No, not naive. I first heard of almond jello (or almond jelly is probably more accurate) when I was in college. I was baffled as I grew up with jello as a special treat we'd have occasionally (and I thought I knew all the flavors) and I had no clue what some of my friends were talking about. I haven't had it in such a long time. Hmmmm... I may need to go look for a place that sells the mix next weekend.
Oh that sounds good @itsfi! I have almond extract, not sure if the recipe calls for it but now I want to look one up to try it out!
@itsfi whipped potatoes... that's exactly what I thought when I tried that Fresh mask this week! 😂 The consistency of that Dear, Klairs mask sounds a lot like my Kypris... it took a long time before I saw it go down and it always looks like I didn't scoop some out. Sounds like a good one even though there is some tackiness.
@veronika23, yaaay, I’m not the only one that thought that about the Fresh mask! I thought it might just be me; like, maybe I was really hungry 😋 or I just think about food a lot. 😂😂😂 But it does look like real smooth whipped potatoes. 🥔 It’s made me think that I’ll pair it with a potato sheet mask soon!
The texture of the Klairs mask is so fascinating. Oh, your Kypris mask? That’s the never ending mask, right?! Good to know; I’ll try to keep track of usage on this one and see how long it takes to get through it.
@itsfi I'm glad I'm not the only one either... I was looking at it, feeling it and was like how the heck do I describe this in a review... mashed/whipped potatoes??? 😂😂😂
yeah it's the never ending... well I can see it has gone down now but yeah it took a while before that happened... and trying to keep track of usage too... might be using a bit more than I should as well since I am well over that 3 month mark for it. I'll be curious to know how long it takes for you to get through your jar!
That Klairs sounds super intriguing, @itsfi. Thanks for the review!
@quspork I’m completely intrigued by the Dear, Klairs mask! Will be using it again!
That Black Tea mask is so nice @itsfi! The Klairs mask does sound interesting, curious to hear how you like it after a few more uses, especially as the ‘starfish of masks’ 😄
So far, so good with the Dear, Klairs mask @eshoe! My skin feels soft and bouncy. 🙂 Will be interesting to see how it holds up as an overnight mask and moisturizer as well. Love finding new and interesting masks; I’ve been fortunate to have found a few.
I agree @itsfi, it's so much fun trying new masks; it's been interesting branching out in the past few months to brands I've never heard of. It's a fun passion to have:)
I was so surprised @lmaster! 😲 Definitely going to try it again!
@itsfi that sounds so cool
@itsfi All A's is always a good thing! The Dear Klairs mask definitely does sound interesting and intriguing! I actually like the sound of that consistency – though, I don't think I've used one like that before!
I have a foil sample of the Black Tea Mask that I had forgotten about! Now I feel like I really need to try it! I wouldn't expect it to have a cucumber scent! 🥒
Oh my goodness @Shosh85, I was not expecting that the Fresh Black Tea mask would have a cucumber scent! 🥒 I snuck my nose 👃🏼 into the jar twice to smell it just to make sure! Hahaha! 😂😂😂
Ah @itsfi that dear klairs sounds so interesting! 🐙 (there’s no starfish emoji and the octopus is cuter than a regular star LOL). I’m so happy you had results! Sometimes (irrational, I know), I feel like lighter textured masks aren’t ~doing~ anything, but I love that it can do triple duty! I’m always up for a moisturizing mask!
@cianni, I was surprised by the Dear, Klairs mask - the results and that it bounced back in the jar! I’ll definitely use it again and will take a before and after photo of it. Love the octopus 🐙 emoji. 👍🏼
Used the lovely “F”resh Vitamin c glow powder mask earlier this morning. This is one of my favorite quick masks! In 30 seconds it gives me an instant glow and tightened and refined pores. Later I tried out the Mahalo Petal Mask. I think my skin just doesn’t really get a long with the brand. It did have a super nice scent but instead of hydrating my skin it made my skin so incredibly dry. I tried to wait for like half an hour after I used it (edit - left it on for 25 minutes) to see if maybe it was an initial reaction but my skin felt so dry I ended up needing to grab a hydrating sheet mask.
Love that Fresh mask too, @Kim888! Isn't it great when a $$$ mask doesn't work for you though? I wish I didn't love it so much...sorry it didn't work out:/
The glow powder sounds really nice @Kim888! Sorry the Mahalo didn't work out for you and that you had to grab a hydrating sheet mask. 😞
@Kim888, sorry to hear the Mahalo The Petal didn’t work out for you. The Fresh vitamin C packets sound nice; convenient to have it in a single use packet too.
