NEW!!! Got an idea for next year's challenge? Let me know! Was there a challenge you'd rather not repeat? Share below, so we can start building the 2021 schedule:
Hahaha @lmaster! I have much love for the avocado! ๐๐๐ฅ
Trying to get back into a bit of a masking routine after being so spastic with my skin care!
Monday - I Dew Care: Pure to the Pore, Cleansing Volcanic Ash Clay Mask - I used this one because I wanted to empty the container. I figured there are no volcanos that I know of in Canada, so it was likely from a far away place. I don't mind this clay mask, I'd use it again, but it's not so great that I'd re-purchase, there are too many other masks to try out there. I did this mask pre shower and rinsed off in shower for easy cleaning.
I followed that evening with the Pacifica Sea Algae Anti Pollution Gel Mask. This mask is an easy one that I can toss on for 5, 10, 60 minutes and then rinse off. It's very forgiving on the timelines which is something that I'm horrible at, so it's a win in that department. It's a very gentle mask and my face feels a bit softer after, so again, I'll keep using it, but likely wouldn't re-purchase, simply due to how many masks I have and still want to buy. I'm also kinda skeptical about the anti pollution claims.
Tuesday evening I gave the PTR Firmx Peeling Gel another go. It's another one that I'm skeptical about, how much of my 'dead skin' is rolling off, and how much is just the product balling up? Either way, my skin was again markedly softer after using, so I'm going to keep using it and see if I get a better feel for the product and my opinion on it.
Wednesday I went for the PTR Rose Stem Cell mask. I've used this as a mask a few times, but tend to prefer it as a sleeping mask, I think it just has more time to sink in all the good stuff this way. I went for a good 45 minutes on this mask and then set it on my bed side table to use as a sleeping mask this week.
Thursday was the Peach Slices Mango Peace Popsicle sheet mask from @eshoe in this months unicorn mail. I've seen these masks pop up on here a few times and was more than excited to give it a shot. It had a super light mango ish scent to it, was easy to apply with only snips around my eyes (standard for me with 95% of the sheet masks I use). I had it on for a good 35 minutes and could have gone a bit longer. The extra serum in the packet went onto my legs and elbows! I went straight to bed so I didn't get a good look at my skin, but there was minimal tackiness and my skin looked good the next morning! I'd use this one again!
Friday & Saturday were working days that only got a sleeping mask. The Origins Drink UP Intensive claims to have Swiss Glacier water. I'll call that a far away place. I use this as a sleeping max on the nights I wasn't using the PTR Rose mask. I feel like it has an iced tea scent to it that I love. This is an easy mask to use overnight. I'd buy it again. No reactions, and moisturized skin in the am. Exactly what I want a sleeping mask to do.
Sunday- I used the Summer Fridays Overtime mask after seeing eshoe use the R&R and figuring that the pumpkin scent qualified as a P mask. I like that I got a good exfoliation in with this one, I enjoy the scrubbiness of it. The scent is a huge win for me as well. I'm going to pick up the trio for the holidays even though I already have the Overtime in a full size. This is one of my favourite masks.
@missjeanie I'm ready for duel week and plan to compare the PTR with the Holika Holika egg - I'll let you know how it goes!
Just picked up an egg @ShortErica ! Great duel idea!
lol... I'm sure trying to get back into it @eshoe ! I need to delete so many from my camera role on my phone.
Time for a fresh start, eh @missjeanie ๐
@missjeanie Nice job gettin' back into the swing of things! Looks like a lot of great masks! The Origins Drink Up and the Overtime mask are two of my most favorites! Happy to hear you liked them too! ๐
Also, I'm jealous you picked up a mango scent from the Peach Slices mask - I sniffed and sniffed and only got a fresh and clean kind of smell - maybe I got dud ๐ค Glad yours turned out a little better than mine ๐ฅญ๐
The scent on the Drink Up is a winner in my eyes @Shosh85 ! And the Summer Friday's is a new go to.
This looks like a nice selection of masks to help ease back into the ol' masking routine, @missjeanie. I just picked up that Summer Fridays set and can't wait to try out the Overtime one!
Oh I'll be looking to grab that trio too @quspork , such a nice mask I assume I'll love them all!
Nice masking @missjeanie ! I chuckled about the volcanos in canada ๐
I had to find a way to make it fit the theme @CC3616 . lol... I haven't seen any here yet!
Thanks @lmaster !! Glad to be back!
You jumped all In getting back into a masking routine @missjeanie! Woohoo! ๐๐ผ Always so good to see and hear from you! What a fun lineup of masks for masking daily. ๐๐ผ
Wow. That was a longer post than intended.
Iโm very behind on my postings but I wanted to showcase two really good, and new!, masks Iโve used recently.
Facetory
Iโve has really good luck with all the Facetory brand masks Iโve tried and this one was great, too! My skin seems to really respond well to squalene! The scent was very medicinal with a lot of tea tree. Kind of icy hot? Nonetheless, this one made my skin feel relieved and refreshed. Iโm looking forward to trying more from this clean Facetory line.
Dewytree
i fell in love with this mask a couple months ago but, better late than never with the review, right? The mask itself is green, even when itโs completely dry! I honestly donโt know what it is about this mask but the day after I use it, my skin is NEW and happy and bouncy. I found this via Facetory, also, and purchased a bunch from their marketplace. No crazy scent, no weird feelings, just happy skin when using this one.
