@GalPalVal17 Yay! I'm guessing that's what I'll get too! 🙌😍 I'll be interested to hear what you think of it! 👍
@GalPalVal17 I've picked up two different variety packs from Costco already! You can't beat 8 When masks for $9.99! I love that they're variety packs and not all the same one! I wish more brands would make variety packs. 😃
Did you save your receipt by chance @GalPalVal17? I know it’s been a few weeks but if you email your receipt and address to help at whenbeautyus dot com they will send you a free gift. They sent me a 1oz DS of the Gentle Rose Exfoliating Mask that I tried the other night. Today is the cut-off, it’s worth a shot!
@eshoe I did find my receipt and sent it to them. Let’s see if I get a freebie to try. Thanks for the heads up. I also subscribed to their site so I can get promo emails.
Oh yay @GalPalVal17! I really hope they send you one! I didn’t receive a confirmation of any kind or shipping info, but it was pretty fast. Less than a week for me, though I’m guessing it might take more depending on where you live. 🤞🏼😄
That sounds pretty good, @Shosh85! I have this one sitting my collection, so I'll have to give it a try soon and see how it works out!
@quspork It was really nice! I could've done without the alcohol completely, but it turned out great nonetheless. 😉🤗
@lmaster I have some without it too! Which ones do you have?
@Shosh85 apparently I only have one when mask that doesn't contain alcohol 🤔 it's the winter version that came in facetory,I believe,,I swore I had more than one
Sounds like an around good mask @Shosh85 !
@missjeanie If it didn't have alcohol at all it would've been perfect, but it's farther down so it's not too bad – and as long as the results turn out good I'm happy. 😃
@byme4u Haha! I didn't notice that! I don't mind glowing 😂
@Shosh85 This mask sounds interesting ! I’m curious to know what the ingredients are in this mask? Smooth and glowing skin sounds great! ❤️❤️❤️ bio-cellulose masks ! Sorry that it wasn’t hydrating like you wished it would be! Did the serum contain sodium hyaluronate? I’m always curious to find out what the ingredients are 🧐. The title is quite ambiguous... since it doesn’t mention anything about what this mask is supposed to be used for or any of the key ingredients contained in the serum.
@keana1 Sorry, when I first tried to post the ingredients it wouldn't load, so I gave up. Finally got them to load if you want to take a look. It has Sodium Hyaluronate, but it's in the bottom half of ingredients. It has alcohol too, but near the middle of the list, so I wasn't as worried about it – and it turned out so great! I will probably try and use sparingly though, just in case 😉
Thanks @Shosh85 for posting the ingredients list! I wouldn’t worry about the alcohol but it would have been much more hydrating if the sodium hyaluronate was high up in the ingredients list but I’m glad that you enjoyed your masking experience! 😉
Week 20 - May 13 - 19 - T - Summer Masks
Well I decided to dive right into my @missjeanie treats and figured I might want to try a mask as well. Spoiler: it did not disappoint!
I finally busted out my gratis (thanks @TeamBIC) of the GLAMGLOW - SUPERTONER ™ Exfoliating Acid Solution Tonerand used the Holika Holika Green Tea mask.
So the toner - holy acids! I guess my face is basically an acid virgin and even a slight swipe across the face and I could feel it. I think the peppermint oil also stuck out. Though I almost got an anise like scent occasionally. Shout out to @WinglessOne for the reusable cotton round inspiration and recommendations.
The mask was a good soother. Out of the package it was quite sudsy. I wish I would have taken a picture but both eye holes had bubbles across them. I wasn't a fan of the easy open package. I think tearing or cutting is simpler.
My face:
I wish it would have been slightly higher on the forehead. I was able to manipulate it on my face well. The fold puckered some as I wore it. Not a big deal considering there was a bit extra on the sides and under the chin. Dang was it serum packed though! The chin was dripping on me as I was folding kid clothes. Also wanted to comment the philtrum area was appropriately sized. @Shosh85 @itsfi @eshoe - is this the way to use it in a sentence? Now to get the boys to say the word. Hahaha.
Back to the mask. I wore this thing for 40 minutes ignoring the 10-20 minute recommendation. My skin looked even and bright. Not sure it helped with plumpness though. Looking at the ingredients this would make sense. There's the centella asiatica which should help with redness. But there isn't something like hyaluronic acid or collagen that I would associate with plumping. Maybe I do understand a bit about this ingredient analysis type thing.
Ingredients:
@lmaster, ingredient-wise would this be a good mask for you?
The serum must have been focused on the mask because what was left in the package was barely enough for the backs of my hands. I liked the ingredients, liked no alcohol or fragrance, liked the wear time and the general fit, liked the results. Negatives would be the dripping at the beginning, the puckering of the fold (maybe I should have flipped it around), a slight tackiness to the skin, and I think that's about it. So a really good mask. Solid A I think.
Thanks so much @missjeanie! Have you tested this one out?
hahaha! That would be very cute and so funny if your boys said philtrum. lol!
@ShortErica when I researched it, the philtrum referred to solely the area between the two vertical indentations above your lips/below your nose. But it's the closest and easiest way to say that area without a run-on sentence like I just wrote 😄 @Shosh85 @itsfi
I'll work on using it with better accuracy next time @eshoe. 😉
