Friday PM
I was a little apprehensive about the 23 Years Old Rose Gold 24 Mask, but Shosh85 trail-blazed the way by trying this out a while ago and she has since then used other mouth-less masks from this brand. She’s a brave one, that Shosh85! I noticed two things straight away upon opening this mask – it smells beautifully of fresh roses and the mask itself is thick, very thick, which made me nervous initially because I don’t generally like thicker masks as I find that adherence is often an issue with thicker masks, but I would soon learn that those concerns would be unfounded, even or a mask of this weight. Fit-wise, the mask is about an half inch too long and wide everywhere except for the forehead, which for me was a tiny sliver too short. I was also happy to find that the only adjustment I needed to make was to the inner corner of the eyes because the portion of the mask covering the bridge of the nose was a little too wide.
As I mentioned earlier, there is no mouth hole to this mask – interesting. I gave it a shot but it wasn’t for me so I made a slight tear in the mask to create a mouth hole – it all felt better after that. The thickness of the mask worked to its advantage too, especially with the cold last night; it felt like a cozy blanket cocooning my face. It felt quite nice. Directions suggest 10-20 minutes but a check-in at 20 showed that the mask still held a good amount of essence and I ended up leaving it on for an additional 20, for a total of 40 minutes. I could have left it on even longer as there was still extra essence in the mask after I removed the mask. There’s also a good amount of extra essence in the packet; probably not enough for a blank sheet mask but plenty to apply all over myself.
Now, the results from this mask are amazing!!! My skin felt soft, plump and bouncy!!! It looked very hydrated and glowy too! The hydration and bounce remained this morning and my complexion looked fresh and refreshed. Seriously loving the results from this mask! "A+" - that’s right, A+; wouldn’t have ever thought I’d give such a high rating to this mask, but it is seriously good stuff!
I put the sheet mask off for a long time @lmaster; turns out it’s a good one - isn’t that always the way? LOL! 😆 I would not recommend it for anyone who’s sick and has a sinus congestion though - not being able to breathe through your mouth would be a problem in that case.
@itsfi if that's the case, I'd probably go ahead and cut it 😂 I'm a mouth breather
@itsfi Nice job giving the Cocoon mask a try! I haven't tried this specific one yet, but it sounds wonderful (besides the whole, no mouth hole thing, of course 😂) The first one of these I tried also happened to be my very first sheet mask as well! It was the "Cocoon Willow Silky Mask"👇 and if I remember correctly, it also gave some awesome results! (It's always the weird and gross ones that really surprise you!) I had a lot of fun taking creepy selfies with this one! Haha! 😆
hahaha @Shosh85! 🙂 Of course it would be the weird or gross masks that would provide such good results! LOL! These cocoon masks would make great back up costumes for Halloween. I know what to put on if I just can't come up with a costume this year. Hahaha! 😉
@itsfi I've actually thought of wearing this mask and answering the door to trick-or-treaters! Haha! Talk about giving the kids nightmares! 😂 My husband hasn't seen me with this on yet – I really need to buy another one just so I can surprise him with it! Haha! 😆
Hahaha @Shosh85! 😂 WearIng the mask with a hoodie would give it that an extra serial killer feel. You may never get trick-or-treaters again! 😂🤣😂 Your husband has some good responses to hour masks; it’ll be interesting to see what he says. Hahaha!
@itsfi Haha!! Putting on a hoodie would be perfect! I should try that next time! 😂😱
I was planning on putting one of these masks on and slowly sneaking around the corner and surprising my husband! Haha! I'll definitely be interested in what he'd have to say about that! 😂😂😂😆😆😆😆
Hahahaha @Shosh85! 😂🤣😂🤣😂 I have a feeling he might let out a shriek! But even funnier would be if he had zero reaction because he’s used to seeing you in all these sheet masks, and he just asked walked on by and asked you an everyday question, like about your boys, dinner, etc. Heeheehee! 😆
@itsfiThe mouthless factor sounds interesting. Good for you for giving it a try though! I've tried a sample of the hair mask and quite enjoyed it as well.
It was a good Friday night masking session @missjeanie! 💖
‘Pungent’ @itsfi? That is fascinating 😄 Any chance that ACV is an ingredient, I wonder.
I don’t think so @eshoe. Maybe pungent isn’t the right word. It was somewhat strong.
Weekend masking
@faeriegirl Great masking!! The Sephora Almond Foot Mask is definitely a favorite of mine too! – especially the ones in the pretty holiday packaging😉
I can't believe I still haven't tried the Skyn Iceland Eye Gels yet! It seems it's loved by everyone around here – I'm hoping to pick some up soon! Glad to hear you like them!
Sounds like a weekend full of some great masks! I haven't used the Rosebud salve in so long... I forgot how much I liked it when I get distracted by newness. Thanks for the reminder!
It has been my go to for years @missjeanie! I’ve tried bite and laniege but I like rosebud better❤️
@faeriegirlI used it for years but then kinda strayed away... I need another tin me thinks!
@faeriegirl, rosebud salve is a wonderful lip balm! Love it and that Sephora almond foot mask is a favorite! I stock up on it every year during the holidays - makes a great gift - for others and myself. 😆😉
