They are great @lmaster, it’s nice to have an exfoliating go-to that I know won’t launch an all-out abrasion attack on my slin😆
@eshoe, the First Aid Beauty Radiance Pads are great, aren’t they?! 💗 Love that line of sheet masks from The Face Shop!! I can’t wait to use that Origins mask - motivation to finish what I have.
I am so glad you mentioned how gentle they are, @itsfi - they probably would have expired or dried up in my stash! I really love them, good, good stuff😊
The FAB pads were the first chemical exfoliants that my skin didn’t react negatively towards. 👍🏼 They’re also the ones I start back with if there’s been a long hiatus from AHA/BHA. Before using these pads, I didn’t think about the need to ease into it products like it, but lesson learned, @eshoe. 😃 Now, I ease into new products 9 out of 10 times!
Yes I am just learning that, @itsfi. What are the pools called that are built to mimic entering the ocean? Had to look to it up-zero entry! I need a zero-entry approach to skin-care😊
Don’t we all @eshoe?!! 😆 That would be amazing!
The Origins mask sounds great @eshoe ! I’ll definitely need to order it! I love the smell of apricot! Every Origins mask that I’ve used so far are wonderful and I enjoy their smell! Little Masker is such a cutie when she told you that the Face Shop mask smelled like face masks! I’m glad that it plumped your skin! I haven’t tried it yet since it doesn’t correspond to this week’s theme but I can’t wait to try it!
I think you would enjoy the Origins, @keana1. Their masks have such a natural scent, which is a bonus.
Yep, the ‘sheet mask scent’ is alive and well😄
Maybe Little Masker can’t smell the Face Shop mask since she has a cold! I hope that she gets well as soon as possible! But then again all sheet masks might smell the same to her ! 😂 @eshoe .
@eshoe I love the sound of that Origins Mask!! Glad you got to give your skin a good prep session before starting in with the DE Passioni! That was so nice of @keana1 to send you some masks!
@eshoe These all sound so great! I love what your little one said about face masks!! Haha! That is too cute!! Everyone certainly has a different opinion about scents!! I just ordered the FAB pads and added the Origins Apricot to my cart for my next order! Can't wait to spread peach yogurt on my face! Haha! My hubs might actually like that one, since he is from Georgia and does have a thing for peaches! 🍑👍 😃
@Shosh85 I don't think you'll be disappointed. Origins is really setting the bar with the hydrating-yummy-scented masks! He he your husband might even want to try his hand at masking with this one 😉
@eshoe You've made the Origins mask sound so delicious and amazing, I sent a tube to my little sister 🙂 Peach yogurt for the win!
I hope she likes it as much as I do, @MissPuff!
Last night I was just wiped out after working all day and then going to a casual job for the evening. I didn't get home until late (for me anyway) and just plain didn't have the energy to do the mask I had planned so I decided to just slap on some eye gels instead. I got these guys at Walmart USA. When I first put them on they stung. The skin under my eyes was burning. I thought I was going to need to pull them off but I pushed through about 1-2 minutes of the burn and then they were ok. I had this same reaction to the Wander Beauty Baggage claim Gold eye mask about a month ago. I've used that mask in the past with no adverse affects, but I'm wondering if my skin there has gotten more sensitive or if I maybe react gold? I used the second set in the package this morning before work and had the same reaction. I don't really have puffy eyes, but I do have crazy dark circles. The only real result I saw was perhaps a bit of puffing under my eyes, yes, more puffy than before I put them on! This could be good if someone has big hollows under their eyes I guess? I still have an entire box of these guys, so I'll give them another shot, but my expectations are beyond low. I think I might just need to stick to hydrating eye patches?
Bwahahaha! So I'm searching through old posts to make sure my spreadsheet has accurate notes and saw this @missjeanie. Have you tried them again (not that I would if I were you)? I ended up having a fine time with them it seems. But yeah, my memory to stay away did not stick with me. Fear of reaction/poor memory < desire to try all the masks. 🙂
Ha! I haven’t tried these or the Wander ones since! I think my under eyes might be sensitive some days though. I’ve had this happen with the Kokostar ones I was trying to use as well. @ShortErica @I think it’s a matter, it’s not you, it’s me!
@lmaster I'm still not sure. My under eye area is much thinner skin and can be quite a bit dryer than my Tzone, So far the last two types of eye patches I've used have caused the burning sensation. I took a scan at the ingredients in both patches but I'm going to try another gold mask tonight. It could also be that I just have sensitive under eye skin? I have another dozen or so of the masqueology ones so I'll try it again in a few weeks to see if anything has changed.
Hope it goes better for you @missjeanie
same here @lmaster lol... otherwise... eye patches for everyone!
