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:
Remind me again @Shosh85, are you more a fan of the older version of the Ceramide mask or the new formulation?
@itsfi I actually did a battle comparing the two a while back! I think that they are very similar and would buy and use them both, but I did like the new one just a smidge better, mostly because the hydration seemed to be better/longer lasting.
I thought you liked the new formulation more @Shosh85.
@Shosh85 I love the cream version of this. So I can imagine the mask would be wonderful!!
@ather I love the cream too! I pretty much love everything in the Cicapair and Ceramidin lines though 😃👍
The sheets sound like you didn't really care too much for them, the CT mask,, has me very curious @Kim888
So nice to hear about the Charlotte Tilbury mask, I'd been wanting to try it for a while, but wasn't sure about the brands non makeup products. Will definitely be tempted to pick up the mini, thanks for the recommendation @Kim888!
A slit in the nose area, @Kim888 😶 I wonder... why?
I’ve been using the Charlotte Tilbury Goddess Clay Mask 2.54 oz/ 75 mL and now I need to pay closer attention to how it affects my pores. It has such a unique scent, a little earthy but quite different.
@Kim888 I agree cucumbers and peppermint is odd. I don’t know if I would love that.
A menthol scented cucumber sheet mask @Kim888? At first I saw comments about a minty scent and my knee jerk reaction was “maybe it smells like cucumber mint mojito?” That would have been a better scent. Too bad about the Dermal mask - they seem to be a hit or miss with people. On the other hand, lots of good things have been said about the CT mask; it’s on my list of things to try after I’ve made more of a dent to my stash of clay masks. 😉
@Kim888 The minty scent in the cucumber mask threw me off too - definitely not a combo you'd expect! 😃🤔
I really need to try the CT mask sometime! I always hear such good things about it and have been eyeing that mini size since it came out! 👀😉
The mint scent would have thrown me on a cucumber mask too @Kim888
Always love hearing about mini options for masks @Kim888 - thanks for sharing! Too bad about the two sheet masks though. The scent would definitely get me on the first one - no good!
Here are the last 3 masks I've used for theme makes me hungry 😋
Ingredients
Next up is candy o lady
Ingredients
Finally tonymoly peach
Ingredients
What a lineup of masks @lmaster. I agree; they definitely make me hungry. My experience is that it’s hard to go wrong with Leaders sheet mask and the ones from Candy O Lady that I’ve used have been good. The masks in that TonyMoly line are very hit or miss for me.
@itsfi I've found that also with this line of tonymoly, I believe two of these are great and I can get past the thickness
Is the issue with the thickness the adherence @lmaster?
I didn't see much of results at all and the thickness is a major dislike @itsfi
Got it @lmaster. I asked about the thickness because I wondered if a mask holder like SEPHORA COLLECTION Keep on Masking Face Mask Holder would have helped make the TM mask a little more enjoyable, but I understand. Some masks just are going to be “meh” or passes.
