How fun, @Weetart! Are these the Kocostar Strawberry Slices?
Why yes they are! I love how strong of a strawberry scent they have. @eshoe
I haven’t tried the strawberry scent yet @Weetart but I’m sure it won’t be long;)
@Weetart These look great! The shape of them are nice! 🍓😃
Totally @ShortErica I can see those kiwi ones or cucumber fitting better on the cheeks etc.
Lol thanks @byme4u it definitely brought me joy
@ShortErica Haha! You look great! The slice masks are definitely more for fun - I brought some over to my teenage nieces birthday party and they were all having fun taking selfies. 😂🤳 When these first came out, they were actually originally intended to be used on dry areas like elbows and knees. Another good use for them that a couple of other ladies and I were talking about on here is that they could be used underneath a detox or exfoliating mask to cover areas that are known to be more dry – so if your cheeks are always extra dry or dry out easier than the rest of your face, you can cover them up with the slices and the rest of your face will still get a good detox.
So strange about the eye mask. I've gotten a couple that were different thicknesses too! Some batches must've been cut wrong. 🤔
As soon as I realized the true nature of the mask I thought it would be good for sharing. If only I would have known beforehand. How you used it sounds like way more fun @Shosh85.
Both sad and happy to hear I'm not alone about different thickness eye masks. I wonder why that happens. I would happily QA different lots of eye masks to ensure they are good and consistent products. 😁
Totally get your reasoning on the slices masks @ShortErica . I've tried a few of them and I like the fun factor, and like you pulled some off before others. But I too feel bad for the parts of my face that didn't get the mask. I guess maybe if you had super combination skin where only some parts need the mask it wouldn't be too bad?
I thought about that too @missjeanie. my husband has very combo skin so I could see that working out. But for me, yes fun and nice to try but I wouldn't seek them out.
I don’t think I would like the slice masks @ShortErica, the eye mask sounds nice though.
I'm hoping to see some eye mask comparisons during dual week @faeriegirl. A different one under each eye.
Pomegranate and Cranberry to end the week!
Nature Republic Pomegranate Real Nature Hydrogel Mask
This is a two piece hydrogel mask that has plenty of serum and didn't have much of scent that I could tell – maybe a very light clean and fresh kind of smell? It had a great fit, just the nose flap was a little too long. The adherence was great on the top piece, but the bottom part slid around quite a bit. I left it on for about 40 minutes. When I removed it most of the serum had absorbed and my skin was a little tacky, but it faded quickly. My face was noticeably brighter, looked and felt smoother and my skin stayed hydrated for quite awhile. I enjoyed this one and would use it again, but probably wouldn't go out of my way to repurchase.
Leaders Tundra Cranberry Anti-Aging Mask
This is a super thin and comfortable bio cellulose mask that came sandwiched between two protective layers. There wasn't much of a scent, just a light, fresh and clean sort of smell. The fit was pretty good– just a teeny tiny bit too wide at temples and slightly too long at the chin. I kept it on for about 35 minutes, and when I removed it there was still quite a bit of serum that was a little tacky. My face looked a little brighter, felt refreshed and that 'more awake' look and feel. My skin felt comfortably hydrated and had a very nice glow. The tackiness took awhile to absorb and when it did my face looked and felt smoother.
I really enjoyed this one and it's going on my list of repurchases.
Ingredients:
@lmaster Thats how most hydrogels are, so I can't say I wasn't expecting it. They always seem to stick a little better after drying a bit. 😉
That leaders cranberry sounds fantastic @Shosh85 . Going onto the list!
@missjeanie I'll definitely be repurchasing this one! 😃
@faeriegirl I loved it! Leaders makes some great masks! 😃
@Shosh85, the packaging on the Tundra Cranberry sheet mask is soooo pretty! 🙂 I've really enjoyed all the masks from that Leaders line that I've tried! Good to know about the Nature Republic pomegranate mask - the more masks I use, the more helpful it is to know whether it's repurchase-worthy. Have you tried all the masks from that Nature Republic line? I saw a honey version that, surprise! surprise!, piqued my interest. 🙂
