January	Fresh Starts - Time for a re-set, or morning masking? However you see it, this month is all about new beginnings.
February	Winter Love - Whether it's a mask you adore, or something extra-special to care for dry winter skin, this month is for some soothing TLC.
March	March Madness - Competition is in the air! Find a $ dupe of a $$$ mask that is share-worthy? Or find a dupe that works even better than the original? Details, please!
April	Spring Fling - Baskets and bouquets, showers of much-anticipated rain...this month's focus is herbal and floral sensory delights.
May	Dew Drops - May Day lore says to wash your face in the dew you collect in the morning of the first day of May for radiant skin. This month is for absorbing all of that good-for-you H2O.
June	Summer Sunshine - Ice cream, sunglasses, SPF, check! Once the sun is down (or before it's up), extra care is most necessary. How do you give your skin cooling repair?

Thank you @Aaliaa for starting this thread, and giving us a place to share our love for masks💗

@Kim888  They were super cute. I think I would likely be ok to try them again. I'm noticing that most anything has been a little irritating to my eye area lately, so I think it may just be seasonal allergies.

[quspork]

The Pacifica eye patches are super cute, @PrettyPaint. It's too bad they were causing some tingling, but at least the kids were amused haha!

[PrettyPaint]

@quspork  Yeah, I have no idea if the tingling was due to the ingredients, but I suspect it's just due to allergies, etc. I didn't have any redness, so no biggie. My kids don't respond to plain masks anymore, but they always get a kick out of anything that resembles stickers, etc.

The Phat Glow mask looks interesting @PrettyPaint, but that manicure really caught my attention. Unfortunately I am not allowed to wear anything like that to work.

[PrettyPaint]

@Loretta55  Haha! Yeah, it's a bit more loud than my usual style, but I'm still working from home so anything goes! 🙂

P is for Pore-Purifying

Farmskin Superfood Salad Pore-Purifying Carrot Sheet Mask

This is a super thin cotton sheet mask that was saturated with serum and had a light clean & fresh kind of scent. The fit was great and was just a little too long at the chin. The adherence was good and it was comfortable to wear the half hour I had it on. When I removed it I patted in the leftover serum and there was only the slightest bit of tackiness that hung around for about 5 minutes. My face felt lightly hydrated and my skin looked and felt smoother and had a bit of glow.

This one was decent, but not as good as some of the others in the line andnd I can't say I was blown away by it. I'd use again, but probably wouldn't repurchase.

@Shosh85, Farmskin sheet masks really perform well consistently, don’t they?  Some are better than others, naturally, but all work nicely. At least all the ones I’ve tried. I also like that they have some star ingredients that you don’t typically see in sheet masks. 😃

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  I only have one more to try, but so far I have really enjoyed this line and have already bought some backups! The ones with the milky serums have been my most favorite! 😃

[itsfi]

Milky serum. My face lights up at the sound of those words @Shosh85!!! 😍😍 Such a gift for dry or dehydrated skin! ♥️♥️♥️

[ather]

@Shosh85  Too bad it didn’t blow you away however if it did you may have too many loves!!! 

[Shosh85]

@ather  Haha! Yup, I definitely have a super long loves list!

[ShortErica]

Oh darn @Shosh85. I think I have this one from unicorn mail (maybe you?) and I'll set my expectations to be good not great. The line did create pretty high standards.

[Shosh85]

@ShortErica  All these mask really are great! You are exactly right - the line did create some high standards, so the carrot one isn't bad at all, I think the others just set my expectations higher. 😉

[eshoe]

I share your sentiments on this one, @Shosh85. I kind of expected a carrot scent and found it fine, but not outstanding. Still, the fit on these masks are decent! 

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  Yup, definitely not a bad mask - just not as good as some of the others from the line. 😉

[lmaster]

@Shosh85 sorry it didn't wow you!! These are pretty nice masks in general, I have a few left to use, not sure if I have I've of this version

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  Yeah, it was ok, just not as good as the others I've tried from this line! 😉

[sonnydee]

Last nights forgotten mask, one that I pass on. I'm not familiar with it🤔 but im glad i finally broke down & used it! So good. 

Fit?not bad at all. Little wide underneath the nose but it's thin enough just to push up out of the way

Smell?you really smell the lavender. Which is 😍 for me

Consistency?the mask itself is thin looks almost gauze like (has the tiny squares in it), saturated nicely with serum

Ease of use?no issues. Left it for about 25 min. Took off the mask, after a few minutes my face did feel sticky but waited a few more minutes & everything soaked in without tack.🤗

Would I  purchase/try again? Yes!!!! I think I have 1 more of the vitamin F. I think @llmaster sent me one so for that im grateful! My skin looks & feels balanced & soft. Finished off the night with Laneige mint chocolate. Which i figured out what it smells like to me. Mint chocolate chip ice cream, since I really started digging into it.

[ather]

@sonnydee  So awesome that you finally used it and loved it!!! 

[eshoe]

@sonnydee I was eyeing this mask recently and you've convinced me, the gauze texture sounds intriguing!

[lmaster]

So happy you had a great experience!! Mint chocolate chip ice cream mmmmmmmmmm 😋 @sonnydee
