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:
The mask packaging is adorable, @nuinui933! @heartsmyface has such a great knack for finding unique and interesting masks😊
@eshoe honey, honey and more honey love it!!
Come to think of it @lmaster, there isn’t a single bad reaction to honey I’ve seen here...or at least one I can recall. Just such really good stuff 🍯
@eshoe Oh yay! Haha, i still haven’t tried that mask myself! I picked them up in Germany and stashed them away 😄 I just liked that it was cloud shaped but now that I see its two hearts it’s even better!
I figured you must have found that mask far away, @heartsmyface - it was a challenge to find anything out about it online! Thanks again, you sent so many fun masks to try that are just about too pretty to use😆
Ooh, I love the packaging on the mask, @eshoe
And...waaaaaaiiiiittttt....you've got a nice little colour scheme going on! I see what you did there 😎
Yeah the packaging made me not want to use the mask, @l8totheparty. At least there are two, so I have the other one tucked away for when my skin needs a heavy dose of hydration.
@eshoe Love that Honey Potion and the LVLY mask sounds nice! The heart shaped packets are pretty cute. @heartsmyface has a knack for finding the most fun/unique masks! 😃👍
@Shosh85 She sure does! Its Fun to try new brands/no preconceptions😊
W for Watermelon: Purlisse Watermelon Energizing Sheet Mask. I totally am copying @lmaster because she just did this one, but it looked so nice that I had to try. This was actually gifted to me by @itsfi (thank you so much). This smelled so good (like watermelon) and was nice and refreshing. It was very comfortable to wear (just a bit large all over), and my skin felt extra smooth, soft, and moisturized after wearing it. I feel like the description on the packaging was quite true to the actual effects. Really enjoyed this one 🙂
@PrettyPaint love that this one smells like watermelon. So nice of @itsfi to send you this one.
Oh yes yes yes!! @PrettyPaint happy to hear you enjoyed it!!
@lmaster It was really hard not to like. 🙂 So enjoyable and soothing.
@PrettyPaint Glad you enjoyed this one! It's one of my favorites! Love that scent! 🍉😋
@Shosh85 It really is a lovely mask. I'm thinking of grabbing a few to have on hand. I think it will be especially great in the summer!
Yaaay @PrettyPaint! I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed this mask! It smells so good! It may be my favorite watermelon sheet mask now that I think about it. At least of all the watermelon sheet masks I've tried so far. 🙂
Thank you again @itsfi. Yes, the scent is just divine. If they bottled the scent as a fragrance/body spray, I'd definitely enjoy wearing it - especially during the summer.
@PrettyPaint, a fragrance or body spray would be amazing!! 🍉💗🍉💗
D is for Dewytree.... from the wonderful @eshoe 😊
Dewytree 3 Step Royal Snail Black Mask
The first step of this mask is a cleanser they call peeling foam. I don't really understand why they call it that though, because there's no peeling involved - unless there was some kind of chemical peeling happening that I wasn't aware of. It was white and creamy and had a very light, practically unnoticeable, clean and fresh scent. It foamed up nice and made my face feel clean and refreshed.
The second step is the activator ampoule. It is clear, has a gel-like consistency, and no scent that I could tell. I massaged it in and it soaked in nicely.
The third step is the mask. It is a medium thickness black cotton sheet mask that was drenched with plenty of serum and had a clean and fresh kind of scent. The mask fit good, though not as good as other black masks I've used. It was a little too long at the chin and the space between the eyes was just a little too wide. It adhered well and was comfortable to wear the 30 minutes I had it on. When I removed it my face felt refreshed and looked noticeably brighter. I massaged in the remaining serum and it left a slight stickiness, but went away in less than 10 minutes. My skin felt soft and smooth and a little more plump.
I usually try and avoid multiple-step masks, mostly because I'm lazy, but also because there's always at least one step I don't care for - but I actually liked all three in this one. This will be going on my repurchase list 😃
Heehee @Shosh85 - I just did a 3 step one too and was like, man, 3 steps is a lot of work, especially compared to just laying a mask on your face. Glad all 3 steps worked for you!
