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:
Dare to compare Urang
@Kim888, I agree these didn’t last for as long as other sheet masks; i was able to get more time with them on, and i did like them. Sorry these didn’t work out for you.
@Kim888 it is a cute packaging design! Sorry they weren't very impressive
Interesting package design @Kim888. Was there a lot of excess serum in the package or was it mostly on the mask? Sorry about them drying out and not performing well.
@ShortErica @There was some extra but I left it in there for about 10 minutes so I’m not sure how much more it would have absorbed
Hmm..I was hoping there might be a small trick to help it but yeah, it sounds like you tried and that's how the mask is @Kim888 🤷♀️
@Kim888 Ooooh, fun duel! Too bad the Fresh one was unimpressive! These are the type of masks I'd buy based on the packaging- they are so pretty! Glad the Rose one turned out decent despite it drying out early 🌹😃
Oh wow, a mask drying out 10 minutes into it is definitely a pet peeve of mine, @Kim888. I wonder if these were anywhere near expiration? That is such a let-down, sorry to hear!
@sonnydee ahhhh grape soda goodness
Oh that sounds great @sonnydee - I love grape masks!
Grape soda, @sonnydee? Sounds like a great mask all around!
@sonnydee I'm so happy these are all turning out so great! This one sounds wonderful- and Grape soda scent sounds delicious! Can't wait to try them all! 🍇
Woo! Thursday night posting. It's like a party. My husband is fishing and the boys have been in bed. I took a bath and pampered myself and now I'm finally making time to post about masks. Spoilering (that's a word right?) for length.
Sigh...breathe in, breathe out. I'm caught up. And then maybe I can catch up on my empties. One thing at a time and masks are priority.
This week I'm pushing myself to get out of my only 2 masks a week rut. Duel of the bada$$ Oozoo bears coming up. Gotta do all 3, right? Hopefully posting soon! I missed being twins with so many people during animal mask week. I loved seeing all the adorable faces!
You used some cute masks @ShortErica . What a cutie!
So glad you can at least pamper yourself!! @ShortErica hope you are staying well! ♥️
I hope I'm making good decisions for the boys @lmaster. We are healthy but it is odd not doing normal things. The boys haven't seen a grocery store in forever and we've only taken them out on an errand maybe twice with their little masks. A little stir crazy but that seems to be how it is.
@ShortErica oh yeah and I did take them to the lake a few times, I can't help it,,, I know everything is so controversial right now,,, but where I live, not many people at all were around, and we basically had it to ourselves there too
@ShortErica yeah my two boys have not been much of anywhere until recently, we went to the zoo, you have to reserve a 3 hour time slot with masks, marked paths and couldn't go inside where the snakes and monkeys were, but at least it was some fun! It felt like we had the zoo all to ourselves
We have zoo passes too and now that the move is mostly done I'd like to take our boys. I guess I understand the protocol and I'm glad it felt like you had it to yourselves @lmaster
