@lmaster Wow, I love the way you describe the smell on this one. Hopefully I haven't asked this already, but where do you purchase these at? I don't think I've seen them around.
@PrettyPaint I get a subscription called facetory it comes monthly with 7 different masks
This was a nice one, @lmaster! I couldnโt place the scent and now I canโt remember it except that it wasnโt Ginseng. Fruity raspberry sounds about right;)
@eshoe it was a great mask! Super happy to have tried it
@lmaster ohhh that looks really nice! Love the raspberry scent and it sounds like it worked great as well!
@Kim888 it definitely reminded me of berry, I was pleasantly surprised!
A ginseng mask that smells like raspberries @lmaster? Now Iโm even more intrigued by this mask. ๐ค It sounded interesting when I first read @GalPalVal17โs post on it; hmmm... may have to see if thereโs a variety or sample pack of her masks but after Iโve done some more chipping away at my own mask stash. ๐
That's my take on it @itsfi ๐ I smelled it a few times, and I'm locked in on raspberry/ berry scent, haha! I loved it!
Love Lovemore masks! They are really nice for a luxe masking feel, @itsfi!
I can't wait to try out the other masks from this brand @quspork! I have a feeling that Lovemore will be one of the sheet mask brands that I consider top tier as far as fave brands go for me.
@itsfi Oh my goodness, that mask sounds lovely! 100% silk? I didn't know such a mask existed! ๐ I'll be checking out this brand for sure. And thanks for the helpful application tips - I love reading stuff like this. Glad the balm works well too. I just picked one of these up from the ulta deals, though I think I got the mint flavor.
It was such a beautiful mask @PrettyPaint! Highly recommend these Lovemore masks! ๐ Of course, there's a mint flavor of the Mario Badescu balm - I need to look up what other flavors they have... because...you know, I just don't have enough lip balms. hahaha!
This does sound like a beautiful mask, @itsfi. I appreciate the tips on application, sometimes Iโm unsure which side to apply when there are two protective sheets.
Loofah is an interesting ingredient, I think this is a first for my eyes!
@eshoe, I usually take off both protective layers and just unfold and apply the mask that way but this one was so thin I knew Iโd get it twisted and tangled if I went that route. Different ways to go about it; this one worked for me for this sheet mask. ๐
@lmaster, itโs so soft, thin and comfortable to wear. Thereโs a rose mask from the line that made me think it might be something youโd like. Will let you know how that one works out. Right now, Iโm aiming to use that mask during โRโ week next month.
@itsfi that sounds so wonderful! And relaxing ๐
LookAtMe #7
Look At Me Green Blend Tea Tree + Cucumber Face Mask
This is a thin tencel sheet mask that was saturated with a slimy gel-type of serum. The scent sorta smelled like a mix of tea tree and menthol and seemed a little strong when taking it out of the package, but faded a bit after putting it on. The fit was okay - it was a little too long at the chin and just slightly too wide between the eyes. I kept it on for about 35 minutes. When I removed it, the serum leftover was just slightly tacky and absorbed after about 15 minutes. My face felt so refreshed and soothed. The redness I had faded quite a bit and my face looked a little brighter. My skin felt nicely hydrated and was so soft & smooth.
I really enjoyed this one! The scent wasn't what I was expecting, but still turned out fine and the results were great. ๐I don't think I'll have a problem using these up!
Comparisons/rankings: (I had written out a longer, more detailed version, but somehow it vanished from my notes ๐ฌ)
Scent:
#1) Watermelon: watermelon jolly rancher
#2) Aloe Vera: light aloe
#3)Guacamole: fresh & clean
#4)Charcoal: soapy and fresh & clean
#5) Collagen: floral with maybe a hint of sweetness
#6) Snail + Green Tea: floral with maaaybe a hint of green tea, but it was mostly floral
#7) Tea Tree + Cucumber: Menthol and Tea tree
Fit: They all pretty much had the same kinda fit, but I'd say the Collagen one seemed to have smaller mouth and eye holes than the others did - so I'd rate that as the worst fit. The Charcoal mask had the best fit and also was the most comfortable.
Overall:
#1) Watermelon
#2) Guacamole
#3) Best Friend
#4) Green Blend
#5) Aloe
#6) Collagen
#7) Charcoal
