I'll keep you posted @Shosh85. I'm pretty sure I'll get more than 2.5 uses out of this bottle.
@itsfi Honey hair mask sounds amazing. I love your idea of using facial roller on top of sheet masks and I’m totally gonna try it next time I’m doing a sheet mask.
@fatimamummy,using the roller over a sheet mask helps the essence absorb in and it saves a lot of time too. Before I would wait until after using a sheet mask to use the roller. Makes the time go by more quickly as well. ☺️
The Honey hair mask sounds delightful, @itsfi! Can't resist that adorable packqging, too. I like that it's in a bottle rather than the tub, I'm always fearful of dropping the container and losing product!
@bakeamuffin, the bottle packaging is so much more convenient. Hard to resist the cute bear! 🐻
@itsfi Such a cute pic!!! Looks like an awesome masking night!
Thank you @ather! Lots of good stuff. The lip and hair masks smell amazing! 🥰
I am loving the honey Briogeo hair mask too @itsfi!
It’s sooo good @faeriegirl! 💛🍯 At first I thought it was LE so I had a couple in my cart. 😲 I see it’s not LE but exclusive to Sephora (or at least for now it seems to be), so there’s only one backup on the way. 🛒 Hahahaha! 🤣
@itsfi So much cuteness! 🙂 I'm so glad you had a "beary good time" - that made me laugh. I'm thinking that sheet mask probably wouldn't work too well for me if it's that large. Even with scissors, I never can quite make adequate adjustments with overly large masks. And I had never thought to use a roller on top of a sheet mask - such a good idea!!
Yeah @PrettyPaint, I couldn’t resist. 😌 Cute bear packaging + honey + one of my favorite hair masks brands. I was a goner the minute I saw a post about this one. 🛍 Yep, that willpower of mine is strong isn’t it?!! Lol. 😆
Well, it's been almost a full "M" week of @itsfi masks! Here are two more from the lovely lady 😉
The Faceshop The Solution Ceramide Moisturizing Sheet Mask
This is a super thin and transparent cotton sheet mask that was soaking with serum and had a rubbing alcohol kinda scent. The rubbing alcohol scent was tolerable enough, but definitely not my favorite scent or ingredient. After placing the mask the scent was definitely still there, but it was slightly lighter.It had a great fit and was only very slightly too wide at the temples. I took it off after about a half hour. The little bit of serum absorbed quick but left behind some tackiness that lasted about 20 minutes. My face felt refreshed, soft and smooth, moisturized and the hydration from it was long lasting.
This is one I'd probably not repurchase due to the alcohol content, but the results great.
The Faceshop MasCream Sheet
This is a medium thickness cotton sheet mask that was saturated with silky, milky serum and had a pleasant, clean and fresh scent. The fit was great - just a little long at the chin. It adhered very well and was super comfortable to wear. I took it off after about 40 minutes. After massaging in the leftover serum, my face was only very slightly tacky and it went away within minutes. My face felt refreshed, comfortably hydrated and soft & smooth.
I love how this turned out and I'd definitely purchase! Thanks for so many fantastic masks, Fi! 😊
Thanks, @ather! They both turned out great! 😃👍
@Shosh85, who knew I’d have so many “M” masks? 🤷🏻♀️😂 Probably the whole dehydrated / dry skin thing we have going on! 🤣 I think all the masks in The Solution line contain alcohol so I shall keep that in mind for you in the future. 😉 Looove that snail 🐌 MasCream sheet mask! ♥️ I learned about it from our fellow snail fan @keana1! 🥰 She gifted me one and I’ve made sure to keep ‘em in stock at the house ever since! ☺️
Love them snails ! 🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌🐌 @Shosh85, @itsfi ! Snail mucin is great for the skin and snails with garlic butter taste so good! ( it’s a French/French Canadian delicacy! along with frog legs and other weird things! )
@itsfi Thanks for making "M" week easy on me! I probably could've done the whole week with your Unicorn Mail, but felt like I needed to mix it up with a couple from my own stash. 😂
I had wanted to try The Solution masks for a long time, but never realized how high the alcohol was - so I'm glad they've still been turning out nice despite that!
I loved that MasCream mask and was even more excited about I when I saw there was snail in it! 🐌👌That milky serum is the best! I guess I should thank you and @keana1 for introducing me to this one! 👍
The faceshop mask sounds excellent @Shosh85!
@faeriegirl So far I've liked all The Faceshop masks I've tried! 👍 The MasCream one is probably my most favorite so far! 😃
@Shosh85 I didn't realize The Face Shop had so many masks. They both look really nice, though the second one looks especially appealing due to the fit and your description of silky, milky serum. It sounds quite luxurious! Glad you enjoyed it!
@PrettyPaint There definitely is a good variety of The Faceshop masks and I've liked all the ones I've tried so far! I sure do love that silky milky kind of serum - it always feels so soothing 👌
