@m3rc3d3s You didn't ask, but thought I'd take the liberty and throw in my opinions ๐
My top 3 are:
โข Garnier Fructis Damage Repairing with Papaya
โข Amika Triple RX
โข Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair
@m3rc3d3s @Shosh85 @itsfi @ShortErica
For your participatory enjoyment, I've created a hair masking top 3 thread.
https://community.sephora.com/t5/Best-Hair-Ever/Top-3-hair-masks/m-p/4861941#M30714
@m3rc3d3s, I second the three @Shosh85 mentioned. Those 3 are my faves as well and I learned about the Amika and Garnier from shosh85 and the Briogeo from @bakeamuffin! ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐ค๐ค๐๐
Iโve also been enjoying KรฉRASTASE - Nutritive 8H Magic Night Serum and Olaplex No. 3 Hair Repair Perfector 3.3 oz / 100 mL, but those are not technically hair masks.
We need a top 5 (3?) hair masks thread. With a special category for best hair mask no one's heard of.
I loved seeing the results from my top 5 face masks thread....
@l8totheparty Wait. What? When did you have a thread?! I totally missed out on that! ๐ค
You and me both @Shosh85! @l8totheparty
going to do a search now...
@itsfi Thanks! ๐ I'll be looking through my notes and getting a list together!
@Shosh85 I may need days...weeks...months... to narrow it down to 5 favorites. There are just so many masks I love. Oh, dear; this is going to be hard.
@l8totheparty @Shosh85, soooo...I've whittled the list down to 51 masks. lol! ๐ Not even joking, that's 51 off the top of my head. Hahahaha! ๐ I'll have to come back to it another time over the weekend.
@itsfi Haha! I'm not even the slightest bit surprised! I'm pretty positive I could do the same! ๐ #MaskingIsFun @l8totheparty
I don't think I've even tried 51 face masks, let alone found 51 that I like out of more. Lol @itsfi
@l8totheparty I saw this after I already posted, but since you gave permission I'll be adding in the others ๐๐
@itsfi Haha! I know what you mean! Top 20 would be easier for me ๐
@l8totheparty don't forget me! I'm in too! ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ฉ๐จ๐ง
@ShortErica Thatโs why I didnโt post there.
I feel like my excuse that I havenโt tried enough to decide a favorite is no longer valid but my indecision is @emaisgr8. ๐ Excuses, excuses. One day Iโll have to decide.
Both themes were in the spotlight Wednesday evening with a new foot mask and Wednesday's C were about coconuts and cleansing
Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Foaming Mask is a peach-hued foaming wash off mask. Iโm generally not the biggest fan of foaming or bubbling masks but this one is an exception to the rule. I like that thereโs a tint to it since it makes it so much easier to know where the bubbles will foam up. This one leaves my skin feeling cleansed and soft afterwards. After rinsing that mask off, I continued with my regular skincare routine and, applied the Sephora Collection Sleeping Mask โ Coconut Water. This one was gifted to me by the marvelous @keana1 โ thank you! These seem to be either discontinued or perhaps, maybe, being repackaged or reformulated? It has a light, gel consistency and smells subtly of coconut water. Itโs refreshing and after using it overnight, my skin looked and felt fresh, soft and nourished. I think of all the sleeping masks from the Sephora Collection, this coconut water one is the most moisturizing.
I then reached for the Amope Pedimask 20-Minute Foot Mask, which contains a blend of moisturizers and coconut oil. This was a gift from the kind @PrettyPaint โ thank you!! The foot mask is pretty sizeable and comes with sticky tabs to secure the mask in place, at least at the ankles. The mask isnโt the easiest or safest to walk in on its own and I recommend wearing socks over it, which is what I did. The serum in this foot mask is unscented, thin and feels like an oil. Thereโs enough of it to cover the entire foot. I left it on for 20 minutes per the instructions and after removing and massaging in the excess serum, my feet felt soft and smooth.
