Exactly @cianni this way, I don't have to worry about any dry spots 😁
In my (feels like forever) absence, I’ve been trying to keep up masking, but focusing more on repeats and a couple wash off masks that I’m looking to pan. Last night I decided to try a new one to review for the thread but... it fully shredded as I was adjusting it on my face. Like a sheet of paper! So can’t really speak on what it does for the skin, how it feels etc 😂 oh well, I’ll try something new tonight or tomorrow! Can’t really give this one a grade so ill give it a DNF (did not finish) hahahaa
So good to have you back @cianni! Have you found any repeat masks that you love? Your post reminded me that there are probably a couple of wash off masks that I need to devote a little more time to using up.
Wow, the mask just came apart on you! So sorry to hear that. What a bummer!
@itsfi ive been using the Ahava Moisture Cream mask (the entire brand can’t be tagged - is it not available on the US side anymore?), that @lmaster had recommended a long time ago and I picked up. I do really like it as a sleeping mask, but I’ve been trying to use up some DS, and Laneige Sleeping Mask trials tend to pile up 😂. I bought a FS of the LANEIGE - Lavender Water Sleeping MaskDuring the sale, but I ended up exchanging it for the regular version because it wasn’t nearly as good despite the only marketed difference being the scent. I’ve also been using a Formula 10.0.6 (I think that’s the name), but I’ll be reviewing it as part of this thread so I’ll keep my thoughts under wraps for now 😉 OH - I also have been trying to pan this awful Arbonne mask. No idea where it came from but it’s the only hydration mask I’ve ever tried that somehow burns when you apply it?
@cianni, Sephora US doesn't carry Ahava; I think they may have previously though. Good to know about the original and lavender Laneige sleeping mask; I've stuck to the original version - in large part because I have so many DS and foils of it as well, not a bad thing as I really like the sleeping mask. Oooh, can't wait to hear your thoughts on the 10.0.6 mask; will keep an eye out for your post. Ohhh cianni!! That Arbonne mask does not sound like a keeper, at least not as a face mask? Do you think you'd experience the burning feeling if you applied it elsewhere? Like your elbows, feet/heels or legs? Our face can be more sensitive than other body parts. Maybe it'd be easier (and safer) to pan it if you used it on another part of the body?
Well now that's not how a masking is supposed to go @cianni . What a bummer. I guess at least we all know to avoid this one now.
Nice to see you back around here, @cianni! I think I'll make a note not to try this mask! Yikes! That's pretty disappointing! 😕
Thats too bad it fell apart @cianni, it looks like a nice mask☹️
Welcome back @cianni! I had a mask like that recently, it was so frustrating, as the essence was quite nice. I like your ‘DNF’ designation; might need to use it sometime 😉

@ShortErica I think I’m also going to use the DNF for any masks that were uncomfortable/itched or burned and I removed before the recommended time. But I agree, I hope none of us ever needs to use it!
@eshoeHappy to be back! I have a fun lineup for tonight that (hopefully) works out better 😂
@byme4u this is the first time I had tried anything from the brand! I like the idea of a black pearl mask so maybe I’ll seek out another brands version
Doesn't quite fit in with this week's theme but wanted some pore care so tried this one. I've been curious about these for a bit now.

@GalPalVal17 oh a bandaid scent is most definitely NOT on my top 10 favorites list 😄 Hopefully the Aurora and Water Bang are better!
lol @eshoe i didnt mean it smelled like a band aid.. after reading my response to the mask i should have been a little more clear. I just thought the feel and flexibility of the mask felt like those flexible band aids. the smell was just a fragrant scent but definitely not band aid scent. that would be horrible... lol 😛
Ha ha ha @GalPalVal17 I have used masks that have that distinct hospital-bandaid scent so I wasn’t surprised 😂 good to know it wasn’t that bad!
@GalPalVal17, I haven't tried the pore care version of the Oozoo bear masks and it was good to know your thoughts; now I know what to expect. So far, I've found these to be nice masks; the packaging, of course, is very cute! 🙂
It's a space bear.. I think I see Uranus on the package. Makes it a U mask, no? lol Glad you got to try this one out @GalPalVal17 I always tend to figure even if it didn't do exactly what the package claims (cause sometimes those claims are a little out of this world), if it still performs well for you and your skin it's still a winner. I'll have to figure out which bear I picked up!
