Each week features a different theme, as well as a letter of the alphabet for coming up with new masking ideas. 

Please include the brand and name of the mask you are trying out, as well as a photo if possible. Any other details are greatly appreciated, including scent, if it's an exfoliating mask (include acid info if known), your overall experience, and whether or not you would repurchase.

@eshoe   Ha i was in the middle of applying it when I realized I had to leave these masks on.  It’s Missed Shift by Holo Taco.  Awesome it’s getting attention and it hasn’t even dried down completely!  It’s  hard to capture the shift but it goes from purple to navy to green.  Ignore the knuckle sticker (it’s not gonna last the night) but I think I got it! 

 

[eshoe]

I noticed the knuckle patch and thought hmmmmmm I guess knuckles need love too, right @heartsmyface? 

Holo Taco. Love the name and holos are my favorite polishes. They seem to be easier to remove, which I also like. Ok gonna check that one out!

[heartsmyface]

@eshoe @Hahah, I was running out of dry areas and they seemed the right size for knuckles.  They didn’t stay on my hands longer than two hours  cause I am incapable of sitting and doing nothing fb  but I have two very nice hydrated knuckles.  

[eshoe]

Then hydrated knuckles it is, @heartsmyface!

I found this whole avoiding sleep. Not sure this would be any more comfortable than the stick on ones.

@heartsmyface, this is the Skin, Inc. liner I mentioned to you in a previous post. At one point, I thought I saw on their direct site, a set that included a pack of these liners and one of their serums. I've found other similar styles of mask liners but they don't seem to be available in (or for delivery to) North America. 

Did you end up getting these, @eshoe? 

[eshoe]

No, @itsfi, I did not. I am on a no-buy for the first half of the year. I thought I would challenge myself after failing miserably last year. But it’s something I may pick up,lunar some point, after noting others’ thoughts here!

[itsfi]

@eshoe, you’re almost one-third of the way there. You can do it.

[eshoe]

Thank you, @itsfi. So far, so good. My list is going strong for July/August, though!

[heartsmyface]

@itsfi  Hmmmm, I bet we can get them through White Rabbit Express if they’re available in Japan. we just need to find a store that carries them. 

[itsfi]

@heartsmyface, I'll send you screen shots of what the other mask liners look like and any brand info I can find. I remember one being available in Singapore; will check for ones from Japanese brands. 4 more sleeps until my February no buy is over and these Skin Inc. liners are one of the first things on my list to pick up. It'll be with notes/reward points so I'll feel even better about it. 😁 

[heartsmyface]

@itsfi  Is this them?  I wasn’t expecting them to be synthetic. I have half a mind to go buy some silk satin and figure out how to line my pré existing  masks with it.  

 

[itsfi]

Yes @heartsmyface! Those are the ones. I didn't realize they were made of synthetic material either. Grrr. Good catch. 

That's so funny you brought up buying your own silk fabric and using it to line your masks. I was toying with the idea of picking up some fabric as well and making my own version of this liner.

[heartsmyface]

@itsfi   It’s definitely looking like there’s a void in the market for silk liners.  Everything I’m

 seeing is ‘silky’ and synthetic or silk but with seams against the face.   I want the satin on the INSIDE of my mask and with none of the seams against my face.  I’m thinking French seams will hide nicely.  Am I asking a lot?  It appears so.  I’m going to make some patterns tonight and play with an old silk pillowcase and see what works.  Oh yes!!! Silk on the bias is definitely the answer!  It’s got the perfect amount of stretch!  
D says we can take a trip to fabricland tomorrow and,lol, I don’t have to cut up the linens.  I’m all wanting to start NOW!   😅

[itsfi]

@heartsmyface, is this something that might work for you? It looks like a Canadian based company.

 

[heartsmyface]

@itsfi  Hey they’re local!  I’ve got my heart set on arts and crafts now so too late.  I got a little kick out of their washing instructions though!  Do not microwave.  That cannot be good for the elastic or the microwave.  

[itsfi]

The arts and crafts will be fun @heartsmyface! 🤩 Keep us posted! 

[heartsmyface]

@itsfi   wow, you’ve done so well this month!!  not to be a little devil on your shoulder or anything but a device to protect your skin from friction and from getting raw hardly counts as a beauty purchase unless you plan to buy a few other items in the same transaction.  😉 

I imagine going through your empties at the end of the month is going to be VERY satisfying knowing you didn’t bring anything in all month!  😄 

[itsfi]

@heartsmyface, completely agree! 😄 I would pull the trigger on the mask liners but as you said, there are a *few* things that I have in my cart that are not as functional as the mask liner. Heehee! 

I'm so happy to have pushed these out the door and happier still that there are some unused items I am able to donate. I've also been setting aside a handful of other new and unused products, with the idea that if I don't reach for them by the end of summer, I'll donate those as well. It'll be very satisfying to know that the only things I've purchased this month is food. lol. 

[eshoe]

“I” for I snubbed it, I loved it, and now It’s discontinued🤦🏻‍♀️

The DearPacker Snow Lotus Honey Sheet Mask has been sitting in my drawer for awhile now. Not sure why; I loved the other one I tried last year). Inside I found a blush pink, gel-soaked mask with a single hard plastic mesh protective layer. It has a very subtle, sweet honey scent, and was chock-full of goopy serum. It fit well, no snipping necessary. I left it on around 30 minutes. My face felt and looked pleasantly plump, with only a little bit of remaining tackiness. I immediately went went to search my deleted emails to see where I purchased this, so I could add it to my buy again list...and it’s been discontinued. A reminder to use the masks I have, and don’t snub a possible love before it’s too late! 

Thank you @ShortErica for this much-needed theme!

[lmaster]

Ohhhhh noooo @eshoe yep I noticed all the dearpacker are gone from Ulta 😣

[eshoe]

Such a bummer @lmaster. Their hydrogels were good, too. I wonder if those are still available. I remember they were one of the few that pretty much stayed in place instead of sliding off my face😂
