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:
It's been a hot minute since I've done some masking. I pretty much bailed on any and all attempts at anything other than a sleeping mask last week. I've been working my day job from 8:30-4:30 then going to my casual job at the brewery from 5 until between 8:30 and 2 am for the last week and will be doing the same this week as well so my free time is pretty much spent on sleep and showering.
I only had the one job today so I got some cyber shopping done and enjoyed the longest shower with a side of some masking!
You’ve been working so hard, @missjeanie! I hope you were able to enjoy your well-deserved shopping:) My favorite Sunday Fridays mask is that one. I’ve used it two nights in a row, too. The scent is soooo yummy!
You're working hard @missjeanie - definitely good to treat your skin and yourself. That mug from @SportyGirly125 is cute!
This was an amazing combo @ShortErica ! My skin is gone back to fairly dry and I know that it needed some good doses of moisturizing masks! Hopefully more tonight since I’ll be off earlier!
@missjeanie oh my gosh!! Working two jobs is so draining!! I feel for you, but sounds like you have drive and passion to get it done! Good job for being a strong woman!!
Usually my second job is reall sporadic. Some months I only have 2 shifts, this month has been crazy replacing staff that were let go. But new full timers are on the way! And extra $$ means I can cover all my Black Friday/cyber Monday stress shopping @lmaster lol!
Yes girl yes!! @missjeanie @ and dependable, you are a diamond 😉
I'm so happy to hear you were able to get in some "me" time for yourself! Agree that the SF masks isn't the grittiest scrub; it works best for me when I remove it with a washcloth and I was pleasantly surprised with how hydrating it was.
Oh my goodness, that unicorn mug is too cute @missjeanie! 🙂 So thoughtful of @SportyGirly125! 🙂
@itsfi @Im tempted to try the SF again tonight. I was so surprised at how much I liked it. I think washcloth will work much better than my hands.
Isn’t the mug adorable! It’s been my morning mug since I opened my gift. Makes me smile while wishing I was still in bed!
Thanks @missjeanie for mentioning it being on sale, was on my list to buy! Ordered!🤑
@sonnydee @It’s a great deal, but I don’t think I need a second lol, glad you snagged one!
Um....yeah....I'm going to add the summer Friday masks to my list of masks to buy...
Did I miss a summer Friday mask sale? Or are you just talking about the 20% off sale in November?
@l8totheparty @It’s on sale half off right now in the Sephora sale section!
Must be on the American site @missjeanie
Oh, yes @l8totheparty . I flip back and forth so much I often forget what I saw where on sale.
I’m glad you liked the Summer Fridays mask @missjeanie! I got one since it was on sale and now I’m even more excited to try it.
I think you will like this one @faeriegirl it smells so good!!
Was such an expected delight @faeriegirl ! I'll be looking to see how you like it once you test it out.
Today, after too many days of eating whatever and not drinking enough water or moving my body, I wanted to deep clean my skin to get it in a happy place.
I started off with my all time favorite, the ORIGINS - Clear Improvement® Active Charcoal Mask to Clear Pores. I’ll forever continue to buy this simple charcoal mask. It does a great job of making my skin feel clean without any sensitivity or acids (I just used Babyfacial yesterday and wanted to give my skin a break from chemical exfoliation.)
Then, I tried out a new sheet mask with handy mask holder. I didn’t have high hopes for the Sephora Collection Silver Mask simple because I’ve never really loved the Sephora brand masks. I also got this on sale for $4 which, honestly, is still more than I’d normally pay for a single mask. I probably needed to get over the $25 GWP threshold at some point, hah. ANYWAY, it wasn’t really wet with serum but smelled slightly floral. It adhered okay but I definitely needed the mask holder for daytime, upright, coffee drinkin’, masking session. I left it on for about 20 min and was surprised by how nice, plump, and even toned my skin looked afterward.
I would buy this again if it were cheaper or in a bulk box. But honestly, for the price it isn’t super special. I think the Sephora masks are more kitschy than anything but it was fine. There are a lot of TJ Maxx masks that’ll get you the same result 😉
@scott1201, that Origins masks is a good spot treatment for me. 🙂 For winter, I'm enjoying their version of this mask that includes honey in it.
@scott1201 I'm so glad you have a go to mask for a good deep cleaning!
