@missjeanie Thats a good solid number! For the sake of making you feel better, I will count mine...... we'll see how long this takes ๐ stay tuned
This I'm counting on being at least double mine @Shosh85 ! lol
@missjeanie Haha, maybe at one point, but I did just go on a 3 month no-buy and I've been masking almost daily, so it did dwindle down a little ๐
I'm feeling better just knowing it was once double @Shosh85 !
@missjeanie Haha! Good! ๐ Ok, here it goes......the final number is 678. So we're actually pretty close! Good thing I went on a no-buy for awhile and also gifted a bunch. Whew! Haha!
That's strictly just face sheet masks. I haven't counted any of my other masks yet, but I do know I have 1 butt mask ๐ @ShortErica
Wow, @Shosh85 that's pretty good. I totally thought your collection would have been closer to 1000! I didn't count the other various body part masks either. That's just too involved for me lol
@missjeanie Well, I'm pretty positive there was that much at one point...... but then I gifted out a ton to like 5 different people at once, then went on a 3 month no-buy and I'm masking almost daily - so I think that all that helped ๐๐
@missjeanie @Shosh85 whoa whoa whoa.... you count masks you were gifted or plan to gift? ๐ฒ Because ummm, I donโt count those ... or the ones that I keep in case of an emergency - you know, the ones I keep around if for some reason I canโt find the mask my skin needs among the 127 sheet masks in my bin... Hahaha! ๐๐คฃ๐ I know, I know; my rules for counting are awfully convenient. ๐โบ๏ธ๐
@missjeanie I feel like anything gifted to me counts, so I did include that. I have a pile I'm hoping to send out to people, and a pile that I've set aside to use this week and next that I didn't count. So @itsfi, have you counted yours? @ShortErica
@Shosh85 I count gifted ones. I have three columns in my spreadsheet to calculate my mask stash - Amount (usually 1, 5, or 10 depending on if it was gifted or I bought a pack), Uses, and Shared. Sum(Amount - Uses - Shared) gives me the number of masks I own. So until the masks are out in the mail to others, I count them as part of my collection. @itsfi @missjeanie
Edited to add: until maybe spring of this year, if I didn't count gifted masks in my stash I would have had like 10! Yeah, cause it was in April when I gambled with Yadah and won and then was addicted to Marshalls/TJ Maxx.
@ShortErica I heart you and your spreadsheet love!
@itsfi lol oh man... I counted my Unicorn mail masks. And I counted any that I had still that I hadn't sent for future mails. I have a big pile with some post it names on them as I think of masks for people. I however need to do a send soon... The pile is piling up! I didn't count my boat masks or lake house masks... so I figure we've all got a little leeway going on! lol
@ShortErica Right?! Haha ๐ I need to find a time I can do it without the boys around ๐
Bedtime @Shosh85 and hopefully no one wakes up!
I'll give you an exact later but my sheet masks were hovering around 250 between using and then buying 10 packs @missjeanie
Hopefully this makes you feel a bit better. I may not be quite up to your level but I've got more than one face needs.
You really took inventory @ShortErica !! I bought another 10 pack today. dope. I guess I'm up to 623 now. But I plan to give away lots of the ones I got today!! lol. Your collection sure has grown over this year too! This thread created monsters!
I think I know a few enablers to blame @missjeanie ๐ค
@ShortErica That is quite a thorough count! Love it! Thanks for sharing ๐ I'll be counting mine soon, but I'll start with the sheet masks first ๐ฌ
I is for Icing
This morning I used AโPieu icing sweet bar mask pack. It was a thin sheet that had a very strong orange scent. It was dripping with serum. The fit was pretty good I only had to make small adjustments to the eye holes. I left it on for 25 minutes and there was still plenty of serum left to massage into my face and neck. It absorbed nicely and had minimal tackiness. My face did look brighter and felt hydrated. I would definitely use this one again.
