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:
Itโs true @Shosh85, salad is good for you! Iโve really enjoyed these salad line masks. Any early favorites for you from the range or too early to tell? This olive one sounds great! It also makes me think of a martini! ๐ธ Hmmm... a martini happy hour, party of one, sounds like it could be in the works later this week. ๐
@itsfi I think so far my favorite is the honey one, with Avocado in close second. ๐ฏ๐ฅ
How many have you tried and what is your favorite so far?
My favorite so far is the avocado ๐ฅ one. I havenโt used my honey ๐ฏ mask yet and now Iโm even more excited to give it a try if it edges out the avocado one. @Shosh85! ๐ฅ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ฏ
Great masking!! @Shosh85 olives are something I really really want to like,,, but just can't stand ๐คฃ
@lmaster Haha! That's how I feel about pumpkin- something I really want to like, but just can't. ๐ My husband doesn't like olives either ๐
These also go on my to-buy list once the no buy ends @Shosh85. I think the salad ones are worth the "collect em all" mentality. Although you enjoyed them all, favorite and least favorite?
@ShortErica So far I've tried 7 and have 3 more left in my stash to try: blueberry, green tea and carrot. I'm not positive how many masks there are total from the line, so I'll have to research that, but I hope to try them all ๐
So far my most favorite is the honey, followed closely by avocado. It was actually very hard to pick a least favorite one, because there really hasn't been one I haven't liked - but if I had to pick I'd choose Beet (which is funny, because it's also my least favorite food.) It turned out nice, I just expected more brightening from a brightening mask.
Too funny - blueberry I've tried and I have carrot from faeriegirl and the green tea from you @Shosh85. I'll be curious your thoughts on all 3 but especially blueberry since I had a very favorable impression.
@ShortErica So it looks like there's 4 kits but 11 different masks - and I forgot I also have the Coconut but haven't tried it yet. So I guess I have 4 more to go. I think I'll bump the Blueberry up in the schedule, because I'm excited to get a roll on it ๐
ETA: oops! I counted wrong - there's actually 12 masks total!
I also missed that I still had Mangosteen left to try as well! (There's like 4 places I'm storing masks right now so it's harder keeping track of what I have. ๐) So, there's actually 5 more I still need to try
@Shosh85 @ShortErica In addition to the salad packs, there are also some โFresh Food for Skinโ varieties. These are the ones I have; Iโm not sure how many others there are out there. ๐
Some of the Superfood Salad masks, like avocado and blueberry, are also available as individual Fresh Food for Skin masks: theyโre the exact same masks, just labeled a bit differently.
@WinglessOne I saw that Facetory carries some of these! Fred Meyer carries the face wipes and micellar water from the Fresh Food For Skin line but not the masks, just the masks from the salad line
@Shosh85 Yep. In fact, I think my grape and mango masks came from Facetory. My cranberry ones came from Francescaโs, of all places: last month, while I searched for more of the kale and olive masks, Francescaโs was one of the resultsโbut not for those 2 varieties. Looks like theyโre now all sold out of what stock they had online, though.
I just searched for the cranberry mask again and hey, Innerest (dot) net has them ALL! I donโt think Iโd never seen the fig one before. Not sure why it never dawned on me to check Innerest when their nameโs on the back of all these masks, along with Farmskin. ๐ Gonna order my olive and kale masks soon!
@WinglessOne Hmm, I haven't heard of the Innerest site before - will definitely have to check it out!
Good to know @WinglessOne! Thanks @Shosh85 for the tallies!
@Shosh85 Iโm glad you loved this one! Itโs one of my favorite Farmskin masks and Iโve been trying to track down more of them (or the Superfood Salad kit it comes in).
@WinglessOne I don't know if you have a Fred Meyer near you, but I noticed they just started carrying the Salad Masks. (Not sure if it's all stores or just certain ones) I've hesitated only because it's twice as much as the ones I bought from Marshall's- but I have a feeling I'll give in soon, 'cause I really love these masks! ๐ฅ๐
@Shosh85 Nope, no Fred Meyer here, but theyโre part of the Kroger family; in Chicago, that includes Marianoโs. Next time I visit a Marianoโs, Iโll look for Farmskin masks! Thank you!
@WinglessOne Facetory carries them as well, but I think only a few different ones. Fred Meyer carries the kits, so that's probably what I'll end up doing.
Looks like one I need to try, @Shosh85 - I love to eat olives, at least๐
@eshoe Mmm, I love olives too, especially the stuffed kind ๐ This was another good one! I really love the milky serum. ๐
And this is what I miss about the grocery store, @Shosh85 - the olive bar. There are no cute olive gifs, they were all pretty terrifying but yes this is what I love, too ๐ also, that serum sounds so good!
