I like the looks of it @itsfi 🤔 thank you for the tag! I'll wait for reviews...or a promo. I don't take cheating on my glosses lightly. 😋

[itsfi]

Hahaha @sonnydee! 😆 So many releases coming this week! A promo for these would be lovely.

@itsfi  Omg this looks amazing! Thanks for sharing. I’m totally on a no buy but Langeine has a gummy bear lip mask and glossy lip balm coming up that I may need to break my no buy for 😬 I also got ILIA Color Haze Multi-Use Pigment Sing  and it’s sooo good. I can only imagine how good this lip oil will be 😝

[itsfi]

@ather, there seems to be a lot of new products being released this Tuesday. 💸😂  There’ll be sales popping up too. 🛍  Picking and choosing what to get and what to pass on is definitely the way to go. Perhaps at some point there’ll be a set of mini’s for these balmy glossy oils.

@itsfi ohhhhh that sour cherry mask sounds wonderful!!

[itsfi]

This is such a nice mask @lmaster! 🍒 The brand has a sour cherry whipped moisturizer that I want to try. 😍 It sounds like it would be amazing; and with it, I probably could do a skincare routine just based on cherries! ♥️

[sonnydee]

First thought not going to lie: is it edible? 😂🍒 @itsfi the moisturizer sounds good too. I think the only Spalife sheet mask i like is there bubble mask.

[itsfi]

Hahaha @sonnydee! 😂  The yumminess of the Eminence mask is limited to its scent. Definitely not edible. Yeah, I’m not a fan of this SpaLife mask; I don’t think I’d categorize  it as a good filler mask. It didn’t cause any breakouts, redness or other skin irritation, which I’m very thankful for, but it’s just not for me. Oh well. On to the next mask. 😉

Tonight’s masking, “V” for Vargas and Venofye:

Spoiler

First, the Kosas Kosasport LipFuel Hyaluronic Lip Balm Pulse is minty and long-lasting for a balm. Plus I use it outside to protect my lips in that hot summer sun. Great balm and another likely repurchase.

The Joanna Vargas Exfoliating Mask is new to me and these are my first impressions.

Scent: yummy! Was not expecting that. On board. There is a deliciously subtle fruity-citrus scent to this. 

Texture: scrubbies are a bit harsh, albeit teensy-tiny. I had to apply this fairly thin clay-like mask carefully, so as to not rough up my skin too much. 

Appearance: looks like the untaggable Kiehl’s Cranberry & Turmeric mask.

There is a golden sheen to it, which is very pretty. Rinsing was easy, I used a muslin cloth. The granules are rather rough, so I was very careful when removing them. My skin, especially the forehead area, looked brightened after using.

The Venofye Royal Honey Sheet Mask was a mask I looked forward to trying because it was from trusted mask aficionado @Shosh85 and also because of its crazy $$$ price tag. I am always curious if the amount paid reflects value received.

So first thoughts. The scent-I was not expecting heavy honey based on Shosh85’s reviews, and true to her word_there was little to be noticed. Once it was on my face, I seemed to sense a bit of honey, but there wasn’t enough there for me to say.

This is a medium weight sheet mask. The unfolding was extraordinarily frustration-free. The fit- perfect. Really, the best cotton mask fit I’ve tried. I left it on for nearly 30 minutes before it became noticeably dry under my nose. There was a tiny bit of serum for reapplying, which I used. My skin was just the slightest bit tacky, and appeared brighter after using-I don’t think that was the goal, but it happened and I will take it 🤷🏻‍♀️😊 

[ShortErica]

@eshoe like @emaisgr8 I had no idea about the crazy price tag! Or maybe I did but forgot. Thanks for that reminder. I enjoyed the mask too but there's no way I'm buying it with that price tag. 😲

[eshoe]

An absolute treat to try, @ShortErica - but not necessarily to buy😉

[emaisgr8]

@eshoe  I really liked the Venofye mask also.  I didn't realized the crazy price on it.

[eshoe]

@emaisgr8 I never would have tried it, if not for @Shosh85‘s generosity! How fun, and it also makes me realize that most masks really should be in the $1-5 range. $50 is absurd😂

[sonnydee]

WOW just looked Venofye masks up. 😳😯🤑 1 mask better fix everything wrong with my face immediately & for a month for it to be worth it. @eshoe

[eshoe]

I agree 1000%, @sonnydee 😂

 it’s absurd.

[lmaster]

How much is a hefty price tag @eshoe just curious why it would be so expensive? 

[eshoe]

I think @Shosh85 found them to be $50 for a single sheet, @lmaster 😳 I...I just don’t know. That’s about $45 more than I want to pay for a mask😂

[lmaster]

@eshoe wow!!! That's is crazy expensive

[quspork]

This sounds like a nice masking combo, @eshoe. I'm intrigued by the Joanna Vargas even if the granules did seem a little harsh. 

[eshoe]

It’s such a different texture than I am used to, it’s pretty runny @quspork. Bonus is that it should last me awhile that way!

[Shosh85]

@eshoe 
I'm happy to hear the Venofye mask worked out nicely for you! It's not one I'd pay $50 for, (let's be real, there's not any sheet mask I'd pay that much for 😳) but I did enjoy it! 😃
