@eshoe If it weren't for trying to find Q's it probably would've sat around even longer! 👌😉
What a neat mask. So many Qs that I didn’t know about @Shosh85
@emaisgr8 Im learning a lot of Q's I didn't know about too! ..... like quark cheese. Haha! @missjeanie
Another great Q! I don't know that I've seen this one before @Shosh85 , but I feel like I've read another positive review. Looks one to keep an eye out for!
@missjeanie I've honestly had no motivation to try this one since I bought it. Then Q week rolled around and I felt like it was meant to be! Glad I finally did! 👍😃
It was perfect then!! That’s what I love about these challenges @Shosh85 !
Fellow maskers... I need help!
I tried out a sample I had of the Summer Fridays Overtime mask tonight. I have no idea why I waited so long to try this. The scent was delightful, the scrubbiness was fantastic. I let it sit on my skin for about an hour instead of 10 minutes (oops), and a lot of the mask had sunk in and it looked like I had a great glow on with some bits of sand on my skin before I stepped into the shower. When I got out, my skin looked/looks fantastic. Its brighter, clearer, and so soft. I love a good scrubby mask!
I had pulled out the Holika Holika Green Tea mask to follow up since I assumed I'd need a good moisture dunk after scrubbiness. Nope. My skin feels fine. I'll still moisturize tonight, but no sheet mask needed.
Here's the dilemma. Do I want to pick this up or the PTR Pumpkin Enzyme mask? I've heard a lot of comparisons between the two. Does anyone have a favourite? Any reasons why you love one more than the other?
@missjeanie, that IS a dilemma! I like both the SF and PTR pumpkin masks - they both sure do smell delicious! I don't envy you on this one - it's so hard to choose. I tend to reach for the PTR one more in the warmer months and the SF one more when the weather is cooler.
These are the types of problems I lay awake thinking about @itsfi ! lol... I'm still wavering back and forth!
I'm gonna keep an eye for a post from you on the hauls thread, to see which one(s) you end up picking up. 😉 Good luck deciding!
@missjeanie - have you tried the PTR one? If not, and you only want to pick up one or the other I would go with Summer Fridays since you seem to really like it. If you've tried both but just can't create a comparison, are you close enough to Sephora to get a sample so you can do a mask battle prior to the sale? Wish I could be more helpful but those are the questions I'd ask myself before choosing.
@ShortErica @I’ve only tried the Summer Friday’s. I’ve read a lot of reviews comparing the two and would have loved to have gotten to a store to see the PTR in person, but I’m 5 hours to Detroit or Green Bay, the nearest Sephora’s. Actually I could possibly get to a different one in 4 hours if traffic is ok. I’m trying to whittle down my to buy list a bit... only one face and all... I’m leaning SF since I have tried it. Maybe I’ll try to snag a sample and put the PTR on my next sale list. So many masks, only one the one face! First world problems for sure!
It's so easy to get caught up in the masking excitement @missjeanie! I think waiting for the next sale for the PTR is a smart move. Like you said, only one face and you would hate for a product to expire on you. 🙂
@missjeanie That is a hard question to answer. Im probably no help, but I really like them both pretty equally. I like having both on hand, mostly because sometimes I want a Pumpkin Spice Latte and other times I really want Pumpkin Pie. 😂 If I HAD to pick just one, I'd probably go with the Overtime mask because that one is a little bit more hydrating. I'm happy you enjoyed it! 🙌
@missjeanie @Shosh85 is definitely right summer Fridays is more hydrating to me also
I did appreciate the moisture on the SF @Shosh85 . I know what you mean too... I love both Lattes and Pie too!
My little masker decided to try the A’Pieu Milk mask tonight. Her thoughts: “It’s tingly.” She left it on for all of 2 minutes, removed it, and said, “Now I need to go tok tok tok.”
Awww, she's the best @eshoe! Love that she went 'tok tok tok' after using the sheet mask. She's an A+ masker! 🙂
Makes me laugh, @itsfi - anything that gives life a little joy is well worth the time 🙂
