@SephoraBIC Thank you for the opportunity to try these masks!

I used Dragon Fruit tonight. Here are my first thoughts: The smell is light and fresh. Not overly perfumed. I love the shells and creamy texture. Now, when I applied this, I didn’t apply a thick layer like the woman in the photo above. It was very transparent with just a hint of pink. Was that not an efficient amount? Regardless, my skin felt like butter and had a sofy glow afterward. The shells gave my skin a nice and gentle exfoliation. After I rinsed it off, I applied my Missha First Treatment Essence, Dr Dennis Gross Ferulic+Retinol Eye Serum, Shiseido Benefiance Eye Cream, Luna and Good Genes. This is my normal night time routine. I didn’t experience any irritation or redness afterwards. I can’t wait to see how my skin looks and feels when I wake up in the morning! I think Origins hit a home run with this. I will definitely purchase a full size when it’s released!

@darlyndar I applied the same amount, you don't need a thick layer.

@Thank you @SephoraBIC I was so psyched to receive the tester kit of these masks today!

I tried the Ginger Kombucha on my entire face tonight; I’ll use the Dragon Fruit when my skin is feeling dry, like after a day in the sun!

This is how my skin looks after double cleansing:

As you can see I have visible pores and some bumpiness going on. 

The Ginger Kombucha mask has a creamy texture and a very faint, yet pleasant, scent. It spreads easily and isn’t messy to apply. 

After a few minutes the mask feels tingly, which may be due to the ginger. It remains creamy, never drying down like a clay mask, so it was easy to rinse off. It left my skin feeling soft and silky, which I like!

Here’s my skin after rinsing everything off but before applying my evening moisturizer:

While I don’t see a huge difference to my skin’s texture right now, I hope to incorporate this product into my skin care rituals because it does make my face feel soft afterwards. I’ll report later if my face still feels as nice in the morning.

Quick update: my skin woke up happy today, and a red bump that was starting to emerge was significantly reduced. After my usual morning skincare regimen, everything continued to look good, which is a great sign, since introducing something new can have unexpected interactions with other products. My skin definitely retained a nice glow, and my makeup went on as smoothing as usual, so overall I'd say the Ginger Kombucha is a fun mask to use, and I'm so glad that the sample I received is generous enough to allow for at least four uses!

[yankeefaithful]

@LCResz  Thanks for the pics and the information! I look forward to hearing your opinion on the Dragon Fruit mask!

[Ispend2much6]

@LCResz  I wish I had your eyebrows!

[LCResz]

Thanks @Ispend2much6! They are hard to tame, luckily I found an excellent threading salon so my brows always look like two separate entities and are no longer trying to meet up for a rendezvous in the middle of my face 🙃
