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
Very interesting which ones flipped around from the scent ratings to the overall ratings @Shosh85. Thanks for doing all 7!
@ShortErica These were super hard to rank and I kinda feel like a lot of them really tied with each other. When deciding rankings I try to take into account everything, but mostly results and scent. The Watermelon one has a great scent and nice results, which is why it got first place. The Charcoal one didn't have the greatest scent and the results were the least impressive of them all, so it got last place. ๐
Did the mentol scent bother your eyes any @Shosh85 ?
@emaisgr8 My eyes did water a little at first, but my eyes are kinda sensitive and watery all the time so I just assumed it was a "me" thing
I totally agree with your fit assessment @Shosh85.
@PrettyPaint It always seems strange to me when masks from the same line fit differently- It just seems like they'd use the same template for each one ๐ค
@Shosh85 I had assumed that as well, so I was so surprised to find such major differences in this look at me line.
This one sounds nice, @Shosh85 - maybe a good one to have on hand when youโre sick with a coldโบ๏ธ
@eshoe Definitely! Next time I have a cold I'll have to try it out - it does seem to clear out the nostrils well ๐๐
The Look At Me masks sounded like they were generally good overall for everyone who tried them this week @Shosh85! I'm so sorry your notes disappeared - it's so frustrating when that happens, especially since I know the time and effort you put into your posts. Your rankings are helpful. I have a feeling that the watermelon one is going to hold the top spot with a lot of folks.
@itsfi These were definitely hard to rank and the only two I was 100% sure about was first and last place. ๐ I wouldn't say these mask are super amazing, but they are great for the price ๐ I'm glad I went with my gut and bought 2 boxes of the watermelon one! ๐๐
Alright, y'all, need some recommendations for an amazing foot peeling mask. Now that summer's over and I'm not going barefoot (didn't want to show off my yucky peely feet, lol) I really want to try a fairly intense foot mask to try and resurface my feet and get rid of some calluses--give me your best suggestions!
Out of all the ones that I've tried, I've had the best results from the original Babyfoot. It's a touch more expensive, but I just can't argue with good results! @CookieGirl1
Thanks, @quspork! Which others have you tried (just for comparison)?
Let's see... I've done Boscia (which was decent), TonyMoly (just ok), and Starskin (definitely the worst). I feel like there's one more, but I can't remember which one it was... @CookieGirl1
@CookieGirl1 I did this one. It was fine but I'd say go with one of the others recommended. Also wearing them longer (but maybe not sleeping in them - haha @lmaster) helps too.
Patchology produced great results for me, but I haven't tried the others. @CookieGirl1
Thanks, @l8totheparty! I feel like I've had good luck with some of Patchology's other masks so I appreciate the rec :).
@CookieGirl1, the Baby Foot peel has been a staple for me. Itโs on the pricier side so itโs an once a year peek for me. Iโve heard good things about the TonyMoly, Patchology and Whole Foods peels.
