@cianni Oooh, I haven't heard of that Origins Mask! Everything you described sounds so great! I'm happy you enjoyed it! I'll definitely be checking this one out!
Those eye gels sure can be slippery lil' buggers! It does seem that material sticks better as it dries, so it would make since it wasn't adhering well due to the wetness. 🤔 I started wearing the majority of my eye masks underneath my sheet masks. That gets them to stay better sometimes too.
Glad to hear the Originis mask worked well for you, @cianni. It's too bad the eye gels were behaving last night!
@lmaster your eye gels hack has been officially noted ✔️ I’ll try it next time!! Also the origins is actually super underrated! I feel like origins does a lot of great masks, so this one is kind of forgotten. I see it at winners/Marshall’s from time to time (which is where I picked this one up!)
I'll have to keep my eyes open for it @cianni 🙂
Nice review and I just love seeing you around again @cianni. 🙂
Thank you!! @ShortErica I definitely missed the BIC 😰😰
Love this thread!!! This has been encouraging me to use more masks lately, but this is my first post here. I feel like I am quite terrible at reviewing masks because most of the time I don’t feel anything too spectacular (and I just keep using masks if they don't break me out and hope that something is working?) and I am also quite bad at looking at ingredients 🤦♀️ So please bear with me while I learn from you ladies.
Welcome @annahoang! I think this really should be the Mask and Balm challenge, we 💗 our lip products. Balms, scrubs, glosses, lip masks...love them all.
Re: Tony Moly masks-that lines tends to have poor fit for me. The layering masks they have are much better in my mind. A few others here like the Pureness line, maybe that’s one you could try if you like the brand.
Bummer the Tony Moly didn't wow you @annahoang . On to the next mask! Great to see you joining us! Don't sweat reviews... Some days I find I'm able to be super objective and remember everything and others it's just meh, like, or nope. lol
@missjeanie haha that's exactly how I feel most of the time, and that's why it took me so long to join haha By the time I take off the mask, I don't even remember what it smelled like unless I strongly like it/hate it!! Unless I write things down, I just end up remembering if it was wow/okay, not bad/absolutely hate it.
Too bad this one wasn’t better @annahoang☹️ The laneige balm sounds great!
@faeriegirl I will just remember not to re-purchase this one again, I am pretty sure I just bought it because of cute packaging lol the balm is amazing, definitely on my love list! I still like the one from La Mer better, but this one is in a tube so much more sanitary and convenient!!
Welcome, @annahoang. TonyMoly can definitely be a little hit or miss with the masks. I'm glad to hear you're liking the Laneige balm! I picked up the berry and have been enjoying it so far.
Thank you @quspork ❤ Do you have any favorites from this brand? The masks from these series are not my favorite (I have tried about 4-5, and still have 2 more to use up) but I am still very curious about the brand.
It's too bad on these, @annahoang. I think I preferred TM's Master Lab series the last time I tried them.
@annahoang Welcome! Thanks for the great review! That's great it's on theme, but don't worry about always being on theme! It's not strict at all around here, so just review the masks you feel like trying – we love to hear about it all!
I feel like this line is pretty hit or miss. Sorry to hear this one wasn't too great, but it's only a matter of time before you find one you love! Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you @Shosh85 ❤ do you have a favorite from this line or this brand? I have a tried a couple of different masks from this series, but still can't find the one that I like enough to re-purchase. Maybe this line is just not for me. Oh well, there are so many other things to try 😁
I will keep in mind about the theme.. for example today, I didn't stay on theme oops 🙈
@annahoang I've only tried a couple from this line and thought they were kinda "meh," so I sort of just lost interest in them. There have been a lot of reviews on these and I know there are some people liked but I don't remember which those were. I liked the Propolis Pureness 100 mask, I've personally only tried a couple, but by the sound of others reviews it seems this line is pretty "meh" too. I've also tried a mask called,
Tony Moly Intense Care 24K Gold Snail Hydrogel Mask – this is one I really enjoyed and will repurchase, but snail isn't something everyone is willing to try. 😉🐌
You weren't on theme with the avocado and pear?... that's totally right on theme! 👌
