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:
@quspork I'm pretty sure this is my first ACV face mask and next I'd like to try a ACV hair mask - I've heard those are great too! 😃 I really wish B&BW would keep their masks around longer - there are definitely a few I'd love to use again! 😢
@Shosh85 Too bad about the fit. But it’s great you saw results!!!
Thanks, @ather! The fit is never a deal breaker for me, especially when the results are great! 😃👍
@Shosh85 I agree. As long as I can breathe I don’t care lol
Awwww man @Shosh85 just my luck!! Sounds great 👍 hate the smell, but love the benefits of ACV
@lmaster I definitely don't love the smell either, so I'm happy it didn't resemble vinegar at all 😉 .... I was a little worried it might, so I let this one sit in my closet a while😂
My store only carries the ones I don’t need/want @Shosh85. Tons of lip and exfoliating foot masks. I wonder if they just decided not to sell them anymore, which is really too bad!
@eshoe I think they come out with new masks every season or so. I just keep hoping they'll bring back some of the old ones like they do with their other "retired" products.
Nice @Shosh85 ! I definitely think apple cider vinegar is having it’s moment !
@Kim888 It really is! I've been super curious to try an apple cider vinegar hair mask 😉
@Shosh85 it's nice when a mask is flexible enough to smoosh around and make fit and it actually stays. Results sound great.
Yes! It's nice when an okay fit can be fixed by smooshing @Shosh85! I wish they did sell more since you like it. I guess there are plenty of other masks out there though. 🙂
@ShortErica Yup, that's definitely true, there are plenty of masks out there! - (including all the ones sitting in my closet I still haven't tried yet) 😉😂
Owning masks you haven't tried - I don't believe it @Shosh85! 🤣
Besides the fit it sounds fantastic! @Shosh85 Glad you got to try it.
@l8totheparty It really was great! I just wish B&BW would sell some of their old masks again. 😬
@Shosh85 I never knew that B&BW made masks before- I learn something new everyday. 😊
Happy new year!!! Okay I don’t know what’s up with my posts being consistently deleted in this one thread. It’s really making me not want to write out reviews anymore. These were both Bs.
I'm sorry you're having posting issues, @heartsmyface. It's shame posts keep disappearing for so many of us!
@heartsmyface Second one is super cute too bad they are just bs
Sorry you are having such a hard time posting!! @heartsmyface wonder what the issue is!!
