@sonnydee Mmmmm Strawberry!  

[ather]

@sonnydee  Oh yum the strawberry candy sounds amazing!! What clay mask did you find better then the S&S? I’ve never tried it but interested in what’s better!!! 

[sonnydee]

the name is misleading @ather this is their flash exfoliating treatment. it is clay but also has beads in it to help with exfoliating. you only leave it on for about 5 min. massage {or not for 30 sec) I actually do love their clay mask. Which is creamy clay & rinses so easy. I killed a couple of samples deluxes, missed it so bought a set during 1 of the sales. @ShortErica

[ShortErica]

Oh okay, so the clay masks are good but the exfoliating mask is a pass. Thanks @sonnydee!

[sonnydee]

I wouldn't say a pass...🤔I can see the mattifying effect beneficial before makeup... @ShortErica but for me, at least, when I exfoliate, I want to FEEL like I exfoliated so I like Dr. Brandt Skincare microdermabrasion age defying exfoliator 3.5 oz 

[ShortErica]

That makes sense @sonnydee!

[ShortErica]

The Annie's Way sounds wonderful @sonnydee! What did you find that you like better than the Sand&Sky? I haven't tried it but I'm curious what you recommend since I may be in the market for a clay mask soon.

H is for hair mask (tgin)

S is for soft, smooth, supple skin (The Creme Shop)

Drugstore finds - all these brands (the masks and the lip balm) can be found at select CVS, Walgreens and Target stores.

"S" could also be for sensory delight, as the fragrance in these beauties are wonderful. 😍 I spied the hair mask a while back but just kept passing on it because I have more than enough hair masks. Then, @lmaster, our fellow masker with the lustrous mane and beautiful skin raved about this hair mask and well, we all know I was quickly enabled! Enable-gate 1, Fi's wallet 0. 😂🤣😂 Thank you, lmaster! 😘 This. smells. amazing. AMAZING. To me, I picked up more of a fruity scent, but the rose scent is there; it's just very soft, not nearly as pronounced as the fruit scent. The hair mask itself has a thick-ish gel-cream consistency and, per the instructions, can be left in for up to an hour. I'll have to try that one of these days. This go round, I left it in for 20 minutes and whoa! Well, hello there, soft, silky and smooth tresses!! How you doin'?! 😍 

The Creme Shop Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue Fusion Sheet Mask is from the brand's fusion sheet mask collection, one that has been consistently good as far as my skin has been concerned. 👍 The fit on TCS masks are also consistent, in their largeness that is, but that's hardly a dealbreaker, especially since it keeps my handy dandy mini scissors ✂️ in use and keeps me proficient in my mask surgical skills! 😭😭 The essence soaked cotton sheet mask had a very beautiful rose scent to it, though it may be overwhelming for those sensitive to fragrance and/or rose scents as the scent is on the heavier side. Living up to its claims, after half an hour of wear, my skin felt soft, smooth, supple and nourished (for me, that means hydrated and moisturized). If stronger rose scents don't bother you, this one is worth looking into! 😊

[quspork]

Another rave for the TGIN hair mask? ::wanders over to the cart and drops it in:: I'm glad to hear these all worked out nicely for you, @itsfi!

[itsfi]

It really is quite nice @quspork! I wasn't looking to pick up another hair mask, but . . . glad I did. Do let us know how it works for you if/when you end up getting it. 😉

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  I'm not huge fan of rose/floral, but I feel like I could handle the scent you described. The results sound wonderful! 😃

I have that sheet mask, but I've been putting it off for awhile because I heard about the scent - I might just save it for a day my allergies are acting up and I can't breathe out my nose 😂 Glad to hear it worked out great! 😃

[itsfi]

Hahaha @Shosh85, I hear ya about the allergies! 😆 This smelled more fruity to me but I’ve heard others say they pick up more of the rose. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Sounds perfect for a day your smelling powers are not heightened. 

[lmaster]

@itsfi the tgin hair serum smells amazing too!! Im pretty committed to this brand @ather 

[itsfi]

@lmaster, between shampoo/conditioner and the serum, which tgin should I pick up next?

[lmaster]

I have not had the chance yet to try the shampoo @itsfi I would suggest the tgin miracle repair serum. I fill a spray bottle with water and pump two pumps into the bottle and shake it up then spray morning or right before bed

[itsfi]

Thank you, @lmaster! 🤗 Getting my cart 🛒 ready for when my no buy is over . . . 😆 I’ll be good. Maybe. 😉 

[tjffc]

@itsfi Great hair mask!

[itsfi]

Love it @tjffc! ❤️ I want to pick up the rose water shampoo and conditioner at some point. I have a sample pack of the tgin honey hair mask that I’m excited to try! 🍯 

[ather]

@itsfi  Oooo interested in that hair mask! Sounds amazing. And anything that works for you and @lmaster  must work for me!!! I like how enabling is 1 and poor wallet is 0. I’m sure it’s worth it tho! Especially in the summer. I can’t get enough hair masks. My hair is soooo dry. I’ve seen the TCS one before and always passed on it. I may have to give it a try next time I see it!! Lovely photo!! 

[lmaster]

@ather @itsfi I've bought I think 6 tgin products so far, I think this is my go to brand
