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💗

[WinglessOne]

@lmaster  Yay, I'm glad you loved this mask! I like this mask serum better than the bottled Raw Sauce essence—and I used to loooooove Raw Sauce. Definitely a great choice for our current weather conditions. 👍

[lmaster]

@WinglessOne thank you thank you!!! This mask literally saved my skin, I had no idea how much hydration I was lacking until I seen how my skin just soaked this serum up!!

[PrettyPaint]

@lmaster  This looks amazing. I have only tried the raw sauce by this brand (which I like a lot), but now I want to seek out this mask! 🙂

[lmaster]

@PrettyPaint it was a skin saver for me, I have to go out every night in the cold to lock the chickens in their coop and lock the barn doors, it's been pretty darn cold around 15-25 degrees (could be worse) and my skin has definitely felt underhydrated! 

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  Oooh, I love this one! The raw sauce is pretty awesome too! So happy to hear you loved it! 😃😍

[lmaster]

@Shosh85 what is your take on the scent? It was hard for me to pinpoint, I was feeling like it had a light herbal scent 🤷 

[Shosh85]

@lmaster  It's been awhile, but my notes say "a light clean & fresh scent" 🤷🏻 

[lmaster]

Ok @Shosh85 I knew it was not an overpowering scent that jumped at me, in my mind, I was thinking herbal/clean. Still could not pinpoint, thank you

[itsfi]

This is one of my favorite sheet masks @lmaster! I really love the May Coop Raw Sauce essence. Regarding the numbers, here's information from yesstyle dot com:

[lmaster]

Thank you so much for this info!! @itsfi 

[Shosh85]

@itsfi @lmaster  I also found this on the May Coop website..... just a tad different than yesstyle's version: 😉

[lmaster]

@Shosh85 oh interesting!!

Going with the numbers theme again and using this Ariul 7 Days Mask 😃

Spoiler

Ariul 7 Days Aloe Sheet Mask

This is a thin cotton sheet mask that was saturated with a white milky serum. The scent was like a combination of fresh & clean and aloe, but fresh & clean is what was more apparent to me. The fit on this one reminds me of the fit on a typical Creme Shop mask - it was too wide, the space between the eyes was a little too wide and was too long at the chin/jawline. The adherence was good and it was comfortable to wear the half hour I had it on. After removing the mask there was some very light tackiness, that only lasted about 5 minutes. My face felt refreshed, soft and nicely moisturized. The little bit of redness I had was gone and my skin tone looked more even.

I enjoyed this one! The only negative thing I can say about it is the fit - which is never a deal breaker for me. I'd definitely repurchase!

@Shosh85  So glad you had good results. The packaging on this one looks familiar to me - I wonder if I have one somewhere that I got from facetory. If so, I'll be sure to have some scissors handy because I'm sure I would need to trim it.

[lmaster]

@Shosh85 I agree, fit is usually not a deal breaker for me either, sounds great

[Shosh85]

Thanks, @lmaster!  Yeah, it's nice when it has a good fit, but having to make some adjustments is no big deal 😉

[eshoe]

@Shosh85 that is fantastic that this helped with alleviating some of the redness! Plus a milky serum, what a great bonus. I expected to find centella or ceramides in the ingredients, it must be the aloe that helped soothe🤔 

[Shosh85]

@eshoe  Yup, most likely the aloe! It definitely felt super soothing and the milky serum made it even better! 😃

[quspork]

Love this line, @Shosh85! I'm glad to hear this one was a winner for you!

[Shosh85]

@quspork  It really is a good solid line of masks! The milky serum on this one was such a nice surprise! 😃

[itsfi]

Ooouh, an aloe sheet mask you would repurchase @Shosh85? Noted! Those results sound great! ❤️ The fit on this one sounds like the fit of pretty much all sheet masks on me. I agree, fit isn't a deal breaker, especially since it can be made better with a few adjustments.
