@GalPalVal17 I think most Leaders masks leave a bit of tack for me, too. I tried this one and liked it, not as much as the Hibiscus one from the same line, though.
@GalPalVal17 I haven't tried that Leaders mask but have tried a couple from the line that I really liked - Sorry to hear it was just ok.
I've never heard of the Lyajin masks before, but I'm glad to hear it was at least a little better than the other one. I'm guessing that lady on the package is Lyajin Ryoe?
@GalPalVal17 Thanks for the reviews! I hadn't seen either of these before, so I enjoyed reading about them.
Oh goodness, @itsfi that AP must be my favorite of their products, hands down. I've been using it all week in the mornings with cleansing oil (thank you @keana1 for the suggestion!) and it's such a love.
Haven't tried any of the Briskin products although they've been in my basket more than once. Just want to get a feel for their fit/scent, any suggestions to start off with?
The AP enzyme peel is definitely one of their bests @eshoe. 😃
@itsfi I've used a few masks close to their expiration date and have wondered if they would've turned out any different if the mask had been brand new. That'd be an interesting experiment- two of the exact same masks but one that was brand new and one that was about to expire. 🤔
I know what you mean about the holiday sets! I bought both the Laniege and Bite sets last year - I've just finished the 3 little Laniege minis but have hardly touched the rest..... and I'll probably still break down and buy more holiday sets of something, cuz I'm weak 😂🤷♀️
Congrats on finishing the 3 minis, @Shosh85 - that's a big deal! My FS is barely dented and I am madly attempting to finish at least ONE Bite before buying more. But what wintery scent/flavor do you think they will come up with this year to draw us in? And on another note, have you picked up any holiday sets yet?
@eshoe I haven't picked up any sets yet. Even though I definitely don't need any more lip balms, I do have my eyes on the LANEIGE - Kiss Me at Midnight set, but only because I want the two minis; Mint Choco and Sweet Candy. I'd probably give the FS to a sibling 😉
Now @Shosh85 I hadn’t even seen that...I think I’m with you on the gifting part. I like the little pots, anyway-they are too cute! Mint choco sounds good, wonder if it will have that Velamints mint chocolate scent.
@Shosh85, I do wonder how the Briskin mask would have performed if it were in its prime. 🤔 Congratulations on finishing up another Laneige mini - they may look small but they sure hold quite a bit of product. The holiday sets are definitely a weakness, be it lip masks or something else. Hahaha! 🤣
I can't wait for the snail mucin multi-masking bonanza review @itsfi ! I will definitely be taking notes on that day. 🙂 I really do need to go through my masks and organize them by expiration date. I know I have a few of TCS Resveratrol that are expiring soon & need to be used.
Awww thanks @mrsmouse! 🤗 I think the hardest part will be deciding which snail sheet mask to use. 🐌
If TCS resveratrol is a mask you like, is it one that would work for daily masking? That’s definitely a way to use ‘em up.
Honestly, I rarely mask in the morning @itsfi , and when I do it's usually on the weekend and just a 10 minute, wash off kind of mask. I'm just not that together until I've had a cup of coffee or twelve. 😉
I think I have 3 of the resveratrol that are expiring & probably a couple of weeks left to use them so I should be able to squeeze them into my evening masking. 🙂
2 loves right there for me- that Amorepacific and the Laneige. Both of which I often forget to use, despite the Laneige sitting on my bedside table. 🤦🏼♀️
The Amorepacific I don't want to get wet for obvious (the item is a powder) reasons, so I do not tuck it in the shower, but since I like to rinse it off in the shower I often forget it because- out of sight out of mind in this case.
Have you tried the AMOREPACIFIC - Treatment Enzyme Peeling Masque? ❤ or maybe I have asked before, I apologize if I forgot!
I love that AP masque @l8totheparty! I picked up a full size of it earlier this month. Or maybe it was last month? It’s good!!! 😍 I had a sample of it and went to reach for it after reading your raves about it. 💕
I'm so glad you like it! 💗😊 @itsfi
Gentle yet effective. And quick! Everytime I use it the results make me happy.
@itsfi a lot of great products there. Great reminder to check the expiration dates on the masks. And on the lip mask, that holiday set was great to try out the different "flavors" but same here, wont need to pick up another one of those. However, I may pick up another set as I dont have many lip masks or balms.
Thank you @GalPalVal17. I was better earlier in the year at making sure to use masks before they expired. I need to get back into a routine with that.
The holiday sets get me every year!!! 😂 Every. Year. It’s becoming a tradition in that regard. 😂🤣😂
