To Post:
Each week features a different theme, as well as a letter of the alphabet for coming up with new masking ideas. 

Please include the brand and name of the mask you are trying out, as well as a photo if possible. Any other details are greatly appreciated, including scent, if it's an exfoliating mask (include acid info if known), your overall experience, and whether or not you would repurchase. Don't forget to include a grade (thanks to @ShortErica for the idea) to help others along the way.

Most importantly, have fun and merry masking!

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

I love the scent too! That's always a plus, thank you sweets @mrsmouse 

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

I love this CS, @lmaster and I’m totally surprised you hadn’t tried it! Awesome that @mrsmouse sent it to you, it is so good👍🏼

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

@eshoe I sure have not tried this one before 🤦 but now I need to find more 😉

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

This is a good one @lmaster! I didn't realize it had all those ingredients. Makes sense that my skin would like it. lol. 😉

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

@itsfi I had never seen this one before! Definitely getting past the fear of certain ingredients 😂

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

@lmaster, reads like an excellent mask, even with the 3 could add up to stinky odor

ingredients.  Glad it smelled floralish! 

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

The scent was lovely! Could be strong for some, but I enjoyed it! @byme4u 

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

@lmaster  I’ve never seen this one!  The ingredients sound great and super moisturizing!  

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

@heartsmyface I hadn't seen this one either! It really was great despite the "gross" ingredients 😂

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

WoW @lmaster !!! I didn’t realize all the odd ingredients in this one! I actually have a few I haven’t tried yet. Will need to do it tonight when I get home! Great review!

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

@missjeanie the scent and benefits totally make up for the unique ingredients 😉

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

@lmaster  So happy it's a winner for you, and such a perfect one for this week! I really liked this one too and remember being really surprised at the variety of unique ingredients that's in it!..... that's probably why it's so good 😉

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

Totally agree! @Shosh85 this mask in all is very unique, another mask I have to keep my eyes peeled for 😆

The Creme Shop Cica-Mend Sheet Mask 🐯

Since I had it, I started out using the Cica-Mend Toner. It has a light, clean scent, a nice fine mist and it felt soothing and refreshing. The mask is thin-medium cotton that had a cute tiger design on it. It was so drenched with serum, I had to shake it a bit before placing. It had a pleasant clean and fresh kind of scent that was hardly noticeable while the mask was on. The fit was great and was only a little too long at the chin. It was comfortable to wear and the adherence was good, except for the extra length at the chin that didn't want to lay flat. I removed it after about a half hour. The serum and tackiness that was leftover absorbed within minutes. I placed a couple drops of the serum on afterward as the package suggests. It had the same type of clean and fresh scent the mask did and felt soothing going on. It did make my face tacky, but only for a few minutes. My face looked a little brighter and more even and my skin felt refreshed, hydrated and soft and smooth.

I'm really happy I decided to buy 2 boxes of these, because I'll definitely have no problem using them up!
