MarchMarch 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!
AprilSpring Fling - Baskets and bouquets, showers of much-anticipated rain...this month's focus is herbal and floral sensory delights.
MayDew 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.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Wow I fit the theme this week! Can I have some more please, and Charcoal. 

First up this honey mask! When I put it on I actually smelled honey for .2 seconds, it was heaven. Can I have some more of this mask please haha. 

Secondly the Sephora Charcoal nose strip, I included the pic because it made me laugh. I have to put them on without my glasses and I botched this one. I can't reach the mirror so I have to just say 1, 2, 3 go! It didn't seem like it picked much up, and my nose was super oily a few hours afterwards...but I did use a new moisturizer so I'll have to test and see which one it was. It wasn't as oily in the morning. It didn't get super painfully dry like the other kinds of nose strips.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Ah, nose strips! Good reminder @Samtian; I should do one tonight or tomorrow. I may recreate your mask duo here and use my Lapcos Honey mask as well. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@itsfi Sweet!!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@Samtian  That Honey mask is a favorite of mine! Happy to hear you loved it too! It's hard to go wrong with honey! ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@Shosh85 Definitely!!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

The honey mask sounds nice, @Samtian. The nose strip pic does give me a chuckle ๐Ÿ˜‚ Hopefully you can figure out whether it was the strip or the moisturizer that caused the oiliness. 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@quspork I'm glad! I think it was both of them. The moisturizer makes my nose oily but not as much as when I did the strip too. So I think both. 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@Samtian that is one of the best honey masks,,,imo ๐Ÿ˜†

 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@lmaster Ooh really?! I'm going to have to keep my eyes out for more.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Ha ha so you like honey masks, @Samtian? I think they are a universal favorite ๐Ÿฅฐ Itโ€™s also hard to top Biorรฉ.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@eshoe I like honey everything lol. Even named my business after it. 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Are you still doing photography @Samtian

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@eshoe Yep!

C is for Caolion and Cleanse

This mask is pretty neat.  Itโ€™s a sheet mud mask and quite literally the easiest mess free mud mask application Iโ€™ve ever experienced.  Itโ€™s a two piece mask which smells like clay (no surprise) with a little green tea trying to mask it but not successfully.  This is a dry down mask which I donโ€™t normally gravitate towards.  You can feel the drying occurring within minutes.  The mask fits alright.  Itโ€™s a bit long in the forehead and nose so I folded it down to fit me better.  It says to leave it on between 20-40 minutes and then to rinse off.  I left it on for 20 minutes cause I didnโ€™t want to wait for it to dry down completely. My skin felt smooth soft, refreshed and firm but was in near immediate need of hydration.   Iโ€™m suggesting this one for more oily skin or if youโ€™re feeling the need for a deep resetting cleanse.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

I just jotted the following note on the one I have - โ€œuse when youโ€™re oily. @heartsmyface said so.โ€ ๐Ÿ˜ƒ Looks like a warm weather mask for me then. โ˜€๏ธ 

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

I can't remember if I tried this green one @heartsmyface I know I have tried one from this line and liked it, you're definitely right, I tend to lean oily in the summer and it was perfect for that time of year

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@heartsmyface  Definitely sounds better suited for oily skin, but I'm glad it turned out decent for you! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

Hmmm Iโ€™ve tried the pink one, and liked it @heartsmyface - but I think that was more of a hydrating one. Clay sheet masks are a good trade-off for a messy sink;)

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

@heartsmyface A mud sheet mask? That sounds interesting.

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

1This was for B week, but it works for C week too ๐Ÿ˜‰ Pulled this one out of Masks On The Move!

Bath & Body Works Mud Mask

This is a two piece cotton mud mask that was sandwiched between two protective layers and was completely caked/saturated with a slightly tacky chocolatey-brown mud. ....and speaking of chocolate, that is exactly what this mask smelled like! Holy cow it smelled SO good! It literally felt like I was wearing a sheet of chocolate on my face. Application was a little messy and I ended up with the brown mud all over my fingers. It had a nice fit - not quite wide enough and the nose flap was a little too long. I removed the mask after about a 20 minutes, when it started feeling dry and stiff to the point it was hard to move my face around. Removing it was almost like removing a peel-off mask, just not as painful. ๐Ÿ˜‰ There was some dried "mud" leftover on my face that I rinsed off easily with warm water. My face looked brighter and my skin felt soooo soft and smooth. I felt a little dry and had to place moisturizer right away, but I usually expect that with mud/clay type masks. The mask was fun to use, smelled amazing and gave pretty great results! If Bath & Body Works was still selling this mask I would definitely repurchase! I am SO happy I got the chance to try it out again!

Re: ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Œ Mask of the Week Challenge ๐Ÿ˜Œ๐Ÿ’–

It feels like itโ€™s been forever since Iโ€™ve stepped foot inside a B&BW so I donโ€™t know, are they still stocking sheet masks? I know their sheet mask selection was constantly in rotation but Iโ€™m not sure if they still carry them. Hmmm ๐Ÿค”. Ever since you started reviewing their masks, Iโ€™ve always felt that B&BW needed a section titled โ€œ@Shosh85โ€™s favoritesโ€ or that they bring your faves back and make them a permanent part of their collection.  โ™ฅ๏ธ
