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!

@heartsmyface  Mmmm, I love grape scented masks! This one sounds great! It's too bad you won't be able to pick some more up for awhile, but I guess shopping your stash isn't such a bad thing - something I need to work on too! 😉

[heartsmyface]

@Shosh85   I’ve been saying I need to shop my stash for years so this is a good thing.  I don’t like that it’s being forced but hey, maybe we can get the mask hoarding under control and perhaps halved by Christmas?  🤞😁

[itsfi]

@heartsmyface, making a note to look for this mask after I get through some more masks and when the local boutiques reopen. Does your GR watermelon balm / scrub have a lot of scrubby granules in it? Mine seems more like a balm because it doesn't have much of the granules for any exfoliation.

Good to see you hearts! Hope you and the fam are doing well. Miss you! 🤗

[heartsmyface]

@itsfi   It’s slightly gritty upon application but not to the point I feel any heavy exfoliation.  It hasn’t replaced sugar scrubs or anything.  I think I might actually prefer it if they omitted the granules.

G for Gold, \"white Gold\" This stuff is sooooo thick! but does surprisingly soak in well & fast. I did have to bump the bottle on the countertop to get the thickness to drop. 😜 Theres enough in the packet for a good 2-3 masks, so i wanted to move the rest to a bottle to refrigerate. Leaving it on overnight so will update tomorrow. Next Morning Update: you do rinse it off in the morning, which i did with ease. Fit? its a thick cream Smell? its really nice! its familiar but cant place it? maybe sheet mask scent in cream form🤔 Consistency? soaks in good, without tack. You won't stick to your pillow or blankets WHICH is a huge plus for me! Ease of use? ok, no issues Would I  purchase/try again? it delivered on its promises. Yesterday was hot! and my face is feels restored & nourished. Happy to have more🤗

[lmaster]

Yes!! I'm in love with this mask @sonnydee 

[sonnydee]

It was a good performing mask @lmaster it just sounds gross!😬

[heartsmyface]

@sonnydee   As much as I dislike the wording ‘donkey milk’ I have had nothing but good experiences with Products containing donkey milk.  I need to put this one on ‘the list’. 

[sonnydee]

It just sounds so  gross! I kept passing up on it...maybe next time....but im glad now, i gave it a try @heartsmyface ah! "the list" ...ever growing & multiplying 😜

[quspork]

Ohh, I love the Soo'Ae Donkey Milk Sheet Masks so I'm very excited to see how the sleeping mask version works out for you, @sonnydee!

[sonnydee]

It performed really well. I think i have the sheet masks too @quspork I bet they are especially perfect for wintertime

[Shosh85]

@sonnydee  I've only heard positive reviews on this one! It definitely sounds like something my dry skin would like! Happy to hear you enjoyed it and it's great there's more for you to enjoy later! 👍😃

[sonnydee]

I think your dry skin would love this one for any season @Shosh85 but yet ok enough for me to use with my oily skin as well. 🤗

[itsfi]

This one sounds good @sonnydee! Love that there's enough in the packet for more masking. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on how it performed overnight.

[sonnydee]

Updated the post with my overnight thoughts @itsfi. happy to have used it. It was hanging out in my stash for far too long

[itsfi]

@sonnydee, I’m sure I have a “few” masks that have been “hanging out in my stash for far too long” as well. But, you know, just a few. 😂 

[sonnydee]

What?! Us?! No. 😉😁 @itsfi 

[emaisgr8]

🤣🤣🤣 @sonnydee

This is one of my favorites thanks to @ShortErica thin white sheet, clear serum, scent is fresh fit could be a little better in the eye area.
Here's some info from the Leaders dot com site 

 

 i love how my skin feels so hydrated and nourished after using this mask. There will always be one in my stash

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  I really liked this one too! It's definitely great for dry skin! 😃 I think the only thing I didn't like about it was the scent - I picked up more of a floral smell, and floral is just not my favorite.
