@Shosh85 well shoot that sounds like a winner!!
@GalPalVal17 It definitely was! Never used a mask like this before! 😃
Oooh this sounds good @Shosh85! @heartsmyface has exquisite taste (and style). I have to confess that I first thought the brand was “J” Beauty. lol. 😂 Now I know. 😊 We can’t blame it on foggy brain 🧠 from being sick because I had that thought well before I was sick. Ohhhh Fi!! 🤪
@itsfi Haha! I wasn't quite sure what letter it was at first either, I had to look it up 😂😃
@heartsmyface definitely has great taste! I could not believe how smooth my face was! I loved it! 😍
Sorry to hear you're still sick! Hope it goes away for you soon! 🤧
Monday morning masking with a deliciously scented coconut theme and one of my favorite hydrating masks.
@itsfi I just wrote down the coconut mask on the list of things to try. I think I'd definitely like this one! I haven't heard much talk about this one for some reason!
Interesting hair serum, @itsfi. It sounds very pleasant, and they always have such an affordable selection of beauty items! I wonder if it would work like the Ouai Rose oil, on your elbows/knees, etc.
It probably would be very nice if it were used like the Ouai as a hair and body serum @eshoe.
I can almost smell the coconut from here! I'm glad to hear you're feeling better, @itsfi. It would have been a shame to miss out on the yummy coconut scents!
😊 The coconut scent on this sheet mask is nice and fresh; love it @quspork! I’m so happy I was able to smell it too. I don’t like scents that overwhelm but ones that are light add a nice touch to a masking experience .
@itsfi so glad you are starting to feel better. Coconut is such a great scent and ingredient, a great way to wake up your senses.
Slowly but surely I will beat this cold @GalPalVal17! 😂 The scent on this one is nice - not so much that it’s overpowering.
I sure hope they don't fully discontinue this mask @itsfi I do love this one too, happy to hear your feeling better! 🙌
It’s such a good mask @lmaster! I don’t think the brand is discontinuing it (certainly hope not). It’s just not available online through Sephora. Fortunately for us, there are other online stockists for this mask. 💗
@itsfi These all sound great - glad you enjoyed everything! There are a few sleeping masks I like to use as a daytime moisturizer too and it works pretty well!
That TCFS is definitely a favorite of mine too! I wasn't aware it wasn't sold at Sephora anymore! I've ordered direct from TCFS before, so guess I'll have to keep doing that. They have sales and promotions too so I'll just have to wait for those. 😉
@Shosh85, it feels like Sephora is gradually phasing out the TCFS products it carries. There’s much fewer TCFS items available than in the past. I’ll have to look into ordering direct.
What other sleeping masks do you like to use to use as a moisturizer?
My favorite one to use as a moisturizer is the Origins Drink Up™ Intensive Overnight Hydrating Face Mask with Avocado & Swiss Glacier Water 2.5 oz/...
Sometimes I also use The Creme Shop Watermelon overnight mask when I'm needing just light moisturizing 😉
Last night I tried the Jean Pierre subtle c water balm watermelon sleeping mask, procured from Winners. I bought it a couple weeks/months ago and then promptly tucked it away, making me think the purchase was just a dream. Found it again! It smells divine, subtly of watermelon. It soaked right in, leaving nothing on the skin, no tackiness or greasy skin, but softness the next morning. Next time I will wait the minute or two for it to soak in and then apply a second layer. 🍉🍉
It smells so sweet and fresh! And can't beat that price. @faeriegirl
Ohh, this sounds lovely, @l8totheparty! Watermelon makes for a nice summer mask ingredient!
