Thank you @Aaliaa for starting this thread, and giving us a place to share our love for masks💗
Got more vitamins in this week thanks to @Kim888's mask of the week theme. 😉 And a couple of "L" treats as well. 😀
Vitamin masks, Round 2 - I've used each of these masks before and thought I'd give them another go. My overall thoughts remained relatively the same with each of these masks this second time around. Of these four, my favorite is the one from The Face Shop (bottom right).
Purlisse Coconut + Rice Nourishing Sheet Mask:
Spoiler
The Purlisse Coconut + Rice Nourishing Sheet Mask is chock full of vitamins as a result of its two star ingredients - coconut flesh is high in vitamins C, E, B1, B3, B5 and B6. Rice is a good source of vitamin B9 (folate) and vitamin E. Despite the material being slightly thicker than your standard sheet mask (and even though this mask was probably close to the end of its shelf life), this mask wore pretty well. It lightly hydrated and moisturized the skin and left it ever so slightly brighter. This is a mask I'd use again (though I would pay more attention to using it well before its expiration date as my initial use of this mask over a year ago yielded more noticeable results), but I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to pick it up - the mask itself is fine enough; there are just other sheet masks I like better.
Laneige Water Pocket Sheet Mask (Clear-C):
Spoiler
This masking also fit the letter of the week theme, with a "L" for Laneige and Lush. Laneige Water Pocket Sheet Mask Clear-C contains extracts of two vitamin C superfoods - acerola and acai. The material on this one is great - soft and ultra thin. It holds a lot of the clear, slightly viscous, very light floral-scent. My complexion appeared slightly brighter after an half hour but not much more so to make this one stand apart from other brightening masks. These sheet masks seem to have faded away, both at Sephora and on Laneige's US and international sites, which is too bad; there were a couple of masks within the collection I really enjoyed.
Sephora Collection Clean Face Mask (Grapefruit):
Spoiler
Grapefruit is rich in vitamin C. The soft, thin untreated Eucalyptus fiber material of the Sephora Collection Clean Face Mask (Grapefruit) adheres well and wears comfortably. I've experienced some tingling both times, though less so this time. The clear, viscous gel-like, grapefruit scented essence leaves my skin hydrated, but I didn't notice any results for its purifying and perfecting claims. This mask isn't bad, but it's not my favorite from the new clean line of masks.
The Face Shop Ryan Jeju Aloe Fresh Icy Soothing Face Mask:
Spoiler
The Face Shop Ryan Jeju Aloe Fresh Icy Soothing Face Mask is another mask that can fall within both of this week's mask themes. L for lion? You're lyin'!! 😆 Aloe, the star ingredient, contains vitamins A, B9, B12, C, and E. I love that this mask comes in 2 pieces and that it is incredibly thin and soft while holding a creamy-milky serum. It feels cool and refreshing on the skin. Would make a great mask after a long day outside in the sun. The character Ryan is supposed to be a lion. I am still not at all convinced about that. Ryan is the most bear-like lion I have ever seen.
SEPHORA COLLECTION Clean Face Mask Grapefruit
SEPHORA COLLECTION Lip Balm & Scrub Tangerine
LANEIGE Lip Glowy Balm Grapefruit
L is for Lassieel, lotion and leave in

So I thought this was my first time using the deep focus mask but upon use I realized I had done it before. It’s an interesting mask where the patches dissolve with the mask use. It’s scentless, well saturated and has a good fit. Overall, I don’t really think it had any particular impact on dark circles, but it was non tacky and my skin felt hydrated.
I’ve also been using the Ouai leave in conditioner. I really like this one and it’s only second to the briogeo one for me! It definitely helps with hydration and frizz .
and I just really like the scent of the Kiehls one!

When The Last Choice Sheet Mask
This is a medium thickness biocellulose sheet mask that was saturated with a white milky essence. It had a pleasant sweet citrusy/orange scent that was very similar to how OH Power Bright smells. The fit was almost perfect - it was just a smidge too long at the jawline. It was very comfortable to wear and the adherence was great, except for the chin part that wouldn't stay put if I moved my mouth. I kept it on for about a half hour. There was a little tack after removing, but absorbed in about 10 minutes. My face looked little brighter/less dull, had a nice glow, felt lightly hydrated, soft and smooth and so refreshed.
I'm not thrilled this has alcohol in it, but at least it's further down in the list. I loved this one and it happens to be my favorite from the line. I will definitely repurchase when I'm out.
