@eshoe I do set some limits with masks that contain alcohol and the When masks are ones I still use anyway. The alcohol on the When masks are near the middle of ingredients too, so I don't worry about as much as the ones that have it in the first line of ingredients. ๐
Thatโs a good boundary to have, @Shosh85! I was so disappointed when I found out it was an ingredient but my skin never complains๐
@eshoe this is in my refrigerator for tonight! Did you store it in your beauty fridge? I remember you said you won't store your 2nd WHP one there, right?
We should rank the masks from the kit 1-5 after we've used them all. ๐
Ranking them is a great idea, @ShortErica- so far the W.H.F. takes 1st place. I did not store this one in my fridge, and the scent was completely different. We will see what happens with the second W.H.F.!
I just did the N.M.F. @eshoe. I think I prefer the Lightbeam though this one was pretty good to me too.
I'm loving no brainer masking the last few weeks @eshoe . The Origins has been added to my sale list to grab and will be a "eshoe made me do it" for me! The dew care pore mask sounds pretty nice too, maybe one to look at next trip to Ultra! Glad you got some masking in even when you didn't want to think about it!
I think it may only come in a set @missjeanie but I could be wrong (about the I Dew Care). It was fun to have a mask with a different/new consistency.
Classic example of Bic made me do it!! I first seen @Shosh85 use this mask.. The way she described this mask was amazing and I had to try it! Perricone MD cocoa moisture mask. After @eshoe used this the other day, I had to jump in and use this divine cocoa mask, I swear it smells like chocolate pudding ๐ it has little beads that pop as you massage the mask into your skin. Definitely an A +
Then I followed it up with this clear skin avacado face mask. The mask looked just like the packaging, I was kinda freaked out because it reminded me of a scary clown looking face ๐ I did not like the actually sheet mask at all, it was way too small and much thicker than your typical sheet mask, so it wouldn't stay put very well. The serum itself I loved! There was not a scent at all. I left it on for 15 minutes and massaged the serum into my skin. I did feel moisturized and my skin looked less red around my blemish areas. I'd rate this one a B-+ lol because I hated the actually sheet mask but loved the serum. And there is a N for Niacinamide so I could fit it in to this week's theme ๐
That cocoa mask sounds amazing @lmaster!
@lmaster everyone seems to love the Perricone Cocoa mask! I feel like it's another one I just need to pick up! Looks like my spring sale will be a mask haul lol
@missjeanie its so deliciously scented ๐ I think you would love it
This is really interesting @lmaster, butylene glycol is usually second or third on the list and it's much further down on this one. What did you love about the serum? How was the tackiness? I am wondering if that ingredient (how much of it is used) is what causes tackiness in a mask...
@eshoe the serum had a nice silky feel when I was massaging it into my skin. I really didn't notice any tackiness after the serum was absorbed. ๐ค
@lmaster That Cocoa mask is sooo good! I'm glad you love it too! It's probably the closest I'll get to smearing chocolate on my face โ I just have to remind myself it's not supposed to be eaten! Haha! ๐๐ซ๐
Sorry to hear the sheet mask wasn't anything amazing. I can totally see how it would like a scary clown! ๐คก Was there a lot of serum? โ sounds like this would be a good one to use your own blank mask to soak in the serum. ๐
@Shosh85 it did have a lot of serum and I don't think I'll ever forget this packaging ๐ so if I'm ever sent this mask in a sub I will definitely pull out a bank mask....I totally love the cocoa mask thanks for enabling ๐
N is for Nurako NRK. Another mask from the masking queen herself, @itsfi! ๐ Love the illustration on this one. ๐ฐ๐ป Thanks Fi!
Nurako NRK Arbutin Intense Brightening Mask
This a thin and transparent cotton sheet mask that was soaking with serum and a light, clean and fresh scent. The fit was pretty good โ just very slightly big at the forehead and temple area. It had pre-cut slots at the chin and eyes, to help with a better fit. I left I on for about 40 minutes and when I removed it most of the serum had already absorbed and what was left was only slightly tacky. The serum and tackiness faded pretty quickly. My skin felt soft and smooth and comfortable hydrated, my face looked noticeably brighter and my complexion looked clear. I'd definitely use this one again and give it an A+!
