Thanks for your thoughts @itsfi! I wasn't super impressed with the lychee mask... maybe I'll get another to see if I get better results but it was just ok for me. I think I have both those Fresh masks and hopefully can get to them soon. I know I have the lotus one for sure.
@veronika23, try the lychee one again sometime later. The first time I tried it, it was just okay. It’s not a HG mask but it’s a like.
yeah I think I will repurchase if I need a filler. Thx! @itsfi
@itsfi great masking - I feel the same way about both those masks - okay but not great - the collagen mask pack sounds interesting thanks for reviewing !
@Kim888, totally agree, okay but not great. The Fresh mask I like the most is the honey one; it’s a pricey one but good.
I’m with others @itsfi, looks like I need to add the lychee mask to my cart😄 it sounds wonderful!
The ‘it’s not you, it’s me’ sentiment made me smile, have have a way of explaining those meh masks in just the right way;)
@itsfi you're selling me on the lychee mask! Added to my loves for the next sale!
@itsfi Love the fruit theme!! I agree with you on the Vitamin Nectar mask – it's a good mask, just maybe not great, and definitely better to use/wash off in the shower! I do love that scent, it's pretty refreshing! 🍑
I just bought the Lychee mask and while I'm not so sure what Lychee smells like, I do enjoy fruity-type scents! I also love the sound of the material! Can't wait to try this one! Thanks for your thoughts on this! 😉👍
@Shosh85, yaaay! I'm so happy you picked up one of the lychee masks! The material is really like second skin; hugs the contours of your face. The website said that it's the material on the new collection of masks in the Sephora line so I'll be interested in checking out the newer masks (I mean, even if they didn't have a new type of material, I'd still be very interested in trying out new masks - hahaha!)
@itsfi I'm very interested in the new ones too!! Second skin sounds great!! 👍😍
Trying to finish up some stuff and follow the challenge so twice this week I've used the Tatcha Violet-C Radiance Mask 1.7 oz/ 50 mL Like @eshoe I really love the experience of this mask. It feels so nice applying it and the light citrus scent is amazing! I love how it's just this thick cream that doesn't dry down and is also easy to remove. This is one I've used quite a few times before too and it always leaves my skin soft, smoother and more radiant. In all the times I've tried it though I feel sometimes the "glow" isn't always as noticeable. I had planned on using it yesterday morning but that didn't work out so I used it last night and followed with my Kypris for a few hours, then did a modified night routine as I am currently trying out a new cream. While I did see results after the mask yesterday my skin this morning was pretty nice. It appeared calmer, brighter and some lines were less noticeable. Can't say for sure if it was just that mask or a combo of it all (new cream included). I also haven't been using any chemical exfoliation... and barely any manual ones... This one does contain AHA's in it and so far I'm thinking my skin likes it more when it's in a mask than when it's a serum you leave over night... that's to be continued though as I'm not 100% sure on that. I think this is a mask that would work great if used 2-3 times a week as they recommend and maybe would give better results to people like me who don't really use overnight chemical exfoliation serums. I'd give it an A.
Oh nice @lmaster! Do you use it regularly like 2-3 times a week or once in a while?
No I don't use it regularly @veronika23 probably more like once a month lol but I need to, I keep forgetting about it, good thing I just have the small sample size
Oh oh ok. Well it's good that people see a difference even with a once in a while use. @lmaster
@veronika23 Thanks for your review! I tried a sample a while ago but I think I need to go get another! Sounds like the combo was a good one for you
@Kim888 thanks! It was. If you can get two uses out of it and try it in the same week maybe the results will be different. 😊
I feel like I could have written the notes here on the Violet-C @veronika23. I was thinking about it this morning, haven’t decided if I would repurchase or not. I’m leaning towards no, but I would definitely use it again if that masked sense. Do you think you’ll be repurchasing?
@eshoe hahaha great minds think alike I guess! 😂 I actually had a lot of ds of this one so it was almost like a FS. I think it's something I will consider purchasing for sure but not now since I have a good amount of masks to get through... trying really hard not to purchase more new stuff but it's kinda hard. 😂😂😂
Haha I hope they do have one coming! They would probably announce it on Thursday if they do. @eshoe
