@itsfi So fun! I know I've seen these before, but don't recall the brand name. I don't know if it's this same brand, but I know there's a set of Disney Villian masks – this one looks like the Evil Queen from Snow White! Can't wait to hear your review on this (and also exactly what this one is!)
Last night, I went with a couple of different products for my last fruit focused masks for fruits and veggies week. The OH peel could also fit in with this week's V theme, for Vitamin C. 🙂
The Ole Henriksen Power Bright 3- Step Professional Brightening System is an oldie but goodie and is a fabulous citrus-scented peel! I can usually eek out 2 uses with each packet, and a box of these comes with 6 packets. I picked up a few boxes from TJ Maxx / Marshalls earlier this year and I’m glad I stocked up because I don’t think OH makes this set anymore.
I couldn’t let fruits and veggies week end last night without using a peach-scented product, so I reached for the Iroha Hand Mask Gloves Repair (Peach) and Iroha Foot Mask Socks Repair (Peach). The first time I tried these I had let them sit in my bin for a long time and the scent was fading. I keep getting drawn in by the peach on these packets and picking up a pair. I'm glad I do though because these hand and foot masks smell peach-rrific. 😉 Topped off my lips with the Chapstick Peaches & Cream lip balm, which smells like a peachsicle milkshake – yuuuum!
It smells so good @lmaster! Just like its name says - peaches and cream! 🙂
The peach masks and balm sound great @itsfi❤️🍑 I remember using those OH peels and liking them. Have you tried the transforming ones in the blue packets?
@faeriegirl, I have a box of the blue packets but I haven't used them yet. Have you tried them?
It’s been awhile since I used them @itsfi but I remember I really liked the almond polish and the comfort mask. And if I remember right the lemon part was pretty tingly.
@itsfi I love the OH Power Bright! Definitely effective and the scent is so nice! I remember when I first started using it, it was really hard for me to remember not to wash off step 2! Haha!
I bet after the Hand and Foot masks you smelled delicious! 🍑 I picked up a three pack of chapstick that had the peaches & cream, and it really is soo good! The pink lemonade and sweet watermelon flavors are excellent too!
Your chapstick 3-pack had peaches & cream, pink lemonade and watermelon, @Shosh85?!! ❤️ I'm going to have to find that set. 🙂 Those would be a dream lip balm set for me. Mine was a 3-pack as well, but the other flavors are green jelly bean and cotton candy. I haven't tried the other two...yet. I'm gonna need to find me some corresponding masks... or I'll have to get creative to pair them with complementary masks.
@itsfi I think I saw that 3 pack too! I found mine at Walmart 😃
No Walmart near me @Shosh85, but I'm within walking distance to a CVS and Walgreens, so I'll take a look. If not, there's always good ol' amazon! 🙂 Thank you!!
oh Turmeric and Cranberry sounds like a great mask @IndyQT317 !
A cooling mask sounds especially nice right now @IndyQT317! have you tried using a makeup eraser to remove masks? @lmaster suggested it awhile back and it’s saved me so much grief.
@IndyQT317 Such a great masking session! I like the sound of the mint mask having a cooling effect- that always feels so nice to me. I actually like that the sheet mask had a crazy amount of milky serum - but sometimes I'll shake the mask out a little bit first. The Kiehls mask sounds wonderful! What does it smell like?
@IndyQT317, I've loved all the Sephora eye masks that I've used; they're great! Helpful to have your thoughts on both Freeman masks; I've picked those up and put them back a couple of times. Will pass on the sheet masks but that mint+lemon clay mask sounds like a good fit for my T-zone this summer! Love the purple nails! 🙂
Nice masking @IndyQT317! The Kiehl’s mask sounds great😊
Hahahaha, i’m Away from home for a couple days and brought a couple unicorn masks. I tried the Unicorn Glow mask from the masks on the move box. It juiced all over me when I opened the package. So much serum and not a very absorbant material. The rainbow detail was super cute but the fit was....well, terrible. Hilariously so. It’s like a thin papery material and the nose isn’t cut properly. It is super moisturizing but I had to take it off early cause it fitting so close to my eyes plus the extreme juiciness equated to the serum getting into my eyes. If I had a pair of scissors on me I could have made this work better. Good concept with the rainbow but poor execution with the material.
@heartsmyface I tried this one last night as well. I agree such a dud due to the material!
