Thanks @itsfi ! I checked out the Face Shop store recently and I couldnโt find the snail mucin one ! They have the Goat Milk one but Iโve tried products that contain goat milk and it irritates my skin so much so Iโm never going to try the Mask ! I think 2 other MasCream flavors were available but no snail ๐! I think that they might have stopped carrying the snail one because it didnโt sell well enough. Sheet masking hasnโt really caught on here yet๐ค in the province of Quebec! I think that the % of those who mask is infinitely small compared to other provinces, states and countries! This makes purchasing sheet masks quite challenging which is unfortunate! People donโt know what theyโre missing!
The last "K" masks for the week ๐
Keep Calm and Hydrate On
I Dew Care Keep Calm and Hydrate On
This is a thin mask, drenched with serum that has a very light coconut scent, but was hardly noticeable while the mask was on. The fit was good โ just a little too wide at the temples and a little too long at the chin. I removed it after about 25 minutes and massaged in the little bit of left over serum. The serum was slightly tacky, but it all absorbed pretty fast. My face felt very soft and smooth, and maybe a little brighter, but it also felt kinda uncomfortable and dry.
For a mask that has the word "hydrate" in the title, it didn't do a very good job actually hydrating. I wouldn't use this one again and give a C grade.
Ingredients:
Kale & Grapefruit
Ariul Juice Cleanse Mask - Kale & Grapefruit
This is a thin, white cotton sheet mask of about medium thickness, that was drenched with a milky serum. It had a very pleasant scent, that's hard to describe exactly โ sort of a fresh, clean and fruity type of smell. It fit a little big in both length and width, but it did have pre-cut slots at the chin, ears and eyes for better customization. It was comfortable to wear and adhered pretty well, except for the chin area, that needed repatting a few times. I removed it after about a half hour and there was just a little serum left, that was just slightly tacky, but absorbed pretty quickly on it's own. My face looked noticeably brighter, had a very nice glow and had lasting hydration. I'd definitely use this one again and it gets an A+!
Ingredients:
@lmaster I usually try to go in with low expectations, but when they have it written in the title like that, my expectations rise a little higher ๐ but of course, I had low expectations for the Kale one, and that one turned out wonderful! ๐ That's just how it works๐
Oh man, not only a let down for a mask but so disappointing you wouldn't do it again, sorry @Shosh85. Good thing your other mask was an A+.
@ShortErica I shoulda known not to have high hopes! Haha! Hydration and coconut just sounded good to me! I've had so many "A" masks lately, I was bound to come across a dud sooner or later. ๐๐
@Shosh85Bummer about the I Dew Care... It looked like it could be such a good one. Glad there was a positive in the Kale & Grapefruit though!
@missjeanie Out of the two of them, I kinda thought I'd like the I Dew Care one more! I really try not to form assumptions or expectations about a mask before using it, but I usually get excited for masks with "hydrate" in the title, and less excited for ones with "Kale" in the title. ๐๐ฅฌ
@Shosh85It's hard to get excited about the word "kale" in anything... lol
@Shosh85 ๐ that Kale mask! Youโve tried the lentil one too, I think? Bummer about the I Dew Care! one though; a hydrating mask has one goal ๐
@eshoe Haha! Yeah, the I Dew Care mask only had one job! ๐
I tried the raspberry & lentil juice cleanse mask as well, and really liked both of them! They were a lot alike, but the Kale one seemed to brighten a little more ๐
@Shosh85, I was super excited when I saw the pic of the I Dew Care sheet mask - โhydrate onโ ๐ฆ and โsoothing coconut waterโ ๐ฅฅ sounded fantastic. How very disappointing that it didnโt live up to its claims. ๐ Sorry it was a let down but Iโm happy to hear that the Ariul Kale + Grapefruit mask was such a hit! ๐คฉ Yay for an A+ mask! Fruits and veggies are good for us! ๐
@itsfi Exactly, I saw the words "hydrate" and "coconut" and thought it sounded promising!
The two Juice Cleanse Masks I've tried have turned out really great! It's funny too, 'cause I was a lot more excited about the hydrating mask than I was about the Kale one ๐
This morning I started with a new mask gifted by @itsfi ๐๐ thank you so much SEPHORA COLLECTION - SUPERMASK - The Bubble Mask
I do love this mask! Then I decided to follow it up with one of my favorites vita genic relaxing...ahhhhhhhhh this mask is so lovely! My skin feels so soft and moisturized it's an A for me
Weird to wake up with a cut like that @lmaster , but how crazy that the mask would help to clean it out/heal it! What a bonus, that would be an A++++ mask for sure!
@missjeanie this has never happened before, I don't understand how this wouldn't wake me up! Ikr instant impress ๐
@lmaster Yikes. Sorry about your head! It's so weird, I randomly find cuts and bruises on me and have no clue how they got there! Haha! I was wondering the same as @eshoe, that maybe you scratched yourself? Do you have pets? My husband said he stopped my cat from "kneeding" her paws next to my head while I was sleeping. ๐ ๐ฑ
Glad you liked the bubble mask! I tried it when it first came out and liked as well! โ but I've never minded bubble/foam masks ๐
The Vita Genic Masks are wonderful! Happy to hear you liked this one! ๐
No indoor pets, other than my dog and he's not allowed in this part of the house...pet hair ๐ @Shosh85 crazy I swear!
Oh no @lmaster, that cut looks painful! ๐ฒ Is it still hurting? Iโm glad the bubble sheet mask worked out so well for you. ๐ Those vita genic masks are so good too! Great masking duo! ๐๐ผ
@itsfi it does still hurt,,, leave it to me, to get wounded during sleep! ๐ค
Oh noooo!! I hope it heals quickly @lmaster! Oh goodness, yes! I wake up with bruises and cuts with some frequency and have no clue how that happened. I have pieced together that some of the bruises on my legs are probably from me bumping into the corners of the bed in the middle of the night. You would think I'd remember something like that... Sigh.
