It's definitely worth the extra time @GalPalVal17 I'm very happy @Shosh85 decided to give it a try
@ShortErica I know everyday you will make me laugh!! 😘😉
Good! Laughter is the best medicine @lmaster so let's stay healthy!
@lmaster awesome - that's for rereviewng - always great when you make something work that didn't!
@Kim888 I'm so glad @Shosh85 used this mask right after me, she definitely figured out the key to making it work 🙌
Wow! So great you could immediately see a brightening effect @lmaster
@PrettyPaint thank you! It was so nice the second time around 😉
Oh good to know it can be left on longer without adverse results. haha, I remember doing a Radical peeling bubble mask and accidentally leaving it on for fifteen minutes when it should have been two or three. My face was so red! @lmaster
@heartsmyface oh wow, well, in that case I'm glad I only left it on for 3 minutes the first time 😆
@CookieGirl1 3 minutes was not long enough for my skin to get any benefits from this mask, but the lovely @Shosh85 showed me that longer wear time with this mask is extremely beneficial
I'm happy it worked for you the 2nd time around! @lmaster
@l8totheparty that's the great thing about reviews on Bic 😉 you can learn from others experience
So great to hear that you found a way to make this mask work for you @lmaster, and I love your connections to Y week! Yessss!!
Haha @itsfi this is definitely a great mask, after tweaking the time, it works very well thanks!!
@lmaster so glad it worked the second time. I need to try this!!
I think for someone who does not use acids regularly, following the instructions would be ideal for a first use, but 15-20 min is perfect for me @ather
Week 25 - June 17 - 23 - Y - Yadah Week
For my 2nd Yadah, I picked the Yadah All Day Collagen Mask. When I tried the 3 All Day ones I scored from Marshall's, this was my favorite though all were good.
The first thing I noticed out of the package was the scent. It wasn't super strong but I smelled something vs. nothing from yesterday. It was generic mask smell to me and slight/moderate. I'll just comment now as opposed to later that I didn't smell anything while wearing it.
My face:
Fit was good but let's compare to yesterday. This one was better around the forehead by being a bit longer. But the philtrum area was a bit longer across. The mouth area also needed more smooshing. The material on this is tencel vs. that one said bamboo charcoal. I would say this one was a bit thinner but both were comfortable to wear.
I wore this for 35 minutes. The nose and philtrum were pretty dry while the mouth and some bits on the outside were wet. Removing the mask, my face looked nice. I felt it was more plump and my nose lines were practically gone. It helped a little with my forehead lines but it is no miracle worker. My skin also seemed brighter. I had the no/at most a slight tack from the mask.
The excess serum was nice. I did an additional layer on my face, all over my neck, up and down my arms and hands and even a little on my belly. What the heck!
A rating though I'm kinda torn on what I like more. So let's start my ranking compilation (tagging @missjeanie)
For reference and succinctness (bold are used so far): All Day Aloe (ADA), All Day Collagen (ADC), All Day Rose (ADR), Collagen (C), Pore Care (PC)
Serum level: ADC = PC
Material: ADC > PC (I'm debating, they could be equal)
Fit: PC > ADC
Scent: PC > ADC
Wear time: ADC = PC (the PC had more wetness around the border but was drier in the center, both masks wouldn't be nice if kept on too long)
Tackiness: ADC = PC
Results: ? - I'm not sure, they were different results but both good, maybe I'll make a decision tomorrow
Extra serum in package: ADC > PC
Overall: TBD
Can you tell I'm loving Yadah week?!
I'm waiting for the ADC to dry completely and I plan to take a picture of the masks on top of one another. My gut from wearing them is the ADC is longer in the forehead, a bit wider, and maybe has a tad more in the chin area too.
Preview: compare the collagen - Yadah Collagen up next
@ShortErica Love the comparisons and your ranking system! I was thinking of doing the two Collagen masks for duel week, but decided to try as much Yadah as I can this week. I'm interested to see how similar those two are! Glad you're having a a fun Yadah week! 😃
