The Tony Moly fresh to go grape mask is so nice and grape koolaidy. The mask confirms well and is dripping with a thin slick serum. I don’t really need pore tightening so couldn’t tell you if it works but it leaves my skin feeling moisturized after a grapey 20 minutes so I am happy:). It gets an A- cause I had to tear the eye holes wider.
The Honey & Milk looks like a gloss @heartsmyface? Looks interesting...
Well... now I need to go pick up some grape kool-aid! Sounds like a fun mask @heartsmyface !
@heartsmyface I recently tried the Cucumber one from this line and really enjoyed it! I still have the Grape and Pineapple ones to try, but am trying to space out the masks I use with alcohol! I'm excited to try the grape one now! The scent sounds delicious!
The TonyMoly grape looks good; I've seen the aloe one in a Kbeauty store and have wondered about it; I may have to keep an eye out for the grape one. Ohhh @heartsmyface, is that the A'Pieu Honey & Milk Lip Oil???!!! 🙂 I picked up the lip scrub and balm because the lip oil was OOS at the time. That lip oil looks so moisturizing. How do you feel about it?
adding this to my list @heartsmyface I love grape-y masks!
Disappointing results from the Rahua, @itsfi. I do like the fennel-like scent in their products, but for the price, need a lot more than a pretty scent!
Oh, it’s fennel! Interesting! Thanks @eshoe. Yeah, the Rahua mask is probably not a FS purchase for me.
I think I kinda like the weird bits sometimes in jar masks. Gives me a bit of a scrubby feeling, though this one makes me think it'd be super sticky and need to be reserved as a shower off type of mask like you did @itsfi . Something about the fresh line just appeals to me.
There are a lot of people who like this mask. The sticky gooey clumps were just not for me @missjeanie! Other than that, the mask was very nice. I know what you mean about the Fresh line. They have a handful of products that I enjoy a lot! 🥰
@itsfi I've read several reviews on that Bano mask and I'm pretty sure they've all been positive! This one is on my list! Glad you enjoyed it!
The Fresh mask smells delicious! I'm not too keen on the fruit chunks either, but I agree the results are pretty good! @eshoe, @lmaster and I were just discussing that name thing. It's weird how the tagged name is different than the actual name of the product 🤔
@Shosh85, the Bano is a nice one; am interested in trying the other varieties in the line! Yeah, the way the Fresh mask is listed is weird; at first, I thought there was a rename and packaging redesign, but nope; it just shows up as Vitamin C Glow Mask.
So many lovely masks, @itsfi! Chunks of ingredients don't usually bother me too much in masks, so I might have to try out the Fresh given the results. I can definitely understand not wanting to deal with them though since they can be a pain to remove sometimes.
@quspork, the fruit bits are the only thing about the Fresh mask that don't agree with me so if you're fine with them, I definitely think you should try the mask out. The results really are good, and it does smell really nice! 🙂
@byme4u, I like the SuperMud over the YouthMud too for that reason. I can tolerate the bits in the YouthMud more than the Fresh because I use the YouthMud more as a spot treatment and not all over. Yes, physical exfoliating beads are fine but I'm always concerned that the larger bits will fall off around the house or will get stuck in my hair, etc.
May Lindstrom and Mud. These are pictured together but did one in the AM and one in the PM. Just didn't want to photograph one little sample all by itself. 😉
The Honey Mud 👇
May Lindstrom The Honey Mud
The directions state this can be used as a cleanser or an enzyme mask – I decided to try it as a mask. It is light-brown/beige color and has soft and creamy consistency. My first impression of the scent was that it was a little strange, not really bad at all, just kinda different. To me it kinda smells like raw honey and black licorice. It felt soothing as I spread it on my dry skin and it didn't really harden, it just kinda set up really sticky. Removal of it was pretty easy – after about 10 minutes I used warm water and massaged it in with my fingers as I rinsed it off and it turned into a very nice silky, milky consistency. My face looked brighter, had a less dull appearance and felt very soft and smooth. The hydration from this wasn't great, but also not bad considering it's a mud mask and my face usually gets uncomfortably dry from them. I liked this mask, and would use again, but not so sure it's wowing enough to buy the $90 full size jar. I think I'd give this an A-

B&BW Mud Mask 👇
Bath & Body Works Mud Mask
This is a brown, two-peice cotton sheet mud mask that comes sandwiched between two protective layers. The mask itself is pretty sticky and once it's on, there's not much moving around it'll do – I also got the brown "mud" all over my fingers when trying to place it. It had a nice fit – just not wide enough and the nose flap was a bit too long (just snipped a little off the end) The scent is the best part.... it smells like CHOCOLATE! I could smell it right when I opened the package. It was sooo good! It felt like I was wearing a sheet of chocolate on my face – I even almost licked my fingers after placing the mask! Haha! If any of you have ever used the Perricone MD Cocoa moisture mask, it smelled exactly like that. I removed the mask after about a half hour, when it started feeling dry/less sticky and felt stiff to the point it was hard to move my face around. It dried up so stiff, removing it was almost like removing a peel-off mask, just not as painful. There was some dried "mud" leftover on my face that I rinsed off easily with warm water. My complexion looked brighter and clearer, my skin felt soooo soft and I had a nice glow! I also felt a little dry afterward and had to place moisturizer right away, but I usually expect that with mud/clay type masks. The mask was fun to use, smelled amazing and gave pretty great results! If Bath & Body Works was still selling this mask I would definitely use it again! I give this an A grade.

Sounds like you've had some great masks from B&BW @Shosh85 . Do you find that as a brand they're pretty reliable across the board? Chocolate sounds super yummy, I'll have to keep an eye out for another yummy one, they have a lot of yummy scents, there will surely be another yummy mask to come!
@missjeanie The Mud Mask was sooo good! I would say the B&BW masks I have tried have all been pretty good! I just wish they weren't seasonal! 🙁
