Yes @lmaster!! I was hoping the PTR Thermal mask would warm up like the Farmacy one. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I got a dud with the Orchid mask. I think I have another one; I'll use it for "R" week - R for re-do. 😃
@itsfi I can't recall what orchids smell like, but this mask smelled like rose and lilac combined
That sounds lovely @lmaster! I have orchids but I don't think they smell like anything. I just assumed (maybe hoped?) that the orchid face mask would have a subtle floral-ish scent to it and it sounds like it does.
@itsfi it does and I'm pretty sure youll Enjoy your redo 😊
The honey potion mask sounds great @itsfi!
I looove it @faeriegirl! 💖 I have several favorites but this one is one of the ones at the top of my favorites list. 😊
@itsfi Oooh, great masks! I need to try more Leaders from this line – this one sounds fantastic!
I still have sort of mixed feelings about the Honey Potion. I love the warming sensation and the awesome results, I'm just not so sure about the messy goopiness and stickiness of it. Being that the texture is the only thing holding be back, I'm sure I'll be buying the FS in the near future. 😂🤷♀️
@Shosh85, I don't know if they still do this but sometimes when Hautelook has a sale on Leaders products, they have a bundle/set with every mask in this particular line.
For the Honey Potion, is the goopiness/stickiness from getting it out of the jar to your face? Or the massaging it into your skin? Or both? The full size has a spatula that would help with the first ; with the samples I use a spatula that came with a moisturizer or eye cream I've used up.
@itsfi I just not sure I Ike the stickiness on my face.... even though I put my hair back when I use it, I still get a bunch of strands that stick to it! That really is the only issue I have, but love everything else about it – So I'll most likely order the FS once I'm out of samples. 😂🍯
@itsfiLove the honey potion... I have one waiting in my cart for the sale... two more weeks... two more weeks....
The countdown begins @missjeanie!! The honey potion is a great choice! Can't wait to see what else you pick up during the sale!
@itsfi I love the honey potion so much. I need to remember to pick this up during the Sephora sale.
Isn't it wonderful @PrettyPaint?! It's such a treat to use and I love how soft and smooth it makes my skin. The sale is a great time to pick up a full size! ❤️
@itsfi I’m gonna go ahead and stick one in my cart now so I’m ready. Maybe that will be added motivation not to make any purchases before the sale begins 🙂
Good idea @PrettyPaint! The sale is a couple of weeks away but there have been so many great new products coming out that it's hard to not be tempted! I'm excited to see what goodies you pick up during the sale.
Hee hee I love oldies but goodies, @itsfi, they never go out of style 🙂 I have a sample of that Bite and have never used it, time to get on that! Also, I am all for 'just in case' balms, love it:D
Yep, the oldies are still hits! Love 'em @eshoe! ❤️ I'm still trying to figure out what's a good ratio of tried-and-true masks and up-and-comers to use in a given week. My stash could easily get out of control with both. 😉
Funny you say that @itsfi. Yesterday I watched one of the Facetory videos, and they mentioned using no more than 3 function masks a week (brightening/detox/firming) and the remainder hydrating/moisturizing. I’ve never heard this, but this might help me when planning and introducing new masks🤔
That's interesting @eshoe. I don't know if I've thought about that breakdown before. I imagine hydrating masks make up 75-90% of my weekly masking, depending on the state of my skin and what I have going on that week, with the remainder being brightening and/or mud/exfoliating/detox masks. I sense an experiment in the works - a science project, if you will. ha! I'll try to be really good about keeping track of my mask usage for the next 4 weeks to see what my average/ratio is or hydrating vs. brightening vs. detox vs. anti-aging masks.
It kinda makes sense if you want to leave wiggle room for trying out new masks @itsfi. I don’t really pay much attention to what a mask claims to do, so it would be interesting to see what (if any) changes to my skin there would be if I was more intentional🤷🏻♀️
@eshoe, it seems like the longer I've been masking, the more intentional I am and the more attention I pay to a mask's claims & ingredients. 😊👍
