Indeed! @ShortErica 

[eshoe]

This is such a good, solid mask @l8totheparty!

[quspork]

Looks like another WF winner, @l8totheparty!

[Shosh85]

@l8totheparty  Sounds relaxing! So happy you enjoyed it! 😃

[lmaster]

Couldn't agree more!! @l8totheparty love royal jelly!!

Moisturizing masks for M week, with one from Nuori for N:

Spoiler

Started off with Nuori’s Supreme Moisture Mask, a pretty low key, soothing wash-off. It is very similar in consistency to the REN Evercalm, bearing a soft, pleasant scent that borders on herbal/floral. It does have added fragrance, which is the last ingredient, but it is subtle and not at all overwhelming.

My skin drinks this up and by the time 30 minutes have passed, there isn’t much to wash off. It does what it says, and it’s become another go-to for my lazy masking nights.

Ingredients:

Spoiler

Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Fruit Water, Rosa Damascena (Damask Rose) Flower Water, Squalane¹, Pentylene Glycol¹, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Cetyl Alcohol, Hydrogenated Avocado Oil (Avocado Butter), Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), Betaine¹, Glyceryl Stearate Citrate, Glycerin¹, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil, Bisabolol, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Chamomilla Recutita (Chamomile) Flower Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid), Aqua (Water), Xanthan Gum, Maltodextrin, Geraniol², Citronellol², Sodium Gluconate, Citric Acid, Parfum (Fragrance)².

The Etude House Moisturizing and Soothing Green Tea Mask is another easy winner, love the fit of their masks from this line, how thin they are, and the minimal tack left behind. Can’t say I noticed any distinguishing scents, maybe a hint of green tea? Looking forward to trying the rest from this line!

[ShortErica]

The Etude sounds wonderful @eshoe!

[eshoe]

Have you tried any from this brand, @ShortErica?

[ShortErica]

Not yet but I have a couple from unicorn mail @eshoe. I'm considering them for E week but they also have 2022 expirations so they might have to wait. Though I feel like I'm winning in the expiration game battle 😉

[quspork]

That ET green tea is such a nice soothing, hydrating mask, @eshoe!

[eshoe]

They are all good, @quspork - I am pretty sure one of the first ones I tried was from you (the Collagen I think?). Love them!

[lmaster]

@eshoe calming sounds great! I've never tried any of these

[eshoe]

BeautyFIX has the Nuori this month @lmaster. I wouldn’t spend that much on a mask normally but used up Dermstore points😊

[Shosh85]

@eshoe I've tried 7 masks from this line so far, but haven't gotten around to Green Tea yet! I'm happy to hear it turned out nice for you!

Love the sound of the wash-off mask - I think everyone needs a low-key, lazy mask on-hand! 😃

[eshoe]

Ha I am amazed and impressed that you know you’ve tried exactly seven, @Shosh85! My tracking methods aren’t nearly as precise 😂 

 Also, I noticed Facetory has the Chamomile Tea mask from Holika Holika. I had my cart ready to check out (full of new to me masks) and one click to log in made everything disappear😭 But in case you still want to try it, it’s an option. 

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  Well don't be too amazed, haha! I just save all my notes/reviews and my phone stores them alphabetically, so they're super easy to find and count 😉

And thanks for the heads up on the Chamomile mask! - I'll be sure to log in first 😂

[eshoe]

You’re welcome @Shosh85! I’m going to go back in and pick it up, I’ve really enjoyed those masks!

[ather]

@eshoe  Both these masks sound great!!

[eshoe]

Masks that take little effort to love are good, @ather 😊

Some more BIC-inspired goodness:

The Purlisse Watermelon Energizing Sheet Mask

This was a swap from the Masks on the Move box and I believe @lmaster has mentioned liking this one (my memory can be terrible tho, so apologies if I'm thinking of the wrong masker!!). This was such a lovely "end to summer" mask. It was a more opaque mask with clear serum that fit well and adherence wasn't an issue. And it had a very light, fresh watermelon scent. It left my skin looking well-hydrated and I didn't notice too much in the way of tack after removal. I would happily use this one again!

And then, the Merbliss Wedding Dress Aloe Honey Mask

I had added a pack of these to an order from roseroseshop after reading @itsfi 's review a while back and I'm so glad I did! (And then later found another pack at Marshall's that had to be grabbed up...) This mask features two of my favorite skincare ingredients- honey and aloe, such a great combo. It's a microfiber sheet that just cocoons my skin without moving around or becoming unstuck. There's a delicious light honey scent that isn't overwhelming, but adds a nice little something to the masking experience. And after removal? I'm left with hydrated, soothed, less red skin that is soft and bouncy. In summary? YES. Thank you to @eshoe for first introducing me to Merbliss as a brand a while back with, I think it was, the Nurse Healing Mask, and also thank you to @itsfi for recommending this version! I will happily be using what's in the current stash and plan to repurchase when necessary.

I do love that purlisse mask @quspork I was very close to using it yesterday 😆👍
