Thank you @Aaliaa for starting this thread, and giving us a place to share our love for masks💗

Lol yes @Loretta55 @I tried hunting it down after I used it and discovered the same thing, @Loretta55 @ShortErica @Shosh85. All the good ones are discontinued much too soon😕

[ShortErica]

😭 @eshoe but I appreciate the information. Sometimes I feel like I should limit myself to masks that have been around forever just to not have them discontinued but then there's always the possibility of a reformulation to break my heart.

[eshoe]

@ShortErica sadly it’s not just masks. I guess this is the result of a consumer culture. I just learned my beloved Youth To The People Superfood Air-Whip Lightweight Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid 2 oz / 59 mL has been reformulated😕 If it isn’t discontinued it’s altered. Why mess with a good thing? Maybe it is limited to the trendier companies, as it seems like some products have been around forever! @Loretta55 @Shosh85 

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  What?! I love that moisturizer! I literally just finished my last jar of it! I'll be curious to find out what they changed 🤔

[eshoe]

@Shosh85 @ShortErica I messaged the brand and this is what I was told:

”Thank you so much for reaching out! I was able to confirm with our Cosmetic Chemist that our Superfood Air-whip Cream was not updated or reformulated.If you have any question or concerns please let us know, we'd be more than happy to help!”

I shared it with @WinglessOne ; as it leaves me a little confused!

[ShortErica]

Do we need @Shosh85 to get to the bottom of it? I remember she was finally successful with customer service for oh, what brand was it? I'd take a picture of the two ingredient lists and reply back @eshoe. I'm guessing @WinglessOne or someone has the proof that it is different.

[eshoe]

I’ve already sent the photos and am waiting to hear back, @ShortErica @WinglessOne. This response might take a little longer, I suspect.

[ShortErica]

I'm invested in seeing what they say so thanks for the tag @eshoe. 🤞 they respond quickly and have some info about it

[ShortErica]

I saw @WinglessOne post about this @eshoe. I'm so sad for you and everyone else who loved it. Boo!

[eshoe]

@ShortErica if all goes well, only the scent has changed. If the formula has changed in how it reacts with other products ina skincare routine; that’s another story😞

[PrettyPaint]

@ShortErica  That Miss Spa chocolate mask is super yummy smelling. I do recall it being pretty messy, so the makeup eraser is a great idea.

[ShortErica]

That's exactly it @PrettyPaint. I was wondering as I copied my notes over why a B+ and now I remember wishing it was easier to get out of the packet and onto my face. The makeup eraser tip from @lmaster has been a real gem!

[Weetart]

P for prevention.... Murad Clarifying Mask is a sulfur mask that I enjoy. 10 minutes is all you need, and yes it does smells like sulfur, but not in a way that makes my eyes water. A weeeeee little bit goes a very long way. So the full price $40 USD isn’t bad, and it does go on sale. I recommend it. 

 

 

[Shosh85]

@Weetart  Happy to hear this one's effective for you! I know I've seen a lot of this brand at TJ Maxx - I wonder if this will make it there eventually 😉

[lmaster]

Very interesting @Weetart I've never seen this one!

[PrettyPaint]

Glad to hear this is a good one! @Weetart 

[ShortErica]

Looks nice @Weetart and who doesn't love products that you can get on sale!

[Shosh85]

P is for Peripera

Peripera Juice Time Lemon Mask

This mask is thin and drenched with a gel serum, which also made it pretty difficult to unfold because it was just a slippery blob at the bottom of the package. It had a super light lemon scent that I had to actually stick my nose up to the package to smell, and was unnoticeable once the mask was on. It had a great fit – just a little long at the chin. It adhered well and was comfortable to wear the 30 minutes I had it on. I patted in the little bit of serum leftover, that was just very slightly tacky – but it all absorbed quickly. My face looked a little brighter and my skin felt soft and had a nice glow.

So far there hasn't been a mask from either the Juice Time or Smoothie Time line that I haven't liked! This isn't my most favorite from the line, but I definitely wouldn't hesitate using again!

[lmaster]

Add long as it's not cleaning products version of lemon it sounds great @Shosh85 

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  Nope, no lemon cleaner scent here. I'm definitely not a fan of the citrus cleaner scented masks 😐

[ShortErica]

This mask sounds pleasant @Shosh85. I'm generally a fan of those light scented masks. Interesting it has retinol in it. I feel like I don't see that in masks as much or maybe I just need to keep expanding my masking horizon. 😉
