@lmaster It's too bad it not worth the price you paid for it, but I'm happy to hear it was pretty good for the most part!
I must be super cheap, 'cause I don't even like paying $10 for a mask, especially when there are soooo many affordable masks that do an amazing job! 👍😉
I know I know @Shosh85 I splurged at a weak moment 😂
@lmaster Haha! I totally get it! I have definitely had plenty of those moments myself. 😂😆
Glad you liked it ok, minus the eye-burning of course, @lmaster. The price tag is a little too much for me for something that's not absolutely wowing, but it's good to know that it's nice cooling option.
@quspork yeah it just wasn't worth that price tag, that's for sure
@lmaster Luxury for sure! I agree with @ShortErica, I find 24$ a mask a high buy in, but you did get results....For me these are masks I'd think more about getting with points so that I feel like I didn't pay for it? Sounds like the results were awesome.... might need to keep this in mind for a points spree some time!
Just be very cautious about the mask getting close to your eyes @missjeanie 😳
Wow @lmaster $24 for a mask is a big buy-in. I'm glad you were able to enjoy an intense cooling sensation and get some skin hydration. Now I'm curious how sheet mask prices are determined.
Exactly @ShortErica because the actual sheet mask was darn near identical to the oozoo rose capsule 🤷
For this morning's masking, "P" is for Pearl. My luxe pick is the by Terry Baume de Rose Lip Balm and my budget friendly love is the Garnier Fructis Damage Repairing Treat Ultimate Hair Mask + Papaya Hair Mask (oooh, another “P")
The by Terry Baume de Rose Lip Balm is great – really luxurious, both in terms of its price and its feel; this one is a nice one if you want to treat yourself. I’m glad there was a DS in a gwp bag from a while back. The Garnier Fructis Damage Repairing Treat Ultimate Hair Mask + Papaya Hair Mask is all thanks to the fabulous @Shosh85 – thank you for introducing all of us to this amazingly scented and fantastic hair mask and for gifting this one to me – it’s wonderful and I never want to be without this mask. My hair thanks you, too! 🙂
I’m in meetings all day today and the start time is earlier than I would have chosen myself (ha!), so I went with Annie’s Way Pearl + Hyaluronic Acid Brightening Mask. I found this mask pack at TJ Maxx before the holidays last year, I think. I haven’t see them since, but if I do, you better believe I’m going to grab them all! 🙂 The mask is a little too wide on the sides and at the bridge of the nose, but in general, other than that, this is a beautiful mask – adheres well, feels so soft – like you’re not even wearing a sheet mask, and the results are marvelous. I’ve used the hydrating one in the line and loved it. Same goes for this brightening one. My complexion looks fresh, awake, bright; and my skin feels hydrated. It’s still a bit too early for me this morning, but this mask is making my face looks ready for the long day ahead - I'm going to think about masking tonight if the day starts to feel long. 🙂
@itsfi I've run across some Annie's Way Masks before and have wondered about them. This one certainly sounds wonderful!
I'm so happy to hear you're still liking the hair mask! It falls under both themes perfectly! 😉👍
@Shosh85, the Garnier papaya hair mask is a huuuuge love! This one, the Amika Rx mask and the Briogeo are definitely tops in my book. I wouldn't have known how great this one is if it were not for you - thank you so much! 🙂
That Annie’s Way packaging is so pretty, love the color combo! So good to know I’m not the only one who daydreams about masking, @itsfi 😂
The packaging on the Annie's Way masks are pretty @eshoe; the color schematics chosen for the different masks definitely grab your attention.
I find that some meetings get long and I end up split screening my laptop with BIC open.... Some meetings should really just be an email!! Hope you get some rest tonight after an early start @itsfi ! I'll be curious to know how many times you changed your mind on tonights masking mid meeting! lol
hahaha, @missjeanie! The meeting was supposed to go through the middle of the afternoon and during the morning part of it, I kept thinking how much longer until lunch. 😉 lol!
lol... I do that ALL the time with meetings and boring classes! Hopefully lunch was a good distraction @itsfi
The sheet masks in this Annie's Way line has some pretty and/or cute packaging @lmaster; very aesthetically appealing. Great too that they work so well! 🙂
Sounds like a great way to start the day, @itsfi!
It was @quspork, brightening and hydration in a soft, thin sheet mask and that papaya hair masks is one of my faves! 🙂
