That would be an excellent masking duel @cianni! 🤺🤺 Masking duels are fun and a great way to compare products; using one mask on one half of the face and another mask on the other is a good way of seeing how they perform. Whenever I’ve done that, the hardest part for me is remembering which mask I put on which side! LOL! 😆😆
Awww, that story about the groundhog and your nails is so cute. 💗💗
@byme4u right! The crazy weather has really thrown my skin for a loop😩 Time to keep thinking springy thoughts ❤️☀️🌷🌻🌾
Oh, this sounds nice, @cianni. I love their hand cream, so I'm not surprised to hear the face mask is good as well. Not-masking-related, your nails are gorgeous!
@quspork thank you!! I have a bunch of hand creams as well and they’re so good! Plus I find them all the time at winners/Marshall’s and Nordstrom rack 😉
Thanks for your thoughts on this @cianni! I think I have a trial size of it.
@veronika23 Is the packaging blue? I picked this up at winners but when I go to the product page on Sephora, the packaging is different. I’m wondering if it’s a branding change or if the formula is different too 🤔
@cianni it's actually one of those giant foil type things... One that you can get a few uses out of. The bottle pictured on it is beige though. I wonder if they changed the formula from what you have or if it was just the packaging...
Fresh Pressed Vitamin B Mask. @eshoe did a review on this one not long ago, and I'd have to say I agree with her review.... this one's definitely not the most pleasant mask I've tried 😳😬
Sweet Chef Kale & Vitamin B Fresh Pressed Sheet Mask
This is a cotton sheet mask of medium thickness, with a couple cute little pictures on it. It is soaked in a creamy milky serum, that has a not-so pleasant scent. It's hard to pinpoint this one, but to me, it smells sort of stale. I don't really smell Kale, maybe just a hint, I guess – but if anything it'd be comparable to stale, moldy Kale. It was a fairly light scent, so not too unbearable that I couldn't wear the mask. Everything about the fit was off – too long at the chin and forehead, too short width-wise, the eye holes were a tad too small, the nose flap was a bit too long, and the mouth hole was positioned too far down and didn't line up with my mouth. I had to scrunch up the mask a bit to make the mouth hole line up right. The fit of it wasn't fun, but the milky serum did feel soothing on my skin. I managed to keep the mask on for about 40 minutes – I could've kept it on longer, because of how saturated it was, but I was ready to be done with it. When I removed it, my face was covered with serum, but felt very refreshed. I massaged the serum into my skin and it wasn't sticky or tacky at all. It didn't take long for it all to absorb, and when it did my face felt silky smooth, comfortably hydrated and had a really nice glow. So this one gave excellent results, but because of the horrible fit and unpleasant smell, I can't see myself ever using this one again – this one gets a C.
Ingredients:
I took a picture of the mask on before adjusting the mouth and chin length. So click here👇 for a good laugh 😂
@sonnydee Hahaha! I'm genuinely happy I made you laugh! I know I cracked myself up! 😂😂😆😆
😂😂😂 @Shosh85 ! Sorry about the fit ! I wonder what they use as a model for their masks? 🦍🦒 ? It must have smelled awful too ! Stale kale doesn’t sound so good! You’re a great sport to have included a picture of you with the mask on! I’m still laughing 😂!
@keana1 Apparently, it's not tested on animals.... but I'm not so sure if I can trust that statement! 🤔😂 haha! I'm still laughing at myself! 😆
I’m still laughing @Shosh85 ! I think they used my paternal grandfather as a model, he reminded me of an orangutan! ( he was a mean old man!, sorry about that comment, it just had to come out of my mouth through my fingers ! )
@keana1 I'm sorry he was a mean old man – sounds like he deserved to look like an Orangutan! Glad I could make you laugh! 😊
I’m still laughing @Shosh85 ! Your picture is engraved in my head! 😂
@keana1 I hope you have good dreams tonight! 😂
@Shosh85 Oh gosh, that's the worse!! Maybe it would fit this!!😉
@yankeefaithful Hahaha! 😆 That's pretty darn close!! I just made a comment that it probably could fit a horse! 😂😂🐴🐎
