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:
@lmaster Sounds fairly decent. And usually I'm not ready for Christmas this early in the year, but that packaging is making me excited for it.
@PrettyPaint I'm fairly certain my older masks are getting a bit less saturated with serum, but definitely a decent mask
I think there were 4 or 5 different versions in this holiday sweet last year @Weetart they all are so cute
What a great pick for your first Fresh mask, @l8totheparty! They make so many good ones๐
I like using the Fresh mask as an overnight mask @l8totheparty. Completely agree with the smaller container; most, if not all of my Fresh masks are deluxe samples and it still takes me a while to get through them.
That was the first go with the Fresh mask, @itsfi . I will have to remember to try it overnight one of the next times!
@l8totheparty I really loved that Fresh mask! The texture and cooling feeling is so nice! Glad you enjoyed both of these! ๐๐
I liked that mask so much that I purchased the full size during F&F @l8totheparty .
Sorry I didnโt explain myself @l8totheparty. FRESH - Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask
Both of these look quite nice @l8totheparty. Anything that has a hydrating effect sounds super appealing right now (my skin is already dehydrated from the cold - such a bummer considering it's not even winter yet).
I think I might have just found a sample of this mask that Iโd forgotten about @l8totheparty , Iโll have to check which it was when get home. Soft skin sounds like a great effect!
They do make decent filler masks @Weetart. I havenโt seen these around but making a mental note to pass up if I do๐
@Weetart I've tried a few Mitomo masks and they've all been pretty much filler type masks, which can be good to have on hand! ๐
Pretty cool looking packaging @Weetart
S is for Sephora Socks!
These are the holiday almond foot masks. And a close up of the cute little penguins on them. I love these foot socks! Now if only they made some that peel.
The penguin theme is adorable @Samtian, love these socks for stocking stuffers! I personally do not care for exfoliation on my feet via masks but mine is not a popular preference around here๐I just find them too stressful ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
The penguins on those socks are so cute! <333
