@itsfi ah thank you!! I’ve been tearing through my samples and DS, so I feel like in a few weeks I’ll be fully prepared to decide what belongs in a kit 🤔 I’ll definitely post it! I always find it helpful to see what other people use. What helped for your hives? I’m pretty prone to hives and itchiness on my face as well and it’s always at the most inopportune times and it’s sooooo hard not to touch my face 😰
@cianni, for hives, Benadryl (or other antihistamine), a cold compress and aloe work well for me, but Benadryl makes me drowsy 💤 so I only take that if I’m somewhere where I can just sit and rest (or sleep). An oatmeal rinse or bath is also helpful depending on where the hives are - uncooked oatmeal + warm (or lukewarm) water + new, unused knee high hosiery (to hold the oatmeal) + rubber band. Aloe was my best friend with that last incident. 🙂
Oh no @lmaster! I think I have this one; will try to see if I do. My experience with this particular TonyMoly like hasn’t been very consistent - some ‘flavors’ are better than others. I was hoping the honey one would be one of the hits - I love honey 🍯! I’ll try to remember to tag you if I find this mask in my stash and use it.
@itsfi I really have not had an issue until now,, the holiday masks I tried were not the best, but these I've had good luck with 🤷
@lmaster aw that’s too bad. Every once in a while there’s a sheetmask that either never had enough serum or that must have leaked at some point and has dried up. Once had a mask that was cut improperly. There was an extra fold in the fabric during manufacturing so when I unfolded it, the face was longer on one side and could have wrappped around into my hair. 😄
I can’t remember my experience with TonyMoly masks ( I have very few of
them so that may be an indicator that they didn’t wow me) but if you’ve had good luck with them up until now I would just assume it’s a fluke.
@heartsmyface I've used many other tonymoly masks and they all had a decent amount of serum 🤔
@lmaster Bummer. I haven't tried any from this line because of all the mixed reviews I've heard, but the Honey one was what I was the most interested about. I'm curious to know if that's how it's really supposed to be, or if you just got a bad one. 🤔 Sorry to hear it was a disappointment.
@Shosh85 I've never had this problem with the others I've tried, so this was a confusing 😅
@Shosh85 TonyMoly was one of the first sheet mask brands that I got into and I have very little memory of how they performed. This is actually bothering me. Ha, I wouldn’t have known to be snobby about serums and masking materials back then anyway. I may have to try a couple so I can refresh my memory.
@heartsmyface Yeah, I'm still planning on trying some of them out so I can form my own opinion about them. I just Haven't been too excited to get started!
Ahhh bummer @lmaster. Can’t say I’ve had a great one from that line so I’m no help, but I can confirm I’ve had many duds so I definitely sympathize with the time and effort you put into taking care of your skin👍🏼😄
Thanks anyway @eshoe I appreciate your input
I used 3 of my favorites and found a new favorite today. I definitely feel fabulous from head to toe! I used the orchid SEPHORA COLLECTION Face Mask Grape
for the first time today and I love it. It fit well and smells great. I also used my absolute favorite almond SEPHORA COLLECTION - Foot Mask.
Avocado SEPHORA COLLECTION - Hand Mask.
and DRYBAR - Mudslide Nourishing Hair Mask.
@faeriegirl These are so great! Favorites of mine too! The almond foot mask and avocado hand mask are my favorite scents those come in! Glad to hear you enjoy them all! 😃👍
Happy to hear the Orchid face mask was a hit, @faeriegirl! I ordered it by mistake (thought I was ordering the eye mask 😆 and haven’t tried it yet, but now I’m excited to! Great masking, too:)
Those Sephora hand and foot masks are my favorites @faeriegirl! 🖐🏼🦶🏻 I picked up the Orchid face mask a while ago and plan on giving it a try during when “O” is the letter of the week; it’s nice to hear you and @sephoraaddict918 like it! 👍🏼😃 I’ll have to look into that hair mask.
So many great masks @faeriegirl!!! I just used the Orchid mask for the first time a few days ago, and I really enjoyed it. And the Almond Foot Mask and Avocado Hand Masks are my FAVES!!!!
@sonnydee I so agree with you on sleeping masks!! I did this exact thing last night... I wanted to mask, but was just so tired, sleeping mask to the rescue!
