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:
I picked up this box too, @GalPalVal17! What a good point; prints would really make the LE holiday masks stand out. But yes to no tack!
Those are super cute! I agree, I want designs on the masks too @GalPalVal17! Glad these were good for you.
@GalPalVal17 This is such a cute pair of masks and perfect for the holidays!
It definitely would be a cute a little bonus if the mask matched the packaging! ๐
Starting off the New Year with
A for #AfterParty ๐ฅณ
BioBelle #AfterParty Blueberries & Yogurt Sheet Mask
This is a thin tencel sheet mask that was drenched with serum and had an imitation blueberry kind of scent - probably not the best blueberry scented mask I've smelled, but it was fine and not very noticeable while the mask was on. The fit was great and was just a little too long at the chin. The adherence was ok, but the chin area didn't to want to stay down. I kept it on for about 25 minutes. After removing the mask, the remaining serum absorbed very quickly. It left behind some tackiness that took only about 10 minutes to absorb. My face looked a little brighter, felt comfortably hydrated and my skin felt soft and smooth.
This was another great BioBelle mask and I would definitely use again. I'll have to check my notes, but I'm pretty sure this isn't the best BioBelle mask I've tried, and it didn't really blow away, so I probably wouldn't repurchase...... maybe if there was a good deal ๐
@Shosh85 Got to hear it wasnโt the worst. Blueberry is my fav scent so itโs good to know it wasnโt horrible.
@ather Not a bad one by any means, just nothing impressive ๐
Nice themed-masking @Shosh85! A little off in a few places, but hey, better than breakouts, redness or irritation ๐๐ผ on to greener pastures;)
@eshoe Yes, definitely not a bad mask at all! ๐๐
Sounds like a good mask to start the new year @Shosh85! Glad it didn't disappoint. And probably good for the mask collection that you don't need to run out and buy more. ๐
@ShortErica Yeah, my list of mask purchases and repurchases is definitely long enough!
I wouldn't say I've loved every BioBelle mask I've tried, but there's also never been one I haven't liked, so that's something ๐
@Shosh85 sounds like a good mask. I recently found that I have one in my stash but don't remember which. I think overall these masks have gotten pretty good reviews. Look forward to trying the one I have.
@GalPalVal17 In my opinion the original tencel masks are better than the new fruity ones that have recently come out. The new ones are still good- they're cute and smell good and have decent results, but the tencel material they use in their original masks seem so much better in comparison.
@Shosh85 this one is not coming to my memory, so either I have not tried it yet, or maybe it just was ok, thanks for the cute presentation of an after-party!!
@lmaster I'd definitely describe this as a good-but-forgettable kind of mask. Still haven't tried a BioBelle mask I didn't like though! ๐
Itโs official! My last masking session of this decade. Even though I havent posted often lately, I still pop in to see what all you are up to!!
In the theme of starting fresh for the new year, Iโm using the Tata Harper Resurfacing BHA Mask for Brightening and Dark Spots 1 oz/ 30 mL ! It actually fits with this weeks official theme, as 2019 was the first year I tried this (and actually the first year I tried any Tata Harper!) I hadnโt used actives in a few days (the holidays really messed up my schedule!), so I figured may as well use this kind of mask! I was going to use the PTR pumpkin enzyme, but sometimes that irritates my skin a touch, and I know illl be putting on makeup for tonight so I didnโt want to risk it.
Great mask choice!!!
Pop in more @cianni! Though I know what you mean and tend to read some threads more than post in them.
Sounds like a great masking session to end the year with! ๐ @cianni
Very nice combo @cianni, happy to hear the TH did not cause any redness or irritation. Happy New Year to you!
