I love seeing the bat eye mask!
i havenโt had a chance to post the last couple days.
The Facetory Glow Baby Glow mask is a two step mask. The ampoule feels sooooo moisturizing and absorbed quickly and oh my I wish they sold it on its own. The sheet mask was a nice stretchier cotton and conformed well. I can t remember the scent if there was one. All I know is I want to repurchase it cause it was fantastic! A+
Oh good grief now I wish I remembered what the ampoule was like, @heartsmyface - this sounds divine!
I just got 2 of these in my facetory set, happy to hear it's good @heartsmyface
@heartsmyface This one sounds wonderful and I like the name of it! That's great you liked the ampoule so much! It seems like a lot of the time, the extra steps aren't always so great. It would be so nice if you could find that ampoule sold separately! I'm happy to hear you loved it! ๐๐
@heartsmyface, ooh, if youโre giving it an A+, itโs got to be good! ๐ฅฐ This one keeps going in and out of my bin of masks to use. Looks like itโs going back in! Canโt wait to use it!
@itsfi Oh my gosh I think youโre gonna like it! Is it the extra step thatโs putting you off? Itโs so worth it!
B is for Bihada Ichizoku ๐คทโโ๏ธ It's the only thing on the package I could even remotely read๐ ....Another pretty mask package from Masks on the Move (and @heartsmyface's stash๐)
Bihada Ichizoko Sheet Mask
This is a white cotton sheet mask that's a bit on the thicker side. It was saturated with serum that had a light, rosy/floral scent that was I thought was pretty pleasant considering I'm not usually a big fan of rosy/floral type scents. The fit on this was kinda bad - it was too wide, too long at the chin/jawline and the bottom half was a little off and didn't quite line up right. It had large slits all around the mask that made it easier to adjust and smooth into place. Due to the fit and thickness, the adherence wasn't the greatest, but was still comfortable enough to wear the 30 minutes I had it on. When I removed it my face was noticeably brighter and clearer. Most of the serum had already absorbed and what was left was only very slightly tacky, and took less than 10 minutes to fully absorb. My skin felt soft and smooth and comfortably hydrated.
This was a great mask and I would definitely use again, but probably wouldn't repurchase (I doubt I'd find this one anyway๐), just because the fit and thickness weren't my favorite and also because I have no idea what the ingredients are.
Ahhhh I found this on yes style too, @Shosh85. Sounds like a beautiful mask! The artwork is very pretty, too.
@lmaster Actually, everything but the fit was pretty great! A bad fit never deters me away though ๐
I'm telling you we need some type of app to scan a mask and it tells us all the info on it @Shosh85. It's frustrating not knowing what it says. Use again but not repurchase are sometimes the masks I like trying because then using them lowers my stash while not causing me to buy more. ๐
@ShortErica There are apps that do that, but I haven't found any free ones, and I'm not willing to spend money on it.
I actually think I would repurchase, if they were easily accessible- I just wouldn't go through a whole lot of trouble for it. It was a great mask and really, the fit was the only issue I had with it, and that's not really a deal breaker for me ๐
@Shosh85, not really easily accessible, but you can find it on yesstyle dot com - if you end up buying from that site, just remember to group items in your order(s) based on availability or estimated ship times (i.e., usually ships in 24 hours vs. 7-14 days vs. 21 days). You can also find the mask on amazon but it's through a third party seller, not through amazon itself (and it's not fulfilled by amazon either).
@itsfi Oooh, thanks for the info - you're so helpful! I'd love to try out more of these! I've taken a screen shot of what you wrote so I can remember it when I finally allow myself to do a mask haul again! ๐๐
@Shosh85, love the sparkle & the Sailor Moon ish girl on the "cute" pkg. Pleased it was a nice masking, too.
I see you captured the bat & sent it off to @heartsmyface , I wonder whose cute face it will land on next? haha
@byme4u I seriously thought of Sailor Moon when I saw this one! ๐ It really is such a cute and pretty package!
I love seeing that bat land on people and give them a nice big bat hug to the face! ๐๐ฆ๐
@Shosh85 This is a repeat purchase for me. I think Iโm a sucker for anything whitening/brightening. The holo packaging gets me every time too. Hereโs some info on it.
@heartsmyface Thank you for this! - it is very helpful! I read that Bihada Ichizoku means "fair skinned family." I also noticed that there's a whole line of these masks and that there will be a TV program featuring the characters on them. I totally Googled that, so I'm not sure how accurate that info is. ๐ I can definitely see why this would be a repeat purchase! ๐
