@lmaster It was so nice and left my skin feeling soft like  babies skin

[eshoe]

Ahhhh @Mellmars1185, lucky you to have been the recipient of @heartsmyface's sheet mask inclusion with your Galentine's package! She finds some great ones, for sure.  

[Shosh85]

@Mellmars1185  Oh, this one sounds wonderful! No surprise it's from @heartsmyface - she's always got the greatest masks! 😃

[itsfi]

@Mellmars1185, always great to have a good collagen mask on hand. 👍🏼 

[CynthieLu]

Collagen Infused masks are a lovely treat @Mellmars1185  I like masking at night too 🌙 🌃  After you wash off the day, I feel like it's a great time to t.l.c and mask up 💕

[heartsmyface]

@Mellmars1185  Oh yay!  I got one for me as well and haven’t tried it yet.  The fragrance looked appealing. Soon we’ll be home and I can resume daily masking.    Not a whole lot of skincare has been happening the last week besides the bare minimum afterthought care.  My skin is needing some TLC. 

[Mellmars1185]

@heartsmyface This one would be a good one to try when you get home 💞🙏

I am sure everyone has seen reviews on this one so I’ll keep it short. I love the sweet smell this mask has and it worked well! 

 
this is another popular one. I really enjoyed it. I left it on 20 minutes and it left my skin feeling hydrated. 

 
this combo was amazing. I love a good detox mask and the Cica really helps after to add the moisture back in. I washed the detox mask off just before it completely dried down and I left the Cica mask on for 20 minutes. My skin felt so refreshed after. 

[lmaster]

All great choices!! Love the Annie's masks, they smell so good @ather 

[ather]

@lmaster  Thank you! I agree they are my fav! 

[eshoe]

That cicada one is incredible, @ather. So silky soft and nurturing for your skin!  

[ather]

@eshoe  I agree!! I need to grab more to have for a back up!

[Shosh85]

@ather  Sounds like some great masking! I still really love those AW Bubble Tea Masks! 
I'm a sucker for anything with Cica, and this sounds like a perfect after-detox-mask! 😃

[itsfi]

All these have been so well liked here @ather. The packaging for the Annie’s Way bubble tea masks are really cute. 😃

[ather]

@itsfi  I agree! They are sooo yummy and cute! Can’t go wrong with AW. 

[CynthieLu]

That's a nice line up of masks @ather 

Bubble tea sounds fun! I haven't tired any of these, they look like good ones. I bet your skin is having a very happy and pamperd week 🥰 

[ather]

@CynthieLu  They are sooo good! You definitely need to try the bubble tea masks! They are my favs!! They have the most yummy scents. 

[Mellmars1185]

@ather Good call on using the cica mask after the detox mask. Sounds like it worked well!

[ather]

@Mellmars1185  Yes they did! I always need extra moisture so adding it after the detox is definitely helpful!

Last bit of catching up. 

K for kimchi, vitamin K, Korean and Kang

I love kimchi, a traditional Korean side dish packed with vitamin K. It's great on its own, on avocado toast 😋⬇️, and as the star ingredient in Kimchi Daily Vegi Mask from Yadah, a woman-founded and owned Korean beauty brand, started by Anna Kang after all the time she spent searching for products to help her child who was experiencing breakouts. 

kimchi ... mmmm!

My thoughts on the mask: 

Spoiler

Let me say first that the mask did not smell like kimchi. I don't actually pick up any scent from this soft, thin, cellulose sheet that adheres beautifully, feeling like "second skin".  The unscented essence is a clear, slightly viscous, quick absorbing liquid - thin-ish but not runny or dripping. Like most sheet masks, the openings for the eyes and mouth are a bit narrow and there's extra material at the chin / jawline, but these fit issues can be easily addressed with a few incisions here and there. Skin is left looking and feeling soft and hydrated with a lovely bounciness to it. This mask makes for a great daily sheet mask as well as a pre-makeup primer mask.

Now that is some excellent food/mask matching, @itsfi! And now I'm hungry... But the mask sounds great too 😆
