I looked awhile ago but havenโt recently @lmaster. I know, mine is 45 minutes away but I am thinking of picking up one of those bags!
I think the closest one to me is an hour and a half @eshoe ๐ฒ booooo lol ๐
Was pretty tired last night after being out after work for a banquet until around 10. I really wanted to get in a mask and this guy from the creme shop was cute and seemed easy, and fit in with the L theme. Brighten up, skin! Is a Llama face mask, I'm not really sold on how much I looked like a llama wearing it, but it was still cute. There wasn't a heavy scent to it at all, just a regular sheet mask scent. It was absolutely dripping with a very runny water like serum. When I put the mask on there was a ton of left over serum in the pouch, so much so that I still have some left sitting on my counter after I rubbed an entire layer into my whole body. The mask wasn't a horrible fit, but it didn't stick well to my chin area. I left it on for about 30 minutes and there was still some decent serum left on my face to massage in. I won't say my skin really looked much brighter, but it was a cute mask and I was happy that I got a chance to get it on my face. I'd use it again, but i won't seek it out. This little llama gets a C+ for me. It'll be used when i just want to do something or am feeling the need to be cute. Would be good to pull out of the fridge in the summer to cool down as well.
The packaging on this one is just so cute, @missjeanie; itโs really too bad the results were not good! ๐
@missjeanie I saw these in one of your hauls and was very curious about them since I hadn't seen them before..... too bad it had lackluster results! I'm always secretly rooting for these cute masks to work well! ๐
@Shosh85 @Part of me wonders if itโs the gold. I havenโt had any luck with masks containing gold ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ, at least itโs cute lol
Very cute, @missjeanie- too bad the performance wasn't there!
cute for sure @quspork ... but so meh on results.
I think I felt the same way about the Narwhal one, @missjeanie. Just ok, at least You got some masking in, yay!
I believe I have the narwhale one as well @eshoe ... at least they're cute? lol
Ya.... this one will be easy to pass on in the future, it's cute, but I won't be excited for it, did no harm, but didn't do a lot of good either. @lmaster
Yesterday I went with a Lemon theme! ๐
Holika Holika Lemon Pure Essence Sheet Mask
This is a very thin cotton sheet mask that was drenched with serum and had a very light lemon scent. It had a great fit that was just a little long at the chin. It had a comfortable, cool feel the whole time I had it on, about 40 minutes. The leftover serum was absorbed pretty quick but the tackiness didn't go away until I added some moisturizer. My complexion looked clear and bright, my skin felt nicely hydrated and my face had a great glow. This one gets an A+
Ingredients:
Peripera Juice Time Lemon Mask
Like the others I've tried from the line, this mask is thin and drenched with serum, which also made it pretty difficult to unfold. It had a very light, lemon scent that was unnoticeable once the mask was on. It had a great fit โ just a little long at the chin. It adhered well and was comfortable to wear the 40 minutes I had it on. I patted in the little bit of serum leftover, that was just very slightly tacky โ but it all absorbed quickly. My face looked noticeably brighter, felt soft, smooth, hydrated and had a nice glow. This is the third one I've tried from the line, and I'd have to say they all give pretty much the same results โ except this one seemed to brighten a lot more than the other two. I'd try any of these again and give this an A+
Ingredients:
@Shosh85, *squee!!! I love lemons ๐๐and I love your masking theme - A+!!! ๐ฅฐ The packaging on both of these are super cute and the results from both of these masks sounds marvelous!! ๐๐ผ I really like the functionality of the packaging on the Holika Holika mask packets too, with the "easy open" flap in the upper right hand corner - it's so convenient and keeps things neat and tidy. ๐๐ผ I know, I know, what an interesting detail for me to be so fascinated with - sometimes the little things matter! ๐๐๐
@sonnydee Thank you! I didn't think I was going to like them too much, but instead I ended loving them both! ๐๐๐
Great theme, @Shosh85! I'm glad both of the lemon masks worked out well for you!
Thank you, @quspork! I really wasn't expecting to like them both as much as I did! ๐๐
@lmaster The Juice Time Masks have all been so great! This one definitely did a good job brightening! ๐๐๐
