@Shosh85 Such cute packaging!
Best,
Rebecca
@RebeccaBT I was definitely attracted to the cuteness! Almost half the products I buy are because of the cute/pretty packaging!! It's a major weakness of mine. Haha! 😉😂
Cute! The cool and refreshing feel sounds nice!!! @Shosh85
@veronika23 It was a good one!! I was a little worried about the title "tighter 'n' brighter" for my dry skin, but it ended up being great! I think for me, It'd definitely be a little better for the summer, when my skin isn't as dry. 😉👍
@Shosh85 I have to ask... what is "Gudetama"? I remember getting an Ipsy bag with this guy on it and people were all excited, mine just sits in a pile of bags and I have no idea what/who this little dude is? Is this the next hello kitty? lol Glad you saw results though!
@missjeanie Gudetama is a Sanrio character. Basically, he's Hello Kitty's friend. 😉 He is a cracked egg and is described as "always whiny, lazy and unmotivated, and his attitude is related to the fact that he only exists to be eaten."
"Gude" is Japanese for describing someone or something with no energy or strength, and "tama," is from the word "tamago," which means egg in Japanese.
I personally think he's super cute! Haha!
@Shosh85 Ahhhh.... okay. I get it now. I remember getting the Ipsy bag and being so confused. Thanks so much for letting me know! I actually kinda like him now that I know who he is... lol
@missjeanie Yeah, he is one of the newer Sanrio characters, (released in 2013) and when I first started seeing him pop up everywhere, I was a little confused too! I never thought I'd ever consider a cracked egg cartoon to be adorable, but I really do! Haha! 🥚🍳
It’s a papaya theme for the first day of Week 7 – Letter G – Special Occasion Masks! "G" is for gifts, Garnier and glow! 🧡🖤💛
Hair Mask
Under Eye Mask
Sheet Mask
I just love the pretty picture @itsfi! I remember seeing @lmaster's post about that Beautaniq mask, the scent sounds really nice. I'm with you on the results aspect, while I appreciate the effort, I think most hydration on this level is short-term. But that doesn't stop me in any way, shape, or form 😄
Thanks @eshoe! Few things stop me from trying mask these days! Hahaha! 😂😂😂 I feel like I’m making a dent in my mask stash but then I look at how many I have left!! 😆
I hear ya @itsfi 😄 but you know how small dents look on a car..you ARE making a difference;)
Yeah, it’ll be fine. I have duplicates as well as masks that I have 10 of (ones I know work for me) so it’s not so bad. @eshoe
@itsfi Oh yay! I'm so glad you liked the hair mask!! It's definitely one of my most favorites!! The scent is sooo good! 😋 I've only ever used it as a mask or conditioner.... Good to know about the the leave-in option not being too great! 😉
I've never tried those eye masks, but have seen that brand a lot, and have always been curious about them! These sound great! I'll have to look out for them! 👀
It was nice of @lmaster to gift you that mask! I don't think I've heard a negative thing about it! Something else to add to my list! 👍
@Shosh85, thank you so much for this mask! This is one of my faves. Using it as a leave in is not bad but it’s not my preferred use. The eye masks are nice; I would pick up a couple to have on hand for travel. I’m interested in trying out their tencel sheet masks; I have the hydrating one. The papaya sheet mask was really nice; I keep finding more sheet masks that are likes and loves - my list is definitely getting longer.
@itsfi The way you describe having a shine to your hair... lol It sure is a fine line sometimes eh! The mask does sound lovely though. Does it have a scent to it? If memory serves a lot of Garnier products do (not that I'm complaining, scent in shampoo/masks is a key for me lol)
@missjeanie, it IS such a fine line! 😂 The Garnier hair mask has a nice fruity scent to it; to me, it’s not overwhelming but it’s there.
Ohh they all sound like good masks! Love the pic!!! @itsfi
Thank you @veronika23! I’m happy with how the papaya products worked out! 😃
Oh yaaaaaaaay @itsfi 😄 so glad it worked well for you!! And you just opened my eyes to the G week.... Don't think Glow would of even crossed my mind 😂😂
It’s such a nice mask @lmaster! I saw on the brand’s site that they also have a hydrating mask; I made a note of that! 😊
