NEW!!! Got an idea for next year's challenge? Let me know! Was there a challenge you'd rather not repeat? Share below, so we can start building the 2021 schedule:
Oooooo @missjeanie that looks like a bit of chemical burn, be careful when putting your feet in hot water, they will be sensitive for a bit if it is a burn. Yikes! Do you have an aloe mask, or a soothing mask you could put some of the serum on those areas to help heal it
@lmaster , see... good thing I set an alarm! They actually feel fine today, a smidge of red just around a my ankles, Im guessing due to thinner skin. Aloe is a great idea though! Tonight I wrap my ankles in aloe sheet masks!!
I hope it doesn't get any worse @missjeanie oooo you know what else might be good to put in it,, the Peter Thomas Roth Rose Stem Cell Bio-Repair Gel Mask 5 oz
Even better idea @lmaster !! That giant tub I have will go bad before I can use it all anyhow!
Oh no!!! Hope it doesn't become super itchy. 😞 I know it gets messy and when it really started peeling I worked at it to remove all the dead skin in one go. It was gross but I had soft feet in the end. 😄 😄 😄 @missjeanie
I did one peel earlier this year and was strangely obsessed with checking on the peel once it started @veronika23 , but it didn’t itch the way this was earlier. Thankfully it hasn’t been itching much the last 6 hours or so. The instructions on this brand said an hour and I def over did that. Fingers crossed I don’t need mittens in my sleep lol!!
Oh oh ok. This is the brand I used. I hope it stays that way and doesn't start itching like crazy. @missjeanie
@missjeanie I can't wait to see how long it takes before peeling starts 😆
W is for "Wake me up!" and a BIC K-beauty fave
Got up early to pack and catch a flight – I really should have done it last night but was exhausted by the time I got in. Made a quick run to grab some coffee and thought I’d pair it with The Crème Shop Café Mocha Fusion Sheet Mask, an oldie but goodie among a few of the maskers here, including myself. Adherence was good and a few adjustments to the chin/jawline and corners of the eyes, nose and mouth did the trick for fit. I left the mask on for 30 minutes and was rewarded with hydrated skin and a light glow from within. (Magnet courtesy of the fabulous @veronika23!)
@itsfi I love that Creme Shop mask! I smells so good to me! It's one of the few masks with alcohol I will always continue purchase! Happy to hear you've enjoyed this one as well! 😃🙌☕️🍫
@Shosh85 this one smells so nice. ☕️ That says A LOT about this mask if it will always be a repeat repurchase for you despite the alcohol! 🤩
Ohh the one sheet mask that keeps eluding me! I've seen pretty much all of them at winners/marshalls but this one. I'm not giving up though! 😄 @itsfi
Don’t give up @veronika23. It WILL be yours!
@itsfi haha super cute magnet 🙂 Sounds like a great fusion mask from TCS. These are really lovely and even better cuz they yield pretty great results. Safe travels.
Thank you @GalPalVal17! 😃 Arrived safely and hit the ground running with work. Just got back to the hotel and am eyeing my masks and wondering what will be on the menu for tonight... 😉
That magnet is perfect in its simplicity @itsfi . I miss my coffee flavours masks. Might need to do a full coffee theme here someday soon! I’ll bet this one was perfect to go with your coffee so early in the morning!
Oh yes!!! Dooooo it @missjeanie!!! 🥰 A full coffee theme masking sesh would be amazing! ☕️💗💕
@itsfi that magnet is my life 😂 @veronika23
In gif form @lmaster. Complete with a wink. Lol 😆
