@lmaster I only started to look at Pacifica after reading your review on sheet masks. I didnโt mind the scent on this one....at least as far as I recall... might need to use it again to test the scent! Glad you enjoyed it!
@missjeanie Pacifica is excellent! The scent is not bad, it's just a scent I often associate with certain algae masks, you don't even notice the scent once it's applied sweetness ๐
@lmaster I'm like that with soooo many masks. No matter if I like it or am not a fan, once a mask is on, I hardly ever notice the scent anymore.
I agree @missjeanie about 90% of the time once it's in my face, I don't smell anything
This mask sounds like a winner! @lmaster
It's great! @l8totheparty one of those scents that's not terrible, but the benefits are worth it
Other than the scent, this sounds wonderful @lmaster. The ingredients list looks good too! ๐
I'll say the scent isn't terrible by any means, @itsfi definitely not roses ๐
Yes, this is a great mask @Weetart I'm more than willing to look past it
Masks from yesterday and today....
Y is for Yadah x 2 and Z is for Zebra ๐ฆ
Yadah Aloe All Day Mask Pack
This is a super thin and transparent mesh cotton sheet mask that was saturated with a nice gel type of serum. It had a pleasant and light aloe scent that wasn't too noticeable while the mask was on. The fit was pretty good - about an inch too long at the chin and maybe just slightly too short width-wise by the ears. It had a very light and refreshing cooling effect which made it even more comfortable to wear the half hour I had it on. When I removed it I massaged in the leftover serum and it was just a little tacky, but faded quickly. My face felt very refreshed and some small red areas I had faded significantly. The uncomfortable dryness I had was soothed and the hydration lasted for quite a while. This is one I'd love to try next on a hot day right of the fridge! I'm happy I have a bunch more to use up!
Yadah Collagen All Day Mask Pack
This is a very thin and transparent, mesh-type cotton that was saturated with a slimy serum. It didn't have much of a scent, maybe just that signature sheet mask kind of smell. Once the mask was on though, I didn't smell anything. It had a nice fit - just about an inch too long at the chin. The adherence was great and it was super comfortable to wear the entire half hour I had it on. When I removed it the serum leftover was pretty tacky but faded away after about 15 minutes. My face looked little brighter and my skin felt firmer and comfortably hydrated.
I'm so happy @ShortErica gifted me a whole box of these, because this is one I definitely enjoy using! Thanks a bunch ShortErica! ๐๐
The Faceshop Zebra Firming Mask
This is a Zebra printed cotton sheet mask that was about medium thickness and was soaking in plenty of serum that had a pleasant fresh and clean scent. I feel like this could very well fit a horse's face, because it was basically tall and skinny (I'm wondering if they did this on purpose?)- it was a little too short in width and too long at the chin and forehead. I kept it on for about 25 minutes. When I removed it, the serum leftover was a little tacky and took about 15 minutes for it all to absorb. My face looked brighter, felt soft and smooth and maybe slightly firmer. My skin had a nice glow and the hydration was great and lasted for quite a while.
I wasn't expecting much from this mask, but it turned out great! (Isn't that how it usually works? ๐) I didn't love the fit or the material (though it wasn't any where close to the worst I've tried), but the results were great and that's what matters most to me! I would definitely use this one again!

Love the results from that Face Shop @Shosh85 sounds great but horse oil ๐ Awesome that you have an entire box of the Collagen masks, I loved those, too and was happy I purchased a box as well.
@eshoe The Faceshop results were such a nice surprise.... and I'm sure it's because of that horse oil ๐
I am wondering how much unique additives have to do with it, @Shosh85. If itโs something new to your skin, maybe it โwakes it upโ for what some masks call a โrejuvenatingโ ๐ค
Good results can make just about any mask worth the effort, @Shosh85! Glad to hear the zebra worked out in the end!
Thanks, @quspork! I can definitely look past the fit and material for these great results! ๐๐
Always nice when a mask exceeds your expectations @Shosh85 ! Youโre a lovely zebra!
It sure is! Thank you, @missjeanie! ๐
@byme4u Haha! Well I do liked to be called Queen, but I think all of us on here are Queens! ๐ It is definitely very fitting to put horse fat in a Zebra mask! I've only tried 1 or 2 horse fat masks, but so far they've been great! ๐๐
The zebra mask is so cute @Shosh85 ! Glad you enjoyed your masks.
Thank you so much, @divaknits! They were all so great! ๐
