Had to take a break from the fruits and throw a veggie into the mix ๐๐ฅ
The Saem Natural-Tox Carrot Sheet Mask
This is a cotton sheet mask they describe as, "soft embossed," which looks sort of like a thicker or padded type of mesh or gauze. It was saturated with plenty of serum that had a very pleasant and light clean and fresh scent โ I was a little worried it'd smell like carrots and wasn't too sure how much I'd enjoy that! Haha! It had a pretty good fit, a little bit too big around the forehead area and just a little long at the chin. The mask was comfortable and adhered very well the 35 minutes I had it on. When I removed it, my face felt refreshed and looked noticeably brighter. The serum that was leftover was just slightly tacky, but it didn't take long for that to absorb and my face was left feeling soft and smooth and hydrated. This is one I'd use again, but probably not repurchase โ and that's really only because I like the Apple and Grape ones better ๐
Ingredients:
@lmaster The carrot one probably has just about as great as results as the fruit ones did, but because of their scents they had the wow factor. ๐
I'm with you there @Shosh85 I love a great scent!
Gotta get in your veggies, right @Shosh85?!! I think I'd like the apple and grape one over this one as well, but it sounds like the carrot mask had some good results too! ๐ Love the packaging on these masks; these are definitely on my list of masks to try ... after I work my way through the stash I already have!
@itsfi I think you'd like these! Definitely start with the apple and grape ones - I just love the scent on those! ๐
@Shosh85, I was thinking the opposite - start with the carrot one so apple and grape come in to wow me at the end! ๐
The packaging is so cute @Shosh85 this makes me think of carrot cake ๐
@annahoang Oh yum! I've never liked carrot cake up until recently - it finally grew on me. ๐ You would never expect it, but being on this thread will make you hungry! Haha! ๐ You'll find we talk about food often! ๐๐
This line of masks all sound pretty great @Shosh85 , but I could see how grape would be a favourite!
@missjeanie The whole line has been fantastic! The apple and grape ones just have a little something extra with the yummy scents. ๐
@faeriegirl It was! Especially because it didn't smell like carrots! ๐๐ฅ
I posted this in the deals thread, but thought this would be a good place for it too. ๐ Sheet masks are only $2 at Victoria's Secret! The employee there wasn't sure how long this deal will last, but it's most likely just for the weekend.
Noooooo now the actual threads are being targeted by spam ๐ญ๐ญ
@cianni That totally sucks! I've seen these too, but the one I saw was very inappropriate. ๐
Happy Friday, fellow maskers! ๐ For me, last night's masking was about these greats, with my daily dose of veggies coming in the form of Youth To The People Superfood Skin Reset Antioxidant Mask 2 oz/ 59 mL (not to worry, I had actual veggies at lunch and dinner too!) ; )
Kate Somerville Liquid ExfoliKateยฎ Triple Acid Resurfacing Treatment 4 oz/ 120 mL
has been such a great treat for my skin. I received it first as a gratis from Sephora and have picked up a couple mini's to keep and gift when they were available as promos. It's one I could use everyday if I wanted to, but I tend to rotate my exfoliants and use a few times per week. Every once in a while, I will reach for this one on consecutive nights to get in a good exfoliating treatment.
Youth to the People Superfood Skin Reset Antioxidant Mask is a nice clay mask that I use all over my face. I donโt leave it on for too long, to avoid it drying completely and I have learned from the boards that itโs best to remove it in the shower โ less stained wash cloths for me. ๐ My skin looks and feels clear, smooth, soft and fresh. Followed that up with a new discovery this year, the Klavuu Nourishing Care Lip Sleeping Pack โ Iโm so happy this came in the sampler set I picked up earlier this year. Iโll pick up a full size at some point, maybe after Iโve worked my way through my stash my upcoming summer mask low buy. Have a great weekend everyone!! ๐
@itsfi these sound amazing!!! Will have to add to my samples-to-request list for my next sephora trip. I thought this thread would encourage me to use up my stash more/faster but it seems to grow my wish list even faster... lol
Hahaha @annahoang! I thought the same thing - surely, this thread will help motivate me to use up my masks and I'll learn about masking along the way. It has done both of those things but it's also given me a wish list that looks more like an inventory list of a sheet mask warehouse than it does a short, sweet list of goodies to try. lol! ๐
