Cactus is such a great ingredient for hydration; nice to hear how pleasantly this one worked out, @eshoe.
Yes I think Iโve tried a different cactus mask @itsfi maybe a Yadah one? Itโs another ingredient I would like to explore a bit more.
@eshoe I have this mask and am happy to hear it turned out so great! I really like the gel masks! It definitely sounds like a perfect mask for summer! ๐ตโ๏ธ
@Shosh85 It was a spur-of-the-moment buy but itโs always good too discover it was worth it! Btw happy early Motherโs Day to you ๐
@eshoe Awe, you are so sweet! Happy Mother's Day to you as well! ๐
For sleep mask week, my absolute favorite sleeping mask ever! The CosRx Ultimate Moisturizing Honey Overnight Mask.
Seriously, my expectations for this were low as I've tried the rice version before and wasn't impressed, but this one is amazing. I've been using it several nights a week for the past couple weeks and my skin is looking so good! The mask itself is a watery gel with no scent. It doesn't leave any tackiness after application. And every morning after use, my skin is bright and clear and healthy looking. Since it's not terribly heavy, I think I'm going to try increasing usage and see how that goes. Definitely an A+++!
Yessss, all the honey! @lmaster I know it's available at jolse, melodycosme, and amazon. I thought Ulta had it at one point, but I don't see it listed there now.
Oh thank you @quspork searching starts now!!
@quspork Sleep mask in a tube and with great results ... yes please.
@quspork, this reminded me that I tried a foil sample of this overnight mask and loooved it. I need to pick up a full size! Did they change the packaging? I thought it was in a jar, but a tube is even better - more sanitary and travel friendly!
Yes on the packaging, @itsfi! I actually put off purchasing it for a long time because I'm not a huge fan of jar masks, but once they started using the tube packaging I was thrilled to pick it up.
@quspork loooooove low expectations, they almost always guarantee an excellent masking ๐ Going to have to look this one up, thank you!
@quspork This one sounds wonderful! I agree it would've been a nice lil' bonus if it smelled like honey too, but great results is what matters most! Glad you are enjoying this one! ๐
Oh awesome! Gotta love it if youโre tacking extra pluses in there! I would have been disappointed buying it with it having no honey scent honestly. Iโm glad itโs really working for you though. @quspork
A honey scent would definitely be a nice bonus, @heartsmyface, but I'm willing to look past it for good results. ๐ ๐ฏ๐
Friday I tried the holika holika aloe S Soothing gel gelee mask. I found this at tj Maxx and wow, I loved it! The gelee mask was so cool, it fit perfectly and stayed that way the entire 20 minutes. The scent was awesome I'd say a mix between floral and fruity with cucumber coming through. ๐ This mask calmed my blemishes down the entire day. They looked like they had flattened and we're less red. This gets an A++ then last night I went with one of my all time favs SUMMER FRIDAYS - Jet Lag Mask
I'm about 3/4 of the way done with my mask and will repurchase indefinitely ๐
@lmaster @What a great find at TJ Maxx. Will def keep any eye out for this because sounds like itโs a great mask. Glad it helped with your blemishes. Always good to have something that works like that on hand.
@GalPalVal17 definitely, this is a diamond in the rough!
