Ha ha sometimes when the pic is off too much (for my liking) I don’t post @itsfi. I want the photo to soothe me, and if it doesn’t, it’s not something I want to share.
I will definitely buy more of the Missha; I can’t think of a more enjoyable ‘filler’ mask😄 An A+ one at that!
@eshoe, I consider it a victory if I can get a pic before the bottle(s) or jar(s) start slowly rolling off the table or counter. Hahaha! 😆
@missjeanie, for photos with jars or bottles, I’ll either place a part of it on or next to the sheet mask to hold it in place or I’ll position the jar/bottle down first trying to find a place where it doesn’t roll off and then I’ll work around that in terms of placement of other items for the pic (and my auto correct just decided (twice) that I didn’t mean to use the word “placement” there but “placenta” - hahaha! 😂). If that doesn’t work, I’ll use my table that has a small dent in it and use the dent to keep the jar in place. Heehee! 😉
@itsfiI think your autocorrect knows that gross masks are just your thing now! lol I'm usually snapping a photo on my granite countertop so everything rolls there lol. I do use the edge of the sheet mask packet a lot! Photography has never been my strong suit lol. Half the time I'm just trying to avoid massive glare from the light or shadows from my phone lol
Hahaha @missjeanie! 😂🤣😂 it most definitely wanted placenta to be the word! LOL! 😆 I’ve been interested in photography but just don’t have the patience for it. Oh my goodness, glare and shadows from the light just kill me! I’m always a second too late for a shot. Had I clicked just a second before, it’s be a great shot but nope!! I’ll iust focus on masking.
That's what the little muslin cloth under my stuff helps with, @missjeanie - keeping everything in its place 😉
Well Dang... sometimes it really is a simple solution isn't it @eshoe ... why didn't I think of that?? lol
Sometimes form and function are really the same @missjeanie 😄
My last floral for the week was the Beoa Australia Rosehip & Kakadu Plum mask. This was packaged in 5 individual packets and I truthfully thought it was a clay mask based on appearance. Turns out it's more of a heavy cream mask that doesn't set down. I only needed about 1/3 of the packet so I'll use the rest up this week. The downside to this mask was the scent. I'm sure if you enjoy floral scents it would be nice, however floral isn't really my jam, so I wasn't into it. Luckily it dissipated as I wore the mask. I left this on for about a half hour (had to sort my empties lol) and my skin felt nicely moisturized. I went a little heavier on the DE Retinol after this since I figured my skin was looking ok moisture wise. Would I repurchase this, no. Will I use it up eventually, yes.
Ok I am officially over rose scent lol!
@missjeanie where are you at in your DE rotation? I’m going into week 2 of 2x a week, and have had no adverse reactions so I will probably move up to 3x week after this week.
I'm at week 3 now I believe. I've been going every third day. I had a wee bit of dryness/flakyness one day where I knew I overdid it and put way too much on, but other than that no ill effects. As far as results go... maybe a wee bit of texture going down, but that's about it so far. @eshoe
@missjeanie, I like the sound of moisturized skin, but the scent on this one sounds a bit much. Is there added fragrance to the mask?
@itsfiyes, there's fragrance about half way through the ingredient list. bummer because it was a nice enough mask otherwise.
@missjeanie I like how this mask sounds, except for the scent – that's too bad! A creamy mask that doesn't dry down sounds right up my alley!
It actually really surprised me @Shosh85 , I wasn't expecting it at all! The scent is where they lost me too. Florals just aren't my thing.
@IndyQT317, Sephora had something like Kiehl's. They used it to sell you skin type moisturizers.
@IndyQT317 Well shoot, I should have known there is a tool for everything. Would be quite interested in trying that. Its crazy to think what we know and then to find out what it really is. Definitely have a rematch and share 🙂
Wow that is a very interesting tool @IndyQT317! Would be curious to see what mine is like but it’s probably just as low! Yes, would love to hear if you get another reading with it what it says🤔
