I love how coffee smells and tastes @lmaster but I can’t drink coffee, I can stay awake for 36 hours straight! I used to drink coffee when I worked but it was when I started early, didn’t have sleep problems then ! One thing that I’ve never tried is iced coffee, I don’t know why? 😜
Oh wow @keana1 I'm so glad that doesn't happen to me,,, so sorry!! I might stay up for a couple extra hours, but definitely not that long, dang!! Iced coffee is my weakness!!!! I drink sometimes 2 a day 🙄
You’re lucky @lmaster ! I’d probably die from a heart attack if I drank 2 coffees a day LOL 😂!
@keana1 I'm probably not the healthiest! I've been grieve eating and drinking high sugar since my gma passed in December 😟 indulging in things that give me immediate satisfaction 🤦 I know it's wrong but apparently that's how I'm dealing with it
I’m so sorry for your loss @lmaster . I know that you loved her dearly, my condolences to you and your family. We all deal with a major loss in different ways , that’s why comfort food exists. I’m sending you a big virtual hug 🤗!
Thank you so much @keana1 I reciprocate your virtual hug 🤗
Thanks @lmaster! Lost mine 2 years ago, I miss her but we were able to celebrate her 100th birthday a few months before she passed away.
Awwwwww you are so lucky to get that long!!
@keana1 It's such a bummer these masks have a high alcohol content, but I'll still keep repurchasing that Cold Brew mask despite the alcohol 'cause I love it so much! The fit on these Creme Shop masks generally don't seem to fit well, but I agree with you, the scent and results are worth it! ☕️
Im happy to hear you enjoyed The Solution mask! I was gifted this one from @itsfi along with a bunch of others from the line that I'm excited to try - and I'm pleased to hear it gave you wonderful results! 😃
Thanks @Shosh85 ! I’ve only tried a few of the Creme Shop masks but you’re right about how they fit, it varies from mask to mask! I agree with you about the alcohol content but if you use a serum or toner that hydrates before applying a sheet mask it makes a big difference!
@Shosh85, I keep telling myself to work through the other flavors from The Face Shop line, but end up repurchasing my faves time and time again. hahaha! Maybe now that I'm on a low(er) buy, I'll get to trying out every flavor in the line. 😉
@keana1, do you have any favorites from this line of sheet masks from The Face Shop?
I do but you’ll find out soon @itsfi ! They’re on their way as we speak! 😜 Surprise!
I just realized that you were talking about The Solution line @itsfi ! I love them all ! ❤️
@keana1 Thanks for the reviews. That's a great tip about the sodium hyaluronate. I'll need to see if I have any products that contain this, because I do tend to be sensitive to high alcohol content in masks it seems.
@keana1, TCS Cold Brew mask is one I enjoy. It usually makes me want a cold brew whenever I see the mask but I had more coffee than I should have yesterday so I'm just going to remind myself that I don't need it. haha! I've really enjoyed all the masks in that line of sheet masks from The Face Shop - lots of good, solid performing masks. Pyunkang Yul!!! Love their essence toner and this toner mist is a nice one during the warmer months. <333 Happy to hear you're liking these products.
You must have been perky yesterday @itsfi ! If I drink coffee ( 1 cup ) I can stay awake for 36 hours straight! I’m glad that I found out about the Pyunkang Yul essence toner mist, it’s one of my favorite mists ! I use it everyday and I’ll be using it this winter also, you can’t have enough sodium hyaluronate! I still have other The Creme Shop masks to try from your both Unicorn Mail ! I can’t you enough! 🤗
"you can’t have enough sodium hyaluronate!" So true, @keana1! <333 Love it! 🙂
C week
C is for Collagen. I used the Entel Mask Pack Collagen Mask Pack which was a gift from my lovely friend @itsfi ( 🤗 ). I have to admit that I was a bit concerned that the heavily floral perfume scent might trigger a migraine but I only ended up sneezing a few times! The fit was average but the results were surprising! I fell asleep with it on and when I woke up, I just threw it away and fell asleep immediately afterwards without applying any serums and my favorite summer moisturizer ( DE Protini, somehow I’m unable to tag it ? ). I woke up with plump, moisturized skin and my fine lines/wrinkles had disappeared 🍾 ! Because of the fragrance, I have to give this mask an A- but I wouldn’t hesitate to use the same mask again!
