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

Spoiler

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. 😉 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!

The lighting is weird, but you get the idea 😉

It feels like it’s been forever since I’ve stepped foot inside a B&BW so I don’t know, are they still stocking sheet masks? I know their sheet mask selection was constantly in rotation but I’m not sure if they still carry them. Hmmm 🤔. Ever since you started reviewing their masks, I’ve always felt that B&BW needed a section titled “@Shosh85’s favorites” or that they bring your faves back and make them a permanent part of their collection.  ♥️

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  Yeah, I don't even remember the last time I walked into B&BW! The last time I looked at their sheet masks, I wasn't excited about what was there - definitely not the same fun variety/selection as their used to be. 😢

[lmaster]

@Shosh85 ahhhhhhh a chocolate smelling mask,,,, why oh why is it not available 😣

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  Right?! They especially should not discontinue the chocolate scented things! 😆🍫

[eshoe]

@Shosh85 a B&BW mask in the box?!?! So happy you were able to snag this one! Sounds like your skin loved it, too. I’m 🤞🏼they bring them back, too. I remember a hydrogel one you really enjoyed; Rose maybe? I went straight to my store and of course they had none. That was probably over a year ago now, maybe two even. 

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  Yup, I was SO excited to see it in there! I never thought I'd see it again! 🙌

Good memory! There was a Rose Petal Hydrogel mask that I really loved! Oh man, I wish they'd bring some of the old ones back! 

[eshoe]

Lol you know you are a seasoned masker when you reminisce about ‘the good old days’ of masking, @Shosh85 😄

[heartsmyface]

@Shosh85   The chocolate scent sounds so very pleasant!   I’m almost wanting to try it but I think one mud mask a month is good for me.   Now if they have that scent in a cream mask I’m down!  

[Shosh85]

@heartsmyface  Yeah, I have to limit my mud/clay masking, but gosh this smelled so good! If it hadn't been discontinued I'd totally buy more! 😃

 Saturday morning masking- last very combo.

Spoiler

My skin loves the gentle smoothing of the AMOREPACIFIC Treatment Enzyme Peeling Masque 2.70 oz/ 80 mL 
It was a great combo ☺️

[itsfi]

Ahhhh. Just seeing the AP mask puts a smile on my face @l8totheparty! ♥️ Lovely masking combo! 

[lmaster]

Great combo! @l8totheparty 

[eshoe]

The AP has had positive reviews on here from others as well, @l8totheparty👍🏼

Oh! I got a kick out of your card, TY so much for thinking of me! Hope you are loving your new home:)

[l8totheparty]

I sure am! 🙂 @eshoe 

[heartsmyface]

@l8totheparty  Ouhhhh and this is why I have too many masks.  I really want to try that enzyme peeling mask.  I love their enzyme peeling powder.  I wonder how similar the results are between the two. 

[l8totheparty]

I have them both @heartsmyface , and the masque is more. Better and stronger. The powder is a nice touch up, an in-between type of thing, but you will notice the masque as having deeper action, and having more noticeable results. Can not use it everyday, unlike the powder.

I love the masque. 

[heartsmyface]

@l8totheparty Ahhhh, thank you (but also ‘how could you!?’ 😆) onto my list then!  It’s clear I’m going to have to declutter masks that didnt 100percent wow me to make room to try new ones.  
I need to remember to opt for minis of masks I haven’t tried yet if they’re an option cause I’m more likely to get through them

[l8totheparty]

I have noticed the powder as a mini, but not the masque. I find it hard to throw away skin care that doesn't wow me, so if you manage- all the power to you! @heartsmyface

A couple more "B" masks from last week. Will post a band name mask at another time.

B is for bubbles . . . for the face and the lips

Spoiler

I'm always a little nervous with bubble masks that the bubbles are going to get into my eyes. That anxiety is allayed a bit with this Berrisom Soda Bubble Mask - PoreTox Fruit is not a full sheet mask. It's a little larger than a half mask, covering my face from under my eyes to my chin/jawline and my nose bridge. Given my concerns about bubbles getting into my eye, I'm very mindful of how quickly the bubbles foam up on my nose bridge. Most times I'll snip off that section, but this time, I elected to keep it as is. The viscous but drippy essence in this mask has an effervescent fruity candy scent that, while not offensive, isn't very pleasant to me. This bubble mask has a fluorescent yellow-green (or is it green-yellow?) hue that reminds me of the color of lemon lime Gatorade and contains a print around the cheek area that resembles cheetah spots. The bubbles on this mask foam up quickly after I applied the mask. Instructions recommend leaving the mask on for 5-10 minutes and I'm sure my wear time was closer to the 5-minute mark before I removed it and rinsed off the bubbles and essence from my face. 

There are three (3) different varietals in this line; this one claims to purify and detoxify the skin and tighten pores and the mask lived up to some, but not all, of its claims. I did not notice any tightening or shrinking of my pores. I did, however, notice that my pores were clear and decongested after using this mask, and my face looked refreshed and bright. These results to me are the best part of this Berrisom bubble mask. That said, however, I find that I can get the same or very similar results with a regular (non-rinse off) and non-bubble/foaming sheet mask. So, while this mask did not convert me into a bubble sheet mask fan, this Berrisom mask, as well as a Mediheal bubble mask I used last year, are probably the two bubble masks I would consider using again; that said, I wouldn't run out to buy one.

B is for Bawdy, and butt, bum, behind, bottom and brrr ... 😆

 

Spoiler

The Bawdy Beauty Shake It Marine Algae Butt Mask is so cold! B-r-r-r-r!!! The sheets put next to each other spell out the name of the particular butt mask; in this case, "SHAKE IT", which I think could be a catchy tune for a song. Not sure about how Bawdy or Marine Algae would fare as a band name, though. Eh, I'll try to post my band name mask later this week. Back to this butt mask though, even if you did shake it a lot, it's unlikely these sheets would come off - they adhere very well. You can definitely multi-task with these on if you so choose. So what's the bottom line (haha! pun totally intended) with this marine algae butt mask? I don't know about how well the mask performed as far as its firming and illuminating claims go, but it was fun. If I were to describe these this mask in a few words, I'd go with: cheeky, cold, and good for giggles. 

Last time I used one of these bum beautifiers, I shared a pic of Gudetama's cheeks 😉. Gudetama's too shy this time to parade his behind. lol. 

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  I love that the masks you used are called, "Oops" and "Shake It!" Definitely sounds like an entertaining masking session! 😆
