Friday morning's L was for Leaders
My forehead, nose and chin were looking a little more oily than usual on Friday so I applied the SEPHORA COLLECTION - Mask Stick - Bamboo to those areas and the fresh Sugar Mint Rush Freshening Lip Treatment .15 oz / 4.3 g to soften and moisturize my lips before moving on to one of my favorite sheet masks from one of my favorite sheet masks brands. Leaders Daily Wonders What Happened Last Night? Radiance Revitalizing Mask is one of the best fitting masks for my face – while it’s a little too wide at the temples, the only adjustment I really need to make is to cut off a little less than an inch of material at the chin/jawline area. Then I give my skin about an half hour to absorb the clean, fresh and sweetly scented watery essence on this thin cotton mask. Adherence is great and I don’t recall experiencing any tackiness when I’ve used this mask, Friday morning or in the past. My skin felt soft, smooth and hydrated and looked fresh and refreshed, with a lit from within dewy radiance that came through my makeup beautifully, which was much needed as I had a handful of meetings that morning.
How's your fresh Sugar Mint Rush Freshening Lip Treatment .15 oz / 4.3 g going @itsfi? It has been my purse product and I'm maybe going to see the end of it by the end of the year. 😂 It's been nice but I will be excited to try some other things.
Lol, the name on that mask is very clever @itsfi. I don't use very many sheet masks but that one sounds fun and useful. How mattifying is that bamboo mask?
@Anonymous, I feel like the Bamboo mask stick smooths out the skin more than it makes it matte. My skin is dehydrated-combo/dry. The oilier parts of my face are less oily but I don’t know if I’d say it’s completely matte after using the bamboo mask.
Lol @Weetart! 😆 The masks in this line have fun names. There’s also “Bye Bye Dry” and “Too Much Fun In The Sun”. 😃
Thank you @lmaster! Leaders has been a good brand for sheet masks for me. 😃
@itsfi Those mask sticks sure are convenient and perfect for targeting specific areas. 👌
I tried the "Bye Bye Dry" one from the same line and loved it, so I'm happy to hear this is a repurchase for you! I'd really like to try out more from the line😃👍
@Shosh85, the “Bye Bye Dry” is my other fave from this line! 😍 I love the names. 😆 There was a black charcoal mask that they have; it was okay the first time I used it. I may have set my expectations too high. I should try it out again one of these days.
Those are great effects from a mask! And kudos for you for having time in your mornings to mask 😊
Thanks @l8totheparty. I tend to get up early ... either that or I can't fall back asleep so masking seems like a good way to use that extra time. 😉
Mask Meetup Time!! I think the consensus is that Look At Me's Watermelon Face Mask smells of deliciously sweet watermelon, and I absolutely agree. It was truly a pleasure to wear. I feel like this was one of the better fitting Look At Me Masks for me. The main adjustment that I needed to make was snipping the eye holes so that it fit the bridge of my nose better. I don't usually leave a mask on way past the recommendations, but I actually left this one on for 45 minutes because it smelled so good! After removing, there was some residual tackiness, but nothing bothersome or sticky. My skin felt very moisturized and a bit bouncy even. This was definitely at the top of the list in terms of Look At Me Masks for me!
This one is definitely my favorite from this line @PrettyPaint!
@faeriegirl It's definitely one of my favorites too! 🙂
@lmaster Agreed! The scent is just perfect! 🙂
@PrettyPaint I agree, I think this one is the winner! They've definitely all been so nice though! Glad you enjoyed it! 🍉👍
Glad you loved it too @Shosh85. It was truly a pleasure! 🙂
@PrettyPaintso great to hear that this one worked out so well for you too! 🙂 This one seems to check a lot of boxes for most folks. I love that it is hydrating and the yummy scent doesn't hurt at all! 🙂 Have you tried all of the masks from this line?
The scent was definitely delicious! @itsfi. I'm glad that you enjoyed it too. Yes, I've tried all seven now (I can't believe I actually did a mask seven days in a row). I put a ranking up today, though some of them were close enough that they were more of a tie.
