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:
Thank you @itsfi, I was relieved to see I won’t be running out of my Cushion Complexion anytime soon☺️
I’m not sure how they restructured or reorganized but I’m glad that they seem to be back @eshoe. Is the cushion complexion the one that comes in the pen / wand?
Yes, @itsfi it is. I have always had at least two backups on hand, as I go through one every few months. It’s my faithful foundation and perfect for when I am too tired/don’t have time for a full face. And what I always use when I am testing new combos of skincare/primers as it seems to work with most formulations.
It seems prices were cut in half when they went to Target as well, so a double win for me!
@itsfi Oh, thank you for the heads up! I love their three-step mask.... if only it wasn't $12 😬😃
Yeah @Shosh85, the price is in the higher end; there’s 2 masks in the pack which is better but $6 per mask is still on the high side. If you have or get one of those $5 off coupons/cards, the price is more palatable.
Not on weekly topic but trying to get through a few masks: Check your product expiration dates!
That is an excellent theme @eshoe @l8totheparty ..... As I'm eating a caramilk 🤤😋😆
Great reminder and suggestion @l8totheparty, @ShortErica - I changed the first week of the challenge to a Clean out your Stash so start digging through them! I did this a couple of weeks ago and sadly had to toss a couple. Not gonna happen again😉
What a great week theme idea! @eshoe
You're a smart cookie @l8totheparty! I'm pulling all my 2020 masks and putting them at the front of my stash so I used them before they expire. I think my count was 32 so that's totally doable. @eshoe do we have that as a theme? Use your masks before they expire. Hahaha. I have a feeling many of us have a stockpile that we should look through like @l8totheparty suggested.
@l8totheparty glad you liked it! and I really do need to check my sheet masks for expiration! TBH I never even thought about it !
@l8totheparty Happy to hear it turned out nice for you! This and the blueberry one are definitely my favorites from the line 😃
Yes, the blueberry ones I have have an expiry date of January! I better get on using them up for best freshness. @Shosh85
😊
I remember these showing up on BIC this year @l8totheparty they get a lot of love. I tried a few things from the brand and I think the masks were a highlight!
Wrapping up Last week's holiday party getting ready theme
This year, I feel like I have discovered how much my skin really loves honey masks!
The Fresh glow powder sounds great @Kim888
Looks like you picked a nice combination @Kim888 - a little glow here, a little hydration there. Definitely sounds holiday prepped to me!
@Kim888 Love the Oozoo and Fresh! I agree the Fresh is a bit drying, but it definitely smells great! I'm happy you had a nice masking session! 😃
Oh it's so good to hear a review on the Milk eye masks @Kim888, I've been enjoying a few things from the brand this year and have given these a look a few times, but just never pulled the trigger.
I agree with you on the honey masks, @Kim888. I've tried a couple Etude House masks and really liked them, I will have to check and see if I have this one.
I can't seem to remember what day it is but I know it's Y week. LOL!
I’m excited for this week’s masking. I’ve seen some folks use multiple products from the same brand and have always thought that’d be cool to do and I got to do that this week with a few Yadah things. The Yadah nose strips and spot cream was something one of my friends picked up a pack of and shared it with a group of us. I've been using the spot cream all week and I'm not so sure about it. I don't know if it's doing anything; I mean, I haven't broken out so that's good, but I'm not sure my spots have gotten any better either. The nose strip is also iffy - my nose can't be that clean so I don't think it's very powerful at sucking out all the gunk in my nose.
Back to the sheet mask – it’s a very pretty shade of red, very festive for the holidays. I’ve never tried a foil mask so that was fun too. It’s a pretty good mask; it was fun to walk around with it and my skin felt very hydrated afterwards.
Y is also for yowza!! this week. I got a huuuuuge box in the mail from @itsfi She offered to send me "a few" green tea masks she thought I might like. It was very sweet of her to remember that I love green tea … well, green tea anything but green tea skin products and masks. I was blown away by her offering to send some to me; then I was blown away even more like 100 times more when I saw what she sent – a handful of green tea sheet masks that I’ve never tried before - brands I've seen some of you gals use and others I've never heard of before and a 10-pack of the Innisfree green tea masks which are my favorites. She also sent some masks for my friends and then some just to add to our communal mask bowl – OMG, so nice!! I can't even thank you enough, itsfi. It was so nice of you; we're all totallly blown away. One of my friends asked "how do you know her? she's like a real life santa, or Mrs Claus... or Ms Claus..." One of the masks itsfi sent was the foil mask. Thank you so much for everything.
