@Shosh85  I have never tasted quince.  It sounds tasty 😋.  What a wonderful mask!

[Shosh85]

@Cissy63  This mask makes them sound better than they are - they are actually pretty bland. 😂

[CookieGirl1]

@Shosh85 huh, I don't think I've seen/noticed a quince mask before but that being said, I'm definitely not as well-versed in my sheet masks as a lot of the rest of you are.  It sounds like it was nice, though, and even better that it smelled good!

[Shosh85]

@CookieGirl1  It's definitely not too common...I've only ever come across two quince masks!

[itsfi]

Yesssss!!! So happy to hear this was a love for you @Shosh85! This quince one was my intro to this line of masks from Goodal. I remember not knowing really knowing much about the fruit itself or how it smelled. Some time after, I was attending a conference and they had quince paste so I was super excited to try it and smell it. 😂🤣😂 It was a letdown but it shows the impression this quince mask made on me. Hahaha! That was October 2019; wow! Where does the time go?! 

[Shosh85]

@itsfi Quince paste at a conference?🤔

I haven't tried in a long time, but from what remember it tastes kinda bland. My sister made some into a sauce once (like applesauce, but with quince.) It's definitely tastes better with some cinnamon and sugar! 

[eshoe]

@Shosh85 pretty much everything tastes better with some cinnamon and sugar added to it 😊 this sounds like a great mask and hurrah for some milky goodness!

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  Haha! That's very true! 😂

[itsfi]

@Shosh85, it was part of a cheese platter they had set out during a cocktail hour. I don't remember it having any taste. I imagined it would taste and smell like the Goodal mask but it definitely did not. Ha! Interesting, a quince sauce? Now I want to look for recipes with quince in it. 

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  I think I need to try a quince again. I swear when I had it a long time ago, it smelled better than it tasted. 🤔

[itsfi]

@Shosh85, if you do try it, I’d love to get your take on it. It sounds like it’s something that should smell good. I had to do a little bit of research - and I see that one of the grocery stores has quince. Maybe I’ll see about stopping by and picking up one this weekend. 

[Kim888]

@Shosh85 @I don’t think I’ve ever heard of quince before! Sounds like a great mask though ! 

[Shosh85]

@Kim888  It's definitely not a fruit you hear about often!

[Kim888]

Open week: loving honey!!! 

Spoiler

Honey is one my of favorite ingredients for when my skin is dry! The Farmacy Honey Potion Plus Ceramide Hydration Mask is one of my favorite masks for winter! I still don’t love it as much as the original, but it does a nice job of bringing hydration to my skin. 

The abib ph honey mask is a thick cotton mask drenched in a clear serum. It smells very faintly of honey. The fit is slightly larger but overall good. 

Whether they actually are or not, my skin always seems to love masks and cleansers they claim to be PH balancing. This mask was very hydrating and felt great on my skin. It did seem to take a while to absorb, but not in a tacky way. More like when you use a sleep mask overnight. 

 

[lmaster]

@Kim888 looks like both masks were fabulous for you!

[ather]

@Kim888  Honey is such a great ingredient!

[Cissy63]

@Kim888  I am just getting into honey masks.  They are very hydrating.  Farmacy makes wonderful skin products.  Sounds like you have a winner 😀.  

[eshoe]

@Kim888 this Farmacy Honey Potion Plus Ceramide Hydration Mask is a 💗 💗💗

I love your thoughts on pH balanced masks. I think my skin loves them too. 

[Shosh85]

@Kim888  Oooh, such a great combo! Can't go wrong with honey! I haven't tried the new Honey Potion, but I the original is definitely a top favorite!  🍯😃

[itsfi]

Beautiful combo @Kim888! 💛🍯. Nice to hear you like the reformulation. I agree that the original is better, but it’s nice that this new version does a good job of hydrating your skin.

[txcatx]

@Kim888 Okay, that Farmacy mask looks so incredible and perfect for cooler weather. *Adds to cart.*
