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.

G is for Grapefruit. This A’pieu mask was very relaxing and has a fresh grapefruit scent. Most certainly qualifies as a filler mask. Fits terrible areojns the nose. No matter how adjust there are large areas that remain uncovered. The sheet is thin and well saturated with left over serum. Overall I like it and would buy again if cheap. 

[eshoe]

Even if it’s just a filler mask, @Weetart - the scent has me so curious!

[Weetart]

@eshoe @lmaster yeah, great filler. I have a few peaches left, the grapefruit is so refreshing though!

[lmaster]

@Weetart I'd love to try this one!

[Shosh85]

@Weetart  I haven't tried this one yet but it sounds nice! I really love the banana one! 

[Weetart]

@Shosh85 yaaas on the banana!

Placenta for gross week....... but it really isn't that gross, since it's just soybean placenta- it just sounds gross. ETA: oops, the last placenta mask I used had soybean placenta (soybean phytoplacenta extract) so I just assumed this one was the same - but this one has "hydrolyzed placental extract," which I guess comes from some kind of actual placenta? 🤔😳

Mediheal Placenta Revital Essential Mask Ex

This is a thin cotton sheet mask that soaking in a silky serum and had a light floral scent that wasn't too noticeable while the mask was on. I kept it on for about 25 minutes. When I removed it I pressed in the remaining serum that felt slightly tacky, but it all absorbed in a couple minutes. My face looked brighter and felt a little plumped and moisturized.

This was great mask, with some great results. I'm not so sure I'd pay retail for this one, but I'd definitely repurchase at a good discount or if spotted at TJ Maxx/Marshall's.

Okay so as a soybean placenta mask I was just meh on it, but now that it's actual placenta and therefore the gross factor has been upped... I'm waaaayyy more interested to try it @Shosh85 !

[Shosh85]

@missjeanie  Haha! Right!? Definitely makes it more exciting! 😃

[eshoe]

Interesting it’s a new type of placenta! I could swear we debated this before @Shosh85 @lmaster @ShortErica . Wasn’t the soybean belly button a topic of discussion 🤔

 

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  I remember the belly button discussion 😂 this diagram looks like a lady dancing/leaping in the air to me. 😉

[eshoe]

Ha it does, @Shosh85! I just envisioned something much cuter out there to post, but this was the best I could come up with;)

[lmaster]

That's actually a really cute diagram @eshoe awwwww look at the baby bean 😆

[eshoe]

It cracks me up, @lmaster  🌱 

[ShortErica]

@eshoe I remember hearing about soybean placenta but not animal derived in masks. Thanks for the diagram

[eshoe]

Yes I remember 🤞🏼 that the mask I tried was plant-based, @ShortErica. There’s only so much I am willing to try for my skin!

[lmaster]

@Shosh85 I looked it up, and I'm getting that it is an animal derived ingredient,,, wonder which animal.. interesting for sure

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  Right? It sounds like it comes from pigs?👇🤔

[lmaster]

@Shosh85 wow that's one I've not seen before!!

[ShortErica]

Hmm..yeah, I'd be curious what kind of placenta @Shosh85. Wouldn't stop me from trying though. 😂 Yay for good results!

[Shosh85]

@ShortErica The Tony Moly mask I used recently had soybean placenta and for some reason I just assumed that's what this was too.  Everything I've read online so far about "hydrolyzed placental extract" says it's from kind of actual placenta. 🧐 (I'll have to keep reading more into that)

It definitely seems like the most unique/weirdest ingredients give the best results!
