@lmaster It seems everything I've heard about the brand has been positive!
I agree the artwork on it is so nice! I love when a mask is great inside and out 😉😃
After doing lots of heavy lifting and showering the sweat off I put this puppy on. It was instantly cooling and felt lovely and relaxing. I always have to do a little surgery on creme shop by the eyes, but no bigger. This was gifted to me by the lovely @mrsmouse thank you sweetheart
I'm so glad you liked this one @Weetart ! It's one I like too. 🙂
Thanks again @mrsmouse ! ❤️ Additionally the chocolates have been absolutely delicious! Trader Joes is a little bit of a hike for me so I was stoked to find some of their yummy chocolates. Honestly chocolate covered beans are better than coffee if you need a jolt of caffine.
Yay! I'm so glad you liked the chocolates too @Weetart ! The chocolate covered beans are a bit of a weakness for me...they're just so good!
@Weetart Oh how nice! I haven't tried this one. I always have to do some eye surgery on this brand too.
I suggest giving it a go when you run across it @PrettyPaint . And yeah, these always have the eyes too close together, it tents out on the outer sides of my eyes. I can't think off hand other brands that I have this particular problem with. It's typically the inner eye, chin, or a little short in the forehead, but *shrug* that's what sissors are for.
Hard to go wrong with a hyaluronic acid mask @Weetart! It sounds wonderful! 🙂
Hah! It most definitely is hard to go wrong with hyaluronic acid @itsfi ! My skin has the endless capatibilty to soak it up. Makes a visible long term difference if used daily.
It most definitely is @lmaster !
@Weetart It's been awhile since I've tried this one but I do remember liking it! So happy to hear you enjoyed it! Sounds perfect post-shower too 👌😃
Definitely! @Shosh85 @It felt so cool and refreshing without having to be refrigerated!
What did you think of this one? I have it sitting around and haven’t tried it out yet.
It was absolutely wonderful after a hot shower! Helped rehydrate and cool @rockstargina
H is for Herb Tea
This was my first time using CremorLab Herb Tea Pure Calming Sheet Mask. Let me just say off the bat, this is a good one! 🙂
Adherence on this one is amazing! The thin and soft 100% cotton material just hugs your skin, cocooning your face in the clear liquid-y essence. Fit was typical of most sheet masks, but that’s where my mini scissors come in handy. I picked up a very mild tea scent when I first opened the packet and applied the sheet mask on my face but that was it. I ended up having this mask on for about 45 minutes and there was plenty more essence in the mask. I suspect I could have had it in on for an additional half hour. After pressing in the excess essence, my skin felt tacky, a lot tackier than it normally does but not so much that I would say it was sticky. I don’t know when that tackiness fully dissipated because I feel asleep or a couple of hours and by the time I got up, my skin didn’t have that tacky feeling to it anymore. The mask claims to soothe, hydrate and calm redness. I had a little redness at the side of my nose (oh, the joys of being sick) and that redness had calmed down which I thought was great, but that’s not a large area so it’s hard for me to say how well the mask works on a larger area of redness. Now as for hydration, it did a wonderful job of hydrating my skin! My skin gets more dry when I’m under the weather and this worked nicely to keep my skin from becoming dry. This is a mask I would happily repurchase and use again. 🙂
Love this mask, @itsfi! So happy to hear it worked well for you too!
@itsfi Wow, I think I'd like this one! It sounds like the results are some of the major things I like in a sheet mask, and the fit sounds really good. I don't think I've seen this brand around before! And I hope your cold is starting to go away now - I hate having that redness on the nose.
@PrettyPaint, there's a 5-pack of these Cremorlab masks currently available on net-a-porter dot com for $16 which is a good deal, since an individual mask (with a different packaging) is going for $6 at Peach & Lily.
Oh yes, the dreaded red nose. Ugh. I've noticed some more redness on my face (boo!). Hopefully things will get back to normal once I'm rid of this cold once and for all. Not quite 100% but am definitely feeling much better. 🙂
@itsfi I always forget to check net-a-porter for sheet masks ! Thanks for reminding me! These look like a definite must try !
