Yay for a couple of winners, @Kim888! It's always nice when a multi-step mask works out well.
Wow two A + masks! What luck! Those Meg masks are on my list. Something about the packaging speaks to me. The fact that it’s a jelly mask just makes it more appealing:). @Kim888
@Kim888 Wonderful to hear that these worked so well for you! I have the Meg mask set aside for this weekend!
@Kim888 So happy you liked both of these! I'm always excited to hear about a 3 step mask that worked well, because it seems more often than not they don't turn out well! I love the Missha brand and seems to be consistently good!
The Meg masks sounds wonderful! I almost tried it once but realized it was expired right as I was opening it! Definitely sounds like one I need to track down again! Thanks for the review, I'm glad you enjoyed it! 🙌🤗
@Kim888, ahhh, I’m excited that Missha 3-step earns a Kim888 A+ 😍 - I’m definitely going to have to sort through my masks to find it. 💗 I set aside the Meg Jelly Mask for this week but it looks like I’ll have to use it another day because my skin is still a little sensitive from a peel (thankfully the flaking has finally stopped! 😂) and I’m holding off on trying new exfoliants for another week, just to be safe. Definitely looking forward to using this one. 😃
M is for moisture and the scent of blueberry is divine. I found this masks the other day and I decided to try it out. I was hoping that it smells like blueberries which it did. the scent was definitely a blueberry scents that I would recognize and instantly fell in love. the fit on this mask was not the best, it was a tad thicker and there were parts of my face wear the mask kept bubbling up. But the scent was so wonderful I didn't even care. I kept this mask on for 20 minutes after removing the mask I did Pat in the extra serum. my skin felt so silky and it did have a healthy glow to it. this is a mask I would seek out even with the ill fit. it gets an A- due to the ill-fitting.next step is the cold brew mask from the creme shop. I'm a little disappointed in this mask because I absolutely love the scent of it I just recently realize that alcohol denat is very high up on the ingredients which I hate. I have a couple extra and I'm trying to use them up and not repurchase again. I left this masks on only for 10 minutes due to the alcohol. after removing I actually wiped off most of the serum to avoid and oil outbreak. this mess gets a C due to the alcohol but the fit is great in the scent is wonderful. I hope one day they can change the ingredients and get the alcohol removed.
@lmaster the It's Skin Blueberry mask sounds wonderful! I don't think I've tried any from that brand, but I'm really intrigued by the scent. Thanks for the review (and the heads up on the Cold Brew;) )
Oh it was a pleasant surprise @eshoe I honestly wasnt expecting such an accurate blueberry scent 😍
So glad the blueberry one worked out for you, @lmaster! I've tried a couple of It's Skin masks before but I don't think I've tried that one, so I'll have to add it to the list!
@quspork if you like blueberry scented anything you will love it 😉
The blueberry mask sounds fantastic @lmaster!
@lmasterI'm such a sucker for a nice fruity scent that I'd forgive the bad fit as well. Glad you still got to enjoy a bit of the cold-brew!
@missjeanie you know it really just depends on that particular mask. some that don't have a sense and fit terrible I won't repurchase but this one the blueberry scent was just so good
@heartsmyface I can't wait to hear how the fit works on you. the scent is just so yummy I really really love blueberry! I hope you do too 😍
@lmaster The blueberry mask sounds soo good! I can usually look past a bad fit if everything else is great! Glad you enjoyed it!
I actually really enjoy that Creme Shop mask! It's definitely too bad it has a high alcohol content, but so far it hasn't given me a negative reaction, even when wearing longer than suggested. It's one of the few masks I use with alcohol – but I definitely try and limit it! The scent on it is just so good! Haha! ☕️ I know we have pretty much opposite skin types, so it's good you're being careful with your usage of it! 😉👍
Yeah @Shosh85 I'm thinking I'll use the ones I have and or receive with alcohol, just not wear them as long. I know from the mask subs I have found a few that had alcohol 🙄 but the blueberry mask had me think of you and the past mask you used that did not smell of blueberry! This one was awesome!
Blueberries...yum!!! 💙 I’ve had good experiences with the It’s Skin sheet masks from that line @lmaster! 😀 Good to hear this one worked out for you and that it smells like blueberries!
I was so excited that it does have a blueberry scent @itsfi 😆
