is a good time;)
The mineral pop sounds great @eshoe! Good luck finishing it up😊
I’m so glad I decided to use this one up, @faeriegirl - daily use makes such a difference. I feel like I have a much better idea of how it affects my skin now.
Yeah, so glad I picked up extra of this one @lmaster. Who knows, like how one man’s trash is another one’s treasure, maybe one person’s so-so mask is another one’s HG!
Good luck in your quest to finish off the bubble pack, @eshoe. It's always satisfying to use up a product!
Bummer about the sheet mask, but it looks like you're making good progress on your Mineral Pop @eshoe !
Yes I am gonna finish this one, @missjeanie👍🏼 I’ve been using it daily and it must really be good for my skin because it’s not as dry as usual (it’s actually becoming a little oily😆)!
@eshoe Oooh, that Mineral Pop sounds so good! Glad to hear your dry skin does well with it! 🙌😍
Sorry the sheet mask wasn't too impressive, but at least you got a good primer out of it! 👍
@Shosh85, @heartsmyface always talks about tacky masks making a great makeup base. It wasn’t until I tried the MILK MAKEUP Hydro Grip Hydrating Makeup Primer with Hyaluronic Acid + Niacinamide 1.52 / 45 mLthat it made sense! I have always just rinsed off the residue, this was eye-opening for me😄
I bought a backup of the Mineral Pop which is part of the reason I need to get through this one lol
Week 16 - Apr 15 - 21 - P - Luxe it Up or a Pretty on a Penny - round 3
This time it was Rose's turn
Close up of ingredients
Unlike the first two, this one had a pinkish hue to the mask, likely from the rose. It had a light rose scent that to my untrained nose seemed authentic. As I'm not a big smell person, this was okay. The smell was light and pleasant and lasted during and slightly after removal. The fit was the same as the others and every day I feel I've improved on opening and placing it. Though this time it was more apparent that the tip of the nose is missing./p>
My face
I wore this about 35 minutes. My skin was definitely brighter and smoother. This makes me question why I mask at night as opposed to the mornings..oh yeah, I don't want to wake up earlier. Haha. This is 3rd for me of the Yadah masks simply for scent. It was a very nice smell but personal preference is no smell or very faint so you almost have to search for it. But I could easily see this being another person's 1. A grade since it's a me not you reason.
@ShortErica This one does sound great, but I'm not so sure how much I'll like the scent either. I don't mind a mask having a scent, I just can't handle really strong and most floral. Rose can be tricky, I can do fresh roses just not the fake and perfumy kind. Now I'm super curious to open one up and smell it! Haha! I'm glad it was a good one minus the scent! Definitely seems like a great line of masks! 😃👌
Yadah was good to me @Shosh85. Once you smell it, let me know your impression of the rose.
Based on your previous posts I thought you would @lmaster. There is also no alcohol, good or bad, and no fragrance!
Yep perfect for me! 😉 @ShortErica thanks for reviewing!
I do not mind masks with the tip of the nose missing @ShortErica. My nose is the last place that needs extra hydration, ha! Sounds like another Yadah winner, great find and smart thinking to pick all of them up while you could. It doesn't always happen where you are 3 for 3, nice work:)
