That's great you were able to sleep in @keana1. You deserve some rest. Hope you can at least sleep in a little tomorrow!
Thanks @ShortErica ! I hope so too ! ๐ฅฐ
@keana1 Big hugs girl. Being a mom IS hard but you do learn to adjust and figure out how to balance caring for others and sneaking in some self care too, after a routine is established. ;).
your family is surely super appreciative of all your help. It canโt be easy for your mom having the roles reversed and being cared for by her children so iโm really thinking of her too. Lots of lots of love! ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ. The rainbow is beautiful and couldnโt be more perfectly timed:).
Thanks @heartsmyface ! Sending you my love also in Prague ๐ฅฐ ! Enjoy your trip!
Thank you so much @itsfi ! Love the little ponies! ๐ I miss being home with Kauai, having time to mask and so many other fun things to do, I also miss the BIC! I should be able to come home late tomorrow evening ( I have to, I left Kauai at home ( she has plenty of food and water ) because she just hates being in her carrier and meows from the second sheโs in there, until I reach our destination. Going to the vet isnโt a long car ride but driving to my parents house seems like an eternity for her ! Hugs ๐ค to you Fi !
Oops, I passed out from exhaustion a few hours ago before removing my makeup. Doing my skincare now. Iโve done this foil mask before but donโt remember it being so scented. Maybe my tastes have changed since then cause iโm not liking the soapy floral. It persists for the whole wear. The serum is slippery in a siliconey way and dries down a little tacky, and mask itself is a great fit. My skin feels good and plump It gets a B
Funny how our sense of scents changes over time @heartsmyface...at least your skin got some <3!
@heartsmyface This sounds looks great on you and sounds like it has some decent results! Too bad the scent wasn't better๐
I hope you're able to catch up on some beauty sleep! ๐ด
You're rocking the tin man look @heartsmyface. Too bad about the scent though.
You had a looooong day @heartsmyface! No wonder you're exhausted! Ohhh,a soapy floral scent does not sound appealing. Of course it would linger for the entire wear time!! Why is it that the good scents fade away almost instantly but less than pleasant ones linger .... and linger ... lol. Hope you are able to get some rest tonight.
@itsfi lol, me too. I really need to put my phone down. I did get some sleep already but should be trying to rest (itโs 3:30am here) hahaha, I know you guys are up now though! ๐๐ค๐
@heartsmyface Oh, I've never tried a foil mask before. Are they comfortable to wear?
@PrettyPaint @Some are and some arenโt. This one was. The single piece ones can be a little harder to wear cause the metal doesnโt typically stretch so the fit is normally off.
I am still on the fence as to whether foil masks are all a gimmick or if they actually have benefits. Either way they look cool.
You definitely do look pretty cool in the picture! @heartsmyface. Thanks for the info about foil masks - makes sense about the limited stretchiness.
Some more Yadah masking ๐
Yadah Cactus Toner๐ต
This is a clear toner that doesn't have a scent that I can tell. It apparently contains 87% Cactus Water Extract instead of water, which sounded good to me since all the cactus masks I've tried I've liked. It does a great job both cleansing and moisturizing at the same time.
Ingredients:
Yadah Cactus Soothing Mask Pack
This is a thin cotton sheet mask that was soaking with serum and didn't have much of a scent - I'm not positive what cactus smells like, but I feel like I smelled a hint of something possibly cactus-y. The fit was large and a little off - it was a little too wide at the temples, about an inch too long at the chin, the eye holes were too big and everything just seemed to be a smidge off and not lining up quite right. Due to how thin the mask was it was easy to make it fit by folding and sort of scrunching it into place. The mask adhered pretty well despite the fit, but the extra length at the chin popped up a few times. It had a soothing and refreshing feel the entire half hour I had it on. The serum leftover was maybe just the slightest bit tacky, but it all absorbed super quick. My face looked brighter and felt refreshed and my skin felt very soft and smooth. The hydration from this wasn't the best, but also not bad at all either - just kinda in between.
This was a decent mask, but it wasn't anything impressive to me - I think it makes a perfect filler mask though, and would be great to use right out of the fridge. I also really like that the cactus extract is 3rd in the list of ingredients. I would definitely use it again, just probably not go out of my way to repurchase.
Ingredients:
Yadah Brightening Jelly Pack
This is a thin mesh-type cotton mask that was saturated with a slimy jelly serum and had a citrusy scent. It wasn't the best citrus scent I've ever smelled, but it also wasn't anywhere near the worst either - and was hardly noticeable while the mask was on. The fit was great, just a bit too long at the chin. The adherence was great and it was very comfortable to wear. I took it off after about 30 minutes. The serum leftover was a little tacky, but absorbed on its own pretty quickly. My face looked a little brighter and clearer, my skin felt soft and smooth and the hydration lasted for quite a while.
This is another Yadah I really enjoyed and one I'd repurchase. Excited to try the two I have from this line!
Ingredients:
@lmaster I actually really like the toner! I don't do a lot of toners, but I like that this one doesn't have a scent, cleans well and slightly hydrates.
The Yadah Jelly mask is wonderful! Excited to try the others! ๐
Oh it was the mask that wasn't impressive @Shosh85 sorry! On the app it's hard to follow when there are spoilers, it adds all kinds of words between spoilers
