I gathered a lighter and more citrusy scent @itsfi. I have one more to test out, I will pay special attention to it the next time. @l8totheparty
@l8totheparty What a nice duo! That Bliss is one of my favorite bubble masks - I definitely prefer this type over the sheet type.
Glad you enjoyed the Guacamole mask! So far this line seems to be turning out great!
This is the first bubble mask I've used! 😊 @Shosh85
Next on the LookAtMe line up is Aloe Vera
Look At Me Aloe Vera Sheet Mask
This is a thin tencel sheet mask that was soaking in a slimy gel-type of serum and had a pleasant and light Aloe scent that was barely noticeable while the mask was on. The fit was okay - it was a little too long at the chin. I kept it on for about 35 minutes. When I removed it the serum leftover was a little sticky, but absorbed in only a matter of minutes. My face felt refreshed and soothed and the redness I had faded quite a bit. My skin felt nicely hydrated, soft & smooth and had a bit of a glow.
I really enjoyed this one! It does what
it says it's supposed to do - calm and soothe. These will definitely come in handy after a hot and sunny day
This sounds like a great mask @Shosh85 ! I always use a soothing mask after a peel, and it seems like this would be a great one to pick up for that purpose. 🙂
@mrsmouse I think Aloe is definitely great for after a peel! I'd love to experiment with that and see how well this mask does! 👍😉
Sounds like a great one @Shosh85, and so glad it does what it claims. Can't wait to try it.
@PrettyPaint It's always nice to have a calming and soothing mask on hand 😃👍
@lmaster We're still having some hot days over here, but there are a lot of other reasons your skin may need some calming and soothing 😉
These LookAtMe masks sound like they are performing really well across the line @Shosh85! 😍 Love that this aloe one is made of Tencel - the combination of the thin, second skin Tencel and soothing aloe sounds like such a soothing comfortable treat for the skin! 💚
@itsfi It was a nice one! 😃 I wouldn't say it's my most favorite aloe mask, but it's fantastic for the price and does what it's supposed to, so I can't really complain 😉
This sounds like a very soothing mask @Shosh85, curious what your rating will be once you’ve tried them all😉
@eshoe These have all been nice so far - haven't run into one I don't like. 👌😃 I will be doing a little comparison after I finish them all 👍😉
On Monday for "L" week I tried the Lookatme Charcoal mask, gifted to me by @faeriegirl. Thank you again (and spoiler alert, I loved it!). I hadn't tried a charcoal sheet mask before (you can see the photo below of the black fabric) and had only tried wash off charcoal masks, so I wasn't entirely sure what to expect. I chose to do this lookatme mask first because I felt like I might have a blemish popping up and could use some purifying action.
First off, the fit was really great. For most all sheet masks, I feel like my vision is at least somewhat impaired, but this was definitely one of the more comfortable masks that I've use. It fit nice and close to my face and there was no need to do any snipping or mask surgery. I left it on for 20 minutes, though I think I could have definitely kept it on longer. The smell was pleasant (clean, fresh, a bit soapy). I felt a little bit of tingling while I was wearing it, but in a good way (like it's doing it's job).
After removing it, there was still some excess serum to tap in. Happily, I didn't notice any tackiness or stickiness; my face felt soft and refreshed. It definitely wasn't drying at all - my face felt nice and hydrated. I would definitely use this one again.
It sounds like a great mask @PrettyPaint ! I have some of these that I have yet to get around to trying, but I am definitely looking forward to it now. 🙂
@mrsmouse I hope you like them too - can't wait to hear what you think!
@lmaster Definitely a good first impression! 🙂 And I'm pretty excited about charcoal sheet masks in general now! 🙂
So happy to hear that this worked out so well for you @PrettyPaint! My experience with black charcoal sheet masks have been excellent. When I first started using them, I found myself constantly remarking aloud and here that they adhere and hug the contours of my face so well. 😍 I didn’t know about all the different types of sheet mask material out there until BIC and the masking thread, but black charcoal sheet masks are definitely one of my favorite discoveries.
@itsfi I was very amazed at the fit, especially because I have so much trouble with mask fit in general. Do you have any black charcoal sheet masks favorites you can recommend? I definitely want to try some more.
