I miss the seasons @lmaster. I'll happily send some sun your way.
For that matter @ShortErica I miss seasons too seems like it's just winter and spring anymore lol
Darn @lmaster. Fall is my favorite.
Me too!! @ShortErica
@ShortErica This definitely seems like a good one to have on hand for summertime. I am bad about getting random sunburns/redness from forgetting sunscreen.
The All Day Aloe and All Day Collagen seem mostly identical in size
I liked trying them all back to back as well @ShortErica , your right in that it helped me curb some shopping since I knew exactly what I was doing all week.
I really thought the snail mask (not the purple) would come up tops for me. But the surprise addition of the jelly’s booted them. And that material on the pore care! I’m hoping to have my finals feels up tonight. I’m super curious how you like the pore strips compared to the biore!
@missjeanie yep, I just don't think it can be Biore. I have it on now and have already found faults. But maybe results will sway me.
Can't wait to read about your ranking decisions!
Glad you're able to see through the comparison which ones work best for you and under what circumstances, @ShortErica. It's a great little experiment!
I'm excited to do the Oozoo bear comparison next week. Even though I'm on vacation I think 3 is doable. I really enjoy the experiment part @quspork
@ShortErica I just love your break down on these masks. It’s been very interesting reading your reviews. I’m proud of you for getting through all these masks this week.
Thanks so much @emaisgr8. I feel accomplished. I just don't think I could do this all the time. I give major credit to those who find time to mask daily or day and night.
I like roses, but generally not rose-scented products. And Turkish Delight- rose-flavoured candies...
I imagine chewing on a flower.
I'll pass.
Lol
(Tell me how you really feel, L8totheparty...)
It's important to know what you like and what you dont @l8totheparty. Helps for some wise spending. And for how long winded I've been this week, feel free to post your trains of thought for sure!
@ShortErica What a fun filled week of Yadah! Like you mentioned, it's nice to be able to compare masks so close together- even if you write good notes, it's just not as good as having it fresh in your brain. 😉🧠
I'll be curious how you feel the Yadah nose strips compare to Biore! 😃
Wearing it now @Shosh85. Made the mistake of not adding the slits like Biore has myself so the fit has bubbles. We will see about results. And my husband will give it a go later. But so far, it's no Biore.
@ShortErica Love these series that you did, what a fun week!!
Thanks so much @annahoang. I got a kick out of doing it and it really forced me to use some of the masks I had before hoarding more. It was neat to truly be able to remember one and compare than try to recall something from months ago.
This one sounds great too @ShortErica! I loved the Rose now I need to try this one😊
I think this would be best used when you've been outside a lot @faeriegirl. I also considered putting it in the frig but wanted to go apples to apples with the other Yadah. When you try it, let me know what you think and if you still prefer rose. 🙂
I had a great afternoon multimasking. I started off with AMIKA - Soulfood Nourishing Mask Mini
which is a favorite. Then I used Peter Thomas Roth Irish Moor Mud Purifying Black Mask 5 oz
from the mask mashup gratis. I really liked this one too. I left it on for 10 minutes and my skin felt so clean, soft, and smooth. I’m definitely looking forward to using it more often.
I followed it up with the Yadah rose all day mask pack. I loved the pink color and the scent was fantastic. It fit really well, it was a tad big at the sides. It had lots of serum I left it on for 20 minutes and there was still plenty left to massage into my face, arms, and chest. It was slightly tacky but fully absorbed after a few minutes. My face looked brighter and definitely felt hydrated. I would definitely use this one again. I also used a rose MegRhythm steam eye mask and SC rose lip balm. They are both favorites. For the grand finale I used my last Bawdy butt mask. This one is Bite it. My SO assisted just in placement this time. When he asked which one we were using and I told him Bite it, he got an odd look and said “ don’t take this the wrong way but I really don’t want to bite your butt with all that sticky stuff on there”🤣🤣🤣. I told him not to worry there would be no biting involved. I left it on for 10 minutes. He said it definitely looked hydrated, refreshed, and smooth. But not toned, taut, or contoured. I am really disappointed after using 4 of these I am not bootylicious🤣 They were fun though😁
