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

Welcome, @Leeckevi! Is there a particular mask that you like most? Or one you would recommend for targeting a specific concern? We would love to hear all about it 👍🏼

E is for e.l.f. JellyPop Watermelon Glitter Face Mask

I really like this one. It’s this gorgeous pink creamy mask. It smells sweet and as I put it around my mouth a sweet taste came through.

This is a hydration, plumping mask.

I left it on for 15 minutes. I had no reaction to it. It is removed after 15 minutes with warm water.

My face was soft, smooth, plumped and bright. I think this was a special offer as I don’t see it offered on their website now.

This is one I would repurchase.

@Cissy63, this sounds lovely. I’ve seen this mask (and other items from this collection) from time to time at TJ Maxx / Marshalls. @eshoe

itsfi · ‎02-15-2023

@Cissy63 @eshoe, it’s currently available directly from elf, and on sale too.

Cissy63 · ‎02-15-2023

@itsfi Oh you found it on the website 😃😃😃. You are a better searcher than me 😉😉

itsfi · ‎02-15-2023

Nahhhh @Cissy63. I find that products go in and out of stock frequently; it’s just about timing and that so often is a factor we have little control over (or insight into). I hope you are able to pick up another tube or two. 😉 Especially with it on sale.

Cissy63 · ‎02-16-2023

@itsfi You are too kind😀. Yes, I am going to try!

Cissy63 · ‎02-15-2023

@itsfi Thank you. Online I have not seen it since last summer 🥰

eshoe · ‎02-14-2023

Thank you for the tag, @itsfi, I will keep my eyes out for it next time I stop by 👍🏼😉

lmaster · ‎02-13-2023

I loved the watermelon moisturizer from this brand!! @Cissy63

Cissy63 · ‎02-13-2023

@lmaster Oh that sounds wonderful too. I am going to have to try it💕

eshoe · ‎02-07-2023

Ok I definitely have to try this one, @Cissy63 - based on our shared love of other skin care alone! It also sounds fun, with the fresh fruity scent 😋

Cissy63 · ‎02-07-2023

@eshoe This smells so good 🥰. A nice easy hydration mask! And the pink color is beautiful 💕

eshoe · ‎02-08-2023

@Cissy63 it sounds so good! I have checked Target and Ulta, neither of them have it, but I am going to keep looking:)

bubble it up

Spoiler

I thoroughly enjoyed this mask, it was pink and bubbled up pink foam.

Fit was great and the best part,, no bubbles in my eyes or mouth!!

The scent imo was artificial fruit, not specifically peach, more of a mixture of artificial fruit, it wasn't bad at all.

I left it on for 15 minutes, then washed it off with a wet makeup eraser

My skin felt so soft and hydrated.
I think I actually liked this mask better than any of my bubble masks from a bottle.

Cissy63 · ‎02-13-2023

@lmaster I have only tried one bubble mask. It felt strangely fun. Feeling the bubbles start up felt really good. Good to know you liked this one 😃

lmaster · ‎02-14-2023

@Cissy63 I was so happy it didn't get in my eyes or mouth lol

eshoe · ‎02-07-2023

@lmaster woohoo for finding a bubbling shot mask that you prefer over a wash-off 🙌🏼

lmaster · ‎02-07-2023

Especially because the ones I love the most are.... Discontinued 🙄 @eshoe

eshoe · ‎02-07-2023

I hear ya, @lmaster...unfortunately 😥

From a couple of weeks ago, we have some "C" themes masking with some clay, collagen and Crème Shop:

Spoiler

The Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Hyaluronic Clay Pore-Tight Facial Mask 2.03 oz/ 60 mL was a sample-turned-purchase. It is similar to alpyn beauty Wild Huckleberry 8-Acid Polishing Peel Mask 1.7 oz / 50 mL, in shade and consistency - which is quite complex. In the pink clay base is a blend of both tiny, clear exfoliating granules (hydrated silica, a form of silicone dioxide or sand) and “micronized blueberry seed powder.” There are visible blueberry seeds, which add to its beauty. Alpyn’s peel also uses hydrated silica, blueberry and bamboo powder, and a blend of AHA/BHA acids. A side by side comparison shows 39 ingredients for the GR, and an impressive 61 for Alpyn’s mask. The Alpine also has a whopping 24 fruit/seed extracts, including Cinnamomum Camphora Linalooliferum Wood Extract, which can be irritating for those with sensitive skin. GR has only 8 extracts, which may be the reason it does not come with a 5-minute warning. While I love the Huckleberry Peel, setting my timer is a must; otherwise my skin graduates to a warm, scarlet hue. Both leave my skin feeling softened, but for ease of use, I opted to replenish with this rather than the Alpyn when I finished my jar.

Comparison of FS and DS jar product

Next up was the JayJun Collagen Skin Fit Mask. This was a two-step mask that includes a jelly-esque hyaluronic acid essence. I think this is a brilliant pairing, as masking for me is all about boosting that hydration level - something this helps to accomplish. The squishy soft and lush sheet mask had a plastic-y floral scent, was oversize. I left it on for a full 30 minutes, and found a slight residual tack once removed. I applied the essence, an unscented, thicker gel, which absorbed quickly and felt cool on my skin. This is a mask I would pick up again, save for the slightly unpleasant sheet scent, it worked well for my skin.

The Crème Shop Gentle Cutie Hydrogel Under Eye Patches were very moisturising and cute, to boot. I typically do not spring for single-use eye patches for myself, but these were too cute to pass up.

Finally, the fresh Rose Petal-Soft Deep Hydration Lip Balm 0.3 oz/ 10g is one of my favourites (thank you @quspork!), in regular rotation and I am pretty certain I will find it into my cart again after I finish this little jar.
