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!

Love that face holder mask @lmaster! 💗One of the more comfortable ones I’ve tried! 

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

Oh my gosh @itsfi I'm so thankful you tagged it for me!! It is sooooo comfortable

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

How funny @lmaster we were both putting our mask holders to good use this weekend! Hopefully the scent was at least somewhat tea-like but from your description, sounds more perfume-y:/

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

@eshoe I'm loving the mask holder! It really is perfect for my chin smooshing areas 😂 

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

@lmaster  Sounds like a nice one! Glad the mask holder is helping! 😃

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

Absolutely! @Shosh85 I'm so glad @itsfi tagged the mask holder a couple weeks ago,,I sure was looking for it and couldn't find it 😵 now it's happy endings 🙌

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

Last two masks of the week 😃D0232597-9F55-460C-A56B-D6BABBD93FBF.jpeg

Farmskin Superfood Salad Revitalizing Tomato Sheet Mask

This is a thin tencel sheet mask that was soaking with plenty of serum and had a clean and fresh kind of scent. The fit was good - just a little bit too long at the chin/jawline, and the eye holes were just slightly too small for my preference. I took it off after about 35 minutes. The serum leftover absorbed very quick and the tackiness from it lasted for only about 10 minutes. My face felt refreshed, hydrated and soft and smooth.

So far these salad masks have so great! Can't wait to try all the others!

Tony Moly Pureness 100 Caviar Sheet Mask

This is a thin-medium, sort of meshy/gauzy cotton sheet mask. It was soaking with serum and had scent That's kinda hard to describe - sort of clean and fresh mixed with a little floral. It smelled a bit strong at first but faded a little after placing the mask. The fit was pretty good- just about and too long at the chin. After making adjustments it adhered well and comfortable to wear. I left it on for about a half-hour. The serum leftover was slightly tacky, but it all absorbed within 5-10 minutes. My face looked slightly brighter and my skin felt soft and smooth and nicely hydrated

I enjoyed this one and would definitely use again! I'd repurchase as well, but would be further down on my list of mask purchases and not one I'd immediately run out to get more.

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

Those salad sheet masks sure are good @Shosh85! 🥗🤩🥰 

 

I completely understand what you mean when you describe the scent of the caviar mask as sorta clean, fresh and florally! 😂

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

@itsfi  I'll be slowly trying out the whole line of salad masks, because I've definitely liked the ones I've tried so far! Glad to hear you've enjoyed them as well!

I wasn't really sure what kind of scent to expect on a caviar mask, 😂 but it turned out fine. 😃

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

It's great that you will be keeping up with these masks - salad is good for us after all, right @Shosh85?!!  Heehee! 🙂

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

I have a couple of the Farmskin masks I need to try @Shosh85, this is one of them. It sounds very nice, I will just make sure to have my scissors nearby for the eye holes. Seems like that TM mask has been reviewed here before too, with great results as well!

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

@eshoe  These both were definitely great masks! I've never heard anything bad about any of the salad masks yet, and so far I've liked all the ones I've tried! 🍅

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

@Shosh85 another great salad mask 😊 so glad you are loving them! The tonymoly mask sounds pretty nice! 

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

@lmaster These were both great! I'm definitely looking forward to trying out the other salad masks! 😃🥗

RE: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

Thanks for all the advice on here!!!! I’m so excited to start my face game!😬🤗👅

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

what the heck.  My last post is missing.  

Gross = placenta

 

the mask is a thick black mask with a slimey serum that smells like bergamont tea.  It was super moisturizing and is on my repurchase list.  A+++ 

the lip essence is more of a treatment and absorbs well into tee lips making them feel very plump and healthy.  Also an A++

I’ve just begun the placenta supplements so i’ll be a while before reviewing them. 1BD35D05-B1AE-47AB-82C5-78C5A452A57A.jpeg

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

All the placenta talk has me trying to remember... I feel like I read somewhere that some women keep their placenta and cook it into a meal to fortify the mother after birth?  I might be making this up.  @heartsmyface were all your placenta products plant derived? Cow? Pig? 

Re: 2019 Q4 Mask of the Week Challenge!

@missjeanie  I’ve read that too .  I’m not sure I,dhave the fortitude to make my own capsules.  It’s easier to stomach if things come ready made.  The suppléants are pig derived.  I have to do a little research on the mask and lip essence.
