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: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge!

A pack of 35 @WinglessOne that’s a serious commitment 🤭 Nice work finding a mask that meets your needs. And also, I will need to try that Peripera it looks perfect for summertime  🍓 !

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge!

@Shosh85  @heartsmyface  @lmaster  I haven’t had a big problem with RoseRoseShop yet. I don’t get shipping notification emails from them and they can take a long time to ship, so package arrival time is always a total mystery. 😄 That’s not a big problem for me since I live in a building with a secure package room, where folks are far less inclined to steal other people’s packages. It’s just annoying. I can see how it’d be a serious issue for folks who live in detached homes where porches are monitored by package thieves. 

 

A friend had lots of items dropped from her order without any notice, and her experience with RoseRoseShop’s customer service was bad enough for her to vow never to shop with them again. That seems to be a common complaint about them, so... hopefully I won’t have major issues with getting refunds for missing items. Hopefully no one here will, either. 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge!

When was the last time you placed an order with the RoseRoseShop @WinglessOne? I placed an order the day we were discussing it and so far so good - they have sent me an order confirmation, then another email saying it was being processed, then another email telling me it was shipped and they included a tracking number. Now we'll just see if I get everything I ordered ....... 
@lmaster @heartsmyface 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge!

@Shosh85  Yay, I’m glad you’re getting good communication from them! 

 

My last order was last month. I got all my ordered items, hooray! I just didn’t get any notifications beyond “your order status has changed to ‘processing’” from them, which didn’t surprise me since I’d never gotten more than that before. (No, their emails aren’t getting spam-filtered; I pay for web/mail hosting and have had admin access to both for years. I can set domain-wide or address-specific spam filters on the server. RoseRoseShop is already whitelisted.) Maybe—hopefully—they’ve stepped up their communication game since then. 

 

Some people complain about the way RoseRoseShop calculates shipping charges. I don’t because I can see they don’t inflate product prices to cover “free” shipping. Usually I go out of my way to avoid paying for shipping, which is a strange psychological tick so many people have nowadays; we’re so used to getting free shipping offers, we expect it from everyone and will pad orders to meet a free shipping minimum $ amount. 🤣 Anyway, I don’t mind paying for RRS shipping since their product prices are usually so low. As long as I never have a super frustrating experience with them, I’ll probably keep ordering from them. 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge!

@WinglessOne  I normally try and avoid shipping costs as well, but as you said, the masks are super cheap so it kind of evens out. I was going to buy 3 masks from the bioBELLE website but they wanted $7 for shipping! The RoseRoseShop charged me $7 for 8 masks, which made the masks come out to about $1.50 each. 👍😃 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge!

Keep us posted please @Shosh85 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge!

Yeah @WinglessOne I sorta knew the feeling with yesstlye, they do send a shipping,, however, many times ive ordered, they've cancelled certain masks for being OOS and shipping can take forever!!

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge!

@lmaster  YesStyle drives me a little nuts sometimes. 😄 But at least when they’ve dropped OOS items from my orders, they’ve emailed me to let me know. Or sometimes, if it’s taking them a long time to fulfill an item, they’ll ask if I want to keep the item in my order and wait longer to get it or cancel the item (with a refund) and get the rest of my order faster. I appreciate that, so I keep shopping with them. I do wish shipping was faster though. 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge!

Yes, they do @WinglessOne I agree just a little inconvenience with oos items, but they do communicate very well!

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge!

@WinglessOne   That doesn’t sound too too bad. I forget I’ve made orders all the time - especially with things like sheet masks.  If it’s limited edition makeup or something that’s been hyped I don’t ever forget though and definitely want to track it. I’m usually good with just an order confirmation number otherwise.  We’re fairly off the beaten path and haven’t had problems with package thieves to date.  Hopefully it stays that way.  

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge!

@WinglessOne   The tok tok packaging is wonderful!   What happened with Roseroseshop? 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge!

Can I ask, why you are iffy about ordering from roserose? @WinglessOne 

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge!

You have all my attention on the tok tok @WinglessOne looks very refreshing!!

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge!

@WinglessOne 

So happy to hear this mask is in the 90's for you - it sounds great! I have this plus 4 others from the line I still need to try. I'm hoping the others are just as good! 😃

Just curious, did you have a bad experience with the RoseRoseShop?

2020 Mask of the Week Challenge!

N for new to me [I had FOMO], M for melon, & I did task while I masked so all 3 for checked off tonight. Fit was typical. Can't decide which melon though..honeydew?👃 it did have a good amount of serum but I do wish it had a lil bit more for my shoulders-i choose this because it says it helps soothe irritated & sun-exposed skin. Which I have currently have, trying to keep it fun & normal for the kids. It did such a wonderful job, I already placed a order for another set. Hope I get them to share with at least 1 box for motm. They definitely are on the always have on hand list🤗💚💚💚💚💚💚

Re: 2020 Mask of the Week Challenge!

@sonnydee This one sounds really good. And kudos to you, for keeping a home running in the right direction 🤗
