@keana1, Sephora US doesnโt carry Bliss anymore. This is the old packaging; I found the mask at TJ Maxx. Itโs available online at Target and Ulta but Iโm not sure how costly it would be to ship to Canada from those stores.
Thanks @itsfi ! The Bay doesnโt carry Bliss products anymore, ordering from Ulta is very expensive ( I made a mock order once and products end up costing twice the price! ). I think that my only chance to find any Bliss products is going to Winners. Iโve seen some there but I was looking for sheet masks , ended up buying lipgloss and one set of Perricone MD products! I still havenโt been lucky in finding the Cocoa Mask so the search continues...
@itsfi The Holika mask sounds great, anything that leaves you looking refreshed the next day is an A for sure!
Definitely @CC3616! ๐ Especially in this winter cold!
Itโs relaxing just looking at the mask @lmaster! It would make a good everyday mask! I love hydrating masks! ๐ฆ
Great Masking @itsfi ! I really think the pretty packaging combo takes the whole experience up a notch, and this packaging just sings! Love hyaluronic acid. I wonder if maybe ear flaps are the new trend? Gotta remember to keep your ears hydrated too?
Thank you @missjeanie! I normally do themes based around a purpose (hydration) or an ingredient. Iโve done a color theme once or twice after seeing some nice ones by @eshoe. I may try to do more of those in the next couple of weeks and going forward. Adds another layer of fun to masking. ๐
If masking the ears is a new thing, then this one needs to tweak it a little for placement, or maybe I need to work on lifting my ears. Lol! ๐๐ The ear flaps on this one were nowhere near my ears! ๐๐คฃ๐
@missjeanie @itsfi I've only used one mask that had those extra flaps, I don't remember what the name of it was, but in the directions it did say the purpose of them was just to be able to handle and place it easier. I'm not sure if this one is the same thing, but it does sound similar. ๐
Sounds like the same thing to me @Shosh85! @missjeanie
lol @itsfi maybe with snapchat being so prominent these days manufacturers have forgotten we don't have teddy bear ears? lol
Exactly @missjeanie! Funny thing about them is that they donโt even stand up ๐; they just fall onto my hair - yay, more serum in my hair! ๐ lol!!! ๐คฃ
Awww, thanks @eshoe! How often do you use the Bliss mask in your morning routine?
@itsfi This picture and it's colors, are so pleasing to the eye! ๐๐
Love that Bliss mask! It is one of my favorite bubble masks ๐ค๐
The sheet mask sounds wonderful! I don't remember all the Holika Holika masks I've tried, but I feel like they're consistently great masks for the most part. ๐
Thanks @Shosh85! ๐ I really like this color so that coupled with hyaluronic acid being the focus of the sheet mask meant that I had to try this one right away! โค๏ธ I too have been happy with the Holika Holika masks I've tried; it's a good brand and they have a lot of sheet masks to choose from! ๐
My skin just felt like it needed a scrub/peel tonight so I used the OH Power Bright. I realized as I opened this up that I've used the full size of the step 1 sugar scrub before, so I knew that I liked that step. The other two steps were new to me. I got a bit distracted and left step 3 on a little too long I think, (directions say 15 mintues but I probably should have stopped at 10). My skin felt great after the scrub. It did its job and I looked a bit brighter with softer, exfoliated skin. My skin did feel a bit dry and over exfoliated around my nose and on my chin where my lip folds over) ... what .. what do I even call that spot?)) though, so I went for a hydrating sheet mask that I've used before and had good results with. I knew this mask wouldn't have a bad reaction and would give a nice dose of moisture back into my face and it did it's job quickly. The mask started to dried down in about 15-20 minutes where it normally takes about 35-40, so I'm thinking my skin drank it up as it was in need.
Great masking session @missjeanie! The OH power peel is one of my favorite peels. I've seen a lot of them at the TJ Maxx stores by me and I've picked up a few so I'm all set for the rest of the year - yay!!
Thanks @itsfi I think it was you who mentioned that I could get two peels out of the pods. I did only end up using half of the product in each pod and 'closing' them up with a paperclip and a ziplock bag until I use it up next week. My skin does feel quite nice today. I knew my skin needed a good scrub or peel last night and it feels and looks better this morning. I need to remember to keep up my weekly peels in all my sheet mask madness! lol
@missjeanie, weekly peels are great, but yeah, it can get lost in the shuffle when you're masking often.
