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:
@mazzkm @I’ll have to try this one out again, I don’t recall the scent. But I do know i lové most Dr. Jart products and have a few of these socked away!
@mazzkm Glad to hear this one turned out so great! There are times a mask has good enough results that I can look past the scent - I'm happy this was one of those for you!
I got the thyme or rosemary scent, but it was so over powering to me that I find I rarely reach for this one @mazzkm. I'm glad you got good results though. If I remember correctly I liked the results as well; I just had a hard time with how strong the fragrance was.
I'm sorry the scent wasn't working out for you on this one, @mazzkm. I can't remember if I noticed much of a scent on the last one of these I used, but now I'm curious to re-try it and see what is noticeable!
@mazzkm seems tolerable enough to enjoy the benefits. 🙂
Yes definitely! I would buy it again, more so just a weird smell... hahah
A bad scent can really ruin an otherwise good mask. Sorry about the smell @mazzkm but glad it soothed your skin.
I'm with you @mazzkm I don't care much for a herbal scent, but it's still doable
@mazzkm, I agree; this mask is a nice one for soothing skin or calming redness. I don’t recall the scent on this one; too bad it was off putting for you.
This is a nice mask, @mazzkm - I think I have it, too! Have you tried the Ceramidin one? I found that to be even more moisturizing than this one.
I haven’t tried the Ceremidin Mask yet, but I have a whole tube of the moisturizer. Unfortunately it causes me to breakout! The worst part is that I actually love the moisturizer, it is amazing for getting rid of dry patches and soothing sensitive skin. Haha now I just keep it for emergencies 😂
Oooh, that looks like a great mask to combat Canadian winters, @mazzkm!
Holy Snails!! 🐌🐌
Snails from head to toe! 🐌 Woo-whee! 🙌🏼 The only thing missing was a snail mucin based lip balm. 😳 I know, I initially cringed a bit at the thought as well. Alas, not a part of this snail themed masking sesh, but it doesn't mean it won't be part of a future masking session, especially as I've found one. 😉 It may or may not be en route ... 🤷🏻♀️
I've used the La'Dor Keratin Power Glue before and liked it a lot; it'll be a repurchase once I've made a dent in all my hair masks which means it probably won't be something I pick up this year. Hahaha! 😂 Yeah, I have a lot of hair mask; shocking isn't it?! 😲😆 I'm in the same situation with the hand and foot masks. Once I get through the ones currently in my stash, I'd be happy to pick up more of the It's Skin Prestige Gold Foil Hand Masque D'Escargot and the TonyMoly Intense Care Snail Foot Mask. As for the face and eye masks ...
It's Skin Prestige Essence Masque D'Escargot and It's Skin Prestige Eye Masque EX D'Escargot
@itsfi should have known you would go all out with a snail theme. love that you just go for it. the sheet mask eye gel looks good; I'll have to see about finding it.
My snail mask guru you are @itsfi ! I remember you introducing me to them last year and I instantly fell in love. I’m super curious about the snail mucin lip balm!! A little grossed out.... but I’m not saying it would stop me if you gave it a decent review either!! Lol, please let us know what you think!
@itsfi Gotta love a snail masking session! You gave me that It's Skin face/eye mask duo and I LOVED it! Glad to hear they'll be a repurchase for you! 🐌🙌 Oh, and I'd totally try out out some snail balm! Have you seen it before?
The duo pack is very good @Shosh85! 💖 It’s got me wondering whether the face mask and under eye gels that It’s Skin carries in its D’escargot line is the same as the ones in this duo pack just packaged separately. Hmmm... 🤔 I think I may have found myself something new to look into. 😉
How would you compare the TM foot mask to say the Sephora brand masks, @itsfi? I love a good moisturizing foot mask but haven't tried these yet. Also- while it may sound totally weird, I might be down for trying a snail-based lip balm LOL.
@quspork, the final results are the same from these snail foot masks and the ones from Sephora - my feet feel soft and moisturized. But I noticed that after removing the mask, these snail ones felt stickier when I massaged the essence that remained into my feet. It’s fine with me because I put on a pair of socks over my feet after these masks before going to bed but there is more of a sticky / tacky feel to these snail ones that I don’t recall having with any version of the Sephora Collection foot masks.
Good to know, @itsfi. I'm thinking the stickiness wouldn't be too bad for me since, like you, I tend to go the sock route after a nice foot mask. I'll have to look into these- thanks!
@itsfi wow that's a lot of snail masks. They all sound so lovely
